How to Making Money

If you don't know much about Justin Bieber's rise to superstardom, James Parker provides a good primer:

How did he do it? With YouTube, that’s how. Kissed in his cradle by the witch of the Web, Justin was throwing up little promo reels by the time he was 12. Singing a Brian McKnight song into the bathroom mirror. Or sitting on some municipal steps somewhere, busking mightily about the Lord: “You’re my God and my Fa-ther!” he bellows through the legs of passersby, the wooden body of his guitar reverberating with his shouts. ...

Bieber wasn’t from the Disney factory, and he didn’t have a show on Nickelodeon, so the marketing plan was skewed toward his already established constituency in social media: lots of Facebooking and YouTubing and sugary tweets to his millions-strong Twitter army.

The Truth About Twitter: It&#39;s The Evening <b>News</b>

Twitter is a media platform, not a social network.

Surface Encounters

For Apple, the mobile market is a cash cow. The company’s iPhone and iPad are proving to be the top mobile companions for people around the globe. Apple has sold over 100 million iPhones. Its iPad sales have hit 15 million. The company understands the mobile market and it knows how to capitalize on it.

But what about the living room? It has the Apple TV, sure, and the Mac mini is often times connected to an HDTV, but what else has Apple done to push the envelope in the living room? It still hasn’t launched the long-rumored television we keep hearing about, and it seems that offering a game console — a hope for many Apple fans over the past few years — won’t happen.

I fully realize that Apple can’t be everything to every customer. It delivers computers, smartphones, tablets, personal media players, two operating systems, wireless routers, and much more. But I also realize that Apple is an entertainment company. It’s about trying to give people more opportunity to enjoy their lives through technology. And it would only make sense if it doubled down on the living room.

Let’s turn our attention to the Apple TV for a minute.

Prior to its announcement in September, rumors were running rampant over what the former “hobby” would offer. Folks thought it would deliver gaming, interface with DVRs, include Apple’s App Store, and much more. They thought it would be a sizable update over its predecessor.

Instead, Apple offered a stripped-down alternative.

The second-generation Apple TV comes with the ability for users to stream Netflix content. It has Flickr and Internet radio. And it allows users to stream their music over their home network to their televisions. It offers movies and television shows, as well, but most would agree that it’s slim pickings for now.

At that event in September, Steve Jobs said that Apple’s research showed customers didn’t want everything a company could pile into a device. They simply want the ability to consume the content they enjoy without the fuss that might come along with something like Google TV-based devices.

But by delivering the bare minimum, Apple did itself no favors. The company took the easy way out and pretended like it no longer views the living room as a hobby. The only issue is, the Apple TV is still a hobby. It’s a device that lacks all the functionality we’ve come to expect from Apple — a company that typically prides itself on offering the best value for the cash. And at least so far, it leaves me wanting more.

So, what am I looking for? I want to see Apple improve the Apple TV by bringing its App Store to the platform. I’d also like to see some kind of gaming component come to the device, either through the App Store or as part of a more-capable platform.

And perhaps most importantly, I’d like to see Apple think beyond its set-top box and deliver products that try something new. I’m not sold on the possibility of Apple offering a groundbreaking television, but if it can surprise me, I’m all for it.

Simply put, I’m looking for Apple to be Apple. Right now, it’s just like every other company in the living room; it’s content to have a presence but not dominate.

That needs to end.

No single company can stake claim to the living room right now. Steve Jobs just needs to take advantage of that void and do something special.

But first, he needs to take the living room — and its revenue potential — seriously.

With few surprises, techies were underwhelmed with Apple’s iPad 2 announcement, but I’m confident that consumers will be thrilled with the product. Apple already had a massive lead in the consumer tablet market it created, and these “underwhelming” upgrades should keep the company comfortably ahead. Apple has given competitors an opening by sticking to 3G, and it did not further pressure them with a lower entry price point or higher-resolution display. However, Apple has three critical advantages.

1. Brand: When consumers are thinking about tablets, they say they are buying an “iPad,” not a “tablet.” The iPad was already the category and volume leader, and the iPad 2 builds on that. In this respect, Apple actually benefits from the crowd of new tablets hitting the market. If there were only one or two strong competitors, consumers would be able to weigh the pros and cons of each offering, but with dozens and dozens of options hitting the market over the next few months, decision paralysis can set in and many consumers will throw up their hands and make the “safe” choice: the iPad.

2. iTunes: The iPad is still the only tablet on the market with a huge digital marketplace for movies, TV shows, and music. Some competitors are taking steps in this direction (e.g., Samsung’s Hub), but iTunes remains a significant competitive advantage.

3. App Store: If all you want to do is browse the Web and check e-mail, any tablet will probably suffice. However, Apple has an enormous lead in purpose-built apps. The Android ecosystem is strong and app availability should improve significantly over time, but the iPad 2 is considerably more versatile than any of its competitors right now, and it appears unlikely to lose its lead any time in the near future.

So if you are competing with Apple, what should you do? Rather than copying Apple’s products, copy its old advertising tag line and Think Different.

