New Delhi, July 24 (IANS) President Pranab Mukherjee completes three years in office on Saturday, and to mark the occasion he will host a dinner for the union council of ministers and other dignitaries.
Two volumes of his selected speeches will also be released.
Besides, two books on Rashtrapati Bhavan will be also be released on the occasion.
"Abode under the Dome" and "Right of the Line: The President's Bodyguard (1773-2015)" will be released by Vice President Hamid Ansari and Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
The two volumes of selected speeches contain important speeches delivered by Mukherjee since he assumed office on July 25, 2012, as the 13th President of India.
The first volume includes 52 speeches and is divided into five sections: "The Nation", "Parliament and State Legislatures", "Judiciary and Constitutional Bodies", "Armed Forces", and "Eminent Personalities and Commemorative Events".
The second volume contains 102 speeches and is divided into three sections: "Education", "Banquet Speeches" and "Foreign Visits".
The two volumes are part of a four-volume collection of speeches soon to be published.
"Right of the Line: The President's Bodyguard (1773-2015)" traces their history and ethos from their origin in the 18th century as a trained body of soldiers who would escort and protect the governor-general of India to its modern day contemporaneous role comprising mainly of ceremonial duties, according to a Rashtrapati Bhavan statement.
"Abode under the Dome" is part of a series of books aimed at documenting the vibrant and rich legacy of Rashtrapati Bhavan to make the public informed about its historicity and contribution to India's democratic fabric. A product of extensive research, the book throws light on how Rashtrapati Bhavan spared no effort in caring for its guests and adhering to traditional Indian culture.
It also details the part played by staff members of Rashtrapati Bhavan's Guest Wing in making each and every honoured guest feel valued and at home. It captures information on these visits; how the world leaders were welcomed in India, their impressions about the nation and how their visits to India changed the way they and consequently the world looked at the country, said the statement.

wikiHow to Get a Tank in GTA V
Two Methods:Stealing a TankPurchasing a TankCommunity Q&A
The Rhino tank is a fantastic way to blow stuff up in GTA V and reach six stars. Locating a tank however, can be a difficult task if you don't know where to look. You have the option of stealing a tank, or purchasing a tank on the in-game Internet.
Stealing a Tank
1Locate Fort Zancudo. The military base can be found on the map to the west. The road leading to the fort can be found just off of Route 68. This road runs alongside the Zancudo River.[1]
- It is recommended that you be well equipped before entering the military base. Purchasing extra armor and ammo is a must.
- Using a fast vehicle when entering the base is a great way to quickly find a tank and avoid enemy fire.
2Drive around the base and locate a tank. Having a fast car comes in handy when looking for a tank. You don't want to waste any time when you are in the base. You will have to avoid enemy fire and vehicles.
3Drive up to the tank and quickly hijack it. Before the enemy tank has time to react, you must drive up as close as you can to it and then hijack it. If you give the tank too much time, it will be able to fire a shot at you.
- Use buildings and other structures to avoid tank fire. The tank shells cannot shoot through these obstacles, and they offer fantastic defense.
4Leave the base. There are bound to be other enemy tanks nearby, so getting out of the base and away from them as quickly as possible will ensure your tank stays alive. The most direct way to exit the base is to go the same way you used to enter it.
Purchasing a Tank
1Open your in-game phone. When buying anything in-game, you need to open your phone. You can do this by pressing the top arrow on the d-pad for PS3/PS4 and the Xbox 360/One. For PC you can press the upward arrow key or the center mouse button.
2Open the browser. The browser icon looks like a sphere and is located at the bottom row of apps. Once you open this the in-game browser will open up.
3Click on the tab named "Travel and Transport." This tab is one of the many categories available on the in-game Internet. In the row of five tabs located below the search bar, it is located as the fourth tab.
4Browse the Warstock Cache & Carry store for the Rhino tank. Scroll down until you locate the Warstock Cache & Carry store. The tank is priced at $3,000,000 in the story mode and $1,500,000 in the online mode.[2]
5Locate your newly bought tank. The tank can now be found at the Los Santos International Airport. If you are playing in the story mode, it is located at the hanger associated with the character you bought it with. If you are playing online, it will be located at the hanger you purchased.
- In order for the tank to spawn here, you will have to wait a couple hours for it to spawn in online mode and one in-game day in story mode.

