The U.S. Justice Department on Thursday released a withering report into the hundreds of Texas law enforcement officers’ fumbled response to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting, finding “cascading failures of leadership, decision-making, tactics, policy and training.”

The long-anticipated 575-page report detailed the many failures of the May 24, 2022 response, but concluded the most significant was that officers should have immediately recognized that it was an active shooter situation and confronted the gunman, who was with victims in two adjoining classrooms.

It noted that since the 1999 Columbine High School shooting, American law enforcement officers have been trained to prioritize stopping the shooter while everything else, including officer safety, is secondary.

“These efforts must be undertaken regardless of the equipment and personnel available,” the report found.

Instead, officers wrongly treated the situation as a barricaded suspect, even as children and teachers pleaded for help with 911 operators. It took 77 minutes for officers to confront the shooter. Nineteen students and two teachers died that day and 17 others were injured in one of the country’s worst school shootings.

The federal review by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services was announced just five days after the shooting. It was led by Orange County Sheriff John Mina, the incident commander during the 2016 Pulse Nightclub massacre in Orlando. In that incident, officers waited three hours to take down the shooter who had barricaded himself with victims in a bathroom.

A Justice Department and National Policing Institute review of that Florida law enforcement response was far less critical than the Uvalde report. It found that Florida officers mostly followed best practices, although it stated the law enforcement agencies in Orlando should update their training and policies.

In the Uvalde review, the federal team reviewed more than 14,100 pieces of data and documentation, including policies, training logs, body camera footage, audio recordings, interview transcripts and photographs.

The team visited Uvalde nine times, spending 54 days there, and conducted more than 260 interviews with people from more than 30 organizations and agencies, including law enforcement officers, school staff, medical personnel, survivors and victims’ families.

The Uvalde report’s release comes two months after ProPublica, the Texas Tribune and PBS’ Frontline published an investigation into the response after gaining access to a trove of investigative materials, including more than 150 interviews with officers and dozens of body cameras.

The material showed that the children at Robb Elementary followed active shooter protocols, while many of the officers did not. It detailed how officers treated the situation as a barricaded suspect rather than an active threat even as evidence mounted quickly that children and teachers were injured and with the shooter.

ProPublica and the Tribune have also revealed that some officers were afraid to confront the gunman because he had a deadly AR-15 rifle. With the Washington Post, the news organizations found that the medical response also was flawed and that two children and a teacher were still alive when they were rescued more than an hour later, but then died.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland is expected to discuss the federal report at an 11 a.m. press conference.

Moonshot Network is opening for YOUR podcast pitches this Friday! But who even ARE we? What does that mean? How do you even send a pitch????

Good news: we’ve made this handy slideshow in order to answer all those questions, and also questions you didn’t even know you had! It’s a condensed version of our official pitch guide, to save you the trouble of clicking through to the GDoc link! You can also find the full plain text below the cut here.

What is Moonshot and why should I pitch you my podcast, anyway?

WHO WE ARE

Moonshot is a podcast network built on creative collaborations and far-out ideas. Some of our work includes: podcast seasons recorded in 24 hours, a dunk tank fundraiser stream, amateur Pokemon competitions, fanfiction actual plays, and deep media analysis of things like Saw, Christmas music, Harlequin romance novels, and the Halo 3 alternate reality game.

Our primary goal is to be a home for out-there ideas, shorter and seasonal projects, and experiments in the podcast medium that might not fit in anywhere else. We aim to provide the enthusiasm, the structure, and support for our members to work on their dream projects.

Our second goal is giving first-time and early-career creators the tools they need for a successful start. We feel strongly that podcasting should not be a gatekept medium, and aim to support new creators with the funding and guidance to make their show a success.

WHAT WE HOST

Here are some examples of shows currently on our network:

ARGonauts Podcast: Andrew and Marn do deep dives into the niche world of alternate reality games and the people who create them.

Riley Hopkins and Their Amazing Friends: Short-form actual play series and one-offs that focus on transformative fanwork and crossovers of established shows/franchises/characters.

I’ll Be Pod For Castmas: A seasonal podcast released in July and December where Juliet and Katherine pick a piece of holiday pop culture and discuss it through the lens of a piece of topical classic literature.

After School Anime Club: Max, Max, and Stevie take a nostalgia trip back to the anime of their youth, and play game shows about it along the way.

The Podcast Mines: There But For The Grace Of Pod Go We: Riley and Andrew pitch each other podcasts, talk about the medium of podcasting, and sometimes do neither of those things.

