Covid-19 Plan B update
Office workers who can work from home should do so from Monday 13 December. Anyone who cannot work from home should continue to go into work – for example, to access equipment necessary for their role or where their role must be completed in-person. In-person working will be necessary in some cases to continue the effective and accessible delivery of some public services and private industries.
We expect all education and childcare settings, including further and higher education providers, to continue to provide face-to-face teaching, and staff should continue to attend their place of work if required in order to deliver this. Teaching and learning should not be moved online as a result of the work from home guidance and we continue to expect higher education students (unless distance learners) to receive an element of face-to-face tuition. Therapists and wider children's service professionals should continue to be invited into education and childcare settings.
Education and childcare leaders are best placed to determine the workforce required to meet the needs of their children, pupils and students. Education and childcare leaders will need to consider whether it is possible for specific staff undertaking certain roles to work from home, while minimising disruption to face-to-face education and care.
Following expert clinical advice and the successful rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine programme, people previously considered to be particularly vulnerable, clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV), and high or higher-risk are not being advised to shield again.
Children and young people previously considered CEV should attend their setting and should follow the same COVID-19 guidance as the rest of the population. In some circumstances, a child or young person may have received personal advice from their specialist or clinician on additional precautions to take and they should continue to follow that advice.
We strongly encourage all those involved in education and childcare settings to continue regular testing (LFD not PCR) and reporting their results, and to encourage pupils and students in year 7 and above to test and report their results.
Settings are strongly encouraged to ask parents, guardians and other visitors to take a lateral flow device (LFD) test before entering the setting.
All individuals who have been identified as a close contact of a suspected or confirmed case of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, irrespective of vaccination status and age, will continue to be required to self-isolate and asked to book a PCR test.
The Government plans to introduce Daily Contact Testing as soon as possible as an alternative to self-isolation for contacts of positive Omicron cases who are fully vaccinated or under the age of 18 years and 6 months.
January return
We continue to learn more about the impacts of the Omicron variant. To prepare for any possible changes in public health advice, all education and childcare settings should now revisit their existing outbreak plans to ensure they are well prepared for any future changes and ensure they are familiar with the Contingency Framework Guidance

Kristina Loggia was born and raised in New York City. She graduated Sarah Lawrence College with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Over the next few years, she followed in the tradition of her family and studied acting at the Stella Adler Conservatory in New York City and in Los Angeles. In 1988, while at the Adler Conservatory she heard Ed Asner lecture passionately about the war in El Salvador. He inspired her to follow a childhood dream of being a war photographer. That spring she traveled to El Salvador as a photographer with the Witness to Peace Program. Her goal to capture truth through the lens of a camera rather than to portray it on a stage was solidified while in Salvador. Since then Kristina has continued to work as a photographer. Though marriage and children have kept her from the world's war zones she has continued to study life through photography. Her thirst for documentary photography has drawn her to create extensive photographic studies. Kristina's work has appeared in many magazines including TIME, SPIN, DETOUR, ESPN and FORTUNE. In addition, her work has been acquired by several personal art collectors.
Her work on the Apron Chronicles: A Patchwork of American Recollections began in 2001. In 2005 Kristina received first place (in the Magazine Portrait and Personality division) from the National Press Photographers of America for her image of Ada Ashford.

I'm beginning to detect a certain convention in the illustrations for patterns for western shirts. There will be three views; a workaday view, a plaid or checked view, and a fancy view.
Piping the extravagantly shaped yoke on this one is may result in the use of strong language. The fancy view includes some pretty complex applique as well as the deep shaped cuffs with all those little buttons.
The maker made plenty of notes to herself on the envelope, though I can't quite decipher them all. The transfers are missing, which is quite common.
I have this pattern but haven't gotten the chance to use it. (I should do so before the envelope turns to dust.) I was planning on making it out of a solid with a vintage Hawaiian print yoke for the Hawaiian Cowboy look.
And of course you'll blog about the shirt once you've finished it, right?
Is this pattern for sale?
None of the patterns on this site is for sale. Tracings are not available. This one shows up on eBay quite regularly.

Movie lovers have often testified of having some of their best moments after watching great movies that capture the lives of black people and the lost moments in the African-American community.
These films have contributed immensely, not only to the cinema but also to Black people, despite the challenges.
From 1895 when the first motion picture was released, it would take about 30 years for the first black person, Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry, to receive featured screen credit in a film. Then the likes of Hattie McDaniel followed, who would become the first black Oscar winner in 1939 before Sidney Poitier, who became the first black man to win that award.

