Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) says children without legal representation are five times more likely to be deported.
"There should be a public defender system for children," said Kristie-Ann Padrón, an attorney with Catholic Charities, a nonprofit that took Arlin and her brother's case for free. "They are not legally competent to sign a contract. How could they be expected to represent themselves in court?"
Padrón says, if deported, some of the children have nothing to go back to.
"Some were suffering from gang violence'" she said.
With the help of Catholic Charities, Arlin and her brother won their asylum case.
Three years have passed, he's an honors student in high school. Arlin has learned English and works as a supervisor at a movie theatre while she gets her degree.
"I'm doing mechanical engineering and I want to work with the NASA," Arlin said.
The NBC6 Investigators spent time in immigration court. We spoke with several kids who were facing a Miami judge alone without representation. They told us in Spanish that they fear being deported back.
Most immigration judges we saw in Miami tried to get unaccompanied minors help with non-profit attorneys but those organizations say there just isn't enough free legal aid to meet the demand.
They say they are always looking for attorneys willing to donate their services.

Obama Regains Small Lead Over Romney In Florida
A Quinnipiac University poll shows Obama holds a small lead over Romney in Florida
Supported by the coalition of voters that catapulted him to the presidency four years ago, Barack Obama has regained a small lead over challenger Mitt Romney among Florida voters, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows.
Obama was favored by 46 percent compared to 42 percent who preferred Romney in Quinnipiac's random telephone survey of 1,697 registered voters in the nation's largest swing state. The poll taken June 12-18 has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.
Romney led in a similar Quinnipiac survey last month when he was preferred by 47 percent to Obama's 41 percent. The president benefited most from a big swing among independent voters who preferred Obama by a 46-37 margin. A month ago, independents chose Romney by a 44-36 margin.
"It's worth noting that the last Quinnipiac University Florida poll was on the heels of the president's backing of gay marriage, which might have hurt him," pollster Peter Brown said Thursday. "This movement reflects that uncertainty among voters who are up for grabs."

Complete Politics Coverage
Obama was backed by young voters, minorities and women while Romney was favored by white and older voters.
"Romney is not well-defined in the minds of many voters, especially those in the middle," Brown said.
The poll also shows U.S. Rep. Connie Mack IV far ahead of the field with 698 GOP voters in his bid for the Republican nomination and a shot at unseating two-term U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson. The Republican sampling had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.
Mack, the son of former U.S. Sen. Connie Mack and great-grandson of the legendary baseball owner and manager with the same name, received 41 percent while no other Republican candidate was in double figures.
George LeMieux, who was appointed by former Gov. Charlie Crist to serve the last 16 months of former U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez's term in the nation's capital, hoped to win the seat on his own, but dropped out Wednesday after failing to gain traction with Republican voters.
The poll was taken before LeMieux's announcement that he was getting out of the race and showed the one-time adviser to Crist with the support of only 8 percent of Republicans, although nearly two of every five remained undecided. Former U.S. Rep. Dave Weldon (3 percent) and Tea Party favorite Mike McCallister (5 percent) of Plant City remain challengers to Mack.
"The Republican Senate nomination is Congressman Connie Mack's to lose," Brown said. "It would take a major change in public opinion for one of the other candidates to stop Connie Mack."
The poll showed Nelson with a 43-39 edge on Mack if the election were held now with 18 percent undecided.
Mack is trying to regain the seat won his father 24 years ago when the elder Mack defeated Democratic nominee Buddy MacKay in the closest U.S. Senate race in Florida history.
Nelson was elected in 2000 when he defeated Republican Bill McCollum. He was easily re-elected in 2006 when he faced former U.S. rep. and Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris.

Q: Lost files on upgrade to 14.04 I used a usb stick to upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04. Now I can't find my files - downloads, pictures etc. empty. Tried to backup but ran out of drive memory, so guess they must be still on the drive. I may have put the wrong user name into the upgrade box. How can I restore my files?

A: If you did use the wrong username which seems the case considering your comments proceed as follows:
Step 1
Open a terminal by holding CTRL and ALT and tapping T in the terminal enter the command gksu nautilus

Step 2 Click File System on the left side of the window

and then click to open Home

If what you surmise is true you should find your files within the folder that has the same name as your old username

Those are all things I am so incredibly thankful for and would not trade for the world. The theme of gratitude also showed up last Sunday when I was going to church with my host family and that was the sermon that day. The pastor preached about how the lord commands us to give with a grateful heart. And not to give begrudgingly or unsurely. God doesn't want us to give something because we feel like we have to, he wants us to do it with a cheerful heart. He doesn't want us to give everything we have and leave ourselves with nothing, but this one thing is true: the more you sow the more you reap. Therefore if you bless others with what the lord has blessed you with, then you will be blessed more. We should be good stewards of our money and the things we have been given so that we can help meet the needs of others when there is a need to be met. I am not sure why this theme of gratitude has been showing up in my life but I'm sure there is a reason for it. I just know I should always remind myself what I am grateful for and that I should share my blessings with others so that they can be grateful too. Once again thanks so much to anyone who has been keeping up with me! I appreciate it a lot. Stay tuned for more!

