Making Money With Youtube

Another day, another honking big funding for another online start-up (and yet another broken embargo too!).

It’s like Groundhog Day in Silicon Valley as usual.

Today, Cambridge, Mass.-based HubSpot wins tech’s version of the lottery, grabbing $32 million from Sequoia Capital, Google Ventures and also Salesforce.com.

It is unclear what the valuation for HubSpot is now, although it is likely high given it has raised $65 million now.

HubSpot makes marketing software for businesses, who use it to find prospects and generate leads, along with tools to analyze the process. It claims it has “4,000 customers, over 50 percent market share, five million leads managed, and 70 million page views tracked monthly.”

The Series D financing included HubSpot’s existing venture investors–General Catalyst Partners, Matrix Partners, and Scale Venture Partners–and part of it will be used to cash out existing shareholders. In previous rounds, the start-up has raised $33 million.

Here is the official press release:

Sequoia, Google Ventures, and Salesforce.com Invest $32 Million in HubSpot

Marketing Software Company Attracts New Strategic Investors

CAMBRIDGE, MA–(Marketwire – March 8, 2011)–Today, for the first time ever, Sequoia Capital, Google Ventures and Salesforce.com all invested together in one company, providing HubSpot with a Series D round of financing through a $32 million investment. HubSpot provides all-in-one marketing software used by over 4,000 businesses to get found by more prospects, convert them into leads and sales, and analyze the entire marketing process.

“The fundamental way that people shop, learn, and buy has changed radically in the last few years. HubSpot helps transform the way businesses market from outbound marketing (cold calls, email blasts, and direct mail) to inbound marketing (Google, blogs, social media, mobile, etc.),” said Brian Halligan, co-founder and CEO of HubSpot.

Sequoia Capital has a long history of partnering with founders to help them build long-term, multi-billion dollar companies, including Google, LinkedIn, AdMob, YouTube, Yahoo!, Apple, and Oracle. “We back companies that are transforming their industries,” said Jim Goetz, General Partner at Sequoia Capital. “HubSpot is the emerging category leader in the SaaS marketing sector. Their customer base exceeds that of all the other relevant marketing software companies combined, including Eloqua, Marketo, Genius, and Manticore.”

“Today, every company needs to succeed in search, social, sales, and marketing–I can’t think of a more powerful trifecta than Google, Salesforce.com, and HubSpot. With 4,000 customers, HubSpot is already a clear marketing leader–now, with this new infusion of capital and recognition by Google’s venture arm and Salesforce.com, HubSpot has a great opportunity to separate itself from the pack and become the leading marketing platform in the small and medium business space,” said Brent Leary, co-founder of CRM Essentials.

Google Ventures Partner, Rich Miner (formerly co-founder of Android) said, “We agree with HubSpot’s belief that search engines, social media, and mobile devices have fundamentally changed how businesses should market themselves. We’re thrilled to support their efforts to help thousands of small and medium businesses reach potential customers.”

Dharmesh Shah, co-founder and CTO of HubSpot commented, “We founded the company based on a simple premise: Businesses want an easy-to-use, complete and integrated marketing platform that helps them get more leads and customers. We plan to use this new capital to further invest in this ambitious vision and further our existing lead in the marketing software category.”

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.

Editor’s Note: Jim Dalrymple has been writing about Apple for more than 15 years. You can follow him on Twitter @jdalrymple and on his Web site at The Loop.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs on Wednesday introduced the iPad 2 at a special event in San Francisco, taking even more momentum away from its competitors.

I’ve had a lot of people in the last 24 hours tell me that the iPad 2 isn’t as revolutionary as the first generation device. Yes, that’s true. But not every device a company releases has to be or can be revolutionary.

Apple has released three revolutionary products in the last decade alone: iPod, iPhone and iPad. I really can’t think of any products from Apple’s competitors that fit in the revolutionary category in that same time period.

People also said that Apple wasn’t very forthcoming with the specs of the iPad 2. Again, that’s true, but there’s a good reason for that—nobody cares.