Scarborough: Don't let Gingrich and 'the voices of hate' win
Republicans are going to be embarrassed at the way they've opposed a mosque — known as Cordoba House or Park51 — that's planned near Ground Zero, according to one conservative host.
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough told Republicans Monday that they should "speak out against Newt Gingrich and the voices of hate." While he was at it, Scarborough threatened to leave the GOP for a party "that actually believes in small government."
Last week, Gingrich compared supporters of the mosque to Nazis. Appearing on Fox & Friends, Gingrich said, "Nazis don't have the right to put up a sign next to the Holocaust museum in Washington."
Prior to that, Gingrich argued that the mosque shouldn't be built near Ground Zero until churches and synagogues are allowed in Saudi Arabia.
"This is demagoguery of the first order," Scarborough, a former Republican congressman, said Monday. "And people in the Republican Party need to separate themselves from these voices."
"And I talk to you, my Republican brethren," he said into the camera. "I don't know how much longer you'll be my brethren. I'll be honest. I'm looking for a conservative party that actually believes in small government and not engaging in Wilsonian wars but that's another discussion."
"I'm just talking, you know, as a friend," Scarborough continued. "I promise you this. You're going to be embarrassed. You're going to look back two, three, four years from now and this is going to be dark blot on your record if you don't speak out against New Gingrich and the voices of hate."
"This is an embarrassment and you need to speak out against it," he said.
Opponents of the mosque protested in lower Manhattan Sunday. Daisy Khan, the wife of the controversial imam backing the Islamic center, said Sunday that opposition was "like a metastasized anti-Semitism."
MSNBC's Willie Geist told Scarborough that the opposition is proof that anti-Muslim sentiment is worse now than after Sept. 11, 2001.
"It shows us that we are probably farther backward that we were maybe even nine years ago in our interfaith relations," said Geist.
This video is from MSNBC's Morning Joe, broadcast Aug. 23, 2010.

Dakota County: Juvenile crime numbers down
The number of criminal charges against juveniles declined in both Farmington and Rosemount from 2012 to 2013.
The local numbers were in line with the countywide trend. The number of juveniles charged with crimes in Dakota County fell from 1,498 in 2012 to 1,119 last year. The number of juvenile offenders — some of whom are charged with more than one offense — dropped from 134 to 111.
85 percent of the charges filed against juveniles last year in Dakota County were for misdemeanor-level offenses.
There were 1,968 juveniles charged with crimes in 2000 in Dakota County.
"With the exception of last year, we have seen a steady decrease in the number of juveniles charged with felonies each year in Dakota County, which is remarkable given our size and growth over the last decade," county attorney James Backstrom said. "I am proud of the work being done in our schools, law enforcement and community organizations and the partnerships we have developed to address these youth issues."
Roughly two thirds of the charges filed against juveniles last year in Farmington were for misdemeanor-level offenses. In Rosemount, all but 16 of the 77 charges filed were misdemeanors.
Disorderly conduct — a misdemeanor — was the most commonly-charged offense in both cities, with 16 instances in Farmington and 27 in Rosemount.
Among felony-level offenses, drug-related charges were most common in Farmington with three individuals charged with three offenses. In Rosemount, burglary charges were the most common with two individuals charged with two offenses.
Backstrom credited early-intervention efforts like peer court for some of the decline. The programs for first- or second-time offenders charged with non-violent offenses offer an alternative to court and jail time. Farmington High School recently became a peer court location.
"I believe the most effective thing we can do to reduce crime in America is to invest our time, resources and energy in our nation's children," Backstrom said. "We accomplish this with effective and appropriate early intervention efforts aimed at preventing crime before it occurs and intervening quickly when problems arise."

