Making Money Your





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.”








Ryan Gavin and Dean Hachamovitch, Marketing Guy and Engineer, respectively, for Internet Explorer, have announced that the final build and release of Internet Explorer 9 will indeed be at the party they’re throwing at South by Southwest in Texas on March 14th, 2011. They’ve decided to first announce this to their very favorite community at Channel9, a bunch of developers who are in love with the internet platform, and they’ve spoken here in a video at length what the browser will be able to do.




This browser has been in production for approximately a year, and now they’re going to release it, thanking profusely the community of developers who have stepped up to help them in making this a platform that has a chance at competing with the rest of the powerhouse browsers out in the market today. As you know, Internet Explorer


Hachamovitch will be doing a keynote at MIX 10 as well, showing off how the platform is rolling out, as a sort of “look what we did in a year” sort of thing. These two fellas sitting on the couch are super excited about this rollout and after saying what they came to say, they made sure to prompt Channel9 for what they call an “uncomfortable question.” What Channel9 decided to ask about was HTML5, to which they reply “WE’RE FOR IT!”


Of course the developer community knows this already, so the question is pressed, beyond what HTML5 can do for the everyday user, what does IE9 offer the fringe users who want features that not everyone will use? Hachamovitch replies with a sort of well, we DO do that, we’ve implemented things like Navigation Timing which “got 0% usage on the web,” he then going on to say that they’ve added items that don’t just come from developers who request things, they’ve essentially come up with elements that they and people at Yahoo, Google, and etc have spoken about behind the scenes, bringing these “fringe” features into IE9 at launch.



Essentially what they’re speaking about in this video and what will be coming with Internet Explorer 9 is depth as well as quality implementation of features. We’re hoping for the best!

Titles from major book publisher Random House will now appear in Apple’s iBooks store. The news was one of many talking points covered earlier today at Apple’s media event. Random House had previously been the only major publisher not represented in Apple’s popular iOS book store, as it was not willing to grant Apple the 30% cut taken on titles sold through iBooks. The addition of Random House is a major coup for Apple as it looks to compete with the likes of Amazon’s Kindle bookstore and other popular offerings. Hit the break for Apple’s full press release.


Random House, Inc. Makes Entire US Catalog of 17,000 ebooks Available on Apple’s iBookstore


iBookstore Now Features More than 2,500 Publishers, Including All Six Major Trade Publishers


SAN FRANCISCO—March 2, 2011—Apple® today announced that Random House, Inc., the largest trade book publisher in the US, has made its full catalog of 17,000 ebooks available on Apple’s iBookstore℠, including bestsellers by Stieg Larsson, John Grisham, Dan Brown, Danielle Steel, Laura Hillenbrand, Cormac McCarthy, Lee Child and many more of the world’s preeminent authors. Starting today, customers can pre-order upcoming releases from Random House including Lisa Gardner’s “Love You More,” Suze Orman’s “The Money Class” and Jean Auel’s “The Land of Painted Caves.” With the addition of Random House, the iBookstore now offers ebooks from all six major trade publishers and thousands of independent publishers.


“We are delighted that Apple’s iBookstore now will be carrying Random House’s US ebooks for the first time,” said Markus Dohle, Random House’s Chairman and CEO. “And we look forward to bringing our 17,000 ebooks to Apple customers.”


“We’re thrilled to offer Random House on the iBookstore,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of Internet Services. “iBookstore customers have already downloaded more than 100 million books in less than one year, and we think they’ll love being able to choose from Random House’s incredible selection of titles to enjoy on their iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.”


iBookstore customers can choose from a wide selection of illustrated and video-enhanced books that look incredible on iPad™, including Jay-Z’s memoir “Decoded” and Bing West’s “The Wrong War”; bestselling children’s series such as Magic Tree House and Junie B. Jones; and cookbooks by Martha Stewart, Rachael Ray, and the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten. Random House, Inc. comprises more than 80 adult and children’s US publishing imprints including Alfred A. Knopf, Doubleday, Crown, Pantheon Books, Vintage, Ballantine and Bantam.


