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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Geopolitics & Macroeconomics adds:

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

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

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

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.

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.

Ask yourself, what are my company’s core capabilities? If your answer is simply, restating the product you sell, you are most likely incoherent. The coherence premium is a high level strategy used by some of the largest (and most profitable) corporations in America. Companies that are “coherent” can define 3-6 capabilities internally that differentiate them within their industry, build a deep workable strategy focused on “winning,” and develop product portfolio based around their capabilities.

What makes the coherence premium such an interesting topic? The fact that companies who are “coherent” are healthier, more profitable and better set up for long-term growth. Coca-Cola, a poster child for coherence, (almost 100 on the Coherence Capabilities Score) sees on average 20% higher earnings before interest and taxes than profiled companies with a Coherence Capabilities Score of less than 20.

Take Wal-Mart for instance, they’ve aligned all of their capabilities:

• Aggressive vendor management


• Expert point-of-sale data analytics


• Superior logistics


• Rigorous working capital management

Simple, but to the point, Wal-Mart understands their internal capabilities, which stretch from logistics all the way to IT. Capabilities should be specific enough that they exact a point of where you stop competing and start excelling your industry. A more thorough example of a capability would be, “A company’s ability to use customer-data mining to develop new products.”

Benefits

1. Strengthens a Companies Competitive Advantage


2. Companies are Better Prepared For The Future


3. Produces Efficiencies of Scale


4. Aligns Strategic Intent and Day-To-Day Decision Making

Steps

1. Ways to Play- learn how your company provides value and the way you will face the market.

• Are we investing capabilities that matter to the way we play?


• Are we clear about the way we choose to create value in the marketplace?

2. Capabilities System -determine your 3-6 core capabilities.

• Have we defined how these capabilities work with our system?


• Do all of our businesses draw upon this superior system?

3. Build a Strategy For a Balanced Portfolio – Build your future growth and product initiates to maximize your core capabilities.

• Have we found our product and service “sweet spot”


• Are new products and acquisitions determined on the way the fit within our capabilities system?

Understanding your core capabilities and becoming coherent is not necessarily the easiest thing to do. Your capabilities should be assessed with a healthy mix of both internal and external information and careful thought. All of this is worth the hassle; coherent companies consistently reap more profits, are better prepped for the future and place themselves atop their industries by innovating.

Making Money With Youtube

UPDATE, my original post is below. I tuned in for the Charlie Sheen show, but only about 200,000 people were in the channel at peak and the show was very boring and viewers quickly went away. So, this won’t be the “event” that proves this post’s thesis right.

UPDATE2: Ustream now claims that more than 666,000 views were generated during the course of the hour last night. Wild.

+++++++++++++++

Tonight Charlie Sheen will be on Ustream.tv in what could be a massive night for that video network. How massive? Sheen broke all records on Twitter, gaining 1.78 million followers in less than a week. No one else, not even Oprah or Obama or Beiber, has gotten so many so fast.

I talked with one of the guys involved, Barry Schuler, who told me his partner, Brad Wyman, is the one who convinced Sheen to tweet and convinced him to break all the rules, get rid of the press and PR, and go directly to his fans. Sheen’s show is part of “WyTV” on Ustream.

But that’s all fun and games compared to what YouTube is facing tonight.

See, YouTube looked like it was going to score the final touchdown in video. One where they were running down the field 50 yards ahead of the opponents, but 10 yards from the goal line it looks to me they are stumbling and fumbling the ultimate goal: where the entertainment comes over and starts making the real money.

See, as Apple’s Steve Jobs has shown the rest of the tech industry that we can live in a world without Microsoft (even Microsoft’s biggest partner, HP, shows off devices that don’t have any Microsoft code on them now) Charlie Sheen might be the guy who shows the entire entertainment industry that they can live in a world without YouTube.

Fumble!

See, we all know YouTube can stream live content. We’ve seen them do it with FarmAid, Haiti, and U2.

But they don’t let US live stream. Why? The entertainment industry lawyers hate that idea. They know that thousands of people will turn on live streams of the Oscars, of the SuperBowl, of their movies, and other things.

That is a box that they don’t want opened.

But Charlie Sheen might, tonight, open that box anyway and BLOW IT UP!

This is the day that YouTube could end up fumbling on its most important goal right before the REAL money starts coming to the Internet.

Winners?

