Editor’s Note: Jim Dalrymple has been writing about Apple for more than 15 years. You can follow him on Twitter @jdalrymple and on his Web site at The Loop.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs on Wednesday introduced the iPad 2 at a special event in San Francisco, taking even more momentum away from its competitors.

I’ve had a lot of people in the last 24 hours tell me that the iPad 2 isn’t as revolutionary as the first generation device. Yes, that’s true. But not every device a company releases has to be or can be revolutionary.

Apple has released three revolutionary products in the last decade alone: iPod, iPhone and iPad. I really can’t think of any products from Apple’s competitors that fit in the revolutionary category in that same time period.

People also said that Apple wasn’t very forthcoming with the specs of the iPad 2. Again, that’s true, but there’s a good reason for that—nobody cares.

Well, some people care. Those of us who are geeks care about specs. However, have you ever noticed that when you sit with your non-geek friends and start listing off specs their eyes glaze over and they rest their chin in their hand.

That’s because they couldn’t care less.

The iPad 2 is no slouch either. It lost one-third of the thickness of the previous generation, and therefore it is one-third less than the size of the iPad competitors too. It also has new technologies like a gyro built-in that will launch another round of cool apps.

Yesterday’s iPad 2 announcement wasn’t about the geeks—it was about all the other people who will buy an iPad. What those people want to know is “what can I do with it?”

If it fits into their lifestyle, most people are good with that. Apple showed many ways how the iPad 2 can fit into your lifestyle.

From the very beginning, Apple was very smart with how it marketed the iPad. The first thing it did was get the device into businesses and promote the fact that it could be used to get work done. And it was quite successful with that.

In an analyst call in October 2010, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer said the iPad was already being used in 65 percent of Fortune 100 companies. That was four months ago and the iPad has grown since then, so we can only imagine where that number is now.

This strategy allowed Apple to do two things. If it came out with the iPad and pushed the gaming capabilities of the device, the business world would have looked at it as a toy. That would have certainly meant slower adoption. It also allowed them to work on some consumer software, two of which we saw yesterday.

In addition to the iPad 2, Jobs also unveiled iMovie and GarageBand for the iPad. This is what people want to know about—what can I do with the iPad that’s exciting and new.

Obviously, creating movies and being able to edit and share them with friends and family is a very popular thing to do these days. iMovie makes that easy.

Creating music, whether a novice or pro is also a cool thing to do. GarageBand is a great app to get that done and you can move your projects to your Mac and continue working on them.

It’s not just about the hardware. Apple delivers the whole experience that nobody else can. Jobs said yesterday that there are 65,000 apps on its App Store specifically designed for the iPad. That’s a lot of things you can do.

If you think Apple’s competitors are jumping for joy because the iPad 2 isn’t revolutionary, I believe you are wrong. I think they’re scared. Yesterday, they figured out Apple’s strategy too, but a little too late.

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.

Preview of Final Result

 

Resources

• PT Sans Bold – FontSquirrel


• Free App Icons for Developers – WebAppers

Step 1

Open Photoshop and create a new document that is 1200 x 1200 pixels, 72 dpi, and RGB Color. Fill the layer with white. (Ctrl+Backspace or Delete)

Step 2

Now create a rectangle for the header and fill it with a white-grey color, then use the colors on the image for the “Gradient Overlay”. Our search and logo will eventually be part of the header.

Step 3

Create a new rectangle above the previous one, with attributes as shown below. The following drop shadow effect creates a look of a 1 pixel stroke which does increase the look of that simple bar. Note: this step creates a horizontal line.

 

Step 4

Now add the “Gradient Overlay” layer style with the hex codes indicated.

Step 5

Add a white 1 pixel stroke. The following stroke of 1 pixel will divide the grey shadow effect. It’ll eventually work as a divider.

Step 6

Make one more rectangle in the middle-right zone, and fill it with white and add a 1 px stroke as indicated – it will be our search box.

Step 7

One more rectangle should be created and filled with blue. Set the inner shadow as indicated below, this will be our search button. This blue works great in combination with grey, white and light-grey. Blue will be the major contrasting color we use as we work through this template.

Step 8

Add the Gradient Overlay details to the button with the details from image.

