Making Money Fast




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.

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.

With few surprises, techies were underwhelmed with Apple’s iPad 2 announcement, but I’m confident that consumers will be thrilled with the product. Apple already had a massive lead in the consumer tablet market it created, and these “underwhelming” upgrades should keep the company comfortably ahead. Apple has given competitors an opening by sticking to 3G, and it did not further pressure them with a lower entry price point or higher-resolution display. However, Apple has three critical advantages.




1. Brand: When consumers are thinking about tablets, they say they are buying an “iPad,” not a “tablet.” The iPad was already the category and volume leader, and the iPad 2 builds on that. In this respect, Apple actually benefits from the crowd of new tablets hitting the market. If there were only one or two strong competitors, consumers would be able to weigh the pros and cons of each offering, but with dozens and dozens of options hitting the market over the next few months, decision paralysis can set in and many consumers will throw up their hands and make the “safe” choice: the iPad.


2. iTunes: The iPad is still the only tablet on the market with a huge digital marketplace for movies, TV shows, and music. Some competitors are taking steps in this direction (e.g., Samsung’s Hub), but iTunes remains a significant competitive advantage.


3. App Store: If all you want to do is browse the Web and check e-mail, any tablet will probably suffice. However, Apple has an enormous lead in purpose-built apps. The Android ecosystem is strong and app availability should improve significantly over time, but the iPad 2 is considerably more versatile than any of its competitors right now, and it appears unlikely to lose its lead any time in the near future.


So if you are competing with Apple, what should you do? Rather than copying Apple’s products, copy its old advertising tag line and Think Different.


Apple’s brand is focused on creative types (or those who aspire to be), which is why it spends so much effort creating things like GarageBand. Competitors should target IT managers, knowledge workers, outdoorsy people, or some other group and build software and hardware combinations better suited to those use cases. Of course, this will take imagination and the ability to tie hardware, software, and services together to build unique experiences. There are some companies thinking outside the box (HTC and RIM have clearly differentiated products on their roadmaps), but for the vendors who are trying to out-Apple Apple… good luck. Here are some pointers, you’re going to need them:


• Based on Apple’s financials, it is clear that the iPad with WiFi is Apple’s volume product and 3G versions are merely gravy. Why is the competition only targeting the gravy?


• iTunes remains a significant competitive advantage for Apple – I cannot easily explain to novices how to get a movie onto the XOOM. Rivals need an “iTunes” of their own, but having one just achieves parity with Apple, so partnering is an acceptable approach. However, half measures are not enough; digital media stores must include movies (including rentals) and TV shows and music. If multiple partners are used, the tablet vendor still needs to provide a common interface and single account/billing relationship.


• Nintendo has a significant base of game developers targeting the 3DS; if you cannot muster equivalent resources (for gaming, media playback, or some other use), adding 3D to your tablet is just a gimmick.


• Apple’s rivals can compete on 4G, higher-resolution displays, or a lower price. Even speed is a potential differentiator from a technical perspective; NVIDIA has quad-core processors sampling this month, so rivals could build even faster tablets for this holiday season. However, I must still caution vendors that all of these factors are irrelevant if consumers do not want your product.

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.

foreclosure law



With all due respect to Prof. Levitan, his comment is over the top. This opinion is by a presiding judge in a large circuit. He has responsibilities to his judges to help them figure out how to deal with cases where novel, complicated arguments and fact patterns are being presented. I don’t know him, or much about him other than his abreviated CV, but he is in a position where he has incentives to get it right more than to prove that he’s right. There is a difference, and it’s a difference between being on the bench and being an academic (no disrespect, Prof. Levitan). Judges get respect from their peers for being helpful in moving cases along. Professors get attention by being different.


If the judge is wrong, he has the case and the basic rules set up pretty well for an appeal and the issues will be pretty clear. I don’t know if addressed all the claims by Ms. Congress, but I don’t think he needed to. The choice of law and enforceability of the note issues were pretty fatal.