If we are serious about providing a quality education to every student, we first have to define what that quality education consists of. We have to define the mission and vision of public education. Just saying we want students to know technology or become authentic persons or score a certain of proficiency on a standardized test isn't gonna cut it. It is too broad and doesn't layout a plan for the purpose of K-12 education.
We also need pragmatic leaders, workers, more doers. There are far too many crunchy granola folks or business model, politically motivated outsiders in the game. In fact, if you haven't worked with young people, either in an after-school program, a nonprofit organization, the criminal justice system, or in K-12 education, you need to sit down and shut up. You are causing more rancor than solutions. And if you are an organization who believes that quality teachers is at the heart of miraculously improving public education, like Teach for America, then you need to be in another line or work, because of NO teacher can overcome poverty, abuse, apathy, and indifference without the resources and support from the government, the state, the district, the school, and the community. This ain't an either or thing. This is an all-hands on deck thing.
Further, we need more males and teachers of color in the classroom. Honestly, in urban areas, there are too many non-people of color in the classroom. I know that is not politically correct to say, but those students need to see faces they recognize and faces that can give them the truth in a way that is both palatable and meaningful. Not only have I seen it, I have lived it. Teachers of color are able to be mentors in ways non-teachers of color can't. For, when students see them, they see someone whose had their experiences and know the world they live in. And that makes a difference when trying to get a kid in the projects to believe in the possibilities.
I will close this rant by saying enough is enough. Let's stop fighting and talking over each other and get to the business of transforming public education. If we can't agree on how, can we at least agree to stop digging the hole any deeper? There are generations of individuals and families at stake.
I think you make some critical points here. We DO need more teachers of color, teachers kids can relate to and see as models and those they can look up to in the classroom. We also need to understand that even if we are not a member of a certain ethnicity and culture, we can listen to and learn from each student as an individual! We need more passionate teachers willing to stop and listen to kids and not make assumptions about them.
I agree that we need to stop arguing as well. Reform, transform..whatever you call it, we need change and we need it now! We need less big business and more heart-driven passionate educators to lead the way.
So much more I can say, Will, so perhaps I will also write a post about this. Thanks for always making me think and learn with you!
The business of transforming education is in the doing not the saying. "All hands on deck" requires a new mindset not just a new skill set. "Doing" more of the same, creating more checklists, mandating more skills will not cut it.
I would only add this. Truth comes from knowing, doing, AND being. Standing in front of students, colleagues, the community and demonstrating the kinds of teaching and learning that emulates what is possible.
"BE-ing" the change is not just a quote that sounds nice, it is something we need to commit to as individuals and advocates for the system.
If we are asking students TO BE- creative, TO BE critical thinkers, TO BE open-minded, TO-BE contributors in a global community, TO-BE empathetic, open-minded, and innovative...don't we owe it to them TO BE the model?
Love this article - too much talk and not enough thinking BEFORE action - you have not worked with kids, then sit down and be quiet (awesome!) I really appreciate your fresh and no-kidding attitude toward education. I wish more people approached this serious and extremely important issue with more resolve and dedication.
A very honest post, Will. There is definitely a need for change. No, I don't think that a total rebuild is necessary either. No, I don't think that changing "grades" or doing away with standardized testing are the only answers. Transformation will come in all different sorts of ways. The arguing has to stop, but he debate has to continue. The difference is that arguing is done to prove one party wrong (often times) and a healthy debate allows both side to consider as many points of view while coming to a, hopefully, common ideal, or in this case, a common remedy for what is ailing public education. I agree that we need to have a more diverse pool of motivated and effective educators in our schools. Having someone to relate to is vital.
On that same note, I work in an extremely poor school, 93% free and reduced lunched, and I feel as a "white" teacher I have been able to relate very well with many of my students. We have a high, nearly 60%, Hispanic population. Now I don't live their lives, but I did get to spent 2 years of my life living in south central Mexico serving the people. No, I never lived THEIR life, but I did live it with them. My experiences have provided me with the empathy to understand their situations and help them achieve excellence despite any issues outside of the classroom that could possibly hold them back.
So yes, we do need more motivated and qualified teachers of color in the classroom, but we also can't discredit the efforts of those already fighting the daily battles in our inner city and urban schools.
Thanks for your post. Your passion is contagious. we need change now. It will take some time, but it needs to start within each of us and our classrooms if the change is to last.
Joan, I have never discounted the support and investment from White teachers. In caring about people, especially children, race shouldn't be an issue at all. However, the students from urban communities already face a dearth of mentors and possibilities. And having teachers of color can be a great motivator.
Being is the key. Education has to have some meaningful, personal connection to one's soul. It has to speak to the individuals core sense of who they are. That is when the individual is able to begin to fulfill their greatness.
I feel what you are saying, and I meant no disrespect to what you do and your relationship with your students. The point was that too many young people don't see teachers who look like them, and that isn't good for the students, the community, or the profession.
After reading your post and thinking about our conversation on Twitter, I counted the number of teachers of color I had throughout my K-12 education. When I was done counting, my final number was 11. My wife never had a teacher of color until she got into college. The same can never be said about White students. They never grow up sparsely seeing teachers who look like them.
The issue isn't as much about race as it is about mentoring and identifying with the teacher. I want to stress that my most influential teachers have been White. So, my point wasn't about denying the contributions or effectiveness of non-teachers of color with students of color.
It's amazing to me how easily the mention of race turns the conversation into one about race. I am guilty of wanting to talk about the fact that the color of one's skin does not automatically make them a good role model, but I will focus on the fact that YES, I am tired of 'bipartisanship' in education.
I think one of the problems that we run into is that many politicians would say that they volunteer in their child's school or chaperone school trips, so they ARE engaged in what goes on in schools. In addition, many programs like TFA and City Year graduate future politicians and policy makers who want 'the experience' to better guide their practice in the future.
That's not a bad thing, but it is important that all parties come together and really listen. As you state 'all hands on deck.' Thanks for your passion. I hope it's contagious!
I am with you on the fact that race or gender doesn't automatically make someone a good mentor. I know there are some terrible teachers of color out there. But those students have to start seeing successful people who like them who don't act, sing, rap, or play a sport.
As for the politicians, most of them have no clue about what makes a learning program valuable. They're too caught up in their parties platform to understand the work that must be done. And if I hear one more Republican talk about vouchers, I am going cuss (not curse) out loud. In the grand scheme of things, a voucher ain't nothing but a coupon. They don't cover full tuition - just what the government ordinarily would've have paid for the child. So, who picks up the difference?
Will, one of the best posts I have ever read.
I am tired of hearing theories from people who are not even educators, going on and on about education. Well, set foot in a classroom, live with the kids every day, see what other needs they have in their lives, and then come and talk to us.
I have heard lots of talk about removing grades. Even removing rewards. Removing motivation in other words. A reward is not only a golden star, or a sticker, or a chocolate bar; it can be a "Well done!", "I am so proud of you, keep going!"If we take that away from kids too, then where is their motivation? Where is that extra little psyching up to do better? Sometimes it has nothing to do wth actual schoolwork. Sometimes you might have a child from a troubled family. One that does not have dinner on the table every night.One might be taking three buses to come to school from where he lives. But still tries. I'm gonna give that student extra praise and extra bravos and kudos for continuing to work hard despite what he or she is experiencing at home.
The question is not the grades as you say, not the testing, is what can really be done for the kids. Because it is for the kids.
Excellent post, Will, great thoughts from a great educator.We need people like you in education. I am forwarding this to every teacher I know.

