Jean Claude (R) is pictured selling some Kabode Orange Flesh Sweet Potato vines to a neighbour in rural Rwanda. Jean-Claude is a DVM, or a Decentralised Vine Multiplier in rural Rwanda. " I multiply orange-fleshed sweeetpotato quality planting seed, I sell it to local people and other people who can then sell it as part of their livelihoods." Having local vine mulitpliers is important to comunities, like Jean Claude's, as they no longer have to travel great distanced to purchase quality OFSP vine. "Previously, farmers used to grow sweetpotato varieties that were not productive and prone to diseases. But now, with OFSP DVMs, they multiply good quality planting seed free from disease, with high yields," he says. Jean Claude is also able to offer casual work to his neighbors, who also benefit from this versatile crop.

A Decentralized application runs on a peer-to-peer (P2P) blockchain network rather than on a single computer. DApps are both stored and executed on a blockchain system commonly using Ethereum. The DApps Development Company in India makes it more transparent and decentralized. Decentralized applications (DApps) are smart contract-powered digital applications or programs that run on blockchains rather than centralized servers.

SCIENCE & TECH SPOTLIGHT: COVID-19 Testing
Decentralized testing, including testing at the point-of-care, reduces the time to obtain test results but can have limited throughput and other challenges. Centralized testing can have higher throughput, but may take longer to provide test results.

In 2000, Peru’s government formalised Brazil nut harvesting under a system of concessions, where each producer, or castañero, has the right to collect nuts in a particular patch of forest. They can also remove a certain amount of wood per year, but some extract more than their quota.

The Internet era has seen the rise of the ultimate grass roots citizen watchdog group; a totally decentralized unorganized group of anonymous people called "Anonymous"
The group developed online to engage in online dissent.
There are no leaders and anyone can self identify as "Anonymous" because the totally non-hierachical organization means whatever anyone who decides they are part of it says it does. For the most part, "Anonymous" is dedicated to positive societal change, although what that might mean is in the eye of the beholder. The United States Government has engaged in prosecutorial over-reach in its persecutorial prosecutions of individuals who have admitted participation in the group. Currently the young American journalist Barrett Brown is incarcerated because he was perceived to be the Anonymous spokesman.
"Anonymous" can be anyone from the peaceful protesters attending our Kitchener-Waterloo Stop Bill C-51 Day of Action to the Internet troll who tried to bully me (and threaten) me on g+ the other day (before I blocked it)

Grid supply in many developing countries is struggling to keep up with demand, resulting in unreliable and inadequate electricity service. Innovative solutions like decentralized renewable energy and energy efficiency can be integrated into traditional grid services to help solve the problem. Open, granular, and credible data on the quality of supply are key to catalyzing discussion about what actions can be taken, who will benefit from them, and how results of investments can be monitored.
The goal of this session is to share experiences with collecting data on the quality of supply and improving access to electricity along multiple dimensions.

The conference „Digital Backyards Japan“ has been initiated by smal.jp and berlinergazette.de. It took place during three days of January 2013 (10th-12th) in northern Japan at the Sapporo Media Arts Lab. The aim was to explore future forms of networking in the field of knowledge production.
The awareness towards the digital monopolism of companies based in Silicon valley is growing all over the world. Also in Japan. But what are alternatives to Google and Facebook? The conference „Digital Backyards Japan“ claims: The answer can not be yet another internet giant of Japanese origin to rival Google and Facebook. A real alternative would be to empower diversity.
The resources for alternatives to an increasingly centralized internet landscape lie dormant in Japan's diversity itself: tinker garages, corporate hotbeds, grassroots hubs, institutional labs, hacker bedrooms, editorial outposts etc. In those digital backyards various stakeholders in the field of knowledge production have been pursuing their innovative work over the last decades. However its potential has not been exhausted yet.
What can be done about this? The conference invited open minded bloggers, entrepreneurs, researchers, cultural workers, journalists and programmers to explore synergies between their work. Here they discussed: Why do we network in the first place? What do we see as emerging trends? What are up and coming web services? What is the potential of decentralized strategies?
The motivation of the conference is to think and network beyond the given (e.g. infrastructures) and the dominant (e.g. cultures). Above all it is about exploring dormant potentials: How can Japan's digital backyards catalyse networking cultures in a sustainable way? How can they revitalize a country in deep crisis? And how can they help to connect Japan anew with world society?
„Digital Backyards Japan“ was a kick off event for more meetings in Japan/Asia and a follow up of a Berlin summit in October 2012. The spontaneous proliferation of the conference enables a fruitful process of cross-regional learning from: Insights from the debates in Europe are shared in Japan/Asia and vice versa.

Women learning computer skills at the vocational training and rehabilitation Center in Haret Hreik. UNDP supported its establishment in partnership with the Swedish government in 2011 together with the Municipality of Haret Hreik. The primary objective of the training center is to alleviate unemployment and generate better income for the population of Beirut Southern Suburbs, a densely populated region comprising nearly 30% of the entire Lebanese population and confronting major socioeconomic challenges , the most adverse being unemployment and lack of job opportunities.
“Some 1,484 beneficiaries have received training since the centre was opened, of whom the majority are women,” said the center’s director Ali Mustafa. The center holds classes for women in agro-food processing, cooking, IT skills, crafts, and beauty, among other subjects, and there are other courses on electric installations and mobile maintenance that are tailored specifically for men. Each of these sixty-hour courses lasts for nearly three months.