The iBookstore, included in Apple’s free iBooks® app, is the best way to browse, buy and read books on your iPad, iPhone® and iPod touch®. iBookstore offers ebooks from more than 2,500 publishers in more than 20 categories, including Mysteries & Thrillers, Biographies & Memoirs, Cookbooks, Children’s & Teen, Humor, Romance, Business and Travel.

In February of 2007, 83.24 percent of users visiting TechCrunch did so from a Windows machine. One year later, in February 2008, the stranglehold remained firm at 80.44 percent. In February 2009, the number was at 74.04 percent. Last year, it was 61.59 percent. And this year? The number of people visiting our site from Windows machines dipped to 53.84 percent.


The writing is on the wall.


Look at those numbers again for a second. In four years, Windows share among TechCrunch readers has fallen 30 percentage points. That’s incredible.


The knee-jerk reaction in the comment section will likely be something like “it’s because you guys cover Apple so much”. But the fact of the matter is that Macintosh share, after rising for three of those four years, fell last year as well. It’s the mobile devices — specifically the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices — that are eating away at Windows.


In fact, if the trend over the past four years continues at about the same pace, in two years, devices made by Apple (Macs, iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads) will surpass devices that run Windows as the top visitors to TechCrunch. And depending on how popular the iPad 2, iPhone 5, and OS X Lion are, it could easily happen next year.


Here are the broken down numbers:


Feb 2007



  • Windows: 83.24%

  • Mac: 13.59%

  • Linux: 2.51%


Feb 2008



  • Windows: 80.44%

  • Mac: 15.15%

  • Linux: 2.97%

  • iPhone: 0.77%

  • iPod: 0.15%


Feb 2009




  • Windows: 74.04%

  • Mac: 20.48%

  • Linux: 3.01%

  • iPhone: 1.60%

  • iPod: 0.28%

  • Android: 0.09%


Feb 2010




  • Windows: 61.59%

  • Mac: 28.62%

  • iPhone: 4.07%

  • Linux: 3.49%

  • Android: 0.87%

  • iPod: 0.53%


Feb 2011




  • Windows: 53.84%

  • Mac: 27.64%

  • iPhone: 6.72%

  • iPad: 3.44%

  • Linux: 3.28%

  • Android: 3.06%

  • iPod: 0.62%


While even the last batch of stats shows that Windows still has a nice cushion over number two, Mac, if you add the Apple products put together, it’s a different story.



  • Feb 2007: 13.59% Apple products

  • Feb 2008: 16.07% Apple products

  • Feb 2009: 22.36% Apple products

  • Feb 2010: 33.22% Apple products

  • Feb 2011: 38.42% Apple products


In the four year span, Apple has added 25 percentage points to their share among TechCrunch readers. That nearly all of the 30 percentage points that Windows lost in that same span (Android’s growth pretty much fills in the rest).


So it currently stands at Microsoft’s 53.84 percent versus Apple’s 38.42 percent. Again, a big year for iPad, iPhone, and Mac could mean a changing of the guard as soon as next year. But unless something drastic changes, you can be sure that Apple will be dominant among TechCrunch readers in two years.


The latest rumors have Windows 8 showing up sometime in mid/late 2012. But the fact of the matter is that Windows 7, much more widely praised than the disaster that was Vista, hasn’t helped Microsoft buck this trend among our readers. Perhaps they’re only hope of gaining back share at this point is Windows Phone. So far, that hasn’t been going too well. Nokia should help that, but will it be enough to offset the Windows losses?


Humorously, Microsoft’s best hope for not falling to Apple may well be Android. If Google’s platform continues to make gains, it could prolong Apple passing Microsoft.


But again, Apple has iPhone 5, iPad 2, and OS X Lion on the immediate horizon — all within the next few months. And then there’s the very real possibility of another iPad in the fall.


The iPad 2 and iPhone 5 are likely to push the Apple share forward immediately. But don’t sleep on OS X Lion either. The early indications are that Apple has indeed made it much more iOS-like. That means millions of iPad/iPhone/iPod touch owners who have traditionally been PC users, are going to feel a lot more comfortable on a Mac than ever before.


