I make a couple of appearances in Fashion's Dirty Secrets. At 43, I'd view my casting as that of a wise(ish) elder. Because those who wield true influence over fashion brands are young. Fashion is obsessed with them and they have traditionally returned the love, often equally obsessively. But what happens when this relationship breaks down?
This is one of the questions Fashion's Dirty Secrets explores. Dooley begins on familiar territory, exposing the huge environmental footprint of the fashion industry. Fashion pollutes at source, extracting and processing raw materials thousands of miles away, plunging communities and landscapes – who Dooley visits – into ecological crisis.
When she returns she heads for Instagram influencers and shares her findings. This is fascinating. Social-media influencers are increasingly envoys of the new global fashion economy and that economy is still based on rabid consumerism. In a recent survey carried out by the eco-cleaning company, Method, nearly a quarter of 16- to 24-year-olds said they would only be pictured in an item one to three times on social media before discarding it.
But while their approval is everything, their censure is particularly powerful. Influencers are also, by definition, cool. From Vetements to Gucci to tiny ethical brands like London-based Riley Studio, the cool brands are all talking sustainability. As the strategy director of brand consultancy Siegel+Gale recently put it: "Knowing how and where something is made gives it social currency." Meanwhile, the fast fashion brands are losing their allure. At the Copenhagen Fashion Summit, supposedly the industry's big drive towards sustainability, Dooley plays cat and mouse with evasive mainstream brands who come across as unappealing.
The influencers seem shaken and stirred by Dooley's findings. They agree that the true cost of this type of consumption is too high. The stage seems set for a dramatic change. But we shouldn't be too Pollyanna-ish. Amazon has just announced a new fashion TV show, fronted by Project Runway stars Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn, that will be the first "shoppable experience" where fashion can be bought with a tap of the screen. Forbes has described the show as the "harbinger of a new retail world". At a point when we're already producing over 100bn new garments a year and brands are shovelling excess production into incinerators, that is concerning. By 2050 the industry will be responsible for quarter of all carbon emissions unless we apply the brakes.
To imagine that the generations subjected to this catastrophic abundance of fashion could be the ones to apply the brakes seems like fantasy. But we need them. To begin, Instagram influencers need to do more than post the odd positive message about vintage or recycled fibre. The influencers must become activists and take on the brands and habits plundering the planet.

This Is the Most Damning Passage in the Trump-Ukraine Call Record
ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS/AFP/Getty Images
"Whatever you can do, it's very important that you do it."
By Jay Willis
In this column, Due Diligence, erstwhile attorney and GQ staff writer Jay Willis untangles the messy intersection of law, politics, and culture.
Yesterday, Donald Trump said that he'd release a record of his already-infamous call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky in response to Nancy Pelosi's announcement that the House Democrats would launch a formal impeachment inquiry against the president. As Trump has already conceded, he asked Zelensky to look into the Ukraine business dealings of Hunter Biden, the son of former vice president and 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden, and also the elder Biden's role in calling for the ouster of a corrupt former Ukrainian prosecutor general.
Earlier in the summer, the White House had quietly placed a hold on $250 million in already-appropriated foreign aid to Ukraine. What remains unresolved is whether Trump did so to force Ukraine to investigate the Bidens, and/or whether he threatened to withhold it further if the Ukrainian government did not investigate his political opponent upon request. Releasing a "transcript," Trump said on Monday, would prove once and for all that their call was a "very innocent" one, and not a flagrant abuse of power worthy of constitutional remedy.
The document the White House actually released on Wednesday is not the "complete, fully-declassified, and unredacted transcript" he promised. It is, according to a "CAUTION" note at the bottom, a "Memorandum of a Telephone Conversation," or TELCON, which is "not a verbatim transcript of a discussion," but instead "records the notes and recollections" of the White House staffers who were "assigned to listen and memorialize the conversation" as it took place. And even in this version, the White House still couldn't manage to omit a record of this exchange between Zelensky (first) and Trump (on the following page):
As Zelensky expresses his eagerness to buy more Javelins—an American anti-tank missile his country has previously purchased—Trump interjects. "I would like you to do us a favor, though, because our country has been through a lot, and Ukraine knows a lot about it." From there, he asks Zelensky to look into CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm that attributed the 2016 hacks of the Democratic National Committee to Russia and helped launch special counsel Robert Mueller's probe of the Trump White House.
Later in their exchange, he makes clear that his request for an investigation extends to the Bidens, too, and urges Zelensky to cooperate with Trump attorney general William Barr. "There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution" he says, "and a lot of people want to find out about that." He concludes: "Whatever you can do with the attorney general, would be great."
Nowhere in this passage, of course, does Trump explicitly condition Ukraine's receiving Javelins (or any military aid) on complying with his requests. But in the movies, when the crime boss tells someone to do something and then adds, "It's very important that you do it," he doesn't need to add the "or else" part. Everyone knows a threat when they see it.

