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.

Apple advertises its products as magical. They’re at the intersection of “technology and the liberal arts,” Steve Jobs said today. Something that moves your heart, not just your lust for technology. Will consumers still buy that in 2011?

The big picture question of the day is whether Apple has done it again. With the original iPad, Apple crushed its rivals, taking more than 90 percent of the tablet market in 2010 and selling more than 15 million units. Jobs predicted today that 2011 will be the year of the iPad 2. Based on what I have seen today, I think he’s mostly, but not entirely, right.

Competitors will discover that Apple has a lot of inherent financial advantages, including being a low-cost leader. That may not sound intuitive, but I believe it has to be true. It is selling so much volume of its products that it can get discounts on parts and manufacturing services that no one else can get.

When it sells its products in stores, it also doesn’t have to give away 20 percent of the margin to a retailer. That is a huge financial advantage. Carriers are also willing to subsidize the costs of Apple products in a way that they won’t with other tablet vendors. All of these things may explain why the Motorola Xoom, a very cool product, is selling for $800 while Apple has priced its new devices at $499 to $829, (and dropped the price of the old iPad to $399). Apple has also left very little room for rivals here, since it has signed up both AT&T and Verizon. Perhaps there is room for rivals to sell $199 machines, but users probably aren’t going to like them.

Those are reasons why any cool Apple mobile product could beat other rivals. But Apple has also done some smart things with the iPad 2. It has created another rev of its microprocessor, the A5, which has two cores, or computing brains. And it has nine times faster graphics than its old A4 chip. Since Apple designs this chip itself, it doesn’t have to give away much margin to a chip design firm. It only has to give a small margin to a chip manufacturer such as Samsung to make the chips.

Apple has also custom-designed the A5 to run Apple applications on a device with a 10-hour battery life. Apple should have an edge there, as it won’t sell the A5 to rivals. But if this is an advantage, it isn’t likely to last long, as Nvidia is being very aggressive with a new quad-core chip that it could sell to any Android rivals.

The design of the iPad 2 is where Apple has more advantages. The iPad 2 will have faster web-browsing with a new version of Safari. It has two cameras that will inspire a lot of video and photo-related apps. The availability of the Mac applications — iMovie, Garage Band, and Photo Booth — on the iPad 2 will make a lot of users happy. More interesting features will come with new releases of the iOS, or Apple’s operating system in the fairly near future.

There are some users who won’t like the restrictions of Apple’s ecosystem. If they want universal serial bus (USB) and SD card ports, they are out of luck. Apple didn’t change the resolution of its screen either, leaving it at 1024 x 768. Competitors could add these options and put emphasis on them as selling points. (Critics are disappointed that Apple did not improve the display, but that’s a big cost issue others have too).

Apple has also made great improvements in the feel of the product. It’s 33 percent thinner, 2 ounces lighter, and it has a wonderful new screen cover that doubles as a stand for the device. (It wakes up the device when you peel it back and it has micro-fibers that clean the screen when the cover is on).

Now here is why Jobs is not entirely right. Apple has come up with a stunning machine at prices that the competitors will have a hard time beating. But it is almost inevitable that Android-based tablets will gain market share on Apple.

So far, I don’t see the Android machine that will beat the iPad 2. But the potential is there, given ingredients such as Android 3.0, Nvidia Tegra 2 chips and other fast microprocessors, and 4G LTE. The latter is the main weakness in Apple’s armor.

LTE is fast, with a minimum speed on Verizon at around 12 megabits a second and actual speeds running much higher than that now. Getting access to 4G LTE is as big a benefit as having access to lots of cool apps, from my point of view. Right now, the timing of the still-young LTE technology means that Apple cannot yet put it into its mass-produced, lowest-cost tablet computers.

If LTE costs come down sometime soon, then Apple can launch a new version of the iPad to incorporate the technology. But it’s not a simple upgrade, as it means that the hardware of the machine — including the radio chip — has to change. And for now, LTE chips are larger than their 3G equivalents, so the heat dissipation and product size are affected. In other words, LTE can force Apple to redesign the iPad.

