The audiobook was invented in its most primitive form back in 1932, when the American Foundation for the Blind built a recording studio and taped books on vinyl records that could fit 15 minutes of sound per side. The industry Whelan would come to inhabit comes from humble beginnings. ![]() The thing about Julia is, when she records your book, she knows your characters as well as you do. She sent in a demo, and the rest, as they say, is history. “I called her, and I was like, ‘So, what’s this thing with saying the books into a microphone? How does this work?’” she recalls. She told Whelan that she’d be great at narrating, given her background in acting combined with her degree in creative writing and English as well as her love of reading. At the time, the mother of one of her best friends was an audiobook producer and director. “That’s not how the business works.”Īfter a year of struggling to find work and subsequently taking up side gigs like tutoring, Whelan decided to tap into a resource she’d been offered during her college graduation. and get my old job back, and get on another TV show, and just pick up my life where I left it,” she explains with a laugh. “I really thought that I would graduate from school, I would go back to L.A. When she came back to the entertainment world as a young woman in her early 20s a few years later, however, she was hit by the hard realization that it wasn’t the same industry she’d left. When she was in her late teens, Whelan took a break from acting to attend Middlebury College and also spent time studying abroad at Oxford. ![]() “I just wanted to experience being as many different people as I could be in this world where we only get to be one person.” For Whelan, the goal was never to become famous. That was just baked into the cake really early.”ĭespite not coming from a family in show business, she soon began working as a child actor, starring in ABC’s family drama Once and Again (1999-2002) for three seasons and playing the titular role in the Lifetime television movie The Secret Life of Zoey (2002) alongside Mia Farrow, among other projects. I was an only child, so even before I could write, I would dictate stories to babysitters, and then I would act them out. “I was doing local children’s theater from the time I was 5 onward. “I was just one of those kids that kind of came out of the womb that way,” she tells Shondaland. She did, however, know from an incredibly early age that she loved acting. Like many in the field, 38-year-old Whelan didn’t start her career wanting to work on audiobooks. ![]() She’s as in demand as an actor can get in the world of audiobook narration, and she isn’t planning on stopping any time soon. Her impressive list of narration credits includes The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah, and Educated by Tara Westover, to name just a few. If you’ve listened to some of the most popular commercial audiobook releases - fiction, romances, thrillers, memoirs, and young adult - in the last decade or so, chances are that quite a few of them were read by Whelan. And when it comes to audiobooks, no other narrator is as prolific of an “auto-buy” narrator than Julia Whelan. It’s a connection that virtually every writer hopes to have with fans - and one that can be hard to come by.īut for quite a few readers who love audiobooks, it’s not necessarily an author who guides the selections they choose instead, they may follow the work of a particular narrator. In the world of book publishing, it’s not unusual for readers to have writers they call “auto-buy” authors: They’ll preorder every new release as soon as it goes on sale and then finish it the same day it comes out. ![]()

Usher said he took inspiration collectively by looking at his friends' personal situations. Dupri, however, confessed that his personal life is the real story of the album. It was later revealed that Chilli in fact broke up with Usher because of cheating, and the media said otherwise because of the lyrics in the song, which was not based on their relationship. ![]() In early 2004, Usher broke up with Chilli due to "irreconcilable differences and because they found it almost impossible to make compromises." Usher said in an interview: "It's unfortunate when you have to let a situation go because it's not working", which added reference to the breakup. Usher decided about the new material "to let it all hang out by singing about some of his own little secrets, as well as a few bones from his homies' skeleton-filled closets." The public speculated that he was referring to his recent personal struggles, on which he promised a "real talk". ![]() In the United Kingdom, a CD and 12-inch single were issued on June 28, 2004. It was released commercially in the United States on March 21, 2004, as a CD single, digital download, and 7-inch single. "Burn" was sent to US rhythmic contemporary and urban contemporaryradio stations on March 1, 2004. However, the favorable response to the song led to a change "Yeah!" was the lead single and "Burn" was set as its follow-up. "Yeah!", which was intended as a promotional song and a teaser for Usher's fans, was released to street DJs and mixtapes. Until "Yeah!" was leaked, "Burn" was chosen as the official first single from Confessions. Usher was doubtful if the former was the right choice, after he wanted an R&B record. Reid was considering whether "Yeah!" would be released then, being as they also had "Burn". Label personnel were undecided as to what to consider as the lead single. That's when I came in." They worked on few more tracks, including "Red Light", which was not included in the first release of the album, and "Yeah!", which