Step 9

Add a 1 px stroke to the button with the color indicated. Take a look at the first and the final result of the button so you can see the difference all these details made.

Step 10

Now add this drop shadow effect for the text placed in the search box, using PT Sans Bold. This will be the final step in creating your search button. You may want to try other fonts, but the PT Sans Bold is really good for this small button.

Step 11

Make another fill under the header section, this will be the navigation area. Here we will place the navigation links of our template.

Step 12

Write your navigation links using a dark-grey color, then add a white “drop shadow” effect. The effect used for the navigation links is the same used for the search button.

Step 13

With 1px vertical line, make divisions between each links. The lines should be black and will really increase the beauty of the navigation area.

Step 14

Over the home section, make a fill with the blue and then add a Gradient Overlay style as indicated.

Step 15

Copy the Home link, this time color it white and add a drop shadow effect.

Step 16

Create a big, grey zone under the navigation, it should be about 30% of the layout. This will be the background for the featured area.

Step 17

Now create a big, white rectangle and add some shadow with the details shown. A big stock image, a big headline and some text with another great button will be added.

Step 18

Add a any dummy image you want to that featured area. Be sure it covers more than 80% of the area. The one I chose is from a stock website.

Step 19

Add some text to it, use the PT SANS Bold font and make the font big.

Step 20

The remaining area should be filled with grey, in it we’ll place some text. This is really a secondary area which describes the image, the services, the company itself, or whatever you’d like.

Step 21

Place some blue-colored text which will be the title of the information below. Use the details in the image for Drop Shadow style.

Step 22

Add some dummy text. This could be some important information or whatever you’d like.

Step 23

Create another grey area under the featured zone, where we will add some text and icons later. Add the details as stated on the image. Mostly, the icons will promote the services offered by the company behind the website.

Step 24

Continue by adding a Gradient Overlay style for the last rectangle we have created in the anterior steps.

Step 25

Now we are adding titles and icons, as well as some divisions. The icons can be found in the resource list at the beginning of the tutorial. Be sure to choose your icons and text thoughtfully.

Step 26

At the border of both zones, create a small circle and fill it with dark brown color. Add some inner shadow as stated on the image.

Step 27

Continue by adding a drop shadow layer style. It is another small detail, but it really makes that button zone minimalistic, nice-looking and well designed.

Step 28

To finish, add a Gradient Overlay effect.

Step 29

By using the Custom Shape Tool (U), create an arrow in both circles. Now add the details shown on the screenshot.

Step 30

Continue by adding some Color Overlay for the arrow. It should also be a blue color because otherwise, it will not fit the contrast and the colors used on the whole template.

Step 31

Add a video screenshot in the free space and place a title for it. For this template, I have used a simple screenshot of a YouTube widget.

Step 32

Add the text “Product Highlights” and “Case Studies.” Let the text under the “Product Highlights” be links so you could showcase some friends’ websites or resources you admire/promote.

Step 33

Finish it by creating another form for e-mails, place all kind of other information, and whatever you’d like.

Step 34

Don’t forget to make a relevant/small footer for our template. If you have paid attention, you should know how to create the same effect as below. 

 

All done! If you have questions or suggestions, feel free to drop a comment. I hope you enjoyed this whole tutorial!

Women Making Money

The second wave of e-commerce is coming, buoyed by a flood of fresh cash. European flash-sales site operator Privalia, which offers short-term, steeply discounted fashion deals in Spain, Italy, Brazil, and Mexico, is expanding to Germany with a $280 million acquisition of rival Dress-For-Less.

The deal is funded in part by $123 million in fresh cash from General Atlantic, Highland Capital Partners, Index Ventures, and Insight Venture Partners, as well as debt and newly issued shares.

Those are big numbers, and they come on top of a $95 million round just last October from General Atlantic and Index.

Privalia is a private-sales site that offers members deep discounts on apparel and other items for a short period of time. Others in the flash-sales category include Rue La La, now owned by GSI Commerce; Gilt Groupe, which offers deals in apparel and travel; and One Kings Lane, a home-décor site. The limited time horizon for offers, combined with a curated array of merchandise and new social tools, serves to drive demand from consumers looking to buy something new.

That customer base — those who view shopping as entertainment and largely made up of women — is potentially much larger than the hardcore online shoppers who became loyal online shoppers a decade ago.