And a new PC-to-Mac data migration system built in to Lion will only help that.


OS X Lion is going to feed off of iOS users, and vice versa. And the Mac ecosystem is going to continue to expand. Just as happened in the browser world with Chrome taking over, a transition is happening among TechCrunch readers in the ecosystem space. The numbers don’t lie. And Microsoft better pray that our readers aren’t leading indicators of overall trends in the space — which is exactly what you have been in the past.

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.

  1. Nick – Appreciate the post. But to clarify, I said nothing of the sort. What I said is that *eventually* Facebook will no longer be a viable *primary* marketing channel for startups. To quote: "Don't get me wrong – Facebook is still a fantastic channel, but for a newcomer, especially for a newcomer trying to make a mark in a category already dominated by an incumbent (e.g., social gaming) it will never have the same efficacy it had back in 2007. " I would be pretty surprised if you didn't agree with that.


    Comment by @sarahtavel — March 7, 2011 @ 9:32 pm





  2. I agree with you, that Facebook is very much a huge pool of opportunity for startups, and especially social media ones. It very well could have lost appeal in some ways, but as the platform expands, it gains other benefits.


    For example, http://www.colorwarfare.com is a social news startup that puts the spin of group competitions into posting to Facebook and Twitter, and ranks posts based on social engagement from both networks. That means, when you post, it pushes through to both social networks, getting more face time as it enters the news feeds and tweet streams.


    Comment by @colorwarfare — March 7, 2011 @ 10:25 pm





  3. excellent rebuttal, nick.

  5. Great response.


    I can see where Sarah was coming from in regards to the phasing out of Facebook, but for now Facebook is the best platform for communicating. Moreover, Facebook also has many advantages that previous social networks do not have like access to a more knowledgable, internet engaged consumer base.


    Thanks for the post


    Sebastian

  6. Nick, you are so right. Facebook is still an incredibly powerful platform, and will continue to be so as long as people use it. There is just no better way to accurately target people who would be interested in your product/service/content.


    My company, Unicorn Booty, is the perfect case study. Facebook was originally our main marketing channel, and coupled with steady commitment to it, we have blossomed to over 42,000 followers on Facebook. And, as a content platform, it drives a staggering amount of traffic to our content! And, compared to other channels, it costs nothing for a huge return.


    My business would not have achieved such growth in less than a year if it hadn't been for the Facebook platform and the ease of finding people that would love what we do.


    And again, as long as people use Facebook, it will continue being a powerful tool for those with less-than-stellar marketing budgets to gain significant traction.

What to anticipate Whenever Hiring a Roofer

When it comes time to correct or even replace your homes roof, it can be a challenging task to locate someone who is competent to do the job. There are lots of roofing companies available, however the types who will do a congrats for a reasonable price aren't frequently easy to find. If you're in the market for the service provider, make use of the tips below with regard to interviewing and hiring the correct one.


Job interview and Discussion


November 2004 - Job Interview at ACOTEL West 33rd St, Time Square - Third Month in New York by Gubatron

The majority of roofers provide free consultation services. This is particularly essential, because it gives them an opportunity to assess what your roof needs, also it provides you with an opportunity to evaluate them. As with all businesses, trust your intuition concerning the individuals a person let up onto your roof. No matter how good a contractor's reputation or recommendation, he or she ought to start by showing a person with a company card. If a service provider occurs looking as well as talking within an less than professional method, most likely the task he is going to perform will also be less than professional. This isn't to express that you should anticipate companies to reach within suits. They will be climbing on your roofing, so the majority of will be dressed up in jeans and function boots or athletic shoes. If the actual service provider seems to be more interested in speaking upon his mobile phone while on your roof compared to he is within evaluating your roof's needs, which may be another sign that he's not really the main one to do the job. For the lawful safety, make sure that the actual service provider has adequate liability insurance.

