Making Money Secrets

Blogger Andrew Trench recently presented a theory on the threshold of when Internet penetration starts to matter, writing:

Social networks have also been given plenty of credit for the revolution unfolding in Egypt.

So I went and had a look at the numbers over on www.internetworldstats.com to see what they could tell us about these two scenarios. Well, fascinatingly, both Egypt and Tunisia have seen a massive growth in internet users and internet penetration over the last 10 years.

Both have now got internet penetration of over 20% and in Tunisia's case it was as high as 34%.

While it is clearly simplistic to over-state this factor and there must be many more drivers contributing to such a rapid political uprising, it is obviously a factor as evidenced by the Egyptian regime pulling the plug on the country's internet access to try and block the rising tide of revolt.

My back-of-napkin theory is this: that a rapid increase in internet penetration in a repressive regime does play an important role as it provides an unfettered channel of communication allowing disaffected citizens to share views - and more importantly - to rapidly organise and mobilise.

If Egypt and Tunisia are valid case studies, it looks like internet penetration of around 20% is the mark.

Geopolitics & Macroeconomics adds:

Internet penetration: Social networking sites were critical to sustaining the momentum in the recent protests. The internet penetration in Egypt is 16%. In Libya, it is a meagre 5% [1]. The unrest in Libya has thus far remained concentrated in regions that are geographically distant from the seat of ‘real' power (see more on this below). The dependence of momentum on internet communication is far greater in Libya than in Egypt where protests began in Cairo itself.

Taking the conversation to Pakistan, Sabene Saigol writes, on BrandRepublic:

Perhaps one reason for this is that we're still not that used to communicating via the ‘net - maybe we need greater broadband and internet penetration. Personally I think it is more to do with culture - while Pakistani internet users are savvy to using social media to connect with friends, I feel they have not yet ‘crossed over' to seeing SM as a means for professional communications - or even wider social communications that go beyond their immediate circle. Yes, there are no doubt savvy people - both within marketing and tech circles, and outside - however, these people are likely a tiny proportion of the total number of ‘net and social media users.

A few years ago, the Internet experienced a video revolution. As broadband access expanded and more people began uploading content, video became an expected resource for consumers. Businesses could get more mileage out of television commercials and engage users by linking to video reviews of its products.

A year ago, we saw evidence of small and medium-sized business increasing budgets for video content – to be used both on their homepages and in advertisements. In 2009, 19% of businesses polled were using video (up from 5% in 2008) and I’m willing to bet that number will be much higher in the 2010 report that should come out later this month.

Now, as technology has become more affordable and increasingly mobile, we’re able to experience virtually anything online. As such, local search engines are evolving into master content synthesizers to meet the needs of consumers and advertisers alike – offering video and photos, local advertising deals, user reviews, QR codes, maps and directions, etc.

Consumer expectations of local search engines have never been higher. Users want to see photo and video reviews of a company’s products, read what other people have to say, and even take a virtual tour of your store or restaurant before they visit.

The same is true of small- and medium-sized business owners looking to find a competitive advantage. Local search engines are offering more dynamic content than ever before to users and it’s up to search marketers to help business owners feed that content.

It’s interesting to see how video content has changed since the advent of YouTube. Instead of traditional video advertising, we’re seeing new technology that lets users look around your business from their own home. Soon, we’ll be able to find virtual creations of almost any environment online – and those virtual tours are being integrated with current deals and other advertising promotions to drive traffic to your business.

Recently, a company called EveryScape partnered with Bing and YP to offer digital advertisers a new local search solution – virtual tours. For example, YP360 will let a user step inside a restaurant in Baltimore while they’re still on the train. They can choose a place and even set a reservation, all within the same application on their phone.

Google Earth has gone indoors and local search engines are responsible for bringing this detailed and vivid content to users while keeping it simple and accessible. And the business case for offering this new content to users and advertisers alike is clear as local advertising is expected to grow to $16.1 billion this year, up from $13.7 billion in 2010.

Even more, mobile phone advertising spending is expected to be more than a billion dollars in 2011, up 48% from 2010. Local search engines like YP and Yelp! are seeing over 20 million visitors a month, many of them accessing via mobile phones.

This is a great opportunity for local search engines and advertisers to embrace this new technology and get ahead of the pack. Effective local advertising goes beyond building a social networking presence and listing in directories – you have to make sure your content is engaging. In the online world, the savviest local search marketers who use this technology well will have the most successful campaigns.