The first wave of e-commerce, transactional and efficient, did catalogs one better by offering a nearly limitless array of merchandise and selling it cheaply and quickly. It satisfied demand, rather than creating it.

Private-sales sites, daily deals purveyors like Groupon, and other new forms of e-commerce promise to do something much bigger and more difficult: create demand. Successful traditional retailers excel at this, turning their stores into showcases of consumer delight and convincing people to reach for their pocketbooks for something they had no intention of buying when they walked into the store.

Privalia seems to have an edge in fast-growing overseas markets. Gilt currently operates in the U.S. and Japan. GSI, which is publicly traded, spent $350 million acquiring Rue La La and could expand quickly. A lot of capital is flowing into the sector. But unlike earlier waves of e-commerce, which required building and stocking warehouses to guarantee the availability of those vast virtual shelves of merchandise, the new e-commerce tends to move products quickly, making it an appealing investment to venture capitalists who might shy away from plowing their capital into inventory.

Instead, the money in this second wave of e-commerce is going into customer acquisition, technology, and some financial maneuvers — like Privalia’s rollup of Dress-for-Less.

What to anticipate Whenever Getting a Roofer

When it comes time to correct or even substitute your homes roof, it's really a daunting task to find someone who is actually competent for the job. There are lots of roofing companies available, however the ones who will do a great job for a reasonable cost are not frequently easy to find. If you're in the market for a contractor, make use of the ideas below for interviewing as well as hiring the right one.

Interview and Consultation

Most roofing contractors provide free consultation services. This is especially important, because it gives them an opportunity to assess what your roof requirements, and it gives you a chance to assess all of them. As with all of companies, believe in instincts concerning the individuals you allow upward on your roofing. No matter exactly how great the contractor's status or even recommendation, he or she should start by presenting you having a business card. If the contractor arrives searching and speaking within an less than professional method, most likely the job he's going to do will also be less than professional. This isn't to express that you should expect contractors to reach in fits. They will be hiking on your roof, so the majority of is going to be dressed up in jeans and function footwear or sneakers. If the contractor seems to be more interested in talking on his mobile phone during your homes roof than he's within evaluating your roof's needs, that may be another indication that he is not the one to do the job. For the legal safety, make sure that the contractor has adequate legal responsibility insurance.

Roof Assessment

Anticipate the contractor will be going up in your roof. In fact, any kind of contractor who not need to go up on your roofing to judge the problem ought to be immediately discounted. Those who are seriously interested in their work will possibly make a drawing of the roof's surface area as well as tag trouble spots on it because they undergo their own evaluation, or they will take photos or video of the surface while they're available online for. This is an extremely important action, because it enables you to observe exactly what the troubles are and understand how they will be fixed.

Estimation

The next step will be the written estimate. The service provider will require out his loan calculator and come track of a written estimation. Some contractors will go to their own vehicle or even van and write down the actual proposal, while others will crunch the numbers for the job prior to you. Once you're because of the proposal, make sure that you understand exactly which items is going to be used, how long the job will require and if you will find any extra or even concealed costs that may occur throughout the restore of the roofing. The service provider will be able to answer all of these questions effortlessly and forewarn a person associated with a extra expenses that could be sustained if the roof's integrity end up being broken inside.

After you have obtained a few created estimates from roofers, assess what every organization or even service provider is willing to provide for that price. Do not necessarily discount the greatest bid, simply because occasionally the greatest bet will actually be the contractor who does the task correctly. Also, be skeptical associated with bids that are significantly less than others. They may be using inferior items or be untruthful about the possibility of hidden expenses. Above all, trust your instincts and go with the contractor that enables you to feel quite comfy regarding giving over your hard earned money.

 

Seven Uyghurs Sentenced to Death

2011-03-23

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

 

AFP

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

'Strike hard' campaign

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Earlier cases

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

New training scheme

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

An Urumqi resident surnamed Li agreed.