Apple’s brand is focused on creative types (or those who aspire to be), which is why it spends so much effort creating things like GarageBand. Competitors should target IT managers, knowledge workers, outdoorsy people, or some other group and build software and hardware combinations better suited to those use cases. Of course, this will take imagination and the ability to tie hardware, software, and services together to build unique experiences. There are some companies thinking outside the box (HTC and RIM have clearly differentiated products on their roadmaps), but for the vendors who are trying to out-Apple Apple… good luck. Here are some pointers, you’re going to need them:

• Based on Apple’s financials, it is clear that the iPad with WiFi is Apple’s volume product and 3G versions are merely gravy. Why is the competition only targeting the gravy?

• iTunes remains a significant competitive advantage for Apple – I cannot easily explain to novices how to get a movie onto the XOOM. Rivals need an “iTunes” of their own, but having one just achieves parity with Apple, so partnering is an acceptable approach. However, half measures are not enough; digital media stores must include movies (including rentals) and TV shows and music. If multiple partners are used, the tablet vendor still needs to provide a common interface and single account/billing relationship.

• Nintendo has a significant base of game developers targeting the 3DS; if you cannot muster equivalent resources (for gaming, media playback, or some other use), adding 3D to your tablet is just a gimmick.

• Apple’s rivals can compete on 4G, higher-resolution displays, or a lower price. Even speed is a potential differentiator from a technical perspective; NVIDIA has quad-core processors sampling this month, so rivals could build even faster tablets for this holiday season. However, I must still caution vendors that all of these factors are irrelevant if consumers do not want your product.

The major legislative item on the agenda in the Senate this week will be The Small Business Reauthorization Act (S. 493).  Republicans plan to use this bill as a platform to promote critical pieces of legislation through the process of non-germane amendments to the bill.  Here are some vital amendments that will be debated and voted on throughout the week:

• Senator Mitch McConnell is offering an amendment (S. AMDT 183) to prohibit the EPA from promulgating any regulations on greenhouse gas emissions.  There is perhaps no force that is more destructive to our prosperity, consumer freedom of choice, and job creation than onerous cap and trade schemes.  There are many red state Democrats who are up for reelection in 2012 and will be hard pressed to go on record as supporting policies that are an imprecation to the interests of their states.  Make sure to call Senators Claire McCaskill, Joe Manchin, Ben Nelson, Bill Nelson, and Jon Tester in particular.

• Senator David Vitter is offering an amendment (S.AMDT. 178) forcing the federal government to sell off unused and underused property.  This is a serious issue.  The federal government owns over half of the land in some western states and has been using it to stifle energy development.  Selling unused federal lands would also serve as a prudent means of generating revenue without raising taxes.

• Senator Rand Paul is using the SBA bill as a platform to offer his signature budget bill (S.AMDT 199) which would slash $200 billion in spending for fiscal 2011.  Paul’s plan slashes funding by 50% to the Departments of Energy, Education, and HUD.  This amendment represents real limited government and budget austerity and will separate the men among the boys in the ranks of the Republican Conference.

• Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison is forcing a vote (S. AMDT 197) to delay the implementation of ObamaCare until a final resolution is reached in pending lawsuits.  Unlike other bills that are designed to merely ameliorate ObamaCare, this amendment would completely halt it during the ensuing legal battles.

• Senator Tom Coburn has filed an amendment (S.AMDT.184) to force federal agencies to compile comprehensive lists of all of their programs

Make sure that all of your Republican senators are on record supporting these amendments, especially Rand Paul’s budget proposal.  Also, let’s see which faux moderate Democrats will commit to supporting anyone of these commonsense initiatives.  Needless to say, I didn’t waste time calling my senators; Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin!

It looks like women have caught up with men in numbers in the workplace. For the first time in history, women in the USA now outnumber men in the workforce, and there are now more women in supervisory positions than there are males. The question is whether they will handle the downside of working any better than men.

According to an article by Ella L. J. Edmondson Bell, Ph.D., titled The 21st Century Workplace -- Are Women the New Men?, the economic downturn has hit men harder. They held nearly 80 percent of jobs that have been lost during what is now being called the "mancession." Will women now inherit the stress, pressure, exhaustion, burn out and heart attacks commonly associated with male leaders in business?

Some predict that this new female-dominated workplace will mean a softening of the corporate culture, with more benevolent leaders. Others foresee just the opposite. Ella says many women don't want to be seen as "soft" -- and others simply aren't. No one would call Carly Fiorina, the head of Hewlett Packard from 1999 to 2005, a wilting lily. According to her memoir, Tough Choices, she was sometimes referred to as Chainsaw Carly.

All of this is especially relevant on the entrepreneurial side, since statistics show that women are starting businesses at more than twice the rate of their male counterparts. Some would argue that the growing success rate of women entrepreneurs shows that they are resourceful, and better able to succeed, despite the odds.

While I'm sure we will continue to see progress on the female side, I predict that they will struggle with the same major challenges faced today by men. These include:

1. Funding your dream. Raising money is hard, whether you are counting on friends, investors, or banks. I rarely see women at angel investment groups, either asking for money, or offering to fund new ventures. Men seem more focused on this one.




2. Need for increased confidence and mindset skills. Many women and men are paralyzed by perfection, plagued by pessimism, and the need to satisfy others, rather than themselves. We need more women leaders.




3. Motivation to succeed. Every entrepreneur needs to love what they do, and believe so strongly in their product or service that they can weather the tough times. On this one, it's easy to spot the ones with passion, from either gender.




