These certifications come from the Disaster Recovery Institute (DRI)
International:

There are currently 3 levels:

1. Associate Business Continuity Planner (ABCP)

This is their entry-level certification. It is for people who do have
knowledge of "business continuity planning and disaster recovery," but
who do not yet have much experience in the field.

They must complete the CBCP application, which includes references
DRI can check. You must also score 75% or better on the exam.


2. Certified Business Continuity Professional (CBCP)

This level is intermediate and was formerly called the Certified
Disaster Recovery Planner (CDRP).

It is for those with at least 2 years of significant practical experience
in this field, in three of the areas of the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK).

You must supply two references to document each area of your experience.

You must score at least 75% on the exam, which consists of
125 multiple choice questions.

This level has continuing requirements:

You must earn 80 what they call "continuing education points"
over a 2 year period and pay a maintenance fee.

3. Master Business Continuity Planner (MBCP)

This is their advanced level certification.

You must have at least 5 years of working experience in the industry,
in the past 10 years.

You must pass the CBCP exam with a score of at least 85%. You must also
complete a masters case study exam with a score of at least

DHTML
This updates the article at:

DHMTL for Not Yet Techies

Dynamic HTML is not a technology in and of itself. As the
W3C, it's a marketing term used by Microsoft and Netscape
for things their 4.X version browsers could do.

Version 4.Xs of Internet Explorer and Netscape and the
advent of HTML 4.0, which allowed for all formatting to
be done by an external stylesheet, enabled the development
of DHTML, using Cascading Style Sheets / CSS. And JavaScript
was also an essential component of Dynamic HTML.

Since then, Netscape has lost its position as a major
browser. Internet Explorer has developed in many ways
but basically can display more multimedia options. HTML
has morphed into XHTML, but the only real change is how
certain tags are done to conform with XML.

Also, there hasn't been much change in JavaScript in the
past few years.

So probably the biggest change in DHTML is that most web
designers and developers use more advanced technologies
such as ASP.NET (formerly Active Server Pages) and PHP.
