The Bellow Hand Duster features new design enhancements that make it the "Professional's Choice" when it comes to crack and crevice treatments of fine dust products into small areas. This bellow hand duster features a new bellows and spring that is much easier to compress and use than other similar dusters on the market. In addition, the clean-out rod comes with an o-ring for a tighter seal to prevent dust from escaping out the back of the duster. A 6.5 inch extension makes it easy to treat hard to reach places. The metal extension also features an insulated black tip to prevent a shock hazard when dusting near electrical outlets. To use the duster, fill the rubber container (bellows) half-way full with an insecticide dust product such as Delta Dust or Pyganic Dust. It is also recommended to place a small rock in the duster to help break up the dust and prevent it from clumping. Compressing the bellows will cause dust to escape the metal tip of the duster. Using a duster allows you to inject dust more easily into cracks and crevices or inside wall voids where insects like to hide. We highly recommend purchasing a duster when applying any dust products. Note: This hand duster does not come with an insecticide dust. You will have to purchase the dust separately.

How to Properly Use the Bellow Hand Duster (Video)
Remove black rubber cap from top of the bellows. The duster should be filled only halfway with dust - no more than two-thirds full. This allows for adequate air space to create the desired air/dust mixture prior to application. If there is too much dust in the duster, clumps of dust on treated surfaces may result, leading to over application of the product and messy spills.
Between each squeeze, the duster should be shaken slightly to get dust floating inside the duster.
When applying dust into cracks and crevices and on surfaces, gently squeeze the duster to ensure the application of very thin layers of dust. When dusting correctly, you should barely be able to see the dust emerging from the tip of the duster.
Before relaxing your grip on the duster, pull it away from the surface or crack you are treating to prevent sucking up lint, moisture or debris. Small amounts of these items will eventually cause lumping and/or clogging of the duster. In the event that the nozzle becomes clogged, you may unscrew the rod from the rear of the nozzle and insert it into the nozzle to break up any clogs.
- The easiest way (and correct way) to use the duster is upside down (with the bellows facing downward). Place several pebbles or small ball bearings in your duster to keep the dust agitated and ensure than any clumps are broken up prior to application.
- Carry a small brush and a damp cloth. These can be used in the event that dust accidentally drifts out of cracks and crevices and onto non-target areas. Use the brush to push excess dust into cracks, and use the cloth to wipe up.

Works Well
By Sarah in Palo Alto, CA on 06/07/2009
Verified Purchase
Well, I have a spider issue in my house, as many others do as well. I have a small studio apartment in California, very old and in an area with a lot of trees. I bought Delta Dust to spray around my house as a preventative. So I've only used this hand duster with that product. I've found it very easy to use, and great for getting into all of those cracks and whatnot around my apartment. It has semi-clogged once, but I just shook it hard and that resolved the issue. I read somewhere to put a couple of rocks in the blower to keep clumps from forming, but I did not have that issue. It may be that since California has such a low humidity level that clumps are not as likely. The blower was very easy to fill, cap, and begin to use immediately. I have seen that as the dust gets low, I have to shake it a bit to settle the contents at the bottom, but it's not a huge problem. So I've had a very positive experience, and I've very glad I got this to distribute the Delta Dust with.

Low cost duster that works well!
By Richard in San Jose, CA on 06/25/2010
Verified Purchase
I got this to use with Delta Dust in our crawl spaces and have now started using it to blow the dust into cracks between the wood siding too. It works well, just be careful when filling it since the stopper hole is about the same size as the Delta Dust 1lb bottle top.

I was looking for something to apply BT to my cole crops. The Hudson Adjutant tin duster was terrible and cost me almost twice as much! It required constant shaking and lots of muscle power. The bellow hand duster is much easier to use and more accurate. Love it. Thanks!

Works, but could use flexible tip
By Dorr in Cheraw, SC on 06/06/2011
Verified Purchase
This is a good, reasonably priced product which does what it says it will do; that is, applying insecticidal dusts. However, I'm using it exclusively for carpenter bee control, and the dust must be applied up into their carefully drilled holes. Up, not sideways. The rigid tip on the applicator makes this impossible. This caused an issue for me, but I was able to work out a solution. I bought a length of flexible tubing and duct- taped it to the end of the applicator tip. This allows me to bend the tubing and shove it into the bee holes. It would be nice if a piece of tubing could be included as a free "accessory." Mine cost 54 cents at Lowe's.