4. Manage time and priorities. Women, often more than men, try to do too much. It's hard to balance the continual demands of the business, personal relationships, and home life. Every entrepreneur needs to prioritize the important tasks ahead of urgent tasks.




5. Never stop learning. After you start your business, the learning really begins. True entrepreneurs look at failures as their best learning experiences. Networking, and using your network is the next most important element of learning.

I don't see any challenges which are so gender specific that they can't be overcome by any entrepreneur. Yet I don't think women should be convinced that the battle for equality is almost over. There is still the question of why there are so few women in high places, and why the average income for women in business is about 68% of men's income.

What I am hoping is that women will not just be the new men, and suffer from the same maladies and limitations. I'll be looking for women to create the "new business culture" that every worker wants -- better role definitions, more effective and productive leadership, and better work-life balance. That would make women entrepreneurs the new women, rather than the new men!

Service Providers Must Shoulder Acceptance Infrastructure Costs to Successfully Bridge Gap Between Mobile Phones and Retailer Point-of-Sale



SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VeriFone Systems, Inc. (NYSE: PAY), the leading payment solutions provider in the U.S., today urged aspiring mobile payment service companies to engage with retailers in determining market requirements to enable mobile phone-initiated payments and services at the retail point of sale.



"Emerging mobile payments platforms represent a leap forward in electronic payment transactions, but those who want to claim leadership in this space have to reconcile merchant resistance to the imposition of costs to implement new infrastructure that will be managed an increasingly complex environment"

Responding to growing interest from major industry players intent on claiming a stake in emerging mobile commerce opportunities, VeriFone CEO Douglas G. Bergeron articulated key guidelines to ensure that mobile payments don't follow the path of previous alternative payment schemes that only succeeded in alienating merchants. VeriFone supplies a large majority of card payment solutions employed in the U.S. by retailers large and small and over the past 30 years has led the way in retail adoption of new payment technologies.



"Emerging mobile payments platforms represent a leap forward in electronic payment transactions, but those who want to claim leadership in this space have to reconcile merchant resistance to the imposition of costs to implement new infrastructure that will be managed an increasingly complex environment," Bergeron said.



"The retail point of sale represents a point of convergence for smartphone-initiated payments, social networking and electronic couponing, but it won't happen if retailers are expected, on faith, to absorb the costs of making it work," Bergeron added. "This isn't just an issue of adding an NFC reader, it requires deep software richness at the point-of-sale to interact with the smartphone and manage a services-based model encompassing new applications and deployments without disrupting operation of existing card systems."



Bergeron outlined six key "rules" that industry participants need to adhere to in order to ensure success of mobile commerce:



Rule #1: "Deployment and management of complex NFC technologies will require significant ongoing services from the retailer's payment systems provider. Until retailers are assured of receiving real value from mobile commerce, service providers who stand to gain from either carrier fees, advertising revenue or transaction charges must be willing to bear the costs of this highly disruptive paradigm shift."



Rule #2: "Mobile commerce must add value to the consumer. Tapping a phone is a gimmick, no different from tapping a card or fob. In addition to providing the ability to pay for stuff by phone, service providers and retailers need to provide real additional value –- such as coupons, loyalty rewards and discounts -- for consumers to leave their wallets at home.



Rule #3: "Mobile commerce must be streamlined with existing POS services and managed well for the retailer. Retailers won't tolerate the need for multiple methods of acceptance to accommodate what will become a wide array of mobile commerce schemes. All ideas, regardless of where or who generates them, must converge at a unified point-of-sale."



Rule #4: "Mobile commerce must go from zero to 90 mph in five seconds. Consumers will not embrace mobile commerce without the confidence that it is being widely accepted. If it only works at a few select retailers, it dies a quick death. Ten percent acceptance is not sustainable."



Rule #5: "Mobile commerce must be integrated with other forms of payment. Mobile commerce won't lead to the quick death of plastic cards and must work with existing payment systems that are certified by all major processors and installed in the vast majority of large and small retailers."



Rule #6: "Mobile commerce must be ironclad secure. Security, both real and perceived, is imperative to the adoption and sustainability of mobile commerce. Even minor setbacks in security could compromise consumer adoption and stop the movement in its tracks.



Bergeron's rules are based on years of experience working with retailers to implement payment technologies and adapt to changing security requirements. As the trusted supplier of payment solutions, VeriFone has the ability to work with retailers and service providers in assessing market requirements and integrating existing infrastructure with complex new technologies required to make mobile commerce work smoothly.

What to anticipate Whenever Hiring a Roofing Contractor

When it comes time to correct or replace your roof, it can be a challenging task to locate somebody that is competent for the job. There are many roofing companies available, however the ones who'll perform a congrats for a sensible cost are not often simple to find. If you are in the marketplace for the contractor, make use of the ideas beneath for interviewing as well as employing the right one.

Interview and Consultation

The majority of roofers offer totally free consultations. This is especially important, because it gives them a chance to assess what your roof needs, also it gives you an opportunity to evaluate them. As with all of companies, trust your intuition about the people a person allow upward onto your roof. No matter exactly how great a contractor's status or even suggestion, he or she should start by showing a person having a company greeting card. If the contractor arrives searching as well as talking in an less than professional manner, chances are that the task he is going to perform may also be unprofessional. This isn't to express that you should expect companies to reach in suits. They will be hiking on your roof, therefore the majority of is going to be dressed up in jeans and work footwear or sneakers. If the service provider appears to be interested in speaking on their cell phone while on your homes roof compared to he's within analyzing your own roof's requirements, which may be an additional sign that he's not the main one for the job. For the lawful protection, be certain that the actual service provider has sufficient legal responsibility insurance.

