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.

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.”

A look at what's coming up in the drug and health fields.

Surface Encounters

I read an interesting article this morning that suggested Apple would change its mind and put Adobe’s Flash technology on its iOS devices within a year. I don’t think that’s going to happen.

In an open letter to users, Apple CEO Steve Jobs gave several reasons why he didn’t want Flash on the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. They are: Flash isn’t open; the full web; reliability, security and performance; battery life; and touch.

Adobe began shipping Flash Player 10.1 for Mobile last June, but even Laptop magazine admitted that “Steve Jobs was right,” and that “Adobe’s offering seems like it’s too little, too late.” Granted, that report was from six months ago, but it still doesn’t bode well for the technology.

There is no doubt that Adobe is making advances with Flash on mobile devices, but I don’t believe future changes will be enough to get Apple to adopt the technology.

Jobs has been very clear that Apple supports HTML5, an open technology that is controlled by a standards committee, not one company. By building support for that technology into Webkit, Apple is ensuring that mobile Web browsers will be able to access what we’ve come to know as the “full web.”

Webkit is used by Google, Palm, Nokia and RIM, so it has a pretty solid base.

One of the arguments often bantered about when the discussion of the “full Web” comes up is video. There is no doubt that Flash made huge strides over the years in having sites like YouTube encode their videos in Flash. But that’s for the desktop.

As Jobs points out, almost all of this video is also available in H.264 format (a format Flash also supports), so it’s viewable on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

“Add to this video from Vimeo, Netflix, Facebook, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, ESPN, NPR, Time, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, People, National Geographic, and many, many others. iPhone, iPod and iPad users aren’t missing much video,” wrote Jobs.

You may ask why other companies adopted Flash for their mobile devices when Apple won’t. That’s easy, they are looking for something they have that Apple doesn’t. Considering how hard it is for tablet makers to compete with Apple, any perceived advantage will work.

I’m not an Adobe hater—I know quite a few people that work at Adobe and I think they’ve done some amazing things over the years. Flash for mobile devices isn’t one of them.

Chris Dawson said he gives “Apple a year until they cave [and adopt Flash]. Android tablets will just be too cool and too useful for both entertainment and enterprise applications if they don’t.”

I have been using my iPhone for years and my iPad for one year. I honestly can’t remember the last time I went to a Web site that wouldn’t load because I didn’t have Flash installed. I can load videos from YouTube and a host of other sites too, no problem.

Apple has sold more than 160 million iOS devices and there are no screaming, angry hordes of users breaking down the doors at 1 Infinite Loop demanding Flash on their devices.

In order for Apple to change its mind and adopt Flash, the technology has to be proven to be indispensable and that it will benefit its users. Apple has proven just the opposite is true.

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.

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.

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.

Making Money Job

Gov. Perry Talks Up Job Creation As He Prepares To Lay Off One-Third Of Texas’ Teachers

During a speech last week, Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) “pledged to continue strengthening the jobs climate” in his state. His director of administration added later that “the governor has put a priority on bringing jobs to Texas.”

However, jobs teaching Texas’ children to compete in the 21st century evidently don’t count:

Gov. Rick Perry can’t quit talking about jobs. He used the word 19 times in his recent state of the state address and has made it a top spending priority.

But if Perry realizes his vision of a budget balanced through cuts alone, 100,000 teachers could lose their jobs. That’s about a third of the 333,000 teachers employed by Texas public schools.

“If you lay off 1,000 teachers you’re going to have some greater number of that jobs loss because, presumably, those teachers are not going to be spending money in those communities,” said Terry Clower, director of the Center for Economic Development and Research at the University of North Texas. “That’s going to flow through the economy.” Indeed, the Center on Public Policy Priorities has estimated that Texas’ proposed cuts to public education will result in the loss of more than 100,000 private sector jobs.

Making matters worse, just a few weeks ago, Perry was actually extolling the virtues of education as one of the “building blocks of the economy“:

As our economy continues to reflect advances in technology, our educational approaches must do the same with an increased emphasis on the science, technology, engineering and math skills that Texans need to compete for future jobs. These are the basic building blocks of an economy that has drawn new employers to our state and our calling is to fortify them.