I recommend that any business owner or local search marketer read up on the latest digital advertising solutions and consider offering your customers virtual tours of your products or store. To set your business apart, you need to stay current with the best that local search has to offer.

With the company’s future already clouded by Steve Jobs’ latest medical leave, the possibility of the iPad’s chief designer, Jonathan Ive, cashing out ups the uncertainty, Dan Lyons writes.

Is Apple losing its design guru?

When Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced in January that he would take a third medical leave, the biggest concern was the cloud of uncertainty that hovered over the company. Now that uncertainty has become an issue again, as rumors have started swirling that Apple might lose its chief designer, Jonathan Ive.

Reports in Ive’s native England suggest that the man who oversaw the design of the iPhone and iPad wants to spend more time in the U.K., putting him at odds with Apple’s board enough that he would consider leaving the company. Although Ive and Apple won’t comment, the scenario is plausible for two reasons: First, Ive is about to cash in options valued at $30 million that he was granted in 2008; and second, Ive has an especially close relationship with Jobs.

Whether Ive stays or goes, the brouhaha shows the challenges that Apple is increasingly likely to face given the questions about Jobs’ role in the coming months. One scenario being bandied about by Apple-watchers suggests Ive is making a power play to succeed Jobs; it seems just as likely, however, that he simply may not want to work at Apple if Jobs isn’t there.

Still others think the entire notion that Ive might leave is completely unfounded. But either way, the whole incident shows how the Jobs health situation is bringing more drama to a company that, until now, has been a model of tight-lipped discipline.

Apple’s products are famous for their sleek designs, and conventional wisdom holds that losing Ive would be a terrible blow to Apple—“Apple’s worst nightmare,” Britain’s Guardian called it. But the truth is, losing Ive may not be as big a deal as some Apple watchers think.

For one thing, Apple has loads of bench strength in every department, and because of its success it can attract just about anyone it wants.

“How much of this is Steve, how much is Jon, how much someone else? Steve always had an eye for design. The designer is only as good as the client,” says Jean-Louis Gassée.

For another, the real genius behind Apple’s designs might not be Ive—but rather Jobs.

That’s the educated guess of Jean-Louis Gassée, a former top executive at Apple and a longtime close watcher of the company who still has many connections there.

Gassée points out that Ive was already working at Apple when Jobs returned to the company in 1996. Ive joined the company in 1992, when Jobs was gone from the company, having been ousted by the board in 1985.

And before Jobs returned to Apple, Ive wasn’t exactly setting the world on fire. The first products that Ive designed under Jobs were the “Bondi Blue” iMac and the somewhat ugly iBook. Ive’s next products, the "desk lamp" Mac and the early metal laptops, were better looking, Gassée says.

With the company’s future already clouded by Steve Jobs’ latest medical leave, the possibility of the iPad’s chief designer, Jonathan Ive, cashing out ups the uncertainty, Dan Lyons writes.

Making Money Work

Some context:

I am basically a one-man design team for a bimonthly magazine.

As a startup, I was never really making much money here. About $48k.

In fact, marketwise, I was barely getting paid what a single designer should make even tho I am doing the job of at least two people.

I havent received a raise since fall 2007, even for cost of living.

In the time since then, my work (and remember that there is only one designer here) has won us about 6 industry awards.

In fact, in 2010 we won 3 awards and they were all design awards.

The reason I bring all this up is because one would hope that a performance record like that would merit a certain amount of base respect. However since this is the first business my boss has owned, I feel like they are simply spoiled into thinking that this work is just a given. Maybe they just dont know any better.

So now, with the industry souring and ad sales dropping a bit, I have taken a significant pay cut and am now doing all of the advert design that they once jobbed out to freelancers. Ad to that our rush to launch an iPad version and I am now doing far more work for even less money.

I wasnt offered flex time. I wasnt offered furlough days. In fact, for a salaried employee that ends up working heavy deadlines once every two months, my bosses still treat me like an employee that needs to saty til the very end of his "shift" regardless of whether I have work to do at the time.

Another issue (more context) is that they seem to think they have some kind of exclusivity with me. At first they asked that I let them know if I was doing any freelance work, as a "courtesy". But the very first time I mentioned that I was doing a poster on my own time on a dead weekend for a friends band for FREE, my boss acted very butthurt. AS if he should wield a veto power over my work on my own time. This has had the effect of me simply hiding the freelance I do from them. I really dont feel its their business.