WHAT WE OFFER

We offer network members a lot of perks, including:

Coverage of hosting costs, plus access to Pinecast's advanced analytics

A pre-existing community of fans and listeners to introduce your show to

Collaborative network shows with monthly spots for guest hosts

Other podcasters to talk shop and collaborate with in our creators-only Discord

Assets for streaming, a Twitch channel, and (time permitting) a stream producer

Subscriptions to Soundstripe (royalty-free music ) and Otter.ai (transcription services)

Optional participation in large group charity livestreams

OKAY...HOW DO I PITCH?

If you’re a creator looking to pitch us on a not-yet-published show, send us:

A strong pitch of your idea - what the base premise of the show is, an introduction to the regular hosts, what topics you hope to cover, and anything else that feels relevant. For audio dramas, feel free to send us an outline of the plot alongside the basic pitch!

A recorded and edited pilot episode.

OPTIONAL: More sample episodes, if you’ve already recorded them.

OPTIONAL: More scripted episodes, if you’re making an audio drama.

Examples of your past audio work. If you don’t have any, don’t worry! As long as your pitch is solid, you don’t need to have prior experience.

If you’re a creator looking to pitch an ongoing/established show, you’ll need:

A link to your feed.

Links to 3-5 episodes that exemplify what your show is about, and what it sounds like at its best.

If you’re a creator that has a pitch that is outside of these two options:

3-5 episodes in some format.

A solid pitch for why we should take on your show!

Please send these things to [email protected] with the subject line PITCH: [Your Podcast Name Here]. The body of your email should include a brief introduction of yourself, your podcast, and any cohosts; followed by links to the above requested content.

If you’re a new creator and have any sort of roadmap for your show, including an outline (for fiction shows) or a list of content you’re going to cover in future episodes (for nonfiction), we’d love to see those too! Please also include links to your and your cohosts’ social media.

Our inbox opens for pitches on November 25th! We hope to see you there!

"Stanford startup TranscribeGlass seeks to bring ease and affordability to assistive technology"

(Article date: February 2023) (Full text and audio version in article link)

Article Quote: Meet TranscribeGlass, an affordable AR device that attaches to your glasses

and, paired with your transcription software of choice, projects real-time captions in front of your eyes. […]

The TranscribeGlass Beta is being sold for $55, with the final version expected to land around $95. […]

TranscribeGlass allows users to choose an external captioning service such as caption files from a movie theater,

an automatic speech recognition service or live human captioning.

The captions are then sent via Bluetooth to the hardware,

which projects them in the user’s field of view using augmented reality.

The user can then adjust the size and location of the text to best fit their environment. [..]

Hearing aids are prohibitively expensive for many, […]

Cochlear implants are even more expensive and require invasive surgery.

In addition, hearing aids and cochlear implants don’t work for everyone,

and some Deaf and Hard of Hearing people choose to opt out.

“If you put me in a bar, I have a really hard time,” Pritsky said.

“There are conversations where I primarily nod along; my understanding drops to 20% at best.” [...]

“It’s very powerful to have the perspective of a user as the founder of a company,” Lavakare added. [...]

“The real test of these devices are determined by the individuals from whom they are intended,” David Jaffe, adjunct lecturer of ENGR110: Perspectives in Assistive Technology, wrote to The Daily.

Jaffe said that the product’s “battery life, accuracy” and “freedom from breakdown” are essential,

as well as “how they might be provided to low-income users.”

[...]

Cathy Haas, a lecturer in the Stanford Language Center who teaches American Sign Language (ASL),

got the chance to trial the device when she ran into Pritsky at Stanford’s Coffee House.

“I was a little bit skeptical at first, but then I put it on, and I fell in love with it,” Haas said in an interview conducted in American Sign Language with an interpreter present.

As a Deaf person, she sees many situations where the device could be helpful.

Women have been warned against going to court by barristers and police over fears they could appear "vindictive and bitter " to a jury.

Victims' Commissioner for London Claire Waxman says victims are being "misadvised" that they should not attend their trial after giving evidence - over fears the jury will scrutinise their behaviour.

She is calling for major reform to put victims at the heart of the criminal justice system, which she says is currently leaving victims "confused, distressed and unable to move on".

One woman who's 'abusive' ex-partner was charged with coercive control has told LBC she was "dissuaded" from attending the trial.

What's more, if she did, she would have been forced to sit next to his sister in the court room if she decided to go.

Charlotte, from Hackney in north London, said "the CPS and police often say the jury might be swayed, because they think you're scared of your perpetrator but then when you sit in the gallery, he or she can see you.

"If I did, I would have had to sit on a three person bench next to his sister, and potentially other members of his family, which isn't something I wanted to do".

Charlotte says she was then left feeling "hopeless and humiliated" when her ex was found not guilty. But when she tried to access court documents to explain what was said in the trial in her absence, and explain the decision, she found the transcript didn't exist.