UAE: Investigate Allegations of Torture of Foreign Nationals
Former Detainees Describe Abuse by State Security officers
Correction: An original draft erroneously stated that Kamal Eldarat had made minor donations to the Justice and Construction political party in Libya. Human Rights Watch has been informed that no such donations were made and neither Eldarat has any ties to the Justice and Construction party.
(Beirut) – United Arab Emirates authorities should immediately investigate credible allegations that state security officers have tortured detainees and prosecute anyone responsible. The detainees include Canadian, Libyan, and United States citizens.
Human Rights Watch spoke separately with three former detainees and a family member of two current detainees, who were among or linked to a group of ten Libyan businessmen detained in the UAE in August and September 2014. The men said their interrogators asked them about their supposed links to the Muslim Brotherhood – which the UAE has designated a terrorist organization - and described a range of abuses, including beatings, forced standing, and threats to rape, kill, and electrocute. Their descriptions are consistent with previous allegations of torture at UAE state security facilities.
Six of the 10 men remain in incommunicado detention, including two Libyan-American citizens, Kamal and Mohamed Eldarat, and a Libyan-Canadian citizen, Salim Elaradi. None have received legal assistance, and it is not clear if they have been formally charged with any offence.
"There is strong evidence that the UAE maintains a facility outside Abu Dhabi city where security forces torture detainees while keeping their location secret," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director. "Any confessions or so-called intelligence that comes out of that facility should be considered inadmissible and unreliable."
The three former detainees told Human Rights Watch that state security officers blindfolded, handcuffed, and shackled them to the floor or ceiling of a customized black GMC 4x4 vehicle – the seats of which had been removed to apparently transport shackled detainees – and drove them to a detention center staffed by Nepalese guards and Emirati interrogators. They believed the facility to be close to Abu Dhabi city and said they could hear aircraft taking off and landing.
Two detainees said they were badly beaten during interrogations over more than two weeks. All three said they were blindfolded during their interrogation sessions. Detainees said their interrogators strapped them into what they were told was an electric chair, and threatened them with electrocution. One man said interrogators suspended him by his wrists and ankles from an iron bar and beat him. All three said interrogators threatened them with rape.
One of the former detainees says interrogators asked him to sign a statement that grossly misrepresented what he said during interrogation, and also falsely implicated a third-party in wrong-doing.
Mohamed Elaradi, the only one of the three willing to be identified, has a brother who is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Justice and Construction political party in Libya. Relatives of Kamal and Mohamed Eldarat, two of the six Libyans still being held incommunicado, said that Kamal and Mohamed are not members. In November 2014, the UAE government designated the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation.
Family members of the Eldarats told Human Rights Watch that authorities have prevented a lawyer they hired to represent their relatives from visiting the men or seeing their case files. It is not clear what charges, if any, the men are facing. The US embassy has told the family that their staff have been able to visit the men.
The UAE ratified the UN Convention Against Torture in July 2012, and is a State Party to the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations which requires that consular officers "shall have the right to visit a national of the sending State who is in prison, custody or detention."
"In view of repeated credible allegations of torture in the UAE and authorities' refusal to allow any legal assistance to detainees, the US, Canadian, and Libyan governments should publicly call for the release of their citizens," Stork said. "They should also demand full accountability for these disturbing allegations of torture and other crimes committed against them."
Details of UAE Torture Allegations
Former Detainee 1 - Mohamed Elaradi
Mohamed Elaradi, 51, a Libyan who had been officially resident in the UAE for 23 years, told Human Rights Watch that between eight and ten security officials searched his home and office in Dubai on August 28, 2014, and then blindfolded him, shackled him to the floor of a 4x4 vehicle and drove him to a detention facility. He said they placed him in a windowless cell measuring approximately 3 meters by 3 meters. "From that day on, I had no idea of time," he said. Elaradi spent more than 100 days in detention at this facility and was subjected to multiple interrogation sessions in the initial weeks, always blindfolded throughout. He told Human Rights Watch that interrogators with Emirati accents beat him all over his body, including the soles and tops of his feet, with rubber hoses; doused him with water and subjected him to extreme cold; forced him to stand for days at a time; threatened him with rape; and strapped him into what they said was an electric chair. "You could always hear torture, there was crying and screaming the whole time," he said, adding that on one occasion he heard his brother Salim screaming. UAE authorities released Mohamed Elaradi without charge on December 25, 2014. He said he did not see a lawyer or receive consular assistance from the Libyan embassy at any time during his detention, and was only allowed one supervised five-minute phone call to his family in November. His brother, Salim Elaradi, whom authorities arrested on the same day, is still in detention.
Former Detainee 2
The two other former detainees spoke to Human Rights Watch on condition of anonymity for security reasons. They also requested that Human Rights Watch withhold certain details of their detention in order to prevent their identification.
Detainee 2 told Human Rights Watch that more than 10 men in plainclothes detained him, then searched his house and confiscated documents and electronic equipment, before transporting him – blindfolded, handcuffed, and shackled to the ceiling of a 4x4 vehicle – to a detention facility. They did not identify themselves. He said that guards placed him in a windowless cell and subjected him to extreme light and a constant buzzing sound. "The first ten days were the worst of my life," he said. He said that two, sometimes three, officials with Emirati accents conducted the interrogations. "They beat me with their hands, their feet, anything at all. After ten days my body was black and blue and covered in blood." He told Human Rights Watch that they suspended him by his hands and feet from an iron bar and beat him. On one occasion, he said, they strapped him into what they said was an electric chair and threatened to electrocute him. He said they threatened to rape him and to detain his family members. He told Human Rights Watch that his interrogators questioned him about the Muslim Brotherhood, and in particular its operations in Libya. He said that during his time in detention, which lasted several months, he signed several documents, one of which was marked 'UAE State Security.'
Detainee 3 told Human Rights Watch that men who identified themselves as state security officials detained him in late 2014 and then transferred him – blindfolded, handcuffed, and shackled to the floor of a customised 4x4 vehicle – to a detention facility. He said he endured more than 50 interrogations over a period of several months, with most interrogations taking place in the first two weeks of his detention. He said that on at least five occasions, interrogators with Emirati accents forced him to stand overnight, blindfolded, with his hands and feet cuffed. He said his interrogators never beat him but that on two occasions they threatened to kill him, and on another occasion they threatened to send him to another group of interrogators "who have no limits and who don't distinguish between men and women," a statement he understood to be a threat of rape. He said his interrogators asked him to sign a statement that grossly misrepresented his relationship with and knowledge of a third-party whom it implicated in wrongdoing. He told Human Rights Watch that his interrogators' questions were for the most part very general, and focused on his relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood.
Kamal and Mohamed Eldarat
A relative of father and son Kamal and Mohamed Eldarat, both of whom have dual US and Libyan citizenship, told Human Rights Watch that approximately 15 individuals who identified themselves as state security searched their house in Dubai on August 26, 2014, and confiscated documents and electronic equipment. The relative said a female officer told the family that they would never see Kamal again as officers took him away in a 4x4 vehicle. Kamal's son, Mohamed, informed the Libyan and US embassies of his father's detention, but was himself detained two days later, on August 28, by the same group of officers. The family did not hear from either man until November 11, when Kamal called and told them only that he was fine. The family has hired a local lawyer, who has been unable to gain access to either Kamal or Mohamed, whose detention location remains undisclosed by authorities. The relative said the US embassy told the family that it cannot call for the men's release. On two occasions, a family member was able to visit the men. A relative visited Kamal and Mohamed in February and again in August 2015 at the office of the state prosecutor in Abu Dhabi. The relative said that the men were able to communicate to the family that they had been tortured into confessing membership of the Muslim Brotherhood and have suffered "black days." Kamal Eldarat, who had pre-existing spinal problems, is walking with a severe stoop and has lost his hair and a significant amount of weight, the relative said. Former Detainee 3 told Human Rights Watch that during his time in detention he heard and recognized the voices of Kamal and Mohamed Eldarat, whom he knows, screaming in pain.
Previous Allegations of Torture at State Security Facilities
In April 2012, UAE authorities detained UAE national Ahmed al-Suweidi for five months without charge at an undisclosed location and denied him access to a lawyer. His confession was a central part of the prosecution's case in the June 2013 conviction of another 68 men on charges that they attempted to overthrow the UAE government. Al-Suweidi revoked his confession and denied the allegations in court, and at least 22 of the 94 people tried in that case alleged that they were tortured in pretrial detention at state security facilities.
In January 2014, 20 Egyptians and 10 Emiratis were sentenced to between 3 months and 5 years in prison on charges that included running a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in the UAE. They also alleged that UAE state security officers tortured them and denied them access to legal assistance for many months.