Well, some people care. Those of us who are geeks care about specs. However, have you ever noticed that when you sit with your non-geek friends and start listing off specs their eyes glaze over and they rest their chin in their hand.

That’s because they couldn’t care less.

The iPad 2 is no slouch either. It lost one-third of the thickness of the previous generation, and therefore it is one-third less than the size of the iPad competitors too. It also has new technologies like a gyro built-in that will launch another round of cool apps.

Yesterday’s iPad 2 announcement wasn’t about the geeks—it was about all the other people who will buy an iPad. What those people want to know is “what can I do with it?”

If it fits into their lifestyle, most people are good with that. Apple showed many ways how the iPad 2 can fit into your lifestyle.

From the very beginning, Apple was very smart with how it marketed the iPad. The first thing it did was get the device into businesses and promote the fact that it could be used to get work done. And it was quite successful with that.

In an analyst call in October 2010, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer said the iPad was already being used in 65 percent of Fortune 100 companies. That was four months ago and the iPad has grown since then, so we can only imagine where that number is now.

This strategy allowed Apple to do two things. If it came out with the iPad and pushed the gaming capabilities of the device, the business world would have looked at it as a toy. That would have certainly meant slower adoption. It also allowed them to work on some consumer software, two of which we saw yesterday.

In addition to the iPad 2, Jobs also unveiled iMovie and GarageBand for the iPad. This is what people want to know about—what can I do with the iPad that’s exciting and new.

Obviously, creating movies and being able to edit and share them with friends and family is a very popular thing to do these days. iMovie makes that easy.

Creating music, whether a novice or pro is also a cool thing to do. GarageBand is a great app to get that done and you can move your projects to your Mac and continue working on them.

It’s not just about the hardware. Apple delivers the whole experience that nobody else can. Jobs said yesterday that there are 65,000 apps on its App Store specifically designed for the iPad. That’s a lot of things you can do.

If you think Apple’s competitors are jumping for joy because the iPad 2 isn’t revolutionary, I believe you are wrong. I think they’re scared. Yesterday, they figured out Apple’s strategy too, but a little too late.

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!

The Found Animals Foundation is an LA-based non-profit devoted to saving the lives of animals and solving the problem of animal overpopulation. Founded by Dr. Gary Michelson, a billionaire entrepreneur with a lifelong love of animals, Found Animals blends compassion with innovation and business sense. The organization does everything from working with local shelters to finding homes for strays to offering multi-million dollar incentives for research on animal sterilization.

The foundation will be opening its first ever "Adopt and Shop" retail space next month, so we caught up with Aimee Gilbreath, Executive Director of Found Animals, to find out a little bit more about the foundation, its goals, and LA's newest "pet shop."

HP: What is Found Animals most committed to?

AG: Our mission at Found Animals is to minimize the number of pets killed in animal shelters. We believe that our society, in the 21st century, can do far better than killing 4 million animals each year at a cost to taxpayers of over $2 billion annually. We look for innovative, entrepreneurial approaches to solving this problem. Over the past three years we have built a world class team of business and science professionals and launched programs that include sterilization, microchipping, owner support, adoption and more. Found Animals considers Los Angeles our test market for programs with plans to export successful ideas.

HP: What is the one thing you are most proud of that Found Animals has been able to accomplish?

AG: I’m most proud of our accomplishments with the Michelson Prize and Grant program. It’s our own version of the X-Prize and offers $25 million in prize money for creating a low cost non-surgical sterilant for use in cats and dogs. In addition, we are offering up to $50 million in grant funding to help researchers develop a prize winning technology. Sterilization is one of the best tools we have in our arsenal to reduce the number of unwanted pets that crowd the shelter system and overwhelm available resources. Unfortunately, current surgical spay/neuter approaches are expensive and often difficult to access for the pets and people who need them most. A “doggie Depo Provera” or “Kitty Norplant” type of product would revolutionize how we manage the pet population.

We created the program from scratch and its world class. Our Director of Scientific Research, Dr. Shirley Johnston, is world renowned in small animal reproduction and our Scientific Advisory Board is comprised of experts in many fields. Our program staff has created a fantastic grant process and we do outreach to scientists worldwide. So far we’ve received over 140 grant applications and a dozen projects have been approved for funding totaling over $5 million.