features Ludacris and Lil Jon. They had 'Burn,' 'Burn' was hot, but they needed that first powerful monster. Usher went back to the studio and collaborated with Lil Jon, who said, "He needed a single. ![]() After he and the company's then-president Antonio "LA" Reid listened to the songs, they felt the album needed a first single and that they needed to create one or two more songs, which caused the album's release to be postponed. Usher submitted the album to his label Arista Records after he felt it was completed. That's a song right there", and started writing. They said, "Yo, you gotta let that burn . At that time, Usher's two-year relationship with TLC's Chilli was flaming out. During an early session for the album, Dupri and Cox talked about a situation which later became "Burn". Dupri contacted his frequent collaborator Bryan-Michael Cox, who had also made hits like the 2001 single " U Got It Bad" for Usher. Kelly, among others, to work on his fourth studio album, Confessions (2004). Usher again enlisted record-producer Jermaine Dupri, who had collaborated on his two previous albums, along with The Neptunes and R. When Usher planned to make a new record after his third album, 8701 (2001), he decided to not branch out much with collaborators and continue building music with his previous producers. ![]() This song won the 2005 Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Song. In 2009 it was named the 21st most successful song of the 2000s on the Billboard Hot 100 Songs of the Decade. The song was well received by critics and garnered award nominations. "Burn" was certified platinum in Australia and United States and gold in New Zealand. Both singles gave Usher nineteen consecutive weeks at the top spot, longer than any solo artist of the Hot 100 era. "Burn" topped various charts around the world, including the Billboard Hot 100 for eight non-consecutive weeks it succeeded "Yeah!" at number one. "Burn" was released as the second single from the album on March 21, 2004. Originally planned as the album's lead single, "Burn" was pushed back after favorable responses for the song " Yeah!". The song was produced by Dupri and Cox for Usher's fourth studio album, Confessions (2004).

Note: Future's Market can be good, however, you want to use it for important items like legendaries/mythics instead of potions and control wards. ![]() Broken rune to take if you're going the First Strike setup. ![]() ★ You can save 300 gold and gain 15 movement speed for free. IF, you feel like you can land EVERY single Q AND your combo, then First Strike can be good (this is why I can't take this rune since I know I'll miss a **** ton of Qs)! ★ This is still very early and taking this rune is very situational and very troll at the same time. If you're looking to roam alot, Relentless Hunter will be your friend. ★ You get your ultimate up faster for more 1 v 1s. Take Cut Down if enemies are mostly tanks. ★ Since you'll be heavy trading in lane, you'll probably be low health. Legend: Tenacity also works if you're up against heavy CC like Galio, Zoe, LeBlanc, etc. Faster attack speed = more damage output for your extended trades. Triumph would work if you believe it can save you from a 1 v 2 fight. ★ In my opinion, it's just really necessary to take Presence of Mind as you can spam abilties and get faster energy regen from the extended trades. The difference between Electrocute and Conqueror setup in the early game is that once you've used W+E+Q on the enemy, you can actually swap back to your shadow and take an extended traded more effectively. I usually take Conqueror against Yasuo, Yone, Sylas, Galio, etc. ★ Conqueror feels really nice when you're most likely taking extended trades. So I like to take Gathering Storm just in case if my game goes past 30 minutes to ensure a higher chance of winning the late game. ★ I mean you can opt in for Scorch, but I feel like the games are taking much longer as less people are afk'ing (they may still troll, but it takes longer for the game to end) and tankier items are present. Bottom line, Transcendence is really good on Zed. This isn't required for Zed as everything in the secondary tree comes down to personal preference. You're Living Shadow comes right up after you use it and it feels really good. ★ The amount of ability haste it provides for your non-ultimate abilities at level 11+ is insane. If you like building Youmuu's Ghostblade then you can take Ultimate Hunter for lower ult CD. ★ As of Patch 10.25, I really don't like building ghostblade when Relentless Hunter gives faster movespeed when you're out of combat. (Just a reminder, if you went for Conqueror, make sure to check my provided rune page above!) This depends on personal preference, whether you want to have alittle more vision or just more raw damage as you stack up Eyeball Collection. ★ You can either take Ghost Poro or Eyeball Collection. However, if you're against an easy match up with no heavy poke/immobile champs, taking Sudden Impact would be the better choice. Taste of Blood is great for better laning phase (if you're going against Syndra or heavy poke champs) and better sustain. ★ You can take Taste of Blood or Sudden Impact for this tree. However, if you're going up against 2+ tanks ( Amumu, Maokai, Sett, Hecarim) or if y'all are full ad, I would take Conqueror. If you're going the domination tree as primary, I would take Electrocute 100% of the time (unless there's an update in the future). Zed's main combo (W+E+Q) easily procs Electrocute and helps out with laning phase. ★ Zed synergies greatly with Electrocute. ![]() ![]() ![]() After receiving your packs, you can immediately start the next battles.