Single, not ready to mingle! Jennifer Aniston is perfectly happy with her solo status, she told Howard Stern on Monday, October 7.
During her SiriusXM interview with Stern, the Friends alum, 50, confirmed she is enjoying being single after her split from husband Justin Theroux. "Yeah, and I'm very busy," she added. "For now. I'm promoting [The Morning Show]. I'm prepping for next season."
Aniston also declined the shock jock's offer of setting her up with someone. "Hey, listen, I just don't like being set up," she told Stern, 65. "I don't like it. I hate it."
The actress's gig on The Morning Show, which premieres on November 1 on Apple TV+, marks her first full-time television role since Friends ended in 2004. In the new drama, she plays Alex Levy, a TV anchor who goes it alone after her cohost, played by Steve Carell, is fired for alleged sexual misconduct — while she contends with an ambitious journalist, played by Reese Witherspoon.
Aniston has been married twice, first to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and then to Theroux from 2015 until their separation in 2017. She and the Leftovers star, 48, announced their breakup in a joint statement to Us Weekly in February 2018. "This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year," they said at the time. "We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship. … We are determined to maintain the deep respect and love that we have for one another."
Aniston and Pitt, 55, made headlines again in the wake of her split from Theroux and his separation from Angelina Jolie. In February, the exes reconnected at her 50th birthday party in Los Angeles. "Jen spoke to Brad briefly. At one point she hugged him and thanked him for coming. … It didn't seem like that big of a deal to Jen," an eyewitness told Us at the time. "The invite went out to a ton of people and he accepted. She was happy he was there, but that was it."
The following month, a source explained to Us that Aniston and the Ad Astra actor "are still in touch and speak, but there still isn't anything going on romantically between them."
The Dumplin' actress and Theroux seemingly reunited this year, as well, after their Dolly, the dog they shared, died in July. A close-up photo Theroux posted on Instagram at the time showed the actor holding hands with a woman fans suspected was Aniston.
Aside from her marriages, the Murder Mystery star has had relationships with Tate Donovan, Paul Rudd, Vince Vaughn and John Mayer through the years, and she's been linked to Paul Sculfor and Bradley Cooper.

Somebody asked me a few weeks ago whether I knew a lounge where you could listen to piano music, have a nice drink and enjoy the company of friends. Seeing as that concept was something I knew in Mexico but in Canada I wasn't too familiar with it (the idea of a "piano bar"), I was a bit taken aback. It took my friend Brian Webb's birthday for me to find out about 900 West at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.
Jay Minter invited me to join him and other friends of Brian to join them at 900 West Lounge at the Fairmont Vancouver Hotel for a drink. I will fully disclose that I had no clue that (a) the drinks were so good (b) the service was so nice (c) the music was fantastic (d) the atmosphere was really low-key, chill and perfect for a post-work or early evening (or even late evening) drink with friends.
The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver welcomes you to the 900 West Lounge. Relax in our soft wingback chairs, admire our beautiful architecture and enjoy the sultry sounds of our live jazz entertainment.
Business lunches for a few clients or a romantic dinner for two, the 900 West Lounge sets the mood for any occasion. With our extensive wine selection and our famous tapas menu you can never go wrong. The next time you join us let us take you on a journey with our wine flights or just a sip from our popular martini list. 900 West Lounge is where Vancouver meets!
As for drink prices? Pretty much around the price of any watering hole in Vancouver that prides itself in its martinis ($10-13). A bit on the pricey side, but still affordable if you have a drink. I would definitely come back, particularly as they have a nice lunch feature for $18.00!
Disclosure: As usual, I paid for my drinks on my own dime.
Thanks for the review! Sounds like this Hotel is a nice place when your want to unwind. The music of piano will certainly gives you a nice feeling while listening to it. And the drinks.. kinda cool!