Roofing Evaluation

Anticipate that the service provider is going to be going up in your roof. In fact, any kind of service provider who does not need to go up on your roof to evaluate the issue should be instantly discounted. Those who are seriously interested in their function will possibly make a sketching of the roof's surface and tag trouble spots on it because they go through their assessment, or even they'll consider pictures or video clip of the surface area while they're available online for. This is a very essential action, because it allows you to observe exactly what the troubles are as well as know how they will be set.

Estimation

The next phase will be the created estimation. The contractor will take away their loan calculator and are available track of an itemized estimation. Some contractors goes out to their own vehicle or even van and write down the proposal, while others will crisis the actual numbers for the job in front of you. Once you're because of the proposal, ensure that you comprehend which products will be utilized, how long the job will take and when you will find any extra or even hidden expenses that could occur throughout the repair from the roof. The contractor should be able to solution many of these questions effortlessly and forewarn a person associated with a additional expenses that could be sustained should the roof's ethics end up being broken inside.

Once you have obtained several created estimations from roofers, assess exactly what each organization or contractor is willing to provide for that cost. Do not necessarily discount the greatest bet, simply because sometimes the greatest bid will actually function as the service provider who the job correctly. Also, be wary of prices for bids that are significantly less than other people. They might be utilizing substandard items or be untruthful about the chance of concealed costs. Above all, believe in intuition as well as opt for the actual contractor who makes you feel quite comfy regarding giving more than 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.

If it had been ever uncertain, information acquired through the whistleblower web site, Wikileaks, has verified Chinese federal government worries more than it's continued control of the location this calls Xinjiang, which is also referred to as Eastern Turkestan. The actual leaked out cables from Ough.Utes. diplomats show the actual degree to which Chinese language government bodies attempt to persuade governments globally to consider it's position upon issues impacting Uyghurs. The actual cables also display the actual United States' issues as well as views regarding the on going repressive steps in the area.

Most lighting of Chinese federal government pressure are the wires directed to Chinese anger, or even the specter associated with Chinese language ire, within the discharge of Uyghur detainees within Guantánamo to third countries. A Dec 29, 2008 cable applies how Chinese language Assistant International Reverend Liu Jieyi met using the U.Utes. Ambassador in order to China in order to tone of voice Beijing's powerful opposition of launch in order to any kind of country apart from The far east, and that when the U.Utes. do certainly accede to this ask for it might "avoid harm to bilateral relationships and to cooperation ‘in essential areas'". In addition, the February 2009 cable describes how the Chinese Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Yannian, regarded the feasible release of Uyghur Guantánamo detainees as "an unfavorable act toward us" and a "slap within the face". That the U.Utes. federal government was firm in not really releasing the actual detainees in order to China demonstrates the degree of the politicized nature from the Chinese language judicial system. Genuine issues more than terrorism tend to be easy to understand, but in the U.S. government's observe the detainees might probably face do-it-yourself torture and execution if they came back in order to The far east

Chinese language federal government stress in regard to the Uyghur Guantánamo detainees wasn't only put on the actual U.Utes. federal government, but also in order to New Zealand along with a number of European governments that were considering resettlement. Albania, Indonesia and Finland, as well as European Union fellow member says just about all have the symptoms of paid for the brunt of Chinese language government disappointment. Regarding Germany, that was at first prepared to think about 2 Uyghurs on purely relief grounds, Uyghur Guantánamo instances had been much less better than additional detainees because of the negative effects taking Uyghurs might have upon relationships with China. The May Eight, '09 cable television relates how "German Ambassador Michael Schaefer documented that Germany experienced informed The far east from the U.Utes. request to accept a few Uighur detainees kept from Guantánamo coupled with already been subsequently warned through The far east of ‘a large load upon bilateral relations' in the event that Indonesia were to accept any detainees".

The actual diplomatic wires also talk about the actual unrest within Urumchi, the regional capital, in This summer '09. The This summer Thirteen, '09 cable television discussing bulk occurrences within China states:

"Ethnic riots like those in Xinjiang July 5-7 as well as in Tibet in March of 2008 differ substantially within source as well as nature from bulk occurrences, XXXXXXXXXXXX stressed to PolOff [Political Officer] upon XXXXXXXXXXXX. Both existing severe trouble for the Celebration, XXXXXXXXXXXX said, but the Celebration leadership wouldn't wait to spread out fireplace upon Uighurs or Tibetans if they deemed this necessary to recover order. Bulk incidents pose a different kind of threat, he explained, as the leadership is actually ‘afraid' to fireplace upon Han rioters for fear of causing huge open public outrage that will turn against the Celebration."