Specifically, I'll be using asciinema for the recording with the -c flag (see here), and demo-magic.sh for the automated typing, since it supports waiting for commands to finish executing (or not) and custom wait times on top of that. What I'm planning on doing for a project I'm in is to use both asciinema as well as demo-magic.sh. Rather than fighting idiomatic go practices.I've searched for a lot of solutions for my own projects, and this is the solution that I've come up with: My solution: Limit the "command line instructions" to: I gather it's distributed as an archive in order for the Changelog, Readme and License to be available - but as it's all downloaded from github anyway, it's hard to see why that really matters (rather than just have -h spit out a link or two).Īs, if you're using a normal, full-featured web browser, there's no way of knowing if what you select, is what you copy and then paste - it would probably be better to just link directly to the latest binary release for the various platforms (linux32, linu圆4, linux-arm, OSX 32bit, OSX 64bit) - and let the user save the binary somewhere. In this case, it seems like a lot of effort to get a tgz-archive just to download a single executable. Put it in ~/opt with xstow, and add ~/opt/bin to your path, ~/opt/man to your man-path, ~/opt/include, ~/opt/lib. But why would you need to demand all users of your system (even if that's just system users) also trust it? And in this particular case, the app has access (by design) to your terminal, so yeah, you need to trust the app a bit. You typically need root to write to the system dirs (/usr/* /bin etc). It's pretty rare for an app to need root privileges. Any suggestions on the topic are welcome! There are few of them out there so if anyone can point me to any "proven/reliable" one I'd appreciate that. I'm thinking about using one of these services which auto-build deb/rpm, they host them as apt/yum repos etc. curl/sh sucks on many fronts but I made sure the script doesn't get executed when partially downloaded and it's not "| sudo sh". "First download this script, then review it, then run it" is not that hard but most people wouldn't review the script anyway, and those who would are the ones who are doing that now anyway. ![]() For all other distros (and people wanting new version right now) you can curl/sh which is equally easy. Next thing is: "apt-get install asciinema" or "brew install asciinema" is awesome because it uses your software package manager and it's a single command. So time (or lack of thereof) is one thing. Sure, these guys do this too in their spare time and they don't owe me anything.īut when seeing this I'm like "oh boy, packaging is hard, I don't have time for dealing with this". Let's not get into "Go packaging" discussion again, but what you can see in the mentioned Gentoo thread there's always some problem (no vendoring is bad, vendoring is bad). That's fine.īut there are also situations like this: There are no packages for other distros, but we'll never be able to provide ones for all distros (unless we're very popular project with lots of contributors). I maintain Arch Linux one (while not using Arch for more than few years now) but this one's usually ready on the release day. There are 2 nice guys who maintain the first two packages, doing great job, but it always takes time until the packages are ready (we're all doing it in our spare time, and there's process, especially Fedora case, which you can't skip). There's also homebrew package and Arch Linux one (aur). Let me describe you the situation.Īt the moment there are native packages for Ubuntu/Debian (ppa) and Fedora/CentOS (in core repo).
