Sign language launches communication, minimizes frustration
PULLMAN, Wash. - Infant/young toddler communication is often a challenge for everyone involved. It can include hand waving, indistinguishable noises, crying, screaming and tantrums. On the other side of the equation, parents, siblings and babysitters are trying to figure out what the little tikes want.

Degrees of change
Four of UNSW's original Colombo Plan students return to campus in 2012 and reflect on what their degrees meant to them and their countries.
ANU and ABC 666 Psychology Week Forum: Have we fallen out of love with women?
The glass ceiling is a term commonly used to refer to the complex and ill-defined barrier apparently separating many women from the very top levels of the workforce. To succeed at the top, women may have no choice but to put aside their feminine qualities and attributes, and assume an identity that is more traditionally male.
The experience of success for women can therefore be very different than it is for men and it appears that Australians still struggle to feel love for female public figure

Turning the Major Scales Into Melodies
This is a basic video explaining how the major scale can be used to create melodies using examples of Christmas songs. It is filmed from about the piano so that they keyboard and hands are easily seen by the viewer. (02:28)
[HTML] Hello World
This is a quick tutorial in Html basics for creating your first Hello world page. It goes through a series of steps that appear on the screen. The audio is difficult to hear. The audio must be turned up and the screen enlarged in order for students to watch. (06:22)
2.3 What does relationship mean in systematics? G.G. Simpson Dr. Patterson continues to look at Simpson’s answer to the meaning of ‘relationship’ in systematics, and illustrates this by referring to a diagrams showing how the 1.1 Introduction To the lay person, it might seem surprising that there is any problem with the recognition of higher taxa. The very existence of long-established vernacular names for inclusive groupings of species (e.g. finches, thrushes, parrots and hawks as distinct groups of birds) suggests that higher taxa are self-evident. Accordingly, the task of the taxonomist might seem merely to consist of recognising these groupings and assembling them in a hierarchy of increasingly inclusive categories.

Learning outcomes After studying this unit you should: know some basic definitions and terminology associated with scalars and vectors and how to represent vectors in two dimensions; understand how vectors can be represented in three (or more) dimensions and know both plane polar and Cartesian representations; know ways to operate on and combine vectors. Introduction This unit introduces the topic of vectors. The subject is developed without assuming you have come across it before, but the unit assumes that you have previously had a basic grounding in algebra and trigonometry, and how to use Cartesian coordinates for specifying a point in a plane.