Excellent value

There are more expensive dusters on the market and I believe the old saying "you get what you pay for". In this case as a home owner and not a professional, I took a chance on the least expensive and am happy with my choice. Follow directions and it will work four stars good.

Bellow Hand Duster for Delta Dust
By Esther in Michigan on 08/16/2010
Verified Purchase
This is a must have item if you have wasps under your siding. One application using the bellow hand duster and the Delta Dust took care of my problem. Also they were building inside the door of a parked van, this also allowed the dust to get where it was needed. Great product. I had one last year and misplaced it, had to purchase a second one.

Duster Clogs with Drione Dust
By Jlw in KS on 08/09/2010
I used this duster with Drione dust and it worked ok at first, but then started clogging. The Drione dust was about 90% fine powder with about 10% larger particles. The larger particles kept clogging the nozzle, which is frustrating when you're on your hands and knees or bent over trying to use the duster. A piece of wire (coat hanger) would unclog it, but was a pain. I'm not sure if I had a bad batch of [Drione] dust or not.

QI am getting too much dust when I squeeze the bellow hand duster. Am I doing something wrong?
Firstly thanks for your great level of service and pricing. My last order included Delta dust and a duster. I am trying to dust my electrical outlets, however I notice no matter how gently I squeeze the duster I seem to get dust all over the place. The Delta dust seems to spill out into a cloud out of the electrical outlets. I am concerned that I could inhale the dust. Any advice would be appreciated.
AYou are most likely holding the bellow hand duster incorrectly. After you fill the bellow hand duster about 1/4-1/3 of the way with dust you should replace the black cap and then flip the duster over so the red or blue band is now at the top and the black rubber cap is facing the ground. This will help you dispense smaller amounts of dust into the outlets.
07/27/2011 Jason
QCan the hand duster be used multiple times?
I was going to use it with Tri Dust. How often do I have to replace it?
AThe bellow hand duster can be used over and over again with no problem. Be sure to store the duster in a cool dry environment so that the rubber on the duster will not breakdown. Most people have their bellow hand dusters for years before they need to be replaced.
07/21/2012 Angie from Ohio
QHow can I solve the problem of a lot of dust shooting out with the Bellow duster?
When I use this with Drione Dust, a lot of dust just shoots out of the duster and it is really frustrating, so I want to know how to resolve this problem? Or do you have an electric duster for indoor purposes?
AThe bellow hand duster is made to hold in different positions to control the amount of dust that comes out. To let out the least amount of dust, you should actually hold the duster upside down, with the black plunger facing down. If you hold it to the side it will let out a little more, and then if you hold it upright, black plunger up which is probably how you are applying it now, it lets out the most amount of dust. The least amount of dust is actually the best method, so you should hold it upside down.

QGoing to kill bumble bee nest under a whiskey barrel. Is the inexpensive duster OK or do I need B&G?
The bees are definitely Bumble, not carpenter. They are in my back yard close to back door under a whiskey barrel planter. No body wants to move them, so I have to kill them. Too dangerous to allow them to stay with child & a dog that hunts bugs. I'm concerned about the nozzle length of the different dusters & being able to effectively get under the planter.
AThe bellow hand duster is usually sufficient for most small jobs. The bellow hand duster does have a 5 inch extension nozzle and you only have to get into the entrance of the nest. As the bees go in and out they will spread the dust through the nest themselves.
06/07/2011 Linda
QCan the same bellow hand duster be used with two different dust pesticides?
.... as long as it is emptied of the first type before filling it with the second type?
AAs long as the bellow hand duster is completely emptied of the first dust insecticide there should be no problem using a second dust product in the same duster.
09/21/2014 Michelle from Chapin, Sc
QHow much easier is the new design to compress?
I have the old design which I use to apply DE to my cats as the tip places the dust close to the skin where the fleas are. However, I have very small hands and need one of them to hold the cat. Is this one noticeably easier to use so that my hands won't become as fatigued?
AThe design of the Bellow Hand Duster has remained the same and we are not able to tell a difference between the ease of use. The Bellow Hand Duster has a spring mechanism that does require more presure to expel the dust. However, if the pressure needed to push the dust is a concern maybe the Bulb Duster may be a better option for your needs.