This is a chilling viewpoint, particularly when 1 considers evidence presented in two reports released this year through the Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) and Amnesty International that fine detail eyewitness accounts from the utilization of deadly reside fireplace towards Uyghur protestors in July 2009. Additionally, the declaration that fireplace wouldn't be deployed towards Han Chinese language protestors has resonances for that various approach taken by Chinese language protection causes within Urumchi in order to Han Chinese direct orders within Sept '09. Throughout individuals protests, then Party Secretary, Wang Lequan, tackled demonstrators, who had required he let them know about federal government responses to protection issues. A similar request to meet using the Party Secretary by Uyghur protesters in This summer wasn't met.

The actual wider repercussions from the unrest additionally saw a brief discussion about the effect it might possess upon Iran-China relationships, as well as on relationships with Australia following World Uyghur Our elected representatives President, Ms. Rebiya Kadeer, talked at the National Push Club in Canberra in July 2009. In the second option situation, the Chinese government "privately warn[ed] a significant Aussie bank which vendors the National Push Membership to make use of its influence to block a Kadeer speech there".

The actual U . s . States' issues concerning the scenario within the Uyghur area are available through in the cables. In a discussion upon plan direction within Tibet, U.S. officials explain that it will be impossible with regard to Chinese frontrunners to adopt a softer collection "if they look like they are doing so under worldwide pressure". The actual cable television dated 04 16, 2008, 30 days following the outbreak associated with unrest within Tibetan areas, also relayed the declaration "that household stability remains the leadership's top priority above all else, which means there will ‘almost surely' end up being absolutely no relaxation of the present hard line upon Tibet or in locations like Xinjiang." The information included in the cable additionally sheds gentle about the severe sensitivity with which the Chinese government sights territorial integrity, and the feasible spill over of unrest through Tibet.

The chance associated with methods to stress in Tibet as well as Xinjiang as a result of civil society tend to be debated inside a February Twenty-four, 08 cable. While suggesting which China's financial achievement increases its resistance to democratic reform, the cable also talks about how Chinese leaders see the effectiveness associated with "a restricted expansion of civil society, such as improvements in the rule associated with regulation along with a stronger role with regard to approved religions, NGOs, non profit organizations and other actors within areas which bring about sociable balance and do not problem Communist Party guideline." This is a significant alternation in considering, which has observed U.S. officials promote the idea that Chinese economic improvement, as well as financial relations along with China will bring about a progressively democratic society; nevertheless, more faith appears to be put into a grassroots motion than one which begins in the best levels of the Chinese language government. Nonetheless, the cable proves which "[i]n places for example Tibet and Xinjiang, driving a car of separatism results in tight limitations on the development of civil society." This approach can be regarded as counter-productive through the official, that suggests that the actual Ough.S. government "should continue to express...serious issues over Beijing's individual rights report and appeal to China's growing consciousness that greater regard for human rights, spiritual freedom and also the rule associated with regulation assists to promote the improvement as well as sociable stability which The far east seeks in addition to to enhance China's worldwide image." This type of technique would take considerable diplomatic skills thinking about "China's weird fear the Usa secretly promotes routine alter as well as ‘separatists' within Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang".

The wires provide insight into the actual daily business of diplomacy that is rarely afforded to the general public, which is interesting to notice the quantity of function done behind closed doors on Uyghur problems. The significance of the part of the us as a monitor of Uyghur individual privileges problems in private conversations is created obvious, as well as contrasts with its sensible public stance. Employees of the Uyghur Individual Privileges Task is actually comfortable with the pressure china government exerts on Uyghur activists; nevertheless, the details of Chinese language federal government stress upon its alternatives is illustrative from the diploma that Chinese officials attempt to control contradictory stories. With more revelations in the future through Wikileaks, issues over Uyghurs may not grab the actual head lines, but the cables have shed brand new gentle about the documentation of human rights conditions within the Uyghur region.

If it had been actually uncertain, information acquired through the whistleblower website, Wikileaks, has verified Chinese language government fears more than it's ongoing control of the location it calls Xinjiang, which is also referred to as East Turkestan.

The majority of illuminating associated with Chinese government stress are the wires directed to Chinese anger, or even the specter of Chinese ire, within the release of Uyghur detainees in Guantánamo to 3rd nations. The Dec Twenty nine, 2008 cable applies exactly how Chinese language Helper International Minister Liu Jieyi fulfilled using the Ough.S. Ambassador to China to tone of voice Beijing's strong opposition of launch in order to any nation other than China, and that when the Ough.S. did indeed accede to this ask for it might "avoid harm to bilateral relationships and also to co-operation ‘in essential areas'". In addition, a February '09 cable explains the way the Chinese Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Yannian, regarded as the feasible release of Uyghur Guantánamo detainees as "an unfriendly behave towards us" along with a "slap in the face". The Ough.S. government stood firm in not releasing the detainees to The far east illustrates the degree of the politicized nature of the Chinese language judicial program. Legitimate concerns over terrorism are easy to understand, however in the U.S. government's view the detainees might probably encounter do-it-yourself torture and execution if they returned in order to China

Chinese language federal government stress in regard to the Uyghur Guantánamo detainees wasn't just put on the actual Ough.Utes. government, but additionally to Brand new Zealand and a number of Western governments which were thinking about resettlement. Albania, Indonesia and Finland, in addition to European Union fellow member says all have the symptoms of borne the impact of Chinese government disappointment. In the case of Indonesia, which was initially prepared to think about 2 Uyghurs on solely relief reasons, Uyghur Guantánamo cases had been less preferable to other detainees because of the unwanted effects accepting Uyghurs would have on relationships with The far east. A Might Eight, 2009 cable relates exactly how "German Ambassador Michael Schaefer documented which Germany experienced informed China from the Ough.S. ask for to simply accept some Uighur detainees held at Guantánamo coupled with already been subsequently warned by China associated with ‘a heavy load upon bilateral relations' if Germany had been to accept any kind of detainees".

