North Korea Threatens 'New Form' of Nuclear Test
Bruce Klingner / @BruceKlingner / March 31, 2014
North Korea threatened on March 30 to carry out a "new form of nuclear test for bolstering up our nuclear deterrence."
The regime declared it has a "more diversified nuclear deterrence" to be used for hitting medium- and long-range targets "with a variety of striking power." Pyongyang also warned that "If the U.S. considers this a provocation, we are fully ready to take steps that the enemy can hardly imagine.… The United States should not act rashly and it will bear all responsibility in the event of a catastrophic event on the Korean Peninsula."
North Korea's threat is consistent with previous inflammatory though vague assertions about its nuclear and missile capabilities. In March 2013, Pyongyang threatened to turn Seoul and Washington into "seas of fire" through a "diversified precise nuclear strike," using "lighter and smaller nukes unlike what they had in the past."
Pyongyang is likely signaling it will test a uranium nuclear weapon—previous tests used plutonium. A successful uranium test would demonstrate that North Korea had developed a parallel path to augment its nuclear arsenal. Recent satellite imagery showed significant excavation activity at North Korea's nuclear test site but no indication of an imminent test.
North Korea's threat is in response to U.N. Security Council condemnation of Pyongyang's recent launch of two No Dong medium-range ballistic missiles, which violated a U.N. ban. The Security Council is now deliberating on another resolution and additional punitive measures.
Similarly, in early 2013, the regime threatened nuclear attacks on Seoul and Washington, raising tensions to a dangerously high level to dissuade the Security Council from imposing new punitive measures in response to North Korea's February 2013 nuclear test. Although Pyongyang is currently engaged in a periodic charm offensive, it has typically issued threats or initiated threats when the U.N. deliberates new resolutions.
If North Korea continues its threats, it could undermine South Korean domestic support for President Park Geun-hye's March 28 announcement of her "Dresden Doctrine," which again offered an olive branch of conditional engagement to the reclusive regime.
Experts predominantly assess that North Korea has developed several nuclear devices but has not yet mastered the ability to miniaturize the warhead or deliver it via missile. Media reports habitually declare that North Korean missiles cannot yet reach the United States. Based on this benign conclusion, policymakers presume the U.S. and its allies still have several years to diplomatically constrain North Korea's nuclear program, pursue timidly incremental sanctions, and prepare military defenses.
However, this analytic construct is flawed since available unclassified evidence indicates North Korea has likely already achieved warhead miniaturization, the ability to place nuclear weapons on its No Dong medium-range missiles, and a preliminary ability to reach the continental U.S. As such, the U.S. and its allies face a greater threat today than is widely construed.
The regime's inability to achieve its diplomatic and economic objectives through its current charm offensive will lead it to return to high-risk provocations. On March 31, North Korea fired artillery shells into South Korean waters that Pyongyang claims as its own. Seoul responded by firing 300 shells into North Korea waters. Last April, Pyongyang threatened attacks on South Korean islands in the area, which has been the site of several previous deadly clashes.
All of this is occurring amidst the U.S. slashing its defense budget and allies increasingly questioning the Obama Administration's resolve to defend them against the growing North Korean and Chinese threats.

Breckenridge Lands Modernizes its Web Presence
Breckenridge Lands has been the premier developer of residential neighborhoods, custom homes, and commercial properties in the Breckenridge area since 1958. As the original developer and operator of the Breckenridge Ski Area and one of the largest private landowners in Summit County, Breckenridge Lands has strong ties to the local community and a well-established reputation for responsible development.
Tom Begley, the owner of Breckenridge Lands, approached me asking for help on a complete redesign and modernization of the Breckenridgelands.com website. The original website was launched more than a decade ago and was sorely in need of an overhaul. The primary issues included:
Obsolete content and photography
A non-mobile architecture (not responsive)
The inability to scroll and add new content on each page.
And let's face it, the website was 13 years old; that's 100 in human years! Not only did it look old and antiquated, its code was extremely deprecated.
I was excited to start working with Tom and looked forward to revamping and create a best-of-class, modern website for his company.
One of the new website's primary goals was to showcase the beauty and majestic scenery of Breckenridge. The home page banner image was specifically crucial in capturing the spirit of Breckenridge Lands. We chose to work with Jeff Andrew from Jeff Andrew Photography, who provided a stunning photo of Breckenridge's town, with the Ten Mile mountain range in the background. Other professional photography of recent land developments were utilized. Yet some photography didn't exist, so I set off with my trusty iPhone and snapped some images to include in the website.
Breckenridge Map Illustration
The map on the old site was grainy, blurry, dark, and hard to read. It was also inaccurate and obsolete. Tom asked me to recreate it, allowing me to brush up on my illustration skills from years gone by. My illustration tool of choice has always been Adobe Illustrator. This time around, I decided to try a new app called Affinity Designer. I must admit, I was impressed with the power and capability of the program. Even though it lacked some features, I was ok with that, given the one-time price of only $50! Ultimately I was able to create a map that's a dramatic improvement over the old one.

No-obligation, professionally prepared audit to help identify your brand and marketing strengths, opportunities, and blind spots.
There was plenty of great content from the old website providing a rich narrative of the history and legacy of Breckenridge Lands, but some of the content needed to be revised and restructured to better tell their story intuitively and succinctly. Working with Tom, together we edited the old website content, taking into account the company's new developments and vision.
Search engine optimization was nonexistent on the old website. As part of the website development process, basic onsite SEO was provided, adding researched keywords to content, metadata, image descriptions, and links. A Google My Business and Yahoo Business page was also created and verified, giving the website greater visibility in search.
Working with Tom Begley at Breckenridge Lands was a positive experience. The result is a best-of-class website, with a modern look and feel, intuitive information architecture, updated content and photography, optimized for search engines, and ready to meet the future needs of Breckenridge Lands.