QWould the Bellow Hand Duster work with DE?
I want to be able to dust my chicken coop with DE on a regular schedule to keep away the mites.
AAbsolutely! The Bellow Hand Duster will work well with most dusts.
12/30/2015 Harlan from Phoenix
QCan I use an extension hose at end of the extension tip of the Bellow Hand Duster?
I know you sell the Long Shot Puffer, but will a piece of tubing, say 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch diameter hose fit on the end to use as an extension if I need to reach a few feet.
A We would recommend only using the Bellow Hand Duster as is, and not attempting add any additional tubing to the end of the extension. You most likely would lose both dust and necessary air pressure out of the connection. If you need to reach longer distances, you could something like the B&G 2 Quart Duster 1152-A, which has several different attachments and adds an electrostatic charge to insecticide dusts. You may browse all of our Dusters here.

Previous review is incorrect. I have never seen more dedicated professionals. In recent months this shelter has been turned around from a "high kill" to seeking fosters and adopters. Treating sick animals and reaching out to the general public to save and re-house the animals. Keep up the good work Pasco County. I will continue to support your efforts and hope others see the progress made on behalf of the animals.

Based in Yunnan Province, home to a rich diversity of minority communities and traditions, this program examines the social, environmental, economic, and cultural factors shaping Yunnan's and China's future. Here, you will gain a deep understanding of China's rich multicultural history and broadened perspectives on the major issues and challenges confronting China today. In addition, you can rapidly advance your Chinese through the program's language component, which yields up to ten academic credits.
The SIT semester abroad in China has given me the resources, training, and unbelievable academic independence necessary to pursue meaningful research in my field of study (conservation biology). The program staff allow each student to go nearly anywhere to study nearly anything. They granted me the freedom to conduct my independent study project on incorporating local participation into solutions to a dire environmental problem in tropical Yunnan, and through my project I developed invaluable professional contacts for my future involvement in this region. My teachers opened the doors to all of China to me. I gained new direction in my life. This program transcends undergraduate education—it enables students to embark on missions of self-discovery and positive change.
Francis Commercon, Colorado State University
On this program you will explore the complexity of China's social groups and develop a deeper understanding of the key social, historical, and cultural issues at work in minority communities.
Each program component exposes you to the complex and varied challenges and opportunities faced by China's ethnic minority groups. You will engage with a broad array of knowledge centers, and lecturers are drawn from a wide variety of local institutions and organizations.
The program is based in Kunming — Yunnan Province's largest city and political, economic, and cultural center — and includes periods where you will study on the campus of Yunnan Minzu University and live in a three-week homestay with a family in the city. Kunming is called "the City of Eternal Spring" and is famous in China for its nice climate and good air.
You will attend lectures by local professors and experts in Kunming and during educational site visits to diverse locales. These lectures and excursions will help you deepen your understanding of China's varied cultures and ethnic minorities.
Through structured and unstructured language learning and daily interactions with your host families, you will refine your communications skills while becoming acclimated to the local culture. This period provides an introduction to the relevant topical issues China faces today, information you will later build upon during your educational excursions and Independent Study Project.
While in Kunming, you will undertake 90 class hours of Chinese language instruction. Students at all skill levels receive training in reading, writing, listening, and speaking Chinese.
Through a combination of interactive classroom learning, cultural immersion on campus, and the practical application of language skills in homestays, during excursions, and throughout the Independent Study Project, you can make tremendous progress in your Chinese language skills over the course of the semester.
The language program is distinguished by its excellent teacher-to-student ratio; in addition, you will be partnered with Chinese university students so you can practice Chinese with native speakers and apply what you learn in the classroom to the informal conditions of everyday life.
If you wish to focus on language acquisition specifically, you may, in lieu of an Independent Study Project, pursue an additional 60 hours of language instruction, which includes a language pledge. Currently, five members of the Kunming program staff are ACTFL-certified testers in oral Chinese language proficiency
Having one-on-one tutoring with my teachers allowed me to learn more Chinese in a month than I learned in the two years I took Chinese before attending SIT. The language pledge pushed me and inspired me to be more confident by forcing me to step out of my comfort zone and practice my Chinese with locals. While the language pledge was one of the most challenging months of my life, it is what I will remember and treasure most about my experience in Kunming.
Caroline Marso, Occidental College
This seminar includes three sections: Chinese history and religions, China's social issues and arts and humanities, and China's minority issues. The unique minority issues component of the seminar — including excursions, visits, and exchanges with ethnic minority groups — distinguishes this study abroad program from any other in China. This interdisciplinary seminar explores the relationship between China's central government and the ethnically diverse minority populations of Yunnan. The interactions inherent in the relationship between China's "peripheral peoples" and an arguably constructed dominant "Han" culture form a foundation upon which questions of autonomy and identity are brought to life in Yunnan and its environs.
During this phase of the program, you will participate in educational excursions throughout Yunnan Province. You will witness the region's struggle, as it increasingly becomes a major focus of both domestic and foreign tourism, to achieve a balance between developed tourist areas, such as Dali and Lijiang, and more remote sites that retain a strong sense of cultural integrity. By living with a local family in a rural farming village, you will learn about the cultural traditions that define and sustain these diverse communities.
Excursions relate directly to the program's Field Methods and Ethics seminar, which instructs you on the techniques, methods, and ethics necessary for successful research. Throughout this section of the program, you will develop ideas for your Independent Study Project (ISP) and will learn to properly refine your research topics.
In the final month of the semester, you will undertake an Independent Study Project (ISP) intensive language training, or, starting in fall 2017, an internship.
The ISP provides you with an opportunity to critically examine a topic, community, or situation related to Chinese culture or ethnic minorities in China.
Previous ISP topics have included:
Alternatively, you may use this time to pursue one month of additional language study in lieu of the ISP. If you pursue this option, you will spend this period participating in intensive and often one-on-one language instruction, which includes taking a language pledge.
During the Independent Study Project period, I spent a month studying HIV and hepatitis C co-infection among intravenous drug users while interning at Yundi, an NGO based in Kunming. My research was praised by the NGO and will be used to raise awareness about the issue. SIT gave me an opportunity I would have never had in the US or on any other study abroad program. This program is about more than just receiving a letter grade, it is about preparing young adults to be global citizens.