But only a few blacks still had roles in films even after these achievements. When blacks featured in movies, they were portrayed as "stereotypical caricatures, never as serious individuals."
It would take years for films that fully explore African-Americans issues and themes to be introduced. This has, so far, led to some of the best black movies of all time, including horror, romantic comedies, and superhero movies.

To many people the Blower Door may seem like a new concept, however, they have been around for quite some time… close to 40 years in fact. The concept actually originated in Sweden1, but it wasn't until it started being used for research applications that it took the form as we know it today—a blower door. From that early research it began to be adapted for use in Energy Audits and Retrofitting—giving birth to the "Blower Door Industry" by the mid-eighties. While other technology giants2 were also being born in garages across the country, these early developments led to the formation of over 10 different manufacturers that eventually consolidated down to three by the mid-nineties3.
I wouldn't be surprised if we are about to see that 80's boom again as we are seeing more and more states across the country prioritizing and mandating air-sealing requirements.
In the early days, part of the need for these blower doors was driven by being able to develop weatherization programs and to prioritize air-sealing requirements. Today it has become so much more than that, especially when you combine it with all the other tools and resources that are available4. Due to its much greater levels of accessibility and affordability, the blower door is being used by a much wider range of tradesmen and craftsmen—who are rapidly becoming the building envelope specialists that the construction industry needs. As an industry, we know a lot more, have data to back it up (decades worth actually) and continue to learn and grow—further refining our ability to understand the needs of our occupants. Groups like the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) have even developed standards for defining appropriate leakage rates and even the comfort level of different spaces (ASHRAE Standard 55).
Gaskets are a great solution to solving one of the greatest leaks of all–the top plate.
Focus in high areas and in low areas of the building first because these are the areas that will generally yield the greatest impact when it comes to air-sealing5.
Holes, cracks and penetrations are a top priority—anytime you put a hole exposing the inside to the outside of the building… it needs to be properly sealed up.
Where different "things" come together, there is an opportunity for air leakage. Different things (like a foundation wall and a sill plate) don't move or expand and contract at the same rate (yes our buildings are moving…). They definitely don't provide the greatest seal by themselves either… this is why these areas are a critical part of any air-sealing strategy.
Even though we have a good idea of where to seal, its easy to miss opportunities. This is where the value of Blower-Door Assisted Air Sealing comes into play. You can use your blower door to literally see how your air-sealing efforts are working and when you combine it with infrared imaging you really have a valuable "insulation tool kit" on your hands to help illustrate and visualize the value you are bringing your clients with your air-sealing work.
Source: Building America report 1506, March 2015, K. Ueno and J. Lstiburek.
With these tools, we're able to identify cracks around windows and doors that must be effectively sealed. We can also provide a visualization of the thermal losses from the cracks and framing around the windows and doors. Now, more than ever, we are able to illustrate that affordable homes are built much tighter than this for little extra cost with profound improvements in energy bills, comfort and indoor air quality.
But remember, the blower door is really only the first step in addressing the air-leakage in a home or building. That being said, it is a critical first step because it guides you on where to focus your efforts. Much like a GPS or navigation systems guides you to your destination, a Blower Door guides its user on where they need to put their time, effort and money to create the most cost-effective building envelope. Today we are seeing a rapid growth in development of different solutions to meet these needs—from specialty gasketing solutions to spray-applied sealants and even hybrid systems that incorporate a combination of multiple products and solutions6. So keep building that Insulation Tool Kit and continue to guide this industry forward.
4. Infrared Imaging combined with a blower door is visually very powerful because it can clearly illustrate where leakages occur in a building.