Ustream, who should be counting their lucky stars (if their service stays up, already, with hours to go there are 650 people in the chat on Sheen’s channel).

*Amazon, who is ready with live video streaming service to jump in and compete with Netflix.

*Netflix, who already demonstrates to me every day they can stream live content and make money doing so.

* All these services need to do is let US stream and they win and knock YouTube’s ball right out of their hands.

It’s too bad that the Google of new isn’t as brash and fun to watch as the Google of old. The Google of old would have turned on video streaming long ago.

By the way, Google, this is one HUGE lever you have to get us all interested in owning a Google TV box and also getting us onto Android.

See, my iOS device isn’t very good at playing Ustream’s live streams.

But if you did live YouTube streams, I bet my Android devices and my Google TV would view those, right?

Now THAT is how to make my “apps are the only thing that matters” argument go away quickly!

But, instead, it looks like you’re fumbling the ball.

Go Charlie Go!

YouTube is still trying to figure out how to link up with Hollywood. Maybe Alex Carloss will help.

Until last week, Carloss was head of digital distribution at Viacom’s Paramount. Now he’s a Google employee, working on YouTube’s content acquisition team. [UPDATE: Readers tell me Carloss left Paramount last fall.]

He’ll work with Robert Kyncl, the Netflix veteran Google hired last year to figure out its strategy for working with Hollywood and other professional content-makers, which have yet to give the giant site all the video it wants.

A Google rep confirmed the hire; I’ve asked Paramount about their plans to replace Carloss, who had been at the company for six years. He’d previously worked at MGM, RealNetworks, Electronic Arts, Warner Bros, and Disney.

After Google brought Kyncl on last fall, I assumed he would follow the script he’d used at Netflix, and start writing huge checks to the studios in order to get their movies and TV shows on the site. But while Google did buy the digital rights for the Miramax catalog last fall–I’m told the company paid out about $100 million for that deal–so far that seems to be an outlier.

Google/YouTube/Kyncl have been reaching out to content-makers in other ways, though. As New York magazine reported last month, the site has been talking to Hollywood talent about creating cable tv-style “channels” for the site. The basic idea: Famous people would help create and curate content for the site, and share ad revenue.

While that doesn’t sound nearly as sexy as, say, locking up the Warner Bros. catalog for a YouTube exclusive, there is a logic there. YouTube is already striking up partnerships with lots of people you’ve previously never heard of, and making mini-stars out of several of them. And the main reason the company is set to buy Next New Networks is that it likes some of that startup’s acumen in building out new video franchises.

And while Google has denied a report that it was looking to create a Netflix-style streaming service in the U.K., I wouldn’t be surprised if it did spend money to procure content outside the U.S.. It’s already begun making noises about buying the rights to American sports leagues for streaming deals in other countries–the Web video market outside the U.S. isn’t nearly as established, or as expensive, as it’s become in this country.

What to Expect When Getting a Roofers

When the time comes to correct or even replace your roof, it can be a daunting task to locate someone who is competent for the job. There are lots of roofing contractors out there, however the types who'll perform a congrats for any sensible cost are not frequently easy to find. If you are in the marketplace for a service provider, use the tips beneath for interviewing and employing the right one.

Interview and Consultation

Most roofers offer totally free consultations. This is especially important, since it provides them an opportunity to assess what your roof requirements, also it provides you with an opportunity to evaluate all of them. As with all businesses, believe in intuition about the people a person allow up on your roofing. No matter how good a contractor's status or even suggestion, he or she should start by presenting a person with a business greeting card. If the service provider arrives looking and speaking within an unprofessional manner, chances are that the job he's going to do may also be unprofessional. This is not to say that you should expect companies to reach within fits. They is going to be hiking in your roofing, therefore the majority of will be dressed up in jeans and function footwear or even athletic shoes. If the actual service provider appears to be interested in speaking on his cell phone while on your homes roof than he's within evaluating your roof's requirements, that may be an additional sign that he is not the one for the job. For your legal protection, make sure that the actual contractor offers sufficient liability insurance.

Roof Assessment

Expect that the service provider will be rising in your roofing. Actually, any service provider who does not need to increase in your roofing to judge the problem ought to be instantly reduced. Those who are seriously interested in their own work may either create a drawing of your roof's surface area as well as tag problem areas onto it as they undergo their own evaluation, or even they'll take photos or video of the surface while they are available online for. This is a very essential action, since it enables you to observe exactly what the troubles are and know how they'll be fixed.