Victims of rape and abuse have told LBC they've been quoted up to £22,000 to access a transcript of Crown Court cases which would help them understand the process and move on from the trauma, but in magistrates courts, transcripts are not routinely recorded.

Ms Waxman is calling for changes to the Victims and Prisoners Bill to make transcripts free to victims, as well as routine recording of magistrates court proceedings for the first time.

She also wants measures like a video link to be provided to victims so they can follow proceedings without the need to be there in person.

Ms Waxman told LBC: "Informal guidance is being given to victims, saying it's best they don't come back in to court because that it will look' vindictive and bitter' if they sit in the public gallery after giving evidence.

"Of course victims will take the lead of the criminal justice agency advising them because they don't know what's best to do.

"There is a safety risk and trauma involved with coming in to court, but they are not offered a video link to watch the trial remotely. And when they want to understand what happened in court, they are charged hundreds or even thousands for a transcript of proceedings.

"We need to make sure it's really clear to those supporting victims that they should be encouraged and have a right to attend the court case after they've given evidence, and they have a right to attend sentencing."

Ms Waxman says the Open Justice for Victims campaign aims to ensure reforms are made including training for justice agencies regarding a victim’s right to attend the trial, and greater awareness and provision of technology to enable virtual attendance of hearings.

She's also calling for juries to be given information about the rights of victims to attend a trial after giving evidence, victims to be able to access written or audio recordings of court proceedings free of charge, and for Magistrate Court cases to be recorded.

LBC has contacted the National Police Chiefs Council and the Crown Prosecution Service for comment.

Get to know my OC!

So I've been tagged in by @rickie-the-storyteller (thanks Rickie!) and the idea of writing an interview of my character really stuck with me, so... here goes nothing! I chose to interview Kat (White Sky's main character) roughly at the beginning of the second act of the plot, as it's currently outlined, anyway. The hubbub of Aristarchus City's main Interplanetary Arrival Terminal is a stark reminder of humanity's burgeoning presence in the cosmos. While not the largest city on the Moon, Aristarchus is nevertheless a bustling hub of commerce, trade and diplomacy, its domes contrasting the nearby crater walls in a defiant stand against the desolation of the lunar surface. Our interview subject for today - former propulsion engineer and now interplanetary wanted fugitive Katarina 'Kat' Lloyd - halts under a rotating softscreen, peering anxiously at the busy thoroughfare. Sneaking between an absentminded luggage porter and a preoccupied miner decked head-to-toe in Toyota-branded mining gear, she hurries over to my table: an unassuming booth built into the wall of a drink stand. Her eyes flicker feverishly between me and the recording drone in the centre of the table. -audio transcript starts-

Kat: Are you sure that thing's... safe? ELTO's got eyes everywhere, you know-

Me: Relax. If ELTO knew you were here, they'd have thrown you out of the nearest service airlock, protocol or no protocol. Drink?

I push a disposable mug of coffee in her direction: Kat takes a hesitant sip and makes a face, pushing it back into the centre of the table.

Kat: God, how do you drink that crap? It's lukewarm. Nobody drinks lukewarm coffee.

Me: I'll admit, it takes some getting used to. Speaking of getting used to things, how are you finding your first trip into space?

She laughs hollowly.

Oh yeah, it's absolutely f**king wonderful. I've been floating around in the spacefaring equivalent of a college dorm room for three days, I'm covered in bruises from hitting just about everything in there, half the crew won't talk to me and the other half won't shut up. Plus, there's the whole 'wanted fugitive apparently harbouring corporate secrets' s**t, so yeah. Everything's f**king peachy.

What's been the hardest part of adapting to space travel?

The cosmic rays. I can feel my DNA splintering by the minute.

She grins at me, tutting and rolling her eyes when I don't respond.

Fine, okay. You're not... printing this anywhere, are you?

Is that an actual question?

Right, sorry, okay. The worst part of spaceflight is going to the bathroom. Sounds weird, but... I wasn't expecting taking a crap to be such a f**king ordeal, you know? First I have to wedge my feet into these footholds before sitting down, so I don't, uh, 'float off' mid-s**t. Then the toilet has this weird inflating cushion thing that suctions itself around... well, y'know, so nothing gets out and the smell doesn't kill the crew. It's constantly sucking, too. Worst feeling ever. I swear, I won't eat a bite on the return journey. The shower's even worse, if you can call it that. You have to squeeze these gel packs of water and soap onto yourself and rub your body down super carefully, using rinseless shampoo to clean your hair. Stupid lemon-scented crap. It just clumps the ends of your hair together. I swear, I'm gonna find the best hairdresser in this s**thole dome and get it all lopped off.

How's the food?