Behemoths of the Universe: Hypergiant Stars
Jolene Creighton December 11th 2013
Hypergiant stars via NASA/Wikimedia
The universe is populated with a number of amazingly massive stars, many of which dwarf our own Sun. One of the most well known is VY Canis Majoris, which is one of the most sizable stars in the known universe (and was the largest known star for quite some time).
Lurking in the cosmos some 3,900 light-years from earth (about 22.8 quadrillion miles from our home), VY Canis Majoris is a mammoth. If this star were in the center of our solar system, it would extend far beyond the orbit of Saturn (so let's be glad that it's a few quadrillion miles away).
A comparison between the hypergiant, our sun and Earth's orbit. (Credit: WikiMedia)
To give you some hard figures, the circumference of our Sun is approximately 2.7 million miles (4.3 million km), while Canis Majoris is approximately 1.9 billion miles (3 billion km). Yes, that is billion. For a bit of a comparison, when circling around the Sun, light clocks in at about 14.58 seconds. However, it takes almost 8 hours for photons to travel around Canis Majoris.
Plan on circumnavigating this beast yourself? Maybe think again. Of course, it would take generations to reach this star. Using the speed of one of our fastest probes, NASA's New Horizons craft, it would take us well over 50 million years to get there.
But even if you were magically transported to Canis Majoris, a passenger airplane traveling along the surface at an average cruising speed of 559 mph (900km/h) would take over 1,100 years to complete one circuit. Which means that, if you started your trip around this star on the day that the Holy Roman Empire was founded (about 962 CE), you would have just recently finished your journey circumnavigating Canis Majoris.
Yet, similar trip around our own Sun would only take you 7 months (but in both cases, you likely wouldn't finish your journey…you'd probably die from eating the horrid airplane food much earlier).
Still not impressed? The amount of energy our Sun emits in a year is equal to what this hypergiant releases in the matter of seconds. But Canis Majoris isn't the only title weight champ in our galactic neighborhood…although it might be one of the largest, it isn't the heaviest.

Previously, the Pistol Star was the heaviest known stellar object. Measuring in at nearly 150 solar masses, and spanning some 4 light-years, the largest shell of expelled gas from the Pistol star is so big that it could stretch from our Sun to the tips of the next nearest star (Proxima Centauri, which is some 4.2 light-years away).
But with a mass that was once 320 times greater than the Sun's, R136a1 makes the Pistol look like a tiny speck.
Discovered early in July of 2010, R136a1 is one of the most massive known stars in our corner of the universe; it also has an extreme luminosity. Currently, the star measures nearly 265 solar masses. But when it was born , the star weighed as much as 320 times as much as the Sun.
So why the sudden change?
Heavy stars rapidly lose mass by converting it into energy. R136a1 has already lost 20% of its mass during its short life. And this star has had a very short life. Scientists estimate that it is only 1 to 2 million years old. The Sun, by comparison, has been burning for some 4.57 billion years, and it has only converted about 0.03 percent of its mass into energy during all of this time.
In cosmic terms, R136a1 is still a baby. But, sadly, its life is already drawing to a close. Scientists estimate that stars of this size live only 3 to 4 million years. For humans, such a life would be legendary beyond measure…but for stellar hypergiants like R136a1, it's barely a blip. Our Sun, on the other hand, is expected to live for at least another 5 billion years.
Sometimes, being the little guy is a very good thing.


Out-of-favor Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater has been charged with drink driving after his car was involved in a crash following a late night out.
The 29-year-old -- capped three times by England on the back of his pivotal role in Leicester's fairytale 2016 title victory -- was arrested early Monday morning after what police termed a "one-vehicle incident" on his way back to his home near Manchester following a charity event.
Drinkwater -- who unlike former Leicester City team-mate N'golo Kante failed to impose himself at Chelsea after a £35million ($45.7million) transfer in 2017 -- was released on unconditional bail ahead of a hearing at Stockport Magistrates' Court on May 13.
"It was a nasty crash," a source told The Sun newspaper.
Drinkwater, who has not played in a competitive match for Chelsea for over a year, was accompanied by a female lawyer in the car, according to the newspaper and both suffered minor injuries.
The unmarried father of one had been pictured exiting a fashionable London night club in the early hours of Friday morning with two women -- though he dutifully turned up for training later that day.