The China: Language, Cultures, and Ethnic Minorities program includes numerous educational day trips and extended excursions designed to complement and enhance classroom study and field-based activities. Day trips and excursion experiences are deepened through frequent discussion and reflection sessions led by students and the academic director.
Day trips near the city of Kunming may include:
During day trips and excursions in Yunnan Province, you may witness firsthand a Dongba shaman go into a trance; the agile and fluid motions of a Daoist master; the selfless dedication of workers at a Tibetan orphanage; an audience with a reincarnate Tibetan lama; and choral singing at a Christian Miao (Hmong) minority village.
You will travel across China to the capital city of Beijing, where Yunnan Province's great ethnic diversity is placed in both historical and contemporary perspective. Through a combination of lectures, educational site visits, and a small group field study project, the striking ethnic and historical contrast between Beijing and Yunnan Province becomes clear.
In Beijing, you will meet top Chinese academics and learn about Chinese identity and central government policies on minorities and will also learn about the ethnic and cultural history of Beijing through experiential learning in the city itself. Lecturers may include faculty drawn from Beijing's best institutions of higher education, including Beijing University, Tsinghua University, or China's Central Nationalities University. Their lectures may focus on such diverse topics as:
Furthering your understanding of ethnic minority relations over time, you will visit historically significant sites such as the Great Wall, the Tibetan temple of Yonghegong, and the Forbidden City built by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when the Manchu minority ruled China.
The Beijing excursion deepens your understanding of remote Yunnan's place in the modern Chinese nation and throughout imperial times, thus clarifying the distinct roles played throughout China's history by the majority Han Chinese, as well as by northern ethnic minorities, and their political, military, and cultural contributions to modern China.
Corollary goals of the Beijing excursion include giving you a taste of China's millennia-old urban sophistication, a clearer idea of the fast pace of modernization in China's largest cities, and an appreciation of the high degree of China's political centralization. To that end, in addition to enjoying group visits to UNESCO World Heritage sites, you will engage in a day-long group field study project in Beijing, and you will have time to discover on your own a plethora of Beijing's great places, including the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, the Olympic Bird's Nest, fascinating markets, art districts, and many museums.
The two-week minority areas excursion involves deep and varied experiential learning opportunities in the Yi and Hui Autonomous County of Weishan, the Bai areas of Dali and Shaxi, the Naxi ancient town of Lijiang, and the Tibetan areas of northwestern Yunnan. The itinerary changes each semester to include less-visited sites and rural areas vital to understanding modern China's vast diversity and many inequalities. You will engage with local residents through visits to religious temples and monasteries, nature reserves, local markets, organizations for cultural preservation, orphanages, schools, and factories. Immediately preceding the Independent Study Project (ISP) period, this excursion forms the core of the travel portion of the program and exposes you to myriad possibilities and contacts for your ISP.
The Yunnan Exploration Project, a self-designed independent study and travel period in Yunnan Province, allows you to build upon concepts learned in the thematic seminar and to utilize your Chinese language training. The project also develops your flexibility and confidence in your ability to conduct fieldwork in China and prepares you for logistical challenges you may encounter during future assignments outside the classroom, during your Independent Study Project, and on future visits and study in China.
You will identify a site or sites you would like to explore, and, individually or in small groups, will arrange your own travel to these destinations, where you will explore the area and interact with residents over the course of approximately five days. On your return, you will present the skills and field study methods you used during the process of problem-solving, locating food and lodging during your travels, and, in a paper, you will discuss key moments during the project that led to a greater understanding of some aspect of China's dominant and ethnic minority cultures as well as your own culture.