Apple can do that. But Android tablet makers might be able to move faster than Apple directly into the 4G LTE tablet market. If they do that, then they will have found a scenario where they could steal a march on Apple. Apple is not likely to let that gap last for a long time, but it might be enough for Apple to lose some share this year.

Apple’s leadership position in this market will be hard to beat, but the collective weight and reach of Android rivals could erode it. And here’s a sobering thought: If Apple eventually winds up with only 30 percent of the tablet market, it could still be No. 1, and its place as the largest technology company in the world will not be at risk.

Check out Apple’s overview video on the iPad 2 and Jobs’ comments on technology and the liberal arts below.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

web internet marketing

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.

On this day a year ago, Aten Design Group hosted a funeral for IE6 in Denver, Colorado. We heard about it and sent flowers. While the funeral gave a strong indication of the desire to rid the world of IE6, the browser still has a presence. So today, we bring you the next step in our mission to see IE6 gone for good. To demonstrate our commitment to getting rid of IE6, we’re launching a website called ie6countdown.com.

Now that it’s 2011, IE6 is officially a ten-year old browser. According to Net Applications, IE6 still has 12% share worldwide. Our goal is to get this share under 1% worldwide. Why 1%? We realize that there might not a magic number for when web developers and IT pros can drop support for older browsers, but we believe that 1% will allow more sites and IT pros worldwide to make IE6 a low-priority browser – meaning you don’t have to invest as much time in updates or fixes. We recognize that IE6 usage varies depending on where you live, so ie6countdown.com includes the details of IE6 share by country. We will update the site’s stats on a monthly basis and celebrate as countries dip under the 1% mark!

We know that many IE6 users are on the older browser because it’s at their workplace. We’ve put together some resources for IT pros to help understand the business value of moving off IE6 and are delivering to them the tools to help them navigate the process. And, with the assets provided on ie6countdown.com, we’re encouraging developers around the world to spread the word by placing an upgrade notification to IE6 users on their website. Top websites, like CNET, have already done this on their website, and other sites, like Meebo and MSN, are launching upgrade notifications soon.

We’re inviting everyone to share this site with friends, acquaintances, clients, and IT admins to see for themselves why even Microsoft thinks the world would be better off without IE6. Please join us in tracking the progress as we count down the market share of IE6.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, IE6 was a great browser for its time, but we all need the web to move forward. Visit ie6countdown.com today, and help us say farewell to IE6!

Thanks,

Roger Capriotti

What to anticipate Whenever Getting a Roofer

When the time comes to repair or even substitute your homes roof, it's really a challenging task to locate somebody that is qualified to do the job. There are lots of roofing companies out there, however the types who'll do a great job for a reasonable price aren't often simple to find. If you're in the market for the contractor, make use of the tips beneath for interviewing as well as employing the right one.

Job interview and Consultation

The majority of roofing companies offer totally free consultations. This is especially important, since it provides them an opportunity to assess what your roof needs, and it provides you with a chance to assess all of them. As with all companies, trust your instincts about the individuals a person let upward on your roofing. No matter how great a contractor's reputation or even suggestion, he or she ought to start by showing you having a company greeting card. If the contractor arrives searching as well as talking in an unprofessional method, chances are that the task he is going to perform may also be less than professional. This is not to express that you should anticipate companies to reach in fits. They will be climbing on your roofing, so most will be dressed up in denim jeans and work boots or even athletic shoes. If the contractor seems to be more interested in talking on his mobile phone during your roof than he's within analyzing your roof's needs, which may be another sign that he is not really the one for the job. For the lawful safety, make sure that the contractor offers adequate legal responsibility insurance coverage.