What to anticipate Whenever Getting a Roofing Contractors

When it comes time to repair or even substitute your homes roof, it can be a challenging task to find someone who is actually qualified to do the job. There are lots of roofing contractors out there, however the ones who will do a great job for any reasonable price aren't frequently simple to find. If you're in the marketplace for a service provider, make use of the tips beneath for meeting with as well as employing the right one.

Job interview as well as Consultation

The majority of roofing companies offer totally free consultation services. This is particularly essential, because it gives them an opportunity to evaluate exactly what your roof requirements, and it provides you with a chance to assess them. As with all companies, believe in instincts about the individuals you allow up on your roofing. No issue exactly how great the contractor's reputation or recommendation, he ought to start by showing a person with a business card. If the service provider occurs searching as well as talking within an unprofessional manner, most likely the task he is going to perform will also be unprofessional. This isn't to say that you should expect contractors to reach within fits. They is going to be hiking in your roof, so most is going to be dressed in jeans and work footwear or sneakers. If the actual contractor seems to be interested in speaking on his mobile phone while on your homes roof compared to he's within analyzing your own roof's requirements, that may be an additional sign that he's not the main one for the job. For your legal safety, be certain that the actual service provider offers sufficient legal responsibility insurance coverage.

Roofing Evaluation

Expect that the contractor is going to be going up in your roofing. Actually, any service provider who does not need to increase on your roofing to judge the problem ought to be instantly reduced. Those who're seriously interested in their function may possibly create a drawing of the roof's surface as well as mark problem areas onto it because they go through their own assessment, or they'll take pictures or even video of the surface while they're up there. This is an extremely important action, since it allows you to see just what the troubles are and understand how they will be fixed.

Estimation

The next step would be the written estimate. The contractor will take out his loan calculator and are available up with a written estimation. Some contractors goes to their own truck or even van and write up the proposal, while some may crisis the amounts to do the job in front of you. Once you are given the suggestion, make sure that you understand exactly which items is going to be used, just how long the job will take and when you will find any extra or even hidden expenses that could occur during the repair of the roofing. The service provider should be able to answer many of these questions effortlessly as well as forewarn you associated with a extra costs that could be sustained if the roof's ethics end up being broken inside.

Once you have obtained several written estimates from roofers, evaluate exactly what every organization or even service provider is willing to offer you for the price. Do not necessarily discount the greatest bid, because sometimes the greatest bid will in reality function as the contractor who does the task properly. Also, be wary associated with bids which are not nearly as expensive others. They may be utilizing inferior products or perhaps be unethical about the chance of hidden expenses. Most importantly, trust your instincts and go with the actual contractor that enables you to feel quite comfortable 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.

Wikileaks and the Uyghur

by henry upon December 20, 2010
Henryk Szadziewski, Manager, Uyghur Human Rights Project

Whether it had been ever in doubt, info obtained by the whistleblower website, Wikileaks, has verified Chinese government fears more than its continued control of the region this calls Xinjiang, also is known as East Turkestan. The actual leaked cables from Ough.S. diplomats demonstrate the actual extent to which Chinese authorities make an effort to convince governments worldwide to consider it's stance on problems impacting Uyghurs. The wires additionally display the actual U . s . States' issues as well as views regarding the ongoing repressive measures in the region.

Most lighting of Chinese federal government pressure would be the cables pointing to Chinese language frustration, or the specter of Chinese language ire, over the discharge of Uyghur detainees within Guantánamo to third countries. The December Twenty nine, 2008 cable applies how Chinese language Helper Foreign Minister Liu Jieyi fulfilled with the Ough.S. Ambassador in order to The far east to voice Beijing's strong opposition associated with release to any kind of country apart from China, and that when the Ough.S. did indeed accede for this request it would "avoid injury to bilateral relations and to co-operation ‘in essential areas'". Furthermore, a February 2009 cable television explains the way the Chinese Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Yannian, regarded as the possible discharge of Uyghur Guantánamo detainees because "an unfriendly act towards us" along with a "slap within the face". That the Ough.S. government was company in not really releasing the actual detainees in order to The far east illustrates the actual extent from the politicized character from the Chinese judicial system.