So annnnnnnyway. Ive had enough and I am building my portfolio site to hopefully begin shopping myself around. I know the economy sucks, but Im not planning to leave until I get a better offer.

Knowing all that you know about the attitude of my boss presented above, should I worry about them trying to prevent me from using the work Ive created here the last 5 years in my portfolio? CAN they prevent me? Should I be worried?

BONUS: am I being treated unfairly? Ive been in this industry for 15 years and Im giving up hope that Ill ever not work for knobs. Does it suck everywhere?

Selling your home in a down market is tough. It took us 7 months from the time we listed our house until the time we finalize the sale, and we lost just over $50,000 on the transaction. I have conflicting thoughts about losing this much money. Obviously, no one sets out to lose money when they buy a home, and no one feels good about it. But at the same time, I realize it’s probably not as bad as it seems.

Thoughts on losing money on our house

We knew we would lose money on the transaction, so we were prepared for it. Being mentally and emotionally prepared to lose money is important. In the grand scheme of things, we just considered losing money on our home a sunk cost and decided to move on. Here are some factors which made the loss easier to swallow:

We had enough equity to cover our losses. Losing money isn’t fun. Writing someone a check when you’ve already lost a lot of money is even worse. Thankfully, we had enough equity to cover our losses, so we didn’t have to write a check at closing. We put down 20% of the purchase price when we bought the home, and we paid extra on our mortgage payments. This combination ensured we would receive a small check when we sold our home instead of being upside down on our mortgage.

If we didn’t buy, we would have paid rent. Some people say renting is throwing away money, but I disagree. Many people who rented during the real estate bubble avoided taking substantial losses when they had to move. And in our case, we may have actually come out slightly ahead, depending on how you slice the numbers. We lived in our home for just over 5 years. If we would have “thrown away money” on rent for 5 years, we probably would have lost the same amount of money, give or take a little. ($1,000/mo rent * 5 years = $60,000). Again, this doesn’t take into account other factors such as the time value of money as the down payment could have been invested, home repairs, or other expenses. Either way, we would have spent a lot of money on housing.

We could have lost more money. The real estate market in our area of the US was hit pretty hard. We just left the Dayton, OH area, which lost tens of thousands of jobs, and for a period of time, it was in the top 10 for foreclosures. As you can imagine, that created an excess of inventory and decimated housing prices. Thankfully, our neighborhood was relatively insulated from the price drops compared to some of the other neighborhoods.

Some people can’t afford to sell, even if they want to. The real estate markets in some locations are so bad that the majority of people are upside down on their homes and selling would mean having to fork over tens of thousands of dollars they don’t have. Many people are so far under in their mortgages that they decided the best course of action was to walk away from their mortgage.

We can make it up on the back end. We want to buy another home, and the saving grace for us is that real estate prices are lower in most places, hopefully making this a good buying opportunity for us. Our hope is that we can get more house for our money when we buy our next home. Our goal is to stay in our next home for the next 5-10 years, so hopefully things will turn out better the next time around.

All of these things may sound like rationalizations, and to some degree they are. But it also serves as a reminder to myself and others that real estate isn’t a guaranteed investment.

Have you bought or sold a house recently? How did it work out for you?

What to Expect Whenever Hiring a Roofer

When the time comes to repair or even substitute your roof, it can be a daunting task to find someone who is qualified to do the job. There are many roofing companies out there, but the ones who'll do a great job for any reasonable price are not often easy to find. If you are in the market for the contractor, make use of the tips below with regard to interviewing and employing the right one.

Job interview and Consultation

Most roofing companies provide free consultations. This is particularly important, because it provides them a chance to assess exactly what your homes roof needs, and it gives you an opportunity to evaluate all of them. As with all of businesses, believe in instincts concerning the individuals a person let upward on your roof. No issue exactly how great the contractor's status or even recommendation, he ought to begin by showing a person having a business greeting card. If the service provider arrives looking as well as talking within an unprofessional manner, chances are that the task he's going to do will also be less than professional. This is not to express that you should expect companies to reach within fits. They will be hiking on your roofing, so most is going to be dressed up in jeans as well as function footwear or athletic shoes. If the contractor appears to be more interested in speaking upon their mobile phone during your roof compared to he's within analyzing your own roof's needs, which may be an additional indication that he's not really the one for the job. For your lawful safety, be certain that the actual service provider offers sufficient liability insurance.

