1. Freelancer Fights for Justice
Ukrainian journalist Mikhail Podoliak has been expelled from
Belarus for allegedly trying to destabilize the country's
authoritarian regime.
The writer was awoken by the KGB at 7.00 and given 15 minutes
to get ready, then was bundled into a train which took him over
the border.
"This utterly arbitrary measure harks back to the grim practices
of the Stalinist era," Reporters Without Borders and BAJ said.
"We are alarmed at the steady deterioration in respect for press
freedoms in Belarus, where independent journalists are
systematically harassed, especially by the KGB," they added."
Although the USSR may be long gone, freelancers are still fighting
for free speech in the former Soviet bloc. ********************************************
2. Hot Job:
Develop Sports Silhouettes
An artist or designer is needed to create original sports silhouettes.
It will need to look realistic, not cartoon like. The key is to be able to
select a pose that will work well as a silhouette, and provide a level
of detail that makes the image look crisp, as if you are looking at a
live individual. The pose must show a realistic position, but the
position selected must show enough detail, while ensuring technical
accuracy.

Testimonials
"I took a chance one day when I was flush and sent a few bucks to gain access to the Go Freelance Professional Edition. Since then, I've edited a sales letter, a follow-up letter, an 11-page Web site, and a brochure. I'm 'on call' to do pinch-hit proofreading for a medical newsletter editor in Florida ..and I've landed a gig editing a new Canadian magazine coming out this fall. All this from taking a chance on Go Freelance."
