I expertly expelled the contents of my being without getting anything on myself. I braced for the next rocking of the boat and prepared for the oncoming evacuation. I looked at the other “seals” on the boat who were horrifically observing my display. My breakfast chum was thrown 6 feet from me. I prepared to heave hard, fast, and far away from my body. I apologized to my husband as I grabbed the starboard side of the boat, knowing I was about to expel breakfast at the next downside of the watery mountain. The sickness started with a splitting headache, mainly due to the fumes, I guessed. The overwhelming inhalation of toxic fumes chugging out of the ancient and unmaintained engine, the smell of the fish used for chum, and the rigorous swells were overcoming my brain, balance, and body. I was hellbent on maintaining composure and keeping my breakfast - scrambled eggs, black coffee, and orange juice - from making an appearance. We had spent $2,500 dollars to see a great white up close and to dive with the apex of the ocean. I found the shore and focused on a stationary object. I’ve spent days on old, slow-moving, diesel-fueled dive boats without problems. The little vessel was folding in on itself from side to side at a 45-degree angle all the while expelling noxious diesel fumes. We were rocking from port to starboard while being pummeled by 20-foot waves. The swells were so intense that the captain struggled to maintain a position. Including our crew, our boat holds a baker’s dozen plus a few additional crumbs. Our slow-moving, ancient, diesel-fueled boat chugs along for an hour to reach the destination where the whites were last spotted. We lumber to the boat like a dozen poorly dressed seals ready to tease the apex of the ocean by dressing like their favorite morsel. Everyone is excited and ready to experience the great whites. This is on the tippy top of my bucket list! We arrive at the outfitters and, along with 10 other participants, we slip into our wetsuits. IN … and I’m taking my parents and husband with me. The cost for this expedition is roughly $600 per person. Boat tour operators estimate 80% of viewers will get up and personal for at least 5 minutes with a great white while in a surface cage. I was having girl issues at that time, and unbeknownst to me, I had nearly made us the main course at the shark’s dinner party.Ģ017, Cape Town, South Africa, I became obsessed with the “flying sharks” that can jump skywards of 15 feet out of the water to reach their prey. We were diving in a turtle washing station in shallow water just 60 yards off the beach when we noticed them. Maui, 2007, My husband, myself and a master diver friend of ours noticed some natives swiftly swim past us, splashing on shore trying furiously to get our attention. By fortune, I had danced my rum-filled brain back to shore prior to the arrival of the murderous duo that were hanging by their tails the following morning. We visited The Rainbow Bar on Caye Caulker - a local establishment famous for its panty ripper drinks.Ī few of those and I had no inhibitions being in the sharks’ hunting ground at their dinner time. Beauty in the Beast logo (Courtesy/Stacy McCloud)īelize, 2003, I frolicked in the same water at dusk that two bull sharks were pulled from just hours later. This is the shark who inspired the blockbuster movie. This shark prefers to hunt at dusk and dawn in shallow waters. One of the top oceanic apex predators is the bull shark. These are the two most deadly man-eaters.Īny Jaws fan will tell you that the movie is loosely based on the actual events of a man-eater. I have swum with many species of shark, scuba dived with a handful of man-eaters, and unknowingly been in the dangerous proximity of the tiger shark and bull shark. Diving with the great white shark is on the top of my list. Like everyone, I have a bucket list that I am constantly adding to, improvising and adjusting.