John Edwin Bradbury was the son of a former R.A.F. man who had married in France six months after the end of the First World War. John worked in the City before joining the army. He was appointed as an officer and saw action in Norway in 1940. He died in Iceland in January 1942 during a routine march. At the time his parents were living in Baddow Road, Chelmsford.
John was born in the Romford registration district in Essex in 1920, the only son of Edwin James Bradbury and a French woman Felicienne Bradbury (nee Descoins).
His parents had married in May 1919 in France. At the time his father was serving as Aircraftman 2nd Class 98877 in the Royal Air Force in Poses, Ireland. At the time his father was aged 24 and a turner by profession. His mother was six years younger.
John studied at Harlow College, obtained a job in the City of London.
John's grandather, James Bradbury, was a skilled engineer and inventor. When he died in 1939 a Chelmsford newspaper reported"
"Death of an Inventor.—Mr. James Bradbury, formerly of Braintree, and latterly of Sawbridgeworth, died in Hospital, following an operation, aged 73 years. Mr. Bradbury was the eldest son of the late Mr. Bradbury, manager of Messrs. Walters' Silk Factory at Braintree, and he was a very clever and ingenious engineer. When quite young Mr. James Bradbury turned his attention to invention. At the age of 17 he introduced a new spoke drill for cycle wheels, and this was patented for him by his father. Mr. James Bradbury started a cycle business at New Street, Braintree and added to it a business for the manufacture ot cycle tools, many of which he invented himself, and showed great ingenuity in them. Included in these was the new spoke drill, which Mr. Bradbury sold, together with his tool-making business, to Mr. W. B. Lake, J.P., now the chief director of Messrs Lake and Elliot, Ltd., Braintree. Mr. James Bradbury also invented a new motor tyre, which was a great accomplishment at the time and practically the same type of tyre is being used to-day on heavy transport vehicles throughout the greater part of the world. Mr. James Bradbury had a genius for inventing things, and he was a very creditable son of Braintree. He moved from Braintree in 1927, and had been in ill-health lately. He leaves a widow, one son and one daughter. The funeral took place at Sawbridgeworth Church."
John Edwin BRADBURY, Lieutenant, King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry
(formerly of the Artists' Rifles). Killed in Iceland during a blizzard. Aged 21
During the Second World War John joined the Artists' Rifles and later gained a commission as a Lieutenant in the King's Own Yorkshir e Light Infantry. He was involved in heavy fighting in Norway in 1940 but was safely evacuated. He was on leave in Chelmsford over Christmas 1941.
He died on 21st January 1942 after being one of 80 men caught in a blizzard during a routine march in Iceland.
John was buried at Reydarfjord Cemetery in Iceland (Military Plot. Row A. Grave 1.).
His hone was in Caxton, Cambridge Road, Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire. He left an estate valued at £397 6s. 9d.
After the First World War John's father had settled down in France, only to have evacuate back to England in 1940 after Germany's invasion, losing all their possessions. They settled at The Laurels in Baddow Road, Chelmsford and John's father worked as a postal official.
After the war John's parents were resident Verables par Gaillon, Eure, in France and later returned to England and lived in the Southend-on-Sea area..
John is commemorated on the Sawbridgeworth War Memorial in Herttfordshire.
His mother died in 1957; his father in 1984.

well-sized, i'm typically an S size, and it feels like an S.
Love the fabric on this top- washes like a dream. I personally like the shorter boxy length- layers so very well. Looks fine as a french tuck. Have several.
I really like the softness of the fabric and the fit. I am 5' and about 130 lbs. The shirt was very flattering with my large chest. However, I wish the fabric was heavier.
Not a fan - way too short and baggy.
Pay attention to the description: intentionally oversized, a line.
I'm 5'7" and there's no curved hem. It's very short and boxy.
The fabric is great--soft and smooth.

USMC: Section 106 consultation meetings to protect resources
By Jon Perez
Posted on Apr 27 2017
Tag: Chris Harris, CJMT, CNMI, people
Parties for the Section 106 consultation met yesterday at the Office on Aging conference room in China Town. The purpose of the meeting, the second after the group also held a separate discussion on Tinian on Monday, is to identify both the historic and traditional culture resources in the CNMI.
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of "their undertakings on historic properties and afford the advisory council on historic preservation a reasonable opportunity to comment."
Hawaii-based United States Marine Corps Forces Pacific operations and training expert Chris Harris said there would be a series of consultations where they would discuss how to protect, minimize, and mitigate any harm to historical and traditional resources.
"This is a candid situation where we are making sure we would properly identify everything that is important and how to mitigate any harm to these cultural properties," Harris told Saipan Tribune.
He added they have not held consultations in two years and they plan to have a series of meetings, hopefully every month.
Harris said Section 106 consultations had nothing to do and is separate with the 902 Talks and discussions on the military. "Any type of proposed action we have to consult, a regulatory consultation of Section 106 to make sure we meet the requirements."
"Over the course [of the meetings], we're going to have an agreement with the CNMI [Historic Preservation Office]. Basically, we will agree on how are we going to protect the resources identified as culturally and significantly important," said Harris.
He added that the two meetings, on Tinian and Saipan, are the start of a series of consultations. "The two meetings are to identify the people that have the knowledge on the background of historical and cultural sites. This is to make them a consultant and have them part of the group."
'No to CJMT'
Tinian Mayor Joey Patrick San Nicolas, meanwhile, said he remains opposed to the proposed activities under the Commonwealth Joint Military Training-Draft Environmental Impact Statement.
San Nicolas said he welcome any federal agency to Tinian but it does not mean that he is endorsing the proposed CJMT. "I stand by the comments I submitted in 2015 as well as my remarks in the 902 meetings in Washington, D.C. and in Honolulu, Hawaii."
"I join the administration of Gov. Ralph DLG Torres and Lt. Gov. Victor B. Hocog, and CNMI agencies in opposing the proposed CJMT."
He added the U.S. Department of Defense received more than 28,000 comments most of which oppose to the proposed CJMT. "It appears to me that they are still committed to pursuing high hazard impact live-fire training on Tinian."
"The people of Tinian remain steadfast in our opposition to CJMT. Moreover, regardless of whether Section 106, NEPA or 902 for that matter, results in an amended version of the CJMT, the people of Tinian reserve the right to criticize or even oppose any amended version of the CJMT proposal."
San Nicolas said the DoD seemed determined to move forward with their plans despite the Tinian community's opposition. "It seems clear to me that despite our community's vehement objections to activities which will adversely impact the cultural, physical, and social landscape of our island, DoD is intent on moving forward with their plans."
"Their plans to use live fire training on Tinian. As I have stated many times before, these plans are entirely unacceptable and will continue to be unacceptable for as long as certain components are not completely taken off the table," said San Nicolas.
"Of primary concern is the high hazard impact and live fire training activities which to [the Tinian] island community is non-negotiable."