Roof Evaluation


let's face it -- this roof needs a redo by ​favourite waste of time​

Anticipate that the service provider is going to be rising on your roof. In fact, any kind of service provider who does not need to increase in your roofing to judge the issue ought to be instantly reduced. Those who're serious about their work will possibly make a drawing of your roof's surface area as well as mark trouble spots on it as they undergo their evaluation, or even they will consider pictures or video clip of the surface while they are up there. This is an extremely essential action, since it enables you to see exactly what the problems are as well as know how they'll be set.

Estimation


Man jumps from his roof by pjarrettphoto

The next step would be the written estimation. The service provider will take out his loan calculator and come up with a written estimate. Some contractors goes to their own truck or van as well as write up the actual suggestion, while others will crisis the actual numbers for the job prior to you. Once you are because of the proposal, ensure that you understand which products will be utilized, how long the job will take and when you will find any extra or even concealed costs that may arise throughout the repair of the roof. The service provider will be able to solution all of these concerns with ease and forewarn a person associated with a extra costs that could be sustained if the roof's integrity end up being broken inside.

Once you have received several written estimations from roofing companies, assess what each organization or contractor would like to offer you for the price. Do not necessarily discount the highest bet, because occasionally the highest bet will actually be the contractor who does the task properly. Additionally, be wary associated with prices for bids that are not nearly as expensive other people. They may be utilizing inferior products or perhaps be untruthful concerning the chance of hidden expenses. Most importantly, believe in instincts and go with the actual contractor that enables you to feel quite comfortable about giving more than your 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.

Whether it were actually in doubt, information acquired by the whistleblower web site, Wikileaks, offers verified Chinese federal government worries more than its ongoing charge of the region it calls Xinjiang, also is referred to as East Turkestan. The actual leaked cables through Ough.Utes. diplomats demonstrate the extent that Chinese language authorities make an effort to convince government authorities worldwide to consider it's stance on issues affecting Uyghurs.

Most lighting of Chinese language government stress would be the cables pointing in order to Chinese language frustration, or even the specter associated with Chinese language ire, within the release of Uyghur detainees within Guantánamo to 3rd nations. A December 29, 08 cable television applies how Chinese language Assistant Foreign Reverend Liu Jieyi met with the Ough.Utes. Ambassador in order to China to tone of voice Beijing's strong opposition associated with launch to any kind of country other than China, and that when the Ough.Utes. do certainly accede for this request it might "avoid harm to bilateral relations and to co-operation ‘in essential areas'". Furthermore, the February 2009 cable explains the way the Chinese language Ambassador in order to Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Yannian, regarded as the actual feasible release of Uyghur Guantánamo detainees because "an unfriendly act toward us" and a "slap within the face". That the Ough.S. federal government stood company within not releasing the detainees to China illustrates the actual degree from the politicized nature from the Chinese judicial program. Legitimate issues more than terrorism are understandable, however in the U.Utes. government's view the detainees would probably face do-it-yourself torture as well as execution when they returned in order to The far east

Chinese language government pressure in regard to the actual Uyghur Guantánamo detainees wasn't just applied to the U.Utes. government, but also to Brand new Zealand and a handful of European government authorities which were considering resettlement. Albania, Indonesia as well as Finland, as well as European Union fellow member states just about all have the symptoms of paid for the brunt of Chinese federal government unhappiness. Regarding Indonesia, that was at first willing to consider 2 Uyghurs upon purely relief grounds, Uyghur Guantánamo cases had been less preferable to other detainees because of the unwanted effects taking Uyghurs would have upon relations with The far east. A Might 8, '09 cable applies exactly how "German Ambassador Erina Schaefer reported that Germany had knowledgeable The far east of the U.S. request to simply accept some Uighur detainees held at Guantánamo and had already been consequently cautioned through The far east of ‘a heavy load upon bilateral relations' if Indonesia had been to accept any kind of detainees".