Language learning is tangled into the city life of your host family.
Nina Whittaker, Kenyon College
The China: Language, Cultures, and Ethnic Minorities program includes two different homestays, allowing you to experience daily Chinese life in both urban and rural settings.
You will spend three weeks with a family in urban Kunming, exchanging cultural information and insights and interests. Through this experience, you will gain a far deeper understanding of China's increasingly complex and economically stratified society. When possible, you will be placed in a home with a family that shares common professions and interests related to your Independent Study Project (ISP) topic. In many cases, the homestay family becomes an important contact for you as you explore the role of ethnic minority cultures for your ISP.
In the rural Bai nationality farming community of Shaxi, you will experience a more traditional way of life. You may help your host family with daily chores, including farming, milking, and producing goods to be sold at the local weekly market. You will gain firsthand knowledge of minority cultures and witness the profound changes occurring as a result of increased development and tourism. This homestay lasts for four to five days.
Other accommodations during the program include hostels, educational institutions, or small hotels.
A diversity of students representing different colleges, universities, and majors study abroad on this program. Many of them have gone on to do amazing things that connect back to their experience abroad with SIT. Learn what some of them are now doing.

This Film Deserves Its Propers
- deservesrespect
- 9/1/16
To summarize what's good in this film-watch Macready as Hull,that's what's the greatest part of this film.An actor who was never given proper praise,Macready,suffering with emphysema,was Sec Of State Hull,and in a powerful scene,blasts the Japanese gov't for the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.We may have heard otherwise in the ensuing decades since Pearl about whether it was unexpected,but his stating in 50 years of public service he'd never seen so many glaring untruths as presented by the Japanese to Washington.Really don't understand why this film isn't considered more highly,as many other war-related films,as IN HARMS WAY!
Haven't Seen This In Years

The events and strategies leading up to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii are well depicted in "Tora Tora Tora". First there is the people and thinking of both sides as to how this really happened and then there are the attack scenes done with stunning brilliance. The Japanese did everything from about 8am to 10am on that fateful Sunday morning. Luckily we had 3 aircraft carriers away at the time. Surprisingly "Tora Tora Tora" bombed out in theaters in 1971 although "Patton" was a hit at the time. Still this shows the leadup and then the attack in fuller details than other Pearl Harbor movies.