The use of video surveillance systems is set to quadruple over the coming few years, according to a new study from ABI Research.
Company vice president and research director Stan Schatt said that revenue generated from surveillance software would increase to more than US$900 million in 2013, up from current revenues of $245 million.
Schatt said there were several big drivers for this increase, including increased spending on security systems by the government, on theft prevention systems by retail outlets and on surveillance by market researchers. Additionally, he said that the advent of Wi-Fi would make it possible to place wireless cameras just about anywhere while still sending footage back to a central location.
Looking at the broader picture, Schatt said that technological advances were also increasing the scope and the potential uses of video surveillance. He added that one of the more disturbing uses was the ability of store marketing departments to monitor the eyeball movements of customers to figure out what products or displays draw their attention.
"When stores have the ability to observe you as you walk through a store, what I can imagine is that more and more stores will try to basically have a pretty in-depth knowledge of their customers," he said. "So let's say for instance the store issues you a discount card that also has a radio frequency ID that identifies who you are. And then let's say they observe you looking at, but not actually purchasing, movies in the adult video section. Well, the next thing you know you're getting all these promotional materials for racy movies you're not even interested in."
Schatt also noted that more and more banks were looking into installing cameras with face recognition ability to help prevent robberies before they even occur. Thus, when a known bank robber enters a bank, the camera could recognise his face and send out an alert. Casinos were already deploying this sort of face recognition software to monitor their employees, Schatt said, and were using it to detect when certain employees enter into unauthorised areas and alerting the security team.
Schatt believes that as more surveillance equipment becomes increasingly digitised and software-reliant, it will increasingly move into the purview of IT departments. And because the surveillance software vastly broadens the extent to which companies and governments can watch people, it will inevitably create privacy concerns that will have to be addressed.
"Down the road our behaviour is going to be observed much more frequently, and that has all kind of implications," he said. "I mean, the fact that they're actually looking at your eyeball movements shows we've reached a whole new realm of surveillance capabilities."

Evacuation Flights Out Of Kabul, Afghanistan Resume
By Austin Kim
and Associated Press
The U.S. has resumed flights from Kabul's internation airport after flights were halted because of crowds on the tarmac.
The U.S. military is coordinating with the Taliban while accelerating the airlift of Americans and Afghan allies from the Kabul airport, and also bringing in additional U.S. troops in a scramble to complete the evacuation in two weeks, Pentagon officials said Tuesday.
Overnight at the airport, nine Air Force C-17 transport planes arrived with equipment and about 1,000 troops, and seven C-17s took off with 700-800 civilian evacuees, including 165 Americans, Army Maj. Gen. William Taylor told a Pentagon news conference. The total included Afghans who have applied for Special Immigrant Visas and third-country nationals, he said.
On Monday the airlift had been temporarily suspended when Afghans desperate to escape the country breeched security and rushed onto the tarmac. Seven people died in several incidents.

The chief Pentagon spokesman, John Kirby, said U.S. commanders at the airport are in direct communication with Taliban commanders outside the airport to avoid security incidents. He would not provide details but indicated this communication was in line with an arrangement made on Sunday by the head of U.S. Central Command, Gen. Frank McKenzie, when he met with Taliban leaders in Qatar and won agreement to "deconflict" forces and allow a safe U.S. evacuation.
Kirby said there have been no hostile actions by the Taliban, and that several hundred members of the now-defeated Afghan army are at the airport assisting in the evacuation.
He said U.S. forces plan to wrap up their oversight of the evacuation by Aug. 31, also the date President Joe Biden has set for officially ending the U.S. combat role in Afghanistan.
Kirby added that the U.S. was in charge of air traffic at the Kabul airport, where military and some commercial flights had resumed after they were suspended for a period of time on Monday amid a stampede onto runways by frightened Afghans.
The U.S. hopes to fly out up to 5,000 people a day once the full deployment of 6,000 U.S. troops arrive to secure the evacuation, and once more transport planes can land, he said.

Rejoice, SoJo 'shippers! Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas have officially taken things to the next level by making their long-rumored relationship Instagram official.
Turner posted a photo of the 27-year-old DNCE singer to her social media page over the New Year's Eve weekend. In the photo, Jonas is smoking a cigar and posing in sunglasses while lounging on a boat. Turner captioned the cool snap "Miami daze," confirming that the couple spent the weekend traveling and celebrating together.
The couple have been getting cozy for months; they've attended concerts and Halloween parties together and even a suspected ski trip. And though their reps have confirmed the relationship, neither Turner nor Jonas have publicly commented on their status yet. Guess this means we can finally start that petition to get Jonas a guest role on Game of Thrones as Sansa's new suitor.
This is actually not the first time Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have even appeared on social media together. After attending a wedding, Joe's brother Nick blew their cover by posting a picture to Instagram of the wedding guests in a photo booth, which sent fans into a tizzy about the new celebrity couple.
Jonas previously dated Gigi Hadid. The singer's reps later told People the singer was just "playing the field" but then decided to "settle down" for Turner.
Let's hope Jonas provides us with more cute social media fodder in the weeks to come.

Pa. sold nursing home testing plan as 'universal' and 'radical', but advocates say it's optional and insufficient

HARRISBURG — Last week, under growing pressure to address the mounting death toll of seniors in Pennsylvania's nursing homes, the Wolf administration announced a "robust universal testing strategy."
Gov. Tom Wolf called it a "fairly radical" plan with a goal to conduct testing "once a week for everybody — employees and patients and clients." Health Secretary Rachel Levine said the move, which marked a major reversal from the state's previous approach, was necessary to protect a vulnerable population.
"By testing every resident and every staff member in every nursing home, we will be able to pinpoint exactly who has COVID-19, who has been exposed but [has] no symptoms," Levine said at a news conference last Tuesday. "This effort will give us a clearer picture of the extent of outbreaks in nursing homes and a head start at stopping them."
But a closer examination of the administration's plan — along with interviews with senior-care advocates, lawmakers, and nursing home operators — reveals it falls short of official claims, has fueled some confusion on the ground, and would allow any nursing home to opt out of the robust testing suggested by the state.
Among the weaknesses:
State officials decided against making widespread testing mandatory, instead choosing to rely on voluntary compliance, despite the fact that state oversight has been extremely curtailed and advocates, family members, and lawmakers say facilities often flout recommended protocols.
The guidance recommends testing all residents and staff only at facilities that already have confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19. At other facilities, the recommendation is to consider testing just 20% of staff and residents weekly — even though individuals could be carrying the virus without symptoms.
The guidance applies only to nursing homes — just one-third of the long-term-care facilities across the state — and not to the approximately 1,200 personal care homes and assisted living facilities that house more than 40,000 Pennsylvanians.
"What we heard from the governor and from the secretary of health was that the plan would be much more radical and much more universal," said Karen Buck, executive director of SeniorLAW Center, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit that provides legal services and advocacy for older Pennsylvanians. "And what we're seeing now is not that.
"This is very far short of universal testing and very far short of what is needed now," she said.

