Solon calls for unified nat'l contact tracing protocol

#PHnews: Solon calls for unified nat'l contact tracing protocol

MANILA – A resolution calling for a unified national contact tracing protocol to ensure a more effective health emergency data monitoring system in the country has been filed at the House of Representatives.

Speaker Lord Allan Velasco filed on Feb. 2 House Resolution No. 1536, which proposes a unified national contact tracing protocol that includes the designation of a government agency or body as the centralized repository of information to facilitate a faster health emergency response system.

The resolution states that the protocol should also include a secure, encrypted transmission of data, a unified data procedure for solution providers; compliance with Republic Act 10173 or the Data Privacy Act of 2012 in the handling of data; and the provision of real-time data access to accredited contact tracing app providers.

Velasco stressed the need to strengthen the government’s contact tracing efforts using the most effective and safest system to further boost its response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Contact Tracing is a public health strategy to dramatically decrease the impact of an epidemic or pandemic that has been used for years to combat communicable diseases such as the Ebola outbreak in 2014, and the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003,” Velasco said.

He cited that the Philippines is only able to identify at least seven contacts per coronavirus-infected person when the ideal contact tracing ratio should be 1:37 for urban areas, and 1:30 for rural communities.

In November last year, Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) Resolution No. 85 prescribed the use of StaySafe.PH platform as the official Covid-19 management and monitoring app for government offices and LGUs.

However, some sectors, including tourism industry participants, prefer SafePass over StaySafe.PH.

Velasco said the disparate apps and non-centralized data repository led to redundant products, cost duplication, and less effective solutions often due to limited data access.

He said the data systems should include automated reports to aid in monitoring progress and outcomes of case investigation and contact tracing.

“It is observed that there is poor interconnection and data sharing between solution providers and the central data base maintained by the Department of Health,” Velasco said.

He also noted that data sharing agreements between local and national jurisdictions need to be established or augmented to ensure timely and accurate data collection and sharing.

“Some sectors have also expressed concern on unknown and unverified data privacy practices of various solution providers, including non-compliance with the data privacy law,” he said.

Velasco said existing systems should be modified and new user-friendly data interfaces should be developed to manage multiple data streams with seamless interoperability. (PNA)

★ The Decade Power: Salman Khan, the emperor who ruled the box-office like no-one else!

Jan 10, 2020

This decade saw the rise and fall of the biggest stalwarts from the industry. While a lot has been spoken about the star-power of the actors, here’s a series that analyses in-depth the strengths and weaknesses of the top 10 Bollywood stars, and ranks them based on their performance this decade taking into account factors like magnitude of success, opening day collections, consistency, potential, awareness, and loyal fanfollowing. The one who scores high on all the fronts will be crowned the STAR OF THIS DECADE.

Number 1 on the list is Salman Khan and here’s a report card at how he fared between 2010 and 2019.

2010-2015:

After a not-so-good run from 2000 to 2009, Salman Khan kicked-off the last decade with his ambitious project, Veer, which though took a decent start at the box-office couldn’t do wonders due to the below par word of mouth. What happened post Veer is probably one of the biggest turn around in the history of Indian Cinema, as his stardom scaled new heights with Abhinav Kashyap’s Dabangg, which presented him as the badass Robin Hood cop. The film took a record opening, and continued to set new records in terms of single day collections over the weekend and proved to be second highest grossing film of all time back then. Without any ado, it was a blockbuster. While a lot thought of it as a fluke considering his past record, Salman followed it up with Ready – a record non-holiday opener as well as grosser, Bodyguard– the first Hindi film to breach past the Rs. 20 crore mark on a single day, Ek Tha Tiger– the first film to go pas the Rs. 30 crore mark on a single day and Dabangg 2 – record non-holiday opener.

All the five films proved to be blockbusters of epic proportions, and Salman Khan became the only star in the history of Bollywood to deliver 5 consecutive blockbusters, that too in a limited span of merely 3 years. In the times when all his contemporaries (barring Aamir) were struggling to even touch the Rs. 75 crore mark, Salman delivered the Rs. 100 crore grossers with ease. And back then, the Rs. 100 crore club wasn’t as redundant as it is today. It was sheer RAW stardom that enabled the film to take record starts as well as pose humongous lifetime totals. After 5 back to back blockbusters, he came up with brother, Sohail Khan’s Jai Ho. The film opened in January with day one figures of Rs. 16.50 crore despite the tacky production values and not so accepted songs, it breached past the Rs. 100 crore mark in 2013. It was termed an underperformer and an average grosser at the box-office, again in the times when most of the actors, Rs. 100 crore was a mark of success. In terms of box-office, what Siddhant Chaturvedi said for nepotism stays true for Salman in terms of collections – “Jahaan Baakiyo Ke Sapne Pure Hote Hai, Waha Salman Ka Struggle Shuru Hota Hai,” as what was a mark of success for others, was termed an underperformed for Salman and the struggle for the hit mark began post that number.