This paragraph of Prof. Levitan’s seems almost entirely incorrect:


“Perhaps the most important thing to note about the opinion is what isn’t there. There was no consideration of the chain-of-title issue in the opinion. Let me repeat, the court said nothing about whether there was proper chain-of-title in the securitization. Instead, the court avoided dealing with it. That means that this ruling isn’t grounds for sounding the “all clear” on chain-of-title. At best, it is grounds for arguing that homeowners won’t be able to raise chain-of-title problems. As we’ve seen with Ibanez, that’s clearly incorrect, and a closer look at the Congress ruling shows that it might be an Alabama special, not applicable elsewhere.”


Which chain of title? The security interest or the note? As for the note, the court essentially said ownership of the note doesn’t matter when a party has enforcement rights. Prof. Bloom said as much in his testimony.


As for homeowner defenses, I disagree with Prof. Levitan because this case clearly does allow them at an eviction trial, and as I said earlier, allows them a pretty broad path. I see this as a homeowner win, or at least homeowner-favorable.


As for applying Ibanez, the key fact in that case was that there was no prior assignment of the security interest before the foreclosure process began (and the court was extremely liberal about how that could have happened, but still found that it hadn’t – kind of a game over for USBank), and that USBank tried to fix it after the fact, which it couldn’t. This opinion is often egregiously misrepresented as requiring recorded assignments in Mass. – it explicitly does not. It is also cited as involving MERS. It definitely does not, but it may well be a very pro-MERS case in application.


As for the applicability, state district court decisions are hard to cite for authority anyway, and usually a sign that 1) you’re reaching for anything, anything (aka “as some court somewhere held”); or 2) that you’re not familiar with in-state authority. At the district court level, I can only remember one time that I cited out-of-state law (Maryland, and I did so very reluctantly having lived there), and I don’t remember ever having other state cites used against me. I have a strong bias against it unless it’s absolutely necessary. In practice, too much involves statutes that are not perfectly comparable to other states, for one. But, in the case I used, the issue was exactly what I was looking for, a mortgagee’s obligation after receiving a payoff demand for an odd-ball lien securing two notes, and the mortgagee only provided one account, leaving the other note/account unpaid when all was said and done. The court here followed it and held a payoff demand for a single lien requires all relevant account balances to be provided. That was sweet.


More important was that Prof. Bloom agreed that the law regarding notes and mortgages would be Alabama law, and that Alabama has an identical statute to UCC 3-301 for the rights of enforcement by note holders that makes ownership less important than ownership rights. Prof. Levitan calls this a side-step, but it looks like the judge could have cared less who the owner was. Either he’ll be upheld, or he’ll be made to look foolish on appeal. What Adam calls a “side-step” on 1) the applicability of NY law; and 2) whether ownership matters when enforcement rights is really the issue are clearly identifiable questions of law for de novo appeal (that is, the trial court’s opinion on the law doesn’t count for anything).


The take away I have on this case is that Judge Vowell’s circuit allows more defenses to eviction than I am used to seeing. (Minneapolis and St. Paul both have Housing Courts that are cattle calls, and while the judges diligently enforce procedure on noticing the defendant(s), compliance with the Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009, naming all adult parties known who might have putuative independent possessory rights, etc., they do not throw the proceeding open very often to defenses like Ms. Congress’s and are almost always upheld on appeal, admittedly due in part to eviction appeals being exceedingly difficult and expensive if they’re not set up correctly).


What I don’t know is whether he and his judges figure “might as well” if the alternative is that they’re going to see waves of post-eviction quiet titles instead. A few Alabama practitioners perspective would help on this.


Also, it appears there were two trials on this and that makes untangling some of the procedure difficult. The judge says in the middle of page 7 that there was a “first trial.” I’m not sure what happened there or why there was a second trial. Yves?


So, yes. As a district court opinion, it isn’t legal precedent anywhere, just as any other district court anywhere opinion isn’t legal precedent anywhere – appeals courts review questions of law de novo. That’s not what Prof. Levitan said, and I’m pretty sure it’s not what he meant, either.





David J. Stern is winding up his infamous foreclosure practice, reports the Associated Press, citing a Securities and Exchange filing. The law firm's fall has been swift and steep, and it offers many reasons for schadenfreude: Stern lived the high life on the backs for borrowers foreclosed on with fraudulent documents, borrowers who weren't consistently given notice they were being foreclosed on. His firm's fall has exacerbated the problems in the Florida court system because his cases are being transferred to other lawyers who must now get up to speed on them.

