This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

There is no shortage of ex-
citement in the Fall River
Business Parks including the
Fall River Industrial Park,
Fall River Commerce Park
and the Life Science and
Technology Park at Fall Riv-
er. Each of these parks are
home to at least one expan-
sion or new construction pro-
ject.
In the Life Science and Tech-
nology Park at Fall River the
much anticipated Amazon
project is underway. Located
on 75+ acres of land, this 1
million s/f distribution facility
is expected to be complete in
the fall of 2016 and bring
1,000+ employment
opportunities to the City of
Fall River.
In the Fall River Commerce
Park, Millstone Medical
Outsourcing recently com-
pleted an expansion of their
headquarters. Millstone
Medical Outsourcing con-
ducts inspection, sterile and
non-sterile packaging, and
instrument recycling. This
expansion will double pro-
duction capacity and allow
the company to meet more of
its customers’ post manufac-
turing needs. In addition, the
expansion will bring 50 new
employment opportunities

phase expansion of 40,000

years.
Last, but certainly not least
the Fall River business
parks will see improve-
ments in the water system
thanks to two major pro-
jects. First, a new water
tank has been constructed
in the Fall River Industrial
Park to replace the under-
performing tank that stood
in the same location. The
new tank will increase wa-
ter pressure and service to
all business park tenants.
The water tank cost $3.3
million to build.
In addition, the City of Fall
River received a $969,100
MassWorks Infrastructure
Program Grant for the
Commerce Drive Water
Main Loop Project.

to the facility which al-
ready employs 300 peo-
ple.
In the Fall River Industrial
Park, Blount Fine Foods is
currently adding a 50,000
s/f addition to their exist-
ing facility, which is also
the company’s headquar-
ters. Blount, which dis-
tributes soup products and
prepared foods to restau-
rants and retailers
throughout the nation is
investing $10 million to
expand their facility and
increase capacity as de-
mand for their products
rapidly increases. This
expansion will bring 75
new permanent employ-
ment opportunities and 25
new seasonal employment
opportunities to the com-
pany. There is also the
potential for a second
The Commerce Drive Wa-
ter Main Loop Project will
expand water infrastructure
from Commerce Park into
the Life Science and Tech-
nology Park.
Currently, the water main in
Commerce Drive ends in
the vicinity of Millstone
Medical Outsourcing, ap-
proximately 3,200 feet from
the new booster pump sta-
tion. The existing water
main in Innovation Way
ends at the isolation valve
at the Fall River/Freetown
line, approximately 8,000
feet from the new water
storage tank. Installing a
new water main to close
this loop will be beneficial
not only to the City’s exist-
ing water system customers,
but also to future customers
and tenants of the parks.
Kenneth Fiola, Jr., Execu-
tive Vice President of the
Fall River Office of Eco-
nomic Development is
pleased with all the devel-
opment, both private and
public, taking place in Fall
River’s business parks not-
ing, “There is a great deal
of investment happening in
the Fall River business
parks both on the public
and private levels. This
shows the City’s commit-
ment to creating a business
friendly environment as
well as private companies’
commitment to stay and
grow in Fall River. With
these development projects
Fall River will be better
able to attract and retain the
private investment and jobs
needed to promote the local
and regional economy.”

Amazon has surpassed
Walmart as the world’s
biggest retailer by mar-
ket value after a surprise
second quarter profit
sent the company’s stock
into record territory.
The Seattle-based com-
pany is valued at about
$272 billion whereas
Walmart has a $233.2
billion market capitaliza-
tion.
Similarly, Amazon has
recently posted a profit
after many months of
losses. One key attribute
being acknowledged for
the company’s profita-
bility is Amazon Prime.
Amazon Prime offers
members free two-day
shipping, access to un-
limited music, TV shows
and movies, and a host
of free ebooks and
other special deals. Prime
membership increased
53% last year alone.
Amazon beat Wall Street’s
expectations with $23.18
billion in revenue and prof-
it of $92 million, or 19
cents per share, in its sec-
ond quarter earnings re-
port. Revenue was up 20%
from the same quarter last
year. Analysts had ex-
pected Amazon to report a
loss of 14 cents on reve-
nues of $22.4 billion.
Revenue in the Amazon
Web Services cloud divi-
sion rose to $1.8 billion, up
81% from a year ago. Op-
erating profit grew by
more than 400 percent,
from $77 million to $391
million.
Before selling his highly suc-
cessful record company, US
Records, Daniel Gittelman
was a significant force in the
entertainment world as an
agent and concert producer
who worked with the likes of
Whitney Houston and Dionne
Warwick.
Gittelman was born in Brook-
lyn in 1924 to Sophie and
Rubin Gittelman, but lived in
the Fall River area for most
of his life. Gittelman married
Sheila Kausman and had two
children.
Daniel Gittelman is best
known for managing the ear-
ly career of legend Whitney
Houston. Gittelman eventu-
ally turned the starlette over
to Clive Davis of Columbia
Records, but continued to
manage the business end of
her career until the movie hit,
The Bodyguard, was released
in 1992. At that time
Houston’s father, John Hou-
ston, became her manager.
John Houston offered the
position back to Gittelman
less than a year later, howev-
er, it did not work out.
Gittelman founded US Rec-
ords in 1958 and co-owned
the Music Box, a retail store,
in downtown Fall River. US
Records employed hundreds
of people for years.
Gittelman also maintained an
office on the third floor of
Ten North Main Street,
which looked like a Las Ve-
gas suite complete with gold
and platinum record albums
adorning the walls. Gittel-
man is no longer in the busi-
ness and resides in Rhode
Island.