Estimation

The next phase will be the written estimation. The contractor will take away his loan calculator and are available up with an itemized estimation. Some companies will go out to their own vehicle or even truck and write up the actual proposal, while others will crunch the numbers for the job prior to you. Once you are given the proposal, ensure that you understand exactly which items is going to be utilized, just how long the task will take and when there are any additional or even hidden expenses that could arise during the repair of the roof. The contractor should be able to solution many of these questions with ease as well as forewarn you of any additional costs that might be incurred if the roof's ethics end up being damaged inside.

After you have received a few created estimates from roofing companies, evaluate exactly what each organization or even contractor is willing to provide for that price. Do not always low cost the highest bet, simply because sometimes the highest bid will in reality be the service provider who does the job correctly. Also, be skeptical associated with bids that are not nearly as expensive others. They may be using substandard items or perhaps be unethical concerning the chance of hidden expenses. Above all, trust your intuition and opt for the service provider who makes you feel quite comfortable about handing over your hard earned money.

 

Seven Uyghurs Sentenced to Death

2011-03-23

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

 

AFP

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

'Strike hard' campaign

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Earlier cases

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

New training scheme

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

An Urumqi resident surnamed Li agreed.

 

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

 

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

Wikileaks and the Uyghur People

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

Whether it were actually in doubt, info obtained through the whistleblower website, Wikileaks, has confirmed Chinese language government worries more than it's ongoing charge of the region this calls Xinjiang, also is referred to as Eastern Turkestan. The leaked out wires from U.S. diplomats demonstrate the degree to which Chinese language authorities make an effort to persuade governments globally to consider its position upon problems impacting Uyghurs. The actual cables additionally display the actual United States' concerns as well as views regarding the ongoing repressive steps in the area.

The majority of illuminating associated with Chinese government stress are the cables pointing to Chinese language frustration, or even the specter associated with Chinese language ire, over the release of Uyghur detainees in Guantánamo to 3rd nations. A Dec Twenty nine, 08 cable television applies how Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Jieyi met using the Ough.S. Ambassador in order to China in order to voice Beijing's powerful competitors associated with release in order to any country other than The far east, which when the U.Utes. did certainly accede to this request it would "avoid injury to bilateral relations and also to cooperation ‘in important areas'". In addition, the Feb 2009 cable describes the way the Chinese language Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Yannian, regarded as the possible release of Uyghur Guantánamo detainees because "an unfavorable behave towards us" along with a "slap in the face". That the U.Utes. government stood firm in not really releasing the detainees to The far east demonstrates the degree of the politicized nature from the Chinese judicial program. Legitimate issues over terrorism are understandable, but in the actual Ough.S. government's view the detainees would most likely face torture and delivery if they came back to China

Chinese language federal government stress regarding the actual Uyghur Guantánamo detainees wasn't only applied to the Ough.S. government, but also to New Zealand along with a number of Western government authorities which were thinking about resettlement. Albania, Germany and Finland, in addition to Eu member says just about all have the symptoms of borne the actual impact associated with Chinese federal government disappointment. In the case of Indonesia, that was initially willing to consider 2 Uyghurs on purely humanitarian reasons, Uyghur Guantánamo cases had been much less better than other detainees due to the unwanted effects accepting Uyghurs would have on relationships along with The far east. The Might Eight, '09 cable television applies how "German Ambassador Michael Schaefer reported which Germany experienced knowledgeable China of the Ough.Utes. request to simply accept a few Uighur detainees held at Guantánamo and had been consequently warned by The far east of ‘a large burden upon bilateral relations' in the event that Germany were to accept any detainees".

The diplomatic cables also talk about the actual unrest within Urumchi, the local funds, within July 2009. A This summer 13, '09 cable television talking about bulk incidents within The far east states:

"Ethnic riots such as those who work in Xinjiang This summer 5-7 as well as in Tibet within 03 associated with 2008 vary substantially in origin as well as character through bulk occurrences, XXXXXXXXXXXX stressed in order to PolOff [Political Officer] upon XXXXXXXXXXXX. Both existing severe trouble for the actual Celebration, XXXXXXXXXXXX stated, but the Celebration management would not hesitate to spread out fireplace upon Uighurs or Tibetans if they deemed it essential to recover order. Bulk incidents pose a different type of threat, he said, since the management is ‘afraid' to fireplace on Han rioters for fear of causing huge public outrage that will change against the Celebration."