My site, Inbox Collective, is a good example of that: I have a website, where I publish original work, but also a separate newsletter. It’s what I call a “simple publishing” approach - they use one platform to handle email and web content.īut some writers have a newsletter as part of a larger website. There’s no secondary website or additional content - everything they write and send exists within a single platform. Go to their website,, and you’re taken directly to a page where you can see their previous stories and sign up to receive more. Take the Arizona Agenda, a daily newsletter from Rachel Leingang and Hank Stephenson, two reporters who cover state politics in Arizona. Some indie newsletters keep things simple. 1.) Is your newsletter part of a larger website, or do you want it to be a standalone project? Go through these questions, figure out your answers - and then we’ll walk through the six ESPs and talk about which ones match up well with certain answers. I’ve found in working with indie newsletters that there are seven questions that can help you identify the right email tool. I’d certainly appreciate it if you used the links in here - everything on and in Not a Newsletter is free, and this is one way you can support this work! But at the end of the day, the most important thing for me is that you find the right tool to help you build a great newsletter. (Two exceptions: I don’t have an affiliate link for Mailchimp, and Substack’s commission is only paid out if a newsletter turns on a paid subscription.)īut this is the important part: All of these are tools I’ve used myself or with clients - they’re tools I like and independently recommend. I’ve also included affiliate links in here - if you use those links when signing up for one of these ESPs, I may receive a small commission. In a moment, I’ll walk through what makes each of these platforms so useful, what they cost, and why they might be right for you.Īnd I want to be up front about this: I have some sort of partner or affiliate relationship with each of the six tools listed in this guide. These are the six tools I recommend you take a closer look at: (And in some cases, I haven’t used an ESP enough to fully endorse it.) I’ve tried to pick tools that I think appeal to the broadest possible group of writers, but narrowing it down to a few options meant making some hard cuts. Second, there are a lot of great email options that I’ve excluded from this list. When I say “indie newsletters,” I mean newsletters launched by an individual or small team without the support or financial backing of a larger, established organization - these are people looking to build something on their own. In this article, I’m focused on the indie newsletter space. In this guide, I’ve narrowed the list down to six options I think are worth a closer look.įirst, these aren’t my recommendations for larger publishers, non-profits, or ecommerce businesses. I’ve worked with newsletters on dozens of platforms and gotten the chance to see what works and what doesn’t. How do you choose one that’s best for you? You’ll have your choice of several great email tools that can help you sell subscriptions, easily integrate advertising, or run polls from within a newsletter.īut there are almost too many email options to choose from - literally, dozens of ESPs, many of which have very similar features. When it comes to choosing the right tech, there’s never been a better time to be an independent writer with a newsletter. Picking the right ESP, or email service provider, is the first big step in your newsletter journey. If you’re launching your own indie newsletter, you’re going to need a great tool to help you send out emails. This guide was first published in December 2022. The guide was informed by Dan’s work with clients on each of these six platforms and tests run by Dan on each platform, as well as conversations with hundreds of newsletter operators who use each of the platforms. He previously worked as the Director of Newsletters at both The New Yorker and BuzzFeed. These reviews were written by Dan Oshinsky, who runs Inbox Collective, a consultancy that helps news organizations, non-profits, and indie newsletters get the most out of email. Medical speech recognition capabilities are sought by data analytics application developers to assist them swiftly and accurately transcribing video and audio incorporating COVID-19 terminology into text for downstream analytics. Speech-to-text API is moving to the forefront of technology enablers as companies adopt a more strategic strategy that offers resilience into operations through flexibility and scalability while also working to increase operational efficiencies. Many contact centers were unable to meet demand or were forced to close due to lockdown restrictions, resulting in high wait times for customer service requests and a negative impact on the customer experience. Many organizations witnessed increased consumer pressure during the pandemic, while their number of available workers was reduced. However, the key obstacles in the speech-to-text API market are multilingual support for captioning and subtitling, as well as establishing unique vocabulary across multiple verticals. Speech-to-text APIs, for example, can help students with hearing loss communicate with their teachers and peers. The progress is evidenced not only by the rapid increase in the number of academic papers published in the subject but also by the widespread industry use of a range of deep learning approaches in the design and implementation of voice recognition systems around the world.Īny video or audio-based information can be captioned and subtitled using the speech-to-text API technology, allowing struggling listeners or learners with visual impairments to understand and complete their work without assistance. Deep learning and big data advancements have aided the field in recent years. It encompasses electrical engineering, computer science, and linguistics research and knowledge. This is also called as Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) or Speech-to-Text. Speech-to-text API is a multidisciplinary subject of computational linguistics that explores methods that allow computers to translate and recognize audible language into text. New York, Ap(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - announces the release of the report "Global Speech-to-text API Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Component, By Vertical, By Organization Size, By Deployment Type, By Application, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2021 - 2027".