I mean, it's not terrible. Not healthy by any stretch, but I'll live. The water's awful though.

How come?

Well, you probably wouldn't know, Mr-I-Live-On-The-Moon, but unlike your happy little domes where most of your water is sourced from crater meltwater and Earth imports, our ship's water is a closed system. Every piss, every rinse of dishwater, every excess drop scrubbed off of skin ends up recycled in the life-support system. The others ignore it, of course. They've been in space much longer than I have. But every water-based drink has this slight tang to it, and every time I swallow, I can't stop thinking about how much of what I'm drinking is someone else's sweat and pee...

For the record, I live on Earth - Luna's just a side gig. Tell me about home - where were you before all this?

Ooh, sure you won't charge me? F**k journalism, pal, you should go into counselling. How benevolent of you to unravel my deepest emotional scars at the source-

Just answer the question, please...

Oh, who's a touchy little shrink today, hmmm? Okay. Well, for your information, I lived in employee accommodations at Langersprung Developments' Munich science park. I could've gone to Vienna or Berlin, but Vienna's a little intense for my liking and I didn't fancy glowing in the dark after a couple months in Berlin, so Munich it was.

And how'd you get here?

I took the space canoe. Next question.

...what was your dream job?

You know, what an interesting question. I could've sworn I really liked doing something - was it propulsion systems design? No, perish the thought. How silly of me. It's not as if I was minding my f**king business, enjoying the culmination of my life's work, when a bunch of ELTO agents blow the door off my dorm room and almost melt my campus to the ground. That would be preposterous, don't you agree?

Right, sorry.

It's okay. Well, it's not, but I have to let it out somehow, right?

Do you have any hobbies?

Well, aside from the aforementioned corporate espionage, sneaking aboard lunar debris haulers and murdering annoying cloak-and-dagger affronts to the name of journalism, I do dabble in a bit of Scrabble.

Seriously?

Yes, seriously. Keeps the brain occupied, and the limitations of only having seven letters forces me to think with limited resources. Only problem is, I can't play with many people - Yuri gets way too intense, Harry spends his time writing out more swear words than I thought existed and Kaz protests against Scrabble on principle. Some s**t about 'artificially limiting creative expression.' Other than that, I keep up my previous work, designing interplanetary propulsion systems. God forbid becoming a wanted criminal keep me from my work, right?

What do you do to relax? Other than play Scrabble, I mean.

As you can imagine, fleeing the combined law-enforcement systems of an entire species isn't the most chill of circumstances... but yeah, okay, I do find some time to relax. Most of the time I listen to music: Leroy Guilloux, Marbzy, V5, Schiaparelli Dust, that kind of stuff. Harry spends a lot of time blasting out TwenCen music from the 'Eighties' that he can't help but sing up and down the ship in terrible, impromptu karaoke sessions. Sora sent me a few of her old tracks, and they're much more my speed. Kraftwerk, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin - don't s'pose you've heard of 'em?

Not really. My grandad was apparently a fan of Aphex Twin; I found a few albums in a box of his stuff. Actual optical discs, too. No idea how he played them.

Yeah, well, a lot of our crew are obsessed with old s**t like that. They had two 'movie nights' on the way over here. The first was some Huang Min Lee techno-thriller from a few years back: Yuri and Jack loved it. I was barely keeping my eyes open. The other one was this old TwenCen film that Harry wouldn't stop raving about. Judging by the groans from the rest of the crew, they must've seen it a few times. I thought it was quite good for an old film. Can you believe people back then had whole cars that they could just... drive around, wherever they wanted? And what would be the point of keeping a bunch of kids in school on Saturday? They didn't even do schoolwork. I liked the blond kid, though - Brian. Reminded me of myself at school age.

Hmm, okay. What're your plans for the future?

She laughs.

You mean, after ELTO let me out of jail or my brain finishes a century's sentence in some orbital processor farm?

You know what I mean.

Pfft, yeah, sure. Well, I'd like to think I could head back to Earth and continue working, y'know. Obviously not for Langersprung, but maybe for another Eurocorp? I've always liked Scandinavia... if not, maybe I'll look further afield. Australia are doing pretty well with their helix-fusion reactor complexes. If I can avoid the war fallout from the Indo-Pacific, I suppose I wouldn't mind heading down there. Though, knowing my luck, the PECFOR would probably draft Australia in, and I'd end up having to design fusion thermobarics to level a Malaysian city or something. No thank you - spacecraft only.

For someone who's spent a lifetime designing spacecraft engines, you sure seem to hate spaceflight. Are you sure you wouldn't want to, y'know, stay in space?