The diplomatic wires additionally discuss the unrest in Urumchi, the regional funds, in This summer '09. A July Thirteen, 2009 cable television discussing mass incidents in The far east says:

"Ethnic riots like those who work in Xinjiang July 5-7 and in Tibet in March of 2008 differ substantially in source and nature from bulk occurrences, XXXXXXXXXXXX stressed in order to PolOff [Political Officer] upon XXXXXXXXXXXX. Both present severe problems for the actual Party, XXXXXXXXXXXX stated, however the Party leadership would not hesitate to spread out fireplace upon Uighurs or Tibetans if they considered it necessary to recover purchase. Mass occurrences present another type of risk, he said, since the management is actually ‘afraid' to fireplace upon Han rioters with regard to anxiety about causing huge open public outrage that will change from the Celebration."

This is a relaxing opinion, particularly when one considers evidence offered in two reviews launched this season by the Uyghur Human Rights Task (UHRP) and Amnesty International which detail eyewitness company accounts from the utilization of lethal live fireplace against Uyghur protestors within July 2009. In addition, the declaration which fire wouldn't be deployed against Han Chinese protestors has resonances for that various strategy used by Chinese language security causes within Urumchi in order to Han Chinese language direct orders within September '09. During individuals protests, after that Party Assistant, Wang Lequan, tackled demonstrators, that had demanded that he inform them regarding government reactions to security concerns. A similar request to satisfy using the Party Secretary through Uyghur demonstrators in This summer was not met.

The actual wider consequences from the unrest also saw a brief dialogue on the effect it might have upon Iran-China relations, and on relationships along with Sydney following Globe Uyghur Our elected representatives President, Microsoft. Rebiya Kadeer, spoke at the Nationwide Press Club in Canberra within July 2009. Within the latter situation, china federal government "privately warn[ed] a major Aussie financial institution that vendors the nation's Push Club to use it's influence to block a Kadeer speech there".

The United States' issues concerning the scenario within the Uyghur region are available through within the wires. In a discussion upon plan direction in Tibet, Ough.S. officials clarify that it'll be impossible with regard to Chinese leaders to adopt the much softer collection "if they look like doing this under worldwide pressure".

The info included in the cable television also storage sheds light on the extreme sensitivity with which the Chinese government views territorial integrity, and also the possible drip more than associated with unrest through Tibet.

The prospect of methods to stress in Tibet as well as Xinjiang as a result of civil culture are debated inside a February Twenty-four, 08 cable television. While recommending that China's economic achievement will increase its resistance to democratic reform, the cable also discusses exactly how Chinese frontrunners begin to see the usefulness of "a restricted expansion associated with civil culture, such as improvements in the guideline associated with regulation and a stronger role for approved religions, NGOs, non profit organizations along with other actors within places that contribute to sociable balance and do not problem Communist Party rule." This can be a notable alternation in considering, that has observed Ough.Utes. authorities promote the notion which Chinese financial development, and financial relationships along with China brings in regards to a progressively democratic culture; nevertheless, more belief seems to be put into the grassroots movement compared to one that begins from the top levels of the Chinese language federal government. Nevertheless, the actual cable concludes which "[i]n places such as Tibet and Xinjiang, the fear associated with separatism leads to tight limitations on the development of municipal society."

Such a technique might consider considerable diplomatic skills thinking about "China's weird concern the Usa privately encourages routine change and ‘separatists' in Taiwan, Tibet as well as Xinjiang".

