Marcus Segal ZYNGA
This document provides lessons and advice for starting a new business or startup. It discusses raising money, hiring great teams, and time management. Some key points:
- Raising money is challenging - most VC funds only 6 out of 1,000 plans and 60% of funded startups fail or are acquired.
- When raising money, have a clear vision and concise plan. Don't be desperate and it's worth waiting for the right investor.
- Hiring is critical - seek a mix of generalists and specialists. Have senior leaders interview and avoid inflated titles.
- Time management is important for entrepreneurs. Balance "either/or" thinking and launch when ready.
Organizational Culture
The document discusses organizational culture and why it is important. It notes that in one study of 20,000 new hires, 46% failed within 18 months, and 89% of those failures were due to attitudinal reasons rather than lack of skills. Understanding an organization's culture through its social networks, cultural symbols, and work environment can help ensure new hires have the right attitudes that match the unique culture. The document provides tips for observing a company's culture and questions to ask to better understand it.

Culture vs Creative
Why Culture Can Be More Important Than Your Creative.
There comes a point in most creative firms where the work that your company is producing is credible enough that it speaks for itself; no one questions that the firm is talented and capable of handling most projects. In these periods of a company's creative development, the measure for whether or not a client wants to work with you is no longer predicated on how well you design—the decision becomes predicated on whether or not the firm is a "cultural fit." Rule29's, Justin Ahrens, explores why a company's culture is potentially the most important (and most elusive) element for success in the design (or any) industry and how to go about fostering the kind of company culture that employees want to be a part of and that clients want to work with.

Ivory Madison - 2012 Lean Startup Conference
The document discusses the dangers of relying on "vanity metrics" and superficial numbers rather than actionable metrics that truly measure business success. It warns that vanity blinds companies to problems, wastes energy on appearances, and promotes dishonesty.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.
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.

PUBLIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (PFMS) and DBT - EXPLANATION
Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
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.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteUniversity of North Carolina at Charlotte
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.