Since the arrival of the coronavirus, nursing homes in Pennsylvania have been left largely to fend for themselves. State officials suspended nearly all inspections, visitors were barred, and the Health Department has not yet released a list of cases and deaths by facility. In the absence of more information, family members are struggling to understand how or if their loved ones are protected.
A Spotlight PA investigation published this month found the state had an early plan to protect nursing homes, using strike teams of medical professionals that could visit as soon as cases were detected and improve infection prevention, staffing plans, and more. But it was never fully implemented.
Today, long-term-care facilities have become the epicenter of the state's pandemic. As of Monday, more than 13,000 COVID-19 cases had been reported across 561 nursing homes and personal care homes. More than 3,000 residents have died, accounting for nearly 70% of the state's coronavirus deaths.
The issue came to a head two weeks ago, when senators held a hearing to press the Wolf administration on its lack of action, including the failure to implement widespread testing. At the time, Levine said testing all nursing home staff and residents was unrealistic due to a lack of supplies and the inaccuracy of tests, and that only people with symptoms needed to be tested.
Five days later, the administration changed course and announced what it called a "universal testing" plan.
The plan, however, does not cover all residents in all homes, and unlike those being implemented in neighboring states, it is not mandatory. Maryland was among the first states to mandate testing for nursing homes in late April, though logistical challenges have slowed the process. West Virginia completed testing all nursing homes in early May, using public health officials and the National Guard. New Jersey has set a deadline of next Tuesday for facilities to test all residents and staff, and in New York, nursing homes that don't comply with universal testing could face fines and loss of licensure.
Pennsylvania's Department of Health is helping nursing homes acquire testing swabs and contract with labs independently, spokesperson Nate Wardle said. For those that are unable to do so, the state is distributing 20,000 test swabs from the federal government and processing tests for free at the state lab in Exton. That lab can complete 750 tests a day.
Health officials are also working with the Department of Human Services, which licenses personal care homes and assisted living facilities, to develop testing guidance specific to those facilities, Wardle said.
"The department is committed to testing all residents and staff at long-term-care facilities," Wardle said. "We are working to assist facilities in need, and we believe that facilities will do the right thing to protect the health and well-being of their residents."
But advocates, family members, and lawmakers say they've seen time and again that guidance without enforcement is not enough.
Sen. Katie Muth (D., Montgomery) pointed to the Southeastern Veterans' Center in Chester County, where officials concealed the extent of an outbreak even as the death toll nearly tripled over a five-day stretch in April. She's asked the Attorney General's Office to investigate the center after learning that protocols on infection prevention and the use of personal protective gear were ignored.
"The lack of enforcement really results in a loss of life and further spread of disease," Muth said, adding that testing guidelines are only useful if they're enforced.
Victoria Mckenzie started asking administrators at her father's personal care home in Montgomery County about widespread testing and the staff's use of personal protective equipment in mid-March. Isolated in New York City after contracting COVID-19 herself, Mckenzie wanted to ensure her 84-year-old father with Alzheimer's disease would be safe.

In repeated emails and phone calls, the facility, Wyncote Place, and its parent company, Enlivant, gave varying reasons for not testing staff or residents — from the fact that testing required a physician's order, to the false idea that the Health Department controls all testing. The policy remained the same even after major outbreaks occurred at other Enlivant homes in Georgia and Nebraska.
"I don't feel that this corporation will do anything they don't have to do," Mckenzie said.
On May 9, Mckenzie received a call that her father had a fever and cough, and several other residents had similar symptoms. Five days later he was rushed to the hospital. On Monday, he died.
In a statement, Wyncote Place said it follows testing guidance from local health departments as well as each resident's physician and is in compliance with all regulations. It also claimed assisted living facilities are distinct from long-term-care facilities, although that is not true in Pennsylvania.
Diane Menio, executive director of the Center for Advocacy for the Rights and Interests of the Elderly, said some facilities may not want to increase testing because they're unprepared to handle the results. Facilities with fewer resources or space may struggle to separate residents who test positive from those without the virus, and a high number of staffers testing positive could exacerbate staffing shortages.
That's where state support and enforcement become crucial, Menio said.
"Universal testing for all staff and residents should be mandatory," she said. "This current guidance gives facilities an out."
Facility owners say it's not a lack of will, but a lack of resources that makes widespread testing challenging.
Homestead Village in Lancaster has about 100 residents across its nursing home and personal care units, and 100 staff who care for them, said facility president Douglas Motter. For the last eight weeks, the community has been testing any staff or residents with symptoms. About 60 individuals have tested positive so far, 14 residents have died, and 20 residents have recovered.
Motter said he hopes to implement the new guidance on expanded testing this week, but that will require a surge in capacity.
"We'll have to create our own testing site and use our nursing staff, who are balancing other duties," he said.
Morningstar Living in the Lehigh Valley has preordered a machine that will allow it to run rapid tests on its own, said Alice Donlan, assistant nursing home administrator. But the machine won't arrive for six weeks. Until then, the facility will rely on a lab that processes results in one to three days.
Several providers said they were unsure when they were supposed to implement the new guidance and if it required them to test personal-care home residents. Many said it makes little sense to expand testing in nursing homes alone when various levels of care typically coexist on the same campus, and the virus can spread quickly in any congregate setting.
There's a question of cost, too. Although Medicare and private insurance cover the cost of testing residents, many staffers are uninsured. The Pennsylvania Health Care Association, which represents more than 400 long-term-care facilities, estimates the bill for testing nursing home staff alone could run upward of $5 million.
The association is calling for testing to be mandatory and for the state to help cover the cost.
"If it were mandated, I think we'd have more details and there'd be a stricter plan in place from the state," said Zach Shamberg, president and CEO of the association.
LeadingAge PA, an association of more than 300 nonprofit facilities, said it would not support required testing in nursing homes until the state provides adequate testing supplies, staffing support, and funding.
The Wolf administration on Monday said providers can seek reimbursement from the federal government for COVID-19 tests and care administered to people who are uninsured. The state Senate also recently passed a bill to allocate $507 million from federal coronavirus funding to support long-term-care facilities. If approved by the House and signed by Wolf, those funds could cover testing.
Levine, the health secretary, said last week the state would help nursing homes with testing using mobile units run by the National Guard. A spokesperson, however, said the National Guard was made aware of the need for mobile units around the time of the announcement, and it's unclear when they will be operational.
Sen. Daniel Laughlin (R., Erie), who has been pushing for widespread testing since late April, said there's no more time to wait.
"The Department of Health needs to step in and say, 'Given the circumstances, this is what we need to do to keep residents safe,'" Laughlin said. "If you don't mandate it, there won't be enough compliance to truly knock down this mortality rate."