This movie should be titled "Bore-a" "Bore-a" "Bore-a."
Factual account!

If you like war films, there is none better than this one! There are no side stories involving romance, etc. It's just the facts leading to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The complete preparation by the Japanese is mind-boggling in its thoroughness and you can fully see why they were so successful in this endeavor. The myriad mistakes made by the USA, completely unprepared for defense of this strategic island, make you boil with anger. It is interesting to note that the Japanese were no less avid in their support of their nation than we were in ours, each patriotic in their own way. All of these decades later, this film holds up as well as the day it was released. The aerial attack scenes are striking, particularly when you understand they are, for the most part, actual footage shot that awful day. I watch this film every single time it is shown and I still appreciate it as one of the greatest war films ever made!

When I saw Tora! Tora! Tora! on TCM a few weeks ago (2012 March), there were Japanese scenes I had never seen before on my DVD version. I'm glad to see another reviewer confirmed this. I saw this movie in the theater when it was first released and wonder if those scenes were in that version. I distinctly remember the scene of the woman flight instructor cursing in the theatrical version, which is not on the DVD, so I wonder what other scenes were in the "full" version.

I don't believe i have ever seen this version of the movie before. I have a relatively recent dvd of it and yet though i tuned in late, i caught a scene which featured famous japanese actor kiyoshi astumi famous for playing "tora-san" (character name a happy coincidence with tora, tora, tora) in the long running series known as the "tora san, otoko ha tsuraiho") as a cook on board one of the ships of the pearl harbor strike force. has anyone seen this version before, and do you have any info. very curious to see the full version of the March 1, broadcast.
Tora! Tora! Tora!

This is the World War II movie that depicts the events that transpired in Washington, Japan and Hawaii ending in the subsequent attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 in chronological order. A tragedy of errors committed by the United States mired in military protocol and the complacency of political and diplomatic relations highlights this breathtaking film. The battle scenes that were filmed are a thrilling combination of actual footage and staged action...and the results are absolutely stunning! There are no "stars" in this film and no love story attached to its electrifying theme and rightfully so! The weight is in the story and not the ensemble cast that created their characters. Excellently directed by Richard Fleischer as well as three Japanese directors, including Akiro Kurosawa, gave this film its its impetus and put us right in the middle of "a date which will live in infamy."
history of communications networks in defense

This film is a great historical document regarding the development of communications networks used in aviation and defense.

One of the best, if not THE best, WWII movies ever produced!
Best Pearl Harbor movie ever.
- 12/1/11
In my opinion "Tora! Tora! Tora!" is much better and much more accurate than "Pearl Harbor". There are no added love story or deliberate history fakings. It tries to recount what happened as accurate as possible. On the technical side it's faschinating. In Japan full size mock-ups of a complete battleship and half an aircraft carrier were constructed. In Pearl Harbor half an American battleship was built on barges. 30 American trainers were converted into three types of japanese planes and launched from a real carrier. Dozens of mock-up American fighters were built to be destroyed during the bombing scenes.One of my favorite movies!

My Fellow Lee County Citizens,
My name is Don Armstrong and I am seeking election for the Lee County School Board, District 6 seat. I am asking you for your support during my candidacy. Previously I had the privilege to represent District 4 here in Lee County. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a few things about myself.
Unlike so many others, I was born and raised in Lee County, Florida. I am the proud father of twins, both of whom attend school in Lee County. It is my job, as their parent, to see that they receive a quality education. I will fight for what parents, teachers and all Lee County residents deserve from our school system. I will fight to create a world-class school system.
I have listened to my opponents speak in favor of Common Core curriculum, High-Stakes testing, raising taxes, and opposition to having neighborhood schools. Time and time again Lee County citizens have expressed their views against these ideas and I know it is time again to step up and make their voices heard. During my previous term I fought hard for this district and I will not accept the backsliding that is happening.
For some, politics are about the left versus the right. For me, it is about what is wrong and what is right. I am not a politician. I am a parent. I have a vested interest that no other opponent for District 6 can claim. I am the only candidate running that has children currently attending and learning in Lee County schools. I see the curriculum on a daily basis. I experience first-hand the money wasted on Common Core and the related High-Stakes Testing. I see the kids coming home after long hours of testing, exhausted, frustrated, and missing out on the joy of learning. As a father, I am especially capable of speaking to the concerns of parents. My record reflects that I have been fighting against big corporate testing and big government curriculum. I have been fighting, as a father, for years.
I have the support of parents and teachers. I have the support of the community. My opponents have the support of big money. Everyone knows it takes money to run a campaign. Please support and donate to my Lee Country School Board District 6 campaign. It is time to restore local control of our schools, stop the increase in sales tax and put a voice of the people back on the board.
Nelson Mandela once said "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." It is time to arm our children and let them change the world for the better.
Don H. Armstrong

