This was a presentation for an anthropological theory class. The article is truly interesting, albeit repetitive. It is just a general, bare bones, of what the article was all about.
This document outlines 17 laws of teamwork for building highly effective teams. Some of the key laws include: 1) No one can achieve greatness alone and teams are stronger together. 2) The team's goal is more important than any individual role. 3) Every team member has an important niche. 4) Teamwork is essential for overcoming greater challenges. 5) A single weak link can undermine the whole team.
This document discusses BitBucket and Mercurial. It provides an overview of BitBucket's features like social networking integration, wikis, and issue tracking. Mercurial is introduced as a distributed version control system that BitBucket supports for source code hosting. The document explains how to use BitBucket and Mercurial together through actions like cloning repositories, committing changes, and pushing/pulling updates.
This document summarizes the findings of a survey conducted by SNV Netherlands Development Organisation and the Inter-American Development Bank on how private sector firms in Latin America and the Caribbean engage low-income majority markets. The survey interviewed over 500 firms across 13 countries and 4 sectors (financial services, agriculture, manufacturing, wholesale/retail). Key findings include:
- Many firms see the poor as economic actors and potential customers/suppliers rather than just recipients of aid. They view interacting with low-income communities as important for business growth.
- Firms engage majority markets through inclusive business models that improve livelihoods and increase incomes while also generating business growth. Motivations include accessing new markets and remaining competitive.
The Vietnam Business Challenge Fund (VBCF) supported 21 private sector projects between 2012-2015 using innovative business models that created both social impact and commercial benefits. The projects addressed challenges in agriculture, low carbon growth, and infrastructure/basic services. In total, VBCF invested over $5 million and the businesses generated over $230 million in sales from these inclusive business models. The projects demonstrated positive results in areas like employment, incomes, and access to goods/services for low-income people while also achieving financial sustainability. The overall evaluation found that VBCF was successful in its goal of supporting scalable, commercially viable inclusive businesses.

This document provides a market scoping study for establishing an Inclusive Business Private Equity Fund in Vietnam. Some key findings of the study include:
1) Vietnam has experienced strong economic growth but poverty remains an issue, with over 40% of the population living on less than $2 per day. Inclusive business models could help address this.
2) The study assessed the need, enabling environment, private sector interest, and state of private equity in Vietnam. It found that an inclusive business fund is feasible due to factors like economic growth, underserved demand, a viable pipeline of interested companies, and a supportive policy environment.
3) Over 90% of companies interviewed expressed preliminary interest in financing for inclusive business models, with
This document summarizes Yoshiki Shibukawa's presentation on building multi-platform GUI applications with Go. Shibukawa explored several approaches: wrapping existing toolkits, creating a new toolkit in Go, and a hybrid C++/Go approach. While wrapping toolkits is intuitive, maintaining wrappers is difficult. Creating a new toolkit in Go allows perfect integration but supporting multiple platforms is challenging. The hybrid approach uses C++ for GUI with Go handling logic, which provides better integration but requires managing inter-process communication. Shibukawa concluded more work is needed to find the best solution and that GUI programming remains difficult, potentially requiring C++ involvement.
