While the top four states for solar employment remained the same as 2012, some states experienced significant shifts, with Florida, New York, North Carolina, and Texas all moving up in the rankings. The report provides state-level data on total solar jobs and rankings for 2013 and 2012 for the top 20 states.
Softer Solar Landings: Options to Avoid the Investment Tax Credit CliffGW Solar Institute
This document analyzes the potential impacts of allowing the 30% federal investment tax credit (ITC) for solar energy to expire at the end of 2016 as scheduled under current law. It finds that failure to extend the ITC could result in a 10% or greater increase in the cost of solar energy from 2016 to 2017, along with 42% fewer utility-scale solar installations and 15% fewer distributed solar installations in 2017. It considers several policy options Congress could pursue to mitigate these impacts, recommending a two-year extension of the current ITC levels followed by a gradual phase-out as solar and other technologies reach full market maturity and scale.
The document proposes hiring a Procurement Officer for Daleel Petroleum's field operations to ensure a steady supply of spare parts and materials.

This document explores sustainable funding models for solar workforce training programs as public funding decreases. It notes rapid growth in the solar industry and jobs, but limited and declining public funding for associated training. It proposes three new funding concepts: 1) Public-private partnerships to jointly fund training; 2) Revolving loan funds for trainees that are repaid after employment; and 3) Crowdsourcing training funding from industry. The document aims to facilitate a transition from public to private funding that maximizes efficient allocation of funds to training providers.

The solar industry has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, with solar electric installations increasing 73% since 2000. The U.S. solar industry is now a $6 billion industry with 300% revenue growth over the past four years. However, the industry faces challenges from political attacks on solar programs and incentives as well as expiring subsidies. Efforts are needed to stabilize market conditions through public education and combating misinformation campaigns against solar energy.
The document is a report analyzing the solar workforce in Minnesota in 2013. It finds that Minnesota had 864 solar workers in 2013 and has steadily increased its solar capacity over the past decade to 16.2 megawatts currently. Recent policy changes in Minnesota, including a solar electricity standard requiring utilities to source 1.5% of retail sales from solar by 2020, are expected to drive rapid growth in the state's solar market and significant increases in solar jobs over the next several years. The report provides a baseline of current solar employment to measure this expected future growth.
For the first time, the significant contributions of military veterans to the solar industry have been documented in a joint report from The Solar Foundation and Operation Free, Veterans in Solar: Securing America’s Energy Future.

Solar rooftop opportunities and challengesJay Ranvir
India has high potential for solar energy generation due to its abundant solar irradiation. The government has set a target of 100 GW of solar generation capacity by 2022, including 40 GW from rooftop solar projects. Rooftop solar offers advantages like reduced transmission losses and land requirements. However, the high upfront cost and technical challenges have limited rooftop solar installations so far. States have introduced policies to promote rooftop solar through incentives and net-metering, but further measures are needed to achieve large-scale adoption.
The document summarizes India's Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission, which aims to promote solar power in India. The mission has set targets to install solar collectors, off-grid applications, and grid-connected solar power. It provides subsidies and sets feed-in tariffs to encourage solar development.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

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.

3. Uttar Pradesh Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant Policy, 2014
Preamble
The State of Uttar Pradesh is among the top consumers of electricity per annum. With the depleting
coal reserves and inadequate supply of other fuel, all possible viable options for the generation of the