AUSTIN, TX- Honest, well-spoken and human. These are attributes that musicians should aspire to achieve when they put pen to pad to write music. Melody Guy does all of that in spades.
Melody is a Nashville based artist who embodies all of those attributes into every song she writes, and clearly others have recognized her songwriting ability as artists like Jessie James, Amanda Williams and Sherrie Austin have either recorded or covered her songs on recordings and in concert. Though she hasn't released a full length album since her 2013 album "Diamond on the Street", she has 10 albums under her belt (two of which are available to listen on her website and another on Spotify. Of what I was able to listen to, I was particularly drawn to her songs that had a little swing in 'em like "Taking My Heart Back".
While she may not have been the most familiar name on the riverboat roster, she made sure that she left a lasting impression with her performance. She mixed her set up with both upbeat and downtempo numbers, and performed with gusto as the riverboat guests wandered to and from the bar to refill their cups. But all movement on the boat came to abrupt halt when she dove deep into an emotional ballad that she had written about a friend.
I wish I could find the note I wrote with the title of the song and the story behind it (or even recorded a video clip of it so that I could try looking it up), but careless me must have misplaced it, but let me tell you, the room became absolutely still and engrossed with the lyrics and the melody being sung. It's in moments like those that you respect the power of songwriting, and Melody Guy made us all, in that moment, respect the power of the art form.
Editor's Note 4/13/18: Melody reached out to us to let us know that the song referenced above is titled "Mistakes Like Me".

Background and Design: Melasma is an acquired, masklike, facial hyperpigmentation. The pathogenesis and treatment of melasma in black (African-American) patients is poorly understood. We investigated the efficacy of topical 0.1% all-trans-retinoic acid (tretinoin) in the treatment of melasma in black patients. Twenty-eight of 30 black patients with melasma completed a 10-month, randomized, vehicle-controlled clinical trial in which they applied either 0.1% tretinoin or vehicle cream daily to the entire face. They were evaluated clinically (using our Melasma Area and Severity Index), colorimetrically, and histologically.

When visiting my grandma growing up, I have several memories of her taking us out to Tarpon Springs, a small town near her home known for it's Greek flare. There were boat rides where divers searched for the natural bath sponges under the water, and you could always count on some type of tasty treat by the end of the day.
Whenever we ate lunch in Tarpon Springs, my grandma always took us to her favorite restaurant overlooking the water. I ordered probably the most American item on the menu: a chicken pizza. Luckily, my preference for Greek has come a long way since then, with a newfound love for falafel and Greek salads.
These Greek chicken meatballs are my latest favorite. Baked for a healthier take, I stuffed them into a pita filled with all of the best flavors Greece is known for: feta cheese, fresh and colorful veggies, and all of the tzatziki sauce I could fit. Also surprising was just how easy it was to create my own tzatziki sauce from ingredients that are pretty much staples in our kitchen.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and grease a baking sheet.
Roll out golf ball sized portions of the mixture and place on your baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes, flip, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Enjoy atop a pita with choice of veggies, on a salad, or with tzatziki.
Combine all of the ingredients into a bowl, adjusting the flavors to match your preference.