The cables provide insight into the every day company associated with diplomacy that is hardly ever owned by everyone, and it is interesting to notice the amount of function carried out behind closed doors upon Uyghur issues. The significance of the actual role of the United States as a keep track of of Uyghur individual privileges conditions within personal discussions is created obvious, and contrasts using its sensible open public stance. The staff from the Uyghur Individual Rights Task is actually comfortable with the pressure china federal government puts upon Uyghur activists; nevertheless, the details associated with Chinese language government stress upon it's counterparts is illustrative from the degree that Chinese authorities make an effort to suppress contrary narratives. With increased revelations in the future through Wikileaks, issues over Uyghurs may not grab the actual headlines, however the cables possess shed brand new gentle about the documentation associated with individual privileges problems within the Uyghur region.

 

Wikileaks and the Uyghur People

by henry upon Dec 20, This year
Henryk Szadziewski, Manager, Uyghur Human Rights Project

If it were actually in doubt, info obtained by the whistleblower website, Wikileaks, offers confirmed Chinese federal government fears more than it's ongoing charge of the region it phone calls Xinjiang, also is referred to as Eastern Turkestan. The actual leaked wires through Ough.Utes. diplomats show the extent to which Chinese government bodies make an effort to convince government authorities globally to consider its stance upon problems impacting Uyghurs. The actual cables also show the actual United States' concerns and sights regarding the ongoing repressive measures in the region.

The majority of illuminating of Chinese federal government pressure would be the cables directed to Chinese frustration, or even the specter of Chinese language ire, within the discharge of Uyghur detainees in Guantánamo to 3rd countries. A Dec 29, 2008 cable television applies how Chinese Helper Foreign Reverend Liu Jieyi fulfilled using the Ough.S. Ambassador in order to The far east to tone of voice Beijing's strong competitors of release to any nation apart from China, and that when the U.S. do indeed accede for this ask for it would "avoid injury to bilateral relationships and also to co-operation ‘in important areas'". In addition, the Feb 2009 cable describes the way the Chinese Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Yannian, regarded as the actual feasible discharge of Uyghur Guantánamo detainees because "an unfriendly act towards us" along with a "slap in the face". That the U.Utes. government stood company within not releasing the detainees in order to China demonstrates the actual degree from the politicized nature of the Chinese judicial program. Genuine concerns over terrorism tend to be easy to understand, but in the Ough.Utes. government's view the detainees would most likely face do-it-yourself torture and delivery if they came back to The far east

Chinese federal government stress in regard to the Uyghur Guantánamo detainees wasn't only put on the actual Ough.Utes. federal government, but also in order to New Zealand along with a number of Western governments which were considering resettlement. Albania, Indonesia as well as Finland, in addition to European Union fellow member says all appear to have borne the impact associated with Chinese language government unhappiness. In the case of Germany, that was at first prepared to consider two Uyghurs on purely humanitarian reasons, Uyghur Guantánamo cases were less better than other detainees because of the unwanted effects taking Uyghurs might have on relations along with The far east. A May Eight, 2009 cable relates how "German Ambassador Erina Schaefer reported that Germany experienced informed The far east from the U.S. request to accept a few Uighur detainees kept from Guantánamo coupled with already been subsequently warned by China associated with ‘a large burden upon bilateral relations' in the event that Indonesia had been to accept any kind of detainees".

The diplomatic wires additionally discuss the unrest in Urumchi, the actual local capital, in This summer '09. The This summer Thirteen, 2009 cable discussing bulk incidents in China states:

"Ethnic riots such as those who work in Xinjiang July 5-7 as well as in Tibet within March associated with 08 vary substantially within origin and character through mass incidents, XXXXXXXXXXXX stressed in order to PolOff [Political Officer] on XXXXXXXXXXXX. Both existing serious trouble for the actual Party, XXXXXXXXXXXX stated, however the Celebration leadership wouldn't hesitate to spread out fireplace upon Uighurs or Tibetans when they considered this essential to restore order. Bulk occurrences pose a different type of threat, he said, since the leadership is ‘afraid' to fireplace on Han rioters with regard to fear of causing huge public outrage that will change against the Party."