But there's one thing his fall isn't, much as I wish it were, and that's the end of an era.

If we're to restore the rule of law in foreclosure cases, it's going to take a lot more than the fall of Stern's firm, which is just one of several "foreclosure mills" in Florida. Others are under investigation. Maybe some of them will fall too. Maybe not.

But the issue runs nationally, not just in Florida. Lender Processing Services (LPS) alone has hundreds of "network firms" following its due-process-abusing practices. A firm in Pennsylvania may have jeopardized thousands of foreclosures there by having nonlawyers do the cases. And the situation in nonjudicial states, where even foreclosure mills aren't necessary to take back homes, is worse.

If anyone hearing of the Stern firm's demise mistakes it for news that change has really come to the foreclosure world, that will be saddest news of all.

What to Expect When Getting a Roofing Contractor

When the time comes to repair or substitute your roof, it can be a daunting job to locate someone who is qualified for the job. There are lots of roofing contractors out there, but the ones who'll perform a congrats for a reasonable cost aren't often easy to find. If you are in the market for the contractor, use the tips below with regard to interviewing as well as employing the right one.


Job interview as well as Discussion


INTERVIEW: Lisa of Rabbitine &amp; Milktooth by milky robot ✂

Most roofing contractors offer totally free consultations. This is especially important, because it gives them a chance to evaluate what your homes roof requirements, also it provides you with an opportunity to evaluate all of them. As with all of companies, believe in intuition about the people you allow upward onto your roof. No matter exactly how good a contractor's reputation or even suggestion, he ought to begin by presenting a person having a business greeting card. If the service provider occurs searching and talking within an unprofessional manner, chances are that the job he's going to do will also be less than professional. This is not to express that you ought to anticipate contractors to arrive in fits. They is going to be climbing on your roofing, therefore the majority of will be dressed in jeans as well as function footwear or athletic shoes. If the contractor seems to be interested in talking upon his mobile phone during your homes roof than he is within analyzing your own roof's needs, which may be another indication that he's not the one to do the job. For the lawful protection, be certain that the actual service provider offers sufficient legal responsibility insurance.

Roofing Assessment


tolerant is... by NEXHMA (endrra)

Anticipate the service provider will be rising on your roof. Actually, any kind of service provider who not need to go up in your roofing to judge the problem ought to be immediately reduced. Those who're seriously interested in their own work may possibly create a sketching of your roof's surface area and tag trouble spots onto it as they undergo their evaluation, or they'll take pictures or even video clip of the surface while they are up there. This is a very important action, because it enables you to observe exactly what the problems are as well as understand how they'll be set.

Estimate


Alderbrook House by Emilio Guerra

The next step would be the written estimate. The contractor will take away his loan calculator and come track of a written estimation. Some companies goes out to their truck or van as well as write down the actual suggestion, while some may crunch the numbers for the job prior to you. Once you are because of the suggestion, ensure that you comprehend which items is going to be used, how long the task will require and when you will find any extra or concealed costs that could occur throughout the restore of the roofing. The contractor should be able to answer all of these concerns with ease as well as forewarn a person associated with a additional expenses that could be sustained should the roof's ethics be damaged inside.

Once you have received several created estimates from roofing companies, assess exactly what every company or even service provider is willing to provide for the cost. Do not necessarily discount the highest bet, because sometimes the highest bet will in reality function as the service provider who does the task properly. Additionally, be skeptical associated with bids that are not nearly as expensive other people. They might be utilizing inferior items or perhaps be unethical about the chance of hidden costs. Above all, believe in instincts and go with the service provider who makes you feel most comfortable about giving over 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.