Ford Emissions Fraud Lawsuit
Ford Emissions Fraud Lawsuit2020-12-18T10:41:50-06:00
F-250, F-350 and F-450 HEAVY DUTY SUPER DIESEL
The Ford Motor Co. and Robert Bosch GMbH are facing a class action lawsuit over allegations of emissions cheating on select Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty diesel models. The lawsuit – filed in Michigan federal court – alleges that at least 500,000 Ford Super Duty diesel trucks were equipped by Ford and Bosch with software defeat devices that were designed to conceal the high emissions levels of these vehicles.
According to the class action complaint, the emissions cheating software was installed by Ford and Bosch on Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty, and Ford F-450 Super Duty models with a 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel engine. The software was designed to disable the emissions control system when the vehicles were driven under normal conditions, causing them to emit pollution levels 50-times greater than what is allowed under federal law.
The lawsuit alleges that Ford has equipped its diesel trucks with the emissions software since at least 2011.
During this period, Ford marketed its Super Duty diesel trucks as helping to reduce nitrous oxide emissions by up to 80%. However, tests performed on the affected vehicles painted a far different picture regarding their pollution levels. Emissions tests performed on the affected truck models found that they release average emissions that are 2.4-times the federal maximum. When the trucks are being driven uphill, they can release emissions that are up to 50-times the federal limit.
U.S. Clean Air Act
By equipping the F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty trucks with the defeat device, the lawsuit alleges that Ford and Bosch violated the U.S. Clean Air Act. The lawsuit also accuses Ford and Bosch of violating consumer protection and false advertising law in nearly all 50 states, as well as violations of federal racketeering laws. The lawsuit is seeking class action status of these federal RICO violations on behalf of drivers who purchased or leased one of the affected vehicles.
According to the lawsuit, consumers who purchased or leased one of the affected Ford truck models paid about $8,400 more for these vehicles than they would have for their gas-powered alternatives. The lawsuit argues that consumers would not have paid more for the advertised performance and fuel-efficiency of the affected Super Duty trucks if they had known about Ford and Bosch's alleged emissions cheating.
Consequence:
When real-world performance does not meet the specifications advertised by the company, consumers are the ones who suffer. Persons who bought a Ford F-250, F-350 or F-450 Super Duty diesel pickup may be eligible to take legal action against the automaker for its deception and sub-par product. Our firm has already taken steps to begin individually-based lawsuits on this issue to avoid the non-specificity in class action settlements and provide each owner their day in court.
If you have experienced any of these problems with your vehicle, contact me, I CAN HELP YOU! !
The first step in taking legal action is to speak with an attorney who has the experience in emissions cheating litigation to advise you of your legal rights and walk you through the first steps of filing a case. If you purchased a Ford F-250, F-350 or F-450 Super Duty truck with a 6.7 liter Power Stroke diesel engine and manufactured from 2011 to 2017, contact us regarding taking legal action against the automaker for their alleged installing of software designed to beat emissions tests and selling you a vehicle that does not meet state and federal emissions standards.

Aging and pain perception in ischemic heart disease.
Age is a recognized risk factor for coronary artery disease, but the relationship between age and silent ischemia is not well understood. We analyzed the data from 35 rest/stress radionuclide ventriculography examinations in patients with documented ischemic coronary artery disease who had experienced 1 mm ST segment depression accompanied by angina during exercise testing. An index of ischemic cardiac pain perception (PPI) was calculated by subtracting the time of onset of 1 mm ST segment depression from the time of onset of angina. The mean value of PPI was -97 +/- 311 seconds. PPI was significantly correlated with age (r = 0.37, p = 0.03). This suggests that as age increases, perception of pain during myocardial ischemic episodes becomes muted. This relationship remained significant when we controlled for the presence of medication and severity of disease (change in ejection fraction from rest to peak exercise). These findings suggest that age is an independent risk factor for a decreased perception of ischemic cardiac pain, and thus for silent myocardial ischemia.

Imax CEO expects 'embarrassment of riches' from slate of 2021 film releases
Despite the variety of productions delayed this 12 months by the coronavirus pandemic, Imax CEO Richard Gelfond on CNBC Monday stated the brand new 12 months may show to be profitable for his firm.
While studios paused tapings, movie releases had been additionally delayed as film theaters closed throughout the nation in response to the Covid-19 outbreak earlier this 12 months. Gelfond expects to recoup at the least a number of the income that was missed out on in 2020, ought to optimistic forecasts for holding the worldwide well being disaster play out as hoped, giving Imax a lift as film lovers hunt down immersive leisure that they cannot get at house.
"In a way, 2021, if things do open early in the year, it's an embarrassment of riches," he stated in a "Closing Bell" interview. "There's an awful lot of content, and that's true on a global basis."
Some of the extremely anticipated movies that Gelfond is banking on to be launched subsequent 12 months embrace "Top Gun: Maverick," "Black Widow" and "Fast & Furious 9." Each of their deliberate 2020 releases had been pushed again to 2021. Imax additionally has publicity to overseas field places of work with places in 82 nations, the place different movies are additionally on backlog, Gelfond stated. North America makes up one-third of Imax's international enterprise.
In 2019, Imax recorded its best-grossing 12 months with $1.035 billion in box-office gross sales. It was the second straight 12 months the corporate introduced in additional than $1 billion in complete receipts. That streak was damaged in 2020.

Home Arkansas Blog School voucher bill advances over criticism
School voucher bill advances over criticism
The Senate Education Committee this morning approved the bill to divert state tax money to private schools, a backdoor voucher bill that uses tax credits for contributions to 529 savings plans to accomplish a public subsidy of private schools. It's expected to be easily approved in the House and Senate though it's a historic diversion of state tax money
to general private school use.
The bill has been estimated by state finance officials to take $5.2 million a year out of state revenue and divert it to private school tuition.
Sen. Linda Chesterfield objected. She said she opposed the bill as a policy matter, but also noted that it would primarily benefit higher-income parents and would be of no use in poor parts of the state where private school options are virtually non-existent.
Ginny Blankenship of Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families said the bill diverted badly needed public money to private schools and follows refusal by the legislature to provide money to cover shortfalls in funding for catastrophic educational needs; for pre-K education and for after-school tutoring programs.
The bill was approved on a voice vote, but three Democrats voted no on the eight-member committee.