Roofing Assessment

Anticipate the service provider will be rising in your roofing. Actually, any service provider who does not want to go up in your roof to judge the issue should be immediately reduced. Those who are seriously interested in their own function will possibly make a sketching of your roof's surface area and tag trouble spots on it because they undergo their assessment, or even they will take pictures or even video of the surface while they're up there. This is an extremely essential action, because it enables you to observe exactly what the problems are as well as understand how they will be fixed.

Estimate

The next step will be the written estimate. The service provider will take away their loan calculator and come track of an itemized estimate. Some companies will go out to their own vehicle or even truck as well as write down the actual proposal, while others will crisis the actual numbers for the job in front of you. Once you're given the suggestion, ensure that you comprehend which products is going to be utilized, just how long the task will require and when there are any extra or concealed costs that could occur during the repair from the roofing. The contractor should be able to solution all of these questions effortlessly as well as forewarn a person associated with a extra expenses that could be incurred should the roof's integrity be broken within.

After you have received several created estimations from roofing companies, evaluate what each company or even contractor is willing to provide for the cost. Do not necessarily discount the highest bet, simply because sometimes the greatest bet will actually be the service provider who does the task properly. Additionally, be wary of bids that are not nearly as expensive other people. They may be utilizing inferior products or perhaps be unethical about the possibility of concealed expenses. Above all, believe in instincts as well as go with the actual contractor that makes you feel most comfortable about handing over your hard earned money.

Seven Uyghurs Sentenced to Death

2011-03-23

Critics of the sentences say China has politicized the robberies as acts of terrorism.

AFP

A Uyghur man walks past armed Chinese security forces in Urumqi, July 17, 2009.

Chinese authorities in the northwestern region of Xinjiang have ordered the executions of seven ethnic minority Uyghur men convicted of "violent" crimes, official media said on Wednesday.

The death sentences were handed down by the Supreme People's Court in recent days, according to state media in the regional capital, Urumqi.

The men were accused in connection with three separate attacks late last year in the Silk Road city of Kashgar, according to the news website Urumqi Online.

According to another website, the Xinjiang-based Tianshan news site, Aimaiti Tuheti, Yiming Dawuti, and unnamed "others" killed a security guard at a pedestrian mall as part of a failed Aug. 7 robbery attempt.

In a separate incident on Oct. 12, it said, Nuermaimaiti Aobulikasimu and 11 others broke into a house, bound and killed the couple living in it, and took their possessions.

It said the group also broke into the homes of two brothers, robbed them, and killed six people in a Nov. 11 attack in Kashgar.

The report gave no information about the victims or the schedule for the executions.

Three of the men were sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, a sentence that is normally commuted to life imprisonment in China's judicial system.

They were convicted of deliberate homicide and armed robbery by the Kashgar Intermediate People's Court in the first instance.

'Strike hard' campaign

A Han Chinese resident of Urumqi surnamed Yang said a reference to "terrorism" in official news reports on the case showed that it was being politicized by the authorities, who have launched a series of "strike hard" campaigns in Xinjiang following deadly ethnic violence in July 2009.

"There is an implied political meaning; that they were somehow engaged in separatist activities or ethnic divisions," said Yang.

Exile Uyghur groups said the trials had been conducted behind closed doors, with scant opportunity for public scrutiny.

"The entire process against these men, from the trial through to the judgment, was opaque," said Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the Munich-based World Uyghur Congress.

"There was also very little reasonable evidence to convict them on a legal basis, because all the evidence came from one side of the case," he said.

"We strongly condemn the Chinese government for continuing to pursue their policies of ethnic division," said Raxit.

"We are also strongly opposed to the death penalty in this case."

Earlier cases

Last month, the Supreme Court sentenced four Uyghurs to death for alleged involvement in an Aug. 19 bomb attack in Xinjiang’s western Aksu city.

The World Uyghur Congress pointed to concerns over lack of transparency in those cases too.

The Aksu blast left eight people dead, including two of the bombers, and 15 wounded after a man riding a three-wheeled vehicle threw explosives at a group of uniformed patrolmen. Four Uyghurs were arrested shortly after the attack.

State media characterized the cases as acts of terrorism and unrelated to longstanding ethnic tensions between Uyghurs and Han Chinese in the region.

