Rivlin explained the president s role in the aftermath of the elections, saying that in order to serve the public faithfully, the president must initiate the process of forming a government in as rapid and as transparent a manner as possible.This involves consulting with representatives of each Knesset faction.For this reason, he said, he had not waited to be presented with the official results of the election but had asked Central Elections Committee chairman Judge Salim Joubran whether he could hold consultations in advance, and had received Joubran s blessing.Against a background of security and social challenges coupled with the critical need to approve a budget, there is a vital need to act and to swear in a new government as quickly as possible, said Rivlin, who called on all elected legislators and their leaders to act responsibly to enable a government to be formed.Rivlin consistently referred to the tense and stormy election campaigns in which mutual hostility between rival parties was rampant, and emphasized the importance of reconciliation and the beginning of a healing process within society.A lawyer by profession, who has many times commented on Israel s lack of a constitution, Rivlin said that the law regarding the president s duty in appointing a member of Knesset to form a new government must be amended. The present wording is not sufficiently clear, he said, which led many journalists who report on politics to make the mistake of thinking that the leader of the largest faction would automatically be asked to form the next government.This is not case, said Rivlin, who added that he is acting in the spirit of the law, which calls for the president to appoint the MK considered to be the most likely person to be able to form a government, regardless of the size of the faction that person represents.Rivlin will make his decision known either on Wednesday night or on Thursday morning.It is obvious that whoever he tasks will require an extension on the 28-day period set down in law, as the end of that period coincides with Independence Day. The law allows for a 14-day extension, and if there is no government in that period of time, the president must select another candidate.When Bayit Yehudi emerged from the meeting with Rivlin, Construction Minister Uri Ariel was asked about rumors of a split in the party if it failed to get agreement on the conditions it was laying down for joining the coalition. Ariel insisted that the party is more united than ever, and will be in the next government.MK Ayelet Shaked, who headed the Bayit Yehudi delegation, said that she hopes that Netanyahu will allocate portfolios that will be consistent with her party s ideology, as for instance the development of the Negev and the Galilee.She also hopes that Netanyahu will keep his promise to establish a strong and stable government. The expression strong and stable uttered by Rivlin in his individual greetings to the factions found a frequent echo from the politicians in their conversations with him and their subsequent addresses to the media. Another oft-repeated expression was the people have spoken. In greeting the Shas delegation headed by MK Yitzhak Cohen, Rivlin, noting the tense and stormy nature of the election campaigns and the vitriol and hostility that emanated from opposing sides, said: We have to find a way in which we can all work together in harmony on all levels. He told each faction that all the challenges confronting Israel in every area obligate us to form a government without delay. Cohen said that Netanyahu is aware of Shas s condition for joining the coalition. Rivlin sought to clarify whether the stated condition meant that Shas would not join the coalition under other circumstances and whether he should invite the faction to return on Wednesday, before Joubran presents him with the official election results on Wednesday evening.Cohen clarified that the nomination of Netanyahu remains solid.

Still, history indicates the Ohio primary will be a dud. When legislators in 1999 shifted the state s presidential primary from May to March, they hoped to create a stronger role for the state, but it didn t work as the trend to a front-loaded primary system continued. There have been some interesting moments, such as U.S. Sen. John McCain s unsuccessful challenge to George W. Bush in 2000 and Hillary Clinton s win over Barack Obama in Ohio in 2008. The trouble these days is that there is so much money pouring into what is still a front-loaded system that the circus-like atmosphere currently surrounding the race for the GOP nomination could be over before Ohio holds its primary. <a href=http://www.moncleroutlet.net.co/>http://www.moncleroutlet.net.co</a> Char: C Siswith 拢588; AS Chapman 拢450.

Some of them say they are annotations. Some say they are narrations. In each one, someone is saying that it is an annotation or a narration. And what it is an annotation or a narration of. The first SWeeT here can be read as: the person "Anon" says that an object at the URL http://folkhampi.openrun.net/mural-annotation/ has been annotated as "anklet". Here "annotate" is a type whose definition can be found on the site somewhere (typically at site/type/annotate). The type specific attributes (in this case that it is an anklet with certain properties) of this SWeeT can be interpreted by looking up the type information.