In my last blog, we talked about the huge gulf between the value of speech analytics and the actual use of speech analytics in contact centers. The penetration rate is only about 15%, but it is growing at a rapid 20% CAGR because historical barriers to purchase have recently been removed: low voice recognition accuracy is now comparable to the human ear, and a large upfront investment is now mitigated by the availability of cloud-based SaaS models.
A phonetic speech analytics solution preprocesses the audio into the possible sequences of sounds or "phonemes" and encodes the result in a lattice of possibilities. Then the search terms are also translated into a sequence of phonemes, and the search determines whether this sequence is somewhere in the lattice. There are two advantages of this approach. First, the initial processing time is very fast, since the "vocabulary" is just the set of sounds in the language. However, the searches are much slower since they cannot be efficiently indexed the way words can. The second advantage is that even if the search term is totally new, such as a name that has just newly been introduced into the spoken language (like the drug "cialis"), the term may still be found if that sequence of phonemes exists (" S IY AH L IH S " ). The disadvantage is that since there are many possible sequences in the lattice, the term may be found in many places where it was never said (e.g., if the actual words were "see a list").
Transcription‐based approaches (LVCSR) transcribe the audio into a sequence of words and then use standard text‐based search methods to find the search terms. Since the transcription based approach uses a dictionary of generally 50,000 ‐ 100,000 words and statistical methods to confirm the likelihood of different word sequences (like "the side effect of cialis include" or "cialis pills"), the accuracy is much higher than just the single word lookup of a phonetic approach, so it is more likely that if the word is found, it was spoken. The disadvantage is that the words in the search terms must be available in the dictionary in advance of processing the audio for ingestion by the transcription engine. The initial processing of the audio takes longer than with a phonetic approach because of the large vocabulary, however, searching is instantaneous.

Pakistan - February, 2010 - graphic warnings on cigarette packs..
November 25, 2009 - Frightening figures: about a 100,000 people die in Pakistan annually owing to diseases related to smoking. Pakistan has finally decided to stub it out, so to speak. Beginning next February, cigarette packs will have pictorial warnings to wean smokers away from, well, ending up in a smoke.
Until now, any official attempt to check the menace was limited to observing the annual World No-Tobacco Day with sound and the odd fury but little action.
Pakistan's Ministry of Health has now mandated that cigarette packs will have picture-based health warnings that cover 40% of the principal display area on both the front and back of the packs. The decision has been hard-fought and hard-earned on the part of those campaigning for control given the clout of the tobacco industry, which still managed to pressurise the ministry into reducing the original recommended size of half the display area to forty per cent.
The decision to make graphic health warnings mandatory was announced at a seminar arranged in connection with World No Tobacco Day on May 31 this year. At the time, the ministry had announced January 1, 2010 as the deadline for the implementation of the decision. The intervening period was marked by hectic lobbying by the tobacco industry, which tried everything it possibly could to delay the move for pictorial warnings.
While the inevitable has been delayed by only a month, the tobacco industry successfully lobbied to have the size of pictorial warning reduced by a fifth. Its lobbyists argued that even in Britain, a lead time of three years was given to the industry. However, Pakistan's ministry of health appears to have weathered the storm from different quarters and has largely lived up to the expectations of those campaigning for control over the grave threat it poses to millions in Pakistan.
The industry also reportedly, argued that it did not have state-of-the-art printing machines required for four-colour printing on cigarette packs. Some bureaucrats working for an Islamabad-based tobacco company worked their butts off (no pun intended) to first buy time till the end of 2020 and then at least till mid next year.
Islamabad has already withdrawn the controversial Statutory Regulatory Order on designated smoking areas and even closed the smoking lounges at the parliament — a symbolic step given the significance of where the first step was taken.
It is heartening for health-conscious Pakistanis to know that President Asif Zardari has taken personal interest to get the whip cracking. To begin with, he has stopped the purchase of special cigarettes for the Presidency.
The Pakistan Tobacco Company was until now manufacturing cigarettes with insignias of the Presidency, Prime Minister House and Governor Houses on cigarette packs - an obvious reflection of their reach and clout.
The government has taken up recommendations for high resolution images that arouse fear and shock along with health warnings on cigarette packs and extend the same to other smokeless tobacco products. The selected photos would target current smokers in order to encourage them to give up smoking, the youth to save them falling into a potentially killing habit and to drive home the dire message among non-smokers tempted to join the league.
These measures were perhaps necessary given few were willing to walk the talk. In Pakistan, the media is particularly to blame for underplaying messages aimed at highlighting the extremely harmful effects of smoking.
Perhaps, the reason lies in the majority of journalists themselves being smokers — some chain, others occasional and the rest puffing their way just to be seen in the same "macho" league.
Is it any wonder therefore, that according to a study no more than 5% of the Pakistani population is aware that tobacco smoking damages the lining of blood vessels, deposits cholesterol and reduces the blood flow to the heart causing heart diseases? But this is nothing compared to statistics that should have the smoke coming out of most ears. The situation begs urgent attention — before the current generation of smokers and those following it end up in a smoke themselves.
Early bird catches the worm, they say, and so should be the emphasis on getting a handle on youth in particular, which at 42% of Pakistan's population, are the most vulnerable to the menace.
Consider these facts:
-According to Ministry of Youth Affairs, every day, 1,200 young Pakistanis — aged between six and 15 - including girls begin smoking. Independent experts put the daily figure at 1,600 between the ages of 15 and 19.
-There are about 30mn smokers in Pakistan, 28% of these are students. Schools, colleges and universities serve as breeding grounds — away from any prying eye — for these students.
-According to a recent research by the National Health Services of Pakistan, 14.4bn cigarettes are sold daily — a million every minute.
-Pakistan Medical Society says 42.7% of the country's population indulge in tobacco smoking on a daily basis.
-According to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, 40% of the patients admitted in the Intensive Care Unit of Islamabad's top medical facility with lung disease are smokers.
Around 75% of the patients visiting the cardiology outpatient department suffer from ischemic heart disease and 70% of these are chronic smokers between the ages of 40 to 55. Not surprisingly, most of them began smoking when they were young.
-According to Pakistan Anti-Smoking Society, tobacco sales per year in Pakistan amount to 108,000 tonnes. The government gets an annual revenue of $452mn out of these sales.
-About a 100,000 people die in Pakistan every year owing to diseases related to tobacco smoking.
It is not for want of regulations but the spirit and willingness to implement those regulations that has allowed the tobacco industry a free reign. The World Health Organisation says if Islamabad is really serious, it should ban all forms of tobacco advertising and substantially, raise the taxation system.
The new measure will at least provide hope to those who wondered if Pakistan, which ranks with India, Japan, Thailand and Turkey as one of the world's largest tobacco growers and where the government benefits enormously from its sale will be able to stop young people from dying for a smoke — perhaps, literally.