Exiled Uyghur dissident Rebiya Kadeer has warned that attacks like those in Aksu will continue to occur until Beijing addresses the underlying source of tension in the region.

Millions of Uyghurs—a distinct, Turkic minority who are predominantly Muslim—populate Central Asia and Xinjiang.

Uyghurs say they have long suffered ethnic discrimination, oppressive religious controls, and continued poverty and joblessness despite China's ambitious plans to develop its vast northwestern frontier.

Those frustrations erupted in July 2009 in deadly riots that left nearly 200 people dead, by the Chinese government's tally.

At least 26 people, mostly Uyghurs, were sentenced to death in the aftermath of the riots, many of whom have been executed, according to state media.

China is believed to execute more people each year than the rest of the world’s countries combined, although the government does not publish official figures.

Rights groups say Beijing may execute as many as several thousand prisoners annually.

Chinese authorities blame Uyghur separatists for a series of deadly attacks in recent years and accuse one group in particular of maintaining ties to the al-Qaeda terrorist network.

New training scheme

China on Wednesday also announced a training scheme which places ethnic minority graduates from Xinjiang in work elsewhere in China.

Governments of the destination cities will spend 450 million yuan (U.S.$ 69 million) for the program, while Xinjiang will spend 400 million yuan (U.S.$ 61 million), the official Xinhua news agency reported.

The program targets some 60,000 jobless college graduates in Xinjiang, around 80 percent of whom are from ethnic minorities, and 60 percent of whom are women.

However, some commentators see the move as an attempt to assimilate non-Han Chinese into mainstream Chinese culture.

"From the point of view of ethnic minorities, the graduate work scheme is really taking the cream of youth from the minorities and using them to 'further cultural development,'" wrote one ethnic minority user on a popular microblogging service.

"In fact, the culture that is being advanced is Han culture, and this group of young people will have been totally brainwashed," the microblog update said.

An Urumqi resident surnamed Li agreed.

"They have run senior high school schemes like this before during the past few years," he said.

"Whether it's high-schoolers or graduate training programs, these are measures that are aimed at thought control and brainwashing, and the 'Partification' of their education," he said.

Wikileaks and also the Uyghurs

through henry upon December 20, This year
Henryk Szadziewski, Supervisor, Uyghur Human Rights Project

If it had been actually in doubt, info acquired through the whistleblower web site, Wikileaks, has confirmed Chinese language government fears over it's ongoing charge of the region it phone calls Xinjiang, which is also referred to as East Turkestan. The leaked out cables from U.Utes. diplomats demonstrate the actual degree to which Chinese language government bodies make an effort to persuade government authorities globally to adopt its stance upon problems affecting Uyghurs. The actual wires also display the United States' issues and sights concerning the ongoing repressive measures in the region.

The majority of lighting of Chinese language government pressure would be the wires pointing to Chinese language frustration, or the specter of Chinese language ire, within the release of Uyghur detainees in Guantánamo to 3rd nations. A December Twenty nine, 08 cable relates exactly how Chinese language Helper Foreign Minister Liu Jieyi fulfilled with the U.S. Ambassador in order to China in order to tone of voice Beijing's powerful opposition associated with release to any nation other than The far east, which if the Ough.S. do certainly accede for this ask for it might "avoid injury to bilateral relations and also to cooperation ‘in important areas'". In addition, the February '09 cable television explains the way the Chinese Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Yannian, regarded as the possible discharge of Uyghur Guantánamo detainees as "an unfriendly act towards us" along with a "slap within the face". The Ough.Utes. government was firm within not really releasing the detainees to The far east demonstrates the degree from the politicized nature of the Chinese language judicial system. Legitimate concerns more than terrorism are understandable, but in the U.Utes. government's view the detainees would probably face do-it-yourself torture as well as delivery if they came back to The far east

Chinese language federal government stress in regard to the actual Uyghur Guantánamo detainees wasn't only applied to the Ough.Utes. government, but also in order to Brand new Zealand and a handful of Western governments which were thinking about resettlement. Albania, Germany as well as Finland, as well as European Union member states just about all appear to have paid for the impact of Chinese language federal government unhappiness. In the case of Indonesia, which was initially willing to consider 2 Uyghurs on purely humanitarian reasons, Uyghur Guantánamo cases were much less better than additional detainees because of the negative effects taking Uyghurs might have on relations along with China. A May 8, 2009 cable relates exactly how "German Ambassador Erina Schaefer reported that Indonesia experienced knowledgeable China of the Ough.Utes. ask for to simply accept a few Uighur detainees held from Guantánamo coupled with already been subsequently warned through The far east associated with ‘a heavy load upon bilateral relations' in the event that Indonesia had been to simply accept any detainees".