Similarly the second SWeeT says it is a narration of an object (could be a paragraph) at http://dev2013.org

narrations at http://dev2013.org

 +
These SWeeTs have an object and a type they refer to. This is not trivial for any individual to key in. These SWeeTs are typically also assisted by Browser apps that attend to what a user says and generate an appropriate SWeeT.
 +
For example, one can see that [http://y.a11y.in/web/?foruri=http%3A%2F%2Fdev2013.org%2F dev2013.org] allows one to re-narrate and object and on publishing these alternative narratives, the SWeeTs are generated (see http://y.a11y.in/web/feeds)

'''''Find a good shepherd. Follow the black Sheep.'''''
 +
 
 +
Follow the Sheep project involves following shepherds and their (mostly black) sheep,
 +
in the Deccan areas of Karnataka and Andra Pradesh. Shepherds are non-literate in general. And
 +
the nomadic shepherds travel about 400 kms over a range of 6 to 8 months with their herds. They
 +
are in small groups of 3-8 family members. Every few days they migrate to another location that
 +
can feed their sheep. When in a location, they are often in a farmers land after having negotiated
 +
a trade for feed in return to the sheep manure (night droppings). During the day they can graze
 +
part of the farm (as per negotiation) and take the sheep to other grazing areas which are often
 +
common property reserves, and to areas where there is a water body. Most shepherds have mobile
 +
phones and horses or donkeys (and camels as we go north). They use these phones, when there is
 +
signal, to talk to people back home, and sometimes to coordinate shepherding activity.
 +
 
 +
The goals of the project
 +
 
 +
* work with them to envision and deploy smart phone applications for their needs
 +
* collect track information (possibly for nomadic rights)
 +
* land use information (possibly for smarter apps in future)

Alipi - Re-narration Web.

Over 10% of India (120 million) have accessed Internet by December 2011 where 90% of these 10% are from urban areas [iamai]. Mobile penetration, however, has reached 900 million Indians in 10 years. Due to the proliferation of mobile devices in remote areas [iamai] and the smart phones becoming affordable [aakash], Internet access by rural agricultural and pastoral nomads is becoming a reality. While Internet accessibility groups have developed authoring guidelines and standards for "disabled" Internet users, they do assume that such a user is a (considerably) literate person. What would it be to provision Internet accessibility to non-literates?

We explore re-narration as a basis for ”designing Internet for inclusion.” In the renarration model, any web page or even an element of it can be /re-narrated/, to make it accessible to a target audience of users in a completely decentralized way. The notion of re-narration is completely general. It could, for example, mean translating a page automatically to another language. Or it could mean creating a more accessible version of a technical document, even if it is in the same language by an expert for a layperson.

   See the dev2013.org program re-narrated to some Indian language contexts. 

Or see http://mitan.in/bcp/raika. More examples at Alipi

Technically, Re-narration Web is effectively a social semantic web. The "alipi.us" (the non-literate us) can be seen as a third party service that is served by collecting the "narration" type semantic tweets on the Web. Such "tweets" are a result of someone re-narrating some content for a specific community context.

Similarly the second SWeeT says it is a narration of an object (could be a paragraph) at http://dev2013.org To see how one can develop a Web application using these "narrate" SWeeTs, visit http://alipi.us and look at the narrations at http://dev2013.org

These SWeeTs have an object and a type they refer to. This is not trivial for any individual to key in. These SWeeTs are typically also assisted by Browser apps that attend to what a user says and generate an appropriate SWeeT. For example, one can see that dev2013.org allows one to re-narrate and object and on publishing these alternative narratives, the SWeeTs are generated (see http://y.a11y.in/web/feeds)

We are experimenting with SWeeT Web in the context of IDH Knowledge Bank to link repositories authored and owned by various groups (see http://vijayanagara.in) that are associated.


Follow Sheep

Find a good shepherd. Follow the black Sheep.

Follow the Sheep project involves following shepherds and their (mostly black) sheep, in the Deccan areas of Karnataka and Andra Pradesh. Shepherds are non-literate in general. And the nomadic shepherds travel about 400 kms over a range of 6 to 8 months with their herds. They are in small groups of 3-8 family members. Every few days they migrate to another location that can feed their sheep. When in a location, they are often in a farmers land after having negotiated a trade for feed in return to the sheep manure (night droppings). During the day they can graze part of the farm (as per negotiation) and take the sheep to other grazing areas which are often common property reserves, and to areas where there is a water body. Most shepherds have mobile phones and horses or donkeys (and camels as we go north). They use these phones, when there is signal, to talk to people back home, and sometimes to coordinate shepherding activity.

The goals of the project

  • work with them to envision and deploy smart phone applications for their needs
  • collect track information (possibly for nomadic rights)
  • land use information (possibly for smarter apps in future)

Collaborating with Mitan and Socionity iiit-h.

Also see Follow the Sheep. If you are interested in following the sheep please register your self at http://mitan.in/followsheep and you will be sent a notification when a shepherd group comes near you. Also of interest is the idea of Bio-Cultural protocols for communities who live with animals and forests. Raika is a camel herders community. See what they say about how they live at http://mitan.in/bcp/raika and also see how [Alipi] helps in provisioning narratives of this document that is in English to other contexts.