Mr. Hadj-Moussa, Thanks for the wonderful meal. My family and I are always happy with your food and hospitality. Be well and see you soon.
Thanks for the Father's Day date dessert!
I recently discovered the Barbary Fig (thank you Sally!). I love this place. In fact, my husband and I brought a group of 11 in. The owner was fantastic, we pre-arranged with him a price and then asked him to plan the menu. He did a fantastic job of blending an appetizer, two different entrees that we all shared and a dessert. The Mediterranean food with a slight French influence is a real treat! Kudos to him for successfully running this restaurant since 1989!
Excellent, as always!
I LOVE this place! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is charming, and the owner is truly one of the nicest guys around.
I accompanied a friend with her ethnic dining group last Friday night. It was an awesome choice. I tried foods I've never had before and loved them ALL!! The Brik, Bastilla and Poached Pear for Dessert….OMG!! I WILLLLL BE BACK!! The staff and chef/cook were very hospitable.
well. I am embarrassed to say I had never been to the BF before a friend from Bemidji recommended it to me. And I live here! A sumptuous place and food. Immediately fell in love. Wish you had a happy hour starting at 4, but maybe keeping the hours as they are helps make the place what it is.
Thank you.
I absolutely l love this restaurant. The owner went out of his way to make us feel welcome and the food was delicious. This is my new favorite restaurant in St. Paul and I would definitely recommend it to anybody.

Variations of the Additive Factors Models of educational data
Annie Dong, Human Computer Interaction Institute, Carnegie Mellon, and University of Santa Barbara, California
The Additive Factors Model is a logistic regression model that attempts to find the best-fit curve for predicting students' problem step performance. We use different DataShop datasets spanning different domains in conjunction with pre- and post-test data to explore two variations of the Additive Factors Model. One variation used a log opportunity count in place of the opportunity count parameter in the Additive Factors Model. This effectively allows for bigger performance estimate increases at earlier opportunity counts compared to later opportunity counts. We demonstrate that taking the log opportunity improves the model fit based on AIC/BIC but does not alleviate the correlation between skill intercept and skill slope estimates. The second variation used linear, rather than logistic, regression to predict graded success measures rather than 0-1 first-attempt correctness for each problem step. We developed four distinct ways of quantifying graded success and explore how it improves the reliability of AFM's parameter estimates as compared to pre/post data.

Gerry Malone
Peter Gerald "Gerry" Malone (born 21 July 1950) is a British Conservative politician who was an MP from 1983–87 and 1992–97.
Born in Glasgow, Malone was educated at St Aloysius' College, Glasgow, and the University of Glasgow.
Early career[edit]
Glasgow candidacies[edit]
He was an unsuccessful Conservative candidate in the February 1974 general election in the Glasgow Provan constituency, where he was defeated by Labour's Hugh Brown. He made other unsuccessful attempts to be elected to parliament at Glasgow Pollok in October 1974, and in the Glasgow Hillhead by-election in 1982 where he lost the traditionally Conservative seat to Roy Jenkins of the SDP.
MP for Aberdeen South[edit]
He was then elected as MP for Aberdeen South in 1983 as a member of the Thatcher government, but lost the seat to Frank Doran of Labour at the 1987 general election.[1][2]
Re-entering Parliament[edit]
Seat of Winchester[edit]
He re-entered parliament in 1992, representing the "safe" Conservative seat of Winchester. He was appointed a Minister of State at the Department of Health in 1994, when Virginia Bottomley was the Secretary of State.
1997 contested seat of Winchester[edit]
Malone unexpectedly lost his Winchester seat at the 1997 general election by two votes, to the Liberal Democrat candidate Mark Oaten.[3] Malone challenged the result in the high court, and it was declared void, causing a by-election. Malone trailed Oaten by 21,566 votes in the resulting by-election.[4]
Positions within commercial enterprises[edit]
Malone was chairman of Regent-GM, one of Britain's biggest suppliers of generic drugs to the National Health Service (NHS) and a subsidiary of Nadhmi Auchi's General Mediterranean Holding.[5]
Currently, Malone is a Non Executive Chairman of Ultrasis,[6] which specialises in computerised cognitive behavioural therapy software.