The actual diplomatic wires also talk about the actual unrest in Urumchi, the actual regional capital, in July 2009. The This summer 13, 2009 cable talking about mass occurrences in The far east says:

"Ethnic riots like those in Xinjiang This summer 5-7 and in Tibet within 03 of 08 vary markedly in source and nature through mass incidents, XXXXXXXXXXXX stressed to PolOff [Political Officer] upon XXXXXXXXXXXX. Both present serious problems for the Celebration, XXXXXXXXXXXX stated, but the Celebration management wouldn't wait to spread out fire on Uighurs or Tibetans when they deemed this essential to restore purchase. Mass incidents present a different type of risk, he explained, since the management is ‘afraid' to fireplace upon Han rioters for anxiety about causing massive public outrage that would turn from the Party."

This can be a relaxing opinion, especially when one considers evidence offered in two reviews launched this year through the Uyghur Individual Rights Task (UHRP) as well as Amnesty Worldwide that detail eyewitness accounts from the utilization of lethal reside fire towards Uyghur protestors within This summer 2009. Additionally, the declaration which fire would not be deployed against Han Chinese language protestors has resonances for that different strategy used through Chinese security forces within Urumchi in order to Han Chinese direct orders in Sept '09. During those direct orders, after that Party Secretary, Wang Lequan, tackled demonstrators, who had required he let them know regarding federal government responses to protection issues. An identical request to satisfy using the Party Assistant through Uyghur protesters within July wasn't met.

The actual broader repercussions from the unrest additionally noticed a brief discussion about the impact it would possess on Iran-China relations, as well as on relations with Sydney after World Uyghur Our elected representatives President, Microsoft. Rebiya Kadeer, talked in the National Press Club within Canberra within August 2009. In the second option case, the Chinese federal government "privately warn[ed] a major Australian bank which sponsors the National Push Membership to use its influence to bar the Kadeer speech there".

The U . s . States' concerns concerning the situation in the Uyghur region also come via in the wires. Inside a discussion on policy path within Tibet, Ough.S. officials clarify that it will end up being impossible with regard to Chinese frontrunners to consider a much softer line "if they look like they are doing so under worldwide pressure". The actual cable television dated 04 16, 2008, one month following the episode of unrest within Tibetan areas, additionally relayed the actual declaration "that household stability remains the leadership's main concern above all else, meaning there'll ‘almost surely' be absolutely no relaxation of the present hard collection on Tibet or in places like Xinjiang." The info contained in the cable also storage sheds gentle about the severe sensitivity that china government sights territorial integrity, and the feasible spill more than associated with unrest from Tibet.

The prospect associated with methods to stress in Tibet as well as Xinjiang arising from civil culture are debated in a Feb Twenty-four, 2008 cable.

Nonetheless, the cable proves which "[i]n areas such as Tibet as well as Xinjiang, driving a car of separatism results in tighter restrictions about the development of civil culture." This method can be regarded as counter-productive through the official, that shows that the actual U.Utes. federal government "should continue to express...serious issues more than Beijing's human rights report as well as attract China's developing consciousness which higher regard with regard to individual rights, spiritual independence and the rule of law assists to advertise the development and sociable stability that China looks for as well as to enhance China's worldwide picture." Such a strategy would take substantial diplomatic skills considering "China's weird fear the Usa privately promotes regime change and ‘separatists' within Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang".

The actual cables provide understanding of the actual daily business associated with diplomacy that's hardly ever afforded to everyone, which is fascinating to note the amount of work carried out nowadays on Uyghur problems. The significance of the actual part of the United States like a monitor of Uyghur individual privileges problems in personal conversations is created clear, and contrasts with its tactful public stance.

Portraits of Uyghurs

In the center of the desert landscapes of Taklamakan, in the northern-western part of China, the province of Xinjiang is the least populated province while it covers near to a sixth with the country's area. Having resisted while in generations the Han Chinese control, Xinjiang, or Old East Turkistan, fell into under the Chinese Han domination in 1949. From then, its population is mainly Uyghurs and Turkic - speaking System.

Islamic primarily, the Uyghurs have a very good religious identity that, in specific, enabled them to preserve a strong big difference in opposition to the Chinese enemy. Certainly, the Uyghur Empire of Mongolia knew a amazing civilization, until its absorption by the Mongolian Empire in the XIIIth century.

While in their own background, 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., as a result beginning the way to the Islamization of the whole Central Asia.

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

The coming of Islam was a great change mainly because it was accompanied by the absorption of the Uyghur areas in the enormous Turkic and Muslim Empire. Thus, the descendants of Genghis Khan progressively replaced their writing by a Arabo-Persan alphabet, still used nowadays.

If their own writing, their own language and their religion mark a real difference with the tradition of Chinese Han, Uyghur People also differ from their aspect, so aspect of Central Asia's people. A matt skin, eyes representing a whole pallet of colors, from black to deep blue, features going 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 8 million inhabitants - a little for this particular immense land. Therefore, the Uyghurs are now part of the fifty six racial minority groups having been well-known in an official way by China.