Natural Teeth Whiteners You May Not Have Heard Of
Little Known Natural Teeth Whitening Methods
As well as the more common natural teeth whiteners such as using lemons, baking soda, or hydrogen peroxide there are quite a few other methods available to you. In this article you will discover what they are, how they work and where you can obtain them.
The Babul tree is found in India and its twigs have been used since ancient Ayurveda times to brush and whiten the teeth. Babul contains tannin which is what works to make your teeth whiter.
The twigs of the Neem tree are also used to whiten and brush your teeth. Neem oil is an astringent and antiseptic so it removes bacteria and the brushing action is abrasive. As Neem twigs are hard to find in the western world you may be better off using a natural toothpaste that contains Neem oil or just purchasing some Neem oil. You can find Neem oil/ toothpaste online or at good health food stores.
Banyan roots are also used as tooth brushes and are known to whiten teeth through their astringent qualities.
Holy Basil
Holy Basil known and revered in India as Tulsi can help to whiten your teeth. Dried Holy Basil leaves can be powered and rubbed onto the teeth for effective teeth whitening. Holy Basil is good for your teeth because of its antibacterial, anti fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. You can buy a pot plant of Holy Basil to put on your patio. It tastes vaguely of cloves unlike the Thai basil or Italian basil you may be used to.
Here are two little known recipes for whitening your teeth according to ayurvedic principals.
Mix salt with dried rind of lime. Rub this onto your teeth and rinse off.
Grind 50 gms of keekar wood, roasted alum 20 gms and namak lahori 10 gms to make a powde. Mix with a little water and rub over your teeth.
Whatever method you use to whiten your teeth you should investigate these less common natural teeth whitening methods as they are less harmful and less abrasive to your teeth than some of the more common natural teeth whitening remedies.

OTTAWA - With the stroke of the governor general's pen, Conservative MP Dan Albas's bill to eliminate the federal ban on transporting wine across provincial borders became law Thursday.
Shirley-Anne George, with the Canadian Alliance of Wine Consumers, says the prohibition-era rule never made sense to her.
"Can you imagine somebody in France saying that a Parisian could not order a case of wine from Burgundy?" George said. "So why is it acceptable here?"
The bill is especially important for small wineries that want to sell directly to consumers nationally.
Still, with the exceptions of Alberta and Manitoba, most provincial liquor boards limit or ban bypassing them to ship in out-of-province wine and beer for personal use.
"They do have to make some slight tinkering to their provincial rules," Canadian Vintners Association president Dan Paszkowski said. "We're hopeful that they don't put up additional barriers."
The wine freedom bill cleared the Senate earlier this month, but almost didn't make it that far because of NDP stalling.
The NDP eventually supported the bill, calling the stall a mistake.

CLEVELAND -- Councilman Zack Reed thinks the city should be at the table in discussing the future of Chief Wahoo.
"Any time we see that logo, it's not a good thing," Reed said.
The banners around Progressive Field depicting the Tribe's star players include some with Chief Wahoo on their batting helmet or as a should patch on their jersey. Most have the "C" or "I" logos that the Indians are using more prominently.
Reed say the city must issue permits for banners over a sidewalk or right of way, and he believes that gives city leaders some leverage in the Wahoo debate.
He believes the Tribe should retire the chief.
"Native Americans believe it's offensive. That's all that really matters," he said.
Reed claims other council members share his views.
"I'd like it if the Indians would find a way to phase out the chief that is respectful to Native Americans and their loyal fans," Council President Kevin Kelley said.
Mayor Frank Jackson in the past has said if the chief is a problem for some people, it's a problem for him.
The Indians declined to comment for this story.

15 Great Denim Jackets for Men
Yohji Yamamoto Underlayer-Hem Jeans Jacket
Technically, this jacket isn't made of denim, but of a wool-linen blend manipulated to look like denim. It also trades plain brass buttons for more formal black ones. But this thing could not be sleeker. The extended poplin layer – that shirt-looking thing that sticks out of the bottom – provides more coverage and a sense of dressed-upedness that the other jackets on the list don't have. You get the sense that this would look just as appropriate at a formal dinner as it would at an art opening. [$1,650; barneys.com]