Most lighting of Chinese language federal government stress would be the cables directed to Chinese anger, or the specter associated with Chinese ire, over the release of Uyghur detainees in Guantánamo to 3rd nations. The December Twenty nine, 08 cable relates exactly how Chinese language Helper Foreign Reverend Liu Jieyi met with the U.Utes. Ambassador in order to China in order to voice Beijing's powerful opposition associated with launch in order to any kind of country apart from The far east, which if the Ough.S. did indeed accede to this ask for it would "avoid injury to bilateral relationships and also to cooperation ‘in essential areas'". Furthermore, the Feb 2009 cable television describes how the Chinese Ambassador in order to Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Yannian, regarded the possible discharge of Uyghur Guantánamo detainees because "an unfriendly act towards us" along with a "slap in the face". The Ough.S. federal government stood firm within not releasing the actual detainees in order to The far east illustrates the degree from the politicized nature of the Chinese judicial system. Legitimate concerns more than terrorism are understandable, but in the Ough.Utes. government's view the detainees might probably face do-it-yourself torture and execution when they returned to The far east

Chinese language federal government pressure in regard to the actual Uyghur Guantánamo detainees wasn't just put on the actual Ough.Utes. federal government, but also to Brand new Zealand and a number of Western governments which were considering resettlement. Albania, Indonesia as well as Finland, in addition to European Union fellow member says all appear to have paid for the actual impact associated with Chinese language federal government unhappiness. In the case of Germany, that was at first prepared to consider two Uyghurs upon purely humanitarian grounds, Uyghur Guantánamo instances had been less preferable to other detainees due to the unwanted effects accepting Uyghurs would have on relations with China. The May 8, '09 cable relates how "German Ambassador Erina Schaefer documented that Germany had knowledgeable The far east from the U.S. ask for to simply accept a few Uighur detainees held at Guantánamo and had been consequently warned through The far east of ‘a heavy burden on bilateral relations' in the event that Germany were to simply accept any kind of detainees".

The diplomatic wires additionally discuss the unrest within Urumchi, the actual local funds, in This summer 2009. A July Thirteen, '09 cable discussing bulk occurrences within China says:

"Ethnic riots like those in Xinjiang This summer 5-7 as well as in Tibet within March associated with 2008 vary markedly in origin as well as character from mass occurrences, XXXXXXXXXXXX emphasized to PolOff [Political Officer] on XXXXXXXXXXXX. Both present severe problems for the Party, XXXXXXXXXXXX said, however the Party leadership wouldn't hesitate to open fire upon Uighurs or Tibetans if they deemed it necessary to restore order. Bulk occurrences pose a different kind of risk, he explained, as the management is ‘afraid' to fire on Han rioters for fear of causing huge public outrage that would turn against the Party."

This can be a relaxing viewpoint, particularly when 1 considers evidence presented in two reports launched this year through the Uyghur Individual Rights Project (UHRP) as well as Amnesty International that fine detail eyewitness company accounts of the utilization of deadly live fire against Uyghur protestors in July 2009. Additionally, the actual observation that fire would not be deployed towards Han Chinese language protestors offers resonances for the various strategy used by Chinese security causes within Urumchi in order to Han Chinese language protests in September '09. During individuals protests, then Party Secretary, Wang Lequan, addressed protesters, that had demanded that he let them know about government reactions in order to protection concerns. A similar ask for to meet with the Party Assistant through Uyghur demonstrators in July wasn't fulfilled.

The broader consequences of the unrest also noticed a short dialogue about the effect it would possess upon Iran-China relationships, and on relations with Sydney after World Uyghur Congress Leader, Ms. Rebiya Kadeer, spoke at the Nationwide Press Membership in Canberra within July 2009. In the second option situation, china federal government "privately warn[ed] a major Australian financial institution which vendors the nation's Press Club to make use of its influence to block the Kadeer speech there".

The U . s . States' issues about the situation within the Uyghur area are available via within the cables. Inside a dialogue upon plan path within Tibet, U.Utes. authorities explain that it will end up being not possible with regard to Chinese leaders to adopt the much softer line "if they look like doing so below worldwide pressure". The cable television dated April Sixteen, 2008, one month following the episode associated with unrest in Tibetan regions, also relayed the declaration "that household balance continues to be leadership's top priority most of all, which means there will ‘almost surely' be absolutely no relaxation from the current hard collection upon Tibet or in places such as Xinjiang." The information included in the cable television also sheds gentle on the extreme level of sensitivity with which china government views territorial ethics, and also the feasible spill more than associated with unrest from Tibet.