This can be a chilling opinion, particularly when 1 considers evidence presented by 50 percent reviews launched this year by the Uyghur Human Rights Task (UHRP) and Amnesty Worldwide that detail eyewitness accounts of the use of deadly live fire against Uyghur protestors within July '09. Additionally, the observation which fireplace wouldn't be deployed against Han Chinese language protestors has resonances for the various strategy used by Chinese language security forces in Urumchi to Han Chinese direct orders in Sept 2009. During those direct orders, after that Celebration Assistant, Wang Lequan, tackled protesters, that had demanded that he inform them regarding federal government reactions in order to security issues. An identical request to meet with the Party Secretary through Uyghur demonstrators in July wasn't met.

The wider consequences of the unrest also noticed a brief discussion on the impact it might possess on Iran-China relationships, as well as on relationships with Sydney after Globe Uyghur Our elected representatives Leader, Ms. Rebiya Kadeer, spoke at the National Press Membership in Canberra within July '09. Within the second option case, the Chinese government "privately warn[ed] a major Australian bank which vendors the National Push Membership to make use of its impact to bar the Kadeer talk there".

The actual U . s . States' issues concerning the situation within the Uyghur area also come through within the cables. In a dialogue on plan path within Tibet, Ough.Utes. authorities clarify that it will end up being impossible for Chinese leaders to consider a softer line "if they appear like doing this under worldwide pressure". The cable out dated 04 Sixteen, 2008, 30 days following the outbreak of unrest within Tibetan areas, additionally relayed the observation "that household stability continues to be leadership's top priority above all else, which means there'll ‘almost surely' be no rest of the current difficult line upon Tibet or in places like Xinjiang." The info contained in the cable television additionally sheds gentle on the severe sensitivity with which china government views territorial integrity, and also the possible spill more than of unrest through Tibet.

The prospect associated with methods to tensions in Tibet as well as Xinjiang as a result of municipal society are debated in a Feb Twenty-four, 08 cable television. Whilst recommending which China's economic achievement will increase it's potential to deal with democratic reform, the cable also discusses how Chinese frontrunners see the usefulness associated with "a limited growth associated with civil society, such as enhancements in the rule of regulation along with a more powerful part with regard to approved religions, NGOs, non profit organizations and other actors in places that contribute to social balance and don't problem Communist Celebration guideline." This is a significant alternation in considering, that has seen U.Utes. officials market the notion that Chinese economic development, as well as economic relationships along with China brings about a steadily democratic society; nevertheless, more belief appears to be put into the grassroots movement compared to one which begins in the top levels of the Chinese government. Nonetheless, the cable proves that "[i]n areas for example Tibet and Xinjiang, driving a car associated with separatism results in tight restrictions on the growth of municipal society." This method is viewed as counter-productive through the recognized, that shows that the actual U.Utes. government "should still express...serious concerns more than Beijing's human privileges report as well as appeal to China's growing awareness that higher respect with regard to human privileges, spiritual independence and also the rule of law assists to promote the very development as well as social balance which The far east looks for in addition to to improve China's international image." This type of strategy would take substantial diplomatic abilities thinking about "China's weird fear the United States secretly encourages routine change and ‘separatists' in Taiwan, Tibet as well as Xinjiang".

The actual cables provide insight into the actual every day business of diplomacy that is hardly ever owned by everyone, which is fascinating to notice the quantity of function carried out behind closed doors upon Uyghur problems.

Little about the Uyghurs

In the middle of the desert landscapes of Taklamakan, in the north-west part of China, the province of Xinjiang is a least populated land whereas it covers close to a sixth of the nation's area. Getting resisted while in hundreds of years the Han Chinese control, Xinjiang, or Old Eastern Turkistan, fell within the Chinese Han control in 1949. From then, its population is mainly Uyghur People and Turkic - speaking System.

Islamic primarily, the Uyghur people have a deep religious identification that, in particular, permitted them to maintain a strong big difference in opposition to the Chinese enemy. Indeed, the Uyghur Kingdom of Mongolia knew a amazing civilization, until its absorption by the Mongolian Empire in the XIIIth century.

During their historical past, the Uyghurs successively taken on Shamanism, Manicheism, Buddhism and the Nestorianism before finally 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 on, Uyghur People taken successively, and at times in a competing way, a great number of written forms (turco-runic, brahmi, tokharien, soghdien) before developing their own graphic system.