Founded in 1952 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Turquoise Lodge Hospital is a division of the New Mexico Department of Health and offers short-term inpatient detox and addiction treatment. Treatment is for adults only and is co-ed but offers specialty programs for pregnant women, IV drug users and women in the process of regaining custody of their children.
Though Turquoise is a hospital, it aims to offer comfortable, home-like accommodations. With a total of 40 beds available, rooms are gender-specific and based on double occupancy, each equipped with twin beds and private bathrooms. The hospital's campus offers an outdoor workout area, basketball court, picnic tables and benches. The grounds resemble a quaint town park with trees that provide a shaded area on a large open lawn. There are designated areas on campus where the clients are permitted to smoke.
The facility provides three meals a day, served cafeteria-style, and there are usually several healthy options available.
After an initial phone interview, clients enter a medically-monitored detox (if needed), typically lasting between three and six days, at which point they are assigned a counselor and case worker and begin to participate in a daily schedule of group therapy. Clients also meet with a physician and psychiatrist during this time and receive medication management if a dual diagnosis is determined. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is also available to help manage opiate withdrawal symptoms.
Once detox is complete, clients are given an individualized treatment plan consisting of structured group and individual therapy that uses evidence-based practices, such as CBT. Most programs are based in a group setting, though there are weekly individual sessions scheduled as needed. Therapy modalities are combined with 12-step integration.
Treatment begins early in the morning, usually around 8:00 am, and ends around 8:00 pm. All programs last for 21 to 30 days.
Turquoise employs a large staff that includes a medical director, LPN, RN, psychiatrist and LADC.
Aftercare planning is an essential part of the programs and the staff provides case management to connect clients with a support community and/or outpatient services. There is also a family program for loved ones once a the client is admitted to treatment.
The programs offered at Turquoise Lodge are thorough and caring, providing specific treatment for each client. Though the programs are hospital-based, the staff aims to make the clients comfortable during their short stay; offering a continuum of care once an individual leaves the confines of structured treatment.