The prospect associated with methods to tensions in Tibet as well as Xinjiang as a result of civil culture are debated inside a Feb 24, 2008 cable. Whilst recommending which China's financial achievement increases its resistance to democratic reform, the actual cable additionally talks about exactly how Chinese language frontrunners see the effectiveness of "a restricted growth associated with municipal society, including improvements in the guideline of law along with a more powerful part for authorized beliefs, NGOs, non profit organizations along with other stars within areas that bring about sociable balance and don't challenge Communist Party rule." This can be a notable change in considering, which has seen Ough.Utes. officials market the notion that Chinese financial improvement, and financial relations along with China brings in regards to a steadily democratic culture; nevertheless, more belief seems to be placed in the grassroots motion than one that begins in the top quantity of a Chinese federal government. Nevertheless, the cable television proves that "[i]n areas for example Tibet as well as Xinjiang, driving a car associated with separatism results in tight limitations about the development of civil society." This approach is viewed as counter-productive by the official, who shows that the Ough.Utes. government "should continue to express...serious concerns over Beijing's human privileges record as well as attract China's developing consciousness which greater respect for human privileges, religious independence and also the guideline associated with regulation will serve to promote the very improvement and sociable balance that China looks for as well as to enhance China's worldwide picture." Such a strategy might consider considerable diplomatic abilities considering "China's paranoid fear the United States privately encourages regime change as well as ‘separatists' within Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang".

The cables provide understanding of the daily company associated with diplomacy that is hardly ever afforded to everyone, and it is interesting to notice the quantity of work carried out nowadays upon Uyghur problems. The significance of the actual part of the United States as a keep track of of Uyghur human privileges conditions in personal discussions is made clear, as well as contrasts with its tactful open public position. Employees of the Uyghur Individual Privileges Task is actually well aware of pressure china government puts on Uyghur activists; still, the facts associated with Chinese language government stress upon it's counterparts is illustrative from the degree that Chinese language officials make an effort to suppress contrary stories. With more revelations in the future from Wikileaks, issues more than Uyghurs might not get the head lines, however the cables possess shed brand new light about the documentation associated with individual privileges conditions in the Uyghur region.

Chinese government pressure in regard to the Uyghur Guantánamo detainees was not only put on the actual U.Utes. government, but also to Brand new Zealand and a number of European government authorities which were considering resettlement. Albania, Germany and Finland, in addition to Eu fellow member states just about all appear to have paid for the actual brunt of Chinese language federal government disappointment. Regarding Germany, which was initially prepared to consider 2 Uyghurs upon solely humanitarian reasons, Uyghur Guantánamo cases were much less preferable to other detainees due to the negative effects accepting Uyghurs would have on relationships with The far east. A May Eight, '09 cable television applies exactly how "German Ambassador Erina Schaefer documented that Germany had knowledgeable China from the U.S. request to simply accept some Uighur detainees kept at Guantánamo and had already been consequently warned through The far east associated with ‘a large load upon bilateral relations' in the event that Germany were to accept any detainees".

The diplomatic wires also talk about the actual unrest within Urumchi, the actual regional capital, within July 2009. The July Thirteen, 2009 cable talking about mass incidents within China says:

"Ethnic riots such as those in Xinjiang This summer 5-7 and in Tibet in 03 associated with 08 differ markedly within source and character from mass incidents, XXXXXXXXXXXX emphasized in order to PolOff [Political Officer] upon XXXXXXXXXXXX. Both existing severe trouble for the actual Party, XXXXXXXXXXXX stated, however the Party leadership wouldn't wait to open fireplace on Uighurs or even Tibetans when they considered it necessary to recover order. Mass incidents present another type of risk, he explained, as the leadership is ‘afraid' to fire upon Han rioters for anxiety about sparking massive open public outrage that will turn from the Party."

This is a chilling opinion, especially when 1 views the evidence presented in two reviews launched this year by the Uyghur Human Privileges Project (UHRP) as well as Amnesty Worldwide that fine detail eyewitness accounts of the utilization of lethal live fire against Uyghur protestors in This summer 2009. In addition, the observation which fireplace wouldn't be deployed towards Han Chinese language protestors offers resonances for that various strategy used by Chinese security causes in Urumchi to Han Chinese direct orders in Sept 2009. During individuals protests, after that Party Assistant, Wang Lequan, addressed protesters, that experienced required he inform them about government reactions in order to security issues. An identical ask for to satisfy with the Celebration Secretary by Uyghur protesters in This summer wasn't met.