Well, a plumber might enjoy directing piping drones, but it doesn't mean he wants to live in a s**t-smeared sewer, does it? No f**king thank you! Spaceflight is miserable, uncomfortable and full of annoying s**theads who can't play Scrabble properly. I wouldn't mind going on an interstellar voyage, though. Being cryo-frozen and having a four-year wait time for conversations sounds right up my alley.

What about your family life? Friends? What do you miss about Earth?

Kat gives the recording drone another suspicious side-eye.

Wait, does this thing have visual or holo-recording on, or is it audio only?

Audio only, I'm afraid. My line of work requires a hefty degree of anonymity.

Okay then. For the benefit of you prospective future listeners, I am now raising my... oh dear, what's this? It appears to be my middle finger, good heavens. Now I'm raising it at Mr. Shrinky McAnonymous here.

Miss Lloyd-

Now I'm wiggling it.

...terminating interview with subject Katarina Lloyd at 09:18 CST, June 2nd, 2094.

Look at it wigg- -audio transcript ends-

Hope you've enjoyed this little peek into Kat's life and the world of White Sky! I'll tag @sam-glade, @sergeantnarwhalwrites, @kaatiba, @winterandwords and @flock-from-the-void, as well as any open tag to any writeblr who fancies a go!

hi yes sO !! im broken. devastated. sobbing tears. hating MY life.

why? bc uNUSUAL LOVE ARTEM IS NOT REAL AND ONLY EXISTS THROUGH MY SCREEN [insert !! emoji]

this card .

THIS CARD !!! has me on my knees and wishing i could spend money on games when it was out during sott :/

the moments where both of these cgs occur has me in a chokehold where i’m just a crying and sputtering mess bc words don’t exist. emotions are a lie. i don’t know what’s real anymore.

ik it’s out officially from the top-up event and stuff, but i enjoy this creator’s videos and tls (plus the audio is s-cn, which is what i use ;w;) so if u don’t have the card and would like to read/watch it, then u can use this link here ^^

i’ll be talking abt the card story & video call w/ pictures UTC so ignore for spoilers !!

"Never apologize when it's between you and I."

okay. do u WANT me to cry again? bc i can and will and already am just going back over the transcripts gdi.

the fact this is back when they first started out as partners.... and they had to . act as husband and wife . and celestine was coaching them on how to act like a married couple . mrs. wing .

...

dhmu i’m literally in an unrequited, one-sided pining trope with them . #real

[ in context for rosa trying on jewellery for their mission with the client ]

artem: give it a try, baby.

sir. sIR. AAAAAAAA [falls to the floor and never gets up] i personally don’t like the terms “babe” or “baby” but artem using it seems so out of place that it makes me love him for it bc of the script celestine probably made them recite 😭

artem: then might as well buy them all. it's rare that they all match you so well. [artem speaks as he signals the service assistant to take out the necklaces of other colors, then asked again.] // is there a matching earring with this necklace? [artem looked at the design of the earrings and nodded slightly, then swiped his card right away.]

rosa’s thoughts: we've only been shopping for an hour, and I'm already incapable to calculate the amount that artem has swiped.

literally in tears for the nth time. artem is loaded and doesn’t hesitate to swipe his card for her 😭 he even went past what he was originally supposed to spendhfjgl <///3

his lil pout :((( when rosa told him she was going to return all the stuff he bought since it was for an act :(((( sobbing :’((((

[The sales assistants from the accessory shops are still the best to handle, the staff from the shoes and clothing areas have all put on a very "understanding" expression with the assumptions that I have gotten pregnant... The staff have all earnestly exhorted Artem and I to come back for new items 10 months later, I can't wait to disappear right away...]

THIS IS WHAT THE SALES ASSISSTANTS THOUGHT WHEN THEY RETURNED THE JEWELLERY 😭😭 I CANT WITH THIS GAME </////3

darius: the seller was worried that he'd be in trouble, then found a bottle to pour water and gave it to Luo Luo, and lodged a police report. // thank goodness... [Darius looked at Artem that has his hair and face drenched, and sighed lightly.]

i’m so.... so..... sobs. it’s the fact he jumped in front of her so that he would get hit instead, when the chances of it actually being sulfuric acid was there. i hate him sm /affectionate bc he makes me cri w/ his self-sacrificing behaviour :brokenheart:

anywho moving onto the lighter moments bc i don’t have the heart to talk abt their lil moment bc that fucking broke me into tiny shards of sophie and i don’t want to relive that experience :D

sobbing. tears are being sobbed. i’m a clown. i live in a circus day in, day out. life has no meaning when mc put on this adorable plaster on artem’s injury. gonna cry again goodbye :’D

artem: why are you at this again? we are partners, when it’s between us, there’s no need to say sorry.

