Mobbing is group bullying. It is 'ganging up' on someone using tactics of rumor, innuendo, discrediting, isolating, intimidating, and above all, making it look as if the targeted person is responsible. Though bullying has been prevalent in schools for many years, recent events involving the use of guns and other weapons at school show the desperate need to resolve these issues and make schools safe environments for children. Elliott explores why people, particularly children, take part in mobbing situations, and addresses how adults can teach children to have dignity and respect for themselves, which they will then extend to others.

A recent survey of 500 U.S. companies with multiple locations found
that 81% are planning to implement IP Telephony on their local area
networks (LANs) in 2003, and two-thirds are looking at convergence
for their wide area networks (WANs) as well. This includes voice,
video and data over hard line and wireless networks.
Today, new standards and technologies are being developed to
support convergence and voice over IP (VoIP) and Video over IP and
wireless. Because convergence covers the voice and data world, it
will be critical to understand all of these environments.
This book provides detailed information on convergence network
models, protocol stacks, routing algorithms, gateways and switches
required to support these networks.

"A Companion to American Technology" is a groundbreaking collection
of original essays that analyze the hard-to-define phenomenon of
'technology' in America. 22 original essays by expert scholars
cover the most important features of American technology, including
developments in automobiles, television, and computing. This book
analyzes the ways in which technologies are organized, such as in
the engineering profession, government, medicine and agriculture.
It includes discussions of how technologies interact with race,
gender, class, and other organizing structures in American society.
From the medieval farm implements used by the first colonists to
the invisible links of the Internet, the history of technology in
America is a history of society as well. Arguing that "the tools
and processes we use are a part of our lives, not simply
instruments of our purpose," historian Carroll Pursell analyzes
technology's impact on the lives of women and men, on their work,
politics, and social relationships -- and how, in turn, people
influence technological development.
Pursell shows how both the idea of progress and the mechanical
means to harness the forces of nature developed and changed as they
were brought from the Old World to the New. He describes the ways
in which American industrial and agricultural technology began to
take on a distinctive shape as it adapted and extended the
technical base of the industrial revolution. He discusses the
innovation of an American system of manufactures and the
mechanization of agriculture; new systems of mining, lumbering, and
farming, which helped conquer and define the West; and the
technologies that shaped the rise of cities.
In the second edition of The Machine in America, Pursell brings
this classic history up to date with a revised chapter on war
technology and new discussions on information technology,
globalization, and the environment.
"American Technology" is a collection of ten key essays selected
from the latest historical scholarship. The coverage ranges from
the colonial period to the modern day with the essays exploring
major technological themes including agricultural tool ownership,
working environments, the engineering profession, and the
intersection of race and gender in technology debates.
Each chapter contains an introduction by the editor, a major
article, and supporting primary documents that provide vivid images
and testimony from the historical events covered in the articles.
Also included are a general opening essay on the field by the
editor, and further reading lists, making this an ideal resource
for students of the social and cultural history of American
technology.
From factories to smartphones, Artificial Intelligence is already
taking over. Outsmarting AI is not a how-to guide on making AI
work, but making it work for YOU to boost profits and productivity.
Each development in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology brings
about apprehension and panic for the future of society and for
business. We're bombarded with stories about the impending
human-less workplace; it is no longer a question if man can be
replaced by machine in certain tasks, but when. However, AI was not
manufactured to destroy life as we know it. These emerging
technologies were developed and are constantly updating with a
particular goal in mind: optimization. AI feeds on data and
information to improve outputs and increase potential. With this
enhanced productivity, profit and productivity will be sure to
follow. Written by Brennan Pursell, a business consultant and
professor who hates jargon, and Joshua Walker, an AI pioneer with
18 years of experience in solutions and applications, Outsmarting
AI is the first plain-English how-to guide on adapting AI for the
non-coding proficient business leader. This book will help readers
to -Cut through the fog of AI hype -See exactly what AI can
actually do for people in business -Identify the areas of their
organization in most need of AI tools -Prepare and control their
data - AI is useless without it -Adopt AI and develop the right
culture to support it -Track the productivity boost, cost savings,
and increased profits -Manage and minimize the threat of crippling
lawsuits
Carroll Pursell tells the story of the evolution of American
technology since World War II. His fascinating and surprising
history links pop culture icons with landmarks in technological
innovation and shows how postwar politics left their mark on
everything from television, automobiles, and genetically engineered
crops to contraceptives, Tupperware, and the Veg-O-Matic.
Just as America's domestic and international policies became
inextricably linked during the Cold War, so did the nation's public
and private technologies. The spread of the suburbs fed into
demands for an interstate highway system, which itself became
implicated in urban renewal projects. Fear of slipping into a
postwar economic depression was offset by the creation of "a
consumers' republic" in which buying and using consumer goods
became the ultimate act of citizenship and a symbol of an "American
Way of Life."
Pursell begins with the events of World War II and the
increasing belief that technological progress and the science that
supported it held the key to a stronger, richer, and happier
America. He looks at the effect of returning American servicemen
and servicewomen and the Marshall Plan, which sought to integrate
Western Europe into America's economic, business, and technological
structure. He considers the accumulating "problems" associated with
American technological supremacy, which, by the end of the 1960s,
led to a crisis of confidence.
Pursell concludes with an analysis of how consumer technologies
create a cultural understanding that makes political technologies
acceptable and even seem inevitable, while those same political
technologies provide both form and content for the technologies
found at home and at work. By understanding this history, Pursell
hopes to advance a better understanding of the postwar American
self.

This book is a powerful reminder that, regardless of what happens
in life, you never lose your power to choose. You have the power to
decide - what you think, what you say, what you do, unless you give
that power away. Often we give our power away by reacting rather
than taking time to respond, to think and to look again. We give
our power over to situations, to the weather, to the expression on
someone's face. When we look again we can acknowledge and become
aware of how we connect as human beings. Open this book to any page
and get a quick burst of inspiration, wisdom, and perspective to
add to your day.