I am almost done with Dr. J's autobiography. It's been a fantastic read. I absolutely love learning more about NBA/ABA history. And if you enjoy audiobooks as much as I do, there's a huge bonus -- Dr. J. reads it himself.
Although Dr. J is considered an all-time great, it seems like the era that he played in hurts his legacy. As I mentioned recently, people consider Michael Jordan an all-time great because of the combination of his titles and his marketing. For Dr. J, sadly, both of these were more elusive. Dr. J's best years came when he played in the ABA, when no one was watching. And although more people watched in the NBA, most of his teams were just a step behind the juggernauts, like the Magic/Kareem Lakers and the Bird/McHale/Parish Celtics. With that in mind, here are some major "what ifs" in Dr. J's career.
What if Dr. J went to Atlanta?
Dr. J entered the ABA as an underclassman and went to the Virginia Squires. Like most ABA teams, they had money issues. Also, the agent that negotiated Julius' contract worked for the Squires. Dr. J decided to try to hop ship, and signed a contract with the Atlanta Hawks. This contract and the legal battle around it were intricate and confusing. In the end, Dr. J never played for the Hawks. But the Hawks won 46 games in 1973 without the doctor, who played a great year for the Squires. Atlanta fell in the first round of the playoffs to the Celtics and then fell into obscurity in the following seasons. Dr. J made a major jump in his third season and went on to the rule the ABA. Could Dr. J have turned the Hawks into a contender in the 70s?
What if Dr. J went to Milwaukee?
This is a much bigger question, because Dr. J already had both an ABA (the Squires) and NBA (the Hawks) contract. However, the already stocked Milwaukee Bucks had two first round picks. They gambled one on Dr. J. This was an interesting gamble -- a team that was just two years off an NBA title and had won 63 games the season before wanted to add Dr. J to the mix! This team had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in his prime and a still-productive Oscar Robertson. In 1973 this team went on to win 60 games and could have been the super team to end all super teams. Sadly it was not to be; legal battles ended up leaving Dr. J back on the Squires.
What if the Nets stay together after the merger?
In 1976 the Nets would upset the Denver Nuggets in the last ABA finals. While listening to Dr. J talk about the Nuggets being up 22 points in game 6, I almost threw my phone against the wall. The Nuggets were a superior team! Sadly, the doc had their number in the finals. But I digress.
Anyway, in Dr. J's words, the merger was more of a capitulation. The Nets had to pay the NBA millions to get in, pay the Knicks millions in territorial fees, and oh yeah, pay the Spirits TV revenue. The end result was they could not afford their star studded roster. The Nets lost Dr. J, Jim Eakins, and Brian Taylor and turned into a 22 win team.
Dr. J played great on the 76ers and took his team to the finals in his first year before losing to the Blazers, despite winning the first two games. The NBA was arguably at its weakest, with 50-win teams making the finals. This was just before the NBA became the collection of super teams dominating the finals (Larry and Magic entered the league three seasons later). Had the Nets kept their team together, they could have contended and perhaps won a title. Instead, Dr. J would go on to be the greatest 76er ever, make it to four finals, and the Nets would wallow in obscurity.
What if Barkley had been a Year Earlier?
The above scenarios were of course possible. This one is a complete hypothetical. In the star-studded 1984 draft, the 76ers picked up Charles Barkley, one of the greatest forwards ever. They had a team with Dr. J, Moses Malone, and Mo Cheeks. Dr. J was far removed from his prime, and Moses Malone was just exiting his, and his skills overlapped with Charles'. This caused the 76ers to foolishly trade Malone after two seasons. The 76ers managed to make it to the eastern conference finals once, and make the playoffs every year with the doctor and the round mound of rebound, but never won a title with the two of them. However, had these two played together in their prime? It might have been enough to keep around Moses Malone, and could have been another title team. The Boston Celtics managed to get KG, Allen, and Pierce together right before they left their primes. The 76ers almost did the same, but sadly just missed out.
Summing Up
It's always fun to look over a player's career and wonder "what if?" And in the already amazing career of Dr. J, it's even more fun thanks to the "wild west" days of the NBA and ABA, where there were many brushes with amazing alternate realities. Of course, the version that played out was pretty remarkable, so I really shouldn't complain!

