Today''s classrooms are filled with children of varied backgrounds, and subject to many intrusive influences. How can teachers foster the essential skills and attitudes for success in their students? In "Positive Discipline in the Classroom, parenting experts Jane Nelsen, Lynn Lott, and H. Stephen Glenn address the popular concept of class meetings, where students and teachers discuss moral, ethical, and behavioral issues, and work together to solve problems. Students learn a number of social skills through the class-meeting process. They learn to listen, take turns, hear different points of view, negotiate, communicate, and take responsibility for their own behavior. It is only when students have these skills and attitudes--the "real "basics"--that reading, writing, and arithmetic can be used meaningfully in their lives.Inside Positive Discipline in the Classroom are chapters on such topics as: - The Positive Discipline Dream - Building Blocks for Successful Class Meetings - Effective Problem-Solving Skills - Classroom Management Skills - Teachers Helping Teachers--Problem-Solving Steps Using these, and other well-presented guidelines, teachers and parents can create a classroom climate that enhances academic learning, and teaches life-skills that are essential to every aspect of a child''s future.

The Dundonald Liberation Army is a fictitious cross-community paramilitary organization seeking the end of Lisburn rule in Dundonald, the reunification of Castlereagh Borough Council and the establishment of the People''s Republic of Dundonald. In April of 2015, the people of Dundonald woke to discover that their beloved borough of Castlereagh had been annexed by the evil overlords at Lisburn City Council. Since then the D.L.A. has strived to extricate Dundonald from the clutches of their Lisburn oppressors.

Neural networks are extremely versatile tools, as evidenced by their widespread adoption into many fields in the sciences and beyond, including the geosciences. In seismology neural networks have been primarily used to automatically detect and discriminate seismic signals within time-series data, as well as provide location estimates for their sources. However, as neural network research has significantly progressed over the past three decades, so too have its applications in seismology. Such applications now include earthquake early warning systems based on smartphone data collected from large numbers of users, the prediction of peak ground acceleration from earthquake source parameters, the efficient computation of synthetic seismograms, providing probabilistic estimates of solutions to geophysical inverse problems, and many others. This thesis contains three components, each of which explore novel uses of neural networks in seismology. In the first component, a previously established earthquake detection and location method is supplemented with a neural network in order to automate the detection process. The detection procedure is then applied to a large volume of seismic data. In addition to automating the detection process, the neural network removes the need for several user-defined thresholds, subjective criteria otherwise necessary for the method. In the second component, a novel approach is developed for inverting seafloor compliance data recorded by ocean-bottom seismometers for the shallow shear-wave velocity structure of oceanic tectonic plates. The approach makes use of mixture density networks, a type of neural network designed to provide probabilistic estimates of solutions to inverse problems, something that standard neural networks are incapable of. In the final component of this thesis, the mixture density network approach to compliance inversion is applied to a group of ocean-bottom seismometers deployed along the continental shelf of the Cascadia Subduction Zone in order to investigate shelf sediment properties.