Post Jai Ho, he got back in form again with Kick, which proved to be a blockbuster and also the first Salman Khan film to enter the Rs. 200 crore club at the box-office. Kick was followed by the landmark film of his career, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which defied all laws and breezed past the Rs. 100, 200 and 300 crore club. Bajrangi Bhaijaan was the seventh blockbuster for Salman in his last 8 releases.  And that’s a count more than the combined blockbusters taken together of some of his contemporaries. Bajrangi Bhaijaan was followed by Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, which holds the record of getting maximum audience on board in terms of footfalls on a single day. The film managed earn a little above the Rs. 200 crore mark, but yet underperformed viz-a-viz the expectations, as trade expected it to go past the Rs. 300 crore club. None the less, it was a hit. Salman ended the first half of decade with 10 films, of which 7 were blockbusters, 1 was a hit, 1 average and one below average grosser.

2010: Rs. 186.53 crore

2011: Rs. 268.64 crore

2012: Rs. 353.78 crore

2013:

2014: Rs. 347.85 crore

2015: Rs. 530.50 crore

2016 – 2019

Riding on a high, Salman continued his domination in 2016 as well with Ali Abbas Zafar’s Sultan. The hype surrounding the film was at another level as it featured Salman Khan as a wrestler and backed by chartbuster music. It became the first and only Hindi film to rake in over Rs. 30 crore for five consecutive days and earned over 180 crore within its extended opening weekend. 4 years since then and record till date stands unchallenged.  It was a blockbuster, 8th for Salman this decade. The follow up to this was Tubelight, a film that was far away from what Salman has done this decade. It appealed to the multiplex audience, and took a reasonable opening of Rs 20 crore plus on a pre-Eid Friday. Salman’s presence also got the masses on board, but the end product was disappointing and so were the lifetime collections around the Rs. 120 crore mark. But then, the Tiger returned as Salman got back to his home turf with Tiger Zinda Hai, a massive Rs. 340 crore blockbuster, thereby being the 9th for him this decade. If one goes down the history, this would probably be the highest that any star has delivered in a span of 10 years. The stage was set for him to become the first actor to have 10 blockbusters in a decade, but the route after Tiger Zinda Hai was a bit hazy and an opportunity missed.

Race 3 was probably the biggest mistake of his career this decade wherein he took the audience on a ride by sleepwalking through the film delivering a half-baked product. Despite horrendous reviews – from audience and critics alike – it did make the money with lifetime numbers around the Rs. 170 crore mark. But the film did tamper Salman’s goodwill as the word of mouth was horrible to say the least. This was followed by a noble attempt, Bharat, which went a little haywire due to the prolonged runtime, and stretched climax. The film, though a success, couldn’t scale the heights that previous two collaboration of Salman Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar did. This was followed by a formula film like Dabangg, which became his only film apart from Veer that wouldn’t touch the 1 crore footfall mark. Poetic ending we must say considering that in his decade of dominance, only his first and last release of the decade didn’t touch the Rs. 1 crore footfall mark.

2016: Rs. 300.45 crore

2017: Rs. 458.42 crore

2018: Rs. 166.40 crore

2019: Rs. 355.00 crore (expected)*

The number crunching analysis:

The numbers above speak for themselves as the RAW stardom that Salman displayed this decade is something everyone in the industry would just dream off. At the start of the decade, his merely presence took films to the blockbuster mark, however with times changing that isn’t enough and his films need to be backed by some substance. Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai showed us the potential that a good film with Salman has; while Bharat showed us his ability to take an average film to the Rs. 200 crore mark. On the flip side, Race 3 and Dabangg 3 showed us that his loyal audience has the spending power to take his bad films above the Rs. 100 crore mark. His has been the star of the decade, but there needs to be some sort of introspection soon before he loses this crown to someone else (read Akshay Kumar). In terms of audience pull, no one comes close to Salman at the moment, but the time isn’t far away when audience lose their trust and refrain from watching his film after being cheated multiple times. He missed out on collection Rs 3000 crore this decade by a whisker and little better planning towards the end would have ensured him to go past the number like a breeze. He missed out on it by Rs. 37 crore (approx.) and without the CAA protests, the gap would have been even narrower as Dabangg 3 lost approx. Rs. 15 to 20 crore from its lifetime due to the turbulences. His average collection per film is as good as Aamir Khan, who did half the number of films that Salman did and the total aggregate collection this decade is almost similar to Akshay, who did twice more the films that Salman did. He managed to strike a perfect balance between quality and quantity. A film more, or may be a little better content and Rs. 3000 crore would have been a history for him. None the less, a humongous feat.