To complete your award, you will originate, execute and deliver an individual extended practice-based professional project.
Utilising your knowledge of and engagement with current opportunities in the field of production, you will develop and consolidate your mastery of key skills. This final module encourages and tests your initiative and independent practice, conducted largely outside of the classroom with support from a tutor.
Throughout the course there is a strong emphasis on lecturer and peer review of your presentations and work in progress. Leading practitioners in the field often visit to deliver guest lectures throughout the course.
You will be set independent study tasks each week. These are often based on production activities - you might be posting to forums, writing blogs, producing podcasts, and making use of social media in all its forms.
Work experience is strongly encouraged and previously our students have worked on events such as The Good Food Show, The Gadget Show, and Gardeners World.
This course takes one year full time. Part-time study takes two years.
The modules are assessed through presentations, reports and practical event management experience.
For anyone interested in taking their research interests forward into an MPhil or PhD speak to the course director about your particular area of expertise.
There are two visits to the NEC as part of the course. One of these is a five-day Live Events initiative developed between Birmingham City University and the NEC, where students learn about all aspects of the operations of the NEC and get to see the set-up of a large international trade event and theatre show. Other visits are arranged to other venues throughout the duration of the course.

Your critical evaluation skills and knowledge of research traditions and current scholarship leave you equipped to communicate ideas to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. These communication skills, depth of knowledge of the industry, and both theoretical and practical skills leave you a highly desirable employee with a wide range of marketable abilities. You will complete the MA in the perfect position to either kick-start your events and exhibition management career, or take your role to the next level or in a new direction entirely.
Placements are not a compulsory part of the course but gaining work experience is greatly encouraged throughout the academic year. These can be combined with master's projects that take place from June to September. In the past, students have worked on events such as The Good Food Show, The Gadget Show and Gardeners World.

Foxboro Hot Tubs, "Dark Side of Night": I know, I know — big-time rock superstars get restless and bored. So between radio-friendly unit-shifters, they go on these incognito larks for a giggle and little else. Scott Weiland does this sorta shit under his own name and it's not so bad. The same can't be said for U2 or now Green Day's gloss on classic rack as (har har) Foxboro Hot Tubs. "Dark Side of Night" is their go at the Zombies, I guess — a) it sounds nothing like Green Day; and b) it adds zilch to the overall musical canon that wasn't already there moldering on oldies stations.
Rainbow Arabia, "Holiday in Congo": These Echo Park, California, world-popsmiths toured with Gang Gang Dance recently, and it's not difficult to understand why: ethnic chants that resolve into hiccupped exclamation marks, disciplined drum-circle ka-bum-bum-bum, staunch keyboard stabs that nail the exotic hook home with a vengeance. Promising — a duo to watch.
Foxboro Hot Tubs
Sandman, "Anchor": Hard to say which represents a greater risk for this Philly spitter: ditching the Re-Up Gang to strike out solo or utilizing a sample of Queen's "We Will Rock You," as he does here. (Hip-hop's rigid stance on alternative lifestyles: "No homo.") What's for sure: Sandman's intricate, hypnotic rhymes work fine without any assistance. What's not: just how many free-for-download mix tapes the guy will have to release before someone hands him a contract. — Ray Cummings