Open Culture posts on cities, architecture, and urbanism
From my interview archive: Arts & Letters Daily founder Denis Dutton
This year, I'm listening again to selections from the archive of long-form interviews I conducted on the public radio program The Marketplace of Ideas and podcast Notebook on Cities and Culture between 2007 and 2015.
My favorite college class won that designation not just by delivering me my sole A, but by introducing me to Arts & Letters Daily. It lasted the entire quarter but had only one assignment, the same for all fifteen or so students enrolled: write an essay on globalization. On the first day, the professor had us pull up a site that he promised us would offer a fount of engaging and clearly written pieces on a variety of subjects, globalization and otherwise, and so I took my first look at the same three columns, unchanging in format but always ever-changing in content, that I've checked every day since: Articles of Note, New Books, and Essays & Opinons (with the less regular Nota Bene on the side). Arts & Letters Daily, in other words, immediately joined the short list of outlets I couldn't do without.
Pull up the Arts & Letters Daily front page today and you get links to writing on such subjects as the relevance of Alain Badiou, the algorithmic manipulation of human emotions, the optimism of Thomas de Quincey, and the failure of "cool" — all worth reading, and as a mixture more or less what I would have expected when I began following the site over a decade ago. Still, I can't help but feel that its sensibility has shifted somewhat over the past six years since the death of its founder Denis Dutton. Whatever sensibility it had under him (which had its detractors, one of whom labeled the site "Farts & Fetters Daily") did enough to shape my thinking that, when I launched my radio show The Marketplace of Ideas, I took the site a a kind of intellectual template for my interviews. And what better tribute could I pay, I eventually thought, than to invite Dutton himself on for one?
When I e-mailed asking if he'd like to have a conversation, I knew nothing about him except that he founded Arts & Letters Daily and that he lived in New Zealand, but when he replied he gave me quite a start: not only had he gone to UC Santa Barbara, the very same university I had (and the one where I took that globalization essay class), he'd been the manager of KCSB, the station where I recorded and broadcast The Marketplace of Ideas, back in the early 1960s when it switched from AM to FM. We talked not just about his work with Arts & Letters Daily but with the Bad Writing Contest, memorably "won" with this 94-word monstrosity by Judith Butler:
The move from a structuralist account in which capital is understood to structure social relations in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation brought the question of temporality into the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a renewed conception of hegemony as bound up with the contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of power.
"To ask what this means is to miss the point," wrote Dutton. "This sentence beats readers into submission and instructs them that they are in the presence of a great and deep mind."
I didn't know at the time that Dutton, a philosophy professor by day, was at work on a book of his own on aesthetics and evolution. When The Art Instinct came out, I naturally brought him right back on the show to talk about it (thought not before Stephen Colbert did). Later that year, on a trip through New Zealand, I wondered if I should ask if he had any time to meet up, but in the event passed by Christchurch, where he lived, maybe figuring I'd catch him and the city the next time around. He died, of course, the very next year (I actually wrote his obituary in the Santa Barbara Independent), and the year after that an earthquake destroyed enough of central Christchurch that people tell me it's never really been the same since. I don't suppose there's some kind of lesson in all this.

Bukwang Logistics Co., Ltd. Becomes a Signatory to the International Cyanide Management Code
The International Cyanide Management Institute (ICMI) announced today that it has accepted the application of Bukwang Logistics Co., Ltd., a cyanide transporter based in South Korea, to become a signatory to the International Cyanide Management Code (Cyanide Code). The Cyanide Code is a voluntary industry program focused on the safe and environmentally responsible management of cyanide by companies producing gold and/or silver and by companies manufacturing, warehousing, and transporting cyanide.
By becoming a signatory, Bukwang Logistics Co., Ltd. commits to follow the Cyanide Code's Principles and implement its Standards of Practices, and to have certification audits of its operation conducted by qualified independent third-party auditors within three years of its initial application, and every three years thereafter. Operations are certified if found in compliance with the Cyanide Code, and may be de-certified if ICMI determines that they no longer comply with the Cyanide Code.
The Cyanide Code was developed under the aegis of the United Nations Environment Programme by a multi-stakeholder Steering Committee, and is amongst the most established certification programs in the mining sector. The Cyanide Code is intended to complement an operation's existing obligation to comply with the applicable laws and regulations of the political jurisdiction in which the operation is located.
ICMI has been established to administer the Cyanide Code, promote its adoption, evaluate its implementation, and manage the certification process for operations using, producing, and transporting cyanide. A detailed list of the operations covered by signatory companies' applications, along with the full text of the Cyanide Code and its implementing and administrative documents, are available at www.cyanidecode.org. We invite you to read our 2020 Annual Report, which can be viewed here.

The Ebola virus, which has killed more than 670 people in West Africa, is a threat to the United Kingdom, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has told the BBC.
Mr. Hammond said no Britons had been affected so far and there were no cases in the UK, but the government was viewing the outbreak very seriously.
Earlier this month Public Health England issued an alert to UK doctors to be aware of Ebola's symptoms.
Several West African airlines have now stopped flying to Liberia and Sierra Leone amid concerns about the outbreak.
It comes after an infected Liberian man was found to have travelled through a major Nigerian airport last week.
He went on: "At the moment we don't think any British nationals [abroad] are affected and we are fairly confident there are no cases in the UK.
The Department of Health said a man had been tested for Ebola in Birmingham but tests for the virus proved negative.