Roofing Evaluation

Expect that the contractor will be going up in your roof. Actually, any contractor who not need to go up in your roof to judge the issue ought to be immediately discounted. Those who are seriously interested in their function will either make a sketching of your roof's surface as well as mark trouble spots onto it because they go through their assessment, or even they will take photos or even video from the surface area while they are up there. This is a very important action, since it allows you to see exactly what the troubles are as well as know how they'll be set.

Estimation

The next step would be the created estimation. The contractor will take out their calculator and come up with a written estimation. Some contractors goes out to their truck or even truck and write up the actual suggestion, while others will crisis the actual numbers for the job in front of you. Once you are given the suggestion, ensure that you understand exactly which items is going to be used, how long the task will require and when there are any extra or even concealed expenses that could occur during the restore of the roofing. The contractor will be able to answer all of these concerns effortlessly and forewarn you of any extra costs that might be incurred should the roof's ethics end up being broken within.

Once you have received a few created estimates from roofers, evaluate exactly what every organization or even contractor would like to offer you for the price. Do not necessarily low cost the greatest bid, simply because occasionally the greatest bid will in reality function as the service provider who does the task properly. Also, be skeptical of bids which are not nearly as expensive others. They may be utilizing inferior products or perhaps be unethical concerning the possibility of hidden expenses. Most importantly, believe in intuition as well as opt for the contractor that makes you feel quite comfy about handing 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 holly on December Twenty, 2010
Henryk Szadziewski, Supervisor, Uyghur Human Rights Project

If it were actually uncertain, information obtained by the whistleblower website, Wikileaks, has verified Chinese language government fears over its continued control of the region this phone calls Xinjiang, also is known as East Turkestan. The leaked out wires through U.Utes. diplomats demonstrate the degree to which Chinese language authorities make an effort to persuade government authorities globally to adopt it's position upon problems affecting Uyghurs. The wires also display the United States' issues and views regarding the on going repressive steps in the region.

Most illuminating of Chinese language federal government pressure would be the wires directed in order to Chinese language anger, or even the specter associated with Chinese language ire, within the discharge of Uyghur detainees within Guantánamo to third countries. A December Twenty nine, 2008 cable television relates how Chinese language Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Jieyi met with the Ough.S. Ambassador to China to voice Beijing's powerful opposition associated with release to any kind of country other than The far east, and that if the Ough.Utes. do certainly accede to this request it would "avoid injury to bilateral relationships and to cooperation ‘in essential areas'". Furthermore, a Feb '09 cable television describes how the Chinese language Ambassador in order to Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Yannian, regarded as the actual possible release of Uyghur Guantánamo detainees because "an unfavorable act toward us" and a "slap within the face". The Ough.S. federal government was firm within not liberating the actual detainees in order to China illustrates the actual degree from the politicized character from the Chinese language judicial program. Genuine concerns over terrorism are easy to understand, but in the U.Utes. government's observe the detainees would most likely encounter do-it-yourself torture and execution when they returned to The far east

Chinese language federal government stress in regard to the actual Uyghur Guantánamo detainees was not only put on the actual Ough.S. government, but also to Brand new Zealand along with a handful of European governments which were considering resettlement. Albania, Indonesia as well as Finland, as well as European Union fellow member states all appear to have paid for the actual impact of Chinese language federal government unhappiness. Regarding Indonesia, that was initially prepared to consider 2 Uyghurs on solely humanitarian reasons, Uyghur Guantánamo cases had been less better than other detainees because of the negative effects accepting Uyghurs might have on relationships with China. A Might 8, 2009 cable television relates exactly how "German Ambassador Erina Schaefer reported which Germany had informed The far east from the Ough.Utes. request to accept some Uighur detainees held from Guantánamo and had been subsequently warned through China associated with ‘a heavy load on bilateral relations' in the event that Germany had been to simply accept any detainees".