Of course, Perry could accept money from a bill passed by Congress last year aimed at preserving teachers’ jobs: Texas’ share of that money comes to $830 million. However, Perry is standing firm in his conviction that he should be allowed to spend that money on whatever he wants, going so far as to sue the Department of Education over the bill’s requirement that Texas use its share of the funding to maintain education spending. Previously, Perry has accepted federal education spending, only to cut state education spending by the same amount and use the saved money to bolster Texas’ Rainy Day Fund.

What to anticipate When Hiring a Roofer

When the time comes to repair or even substitute your homes roof, it can be a daunting task to locate somebody that is qualified for the job. There are many roofing contractors out there, but the types who will perform a congrats for a sensible cost aren't frequently simple to find. If you are in the market for the service provider, make use of the tips below for interviewing and employing the correct one.

Interview and Consultation

Most roofing contractors offer totally free consultation services. This is especially important, since it provides them an opportunity to evaluate exactly what your roof requirements, and it provides you with an opportunity to evaluate all of them. As with all of companies, trust your intuition concerning the people you let up on your roofing. No issue exactly how great a contractor's reputation or recommendation, he should begin by showing you with a business card. If a contractor occurs looking and talking in an less than professional manner, most likely the job he is going to perform will also be unprofessional. This is not to say that you should expect contractors to reach in suits. They is going to be climbing in your roof, so most will be dressed up in jeans as well as work footwear or athletic shoes. If the actual service provider appears to be more interested in speaking on his cell phone during your homes roof compared to he is in analyzing your roof's requirements, which may be another indication that he's not really the one for the job. For the lawful safety, be certain that the actual contractor has sufficient legal responsibility insurance.

Roof Evaluation

Expect that the service provider will be going up on your roofing. Actually, any contractor who not want to increase in your roof to judge the problem should be immediately reduced. Those who're seriously interested in their work may possibly create a drawing of the roof's surface as well as tag problem areas on it as they go through their evaluation, or even they'll consider pictures or video from the surface while they are available online for. This is a very essential action, because it enables you to see just what the problems are as well as understand how they'll be set.

Estimation

The next step would be the written estimate. The contractor will take away his loan calculator and come up with an itemized estimate. Some companies goes out to their own truck or even truck and write up the actual suggestion, while some will crisis the actual numbers to do the job prior to you. Once you are given the proposal, ensure that you comprehend exactly which items will be utilized, how long the job will require and when you will find any extra or hidden expenses that may arise during the repair of the roof. The service provider should be able to answer all of these concerns with ease as well as forewarn a person of any extra expenses that might be sustained should the roof's ethics end up being broken within.

Once you have received a few created estimations from roofing contractors, evaluate what each organization or service provider is willing to offer you for that price. Do not always discount the highest bet, because occasionally the highest bet will actually be the service provider who does the task correctly. Also, be wary associated with bids that are significantly less than others. They may be utilizing inferior products or perhaps be untruthful concerning the possibility of concealed expenses. Most importantly, trust your instincts and go with the service provider who makes you feel most comfy about giving over your hard earned money.

 

Seven Uyghurs Sentenced to Death

2011-03-23

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

 

AFP

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

'Strike hard' campaign

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Earlier cases

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

New training scheme

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

An Urumqi resident surnamed Li agreed.

 

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

 

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

If it had been actually in doubt, information acquired through the whistleblower website, Wikileaks, has verified Chinese government worries more than its continued control of the region it calls Xinjiang, also is known as Eastern Turkestan. The actual leaked out wires from Ough.Utes. diplomats show the degree to which Chinese language government bodies attempt to persuade government authorities worldwide to consider its position on issues affecting Uyghurs. The actual wires also show the United States' concerns as well as views concerning the on going repressive measures in the area.

Most illuminating of Chinese government pressure are the cables directed in order to Chinese language frustration, or even the specter associated with Chinese ire, within the release of Uyghur detainees in Guantánamo to third nations. The Dec 29, 08 cable television relates how Chinese Assistant International Minister Liu Jieyi met using the U.Utes. Ambassador to The far east in order to voice Beijing's strong opposition associated with release to any nation other than China, and that when the Ough.S. do indeed accede for this request it would "avoid harm to bilateral relations and to co-operation ‘in essential areas'". Furthermore, a Feb '09 cable describes the way the Chinese language Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Yannian, regarded the feasible release of Uyghur Guantánamo detainees as "an unfriendly behave toward us" along with a "slap within the face". The Ough.S. government was company within not really releasing the actual detainees in order to China illustrates the degree from the politicized character of the Chinese language judicial system. Legitimate issues over terrorism tend to be easy to understand, but in the U.Utes. government's observe the detainees would most likely face do-it-yourself torture and delivery if they came back in order to The far east