Every company of any size has a dedicated rider support manager; this person is tasked with picking a select group of riders to represent the products of the company they work for. As a rider support manager for one of the bigger companies in the industry I'm going to share my thoughts on resume season (although I'm not going to tell you my name or the company I work for).
Think about it. In a three-month period I handle over 5000 paper and electronic resumes. In those three month, if I manage to dedicate half my working hours to looking at resumes, that gives me just three minutes per resume (and when you subtract the minute or so that it takes to enter the data in the computer that leaves the applicant with slightly over 60 seconds to get his message across to me).
Before I tell you what a rider support manager wants to see, let me tell you what a support manger doesn't want to.
(1) We don't want to know about the sport of motocross. We have that covered. It's what we do. It's our life.
(2) We don't want to know how many people of what age and demographic watch Supercross on TV. Plus, if you are one TV, then we already know who you are. If you aren't on TV, don't try to make us think that you are.
Let's get to the gist of it. Assuming you have clearly listed your name, address, phone number and email address at the top of page one, you are off to a good start. Just based on these facts, I will most likely make you an offer of support based purely on the fact know who you are. Next, I will scan down the resume to see what brand of bike you race. This is important as I need to know if my company has products for you to use.
The most interesting part of every resume is your racing results. Not only am I looking at what class you race and how well you do, but also how consistent your racing program is. If I'm going to offer a spot to you I'm going to want to get bang for my buck; meaning track time. If you race three times a year, I'm not interested. If I am going to invest in you, you need to be at the track showing off my product every week.
As for the results — For each result you list, I want to know the date, the track, the class you raced (don't lie or be vague) and your overall finish in each class. I don't need to know who was in the class or any excuses. I just want an honest idea of the level of rider you are and be able to quickly search my database of results to validate what you claim. Believe it or not, if you list it, I can probably find it. Don't lie to me.
(1) A list of all the sponsors you currently have.
(2) A photo of you riding and a photo of you sitting on your bike. Why do want these two additional bits of info? Simple. If you list Thor as a sponsor and send me a photo of a bike festooned with Fox stickers (or you're wearing Fox gear) then I have a pretty good idea of your idea of sponsorship? I use the sponsor list you provide and the pictures you send to judge how seriously you take sponsorship.
Once the resumes are all reviewed and my support program is full, I will contact each accepted rider and make him an offered for varying levels of support. The only people I can't make an offer to are the ones in the loser pile.