The actual diplomatic cables also talk about the unrest in Urumchi, the local capital, within July '09. The July 13, '09 cable discussing mass incidents in China says:

"Ethnic riots such as those who work in Xinjiang July 5-7 as well as in Tibet in 03 associated with 2008 vary substantially in source as well as character from mass incidents, XXXXXXXXXXXX emphasized to PolOff [Political Officer] on XXXXXXXXXXXX. Each existing severe trouble for the actual Celebration, XXXXXXXXXXXX stated, however the Celebration management wouldn't wait to spread out fireplace on Uighurs or even Tibetans when they deemed it necessary to restore order. Bulk occurrences pose another type of risk, he said, since the management is actually ‘afraid' to fireplace upon Han rioters for anxiety about causing huge public outrage that will change from the Party."

This can be a relaxing viewpoint, especially when one considers the evidence offered by 50 percent reports launched this year through the Uyghur Human Rights Task (UHRP) and Amnesty International that fine detail eyewitness company accounts of the use of lethal live fireplace against Uyghur protestors in This summer 2009. Additionally, the declaration which fire would not be deployed against Han Chinese language protestors offers resonances for the various strategy used by Chinese language protection forces within Urumchi to Han Chinese protests within Sept 2009. During individuals protests, then Party Assistant, Wang Lequan, tackled demonstrators, who had demanded he inform them about government responses in order to protection concerns. An identical ask for to satisfy with the Celebration Assistant through Uyghur protesters in This summer wasn't fulfilled.

The actual broader repercussions from the unrest also noticed a short dialogue about the effect it would have on Iran-China relationships, as well as on relationships along with Sydney following Globe Uyghur Congress Leader, Microsoft. Rebiya Kadeer, talked at the Nationwide Push Club in Canberra in August 2009. In the latter case, china federal government "privately warn[ed] a significant Aussie bank which vendors the National Press Club to use it's impact to block a Kadeer speech there".

The info contained in the cable also storage sheds light on the severe level of sensitivity that the Chinese government sights territorial ethics, and also the feasible drip more than associated with unrest from Tibet.

The prospect associated with methods to stress within Tibet as well as Xinjiang as a result of municipal culture are discussed inside a February Twenty-four, 08 cable. Whilst recommending that China's economic achievement will increase its resistance to democratic change, the actual cable additionally talks about how Chinese leaders begin to see the usefulness associated with "a limited growth associated with municipal society, such as enhancements in the guideline of regulation and a more powerful role for authorized religions, NGOs, non profit organizations along with other stars in places that bring about sociable stability and don't problem Communist Celebration rule." This can be a notable change in thinking, that has seen Ough.S. authorities promote the notion that Chinese economic improvement, and financial relationships with The far east will bring in regards to a steadily democratic society; however, more belief appears to be put into the grassroots movement compared to one that starts from the best quantity of a Chinese federal government. Nonetheless, the cable concludes that "[i]n places such as Tibet as well as Xinjiang, driving a car of separatism leads to tight restrictions on the growth of municipal society." This method can be regarded as counter-productive by the recognized, who suggests that the actual U.S. federal government "should continue to express...serious issues more than Beijing's human privileges record as well as attract China's developing awareness that higher respect for human privileges, spiritual freedom and also the rule associated with regulation assists to promote the development and sociable stability which China looks for as well as to enhance China's worldwide image."

The majority of lighting associated with Chinese government pressure are the cables pointing in order to Chinese anger, or the specter associated with Chinese language ire, over the release of Uyghur detainees within Guantánamo to 3rd countries. The Dec 29, 2008 cable applies exactly how Chinese language Assistant International Minister Liu Jieyi met using the Ough.S. Ambassador in order to The far east to voice Beijing's powerful opposition associated with release to any nation apart from China, and that if the U.S. did certainly accede for this ask for it would "avoid harm to bilateral relations and also to cooperation ‘in important areas'".

Regarding Germany, which was at first willing to think about two Uyghurs on solely humanitarian grounds, Uyghur Guantánamo cases had been much less preferable to other detainees due to the negative effects accepting Uyghurs would have upon relations with China. A May 8, '09 cable applies exactly how "German Ambassador Erina Schaefer reported that Indonesia had informed The far east from the Ough.Utes. request to accept some Uighur detainees kept at Guantánamo coupled with been subsequently cautioned by The far east associated with ‘a heavy load on bilateral relations' in the event that Germany were to accept any kind of detainees".