The idea of farming is modernized through the app and translated into a mobile application to give adolescents insight into what it takes to maintain a farm. Advanced business and technical skills do not resonate with adolescents when they think of a farm, but in fact teaching agriculture literacy and risk management, especially via mobile, could spark interest of the field in young viewers.
?It?s important for young consumers to understand that food doesn?t just show up at the dinner table,? said Chris Grams, director of corporate communications at CME Group, Chicago. ?There is a farmer or rancher who produced that food and there is a lot of risk that has to be managed between their farm and the consumer?s plate.
?Our Risk Ranch app is a very important education tool because it taps into the pervasive nature of smartphones and provides kids with hours of entertainment and risk management education long after fair season ends. It?s a platform that will enable us to extend the reach of the physical game, which was played by more than 50,000 young people during the 2013 fair season.?
Virtual farming?
Risk Ranch is a gaming app for kids that allows users to maintain their own virtual farm and provides hurdles along the way, causing users to choose the best decisions to build a successful establishment.
Risk Ranch is a gaming app for kids that allows users to maintain their own virtual farm and provides hurdles along the way, causing users to choose the best decisions to build a successful establishment.
A game is played to earn coins while raising a steer over the course of four seasons, mimicking a similar timeline that a farmer would follow. Once the steer is full grown, the user takes the steer to a market to be sold.
Throughout the animal?s upbringing, the user will incur risks and use the coins to purchase futures in order to protect the investment in the animal that has been made.
Possible risks that users may come across can affect the well-being of the steer. Such are sickness, price variances of volatile energy, unexpected changes in weather and food safety concerns. For example, the user could hit a risk peg that indicates an increase of price of energy, therefore causing an increase in transportation costs, which could interfere with the overall profit made from the steer.
Another example is severe drought, which causes an increase in food prices.
The idea to execute an app came from an exceptional response to the physical version of the game that was available to attendees at the nationwide Commodity Carnival, which allows young fairgoers to learn about the risks and costs associated with producing and bringing animals to market.
In 2013, more than 50,000 youth took part in the experience, and Risk Ranch now gives those interested the ability to learn more via their phone anywhere at anytime.
The event takes place at 120 state and local fairs.
The app is available for free download on iOS and Android devices as well as on desktop for at-home users.
4-H and CME Group executives encourage users to share their thoughts of the app on social channels using hashtag #RiskRanch.
Slow moving, but surely
Executives within the agriculture industry and various exhibit directors have been slow to adopt mobile initiatives, but given the prevalence of mobile in today?s society, virtually any product or event can be revamped with mobile incorporations.
In 2009, the Georgia National Fair turned to mobile to build awareness among local residents and heighten their awareness of the event and its attractions.
The campaign received a 52 percent double opt-in. Ping Mobile and Cox Media worked together to create the campaign, which included Mobile optimized television spots meant to generate hype around the affair (see story).
Also in 2009 for about six months, natural poultry producer Springer Mountain Farms included promotional codes on product packaging, along with instructions for using the codes with a mobile phone to respond to offers.
Springer Mountain Farms tapped promotions transaction settlement provider Inmar and mobile marketing company Augme Mobile to deliver promotions to consumers' mobile phones. Consumers could send the codes via text message or scan a 2D bar code to receive instant rewards on their mobile phones (see story).
While text capabilities are still a primary use within marketing strategies, there are far more options via mobile that agriculture enthusiasts could utilize to better reach smartphone users.
Even though agriculture business deals mostly with physicality, initiatives to keep this knowledge known must involve mobile in order to most effectively connect with consumers.
?CME Group?s roots are in agriculture and our Risk Ranch app is a really unique way for us to reach the next generation of farmers and ranchers to teach them about the concept of risk in a fun way,? Mr. Grams said. ?The app is designed to help young people look at agriculture as a business, whether they aspire to be a farmer in the future or just have an interest in where their food comes from.
?Through our partnership with the National 4-H Council, we?re connecting directly with our nation?s future food producers, but our Risk Ranch app allows us to connect with even broader array of young people through their smartphones, tablets or a computers.?
Final Take?