SCREAMS HES SOODJFFFFFFKFSNFSDL <333

aND THE WAY HE TRIED TO COVER UP THE FACT HE BOUGHT ROSA A GIFT (the pair of earrings she really wanted to buy on her own later on) BY SAYING HE AND CELESTINE AGREED TO AS COMPENSATION FOR THE SITUATION 😭😭😭 AND WHEN CELESTINE HAD TO PLAY ALONG AFTER ROSA RAN INTO HER OUTSIDE HIS OFFICE 🤧 stop he’s so ugHJDFJLF <//3

artem: even if it’s a tiniest probability, i will not let you face danger. don’t be afraid. // me? if it were for me, i would make the same choice all over again. i’d still make the same decision.

sophie, sniffling with tears running down her cheeks: i lov u TヘT

#tears of sophie ; not themis #actually banging my head on a door #this is so unfair of life to give me these men in a fictional means and not irl /lh #5 hours until anniv banners are out….#artem if u dont come home in 5 hours i will keep reading ur card stories and make u feel guilty for making me cry sm even tho its my fault

Art's experimental recording session, the beautiful starbucks parking lot pictured

transcript under the cut

Jack: i don’t like, godspeed

Art: yeah uh huh

Jack: fight for what is good and right, we will be looking out for you fifty percent of the time and 50% of the time we’ll be trying to make you lives miserable in ways we haven’t worked out yet

Dre: mmhmm!

Art: yeah and I'll be doing that on a real microphone and not a phone in a starbucks parking lot

Dre: awwww

Ali: giggles

Jack: why are you in a starbucks parking lot

Austin (overlapping): is Jess in the car with you? What's going on?

Art: no Jess had to go get Mable and Mable’s dog sitter lives where there's no cell service so she just dropped me in the parking lot and went to go get the dog

Austin: wait, are you in a car??

Skills and Digital Nomad

What kind of skills Digital Nomad needs?

Digital nomad skills! Is it countable? I have no clear idea. But digital nomad skills can be divided to two sets.

The first is your job, the one you will offer and get paid for, these are usually called the hard skills.

The second is a set of soft skills that you need to develop to be able to master and enjoy the digital nomad life, we will just call it soft skills.

If you like to know more about this, join with my Facebook page or Instagram. I continually post these types of content constantly.

The Hard Skills

As hard skills we can identify 6 categories of skills that you can offer remotely. Most of digital nomad jobs fall into those types of categories.

1. Writing

If you are good at writing, there are endless possibilities for what you can do as a nomad. Content creation, blogging, freelancing, copywriting, editing… are just some of the examples.

2. Creatives

Are you a Graphic designer? Video editor? Everyone needs media for their business and they need someone to provide these media. This someone can be you!

You can create promotional videos or edit videos for clients for example. Graphic design is very popular, designing logos is a great place to start. You can also become a vlogger or a youtuber with your video skills!

3. Marketing

Having a marketing mentality and skills is one of the best things you can have for a nomad journey. It’s a big umbrella that covers many job options underneath. Digital marketing, content marketing, SEO, advertising, strategy and social media marketing are just some of the examples.

4. Web/app development

One of the highest paying nomad job categories. In a world where everything is digital, skills like web design and development are highly in demand. Every business, every influencer and freelancer need a website or an app; businesses need e-shops and all of these are always on the look to hire a web developer/designer.

5. Assistance and consulting

Several businesses require virtual assistants to help them organize their work and appointments. You can also offer consultancy or coaching based on the skills or experience you already have. For example, a virtual accountant or a legal consultant or a life or fitness coach, are all jobs you can offer if you have the experience.

6. Languages Skill(Translating/Teaching)

You can teach languages online or offer translations, video or audio transcriptions online. Teaching English online is a very popular way of starting a digital nomad journey.

The Soft Skills

The truth is, it’s not enough to have only the job skills to become a digital nomad. There are several characteristics that you need to have to make your journey as digital nomad a successful one. Lets see 6 types of skills that will help you on your digital nomad journey.

1. Communication (Most Important)

Even if you are amazing at what you do, if you don’t know how to show and communicate that to your potential clients, these skills might go to waste.

Your work as a nomad will be mainly online, you need to know how to market yourself and your skills to close deals. Be clear, be persistent in your communication and honest about what you can offer and under what conditions.

2. Organization

As a digital nomad, you will be living out of your suitcase/backpack and moving from one place to another; if you are not organized, things that should be under control will totally spin out of it.

Find a system of organization you are comfortable with, for everything. From packing to priorities when travelling, budgeting and organizing your work, all of these are needed to ensure you have a good time and give your clients the best service.

3. Self-motivation

When you are travelling and the beautiful beach or mountain is calling you, but at the same time you have a deadline looming, who will motivate you? You! You need to motivate yourself to do the work on time, so that you can have the money to see and experience all that you want.