The actual diplomatic cables also discuss the unrest in Urumchi, the actual regional capital, within This summer 2009. A July Thirteen, 2009 cable television discussing mass incidents within China says:

"Ethnic riots such as those who work in Xinjiang July 5-7 and in Tibet in March associated with 2008 differ substantially within origin and character from mass occurrences, XXXXXXXXXXXX emphasized to PolOff [Political Officer] on XXXXXXXXXXXX. Each existing serious problems for the actual Party, XXXXXXXXXXXX stated, however the Party leadership wouldn't hesitate to spread out fireplace upon Uighurs or even Tibetans when they deemed this essential to restore purchase. Mass incidents present a different kind of risk, he explained, since the leadership is ‘afraid' to fire upon Han rioters for anxiety about sparking huge public outrage that will turn against the Party."

This is a relaxing opinion, particularly when 1 considers evidence presented in two reviews released this year by the Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) and Amnesty International which fine detail eyewitness company accounts of the use of deadly live fire towards Uyghur protestors within July 2009. Additionally, the declaration which fireplace wouldn't be used towards Han Chinese protestors offers resonances for the various approach used through Chinese language protection causes within Urumchi to Han Chinese language direct orders within Sept 2009. During those direct orders, then Celebration Secretary, Wang Lequan, addressed demonstrators, who experienced required that he let them know regarding federal government responses in order to security issues. A similar ask for to satisfy using the Celebration Secretary by Uyghur demonstrators within July wasn't met.

The actual wider consequences of the unrest additionally noticed a short dialogue about the effect it might possess on Iran-China relationships, as well as on relationships with Australia following World Uyghur Our elected representatives President, Ms. Rebiya Kadeer, talked at the National Push Membership within Canberra within August '09. Within the second option case, the Chinese government "privately warn[ed] a significant Aussie financial institution which sponsors the nation's Push Membership to make use of it's influence to block a Kadeer talk there".

The actual United States' concerns concerning the scenario in the Uyghur area are available via within the cables. Inside a discussion upon plan direction within Tibet, Ough.S. officials explain that it'll end up being not possible with regard to Chinese frontrunners to adopt a much softer line "if they look like they are doing this below international pressure". The cable out dated 04 Sixteen, 2008, one month after the episode of unrest in Tibetan areas, additionally relayed the declaration "that household balance continues to be leadership's top priority above all else, which means there will ‘almost surely' end up being no rest of the present hard line on Tibet or perhaps in places such as Xinjiang." The info contained in the cable television also sheds gentle on the severe sensitivity that china government sights territorial integrity, and also the feasible spill over associated with unrest from Tibet.

The prospect associated with solutions to tensions within Tibet as well as Xinjiang arising from municipal culture tend to be discussed in a February Twenty-four, 2008 cable. While recommending which China's economic achievement will increase its resistance to democratic reform, the actual cable also discusses how Chinese language leaders see the usefulness associated with "a limited expansion of civil culture, such as improvements in the guideline of law and a stronger part for authorized religions, NGOs, non profit organizations and other actors within areas that contribute to sociable balance and do not challenge Communist Celebration 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 culture; nevertheless, more faith appears to be placed in the grassroots motion than one that begins from the best levels of the Chinese government. Nonetheless, the actual cable television proves that "[i]n areas for example Tibet as well as Xinjiang, the fear of separatism results in tighter restrictions on the growth of municipal culture." This approach can be regarded as counter-productive by the official, who suggests that the actual U.Utes. government "should continue to express...serious issues over Beijing's human rights record as well as attract China's developing awareness that greater regard for human privileges, religious freedom and also the guideline of law will serve to promote the improvement as well as sociable stability which The far east seeks in addition to to improve China's international image." Such a technique would consider substantial diplomatic abilities considering "China's paranoid concern the United States privately promotes routine change as well as ‘separatists' within Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang".

The actual cables provide understanding of the daily company associated with diplomacy that's hardly ever owned by everyone, and it is interesting to notice the quantity of work done behind closed doors on Uyghur issues. The importance of the role of the us as a keep track of of Uyghur human rights conditions within personal conversations is made obvious, as well as contrasts with its sensible public stance. Employees of the Uyghur Individual Privileges Project is comfortable with pressure the Chinese government puts on Uyghur activists; nevertheless, the details of Chinese language federal government pressure upon its alternatives is illustrative of the degree that Chinese officials make an effort to suppress contrary narratives. With more facts to come from Wikileaks, issues over Uyghurs might not grab the actual headlines, but the cables possess get rid of new light on the documentation of individual privileges conditions within the Uyghur area.