Chinese language government stress in regard to the actual Uyghur Guantánamo detainees was not just put on the U.S. government, but additionally to New Zealand and a number of European government authorities that were considering resettlement. Albania, Indonesia as well as Finland, as well as European Union member states all appear to have paid for the brunt associated with Chinese federal government disappointment. Regarding Indonesia, which was at first willing to think about 2 Uyghurs upon solely humanitarian grounds, Uyghur Guantánamo cases were much less preferable to additional detainees due to the negative effects accepting Uyghurs would have upon relations with China. The Might 8, '09 cable television applies how "German Ambassador Michael Schaefer reported that Germany had informed China from the Ough.S. request to accept a few Uighur detainees kept from Guantánamo and had been consequently cautioned by The far east of ‘a heavy burden upon bilateral relations' if Indonesia had been to accept any kind of detainees".

The diplomatic wires also discuss the unrest in Urumchi, the actual local capital, in This summer '09. A This summer Thirteen, 2009 cable television talking about mass occurrences within The far east states:

"Ethnic riots such as those who work in Xinjiang This summer 5-7 as well as in Tibet in 03 associated with 2008 vary substantially within source as well as nature through mass incidents, XXXXXXXXXXXX emphasized in order to PolOff [Political Officer] upon XXXXXXXXXXXX. Both existing severe problems for the actual Party, XXXXXXXXXXXX said, but the Celebration leadership would not hesitate to spread out fire on Uighurs or even Tibetans if they considered this necessary to restore purchase. Mass incidents present another type of threat, he said, as the leadership is actually ‘afraid' to fire upon Han rioters for fear of causing huge open public outrage that will turn from the Celebration."

This is a relaxing viewpoint, especially when 1 considers the evidence presented by 50 percent reviews released this season through the Uyghur Human Privileges Project (UHRP) and Amnesty International which detail eyewitness accounts of the use of deadly live fire towards Uyghur protestors in July '09. In addition, the declaration which fireplace wouldn't be used against Han Chinese protestors offers resonances for that various strategy taken through Chinese security forces in Urumchi in order to Han Chinese protests within September 2009. During those protests, after that Party Assistant, Wang Lequan, addressed demonstrators, that experienced demanded he let them know about federal government reactions in order to security issues. An identical ask for to meet using the Party Secretary through Uyghur demonstrators within July wasn't met.

The actual broader consequences of the unrest additionally saw a short discussion about the impact it would possess on Iran-China relationships, and on relations along with Australia following Globe Uyghur Congress President, Ms. Rebiya Kadeer, talked in the Nationwide Press Club within Canberra in July 2009. In the latter case, the Chinese government "privately warn[ed] a significant Australian financial institution which vendors the nation's Press Club to use it's impact to bar a Kadeer talk there".

The U . s . States' issues concerning the scenario within the Uyghur area also come via in the cables. In a dialogue on plan direction in Tibet, U.S. authorities clarify that it will end up being impossible with regard to Chinese frontrunners to consider the much softer collection "if they look like doing this under international pressure". The cable television out dated 04 Sixteen, 08, one month following the outbreak of unrest in Tibetan regions, additionally relayed the actual observation "that domestic stability continues to be leadership's top priority most of all, meaning there will ‘almost surely' end up being no rest of the current difficult collection on Tibet or perhaps in locations like Xinjiang." The info included in the cable television also storage sheds light about the severe sensitivity with which the Chinese government views territorial integrity, and the feasible spill more than associated with unrest from Tibet.