The broader repercussions from the unrest also saw a short discussion about the effect it would possess on Iran-China relationships, as well as on relations with Sydney following Globe Uyghur Our elected representatives President, Ms. Rebiya Kadeer, talked in the Nationwide Press Membership in Canberra in July 2009. Within the latter situation, china federal government "privately warn[ed] a major Aussie financial institution that sponsors the nation's Push Membership to use it's impact to block a Kadeer speech there".

This approach is viewed as counter-productive through the official, that suggests that the U.Utes. federal government "should still express...serious concerns over Beijing's individual rights report and attract China's growing consciousness which higher regard for human rights, religious freedom and the rule associated with law will serve to promote the very improvement and sociable balance which The far east looks for in addition to to enhance China's international picture."

Little about the Uyghurs

In the center of the desert landscapes of Taklamakan, in the northern-western part of China, the land of Xinjiang is the least populated land whereas it covers close to a sixth from the nation's area. Having resisted during generations the chinese control, Xinjiang, or Old Turkistan, fell within the Chinese Han control in 1949. From then, its population is mostly Uyghurs and Turkish - speaking System.


Uyghur kids, Hotan, Xinjiang, China by centralasiatraveler


Muslim especially, the Uyghurs have a solid religious identity that, in particular, permitted them to preserve a solid difference towards the Chinese invader. Certainly, the Uyghur Kingdom of Mongolia knew a brilliant civilization, until its absorption by the Mongolian Empire in the XIIIth century.


Uyghur Man - Kashgar, China by 62Lofu


During their own background, the Uyghurs successively taken on Shamanism, Manicheism, Buddhism and the Nestorianism before lastly converting to Islam when the Arab conquerors beat the Chinese in year 751 BC., therefore beginning the way to the Islamization of the entire Central Asia.


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

The arrival of Islam was a great change simply because it was supported by the assimilation of the Uyghur areas in the immense Turkic and Islamic Empire. Thus, the descendants of Genghis Khan slowly replaced their writing by a Arabo-Persan alphabet, still used today.


If their writing, their own language and their religion mark a real difference with the culture of Chinese Han, the Uyghurs also are different from their characteristic, so aspect of Central Asia's people. A matt skin, eyes representing a whole pallet of colors, from black to deep blue, features directing out to the Mongolian, Turkish or Uzbek roots of these men and these women.


Prayer by Pawel Maciejewski


For a few years, China has integrated the proper identity of these remote people, although they represent only 9 million inhabitants - a trifle for this large land. Therefore, Uyghur people 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 statute allows them a few privileges in a land exactly where their difference is very often repressed. Therefore, Uyghur people escape the "single child policy" and their language is recognized as the second official language in Xinjiang.


The integration of the Uyghurs and their culture in the People's Republic of China, however, seems quite illusory. The presence of natural sources in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and its proximity with countries acknowledged as very sensitive, highly urged the government to speed up the sinicization of this area. Million of Han thus came to settle in this new Chinese eldorado, monopolizing the higher responsibility jobs.


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

Asserting more flexibility, but especially the acceptance of their true identity, this movement was severely repressed by the power authorities in location Xinjiang.

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

Make Making Money


And a few months later he began Hugo Cabret, which seems to have been a very trying, technical shoot because of the 3D aspect. And while other films seemed like possible follow-ups (The Irishman, for one) the most obvious way to read the news about The Wolf of Wall Street is that it makes a good choice now because it will allow him to indulge that rediscovered fondness for working quickly.


And The Wolf of Wall Street script is by Boardwalk Empire producer Terence Winter, so this would continue their partnership. Vulture says the film has left Warner Bros., where it was set up last year with Ridley Scott as a possible director. (Martin Scorsese had been attached before that, prior to Shutter Island, so this isn’t the first time the project has changed hands.) Leonardo DiCaprio’s manager has reportedly secured financing for the film outside the studio, and it looks as if the film could shoot this summer — “as early as June” — which would be an incredible turnaround.