Get Your Strength Through Oi: An Interview With Punktrepreneur Toby Mott
text by Oliver Maxwell Kupper
Toby Mott owns one of the largest collections of skinhead and punk ephemera from the halcyon days of anarchy in the UK. A punk himself, Mott has turned his youth in revolt into an enterprise with the Mott Collection, which recently was released in the street edition of Skinhead: An Archive. Punk historian or punktrepreneur, Mott is intent of preserving the legacy of one of the most misunderstood subcultures. Skinheads, although some had nationalist or Nazi leanings, were not all rabid and racist xenophobes. Some, in fact, were gay. Some were Jewish. Some were jocks. Some were women. In fact, the skinheads were the working class alternative to a posh Swinging 60s London, with Cockney and Jamaican roots. Mott acquired much of his archive in real time, collecting posters, patches, posters, zines and more. In the 70s, he was the founder of the Anarchist Street Army, which tried to toss over the establishment in the Pimlico area of London. In he 80s, he lived in squat with the likes of boy George and made appearances in films by Derek Jarman, and was included in Gilbert and George's 'Existers' series. Mott was also the founder of Grey, an anarchist art collective that would vandalize areas of London, spraying grey paint on windows. His involvement in that group got him arrested and banned from the U.K. Today, Mott is more a gentleman than a punk, but a punk at heart. He has shed his leather for a clean, crisp dress shirt and a sharp blazer. We met up with Mott one sunny day by the beach during his recent trip to Lost Angeles to discuss skinheads, his collection and what it means to be punk in the digital age.
OLIVER KUPPER: Skinheads have this association to neo-Nazi culture. Putting out something related to skinheads, people might think that it's related to Nazi culture. How do you clear up this confusion?
TOBY MOTT: People jump to the conclusion that I am, or I was, a skinhead. But this is a neutral overview of a culture. Most people more readily associate skinheads with fascist, neo-Nazi culture. But one of the reasons for doing the book is to show that it's much more diverse. There are all different kinds of skinheads. In London, now, if you saw a skinhead, most people would assume that they're gay. So you've gone from a threatening, aggressive, neo-fascist to gay culture. Apart from that, there's the whole S.H.A.R.P. (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice) thing, which came from America. It was pretty multi-ethnic in the UK, with The Specials and the whole 2-tone thing. I think it's the same with most things. The most aggressive aspects get the most press, because they're newsworthy. But it's certainly not the dominant element of skinhead culture.
KUPPER: There are multiple subcultures within skinhead culture.
MOTT: Yeah. Within skinhead culture, you get into scooter skins, skinhead girls. When skinhead culture mutates and travels abroad, say, in Eastern Europe, it's must more militaristic and nationalist. It's kind of evolved from the original British skinhead. It's become more uniform. In Russia, there's a big skinhead culture, but it's more nationalist.
KUPPER: Were you part of this culture?
MOTT: No. I was a punk. I was actually a victim of skinheads. Skinheads, initially, were born in the late 60s, early 70s. It turned into something called "suedeheads" and then "bootboys," with the whole football violence, football hooligan thing. The fashion changed and evolved. They were into glam rock, and the reggae thing kind of brought it out. But then when punk came out - say, in '76, and the high point in '77 – there were bands like Sham 69 who were called "street punk." Somehow, that initiated a skinhead revival. As a sort of look, this was much more developed than the original skinheads. That's where the uniform evolved and became fetishized – the Fred Perry, stuff like that. They would also attend the same kinds of gigs I was at. Often, at any random point, they would just attack you. That happened to me – which I write about in the book – at a Sham 69 gig. There was just a general level of intimidation between the punks and the skinheads. It wasn't a happy unity, although we shared the same music. This was before the white power thing. Around '78/'79, Sham 69, Cock Sparrer, Cockney Rejects and other punk bands were adopted by skinheads. But punks would also be at the gig. There was an uneasy tension.
KUPPER: What do you think was in the atmosphere during that time that was creating these subcultures?
MOTT: At the time, there was a recession. It was pre-Thatcher; Thatcher was elected in '79. There was the Cold War. The Labor Party was Left Wing. There was a kind of crisis, especially for young people. There wasn't really an economic future. That has often fueled youth cultures in Britain, which are often political, not just fashion or music things. Everyone, pretty much, was a part of some kind of subculture. You had goths, punks, skinheads – the whole flamboyant, romantic thing. And then you had football hooligans. But there was never really a passive kid. You always had to be something or other.
KUPPER: Who were the football hooligans?
MOTT: They were the white working class. They got their thrills out of violence. They still exist. But that's all across Europe. They fight each other. The police have really come down and sent people to prison, but it's still big. It's a subculture.
KUPPER: It seemed like punk had a soundtrack, with a lot of bands coming out. With the skinheads, it seems looser. It seems way more personal.
MOTT: Well, there are all different types of skinheads. The white nationalist skinheads would go for things like Screwdriver, No Remorse. There's a whole culture with these bands – Rock-o-Rama Records. They have a record label, a whole culture, a whole identity. Putting that aside, we also had the whole 2-tone thing, with The Specials and Selector, which are multi-cultural, anti-racist. The look was less aggressive. Later on, in the 80s, you got bands like Bronski Beat, which appealed to the gay identity of skinheads. Then there was the street punk thing, which was referred to as "Oi!" So there's no one musical influence. Whichever type of skinhead you were, you had your music. Then, you have a sentimental figure like Nicky Crane, who was on the cover of "Strength through Oi!" album. He was a prominent neo-Nazi, but he had a whole secret gay life. He was to die of AIDS later. In a way, he symbolizes the whole story, the whole contradiction within these cultures and identities.