This statute allows these people a few rights in a land where their big difference is very often repressed. Thus, Uyghur people escape the "single child policy" and their language is accepted as the second official language in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The integration of the Uyghur people and their culture in the People's Republic of China, however, seems pretty illusory. The presence of natural resources in Xinjiang, and its area with locations identified as very sensitive, clearly encouraged the government to accelerate the sinicization of this area. Million of Han thus came to settle in this new Chinese eldorado, monopolizing the higher responsibility work opportunities.

In reaction 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 freedom, but specially the acceptance of their true identity, this movement was severely repressed by the power authorities in place Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The situations 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 population continues today to proudly keep up their identity and their ethnic heritage , though they become a minority on their own land.

Money Making Schemes

There's plenty of blame to go around! I have been a "quit your job!" evangelist. I have hustled entrepreneurism in magazines; we even run a quit yer job column right here (and there's a good interview coming later today!). I have a great rationale for this position: it is that working conditions have turned to a state of serious suck over the last decade and many employers have demonstrated that they don't give a flying fig about workers, and the only way to even consider retirement in the future is either on your own dime or on the streets.

So yes, do it! And but also… The air in this bubble isn't being recycled very well. The biosphere is a little stinky! No offense to a smart little idea, but LaunchRock is what did me in, and now the NYC Startup Bus is driving over my soul on its way to SXSW.

LaunchRock is a startup that services startups with a jazzy signup-for-beta-invite page and… no, wait, that's it! LaunchRock is incredibly useful, in that you can keep track of all the startups that are about to startup! Like Elephant. What could it be? WHO KNOWS, let's sign up. I hope it's for dream journalling! Social networked dream journalling, man, I would almost pay money for that.

And if you're not glued to the live updates from the Startup Bus that is on its way to Austin, you are missing out. They are starting startups on the startup bus! It's been a tough morning, clearly:

8:57 a.m. — Buspreneurs are pitching their startup ideas, and other buspreneurs are trying to shoot them down. "The whole bar trivia thing isn't really monetized yet."

You know what I wish someone would start-up for me? A widget that would autorefresh that page in a window every 10 minutes so that I don't miss a single absurd word.

There's still good news about the bubble. Like, all my friends are going to get insane money to run their companies. Let's hope some of them show a return! There's going to be nothing sadder than a bunch of 34-year-olds that have given up and been worn down, wearing their kryptonite neck-irons of expansive bubble burn-rate in the isolation of their grey office cubicles.

Let's hope they remember the fun of the crazy times! We're living in a world where venture capitalists have the time to write blog posts about how to write email subject lines that will get them to open your email due to them not having any time.

Even the most zealous haven't forgotten that something killed the dinosaurs, is what the people who are down on this fun little segment of upturn say. Terrorism, swine flu 2.0, war, a derivatives market disaster, the elimination of government-run services, President Palin, something something China, all the palladium gets mined, Google gets MySpaced—who can tell in advance? The fun thing about our modern age is that the meteor is always already about to hit the roof of the bubble, it's just not identifiable until afterwards (hello, Nevada's housing market!), when we're picking up the pieces and working at Walgreen's.

Or you know what else might happen? Nothing! People might just keep making money in one company out of eight or whatever, and everything just shuffles along. The free market, baby.

All that being said, I bet if you wanted to put a little money into a smart and successful editorial company, drop me an email, I bet we could work something out. Couldn't we? While the incubators and angels are awesome—low-cost, high-adventure quotient, great schemes—the real future of startups isn't investment money. It's very little money, because the person with the big checkbook actually almost always turns out to be your boss.

Part of the whole "sweetheart deal" arrangement with the Saudis was that, in exchange for extracting their oil, that US companies like Halliburton would build their cities to modern standards. Now, they did a good job, no doubt about that; the quality of the construction is excellent. But the whole arrangement, top to bottom, was oriented around using American companies to provide as many services as possible. We extracted their oil, we provided financial services, we did their construction, we absorbed their investment money into Wall Street. Saudi Arabia, more than any other country in the world, is the creation of the US oil elite.



I didn't read about this on the Web, so I don't have a direct link for you. My primary source is Tales of an Economic Hitman, which was an amazing book. Conservatives hate it, and savage it mercilessly, but I've done my own research on many of his claims, and I found excellent backing for his belief that we have, by and large, used debt as a weapon to assimilate poor countries worldwide.



In country after country throughout the world, we promised too much economic growth, and overbuilt their infrastructure, knowingly putting them into debt that their economies couldn't service. This eventually destroyed their middle class, throwing most of the population into permanent poverty, and putting a hyper-elite into permanent power. This gives us immense leverage over these countries; in exchange for some debt relief, we can get amazing rates on new resource deals. Further, we can also get them to do nearly anything we want, including voting the way we wish in the U.N.



When you look at resource-rich countries all over the world, if the US has been deeply involved there, it's very rare for the population to be doing at all well. There will almost always be a hyper-wealthy, corrupt elite, and a huge population of, essentially, chattel.