The arrival of Islam was a great change since it was followed by the absorption of the Uyghur land in the immense Turco-Mongolian and Islamic Empire. Thus, the descendants of Genghis Khan slowly replaced their writing by a Arabo-Persan alphabet, still used today.

If their writing, their own language and their religion mark a real big difference with the culture of Chinese Han, the Uyghurs also are different from their characteristic, so aspect 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 9 million inhabitants - a little for this particular great region. Thus, Uyghur people are now part of the fifty six racial minority groups having been well-known in an official way by the People's Republic of China.

This statute will allow them a few rights in a country where their difference is very often repressed. Thus, Uyghur families escape the "single child policy" and their language is accepted as the second official language in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The integration of the Uyghurs and their culture in the People's Republic of China, however, seems quite illusory. The presence of all-natural resources in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and its distance with locations identified as sensitive, strongly encouraged the government to speed up the sinicization of this area. Million of Han thus came to settle in this new Chinese eldorado, monopolizing the more significant responsibility job opportunities.

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

Saying more freedom, but especially the recognition of their true identity, this movement was seriously 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 Uyghurs population continues today to proudly continue to keep their identity and their ethnic heritage , though they become a minority on their own land.

18 Sobering Facts Which Prove That The Middle Class Is Not Being Included In This “Economic Recovery”

Courtesy of Michael Snyder, Economic Collapse

Have you heard the news?  The stock market is absolutely soaring and according to the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve we are in the beginning stages of a robust economic recovery.  Yippee!  The S&P 500 is up 6.8 percent so far in 2011, and the stock market recently hit a two and a half year high.  So shouldn't we all be celebrating?  Well, if stock market performance was an accurate measure of economic health, then Zimbabwe would have had one of the healthiest economies on the entire globe during the last decade. 

But just like Zimbabwe's stock market was artificially pumped up with "funny money" that was rapidly being devalued, so is ours.  All of the "quantitative easing" that the Federal Reserve has been doing is pumping plenty of money into the financial markets and is helping to inflate a false stock market bubble, but it is doing very little to alleviate the suffering of the U.S. middle class.  In fact, when you take a closer look at the numbers you quickly find out that the suffering of the middle class is getting even worse.

According to Gallup, the unemployment rate is now over 10%.  The number of Americans that have given up looking for work recently set a new all-time record.  The number of mortgages in foreclosure tied a record high during the fourth quarter of 2010.  Gas and food prices are rising rapidly.  The number of Americans on food stamps continues to increase every single month.

Yes, right now the economic situation is not in free fall like it was a couple years ago.  We should be thankful for that.  Periods of relative stability such as we are enjoying now will be few and far between in the years ahead.  This "bubble" of economic calm is a great opportunity that we should all be taking advantage of.

However, those that are hoping that this is an economic "turning point" and that things will soon be back to "normal" are going to be greatly disappointed.  This is about as "normal" as things are going to be ever again.

Even during this time of relative economic stability, the U.S. middle class is still being ripped to shreds.  If there are those among your family and friends that are somehow convinced that the U.S. economy is recovering nicely, you might want want to show them the following 18 very sobering facts....

#1 According to Gallup, the U.S. unemployment rate is currently 10.3 percent.  When you add in part-time American workers that want full-time employment, that number rises to 20.2 percent.

#2 According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of job openings in the United States declined for a second straight month during December.

#3 There are currently more than 4 million Americans that have been unemployed for more than a year.

#4 The number of Americans that have become so discouraged that they have given up searching for work completely now stands at an all-time high.

#5 Gasoline prices in the United States recently hit a 28-month high.

#6 During the 4th quarter of 2010, 4.63 percent of all U.S. home loans were in foreclosure.  That matched the all-time high, and it was up significantly from 4.39 percent in the 3rd quarter.

#7 It is estimated that there are about 5 million homeowners in the United States that are at least two months behind on their mortgages, and it is being projected that over a million American families will be booted out of their homes this year alone.