Where does Salman go from here?

Well, we have a lot about the route that Salman should choose from hereon. The best way forward for him is to do films that have some sort of content for the audience rather than the Dabanggs and Races of the world, which ride solely on his screen presence. The audience is willing to see Salman in different avatar, and the fact that his non-formula film, Bharat earned more than Dabangg 3 and Race 3 reinstates the fact that Salman should do films in the commercial space, which should not necessarily be action.

A good drama, with him in the larger than life character like Pawan from Bajrangi Bhaijaan or even Bharat from Bharat, can do wonders with the audience. He has a massive pull among the family audience, and that’s a section that is eager to watch feel-good drama’s with larger than life cause. May be a film with Sooraj Barjatya or a reunion with Kabir Khan or Ali Abbas Zafar is the way forward. That aside, Salman has a terrific success rate in the comedy genre too, and if he comes across the right comedy script with an able director, he should just jump onto the opportunity and get it on one of the Diwali’s. A humble request to Salman is to understand the fact that the audience is willing to see him in good film, and that doesn’t necessarily have to be in the action genre. The “Bhai” image is cultivated in the last 10 years, but there is large section of audience for whom he is still the simple innocent “Prem”, and he still has the ability to make them smile and cry with the innocence.

A right film, with his stardom, can set the box-office on fire and history is full of examples. A little attention to the casting and music, backed by an interesting script in any space will get Salman back in the race. Here’s hoping to see him explore different space post Radhe.

Final summary at glance:

Total Collections: Rs. 2965 crore

Law of ‘in’-equivalent exchange

Let me open this note with grandiose: I AM A PROUD FRIEND!

Two of my best buddies will soon settle down (within a month or so) for good. The former actually had already told me about this emotionally-touching announcement ever since the early of this year, while the later just recently sent the mass-invitation via chat. Nevertheless, both do not alter nor tarnish the main message of their upcoming ceremony - a monumental moment of the lifetime which marks the starting point of leading someone’s life and being leaned in by the same person. InsyaAllah.

I wonder if I were at their position, the feeling could be indescribable by merely single adjective: It must have been the uncanny thousands feeling of joy, sad, awkward, calm, and many more that ultimately bring to an entire certainty of devotion.

Without being skeptical, I dedicate this one as a reminder for me that both friends have such an exceptional quality in their life, in which in one case or another affect the way I see the life through upgraded ‘lenses’.

The first one, the “wonder boy” from Garut has always been the subject of my admiration. No person in this world could not get attracted to him due to his ‘charm’. Not in the slightest exaggeration I try to uplift him - but he possesses this quality I named myself as the “wonder boy”. Wait, I have mentioned it already, yet the nickname was invented with special reasoning. This guy compiles almost the good things every woman would want: geek-smart-engineer (oh boy, he was one of the ‘culprit’ behind the unimaginable accomplishments 3 years ago), savvy-guitarist player (he has many collection of guitars at his home I tell you), socially-approachable & active (without a doubt, he juggled the responsibility as one of student union’s core member/ other roles + being welcome and accepting people), and many more which can be written endlessly if such request would be needed. 

Remember buddy you taught me one precious lesson which I internalize during our graduation ceremony in 2014: let the struggle and journey of life define you as person, instead of the opposite. Well, I do hope that you won’t have to spend the ’Lebaran - Eid Al-Fitr’ alone anymore in the near future just as you told me!

On the other side, I have a Balinese guy, the one who witnessed almost 90% my ups and downs during college till this time. Ever since I entered university on very first day until the rector rewarded us all with bronze medal of bachelor + certificate of graduation, I have never seen any guy as ironclad as him. Not in the meaning of stubborn or bigot but he has somehow this strong desire to fulfill something. And one notable thing that I saw - he did it without blabbering so much about his goal. He just. did it.

Finishing splendidly the study at one of university’s most challenging subject, GPA as high as skyscraper (clue: solidarity forever!) - checked

Bulking up body so that the appearance outclasses the famous shirtless CR7 - checked

Conquering the heart of his ‘once upon a time’ idol - checked

Spearheading the leadership of Ganesha’s great family, with addition of breaking the stereotype of member/ elitist - checked.