The actual diplomatic cables also talk about the actual unrest in Urumchi, the actual regional funds, in This summer '09. The July 13, 2009 cable discussing bulk occurrences in China states:

"Ethnic riots like those who work in Xinjiang July 5-7 as well as in Tibet within 03 of 2008 vary markedly within origin as well as character from bulk occurrences, XXXXXXXXXXXX stressed in order to PolOff [Political Officer] upon XXXXXXXXXXXX. Each present severe problems for the actual Celebration, XXXXXXXXXXXX said, however the Party leadership would not hesitate to spread out fireplace upon Uighurs or even Tibetans when they considered it necessary to recover purchase. Bulk incidents pose another type of threat, he explained, as the management is ‘afraid' to fire on Han rioters for fear of sparking massive open public outrage that would turn against the Celebration."

This is a chilling opinion, especially when one considers evidence presented in two reports launched this season through the Uyghur Human Privileges Task (UHRP) and Amnesty Worldwide that fine detail eyewitness accounts from the utilization of deadly reside fireplace towards Uyghur protestors within This summer 2009. Additionally, the actual declaration which fire wouldn't be used against Han Chinese language protestors has resonances for that different strategy used through Chinese language protection causes in Urumchi to Han Chinese language protests within Sept '09. Throughout individuals protests, after that Party Secretary, Wang Lequan, tackled demonstrators, who experienced required he inform them regarding federal government responses in order to security concerns. An identical request to meet using the Celebration Assistant through Uyghur demonstrators within July wasn't met.

The actual wider consequences from the unrest additionally noticed a brief dialogue on the impact it might possess upon Iran-China relations, and on relations along with Sydney after Globe Uyghur Our elected representatives Leader, Microsoft. Rebiya Kadeer, talked in the National Push Club within Canberra in August 2009. In the second option case, the Chinese federal government "privately warn[ed] a major Australian bank that vendors the National Press Club to use its influence to block a Kadeer talk there".

The actual U . s . States' issues about the scenario in the Uyghur region are available through in the wires. In a dialogue on plan direction in Tibet, U.S. officials clarify that it'll end up being not possible with regard to Chinese language leaders to consider the softer line "if they look like doing so below international pressure".

The information included in the cable television also sheds gentle about the severe sensitivity with which china government sights territorial integrity, and the feasible spill more than associated with unrest from Tibet.

The chance of methods to tensions in Tibet and Xinjiang as a result of municipal society are discussed in a February Twenty-four, 2008 cable television. While suggesting that China's financial success will increase it's resistance to democratic change, the actual cable television also talks about exactly how Chinese language leaders see the effectiveness of "a limited growth of municipal culture, such as improvements within the rule associated with law along with a stronger part for authorized beliefs, NGOs, charities and other stars in places which contribute to sociable stability and don't challenge Communist Party rule." This can be a significant change in thinking, that has seen U.Utes. officials market the notion that Chinese language economic development, and economic relationships along with China brings in regards to a progressively democratic society; nevertheless, more belief appears to be placed in a grassroots movement compared to one that starts from the best levels of the Chinese government. Nevertheless, the actual cable proves that "[i]n areas for example Tibet as well as Xinjiang, driving a car of separatism leads to tighter limitations on the growth of municipal society." This method can be regarded as counter-productive by the official, that shows that the Ough.S. government "should still express...serious issues more than Beijing's individual rights record as well as appeal to China's developing consciousness that greater regard with regard to individual privileges, religious independence and the rule of regulation will serve to promote the improvement and social balance which The far east seeks as well as to improve China's international picture." Such a technique would take considerable diplomatic abilities thinking about "China's paranoid fear that the United States privately promotes routine alter as well as ‘separatists' within Taiwan, Tibet as well as Xinjiang".

