Vegetable farm located in Todke, Nepal. Despite abundant water resources, access to water supply remains difficult with Nepal’s mountainous terrain especially for people living in remote rural areas and irrigation on farms can be extremely difficult.

Skaros Rock is a large rock promontory on the Aegean island of Santorini. The formation was created through the volcanic activity (likely in an eruption dated to 68,000 B.C) of the nearby Santorini caldera, and has since been further shaped by erosion and earthquakes In a nautical context, the formation is referred to as Cape Skaros.
A prominent landmark, the elevated position of the rock made it a preferable location for defensive fortifications. The site was initially fortified in the early 13th century by the Byzantine Empire, which employed Venetian architect Giacomo Barozzi to construct a fortress around the promontory. The initial structure, known as "La Roka" ("Upper Castle" in Greek), was completed in 1207. Upon the fortress' completion, Barozzi was given control of Santorini by fellow Venetian Marco I Sanudo, who had recently coerced the Byzantines into surrendering their claim to the Aegean islands and had named himself Duke of Naxos. The settlement subsequently grew, with many homes, businesses, and further fortifications being built around the promontory. A church complex, the Chapel of Panagia Theoskepasti, was built at the base of the formation, as was a small harbor. By the time of the Venetian Republic's takeover of Santorini in 1336, the settlement consisted of over 200 homes and had several hundred inhabitants. As Skaros was the largest settlement on the island, the fortress became the de facto capitol of Venetian Santorini [Wikipedia.org]

Woman picks beans in her farm in Pattale Village, Nepal. Pattale Village provides amazing views of the mountains. Nepal’s mountainous terrain make it difficult for the villagers to have access to water for their basic needs and irrigation for their farms. The Decentralized Rural Infrastructure and Livelihood Project gave way to rural infrastructure, community involvement and support for livelihood restoration activities.

From 1954 until 1974, many American cities were ringed by a decentralized network of guided missiles intended to destroy incoming enemy aircraft and ICBMs. Named for the Greek goddess of victory, Nike missiles were equipped with either high explosive or "small" nuclear warheads (with up to a 40 kiloton yield). At the peak of the program there were over 200 Nike "batteries" in the Continental US (plus over a hundred more protecting strategic locations outside the US). Advances in ICBM technology, coupled with the ABM treaty, eventually put an end to the domestic Nike program, with most of the sites de-commissioned and quickly consumed by suburban sprawl. A few sites have been preserved, however, and I recently visited "SF88L" in Ft. Barry, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco in the Marin headlands. Click on the thumbnails for larger versions of the photos.
SF88L is now under the control of the National Park Service (so don't mess with them), and, thanks to a team of volunteers (many of whom are Nike veterans), is open for guided tours for a few hours each month (as of this writing, the first Sunday of the month, 12:30-3:30pm, but check the web sites below before heading out). See www.nikemissile.net/, www.nikemissile.org/, ed-thelen.org/, and www.atomictourist.com/nike.htm for details on the site and the history of the Nike program generally. Considering its proximity to San Francisco the area is surprisingly remote and rural. (To get there from the highway you go through a neat little single lane tunnel that alternates direction every five minutes.)
The site is a must-see for the Bay-area hacker tourist -- a visit richly repays the advance planning needed to accomodate its somewhat out-of-the-way location and limited schedule. It is remarkably well-preserved, with at least four full, JATO-equipped Nike missiles (un-fueled and sans warheads, we're repeatedly assured), two underground "magazines" with launch platforms, launch and radar control trailers, a radar station (originally a few miles away, line of site), and display cases with assorted artifacts.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