What else? Similarly to the previous one, I am keen to continuously elucidate the stories bit by bit - however, it does not change the meaning that you earned my respect till date. Your daily habit of saying “Apalah Rak, tjang hanyalah manusia yang bisa berusaha” has never lied - for every no one can be someone with sincere effort. Period.

Shame on me, considering that I could not attend your sacred and glorious event shortly. Yet. For both pals, it’s not that I am expecting that you would do the same when I were at your position. I truly wish you begin the new phase of life with wonderful and pure smiles - smiles which are even sweeter than what we used to laugh at when we teased each other back on our innocent days!

Banjarnegara, 2017

#NotInMyName: Indians protest against rise in mob violence

New Delhi (CNN)Braving monsoon rains, thousands of people across India took to the streets Wednesday night to protest against what they claim is a rise in mob violence aimed at minority groups.

Dubbed #NotInMyName, the coordinated demonstrations saw events held in more than 12 major Indian cities, including Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata.

The protests follow the high-profile killing of a Muslim teen in an allegedly Islamophobic attack in the state of Haryana, northern India, Friday.

The teenager's death is the latest in a string of violent mob attacks to have gripped India, with many alleging it is the country's minorities Muslims, lower-castes and Christians who are disproportionally targeted.

"The environment right now is not normal, after seeing all these incidents, I don't feel like anyone is safe," said Sibghatullah, who uses only one name, at the Delhi protest Wednesday. "If a crowd sees a man with a hat and a beard, they assume he's a terrorist."

Hinduism is India's dominant religion, according to census data, with 828 million followers or 80.5% of the population. Muslims make up 13%; Christians 2.3%.

Mounting anger

Protesters in Delhi said they were angered by the continued silence from the government. While Haryana's Chief Minister has spoken about Friday's incident, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has yet to comment.

"I'm here (to protest) against the silence of the state of not speaking about these cases of lynching and minority communities being targeted," said protestor Sabika Abbas.

The central protest saw hundreds gather in front of a stage to watch people recite poetry and to hear from family members of the victims.

"I'm in my sixties and I have never felt so strongly about any government in all my life, so there must be something radically wrong." said Lola Mathai, who was at the protest with her husband in Delhi. "It is Muslims, a few Christians and lower castes who are being targeted."

In March, Muslim residents of a village in Gujarat reportedly faced an attack by an angry mob from a neighboring village. In April, a Muslim farmer in Rajasthan was beaten to death by a mob after he purchased a cow for milk, according to reports. In May, two young Muslim men in Assam were killed allegedly on the suspicion that they were stealing cows.

"Hate crimes against Muslims, Dalits, and marginalized sections have increased," said Navaid Hamid, president of the All India Muslim Majlis e Mushawarat in Delhi, a decades-old umbrella group for Muslim institutions.

"My perception is the central government and the state governments are complicit with violence against minorities and other marginalized sections of society," said Hamid.

Wednesday night's protest comes just two days after Eid when Muslims across India wore black armbands to protest against the killings. Some at Wednesday's protest also wore black armbands.

It is difficult to pinpoint exactly how many crimes are being committed against Muslims. India's most recent crime statistics, which cover 2015, track only caste-based crimes.

But an investigation by the Hindustan Times that tracked "communal incidents" -- conflicts between Hindus and Muslims -- in India's most populous state Uttar Pradesh found a rise in incidents since Modi came to power in 2014.

Broad Coalition

The #NotInMyName protests have also drawn criticism among Hindu-hardliners who have objected to the characterization that the violence is being committed along religious lines.

At Wednesday's Delhi protest, such objections appeared lost on a mixed, largely multi-faith crowd.

"I'm here to fight for a nation...a secular nation where everybody is equal, whether it is a person of a particular caste, community or gender," said Anjana Srivastava, alongside her 13-year old daughter. "I think all three are now being challenged."

Ursila Ali agreed, "I'm here because I'm an Indian first and I feel like it's time for us to collectively get out of our hole. Maybe in fear of riots we have stayed low and stayed in our homes, (but) now people have been murdered ... It's just time."