I find this news tremendously exciting. I’ve enjoyed the Scorsese/DiCaprio partnership and think it reached a new level with Shutter Island. More important, I absolutely love the idea of the director working fast once again, especially if he’s that energized by doing so.


Here’s the book synopsis:


Belfort, who founded one of the first and largest chop shop brokerage firms in 1987, was banned from the securities business for life by 1994, and later went to jail for fraud and money-laundering, delivers a memoir that reads like fiction. It covers his decade of success with straightforward accounts of how he worked with managers of obscure companies to acquire large amounts of stock with minimal public disclosure, then pumped up the price and sold it, so he and the insiders made large profits while public investors usually lost. Profits were laundered through purchase of legitimate businesses and cash deposits in Swiss banks. There is only brief mention of Belfort’s life before Wall Street or events since 1997. The book’s main topic is the vast amount of sex, drugs and risky physical behavior Belfort managed to survive. As might be expected in the autobiography of a veteran con man with movie rights already sold, it’s hard to know how much to believe.







Of all the interesting new tech that seems poised to garner a lot of buzz in 2011, near field communication (NFC), is probably the most exciting. If it takes off, it will transform the ways we communicate, share, and make payments with digital devices. This will likely take years to happen, but the groundwork is being laid right now. And RFinity is one of those companies at the forefront.


While Google and Apple are responsible for generating much of the buzz about NFC at the moment, the technology goes far beyond simply having the right type of chip in your mobile device. For example, how do you handle different types of data transfers being made from one device to another? And how to you ensure that they happen as quickly as possible? And most importantly, how do you ensure that they happen securely? Those are the things that RFinity is thinking about.


The company has just raised $4 million from Horizons Ventures in Hong Kong. And the space has gotten so red hot, in fact, that we hear they’re already out raising another round.


And it’s an easy bet for investors to make not only because of the space, but because of where the project originated: The U.S. Department of Energy. Specifically, RFinity was born when a bunch of infrastructure security experts working for the government were assigned to find all the vulnerabilities in cell phones. Through software they came up with, they were able to quite easily eavesdrop, manipulate SMS messages, and even compromise LAN security. Then they set out to figure out a way to stop people from doing those very things. That work led directly to RFinity.


Work originally began in the person-to-person and person-to-vendor sales space by way of mobile applications that route transactions through RFinity’s own secure servers. But now that NFC appears ready, RFinity is making sure they’re ready for it. The idea is that their technology could cut out the middle man here: themselves.


Obviously, the company isn’t going to share all the details on how they secure NFC transfers. But the basic overview is that they verify an incoming NFC signal and ask for a user’s permission before taking any action. Further, if the action is a transaction, it requires a PIN, just as you might do an ATM withdrawal. That’s all pretty standard. But the key is one-time-use transaction codes that RFinity creates on the fly along with complex cryptographic signatures. These ensure that an transaction is secure since it means that every transaction can only happen once. Even if those numbers were intercepted by a hacker, they would be useless beyond the one-time payment.


And even if your phone is lost or stolen, a thief couldn’t do anything without your PIN. And you can remotely shut down your NFC capabilities via RFinity. It’s enough to make me wish I could throw out all my credit cards right now. “Today’s identification and transaction systems are based on what? A magnetic strip on the back of a card, based on a 1950’s technology that relies on a base station to read the information embedded as a series of simple magnetic markers in plastic tape,” writes Josh Jones-Dilworth, who is working with the company to bring them to market.


Again, NFC as a technology is great and potentially game-changing. But the software is still needed to make it actually work. And some of the big guys began realizing that early on as companies like PayPal, Bank of America, and even Subway have been testing out different things with RFinity for some time. In fact, RFinity has actually been doing field tests of the software end of their technology since 2009 in places like Idaho, well before most people in the U.S. had ever thought about NFC.


But now people are starting to care. And soon, they could be caring a lot more. NFC is already built-in to Google’s new Nexus S device — and the company has put out a call for developers to start using the tech. Rumors have the next iteration of the iPhone gaining the technology as well. In other words, I suspect we may be seeing acquisition rumors starting to fly around RFinity in about six months or so. Provided their technology proves up to the NFC challenge, of course.