The chance associated with solutions to tensions in Tibet as well as Xinjiang arising from municipal culture are discussed inside a February Twenty-four, 08 cable. Whilst suggesting which China's economic achievement will increase its resistance to democratic reform, the actual cable additionally talks about how Chinese leaders see the effectiveness of "a restricted growth associated with municipal society, such as enhancements within the guideline of law and a stronger role for approved religions, NGOs, charities along with other actors in areas which bring about sociable stability and don't problem Communist Party rule." This can be a significant change in thinking, which has seen U.Utes. authorities promote the notion that Chinese language economic improvement, as well as financial relationships along with The far east brings about a steadily democratic society; however, much more belief appears to be placed in the grassroots motion than one that starts in the top quantity of a Chinese language federal government. Nevertheless, the actual cable television concludes that "[i]n places for example Tibet and Xinjiang, the fear associated with separatism results in tighter limitations on the growth of municipal culture." This method can be regarded as counter-productive through the official, who shows that the actual U.S. federal government "should still express...serious issues more than Beijing's individual privileges report and attract China's developing consciousness that higher respect for individual rights, spiritual independence and also the guideline associated with law will serve to promote the very development as well as sociable balance that China looks for as well as to improve China's international picture." Such a technique might consider substantial diplomatic abilities considering "China's paranoid fear that the United States secretly promotes routine change as well as ‘separatists' in Taiwan, Tibet as well as Xinjiang".

The wires offer understanding of the every day company of diplomacy that's hardly ever afforded to the general public, and it is interesting to note the amount of function done behind closed doors on Uyghur issues. The importance of the actual part of the United States as a monitor of Uyghur human rights conditions in private conversations is created clear, and contrasts with its tactful open public position. The staff from the Uyghur Human Rights Task is actually comfortable with pressure china federal government exerts upon Uyghur activists; nevertheless, the facts of Chinese language federal government pressure on it's counterparts is illustrative of the degree which Chinese language officials attempt to suppress contradictory narratives. With increased facts to come from Wikileaks, issues over Uyghurs might not grab the actual headlines, however the cables have shed brand new light on the paperwork associated with individual rights problems in the Uyghur area.

The Uyghurs from East Turkestan

In the center of the desert landscapes of Taklamakan, in the northern-western part of China, the province of Xinjiang is a least populated land whereas it covers near to a sixth from the nation's territory. Having resisted during generations the Han Chinese control, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, or Old Eastern Turkestan, fell within the Chinese Han control in 1949. From then, its population is primarily Uyghurs and Turkic - speaking System.

Islamic most importantly, the Uyghurs have a deep religious identification which, in specific, enabled them to preserve a strong big difference towards the Chinese enemy. Of course, the Uyghur Empire of Mongolia knew a amazing civilization, until its absorption by the Mongolian Empire in the XIIIth century.

While in their own history, the Uyghur People 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 starting the way to the Islamization of the entire Central Asia.

Under the influence of the religions which they adopted, Uyghur People used successively, and sometimes 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 modification simply because it was followed by the assimilation of the Uyghur areas in the enormous Turkic and Muslim Kingdom. Thus, the descendants of Genghis Khan progressively replaced their writing by a Arabo-Persan alphabet, still used nowadays.

If their writing, their 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 shiny skin, eyes representing a whole pallet of colors, from black to deep blue, features pointing out to the Mongolian, Turkish or Uzbek origins 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 population - a trifle for this kind of great country. Thus, Uyghur people are now part of the 56 racial minority groups having been well known in an official way by China.

This particular statute will allow them a few rights in a land exactly where their big difference is very often repressed. Thus, Uyghur people escape the "single child policy" and their language is recognized as the second official language in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The integration of the Uyghurs and their culture in China, however, looks really illusory. The presence of all-natural resources in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and its proximity with countries known as very sensitive, strongly urged the government to speed up the sinicization of this area. Million of Han thus came to settle in this new Chinese eldorado, monopolizing the more significant responsibility jobs.

In response 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.

Asserting more freedom, but specially the acceptance of their true identity, this movement was seriously repressed by the power authorities in location Xinjiang.

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 peoples population continues today to proudly keep up their identification and their tradition , despite the fact that they become a minority on their own land.

Making Money Online Easy

Last week, Novelr profiled Amanda Hocking, whom they dubbed the very rich indie writer. Hocking is a 26-year-old woman who writes “paranormal romance” novels and publishes them herself through Amazon’s Kindle store. She’s been very successful, and has made a lot of money.

Her success has led to all sorts of speculation — as success will do — and comments from folks who think they could do what she does, too. They think she’s an overnight success. She recently posted a response at her website, and I like it. Here’s an excerpt:

This is literally years of work you’re seeing. And hours and hours of work each day. The amount of time and energy I put into marketing is exhausting. I am continuously overwhelmed by the amount of work I have to do that isn’t writing a book. I hardly have time to write anymore, which sucks and terrifies me.