Taping provides a wide range of benefits for those recovering from plantar fasciitis, as well as athletes or anyone who likes to stay active.

Kinesiology tape or athletic tape, when applied in certain ways, can help stabilize a damaged arch, giving it the support it needs to recover safely. Normally this tissue is springy and elastic, making it easy to move around without strain, but if it becomes injured or inflamed, the plantar fascia can become stiff, causing pain when used. The plantar fascia is a tissue on the underside of the foot, used when walking, running, or standing. Learn more about the benefits of taping, as well as different applications below. It works by providing additional support to the plantar fascia, taking pressure off the arch of the foot.

Damon calls security to throw him out, but Travis cuts down his bodyguard and demands the Death Ball containing Serious Moonlight. Travis confronts Damon in a VIP room during the concert. When it becomes apparent that Travis does not know where Croatia is, Juliet advises him to instead wait for the Utopinia music festival occurring the day afterwards, as Damon will be attending the VIP afterparty. Damon's tertiary secretary, Juliet Chesterfield, reluctantly divulges that he is on a business trip to a place called City of Split in Croatia. Travis arrives in San Jose and attempts to track Damon down at the Utopiland Amusement Complex, the headquarters of the Utopinia corporation. Travis describes him as a "real asshole" who is the CEO of the Utopinia corporation and the keeper of the Death Ball for Serious Moonlight. He became so infuriated that he beat Juvenile to the point of unconsciousness, took the Death Ball, and went home.ĭamon is first mentioned by Travis in the "Hell's Chainsaw" scenario of Travis Strikes Again. He claimed that she looked down him due to his position as an intern. However, Damon remained bitter towards Juvenile and wanted to see Serious Moonlight finished at any cost, so he pressed Juvenile for the game's Death Ball. After the project ended up canned at the last minute, Damon was sent to another team. He and the other staff objected to Juvenile’s eccentric game design. He worked hard on the game, but Juvenile often implemented ideas out of the blue, resulting in the game getting stuck in development hell. They promised to reunite 20 years later.Īs a young adult, Damon got a position as an intern in the video games industry, working with Dr. After discovering a piece of alien technology where FU crashed, Damon's brain was imbued with mysterious powers, enabling him to build a rocket for his alien friend. They formed a tenuous friendship as Damon helped FU evade government agents and find a way for FU to return home. Relationships FU Main article: FU Travis Touchdown Main article: Travis Touchdown Story History Įight years before the events of No More Heroes, Damon discovered FU, an alien stranded on Earth after a crash-landing. And even still continues to think of him as his closest friend even as he was shocked by FU's goals for world domination. He justifies his actions by insinuating that she deserved it for being condescending to him, a response that disgusts even Travis.īut once at a young age (before reaching corruption), he took in FU and helped him return to his home despite the threat of government intervention. He is not above using violence to get what he wants, at one point admitting that he had once beaten Juvenile to the point of unconsciousness in order to steal a Death Ball. He has dark, shaggy hair and wears a polo shirt. 3.2 Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroesĭamon's portrait is that of a youthful-looking man with an aloof expression.Upon realizing Paradox was dead, FU let his body unceremoniously roll to the floor. Annoyed by Paradox's laziness, FU violently headbutted him repeatedly to wake him up, ending up killing him with the repeated trauma to the head. He awoke him and to send him after Travis next, but Paradox remained drowsy and wanted to go back to sleep. FU, agitated by "playing too many video games" and anxious to fight Travis, found Paradox Bandit sleeping in a corner of his throne room. Paradox then goes to take a nap.Īfter the defeat of Sniping Lee it was supposed to be Sonic Juice's turn, but he was missing. Each of them promises victory to FU and are somewhat irritated by Damon's insolence. Paradox Bandit appears alongside Sniping Lee and Sonic Juice as part of the final Big Four in the Galactic Superhero Rankings. He wields a battleaxe although it is unknown how skilled he is and the alien is also capable of levitation. However, not much of his abilities can be seen as he was unceremoniously beaten to a pulp by FU. Giving his ranking as the second highest of Galactic Superhero Corps, he is only second in terms of power to FU.