4. Flexibility

Life of a digital nomad is more unstable and has less elements you can control than the 9 to 5 job. You can lose clients, lose income sources or face unexpected obstacles while travelling. That’s why you need to be flexible and learn to adapt to changing situations while staying positive. Remembering why you are doing this and what you get to enjoy, will make it easier to go with the flow.

5. Calm

Life is full of stress, add to that the constant travel and you might think how do digital nomads not surrender to anxiety? The truth is, there is a lot of instability and stressors in the life of the nomad, as many things are not under control. However, this is part of the fun! You have to keep calm and deal with challenges as they come. Meditation, mindfulness, talking to a friend or self-care routines are all important ways of keeping a cool head.

6. Constant development

Digital nomadism is possible due to the availability of internet and technologies that keep developing, and you will need to develop with them. Keep learning and stay curious and updated.

your work has to go with the needs of the market. This is how you will be able to find clients who are willing to pay for your up-to-date skills.

AUTO-SYSTEMS; Bleeding Mark

Continuing with the black box shorts that are a small part of my Horizon Big Bang 2022 piece, When the Darkness Comes, because I think these soldiers’ stories deserve to be heard (even if I made them up).

Bleeding Mark Black Box Transcript:

CAPTAIN STRÖM: Restart engine four!

FIRST OFFICER ABARGIL: It's not responding, it's… no. No. Maintenance must have reactivated the auto-systems.

CAPTAIN STRÖM: What? Disengage them! Now! Hit the emergency purge!

FIRST OFFICER ABARGIL: It won't shut down. The Swarm's hacked us.

COCKPIT COMPUTER: Terrain, pull up. Terrain, pull up.

[inaudible]

Listen to the audio log on my photomode Twitter account here.

Preflight checks hadn't changed all that much since Enduring Victory ramped up. Whether it was a state-of-the-art, fifth-generation Razorwing, or a B-52H Stratofortress fresh off the museum floor, all gussied-up and ready to fly—a plane was still a plane.

And a list was a list.

Auxiliary fuel pump—OFF

Flight controls—Free and correct

Instruments and radios—Checked and set

Altimeter—Set

Directional Gyro—Set

Fuel gauges—Checked

Auto-systems—OFF

These were only a small handful of the dozens upon dozens of varying mechanisms, instruments, systems, and gear Todd and his crew were responsible for checking to ensure an aircraft was deemed safe and functional before it left the tarmac.

Todd prided himself on his service in the U.S. Air Force. As a veteran, he led his crew with the confidence and care that came with over forty years of knowledge and experience. He held himself and his team to a high standard, consistently providing stellar support and routine maintenance for each craft that entered and left his hangar.

Todd was a good mechanic. Better than good—he was one of the best.

But even Todd made mistakes.

Speech to text Model in client reviews using BigQuery ML

Best Speech To Text Models

The integrated speech-to-text feature of BigQuery ML provides an effective means of extracting insightful information from audio data. With this service, audio files like customer review calls are converted from audio to text so they can be analyzed on BigQuery’s powerful data platform. You can uncover consumer sentiment, spot reoccurring product problems, and learn more about your customers’ voices by fusing speech-to-text with BigQuery’s analytics features.

A deeper knowledge of consumer interactions across numerous channels is made possible by BigQuery ML speech-to-text, which converts audio data into actionable insights with potential benefits across sectors.

Speech to text feature

Moreover, BigQuery ML’s native speech-to-text feature may be used to utilize Gemini 1.0 Pro to obtain more insights and data formatting, including entity extraction and sentiment analysis, for text retrieved from audio recordings. Some application cases and their business worth for particular sectors are listed below:IndustryUse CasesBusiness PotentialRetail/E-commerceAnalyzing customer call recordings to identify common pain points, product preferences, and overall sentimentImproved product development by addressing issues mentioned in feedback Enhanced customer service through personalization and targeted assistance Enhanced marketing campaigns based on insights discovered in customer calls.HealthcareTranscribing patient-doctor interactions to automatically populate medical records, summarize diagnoses, and track treatment progressMore streamlined workflows for healthcare providers, reducing administrative burden Comprehensive patient records for better decision-making Potential identification of trends in patient concerns for research and improved careFinanceAnalyzing earnings calls and shareholder meetings to gauge market sentiment, identify potential risks, and extract key insightsSupport for more informed investment decisions Prompt identification of emerging trends or potential issues Proactive Risk Management strategiesMedia & EntertainmentTranscribing podcasts, interviews, and focus groups for content analysis and audience insightsEarlier identification of trending topics and themes for new content creation Understanding audience preferences for program development or advertising Accessibility improvements through automated closed-captioning

By utilizing sophisticated AI functionalities like BigQuery ML, you can leverage all the inherent governance features of BigQuery, including access control passthrough. This allows you to limit insights from client audio files according to row-level security settings on your BigQuery Object Table.