Portraits of Uyghur People

In the center of the desert landscapes of Taklamakan, in the north-western part of China, the province of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region is the least populated land while it covers close to a sixth with the country's territory. Getting resisted during generations the chinese control, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, or Old East Turkistan, fell into under the Chinese Han control in 1949. From then, its population is generally Uyghur People and Turkic - speaking System.

Islamic most importantly, the Uyghur people have a very good religious identification which usually, in specific, enabled them to protect a solid big difference in opposition to the Chinese invader. Without a doubt, the Uyghur Empire of Mongolia knew a great civilization, until its absorption by the Mongolian Empire in the XIIIth century.

While in their history, the Uyghur People successively taken on Shamanism, Manicheism, Buddhism and the Nestorianism before finally moving to Islam when the Arab conquerors beat the Chinese in year 751 BC., therefore beginning the way to the Islamization of the complete 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 coming of Islam was a great change simply because it was accompanied by the absorption of the Uyghur areas in the immense Turco-Mongolian and Muslim Empire. 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 tradition of Chinese Han, the Uyghurs also differ from their characteristic, so characteristic of Central Asia's people. A matt skin, eyes representing a whole pallet of colors, from black to deep blue, features going out to the Mongolian, Turkish or Uzbek origins of these men and these women.

For a few years, China has integrated the proper identity of these remote people, although they represent only eight million population - a little for this particular immense region. Therefore, the Uyghurs are now part of the 56 racial minority groups having been well-known in an official way by the People's Republic of China.


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


The integration of the Uyghur people and their culture in China, however, seems really illusory. The presence of natural sources in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and its distance with countries identified as very sensitive, strongly encouraged the government to accelerate the sinicization of this area. Million of Han thus came to settle in this new Chinese eldorado, monopolizing the larger 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 especially the acceptance of their true identity, this movement was severely repressed by the power authorities in area Xinjiang.

The events 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 traditions , although they become a minority on their own land.

Making Money Scams





There are two major economies today in the world which are growing at a fast rate — India & China. In fact, both are being watched closely, and analysts predict that they will be the future economic super powers. There are varying reports as to who is outpacing the other.


Sadly though, there has been a negative side of this development as well: corruption and scandals are increasing alarmingly. And the magnitude of loot involved, as well as the large number of cases which are surfacing, makes one wonder what cost will society have to bear if unbridled corruption wreaks disaster on the development phenomenon. For, though scandals have been exposed and investigations are ordered, there has never been a single case of public money having been recovered. It is you and I who have to make good this loss to state exchequer by paying additional taxes.


In the eighties, there was the Bofors scandal. Rhetoric & politics aside, nothing tangible has happened to this date. Then there were stock market scandals, fodder scam and several others. But, what is being witnessed in the last few months in India is unprecedented.  First, there was this Commonwealth Games scam (Rs. 15000 million or US $326 million), {Rs. 1300 Crore deficit for Commonwealth Games, taxpayers will Pay} followed by the biggest ever 2G Spectrum Scam [] {What is 2G Spectrum?} (Rs. 1700000 million or US $ 38260 million). The list of recent spate of scams is long.


The deadliest cancer society is afflicted with today is corruption. If you it look up on Wikipedia, it describes the adjective form corrupt as ‘utterly broken’. That precisely describes the state of society as a result of this rotten practice by human beings the world over.


The disregard for spiritual or moral conduct for material pursuits leads to a depraved mental state in which the individual chases illicit wealth or other objects of desire.


This is an attempt to reflect on the many dimensions of this pervasive hydra-headed monster. At the extreme inner core of this evil practice is the perverse desire of the individual for self-gratification borne out of extreme greed. The frustrating thought that it has not been controlled, let alone eradicated, even though it is projected to be unlawful and damaging to society, makes me sick.
