# Crime in Pakistan

Crime in Pakistan is present in various forms, especially in the cities of Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Peshawar, Multan, Hyderabad, Islamabad and Quetta. Among other general crimes, it includes major crimes such as murder, rape, kidnapping, armed robbery, burglary, carjacking and corruption. A direct relationship has been identified between the crime rate and unemployment rate in Pakistan. Elevated unemployment diminishes the attractiveness of legal endeavors, consequently raising the potential gains from illicit pursuits. As a result, the likelihood of an upsurge in illegal activities rises. Crime statistics of Pakistan shows that there is a rapid increase in the number of crime reported over time like other countries of the world, mainly due to high unemployment, rising poverty, increasing inflation and urbanization. Some other non-economic factors are also responsible for it.

## Quotes

* There is a new business in Pakistan, and it plays with the life and death of innocent people. It goes like this: hackers post online contents blaspheming Islam in the name of persons who do not even know what is going on. Then they report their victims to the police, who arrest them based on the fabricated blasphemy charges. At this stage, the hackers offer to retract the allegations and tell the police they were based on a “mistake” if the victim pays a significant sum of money. If [the] victims do not pay, [then the] cases go on and they face blasphemy charges which may lead to the death penalty under Pakistani law.

## Quotes

* It is very overwhelming to play in your first world cup, but for me, it is the third one.
* So, it is just another tournament; whether it is the Commonwealth Games or a World Cup, the name really doesn’t matter. It is just a matter of playing against 16 countries and trying to be the best.
* The more games you play, the less stress and nerves become. The pressure will always still be there
* It is about taking that experience and telling the next player: ‘Hey, It is just another match, focus on our goals, focus on what is important.’ If you keep focusing on what your job is and what you do next, you will forget about everything else.

* Given its price advantage and a head start in the market, Microsoft's TV strategy will be difficult for Apple to beat.
** Apple Doesn't Need To Make the TV of the Future in Slate (27 March 2012)
* It's easy to rib Microsoft for copying Apple, and seeing the two stores side by side does make Team Redmond look a bit pathetic. But in business, losing face isn't as important as making money. And after visiting a couple Microsoft stores, I'm convinced they'll help Microsoft bring in more cash.

Not because the Surface is so great — though it seems like it might be — but because it represents a new and potentially powerful force in the tech industry.

## Quotes

* No one should say I have to do it, it should come from my heart to stop netball. I cannot just sleep and wake up and say, now I'm done
* If I'm still strong, I can still go and play. I can say I still have five more years. There are youngsters coming in so I think for them to come while I'm still active, it's a good bonus for the players and share what I learnt with the experience I have with those players before I step off.
* So, I think for me while I'm still active, it's my job to help the youngsters and then when I step off at least there's no gap.
* It is important because obviously these guys playing National Champs, Varsity [Netball], their set up is not the same. So, to come into our setup it's totally different. So, they need someone who's already in the setup. Someone who's gonna guide [them] like a leader. I think that's what we doing as leadership in the Spar Proteas setup.

* It would be a tragedy if in our deliberations we gave the impressions that the modem section of our communities is not of concern to us. This pain and suffering calls for the defence of the dignity of the African people. It makes it imperative that the Church in Africa continue to place at the heart of its ministry matters of justice. This justice must embrace both the way in which we treat each other as Africans and the manner of dealings of others who interact with us.

## Quotes

* We'll get through this, the Church has been through a whole lot worse than this, but the thing is when you're in the middle of the storm, most of the time, all you comprehend is the storm. And when you're in that storm, it's like, when will this ever end? Because all your energy is focused on getting out of the storm and getting through the storm alive. You lose sense that it was calm before the storm, and there'll be calm afterwards and life will go on.

# Ian Wilson (conceptual artist)

Ian Wilson (1940 - 2020) is a South African conceptual artist, known for his work on art and language.

## Quotes

* O: Why did you leave sculpture for pure reflection? I mean thoughts, language and speech.
    W: The last sculpture I made was a white chalk circle drawn on the floor. It was more interesting to talk about it than draw it.
    O: Why?
    W: Because what was interesting about it was that it was a circle and you can speak about a circle as well.
   * From: Interview with Achille Bonito Oliva in 1972, as quoted in: Edward Allington. "About Time," in Frieze, Issue 92 June-August 2005
* I would be at a gallery opening and someone would ask me: “so what are you doing these days?” I would reply, “I am interested in the word ‘time’.” Later, someone would ask: “But how can time be your art?” And I might have replied, ‘as it is spoken: “time”.’ Another day, someone might have asked, having heard I was using time as my art: “So what are you working with these days?” and I would reply: “time”. I am interested in the idea […] I like the work when it is spoken: “time”.’ And so the work was used over and over again.
** In: Edward Allington. "About Time," in Frieze, Issue 92 June-August 2005
* Language is the most formless means of expression. Its capacity to describe concepts without physical or visual references carries us into an advanced state of abstraction.

## Quotes about Ian Wilson

* By adopting language as their exclusive medium, Weiner, Barry, Wilson, Kosuth and Art & Language were able to sweep aside the vestiges of authorial presence manifested by formal invention and the handling of materials
** Anne Rorimer, New Art in the Sixties and Seventies, Thames & Hudson, 2001. p. 76
* In 1968 Ian Wilson made his final sculpture. Since then, he has explored the idea of oral communication as an art form... Wilson’s work is very hard to track down, even in terms of documentation. He has been compared to the Socratic philosophers but if there is a similarity between his practice and theirs, it probably lies mainly in the fact that everything we have from that period of philosophy takes the form of secondary fragments embedded in other texts. Wilson’s work functions almost like archaeological or geological evidence: it consists of objects that we examine in order to deduce, from scanty clues, what must have happened.
** Edward Allington. "About Time," in Frieze, Issue 92 June-August 2005
* Conceptual artist Ian Wilson (1940 in Durban, South Africa) has been interested in spoken language as an art form since 1968. He describes his own work as ‘oral communication’, and later on as ‘discussion’. At Wilsons own request, his work is never recorded either as film or audio in order to preserve the transient nature of the spoken word.