[cheapest-usps-eddm]

Her lineage can be traced back to Morocco – a land where the East meets the West. She was born and bred in Canada. That explains why actor/dancer/singer Nora Fatehi’s charisma is global. She made her debut in the Bollywood film Roar: Tigers of the Sundarbans (2014) and gained popularity in Telugu cinema with item numbers in films like Temper and Kick 2. She’s also starred in Malayalam films, Double Barrel and Kayamkulam Kochunni. What won her massive fans are her sensuous and groovy item numbers in Bollywood like Manohari (Baahubali: The Beginning), Dilbar (Satyamev Jayate), O saki saki (Batla House), Kamariya (Stree) and Ek toh kam zindagani (Marjaavaan), besides her recent hit Garmi with Varun Dhawan in Street Dancer 3D.

But Nora’s not only about sizzling moves. With her sharp sensibilities, she enjoys a strong presence on social media (13.5 million followers on Instagram), where she urges her followers to be more aware, more humane – sometimes through quirky videos, sometimes through socially relevant posts. Looking forward to her next - Ajay Devgn’s Bhuj: The Pride of India – she gets chatting during lockdown…

You donated PPE kits to the government hospitals in the country. That was a great move... 

It’s a small gesture. I believe whatever little one can contribute matters in the bigger picture. It’s unfortunate that such essential resources are limited despite the fact that a lot of money has been collectively raised by people, throughout this lockdown. It seems it isn’t translating in the way it should. Basic medical supplies should never be a privilege. Rather it should be a right for all medical workers.

What lessons have you imbibed during this lockdown period? 

Well not that I didn’t believe in these lessons before. However, I had more time to appreciate a lot of things. That is not to take health, family and loved ones for granted. I can’t wait until I can start my own family one day and have my own beautiful kids. This lockdown also reminded me that a lot of things, I studied in school regarding our global, political and economic system along with the Global Agenda, are now unfolding. Strong political leaders in the past warned the world of many things, which were dismissed and laughed upon at that time. They were not joking. I’m grateful I had the opportunity to receive education and the ability to think critically, something many fail to do. Critical thinking is the need of the hour. There’s a massive change happening beyond what the media wants to show us. We must read and educate ourselves immediately.

We heard you lost someone close to you due to Covid-19. How did you deal with the loss?

One of my best friends’ father passed away. It was extremely difficult for me to see my friend go through such an experience. It was heart-breaking as he died on Eid. I decided not to celebrate out of respect as it was an emotional moment for all of us. Losing a parent is scary. To see your own friend struggle to get past it is humbling and emotionally exhausting. I thank God every day that we wake up alive and healthy and that our families are healthy too.

At present, every industry is facing salary cuts. will film artistes also accept such cuts? 

I’m sure there will be a lot of changes in our industry this year.

You recently became the most followed Moroccan artiste in the world. What keeps you so engaged social media game?

I’ve been particular about my social media since day one – even before entering the industry. I’m an extremely creative person. My social media pages, including my YouTube channel, are my gateways to project my creativity and talent to the audience. It’s my platform to make people laugh through my comedy, to show off new dance skills, while also educating people about world events and spreading awareness. I’m driven to entertain and showcase my talents. I always believed I didn’t need to wait for someone to give me a platform to showcase that. I should create a platform for myself. That’s why I work so diligently on social media. It’s a borderless world, where one reaches out to just about anyone in the globe. I’m blessed to have such a multicultural and diverse following.

How challenging has been your journey given the fact that you were an outsider?

Of course, it’s been challenging. However, I don’t dwell on that much. I keep it going. I keep pushing regardless. I believe in myself. I know the right people will always work with me. I feel thankful that I’m a celebrated artiste in India and in other parts of the world. It shows that it doesn’t matter where you are from. It’s the hard work, dedication, talent and earnestness that counts. It’s been a roller-coaster ride. I hope that inspires people. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

How would you like to be known - as a beautiful dancer or an actor?

Why should one be known for only one trait? Can’t I be known for both? While growing up, I was never considered a good dancer due to my lack of training. However, I worked on myself and became a good dancer. I still work on my dance every day because there’s so much to learn. An artiste can be multidimensional. One should be able to celebrate an artiste for his/her multiple skills. I will be known both as a great actor and dancer by the end of my journey for sure.

Your favourite Bollywood dance numbers…

It’s hard to choose. It would be all of Helen mam’s and Madhuri mam’s songs. Others would be Chikni chameli (Agneepath), Kala chashma (Baar Baar Dekho), Kamli (Dhoom 3) and of course all my songs.

Nora Fatehi’s success mantra

Don’t get distracted, focus on yourself and keep learning.

There’s always room for growth.

Don’t let people make you believe that you can only do one thing. 

Break the stereotypes. 

Be fierce and hungry.