KUPPER: Where does Bruce LaBruce tie in?
MOTT: Bruce LaBruce obviously fetishizes the whole skinhead thing. He's from Canada. He's interested because he sexualized it. In a way, if you look at those so-called neo-Nazi skinheads, it's very homoerotic. The mosh pit thing…
KUPPER: Taking your shirt off, lots of fluids…
MOTT: Yeah. And then to find that some of the most celebrated heroes of that actually have this whole gay, secret life – it's kind of obvious, right? At the time, though, it was big news. It was in the newspapers. But LaBruce adopted the skinhead look. I'm not quite sure how it's viewed. Some of the original skinheads don't appreciate this imagery, I'm sure. They write to me about my book, "How fucking dare you?" They don't even want to acknowledge it.
KUPPER: When did you start collecting this material?
MOTT: I collected punk stuff as a punk. I was always fascinated by the skinhead element that was around me. I always collected the political pamphlets, from the both the Left and the Right, which were being circulated. The skinheads were the people circulating the extreme Right Wing stuff. It just added to my punk collection. Then later, in my discussion with the publisher, I stripped out the skinhead part of my punk collection, and it made the book.
KUPPER: Was there a Penthouse article that explores this material? What was that about?
MOTT: Weirdly enough, that features Nicky Crane. I think the media has always been fascinated with skinheads because they are violent. Although, as I've said, they weren't all violent. The one the media concentrates on are the violent ones. American Penthouse did an article about British skinhead culture. But they don't really have a say. In opposition, there are all these anti-fascist groups. But that story isn't always as newsworthy.
KUPPER: You had a confrontation with skinheads at a venue. Were there any other terrifying moments in your experience?
MOTT: In my foreword to the book, I write about being surrounded by skinheads. There were some notable events. There was this thing called "Rock Against Racism" in 1978, to combat the rise of fascism. They very cleverly had bands like The Clash and Sham 69 to play these concerts. Everyone would go. On the way to one of these events, we were cornered on the top of a double decker bus. I was with my two sisters, who were punks. Because they fancied my sisters, the skinheads, we got by. It was another close shave. The interaction with the skinheads was aggressive. That was their mode of communication. Punks are much more articulate. Skinheads were never adopted by middle class kids like punk was. Punk was pretty much all-inclusive – race, class, whatever. The skinheads were always working-class. Not always white, but the majority were.
KUPPER: I don't think a lot of people realize that punk was more temperate than skinhead.
MOTT: Skinhead was rigid. The uniform was rigid. Punk was inventive and creative.
KUPPER: Like hippies with mohawks.
MOTT: Skinhead was all-formulaic – these clothes, this haircut. It was militaristic, like a uniform.
KUPPER: That was all new at that point. Now, we have this completely different perspective of what punk is, just because it's been commercialized and sexualized. Is it an attitude?
MOTT: Yeah, punk's an attitude.
KUPPER: You don't need to dress like that. You can be a punk in the way you look at work, at life.
MOTT: I think the book fair is punk, because it's got that whole DIY thing. It's not punk to look like a punk from the '70s or '80s. That's not punk; that's retro. I think the book encapsulates the whole ethos of do-it-yourself. The Internet is a gateway to that. But the Internet might be too easy. It depends on how you use it. What is punk today? Punk is an attitude. A creative attitude.
KUPPER: Going back a little bit, to the idea of skinheads shaving their head – what do you think the symbolism behind that was?
MOTT: I think the main thing about skinheads even from the late '60s was they would lose the identity of being working class. The manual labor was being lost with the rise of technology. By the late '80s when it was revived I think it was a safe place if you were lost, white, working class, and your whole future was being eroded. They fetishized the workman's uniform. I think that's what happened.
Also, some people like a code, like wearing black. That appealed to some people. Then they also had the camaraderie and the whole homoerotic thing.
KUPPER: I had always heard that the shaved head had to do with lice from working class individuals living and working where they were getting scabies and lice – that it was just an easy way to avoid that.
MOTT: A utilitarian thing. It also means you weren't a hippie. The thing about the '60s skinheads is that their hair wasn't as short as the later skinheads when what you wear became much more defined. There's that book – The Skinhead Bible – which maps that out. But yeah it comes from working on a building site.
KUPPER: In terms of outsider culture going on today, do you notice any prominent subcultures that are making an impact?
MOTT: There's always elements in hip hop culture. In the UK we have a thing called Grime, which is an underground thing. Then there's the trans culture, sexual identity thing that is very outsider. It's hard because now everything comes to the floor so quickly, nothing has time to become anything before it's either exposed or picked up by a celebrity. I think for people who don't find their place in the world how it is, they gravitate towards each other.
KUPPER: It's interesting what's going on in terms of the trans community and the gay community. Especially with fashion.
MOTT: I come from a world where gender is very clearly defined with expectations, but now it's much more fluid.
KUPPER: Where did you grow up?
MOTT: I grew up in Central London.
KUPPER: What did your parents do?