If you read Hocking’s post, you might understand some of my own mindset over the past few years. Imagine that instead of discussing supernatural love stories, she’s writing about an unexpectedly successful personal-finance blog. There are some close parallels. I don’t mean that in a negative, complain-y way. I just mean to stress that yes, you can make it big doing something you love, but it’ll probably take a lot of hard work. (And luck. There’s always a bit of luck involved.)

Speaking of making money: There’s been a small flurry of online info about making more money lately. (You know this is one of my pet topics, right?) For example, Inc. magazine posted an article from Jason Fried about how to get good at making money. Fried’s list is targeted at small-business owners. Trent at The Simple Dollar responded with his own list of five easy steps to make money for average folks. Both articles are interesting.

Moving on: I’ve written before about the value of a neighborhood exchange — an informal system of borrowing and lending goods and services. David at My Two Dollars has a great list of items to share with your neighbors to save money. I realize that not everyone likes to borrow or lend things, but if you live in an area with good social capital, this can be a great way for everyone involved to save space and cash.

Since returning from Africa, I’ve been struggling to get everything done that needs to be done. There just aren’t enough hours in the day. So I was interested in the latest post at Pop Economics, which asks, “How much do you value your time?” Pop says the balance between time and money is tough to find — we want more of both. He’s actually experimenting with a personal assistant, which I like. I’ve been waiting for an average joe to do this and report on how it goes. (As opposed to somebody like Tim Ferriss, who makes it sound like a way to become superhuman.)

Zecco iPhone app. Zecco recently released their free iPhone app, Zecco Mobile Lite, which is already among the highest rated investment apps in the iTunes store. The iPhone app also works on the iPod Touch and iPad. The good news is that anyone can use it for stock research, updates, tracking your portfolio, maintaining a watchlist, real time streaming quotes, and free push alerts. The downside to the app is that you can’t make trades from it at this time. And if you’re like me and have an Android based phone, then don’t worry – the Android app is currently in development, but the Zecco rep I recently spoke with wasn’t allowed to give me a launch date at this time.

Zap Trade. This is a truly unique feature which Zecco holds a patent to, so you won’t see it elsewhere. Zap Trade is a FireFox browser plugin which gives you the power to make trades from any web page once you are signed in. Zap Trade will automatically scan the website you are visiting and highlight any ticker symbols to give you easy access to more in-depth research on that stock, or the ability to trade that stock from that page. It’s a powerful tool for traders who know what they want.

Premium investing tools. If you are a day trader, you will want a tax planning tool to help you make the best decisions regarding which shares to sell for the highest tax efficiency. Zecco offers a free integrated cost basis tool for all shares purchased in 2011 and going forward. Zecco also offers Gainskeeper, which is an industry recognized tool for tracking cost basis. There is an associate fee with the latter tool.

Account records. Zecco keeps their costs down by automatically enrolling you in e-statements. You can receive paper statements for a fee.

Zecco Customer Service

Zecco offers e-mail, live chat, and telephone support through a free customer service number – 1.877.700.7862. Zecco’s FAQ section can take care of many questions, but if you need immediate assistance, you will need to call between the hours of 9am-6pm est, Mon-Fri.

Security and insurance

Your money is safe with Zecco. Zecco is a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), which is the largest non-governmental regulator for all securities firms doing business in the United States. Zecco is covered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which is an organization that acts as insurance against your broker filing for bankruptcy or otherwise going under. Funds are available to meet customer claims up to a maximum of $500,000 in cash and securities with a $100,000 cash maximum. Zecco has additional coverage from Lloyds of London insurance and is secured through a VeriSign SSL Certificate to assure your confidential information remains secure.

Trading Key. Before making a trade, Zecco members must enter a trading key – this is a separate step that occurs after logging in to their account. This prevents unauthorized users from causing some major damage to your account.

My overall opinion of Zecco

I think Zecco is a quality trading platform, which certainly can’t be beat for the price. Zecco is a flexible brokerage and will meet the needs of many different types of investors – from the investor who buys and holds ETFs (such as myself) to the day trader who makes dozens of trades in a month. The biggest complaint that some people have is the additional expense of certain premium tools. But in my opinion, if you are trading often enough to need those tools, you are most likely saving a lot more money based on the average trade commission with Zecco compared to the average trade at another brokerage.