The actual diplomatic wires additionally discuss the unrest in Urumchi, the local capital, in July '09. The July Thirteen, 2009 cable discussing bulk occurrences within The far east says:

"Ethnic riots such as those in Xinjiang July 5-7 as well as in Tibet within 03 associated with 08 differ markedly within source and nature from mass incidents, XXXXXXXXXXXX emphasized to PolOff [Political Officer] on XXXXXXXXXXXX. Both existing serious trouble for the Party, XXXXXXXXXXXX said, however the Party leadership would not wait to spread out fire on Uighurs or even Tibetans if they deemed it necessary to recover order. Bulk occurrences pose another type of threat, he said, since the leadership is actually ‘afraid' to fire upon Han rioters with regard to fear of causing massive public outrage that will change against the Party."

This is a chilling opinion, especially when 1 considers evidence presented by 50 percent reviews released this season by the Uyghur Individual Rights Task (UHRP) as well as Amnesty Worldwide which fine detail eyewitness accounts from the use of lethal live fireplace towards Uyghur protestors within This summer 2009. In addition, the actual declaration which fire wouldn't be used towards Han Chinese protestors offers resonances for the various strategy used by Chinese security causes within Urumchi to Han Chinese language protests in September '09. During individuals protests, then Celebration Assistant, Wang Lequan, tackled protesters, who experienced demanded he let them know regarding federal government reactions in order to protection concerns. An identical request to satisfy using the Party Secretary through Uyghur demonstrators in This summer was not met.

The actual wider repercussions of the unrest also saw a brief discussion on the effect it would possess upon Iran-China relationships, as well as on relationships with Sydney after Globe Uyghur Our elected representatives Leader, Microsoft. Rebiya Kadeer, talked at the Nationwide Press Membership in Canberra within August '09. Within the latter case, china government "privately warn[ed] a major Australian financial institution which sponsors the National Push Membership to make use of it's influence to bar the Kadeer speech there".

The United States' concerns about the scenario within the Uyghur area are available via in the cables. In a dialogue upon policy direction within Tibet, U.Utes. authorities clarify that it will end up being not possible with regard to Chinese frontrunners to consider a much softer line "if they appear like doing this under worldwide pressure". The actual cable television dated 04 16, 2008, one month after the outbreak associated with unrest in Tibetan regions, also relayed the actual observation "that domestic balance remains the leadership's top priority above all else, which means there will ‘almost surely' end up being no relaxation of the present hard line on Tibet or in locations like Xinjiang." The info contained in the cable television also sheds gentle about the severe level of sensitivity with which the Chinese government sights territorial integrity, and the feasible spill over associated with unrest through Tibet.

The chance associated with solutions to tensions in Tibet and Xinjiang as a result of civil society are debated in a February Twenty-four, 08 cable television. Whilst recommending which China's economic achievement will increase its potential to deal with democratic reform, the actual cable television also talks about exactly how Chinese frontrunners begin to see the effectiveness of "a restricted growth associated with civil society, including improvements in the guideline associated with regulation and a more powerful role for authorized religions, NGOs, non profit organizations along with other actors within places which bring about social stability and do not problem Communist Party guideline." This is a notable alternation in considering, which has observed Ough.Utes. officials market the idea which Chinese language financial development, as well as financial relations with China brings about a steadily democratic culture; nevertheless, much more belief appears to be put into the grassroots motion compared to one that starts from the best quantity of a Chinese language government. Nonetheless, the cable television concludes that "[i]n places for example Tibet as well as Xinjiang, driving a car associated with separatism results in tighter limitations on the growth of municipal culture." This approach can be regarded as counter-productive through the recognized, who shows that the U.Utes. federal government "should still express...serious concerns over Beijing's human privileges record as well as appeal to China's growing consciousness that higher respect with regard to individual rights, religious freedom and the rule associated with law assists to advertise the very improvement as well as social balance which The far east looks for in addition to to improve China's worldwide image." Such a technique would consider substantial diplomatic abilities considering "China's weird concern the Usa secretly promotes regime change and ‘separatists' within Taiwan, Tibet as well as Xinjiang".