MOTT: My father was a professor, my mother was a social worker. I was a middle-class punk. My parents met at art school so I came from a bohemian or what's called the intelligentsia background. My emersion in punk was from making fan zines and that whole creative area, I went to art school.
What I find really fascinating about skinhead culture is that none of that culture was created by people I meet. A lot of what punk is supposed to be about is the kind of clothes, which came from these deprived backgrounds, whereas in fact it came from art schools. Skinhead culture is not from art schools. None of them went to art school, hardly any of them went to school. So it's amazing there's these artifacts. It's less informed than punk. People who were involved in punk are informed about Dada and stuff like that; skinheads aren't. It's got a raw uniqueness to it. Some of this stuff comes from towns in Scotland and fucking nowhere. Deprived places.
KUPPER: Yeah, industrial towns.
MOTT: Yeah.
KUPPER: Where does Joy Division fit into all of that? It seems like they're in this in-between place.
MOTT: Joy Division is from Manchester but they're not related to skinhead culture. They're too sensitive. They're articulate and sensitive but they're also from the same kind of background so they could have been skinheads. There were always kids who were more into music and girls than football and violence; they became punks like Joy Division. If those weren't choices, then you became a skinhead.
KUPPER: So just fate?
MOTT: It was kind of predetermined. If your family members go to prison, you're going to be a skinhead. If your family members go to art school, you'll probably be a punk. I think in America it's different so I can only talk about the British experience.
KUPPER: Americans seem very inspired, though, by the British.
MOTT: I get the idea that some of the people I've met here that were in skinhead gangs could possibly be from middle-class backgrounds. That really didn't happen in the UK. There is a class structure there, and even in the subcultures it powers through. Apart from punk where everyone goes. But like I said, that was the more creative and rebellious kids.
KUPPER: I think that the white power thing in skinhead culture is a very American thing. It's very difficult to find non-racist skinheads in the US.
MOTT: I think they just get more attention. And they've murdered a few more people. There's always psychos right? But also they're organized like the whole Tom Metzger thing and get more press. In Britain we have white power skinheads aligned fringe Neo-Nazi groups.
KUPPER: In terms of where the book is going – there's a second edition that's out now. Will there be a third edition?
MOTT: There probably will be a third. What's interesting is that we always add something new. Who knows!
KUPPER: We live in such a digital age now, how do we collect this ephemera that's alive today? What's your advice?
MOTT: A lot of it is in the music world. I don't know because I'm not sure how information circulates now. In my day you would be informed of a gig or an event on a piece of paper. Now it'd probably be on a PDF. Who wants to collect PDFs?
KUPPER: Who wants to print a PDF? (Laughs.)
MOTT: I don't know, it's just something else. Luckily for me most of my projects end with facture in '90 or '91. That's the beginning of rave and the whole dance, hip-hop scene. Once it goes digital and online it's different.
KUPPER: But now with the book fair it seems like zine culture is very much alive.
MOTT: Yeah there's this whole analogue culture driven by the internet. It's very exciting.
KUPPER: It is very exciting; we're trying to explore that right now.
MOTT: I'm very pleased to be a part of that. I think it's very important that things have an actuality rather than just an online presence. The book fair is amazing, it's not even a retro thing. It's real.
KUPPER: It is. I don't think people are using it in a derivative way where they're trying to recreate something from the past. It's definitely very new, and I love what Printed Matter is doing.
MOTT: And it's global. It's all over Europe. These books are also beautiful objects, it's not like buying a book on Amazon. It's almost like some sort of art thing.
KUPPER: There's a lot of freedom in DIY, you're not really censored by anything specific.
MOTT: And it's not economically driven. It's not a money thing.
KUPPER: No one's making money.
MOTT: No one's making money, and everyone knows there's no money to make so it's kinda cool. (Laughs.) There's a few people in it who want to make money, but that's why I always say to them that there's no money to make. So do something else. In a way it's kind of pure; the fact that there's no money other than being able to cover the cost of doing the project.
KUPPER: That's why you have your day job. What do you think about magazines like Richardson magazine outside of the scope of everything else?
MOTT: Andrew [Richardson] is a good friend of mine. I don't know if it's a parody of a porn magazine or if it's a way of being a porn magazine for a new audience.
KUPPER: Interesting. Because he doesn't really say it's porn, it's a sex magazine. It's not a porn magazine even though there's only porn stars on the covers of every issue.
MOTT: I think to do that kind of thing it's got to be away from the male gaze. I don't know enough about porn, it's a massive culture. It's the biggest thing. He plays around with that but he's really created a clothing brand.
KUPPER: That seems very punk in and of itself what he's doing.
MOTT: Yeah I guess so. He's taken something that most people find offensive and some people find acceptable, but not all people do. It's a fine line.

Atai Targets $2.3bn Valuation in Nasdaq IPO
Atai's amended S-1 filing, submitted to the SEC today, reveals a target valuation of around $2.3bn.
The Berlin-based biotech, which has a number of programs that focus on psychedelics, hopes to sell approximately 14.3 million shares. Those shares will be priced between $13 and $15 each.
Atai's latest round was a $157m Series D, which it announced the closing of earlier this year.
The company will list on the Nasdaq under ticker symbol ATAI.
This is a breaking news story, which will be updated should further information arise.