This is a chilling opinion, especially when 1 views evidence presented in two reviews launched this season by the Uyghur Individual Privileges Project (UHRP) and Amnesty International that detail eyewitness company accounts of the utilization of deadly reside fireplace against Uyghur protestors in This summer 2009. In addition, the actual observation that fire would not be used against Han Chinese language protestors has resonances for that various strategy used through Chinese language security forces in Urumchi in order to Han Chinese language protests within Sept '09. During individuals protests, then Party Secretary, Wang Lequan, addressed demonstrators, who had demanded that he inform them regarding government responses in order to protection concerns. A similar request to meet with the Party Assistant through Uyghur demonstrators within July wasn't fulfilled.

The broader consequences of the unrest also saw a brief discussion about the impact it would possess upon Iran-China relationships, and on relations along with Australia after Globe Uyghur Our elected representatives Leader, Microsoft. Rebiya Kadeer, talked in the National Press Membership within Canberra within August 2009. In the latter situation, china federal government "privately warn[ed] a significant Aussie bank that sponsors the National Push Membership to make use of its influence to block a Kadeer talk there".

The actual United States' issues about the situation within the Uyghur region are available via within the wires. Inside a discussion upon plan direction in Tibet, U.S. officials explain that it'll be not possible for Chinese frontrunners to adopt the much softer collection "if they look like they are doing this under worldwide pressure". The cable television out dated April Sixteen, 2008, 30 days after the outbreak associated with unrest in Tibetan areas, additionally relayed the actual observation "that household stability remains the leadership's top priority most of all, which means there'll ‘almost surely' be absolutely no relaxation from the present difficult line on Tibet or perhaps in locations like Xinjiang." The info contained in the cable also sheds gentle about the extreme level of sensitivity with which the Chinese federal government views territorial integrity, and the possible spill more than of unrest from Tibet.

The prospect of solutions to tensions within Tibet and Xinjiang as a result of civil society are discussed inside a February 24, 2008 cable. While suggesting which China's economic success increases it's potential to deal with democratic reform, the actual cable television additionally discusses how Chinese leaders see the effectiveness of "a restricted growth associated with civil society, including improvements in the guideline of law along with a more powerful role for approved religions, NGOs, charities along with other stars within areas which bring about social balance and don't challenge Communist Celebration guideline." This can be a notable alternation in considering, which has observed U.Utes. officials market the idea that Chinese language financial development, as well as financial relations with The far east brings about a steadily democratic culture; however, much more belief seems to be put into a grassroots movement compared to one which begins from the top quantity of a Chinese federal government. Nonetheless, the cable proves that "[i]n places for example Tibet as well as Xinjiang, the fear associated with separatism results in tighter restrictions about the development of municipal society." This approach is viewed as counter-productive by the recognized, who suggests that the Ough.S. government "should still express...serious concerns more than Beijing's individual privileges report as well as appeal to China's developing consciousness that greater regard for individual rights, religious freedom and the guideline of law assists to advertise the development as well as social balance which The far east seeks as well as to improve China's international image." Such a technique might consider considerable diplomatic skills considering "China's paranoid fear that the United States secretly encourages routine change as well as ‘separatists' in Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang".

The actual wires offer understanding of the actual every day company associated with diplomacy that's hardly ever afforded to everyone, which is fascinating to note the amount of function carried out behind closed doors on Uyghur problems. The importance of the actual role of the us like a monitor of Uyghur human rights problems in personal conversations is created obvious, as well as contrasts with its sensible open public stance. The staff of the Uyghur Human Privileges Task is comfortable with pressure china government exerts on Uyghur activists; nevertheless, the facts associated with Chinese language government pressure on it's counterparts is illustrative from the diploma which Chinese language officials attempt to suppress contrary stories. With more facts to come through Wikileaks, issues more than Uyghurs might not grab the actual head lines, but the cables possess get rid of brand new light about the documentation associated with individual rights problems in the Uyghur region.