Middle East Archive Task

The Middle East Archive Job is a crowd sourced digital image archive showcasing intimate household photos from the region over the last 100 years.

The archive showcases life in nations such as Syria and Iraq, as well as Arab diaspora communities abroad in areas such as South America.

The photographs inform unusual individual viewpoints from significant historic events such as World War One, the Armenian genocide in the early 1900’s, and the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.

It also provides a peek into what daily life over the last 100 years has appeared like in the Middle East, where people did regular things like got married, celebrated Christmas, and signed up with the Boy Scouts.

The creator of the job, Darah Ghanem, informed Expert that she hopes the archive will assist to reveal a side to the region that is frequently neglected by the mainstream media.

Check out Expert’s homepage for more stories.

The Middle East Archive project is an image archive committed to showcasing an alternative historic story of an area that is infamously misunderstood.

The archive currently exists in the type of a page on Instagram, where individuals throughout the region are motivated to send their own household photos, with captions detailing dates and the historical context of what the pictures reveal from the viewpoint of the member of the family who sent them.

The page presently has around 90 posts, with the very first uploaded just over a year ago, and has actually currently garnered a good deal of support according to the job’s creator Darah Ghanem.

Insider spoke with Ghanem, who started the task after realizing while maturing in the Middle East that her history was not readily availble in museums and text books, but concealed away inside travel suitcases in the type of family heirlooms and photo albums.

” I believe household histories are important, particularly for our region due to the fact that for so long our history has actually been written for us and not by us,” she informed Insider.

These are the stories that are mostly missing from the present history of region, which Ghanem hopes to highlight and make accessible to people around the world through the archive.

Battered but Resilient After China’s Crackdown

YARKAND, China — The winding, crowded lanes of old Yarkand, an ancient Silk Road town, preserve patterns of life that go back centuries.

On a recent morning, smoke wafted from sputtering grills of lamb and ovens lined with baking flatbread. Clangs rang from a coppersmith shaping bowls with a hammer. Twangs from a dutar, a two-stringed lute, floated from a store selling traditional musical instruments. In a dimly lit teahouse, old men in Muslim head caps murmured in conversation.

Sitting on the fringe of the Taklamakan Desert, Yarkand remains a cultural cradle for Uighurs, a mostly Muslim minority in China’s far western Xinjiang region. But their way of life is under intense pressure.

Up to a million or more Uighurs have been sent to indoctrination camps since 2017. Yarkand was decimated by these detentions.

In 2018, this city of approximately 200,000 people was effectively closed off to foreign journalists, with police checkpoints blocking entry by car. Since last year, though, the authorities in Xinjiang have eased up enough that we were allowed in.

Our visit revealed a town scarred by recent upheavals. Bulldozers are encroaching on houses in the old town, condemned as “slums,” to make way for new neighborhoods.

Yet the Uighurs there also appeared resilient. They hold onto customs woven from their history as farmers, merchants and Muslims living on the edge of deserts.

We arrived in Yarkand by a morning train from Hotan, a small city 175 miles to the southeast. After some negotiations and hushed phone calls, a police officer and a propaganda official who had hurried to the station allowed us to visit as long we agreed to be on a train that night to Kashgar, the next city on our journey to see how the Xinjiang region was changing.

A brief taxi ride took us to old Yarkand as stores and restaurants began to stir to life. We were watched constantly by plainclothes officers, and we limited conversations with residents to brief chats, for fear of bringing them trouble.

Yarkand still offers glimpses of its ancient splendors. The main lane in the old commercial area is dotted with the two-story homes of merchants, faded and cracked. Their wooden balustrades and plaster ceilings are decorated with swirling floral patterns, recalling Yarkand’s history as a stop on trade routes crisscrossing China, Central Asia and beyond.

Yarkand was the capital of an Islamic dynasty, the Yarkand Khanate, which lasted two centuries from 1514. Uighurs credit the Khanate with collecting and refining a revered set of musical performances, the Twelve Muqam. Tombs of the khans lie in a sprawling cemetery here.

On the chief shopping street, knots of women in bright dresses wandered into shops selling children’s clothes, or debated over sparkling trays of necklaces and rings at jewelry stalls. Portly stall holders laid out piles of dried dates and raisins, or sanzi, a snack of fried dough.

On this journey through southern Xinjiang, places we had visited in the depths of the crackdown in 2017 and 2018 seemed busier and more crowded now, suggesting that restrictions on residents had eased a bit.

Police checkpoints throughout towns and cities have become less stringent in the past year, and it is easier to move around. In the bazaars, more faces had the weather-hardened features of farmers, suggesting it was easier to travel from villages.