World: Europe
Refugees flock to borders
Many refugees are having to sleep in the open
United Nations relief agencies are reporting a massive movement of refugees inside Kosovo, as the number leaving the province has come to a virtual standstill.
The UNHCR reports that a convoy of refugee vehicles more than 20 km long is heading south from the Kosovo capital, Pristina.
The internal movement comes amid fears that the Yugoslav authorities are forcibly preventing people from leaving the province.
But the outpouring has now been reduced to a trickle, and the Albanian border has been closed since Belgrade severed diplomatic relations.
(Click here for a map showing refugee movements)
A UNHC spokesman in Geneva said refugees were having to pay heavy bribes to Serb soldiers and border guards to get across.
Our correspondent in Albania, Jeremy Bowen, described the sudden stop in refugees crossing the border as "eerie and rather spooky".
Refugees on the Macedonian border near Blace say packed trains and buses were being turned back.
Hiding in mountains
The aid agencies say they have ordered an extra six million emergency food rations to cope with the expected refugee influx.
The World Food Programme says around 175,000 of the internally-displaced people inside Kosovo are travelling towards Montenegro, and 100,000 people are heading for Macedonia.
A spokeswoman in Albania said it was unclear where the rest were going, but they were probably trying to flee Serb tanks.
"They are heading towards the mountains, I think, to escape the tanks. I'm sure that some of those people will eventually wind up here in Albania," said Angela Walker.
Children suffer from malnutrition
Relief officials in northern Albania said the latest arrivals were in the worst condition they had seen, with children suffering from malnutrition.
Some refugees have told relief workers they had to bury children along the road who were simply too weak to make the journey. Others bear injuries they blame on Serb security forces.
The refugee agencies are also reporting a diarrhoea epidemic.
A spokeswoman for the UN children's agency says fewer than half of the Kosovo Albanians have been vaccinated, due to a widespread mistrust of the Yugoslav-run health authorities.

I love the international nature of your stories.
The characters come from all over the world, it's really important to the story as there are so many people involved in this mythology. I come from quite a quiet part of Southern England, which may be classed as somewhat ethnocentric in it's view of the world. I spent some of my childhood in Iran so was exposed to another culture at a very young age. I realised there were various ways of viewing and living in the world. My characters speak different languages, although this is translated to English for the benefit of the reader. (And for communication purposes..) For example, my main character Alexand was born in China, so her first language is Mandarin. Her mother, Inajda, is Russian, Anesidor is American, Juba was born in Somalia, Katherine's parents are Indian and French..etc… I feel it's so important to the flavour of EVERYTHING and makes for so many possible stories and challenges..I hope people can relate to them because they are real people from so many different backgrounds…

So poignant! I love how your stories all have such heart – and I'm a sucker for time travel stories when they're done well.
Thanks, Chantal, that Guild Master's General really knows how to create unease and chaos… "Run away from him, Abouna… run away, now!!!" I just wish we had the ability to time travel and teleport too… waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh
I'm in awe of this blog & the graphics. amazing.
Thank you, Stacy!

Thursday nights at Marana's Steak Out restaurant hopped.
It was $3 burger night - steaks for six bucks - and a band usually played. From 4 to 7 p.m., diners would could come and go, filling every high-top table and stool at the bar and spilling out onto the patio.
But beyond the bar, the 7,000-square-foot restaurant was often a barren space on Thursdays and other weeknights.
"The weekends were great, but to be honest ... we weren't able to make the Sunday through Thursday revenue we needed to stay open," said General Manager Michael Wystrach, who closed Steak Out at the end of business Sunday. "We built for the expectations, and they never materialized."
The modestly priced steakhouse at 3620 W. Tangerine Road had banked on residential and retail growth in Marana's Dove Mountain area to continue. Instead, growth in the area slowed, he said, and very few new businesses came into the adjacent shopping plaza, anchored by Fry's.
Wystrach said he ran different scenarios to try to save the restaurant but came up empty. The family decided last weekend to close on Sunday, and he notified the restaurant's 25 employees - most of them part-timers - on Monday morning.
"This is really sudden for all of us," he said Tuesday. "We weren't planning to shut. It just kind of came to a boiling point."
The four-year-old Marana restaurant was a sibling to the Sonoita Steak Out, which has been around more than 30 years. Wystrach, whose family owns both restaurants, said he had hoped to be around just as long in Marana.
"We really loved the area, and we loved the locals. We are definitely super-bummed to be ending this," he said. "We had plans to be there a a long, long time."
The Wystrach family broke ground on the multimillion-dollar restaurant in summer 2008. It opened in February 2009, just in time for that year's Accenture Match Play golf tournament at the Ritz Carlton.