I was impressed with the courses offered and the faculty in the program. All of the faculty members had practical experience working in the education field as principals, administrators, or teachers.
Hometown and current residence: Versailles, Pa.
What made you choose Point Park's curriculum and instruction grad program?
I was impressed with the courses offered and the faculty in the program. All of the faculty members had practical experience working in the education field as principals, administrators, or teachers. Their teaching style is based on their real-world experiences in school districts. Also, I liked that I was able to take three classes in a row on a Saturday instead of on different days throughout the week. Point Park's central location in Downtown Pittsburgh was helpful too and easy to get to compared to other universities in the area.
What are your key responsibilities as a coordinator of curriculum, instruction, and assessment for PA LEARNERS Online/STREAM Academy within the Allegheny Intermediate Unit?
I am responsible for coordinating the K-12 curricula to ensure for vertical and horizontal integration of Pennsylvania state standards. My job also has me responsible for providing sustained professional development for staff based upon identified school needs, curricular support, state mandates, and school improvement. I oversee the state mandated tests in coordination with our guidance department. In addition, I supervise teachers and conduct observations and conferences with them. I also work collaboratively with the other administrators in my school in the planning, implementing, and communicating of programs and initiatives.
How has your master's degree helped you in your career path?
By earning a master's degree from Point Park, I was also able to obtain my curriculum and instruction certification through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This additional certification has opened doors for me that my administrative certificate alone could not. It helped me obtain my previous position as the K-12 social studies supervisor for Pittsburgh Public Schools as well as my current position.
What job opportunities are there for curriculum and instruction graduates?
School districts are always looking for people who have expertise in curriculum and instruction and view graduates of this field of study as very valuable. In an era of increased accountability for schools and educational institutions, people with knowledge and skills in curriculum and instruction are vital to success and student achievement.
What advice do you have for educators?
Educators have to keep abreast of the best ways to educate students, especially in a rapidly changing technological environment. At the Allegheny Intermediate Unit, we strive to match our curriculum with what's needed in the 21st century workplace and require that it happens in a manner that is leading-edge, high quality, and cost-effective.


Hello folks, I just wanted to give a brief update on the conference so far, before I run down to the Seattle Aquarium for a social. Yesterday (Monday) was the first day of talks at the American Fisheries Society conference.
I figure most of you don't know what a science conference is like, so forgive me if I get into too much detail.
The day began dreadfully early. The plenary talks began at 8 am at the beautiful historical Paramount Theatre. It opened up, surprisingly, with a prayer in the language of one of the Native American tribes that fish salmon along the Washington coast. What was even more surprising was that the prayer was not an invocation to the Great Spirit, but was actually a Christian prayer ending with 'the name of your son Jesus, amen.' This was followed by a traditional Shaker song in a native tongue. It was certainly an intriguing and unexpected beginning to a scientific conference.
I am still struggling with that one. He certainly shook things up.
1. Challenges to reducing barotrauma mortality in US. (Stephen Theberge Jr).
2. Too hot or too cold? How Pacific sardine respond to changing temperatures (Alena Pribyl).
7. Effects of an experimental cortisol challenge on the behaviour of wild radio-tagged creek chub in late fall.
There was at least one other, but I cannot for the life of me recall it.
To be honest, there weren't too many talks that excited me this day. The temperature and sardines one was really cool, with a very ambitious experimental design that was able to address a large number of questions. It fits in with my own research program quite well, so I will likely contact that scientist to get a copy of their research.
Today (Tuesday) however was much more exciting. I took copious notes, and tomorrow I will describe some of the remarkable things I learned about the state of the American fisheries.
Monday evening kicked off with a delicious buffet at the trade show/poster convention. I had an involved discussion with the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) people, that I will have to make a separate post about. I talked to a Canadian about some sweet work he's doing with predator/prey behaviour in an alpine lake, and then returned to my hotel, exhausted and ready to take advantage of American Netflix.

New rules on website and app accessibility agreed
04-May-2016 @ 14:30
No items found. No items found. No items found.
New rules have been approved guaranteeing fuller access to the internet for people with disabilities.
Under the measures agreed by negotiators in Brussels, public sector bodies such as local councils, courts, public hospitals and the police must ensure their websites and mobile apps are accessible to all, especially the blind, partially sighted and hard of hearing.
This might mean enabling users to change the colour and size of text, incorporating a speech function to read out text and describe images and adding a facility to browse without a mouse.
Conservative MEP Vicky Ford, who took part in the negotiations with officials from the European Council and European Commission, described the rules as important and proportionate.
"The UK is already leading the way in this area and much of our good practice has been fed into the legislation," said Mrs Ford, MEP for Eastern England who chairs the European Parliament's Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee.
"Being able to obtain information from websites and apps about key public services is a necessity of modern day life and we must spread the benefits of the Digital Single Market to all.
"It has been good to work with experts from the Royal National Institute for Blind People in the UK and representatives of those with visual impairments across Europe to understand better how smart use of technology can really help those with disabilities, and how frustrating it is when public websites are poorly designed."
The legislation includes an "on demand" process allowing individuals to ask for information to be provided in an accessible format. A separate clause prevents the measures becoming overly burdensome for individual organisations.
Meanwhile, countries have agreed to work with experts to develop technical standards for mobile apps to make them more accessible for the disabled.
The rules will now be formally approved by the European Parliament and the Council, after which Member States have 21 months to incorporate them into national legislation.