The reasons for these changes weren’t clear; officials have not offered explanations. The government may have felt more confident after detaining so many people. Or it may have felt it had to ease up a little because the restrictions were suffocating the local economy and tourism, and drawing international condemnation.

Even so, Yarkand remains girded by security. Protective metal grates encased many shops. Cooks’ cleavers were chained to benches, as police rules demand, to prevent potential stabbings.

The government hopes the security will bring back tourists, and Yarkand has converted a gracefully reconstructed palace of the Khans into a gaudy attraction, which doubles as a film and television set.

“Chinese culture, Chinese expression,” says a sign at the entrance to the building. Inside, visitors are greeted by a billboard portrait of Xi Jinping, the Communist Party leader, waving against a background showing modern apartment buildings.

Some signs of change in Yarkand since the crackdown are subtle. In a dusty park, six barbers wielded razors, scraping whiskers from men’s faces, occasionally grunting to a customer to stay still or tilt his head.

Not long ago, barbers were in less demand. Beginning in the 1990s, southern Xinjiang experienced an Islamic resurgence. More younger men wore Muslim skull caps and grew beards, while more women took to wearing the heavy headdresses and long dresses common in the Middle East to display their Islamic piety.

The government blamed this resurgence of religion for growing ethnic resistance and violence, including a clash in Yarkand in 2014, when Uighurs with axes and knives attacked a government office and police station and killed 37 people, according to government reports.

Now displays of Islamic faith have virtually all disappeared from Yarkand, and across all Xinjiang, in the wake of the mass detentions and a wave of prohibitions. Most women wore modest head scarves or none at all; only a few old men had beards. Mosques appeared closed or largely empty, even at prayer times. Observing Ramadan is officially discouraged. When we stopped outside the Juma Mosque, a man scurried out and shooed us away.

“Love the Party, Love the Country,” the banner above the entrance said. That message was repeated outside other Xinjiang mosques.

Not all traditions have disappeared.

Amid the rubble of a demolished lot, residents bought sheep for Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, called Corban by Uighurs. They stared intensely over the local variety of sheep with their extravagantly fat rumps and pried open their jaws to check their mouths. The sheep would be killed and shared for days of feasting.

Restaurants in old Yarkand were a hubbub of multigenerational families gathered around servings of noodles, samsa — baked pastry pockets of mince — and mutton soup. Signs on the restaurant walls repeated the government’s call for ethnic unity.

“All ethnic groups must bind together as tightly as pomegranate seeds,” said a sign seen in most stores.

In a basement-level cafe, Uighur women in their 20s in sunglasses, jeans and bright skirts chattered over sweet drinks. One woman sat beside a small, old man with a white beard, perhaps her grandfather, offering him spoonfuls of ice cream.

Members of China’s Han majority were an uncommon sight. Yarkand is over 90 percent Uighur, although Chinese culture and language are spreading. A young girl passed by on the back of an electric cycle, clutching a textbook for learning Chinese — the language at school for Uighur children now.

As we walked around, we wondered if passers-by might be former detainees of indoctrination camps or prisons. We watched young men absorbed in a streetside lucky draw game, shouting or grimacing at the results. We could only guess how many more men would have been around before the wave of detentions.

Government records from six villages in rural areas of Yarkand in 2018 showed nearly 16 percent of 3,249 adults listed were held in indoctrination camps, prisons or criminal detention centers, Adrian Zenz, a German researcher who has closely studied Xinjiang, said in a recent report.

Near the train station in Yarkand, one indoctrination camp appeared empty; the usual cordon of guards had gone. The government has said the camps across Xinjiang are shrinking. But other, bigger ones we tried to visit across southern Xinjiang were still under heavy guard, suggesting they stayed in operation.

Old Yarkand may not survive much longer.

“Take reform all the way,” said a slogan painted on gutted homes waiting to be pulled down.

Najeeba Hayat was born in London, raised in Kuwait, studied political science in Paris/Connecticut and footwear pattern-making in Milan. People always ask her if she’s really Kuwaiti even though she looks and speaks it. Najeeba tells us, “I think it’s because I don’t wear accessories or do my hair or carry a bag. They get confused. Kuwaiti girls wear tons of accessories.”

Najeeba started off with several internships working for the government in the statistics department and then for a private company on the Kuwait Development Plan. She was really good at the social sciences and was very excited about the opportunity. “I was willing to sacrifice my desire to escape and live abroad and to wear what I want for the benefit of the glorious nation” she tells us. After a situation that arose at work Najeeba realized that when people don’t want to change, or the system is wired to incentivize the status quo, you’re just bouncing a rubber ball against the wall. She definitely wasn’t about to waste her life! 