Spain was an early European epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic, becoming the first western European country to record over half a million COVID-19 cases in September 2020. This figure now stands at over 3.7 million cases. However, with cases in decline and half of the Spanish population having received a coronavirus vaccine, there appears to be cause for optimism in Spain.
Indeed, the latest research conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies finds that 72% of Spaniards believe the worst of the pandemic is behind them, up from 45% in November 2020 and 24% in August 2020. Just 19% of respondents believe the worst of the pandemic is yet to come, a substantial decrease from 37% in November and 60% in August, showing there has been an uptick in optimism about the pandemic approaching its end.
Mirroring results we found in August of last year, Spaniards who voted for right-wing parties Vox (29%) and the People's Party (23%) in the 2019 General Election are the most likely to think the worst of the pandemic is yet to come, as are 25-to-34-year-olds (26%) in comparison to other age groups.
Further confirming this more positive outlook for the future, while 47% of respondents in November disagreed that the coronavirus crisis would likely be over this time next year, 49% now agree that the pandemic will likely be over this time next year. The introduction of coronavirus vaccines is likely a main factor in this change of opinion since November—though a quarter (23%) of Spaniards continue to disagree that the pandemic is likely to be over this time next year, and 22% neither agree nor disagree.
In this optimistic atmosphere, the Spanish public is also feeling far safer going about their daily lives than they were in November: 82% say they would feel safe shopping for clothes and such items (up 41%), 52% say they would feel safe eating at a restaurant or drinking at a pub inside (up 28%), and 51% say they would feel safe greeting a friend with a handshake (up 29%).
Slight majorities still report that they would feel unsafe going to the gym (51%), using public transport (53%), or traveling to another country (57%), but these figures have also decreased by between 17 and 24 points since November.
Once again, the increased feelings of safety our research reveals are likely in large part attributable to the rollout of coronavirus vaccines in Spain. Despite a slow start, vaccine administration has ramped up in the country, which may account for why two-thirds (65%) of respondents say they are satisfied with Spain's vaccination programme so far, while the remaining third (35%) is not satisfied.
Interestingly, though 18-to-24-year-olds are the least likely to have received a coronavirus vaccine yet, this age group sees the greatest proportion (70%) of respondents saying they are satisfied with Spain's vaccination programme. 35-to-44-year-olds, meanwhile, are the least satisfied, at 60%.
Satisfaction with Spain's vaccination programme varies significantly with respondents' 2019 General Election vote, pointing to an element of partisan bias in responses. As such, a large majority of voters of the political parties currently governing, the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (80%) and Podemos (75%), say they are satisfied with the vaccination programme, compared to 57% of the People's Party voters and 46% of Vox voters.
Although most Spaniards express satisfaction with their country's vaccine rollout, views on how their Government has managed the pandemic overall are much less favourable. 65% of respondents believe the Spanish Government has not handled the coronavirus crisis well, a figure that is considerably greater when compared to the proportions of Germans (50%) and Italians (46%) who also think their governments have not handled the crisis well. Meanwhile, 28% of Spaniards say the Spanish Government has handled the pandemic well.
Unlike in previous questions, opinions on this matter have not changed since November 2020, when 66% also thought the Government had not handled the crisis well. Consequently, it seems that the vaccination rollout has not changed Spaniards' minds on their Government's response to the pandemic.
This frustration with the Government's management of the coronavirus crisis may have had an adverse impact on the Spanish public's views of their Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE). Our research finds that 51% of Spaniards disapprove of Pedro Sánchez's overall performance since he became Prime Minister of Spain, whereas 27% approve and 19% neither approve nor disapprove.
Disapproval of the current Prime Minister is widespread across all age groups but one: just 28% of 18-to-24-year-olds disapprove of Pedro Sánchez's performance as Prime Minister, while most of the age group approves (36%) or neither approves nor disapproves (32%) of his performance.
Pedro Sánchez enjoys the approval of half of Spaniards who voted for his PSOE (52%) or his Government's coalition partner, Podemos (50%), while a considerable fifth of PSOE (21%) and Podemos (22%) voters disapprove. Meanwhile, disapproval among voters of the People's Party (78%) and Vox (88%) is immense.
In this context of significant disapproval, 53% believe the current Government of Spain is incompetent, a substantially greater proportion than those who believe the Government is competent (20%). In addition, a further quarter (24%) think the current Government is neither competent nor incompetent.
As society and the economy continue to inch towards normality in Spain, our research appears to identify three distinct moods among the Spanish public: optimism about the end of the pandemic, satisfaction with their country's vaccination programme, and disapproval of their current Government. While the perceptions that the worst of the pandemic is over and that the vaccination programme is going well are undoubtedly welcome developments for Spaniards, the discontent with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez could spell trouble for him and his coalition Government going forward, particularly given the fervent opposition from right-leaning voters.

Numerous Florida schools and colleges close before the arrival of Hurricane Ian.
When it became clear how terrible the hurricane would be once it made landfall in Cuba, notifications that received throughout Monday and Tuesday sent students and faculty into a frenzy.