 

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

 

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

Ambassador in order to China to voice Beijing's strong opposition of release in order to any nation apart from The far east, and that when the Ough.Utes. do certainly accede to this request it would "avoid injury to bilateral relations and also to cooperation ‘in important areas'". Furthermore, a Feb 2009 cable television describes how the Chinese Ambassador in order to Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Yannian, regarded the actual possible discharge of Uyghur Guantánamo detainees because "an unfavorable behave towards us" and a "slap within the face". The Ough.Utes. government was firm within not liberating the actual detainees to The far east illustrates the degree of the politicized character from the Chinese language judicial program. Legitimate issues over terrorism tend to be easy to understand, but in the actual Ough.S. government's view the detainees would probably encounter torture as well as execution when they returned to The far east

Chinese federal government pressure in regard to the Uyghur Guantánamo detainees wasn't only put on the actual Ough.S. government, but additionally in order to Brand new Zealand along with a handful of Western government authorities which were considering resettlement. Albania, Germany and Finland, in addition to Eu fellow member says just about all have the symptoms of borne the impact of Chinese government disappointment. Regarding Indonesia, which was initially willing to think about two Uyghurs on solely humanitarian grounds, Uyghur Guantánamo cases had been much less better than other detainees due to the negative effects accepting Uyghurs might have upon relations along with The far east. A Might 8, '09 cable television relates how "German Ambassador Erina Schaefer reported that Germany experienced knowledgeable The far east from the Ough.S. request to simply accept a few Uighur detainees kept at Guantánamo and had been subsequently warned through China of ‘a large load upon bilateral relations' if Germany had been to accept any kind of detainees".

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

"Ethnic riots such as those in Xinjiang July 5-7 as well as in Tibet within March of 2008 differ markedly in origin and nature from bulk incidents, XXXXXXXXXXXX emphasized to PolOff [Political Officer] on XXXXXXXXXXXX. Both existing severe problems for the Party, XXXXXXXXXXXX stated, however the Celebration leadership would not hesitate to open fire upon Uighurs or even Tibetans when they considered it necessary to recover order. Bulk occurrences present another kind of threat, he explained, since the management is ‘afraid' to fire upon Han rioters for fear of causing huge public outrage that will change from the Celebration."

This is a relaxing opinion, especially when one considers evidence presented in two reviews launched this season by the Uyghur Individual Rights Task (UHRP) and Amnesty International that detail eyewitness accounts from the use of lethal reside fireplace against Uyghur protestors within This summer 2009. In addition, the declaration which fireplace wouldn't be deployed towards Han Chinese protestors offers resonances for that different approach used by Chinese language protection causes in Urumchi to Han Chinese language protests within September 2009. During individuals protests, after that Party Secretary, Wang Lequan, addressed demonstrators, who had required that he let them know regarding federal government responses to security concerns. An identical request to meet using the Party Assistant by Uyghur protesters in July wasn't fulfilled.

The actual broader repercussions from the unrest additionally noticed a brief dialogue about the effect it would have upon Iran-China relationships, as well as on relations with Australia following World Uyghur Our elected representatives President, Microsoft. Rebiya Kadeer, talked at the Nationwide Press Membership within Canberra in August '09. Within the second option situation, the Chinese federal government "privately warn[ed] a major Aussie bank that vendors the National Push Club to make use of it's influence to bar the Kadeer speech there".

The chance associated with methods to stress in Tibet as well as Xinjiang arising from civil culture are discussed inside a Feb Twenty-four, 08 cable. Whilst suggesting which China's financial achievement will increase its resistance to democratic change, the cable television also discusses exactly how Chinese frontrunners see the effectiveness of "a restricted expansion of municipal culture, including improvements in the rule associated with law and a stronger part with regard to approved beliefs, NGOs, non profit organizations along with other actors within places that contribute to sociable stability and do not problem Communist Celebration guideline." This is a significant change in considering, which has observed Ough.S. authorities market the notion that Chinese language financial development, as well as financial relationships along with China will bring about a progressively democratic society; however, more faith seems to be put into a grassroots motion compared to one that begins from the best levels of the Chinese federal government. Nevertheless, the actual cable television proves that "[i]n places such as Tibet and Xinjiang, the fear of separatism leads to tighter limitations about the growth of civil culture." This approach is viewed as counter-productive by the official, that suggests that the Ough.Utes. federal government "should continue to express...serious issues more than Beijing's human rights record and attract China's growing awareness which higher respect with regard to individual rights, spiritual freedom and the guideline associated with law assists to promote the very improvement as well as social stability that China looks for in addition to to enhance China's international image." Such a strategy would take considerable diplomatic skills considering "China's paranoid fear that the Usa privately promotes routine alter and ‘separatists' within Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang".