The story of Liudmila starts here: “I had a midlife crisis at 21 on a snowy day in Connecticut. I was in my 19th Century Russian Literature elective and a speech given by this character in the novel, Liudmila, really resonated with me. It was a simple speech lashing out against a society that censured her simple sensory impulses. I thought, “Oh Lord that’s me. I can’t be a management consultant. I too love perfume, bright colors and sensory delights. I would die!”

I got on Skype with my friend Taiba who was in Milan on an exchange program (and hating it) at the time and confessed my terrible predicament. I thought I knew my path in life and now I was lost. She suggested I meet her in Milan. I knew that’s what I was going to do. I immediately called my mother and told her I was going to Milan to study shoes. My mother thought i lost my mind.”

(Side note: Her friend still thinks Najeeba had lost her mind.)

The Liudmila girl is‘an escapist, wanderer and life-loving fantasist’.

The irrational love for footwear is something every girl can relate to; how was Liudmila born?

I am a self-confessed fashion addict, an obsession with shoes grew early on. My mother is a scientist and couldn’t care less about fashion, so I definitely didn’t get the bug from her. I would go to Villa Moda by myself every Eid and buy a pair of Prada or Miu footwear. I would sketch shoes on everything, on all of my textbooks, all of my assignments. I would think about shoes before going to sleep and then dream about them. My mother said that one day my mind was going to “turn into a shoe.” I loved all of fashion, all of the drama, all of the fantasy, the escape, the possibilities, however, shoes, oh they were extra-special to me; the lines and construction are able to convey emotion and drama so much more viscerally and simply than anything else. 

After I completed a brief internship in Milan with a terrible shoe brand, I left and started a campaign to wear down a former professor to give me the contact of a production manager. He refused me for seven straight months. I got together a really tight portfolio and kept up the pressure until he “decided I was ready.” My first collection was a nightmare to execute. The methods for producing my styles were so technically complicated I was afraid the factory would throw me out and refuse to work with me again. 

I started Liudmila in 2014 because I had a clear idea of what I wanted to do, how it could fit into the market and no one wanted to hire me for a design job because I was non-EU (too much paperwork) and I didn’t have a formal 4-year design degree. I wanted to make lower-heeled fantasy shoes. I loved wearing shoes and boots that were dramatic, a bit over the top, full of clashing textures and details that would change your look, your silhouette. I wanted shoes that were an emotive component of my outfit, that were genuinely special rather than just an add-on to the clothes. I couldn’t find enough of that in the market. With my mind full of Sailor Moon boots and Dickens characters, I started selling my own. 

A luxury shoe brand focusing exclusively on low and mid heels, Liudmila is premised in the belief that beauty should never come at the expense of function.

Why Italy?

Why not Italy? In fact, why are we not all in Italy? It’s the only place in the world where you live right. Italy has been famed for centuries for high standards of footwear production and skill. I required a high level of attention to detail and desire to innovate to make the shoes that I had designed. Italy was the only place I could imagine doing it. 

What inspires your creations?

Drama, murder, Dickens’ London, soot, detectives, skinny ankles, secrets, Sailor Moon, the witches in Macbeth, little feet, the average schoolgirl, Ottoman miniature paintings, crazy rich grandmothers in emeralds and ocelot coats driving minis! 

What is the inspiration behind LiudmilaTV? (We weren’t stalking we swear!)

My friend Jonah Ponzer and I were sitting in his studio in London one day and he asked me what my ultimate goal was, what my contribution to culture was going to be. I said that I wanted to be Oprah! I wanted to invite people with interesting points of view to speak about topics I cared about. We were also discussing how incredibly manufactured all the fashion content was on Instagram and that we wish someone would just record an actual conversation. Real life.

So, Jonah basically said that he had an epiphany and that I should do it, and that I need a giant news mic and I need to talk about the things I always talk about anyways, like the digital apocalypse, the death of fashion and environmental disaster. Light topics. I commissioned the mic from a prop artist friend of his and the rest I guess is… on my Instagram! 

Describe your personal style. How does it affect your designs?

I would never design something I couldn’t see myself wearing. My personal style is also very non-trendy and a little bit obnoxious. That impacts how I design. I don’t care what other people are doing. My “fashion magazines” are detective novels and fantasy fiction. 

If you’re not in Liudmila’s, what are you wearing? 

Shoes: Nike. I love running.