The actual cables provide insight into the every day company of diplomacy that is hardly ever afforded to the general public, which is interesting to notice the amount of function done nowadays on Uyghur issues. The significance of the actual part of the us as a monitor associated with Uyghur human privileges conditions in private conversations is created obvious, as well as contrasts using its tactful open public position. Employees from the Uyghur Human Rights Task is actually comfortable with the pressure china federal government puts on Uyghur activists; still, the details associated with Chinese language federal government stress on its counterparts is actually illustrative from the degree that Chinese language officials attempt to suppress contradictory stories. With more revelations in the future through Wikileaks, concerns more than Uyghurs may not grab the actual head lines, however the wires possess shed new gentle on the paperwork of individual rights problems within the Uyghur region.

Uyghur People from Eastern Turkistan

In the middle of the desert landscapes of Taklamakan, in the northern-west part of China, the province of Xinjiang is the least populated land while it covers near to a sixth with the country's area. Having resisted while in hundreds of years the chinese control, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, or Old East Turkistan, fell within the Chinese Han domination in 1949. From then, its population is generally Uyghurs and Turkish - speaking System.

Muslim primarily, the Uyghur people have a strong religious identification that, in particular, enabled them to keep a strong difference in opposition to the Chinese invader. In fact, the Uyghur Empire of Mongolia knew a great civilization, until its absorption by the Mongolian Empire in the XIIIth century.

While in their own historical past, the Uyghurs successively taken on Shamanism, Manicheism, Buddhism and the Nestorianism before lastly moving to Islam when the Arab conquerors beat the Chinese in year 751 BC., thus opening the way to the Islamization of the entire Central Asia.

Under the influence of the beliefs which they taken, the Uyghurs taken successively, and sometimes in a competing way, a great number of written forms (turco-runic, brahmi, tokharien, soghdien) before developing their own unique graphic system.

The coming of Islam was a great change because it was followed by the assimilation of the Uyghur land in the enormous Turco-Mongolian and Islamic Empire. Thus, the descendants of Genghis Khan slowly replaced their writing by a Arabo-Persan alphabet, still used presently.

If their writing, their own language and their religion mark a real difference with the culture of Chinese Han, the Uyghurs also differ from their characteristic, so characteristic of Central Asia's people. A matt skin, eyes representing a whole pallet of colors, from black to deep blue, features directing out to the Mongolian, Turkish or Uzbek roots of these men and these women.

For a few years, China has integrated the proper identity of these remote people, though they represent only nine million people - a little for this kind of huge region. So, the Uyghurs are now part of the 56 ethnic minority groups having been known in an official way by China.

This law will allow them a few rights in a country where their big difference is very often repressed. Therefore, Uyghur people escape the "single child policy" and their language is known as the second official language in Xinjiang.

The integration of the Uyghurs and their culture in China, however, appears really illusory. The presence of all-natural resources in Xinjiang, and its area with countries recognized as sensitive, clearly urged the government to speed up the sinicization of this area. Million of Han thus came to settle in this new Chinese eldorado, monopolizing the larger responsibility jobs.

In response to this true will to assimilate the Uyghur people into the Chinese culture, an independent party like East Turkistan Islamic Movement(ETIM) was born in the early 1990.

Saying more flexibility, but in particular the acceptance of their true identity, this movement was severely repressed by the power authorities in place Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The events of September 11, 2001, were the perfect occasion for the Chinese government to justify true reprisals: they declared the "Uyghur freedom fighters" as dangerous terrorists linked to Al Quaida because of their Muslim origins and their proximity with Pakistan and Afghanistan... However, the terrible repression which followed did not calm down the anger. The Uyghur peoples population continues today to proudly hold their identification and their civilization , even though they become a minority on their own land.

For additional information about the Uyghurs, you can visit a Uyghur website called Uyghur News at http://www.uyghurnews.com

Im Making Money

Gaye Gerard/Getty Images

I've been a fan of CM Punk since I first saw him win Money In The Bank at WrestleMania 24. He's got this certain aspect of his character that just makes you want to cheer for him or want to see him get hit with a chair...however I can't seem to want to see the latter though.

I never really followed him during his time on SmackDown (mainly because I don't watch SmackDown that often anymore), but since his arrival on Raw in October he has been one of the main reasons I tune into wrestling on Monday nights.

His mic skills remind me of a younger Chris Jericho, his in ring ability is unmatched by most wrestlers today and, quite frankly, every time I see him...I piss myself laughing.