Over the past year, Diaspora has been sending out invites to developers and, following that, to general users to come take a gander at their social networking site (it's still in Alpha so they haven't made it available to the general public yet). For those that haven't heard, Diaspora is a budding social network website that emphasizes users' complete control over their personal information. Yes, yes, cue the collective groan about having yet another social media forum to juggle, and Diaspora is well aware of that plight. However, they're hoping to distinguish themselves from other sites with the unique pitch that all of the information you post on the site is exclusively controlled and owned by you. You don't even have to use your real name (I certainly didn't). Consider this comparison of Diaspora with two other social media sites you may have heard of:
Google+" class="aligncenter" width="100%" />
The look and feel of the interface on Diaspora's homepage has a Facebook feel to it although there are no advertisements clearly leaching information from my recent Internet searches the way Facebook and Google do so, right away, I experience my first small delight. Elements of Google+ and even Twitter are also evident in the appearance:
Diaspora seems to be taking a Google+ lean with how they allow users to organize their newsfeed. You can group friends into Aspects, which resembles the Circles concept that's used in Google+ to group together similar friends and acquaintances. You can select which Aspect you want to read in your news stream. Additionally, you can exclude certain Aspects from your stream if you so please.
Moving onto the profile page, again the appearance resembles Facebook's interface the most although it looks like there is a lot of dead space around the page. Oh right, wait, I know why - that's because, again, there aren't any ads cluttering the margins or, for that matter, any force-fed friend suggestions for people I haven't thought about since eighth grade:
So what's the initial verdict?
I have no problem admitting that my biggest hesitation in using Facebook is the way my personal information is unwittingly harvested from me and then stuffed right back into my face as a smorgasbord of advertisements. I despise that strategy and it's why I have a very limited presence on Facebook insofar as real biographical information, pictures I'm tagged in, Fort Knox-level security settings, few of my actual interests, etc. In contrast, perhaps the most salient quality of Diaspora is their mission to be exclusively user-controlled. The entire website is based on an open-source code and developers can run their own Diaspora "pod" on their own server. Diaspora explains:
Diaspora is a software that can be installed on a server by someone that has the knowledge to do so. They in turn can allow people to register for an account on what they call their "pod". There are many of these pods already established across the internet with many users. You register for a free account on a pod and you can seamlessly connect with other users on other pods the same as if you were making someone a friend on other social networking sites. No matter which pod you are on, you are all using Diaspora. If you have the technical skills, you can even set up your own pod for your family and or friends. They can in turn connect to family and friends on your pod or even other pods with ease. Amazing, isn't it?
It basically sounds like Diaspora is gunning to establish themselves as the Linux of social media sites. I can get behind that.
As far as whether I need to use Diaspora at the moment is another issue. Perhaps unsurprising, the biggest limitation at the time is the lack of personal infrastructure in my social network on Diaspora. The people who are showing up in my newsfeed aren't my friends; they're people who have hashtagged the same interests as me on their profile. I just got my invite to join Diaspora yesterday after being on the waiting list since September of this year (I probably would've received my invite sooner had I donated money) but none of my IRL friends are on the site. This may be a great thing to you or it may be a horrible thing to you depending on your philosophy about having an online presence. Personally, I'm split on the issue. Given this dilemma, my first impression on Diaspora was mild confusion and lack of purpose, kind of like how I feel when I use Google+. I felt like a tourist in an unfamiliar town where I only spoke a few words of the indigenous language. I felt slightly homesick for my familiar lands of Twitter and Facebook. Alas, I still support Diaspora's user-centric mission and am not completely opposed to linking up with people who, while I may never meet in person, may provide some entertaining or insightful activity in my online life.
Having said all of that about Diaspora, I will stick with it for now.
Other quick-release first impressions of Diaspora:
- Change your profile name anytime.
- Change the email you use to access Diaspora and receive notifications anytime.
- Integrate Twitter and Tumblr accounts.
- Very gender-label friendly. You can literally type in anything to describe your gender. I typed in "Messianic Granola Bar" and it let me do it. Big points for equality and difference, Diaspora.
- Limited apps for now, but more are said to be on the way.
- A function to export all of your personal data is planned for the future.
Anybody else gotten a chance to play around with Diaspora yet? If so, what'd you think? Yea or nay?
You can follow the timeline of developments for Diaspora at the site's Wiki page.