Are you prepared to extract insights from your audio data?

Let’s explore BigQuery’s speech-to-text capabilities:

Speech To Text models

Consider that you have a number of audio recordings of calls you’ve had from customers that are kept in a Google Cloud Storage bucket. These audio recordings can be automatically converted into readable text within BigQuery using the ML.TRANSCRIBE function, which is linked to a pre-trained speech-to-text model hosted on Google’s Vertex AI platform. Consider it as a specialist translator for audio information.

The location of your audio files (in your object table) and the speech-to-text model you want to use are specified to the ML.TRANSCRIBE method. The transcription process is then managed by it, making use of machine learning capabilities, and the text results are sent straight to BigQuery. This facilitates the analysis of corporate data in conjunction with consumer conversations.

Advantages of BigQuery ML’s speech-to-text capabilities:

Efficiency: Compared to manual transcribing, automated transcription saves a great deal of time and money. Scalability: BigQuery is perfect for companies that receive a lot of customer evaluations since it can manage massive amounts of audio data. Expense-effectiveness: Uses Google’s speech-to-text algorithms that have already been trained, saving costly third-party solutions. Actionable Insights: Offers insightful information that may be applied to enhance customer satisfaction and spur company expansion.

Together, let’s navigate the BigQuery procedure:

How to set up:

Choose your Google Cloud project, connect a payment account, and enable the required APIs before you begin (all instructions available here).

Make a recognizer. A recognizer is optional to construct and stores the speech recognition configuration.

Get a service account for the cloud resource connection by creating one; complete instructions are available here.

Follow these instructions to grant access to the service account.

Using the instructions provided, create a dataset containing the object table and the model.

Take a listen and save the audio files to Google Cloud Storage.

Here are five audio tracks that you can download.

Open Google Cloud Storage and create a bucket and folder inside of it.

Place the downloaded audio tracks in the “Follow-up Ideas” folder:

Utilising Gemini 1.0 Pro and BigQuery ML’s ML.generate_text function, take the text retrieved from the audio files and extract desired entity data (e.g., product names, stock prices) and format it in JSON.

Measure the sentiment analysis of the captured text using Gemini 1.0 Pro with BigQuery ML, then organize the good and negative sentiments into JSON.

Integrate verbatim and sentiment scores from customer feedback with the Customer Lifetime Total Value score or other pertinent customer data to observe the relationship between quantitative and qualitative data.

Create embeddings over the text that has been extracted, and then utilize vector search to look for certain information in the audio recordings.

Obtaining client feedback is now simpler than ever in the digital era. But sorting through a tone of audio reviews can be a difficult undertaking. Here’s where BigQuery ML’s speech-to-text functionality shines, providing an effective means of revealing the insightful information concealed in your customers’ audio data.

This is how speech-to-text in BigQuery ML can change customer feedback:

Upload your audio review files to Google Cloud Storage for effortless transcription. With the speech-to-text feature of BigQuery ML’s, users can save numerous hours of human labor by having the audio automatically transcribed into text.

Unlocking Hidden Gems: Users can take advantage of BigQuery’s robust analytics features once the audio has been translated to text.

Assess feedback sentiment, look for reoccurring themes, and group it into categories to learn more about customer satisfaction levels and potential areas for development.

Practical insights: Anyone may spot trends and patterns in client feedback by looking at the transcription of the text. In the end, this serves to enhance the client experience by helping them to priorities problems and effectively resolve concerns.

Data Preparation: Use a Cloud Storage bucket to upload the sound review files (such as.mp3 or.wav).

Speech-to-Text Transcription: To connect to a pre-trained speech-to-text model stored on Vertex AI, use the ML.TRANSCRIBE function in a BigQuery script. This function converts the audio automatically into text and saves it in a BigQuery table.

Analysis of Data: Use the data analysis tools that BigQuery comes with to look through the transcribed text.

One may: Examine sentiment Determine whether the reviews are neutral, positive, or negative.

Take out the terms and phrases: Find out what subjects and themes clients frequently bring up.

Sort and classify comments: Sort the reviews according to a particular product, feature, or problem for more focused study.

Action and Improvement: In light of your study, take appropriate measures to resolve client complaints, enhance the quality of your offering, and raise total client satisfaction.

In summary

The speech-to-text function of BigQuery ML’s provides a strong and affordable means of extracting the insights from the audio evaluations left by your customers. One may learn more about your consumers and take steps to enhance their experience by turning audio into text and using BigQuery’s analytics features.