This guy is hilarious...even when he doesn't mean to be.

I don't know, maybe I'm a psychopath but this guy just cracks me up, especially when he starts to do other peoples taunts (like screaming "Whatsup" during the Royal Rumble or doing Randy Orton's "smash ground thing" during the Elimination Chamber).

The guy just seems naturally funny and it's pretty hard to take a heel that makes you laugh seriously,

Judging from the crowd's reactions the last few weeks I'm starting to assume that I'm not the only one who feels this way, it seems like Punk is going to become the next "Anti-Hero" of WWE whether Vince Mcmahon wants to or not because the "CM Punk" chants are starting to overthrow the "CM Sucks" chants.

If he does turn into a face or tweener however this could serve as a new starting point for the "New Nexus."

That stable has started to show signs of wear and tear over the last few months and even with a new leader it hasn't improved much.

If they follow CM Punk in the new possible direction it could open up the opportunity for different feuds with new people such as The Miz and Ted Dibiase (if he ever gets a push again) while also continuing to battle with John Cena and Randy Orton.

It could also work for the Nexus vs. Corre feud seeing as how right now. The Corre seem to be the big bad guys on SmackDown.

If the fans keep cheering for CM Punk sooner than later Vince McMahon is going to take notice and either have him do something that makes him the most hated man in wrestling or possibly the most cheered man in wrestling.

Am I wrong? What do you guys think? Let the debating...begin!

James Franco Told Frida Giannini He’s Making A Gucci Film

by Julia Rubin | 5:25 pm, February 19th, 2011

The March issue of Harper’s Bazaar just won’t quit…and it hasn’t even hit newsstands yet. In addition to pieces on Kim and Liz, Prabal and DVF, Daphne and Hillary, the magazine also features an interview James Franco conducted with his friend Frida Giannini.

The Gucci creative director dished on all sorts of things with the actor/director/soap star/student/overachiever who had this to say about the designer: ”Frida and I have been in sync since we met. I love her work, and she supports mine. Creatively, I know we will always be in line with each other.” (Also, Franco joked that his next project is “making a documentary about you and Gucci.” But we just don’t know if he’s kidding.)

On Gucci’s pragmatism:

JF: When you see the clothes at a fashion show, sometimes they’re more extreme than what you see in the store, right?

FG: Well, not always at Gucci. I believe what we are showing on the catwalk needs to be in the stores. The big stores like in New York or London or Paris, the main flagships, they always have the entire collection–even the extreme pieces. There are people who are waiting for the extreme pieces from the fashion show. We are not the kind of company that thinks, Okay, I’ll do something for the runway, and I’ll make an entire new collection to sell.

FG: Chanel is always doing incredible sets, and they change it every time. We’d rather spend money on other things than make a big, spectacular thing you would see for 10 minutes because we are working for six months on a collection.

On fashion globalism:

JF: So then, because Gucci is all over the world and you’re thinking about people actually wearing these clothes, do you have to think slightly differently for each part of the world?

FG: I never think about it because I think people in the world, from the U.S. to Asia, love Gucci because it’s about aspiration. I don’t think if I made a speciic collection for a Chinese woman, she would be happy. They don’t want something speciic for them. I did a collection that was very Russian, inspired by the artists in Russia in the ’20s and ’30s who left and went to Paris. It performed very well all over the world–except in Russia.

JF: And why, do you think?

FG: I talked to the managers in Russia, and they said they didn’t like the reference to them. So this is an example that was quite strange. Maybe if I make a collection inspired by India, with the colors of India, people in India won’t like it.

On criticism:

JF: I know Harper’s Bazaar is here listening to us, but if you’re criticized heavily in a big fashion magazine, does that have any real effect on sales or what people like?

FG: The first couple of seasons, I was in shock sometimes because I had very mixed reviews, especially because it was right after Tom Ford. Can you imagine the pressure? I am a woman; he is a man. I am Italian; he is American. Very, very different. Now I am much more relaxed; sometimes I receive very bad criticism and read between the lines of the bad reviews.

Sometimes I have thought it was a good suggestion for me because I know that the journalist has a great mind and has much more experience than me. Generally speaking, I’m very open to criticism. I will never say, “I had a bad review from you; I don’t want to meet you anymore.” I believe in what I am doing, and I believe in my ideas, but I think it is very constructive to be open to understanding other thoughts.