The wires offer insight into the actual every day company of diplomacy that is rarely afforded to the general public, which is interesting to note the amount of work done behind closed doors on Uyghur issues. The importance of the part of the us as a keep track of associated with Uyghur individual rights conditions within private conversations is made obvious, as well as contrasts using its tactful public position. The staff of the Uyghur Individual Privileges Project is actually comfortable with pressure china government exerts upon Uyghur activists; still, the details of Chinese government pressure on it's alternatives is actually illustrative from the diploma that Chinese officials attempt to suppress contrary narratives. With more facts in the future from Wikileaks, concerns over Uyghurs might not grab the head lines, however the wires have get rid of new light on the documentation of individual rights problems 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 land of Xinjiang is the very least populated land while it covers close to a sixth from the country's territory. Getting resisted while in hundreds of years the chinese domination, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, or Old East Turkistan, fell within the Chinese Han domination in 1949. From then, its population is mainly Uyghur People and Turkic - speaking System.

Islamic primarily, the Uyghurs have a very good religious identity that, in particular, enabled them to keep a solid big difference in opposition to the Chinese enemy. Without a doubt, the Uyghur Empire of Mongolia knew a brilliant civilization, until its absorption by the Mongolian Empire in the XIIIth century.

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

Under the effect of the religions which they taken on, the Uyghurs taken 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 entrance of Islam was a great modification since it was supported by the absorption of the Uyghur areas in the enormous Turco-Mongolian and Islamic Kingdom. Thus, the descendants of Genghis Khan progressively replaced their writing by a Arabo-Persan alphabet, still used currently.

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

For a few years, China has included the proper identity of these remote people, though they represent only 9 million people - a trifle for this particular large region. Therefore, Uyghur people are now part of the 56 ethnic minority groups having been well known in an official way by China.

This particular law will allow these people a few rights in a country exactly where their difference is very often repressed. Therefore, Uyghur people escape the "single child policy" and their language is known as the second official language in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The integration of the Uyghurs and their culture in China, however, looks quite illusory. The presence of natural sources in Xinjiang, and its area with locations known 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 more significant responsibility job opportunities.

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

Saying more flexibility, but specially 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 population continues today to proudly maintain their identification and their tradition , though they become a minority on their own land.

April 15 will be here before you know it. And while it might already be too late to limit what you'll owe Uncle Sam for your 2010 taxes, it might be just the perfect time to start thinking—and actively planning—for ways to save on the taxes you'll pay on your home-based business in 2011.

"True tax planning gives you concepts and strategies needed to minimize your taxes," says John Beidle, a small business tax expert and founder of 1040 Wealth Designs. "It's the key to your financial defense. As a business owner, you have two ways to put cash in your pocket: Financial offense is making more; financial defense is spending less. Taxes are probably your biggest single expense. So it makes sense to focus your financial defense where you spend the most."

One way to get your 2011 tax planning off to a good start is to hire a tax consultant, someone who can both map out the latest IRS changes and explain ways to help you prepare for them. In the meantime, however, here are some tax-saving tips that you can get started on right away.

Tax Tip 1: Get Organized

Good tax planning begins with getting organized—particularly when it comes to keeping good records about the things you spend money on for your business. "It's critical that entrepreneurs ensure that we take advantage of every tax situation," says Denise Winston, founder of Money Start Here, a financial education company. "That means treating receipts like cash, not trash," she says. "Think about it: each $100 business expense receipt could be worth up to $50 when it comes time to filing your taxes, depending on your tax bracket." To keep track of those expenses, Winston recommends carrying a receipt envelope with you in your purse, car, briefcase, backpack, or wherever works best for you. Then, as you make purchases for your business—whether it relates to buying paper for a copier, picking up a lunch tab for a customer, or buying plane fare to attend a trade show—you can simply place the receipt into the envelope. As the envelope fills up, you should then transfer the receipts to your accounting files or to the many software or online programs, such as Shoeboxed.com, that are now available to help you track your expenses. For a more high-tech solution, consider downloading Capturengo, an app for the iPhone that allows you to create IRS-approved digital receipts using your phone's camera.