The Saudis, being so much richer than the other resource countries, couldn't be put into debt the same way, but we nonetheless arranged things so that a very few people had direct control over the immense oil revenues, and the typical corruption and nepotism took over there as it has almost everywhere else.



This is part of why I'm so terrified of what's happening with the national budget in this country; I believe that the same primary weapon (lack of understanding of the toxicity of long-term government debt) is being turned by the same corporations that benefited in the third world against the American people that birthed them.



Read Tales of an Economic Hitman, and do your own research. I think you'll find it holds up exceedingly well.

Making Money Uk

As an IPO looms, Skype is looking for new revenue streams that will help continue its growth and improve its financial prospects. Monday, it unveiled the next big revenue generator: ads on its Skype Windows desktop client.

Skype said in a blog post Monday it will begin rolling out test ads in the U.S., U.K. and Germany this week from big brands including Groupon, Universal Pictures, and Visa. The ads, which will be adjusted over time, will appear in the home tab of the Skype client at the top of the application. In an attempt to preserve the user experience, the ads will be limited, so users will only see one brand a day. Skype said it won’t use pop-ups, but will try to target ads to users to make them relevant using non-personally identifiable demographic data. Users can opt-out of those targeted ads if they choose. Skype said it has already tested some ads with Rdio.

The move to advertising has been tossed around for a long time and actually seems a bit overdue. Skype said it is almost wholly reliant on SkypeOut revenue, which made up 86 percent of its $860 million in revenue last year, according to its updated S-1 filing. Skype knows it needs to diversify its revenue if it wants to grow and have the money to invest in new features, and it needs the money to keep Skype-to-Skype calls free. By tapping advertising as a new revenue stream, it can ease its over-reliance on SkypeOut, which the company identified as a risk factor.

Skype recently announced it has hit 29 million concurrent users, and said in its S-1 that its overall user base is up to 663 million. It has a lot of people communicating, increasingly through video, which makes up 42 percent of calls. It’s an expensive setup, but it’s also a great opportunity for advertising. Fortune last year reported that Skype could rake in $200 million from advertising, especially for video chats, which could host ads alongside the chat. Overall, Skype said its users made 207 billion minutes of Skype-to-Skype calls last year. All that engagement can be monetized well if done with some restraint.

That seems to be Skype’s main concern with advertising. The company said it is moving slowly because it believes the user experience is paramount. And it’s still not clear to Skype how big an opportunity it has on its hands. Here’s the important language from the S-1:

…it is still uncertain what level of revenues can be generated through advertising. Furthermore, we may face difficulty in successfully implementing advertising on certain platforms, such as mobile devices. Finally, our users may respond negatively to receiving advertisements through their Skype software client, which could negatively and materially affect user engagement, our Skype brand and our results of operations.

Skype said in addition to advertising, it will ramp up its enterprise efforts and is also looking at gaming and virtual goods as other potential revenue sources. The advertising effort is Windows-only for now, but if all goes well and Skype avoids an uproar, expect it to appear on Mac and mobile platform as well.

For all its success, Skype is still in need of some revenue diversification. It’s getting there with these ads, which should slowly beef up revenues. A rumored deal with Facebook to provide video chat could also provide some oomph with a boost of new users. Look for more announcements as the Skype money-making machine starts to crank into high gear.

Is There a Traffic Bubble, Or Does The New York Times Have an Inefficient Capital Structure?

As I hope my family can attest, I made a great point over dinner a couple of weeks ago about how the New York Times is clearly undervalued vis-a-vis various internet stocks. The NYT’s not an “internet company” but it does run one of the world’s most popular websites. Then I forgot all about it. But via Ezra Klein, I have a chance to revisit the point via Frédéric Filloux contention that we’re experiencing a web traffic bubble:

About 35% of the HuffPo’s users come form Google. They land on cleverly optimized content: stories borrowed from other (and consenting) medias that mostly generate blogging and comments. This is the machine that drove 28m unique visitors in January, which makes the HuffPo close to the New York Times/Herald Tribune audience of 30m UV. With one key difference: each viewer of the NYT websites yields an ARPU of $11, ten times more than the Arianna thing. Based on the HuffPo’s valuation, the NYT Digital would be worth billions. That’s a consolation.

You can think of some rational reasons for Huffington Post to get a premium over the NYT, related to HuffPo’s more favorable labor cost structure. You can also assume they’re getting a certain AOL desperation premium.

But is the basic thesis that the NYT should be worth a ton of money really so absurd? It’s an iconic global brand whose main competition as an iconic serious English-language global media brand is owned by the UK government. The New York Times Company currently has a market capitalization of about $1.5 billion and if their P/E ratio were at the S&P 500 average, it would in fact be worth “billions” right now. So why isn’t it? If I’m so smart why don’t the markets agree? Well, it’s a family controlled company with a two-tier stock structure. There’s got to be some reason most firms aren’t organized this way, and presumably the reason is that you pay a penalty in terms of the price of your equity. That’s a price the Sulzberger family has historically been willing to pay in order to preserve the family’s control over the iconic brand in question—they’ve viewed staying involved and maintaining their vision of the paper’s mission as important enough to weigh against some more narrowly commercial considerations. That seems like a sensible view to me, but it’s also sensible for investors to penalize them for it.

Recall that when Carlos Slim was given the opportunity to make an unorthodox investment in the NYT he wound up making a bunch of money.