#8 Almost 14 percent of all credit card accounts in the United States are currently 90 days or more delinquent.

#9 The average credit card rate in the United States had increased to a whopping 13.44 percent at the end of 2010.

#10 Americans now owe more than $890 billion on student loans, which is even more than they owe on credit cards.

#11 Average household debt in the United States has now reached a level of 136% of average household income.  In China, average household debt is only 17% of average household income.

#12 U.S. life expectancy at birth is now three years less than Canada and four years less than Japan.

#13 New home sales in the state of California were at the lowest level ever recorded in the month of January.

#14 43 percent of all mortgages in south Florida are currently underwater.

#15 Prior to the most recent economic downturn, there were usuallysomewhere around four to five million job openings in America.  Today there are about 3 million.

#16 When you adjust wages for inflation, middle class workers in the United States make less money today than they did back in 1971.

#17 One out of every seven Americans is now on food stamps.

#18 One out of every six elderly Americans now lives below the federal poverty line.

You know things are bad when articles start popping up in the mainstream news instructing us how to interact socially with the hordes of unemployed Americans that are out there today.  A recent USA Today article entitled "What not to say to someone who is unemployed" listed some of the things that you should not say to someone that does not have a job.  The following are some of their suggestions on what NOT to say....

"Hey, have you found anything yet?"

"How's the search going?"

"You just have to pound the pavement."

"Something will turn up."

"It's tough out there."

"Other people are going through the same thing."

"Maybe you're asking for too much money."

"Maybe you should go back to school."

"There are plenty of jobs out there."

I am sure most of us have heard things like this at one time or another.  It can be a soul-crushing thing to have others look at you in pity because you don't have a job and you can't pay the mortgage and feed your family.

Most unemployed Americans are not lazy.  The vast majority of them desperately want jobs.  But the U.S. economy is not producing nearly enough jobs today.  As noted above, the U.S. economy currently has about 3 million job openings, but approximately 20 percent of the workforce wants to find a full-time job.  The demand for jobs is far, far, far greater than the supply.

Unfortunately, this is the legacy of decades of bad economic decision-making.  The U.S. economy should be able to provide work for every single person that wants it, but because of the choices that have been made that will never be the case again.

The middle class in America is being ripped to shreds right in front of our eyes and very little is being done to stop it.  Desperation is rising across the nation.  More Americans slip into poverty every single day.  It is almost as if a cloud of gloom and despair has descended upon the U.S. economy and every single month the situation only seems to get darker.

So what about you?  How has this economy affected you and your family?  Please feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts below.... 

For the past year, we've been digging into the administration's fumbling efforts [1]. We've crunched a lot of numbers along the way, and now we're sharing what we found 2013 including loads of previously unreported data.

Using new Treasury Department figures, previously unreleased documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests, and new analyses of state and industry data, we have assembled the most detailed look yet at how the the mortgage industry [2] and the government's main effort, the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), have failed homeowners.

It provides crucial context to the ongoing government investigation into mortgage servicing practices, which might lead to reforms [3] of how banks and servicers handle homeowner requests for modifications.

Here's what we learned:

• Only a fraction of struggling homeowners are getting help.2026 [4]


• Mortgage servicers are only reaching a small fraction of struggling homeowners.2026 [5]


• The largest servicers, especially Bank of America, have left most struggling homeowners in limbo without either modifying or foreclosing. [6]


• HAMP itself hasn't made much difference: It hasn't led to an increase in modifications.2026 [7]


• Just over one in five homeowners who applied for a HAMP mod have received a permanent modification2026 [8]


• And in one quarter of rejections, mortgage servicers - notorious for losing documents - have cited missing documents as the reason. [9]


• Here are your overall chances of getting a mod with each of the top servicers. [10]


• Treasury claims servicers are improving, but its own data show otherwise. [11]


• When servicers offer a mod, it's generally more affordable than mods used to be.2026 [12]


• But instead of mods, servicers have recently been offering more repayment plans, which actually increase struggling homeowners' payments. [13]


• In the end, most government funds set aside to help homeowners are still unused. [14]