The wires offer insight into the every day business associated with diplomacy that's rarely afforded to everyone, and it is interesting to notice the amount of function done nowadays upon Uyghur issues. The significance of the actual part of the United States as a monitor of Uyghur human rights conditions within private discussions is created obvious, as well as contrasts with its tactful public position. The staff of the Uyghur Human Privileges Project is comfortable with pressure the Chinese government exerts on Uyghur activists; nevertheless, the facts of Chinese language government pressure on it's counterparts is illustrative of the degree which Chinese officials attempt to control contradictory stories.

Uyghur People from East Turkistan

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

Islamic mainly, the Uyghurs have a strong religious identification which usually, in particular, allowed them to keep a solid difference towards the Chinese enemy. Certainly, the Uyghur Kingdom of Mongolia knew a amazing civilization, until its absorption by the Mongolian Empire in the XIIIth century.

During their own history, the Uyghur People successively adopted Shamanism, Manicheism, Buddhism and the Nestorianism before finally 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 whole Central Asia.

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

The coming of Islam was a great modification because it was followed by the assimilation of the Uyghur areas in the immense Turkic and Muslim Empire. Thus, the descendants of Genghis Khan slowly replaced their writing by a Arabo-Persan alphabet, still used presently.

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 going out to the Mongolian, Turkish or Uzbek roots of these men and these women.

For a few years, China has included the proper identity of these remote people, though they represent only 8 million inhabitants - a little for this particular great country. Thus, the Uyghurs are now part of the fifty six ethnic minority groups having been recognized in an official way by the People's Republic of China.

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

The integration of the Uyghur people and their culture in the People's Republic of China, however, looks pretty illusory. The presence of natural sources in Xinjiang, and its distance with locations known as sensitive, clearly motivated the government to speed up the sinicization of this area. Million of Han thus came to settle in this new Chinese eldorado, monopolizing the higher responsibility work opportunities.

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

Asserting more flexibility, but mainly the recognition of their true identity, this movement was severely repressed by the power authorities in location Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

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

To get more information and facts about the Uyghurs, you can visit a Uyghur website called Uyghur News at http://www.uyghurnews.com

personal finances help

I’ve told you before about PerkStreet Financial’s online checking before. To remind you, they provide free online checking. That’s rarity in itself these days but they also provide a cash back bonus on the spending you make with their debit card. This tends to to be about 1-2%. Well, every month PerkStreet announces different cash back categories that net you 5% cash back. Here are the March 2011 5% cash back categories:

1) Home Supply Stores – Shop at stores like Home Depot or Lowe’s and you earn 5% cash back when you use your PerkStreet debit card.

3) Tax Preparation Solutions – H&R Block, Turbo Tax Online, TaxAct, Liberty Tax Services, and Jackson Hewitt will earn you 5% cash back.

Pretty neat, huh?

Here’s some legal mumbo-jumbo I gotta add:

The amount you can earn at the 5% cash back bonus rate is limited to $250 per household annually (starting on the day your account was opened). The total amount of cash back you can earn remains unlimited. Unless specific stores are named, qualifying purchases are determined by MCC codes. Non-PIN debit card purchases will earn 5% cash back in March in the following categories: Home Supply Warehouse Stores (5200), Sports Apparel and Riding Apparel Stores (5655), and at Sporting Goods Stores (5941) PowerPerks are also available through April 30, 2010 at: H & R Block®, Jackson Hewitt®, TaxAct®, Liberty Tax Service® & TurboTax® (online only).

**The Standard Cash Back Rate Still Stands**:

Earn 2% cash back on all non-PIN purchases for the first 3 months (90 days) following account opening. Once the 90 days is up, earn 2% cash back on all non-PIN purchases when your Account Balance is $5k or more. Or, earn 1% cash back on purchases when your Account Balance is less than $5k – either way you won’t find another bank in America that gives you more rewards on debit.