Little about the Uyghur People

In the middle of the desert landscapes of Taklamakan, in the northern-western part of China, the land of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region is a least populated land while it covers close to a sixth of the nation's area. Having resisted during hundreds of years the Han Chinese domination, Xinjiang, or Old Eastern Turkistan, fell under the Chinese Han domination in 1949. From then, its population is mainly Uyghurs and Turkic - speaking System.

Muslim most importantly, the Uyghur people have a deep religious identification which usually, in specific, enabled them to maintain a solid difference in opposition to the Chinese invader. Indeed, the Uyghur Kingdom of Mongolia knew a excellent civilization, until its absorption by the Mongolian Empire in the XIIIth century.

During their background, the Uyghur People successively adopted Shamanism, Manicheism, Buddhism and the Nestorianism before finally changing to Islam when the Arab conquerors beat the Chinese in year 751 BC., as a result beginning the way to the Islamization of the entire Central Asia.

Under the effect of the beliefs which they taken on, 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 coming of Islam was a great modification simply because it was followed by the assimilation of the Uyghur land in the enormous Turco-Mongolian and Muslim Kingdom. Thus, the descendants of Genghis Khan slowly replaced their writing by a Arabo-Persan alphabet, still used presently.

If their own writing, their language and their religion mark a real big difference with the tradition of Chinese Han, Uyghur People also are different from their aspect, so characteristic 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 integrated the proper identity of these remote people, though they represent only 8 million population - a little for this immense country. Thus, the Uyghurs are now part of the fifty six racial minority groups having been well known in an official way by China.

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

The integration of the Uyghurs and their culture in the People's Republic of China, however, looks really illusory. The presence of all-natural sources in Xinjiang, and its proximity with nations known as sensitive, clearly urged the government to increase the sinicization of this area. Million of Han thus came to settle in this new Chinese eldorado, monopolizing the higher 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 flexibility, but mainly the acceptance of their true identity, this movement was severely repressed by the power authorities in area 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 population continues today to proudly keep their identification and their ethnic heritage , even though they become a minority on their own land.

Secrets to Making Money

I have a 15 year old cousin with autism, whose parents are trying to plan for the future when they're not around to take care of him anymore. My uncle is in his mid 60's, and my aunt is somewhere in her 40's. I'm 24. My cousin will be classified as a disabled adult upon turning 18, and will probably have to be institutionalized at some point.



I received a call from my semi-estranged uncle asking if I'd be willing to administer the cousin's inheritance. I haven't seen these relatives for a few years. Semi-estranged due to family drama (which I'm not directly involved in) over the uncle's treatment of his other child. This mess also means that my uncle's other child is probably out of the running to look after my cousin with autism. I'm willing to consider acting as trustee, but I need a lot more information.



So .... if you have any experience with this sort of thing, I'd love to hear from you. I'm wondering about:



1) What kind of support does the US give to disabled adults? If it matters, cousin lives in TX. I'm still in graduate school, with no idea where I'll settle. Will my cousin be provided with somewhere safe to live, or is he out on the street as soon as my uncle's money runs out? Or does it make sense for the money to run out sooner, so government help kicks in (as seems to be the case for some instances of elder care)?



2) Is there any way for me to wind up on the hook for my cousin's care? I have no intention of agreeing to this if I will wind up legally responsible for supporting my cousin out of my own earnings. I also have no intention of ever being a physical caretaker.



3) My uncle pitched this as my only job being to control the investments and cut checks when necessary. What other duties am I likely to wind up with? What types of decisions will I have to be making, and what degree of involvement with my cousin's day-to-day life will be required?



4) Do professionals exist who do this for a fee, or does it always just fall onto family?



5) What about the other cousin? What are the legal ramifications of leaving an unequal inheritance?



6) What other questions do I need to be asking my uncle? I will have no problem asking awkward questions, or saying no to this request.



Before I sign onto anything, I'll definitely be consulting a lawyer, but that's a way into the future. I have on the order of a year to make this decision.



Anonymous because these really aren't my secrets to spill all over the internet, and it's easy to figure out my identity from my posting history.



I will be following this thread, and can answer questions through one of the admins. If you want to contact me directly, I can be reached at autistic_cousin@hotmail.com.





I have a 15 year old cousin with autism, whose parents are trying to plan for the future when they're not around to take care of him anymore. My uncle is in his mid 60's, and my aunt is somewhere in her 40's. I'm 24. My cousin will be classified as a disabled adult upon turning 18, and will probably have to be institutionalized at some point.
