Revisionstation business studies resources for teachers - Home Domestic Violence Often Triggered by Jealousy Episodes of domestic violence are often triggered by sexual jealousy and accusations of infidelity, according to researchers who analyzed jailhouse calls between abusers and their victims. Researchers at Ohio State University listened to the phone conversations between 17 heterosexual couples, in which the man was locked up in a Washington state facility for felony-level domestic violence. The victims had suffered serious injuries during the attacks, including head trauma, bite wounds, strangulation and, in two cases, lost pregnancy, the researchers said. "What we were looking for was the immediate precursor — what was the one thing that happened right before the violence that was the catalyst," lead author of the study, Julianna Nemeth, said in a statement. The researchers also identified drug and alcohol use as a chronic problem in most of the relationships, as well as a factor that turned conversations into violent fights . The study was published in the Journal of Women's Health.
Technology Timesavers for Teachers - myTeachersLounge Teachers today are fortunate to have access to technological tools that make our jobs easier and minimize the paperwork involved in educating our students. I didn’t grow up with computers like today’s students did, but I’m very much on board with becoming more tech savvy and, yes, even accepting help from my students when I have technical difficulties. About a year ago I bought myself an iPad after saving for it for months. The first tool I use is DropBox and you don’t have to have an iPad to use it. DropBox is a way to store your documents “in the cloud” so that you have access to them wherever you are. I cannot tell you how liberating it was for me to kick my jump drive to the curb. I also don’t have the problem of having some files on my computer at home and some on my computer at school. That makes this control freak happy, let me tell you. The other website and free app I use is Dictionary.com. Do you see that little blue speaker up there in the upper right corner? Imagine!

Australian HIV-killing condom available in months Australian researchers have developed a virus-killing condom, and recent government approval means it's one step closer to hitting the market. Vivagel is a newly developed antiviral compound that has been shown to disable 99.9 percent of HIV, herpes, and other sexually transmitted viruses in laboratory tests. Developed by Australian biotech firm Starpharma, the gel has been incorporated into condoms made by Ansell, the world’s second largest condom manufacturer, to help stem the spread of these viruses. As reported by Michael Janda at ABC News, these special virus-killing condoms have now received Conformity Assessment Certification from Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), which means they should be available to consumers in Australia within months. That’s the good news, but the researchers caution that no condoms are 100 percent effective in preventing either pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections.
Craft, DIY, Art, and Beauty: Detailed Self-Portrait DIY Every couple of years, in some medium, I do a self-portrait. It's interesting to go back through them and reflect. Here's how I did mine this year. It's an Indian ink silouette filled with everything that makes me...well...me. I simply took a profile photo of myself, taped it to the window during a sunny day, and held a piece of drawing paper over the printed photo and traced my image. Then, I just filled it in with little pieces of me. UPDATE: After an overwhelmingly good response from the internets (I call two comments on one post an overwhelmingly good response) I've decide to post these portraits to my etsy store for custom order.