Locking the Doors and the Hatches.
Hurricane Ian and similar catastrophes are terrifying.
A wave of colleges and institutions cancelled classes, shut down campuses, and ordered residents out of residence halls as Hurricane Ian made landfall on Florida's west coast on Tuesday, forcing thousands of people to flee.
Students and faculty were in a panic due to the notifications that came throughout Monday and Tuesday when it became evident how severe the hurricane would be after it made landfall in Cuba.
In order to prepare for the hurricane, which was forecast to strengthen to a category four before making landfall in the Sunshine State on Tuesday, 31 public colleges and dozens of private colleges, including the University of Florida, Florida A&M University, and the College of Central Florida, announced they would close their campuses for parts of this week.
As the fall semester begins, campus preparation for storms has changed routines. The homecoming week at Florida State University has been postponed until the following year. Boxed meals will be provided to students still on campus in place of Florida A&M's planned closure of its dining halls and retail establishments.
By Tuesday night, all students had been bussed off school, and the University of Tampa, which was in Ian's anticipated course, had boarded up its windows and appeared to be a ghost town.
Numerous families and students were affected by the closures, including some who lived in the Tampa area and were instructed to leave before the area received its first direct hurricane strike in a century.
According to district officials and the Florida Education Department, at least 17 Florida school districts have already closed their doors as of Tuesday, and at least 30 more were planning to do the same later this week.
The State College of Florida was one of the ten Florida universities that shut down campuses as of Tuesday. According to the state Education Department, at least eight more closures are anticipated this week.
Some organisations, like the University of Central Florida, have suspended all events but have kept their residence halls open so that students can stay on campus during the hurricane. Others, including Rollins College in Winter Park, made the choice to close resident halls and order students to leave campus on Wednesday with "the utmost gravity," according to the college administration.
Students looking for alternatives are unable to go home. They will be directed to a nearby shelter at Rollins until it is considered safe to go back to the campus.
"Students submit to us their hurricane evacuation plans, which include the location of their storm shelters. In an email to Inside Higher Ed, Lauren Bradley, Rollins' associate vice president for communications, said, "We provide transportation to a local shelter for those students who need shelter.
Since the timing of students' return to campus will depend on how much damage has been done since the hurricane, we have not yet stated when they should do so.
According to state Education Department officials, nine state universities have closures planned for this week, five of which have already cancelled classes as of Tuesday. These universities include Florida A&M University and the Tallahassee and Panama City campuses of Florida State University.
Schools in Tampa's Hillsborough County Public Schools were closed on Monday. District representatives announced that they will remain closed at least until Thursday. The largest district in the state, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, announced that it would begin closing on Wednesday.
Hillsborough County Public Schools Superintendent Addison Davis said that schools in Tampa have food and other supplies stored away in case of a disaster and would act as shelters. District officials reported that families were being transported to shelters by Hillsborough school buses.
A letter to families said. After-school events and field trips were postponed on Tuesday, according to representatives of Broward County Public Schools, even though lessons continued as usual. On Wednesday, the second-largest school district in the state planned to close all of its facilities.
Broward Superintendent Vickie Cartwright stated that the district was collaborating closely with emergency personnel and advised families to use caution. She addressed the group on camera, pleading with them to be careful.
Glynn County Institutions, whose campuses were scheduled to be closed on Thursday and Friday, was one of the Georgia schools that had planned closures in advance of the storm, according to district officials.
Students in the state are debating whether to hunker down on campus or take the chance of driving home in the escalating wind and heavy rain, typically after consulting with their parents, regardless of whether schools keep the dorms open or not.
Kapucu, a professor of public administration and policy at the University of Central Florida, said the university had a "strong emergency management programme" in part because of a federal grant it obtained in 2009 to increase its disaster resilience for more than half a million dollars. According to Kapucu, the grant made UCF "the first campus in the country with a fully staffed Emergency Operation Center that is storm-ready."
According to Kapucu, "I can definitely state that the university is properly equipped for hurricanes and other potential natural catastrophes and risks." As one of the biggest campuses in the United States, "[I'm] pleased to see the university take [the] possible impact of disasters seriously."
Several of the establishments in Ian's path have already survived powerful hurricanes, including Hurricane Irma in 2017. Some places, including Tampa's University of South Florida, have not yet been hit by a significant hurricane. Even institutions that haven't historically been at risk from hurricane surges may need to make preparations for increasingly severe and frequent disasters as a result of climate change, according to Verchick.
"That implies more structures atop piles in coastal areas; it may also mean more universities striving toward energy independence, so they don't have to rely on power lines that might fail in an emergency," he said. Without a doubt, the era of basement-based special library collections is coming to an end.
The effects of hurricanes are nothing new to Verchick. He relocated to Louisiana for a faculty position at Loyola University New Orleans just nine months before Hurricane Katrina struck in August 2005; the law school there, where he has since taught, was one of the first higher education programmes in the city to resume that fall after the storm, moving in-person classes to Houston.
Verchick decided to make a career out of researching climate resiliency after seeing the devastation caused by Katrina firsthand. He said that resilience and flexibility are practically interchangeable terms for both public infrastructure and college campuses.
"One thing we now understand is that historical weather and climate trends do not necessarily predict what they will be in the future. We are aware of the general trend, which is upward: sea levels are rising; the climate is warming, and hurricanes are becoming more bizarre. We truly don't know a lot of things, he added.
Verchick noted that because schools and institutions across the nation function like formally structured communities, resilience planning is especially crucial for them regardless of the hazards, which might include hurricanes, earthquakes, or tornadoes.
They are significant employers with concerns about worker safety, landlords with concerns about property value, and businesses that lose money when they are closed, he said. "Many campuses resemble tiny cities in many ways."
According to Kapucu, while most institutions have mostly concentrated on short-term preparation, it is increasingly vital to building long-term strategies to prepare campuses for climatic disasters like mega storms.
"We notice that rapid disaster response is given higher priority than long-term rehabilitation and resilience building. For instance, a response to one crisis could not be [an] successful response to another," noted Kapucu. Therefore, it is essential to establish long-term investments (resilience capacity, resilience building) in preparing campus communities for a variety of disasters.
Verchick argued that long-term planning should incorporate techniques for fostering communal cooperation in the face of peril.
Universities have a unique ability to teach students valuable social skills, according to Verchick. "This is an opportunity for learning." One lesson for the future will be community resilience, which entails knowing in advance what your vulnerabilities and needs are as well as what the vulnerabilities and needs of those around you are, and being able to plan and act with those things in mind and take care of one another.
Hurricane Ian and similar catastrophes are terrifying, he continued. However, they are also opportunities for universities to provide an example of what community resilience may look like.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a lethal childhood disorder which results in progressive muscle weakness and wasting due to genetic abnormalities in the dystrophin gene. While the primary abnormality lies with the loss of the crucial membrane cytoskeletal protein dystrophin and the reduction of its associated glycoprotein complex, secondary alterations in cellular signalling, ion homeostasis regulation and metabolic pathways lead to fiber degeneration and subsequent fibrosis. These changes result in loss of ambulation and sufferers being wheelchair bound in early adulthood. Severe diaphragm and cardiac complications in later life tend to be fatal. The aim of this project was to create a detailed proteomic profile of differentially affected dystrophic tissues using the mdx mouse model; from severely dystrophic diaphragm; moderately affected hind limb to naturally protected interosseus muscle were used to investigate the pathogenesis of the disease. Proteomic analysis of the muscle subtypes indicated that skeletal muscles are differentially affected by the absence of dystrophin protein. Naturally protected interosseus exhibited very little histological and proteomic changes. In contrast to the moderately affected mdx hind limb muscles, the dystrophic diaphragm exhibits severe symptoms of skeletal muscle fiber degeneration that more closely resembles that of the neuromuscular pathology exhibited in Duchenne patients than any other muscle. Novel molecular insights into dystrophic changes suggest increased cellular stress, impaired calcium buffering, cytostructural alterations and disturbances of mitochondrial metabolism in dystrophin-deficient muscle tissue. Thus, the absence of the dystrophin isoform Dp427 and resulting reduction in dystrophin-associated glycoproteins in the dystrophic sarcolemma seems to trigger a variety of secondary abnormalities in muscular dystrophy. This work has successfully established a detailed biomarker signature that maybe used to evaluate new treatments, improve understanding of the pathobiochemical process and supports the use of mdx mouse as a suitable model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