Tax Tip 2: Calculate Your Start-up Expenses

If 2011 is the year that you've finally decided to become your own boss, then you might also have the opportunity to deduct the money you're spending to get things off the ground. According to Nolo, the online legal advice site:

Once you're running a business, expenses such as advertising, utilities, office supplies, and repairs can be deducted as current business expenses—but not before you open your doors for business. The costs of getting a business started are capital expenses, and, starting in 2010, you may deduct $10,000 (up from $5,000) the first year you're in business; any remainder must be deducted in equal amounts over the next 15 years.

The rub is that in order to take the deduction, your business actually needs to be losing money. If you are profitable from the get-go, you may be able to work around this rule by delaying paying some bills until after you're in business, or by doing a small amount of business just to establish an official start date.

Tax Tip 3: Maximize Your Home-Office Deductions

Home office expenses are probably the most misunderstood deduction in the entire tax code, says Beidle. "For years, taxpayers feared it raised an automatic audit flag," he says. "But Congress has relaxed the rules, so now home offices attract far less attention."

For a home office to qualify for deductions, though, it must meet the following criteria:

1. You must use the office exclusively and regularly for administrative or management activities of your trade or business.


2. You have no other fixed location where you conduct substantial administrative or management activities of your trade or business.

Claiming a home office lets you deduct the "business use percentage" of expenses such as mortgage interest or rent, property taxes, utilities, repairs, insurance, garbage pickup, and security. Plus, you'll get to depreciate part of your purchase price, says Beidle.

Tax Tip 4: Deduct Your Health Insurance Costs

Self-employed entrepreneurs can now deduct the cost of their health insurance both for themselves and for their families, says Ryan Himmel, a CPA and the founder of BidaWiz, an online marketplace for professional tax and financial advice.  The catch, however, is that the tax benefit doesn't apply to those with a secondary business and a full-time job in which their employer provides for a subsidized health plan. Those with spouses that have an employer-subsidized health plan are also disqualified from the tax deduction, says Himmel.

Tax Tip 5: Track Your Mileage

Car and truck expenses are easy to overlook, says Beidel. "That's because you can take a standard mileage allowance," he says. "But that allowance is the same for all vehicles, no matter how big they are, how much they cost, or how much gas they guzzle." In other words, even if you take the standard deduction, you might be short-changing yourself. That's why it's worth keeping track of your actual expenses as a way to compare with the standard deduction.

According to Nolo, here's the difference for 2011:

• Actual expense method: You keep track of and deduct all of your actual business-related expenses.


• Standard mileage rate method: You deduct a certain amount (the standard mileage rate) for each mile driven, plus all business-related tolls and parking fees. In 2011, the standard mileage rate is $0.51 per business mile driven, an increase from the $0.50 per-mile rate in effect for 2010.

The newer your car, the more you might benefit from using the actual expense method, especially because you also deduct depreciation on it. But, as with the deduction you can take for home-based expenses, you can only deduct the portion of your vehicle(s) that you use for your business, which means you need to also keep track of how much you use it for business as compared to personal errands.

Tax Tip 6: Pay Yourself

Home-based entrepreneurs sometimes forget to pay themselves by setting up an IRA or other retirement vehicle, says Gloria D. Birnkrant, a CPA and partner with NSBN, a tax and business-planning firm in Beverly Hills, California, which allows you to put pre-tax money toward your retirement. "Even if the monthly amounts start out small, you will be surprised how soon you have built a nice account, with the advantage of a tax deduction," she says.

Tax Tip 7: Hire Your Family

Another tax-saving idea is to hire your child or a child who lives in your neighborhood for your business, says Kristin Oberlander, a spokesperson for the National Association for the Self-Employed, since you can deduct their wages as a business expense. "Write up a job description, cut them a company check every pay period, fill out a W-2," she says. "Any child can earn up to $5,700 tax free. Plus, your child learns about responsibility and earning a paycheck."

Whether you decide to follow just one of these tips or all of them, be sure to start planning for next year now. Tax planning is the most critical step in the process and will make filing your taxes much more streamlined. According to Beidle, "Tax planning guarantees results."
