Forum Files #14: Who Is Mr. Royal Rumble? Win a Prize!
Post in here until Monday January 22 for a chance to make the main page.
Todays Topic: Who is Mr. Royal Rumble?
Were less than ten days away from the 2018 Royal Rumble, marking thirty years since the first show. There have been a host of different winners over the years and that brings up a question: who is Mr. Royal Rumble? Shawn Michaels is Mr. Wrestlemania, but who has performed the best over the years at the first major show of the year? To clarify: Im talking about the Royal Rumble pay per view as a whole, not just the Royal Rumble itself.
Could it be Steve Austin, who won more times than anyone else? Or maybe Hulk Hogan, who won two of the first four? Maybe Kane, who has been in more and eliminated more people than anyone else? It could be anyone, and thats what we want to know from you. Let us know who you think and see if youre on the road to the main page!
One more thing: the best post of the bunch will receive a special prize. You can get more information about it here:
Looks like I'll go first boys. So to be honest when I first saw the question I had no idea who should be Mr Royal Rumble. We all know the main stats: Most eliminations Kane, Most wins Austin, and Rey Mysterio having longest single time. So I decided to dig deeper into the stats and after I did that in my opinion Mr. Royal Rumble is none other than the all time great Stone Cold Steve Austin. Here are my stats showing why he is the Mr. Royal Rumble.
Stone Cold has not only the most Royal Rumble victories (3) but is the only man to win the Rumble more than once and NEVER lose a title match. In fact, he is the last man when there is only 1 Heavy Weight Champion to not win the Rumble then win the belt. Stone Cold is tied for first with most back to back wins (Hogan, Michaels). Now while Stone Cold may only rank #3 with most eliminations in history he is the only man to have most eliminations three consecutive years AND has the most Royal Rumbles eliminations in a single match with 4. As far as longest cumulative time Stone Cold may not rank up in the top 5 BUT he is tied first with longest time in a single Royal Rumble match at 2 (Triple H, Benoit, Jericho, Punk).
Now some of you may disagree and may even have other stats to back your opinions. However, Stone Cold not only holds many records but is in the top 5 in a majority of any stats you look at. Top that with the best winning percentage facing the Champ after winning the Rumble then in my opinion those are the biggest stats to go by. Ladies and Gentlemen your Mr Royal Rumble, STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!
The Royal Rumble event itself is undoubtedly the most consistent pay-per-view the WWE produces in it's calender year. It lays the foundation for WWE's upcoming year, it features some exciting matches and most of all, it's officially the start of the best time in any wrestling fans life, the road to Wrestlemania. Guys like Kane, Triple H, Rey Mysterio and Shawn Michaels all made a name for themselves in various Rumble matches and calling any of them Mr. Royal Rumble is certainly a claim that can be validated with solid reasoning. But none of them reached the level of success as the greatest professional wrestler of all time, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
His stats are unmatched. Without boring you with the details he's successfully won in consecutive years like very few have been able to do. While Shawn Michaels has accomplished this feat, he did it at a time when the WWF was at it's weakest points. Austin achieved this while wrestling was at its peak and had others like Hart, Mankind, The Rock, Triple H, Angle, Undertaker and Kane gunning for that top spot. Out of the 6 total Royal Rumble matches that Austin participated, he managed to eliminate 36 competitors. Considering Kane (the record holder at 44) has been in 13 more Rumble matches than Austin, that's pretty impressive. He's had a combined time of 2:34:12 and has won the match a total of 3 times.
Austin's stats are imposing, no doubt. In fact they're unmatched at this point. But what makes Austin the Royal Rumble mvp is his ability to entertain. Every single Rumble match Austin took part in was memorable (with the exception of '96 under the Ringmaster moniker). That's a title he'll always hold over every single one of the 900 competitors to step foot in a Royal Rumble match. He was a vital part in making the Royal Rumble event the massive entity it is today.
From 1996 to 2002 the WWE produced the most memorable Royal Rumble matches to date and with Austin winning 3 out of the 6 during those highlighted years, he's your guy. Austin is to The Royal Rumble match what The Undertaker is to the casket match or Mick Foley is to the Hell in a Cell match. He's synonymous with the event more so than anyone. In reality, if your Mr. Royal Rumble is anyone but Stone Cold Steve Austin, you're dead wrong here and you deserve a Stunner. A royal one.
Kane. Kane is the answer.
Whilst the case could be made for a number of superstars (namely Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin), Kane should be considered the best Royal Rumble superstar of all time.
First of all, he has, by far, been in the most Royal Rumble matches. If you compile all of his appearances under different aliases, Kane has taken part in 19 Royal Rumble matches - a feat that is matched by absolutely no one.
Furthermore, he holds the record for most eliminations in Royal Rumble matches with 42 career eliminations. Again, no is even close to that. And when you consider that everyone who comes immediately after him on that list are retired and Kane is still going, it should give you an idea as to how impressive that stat is. He also holds the record for most consecutive Royal Rumble matches too with 13. Incredible stuff.
In fact, had it not been for Vince's love for Roman Reigns, Kane would still hold the record for most eliminations in one Rumble - a record that should never have been broken if you ask me.
He should have joined the list of winners in 2001 but that's another story for another day...
I'm gonna go with someone who hasn't been mentioned at all yet. Chris Jericho.
He's spent more cumulative time in the Rumble than anyone else, clocking in at nearly 5 hours which is really incredible when you think about it. Think of all the names that have been in Rumble matches before. Triple H? Surpasses him by nearly an hour, the same goes for Shawn Michaels and Kane who many have dubbed the, "King of the Rumble". When you take his cumulative time and divide it by the number of Rumble matches he's been in, you get an average of 30 minutes per Rumble meaning that when he enters the Rumble, he's almost guaranteed to last AT LEAST half of the match! He's made it it to numerous final fives, fours, and made it to the final two in 2012. And last year, he became only one of six men to last one hour in a Royal Rumble match.
I don't think the fact that he's never won should be held against him. We regard Shawn Michaels as Mr. WrestleMania despite the fact that he has a pretty dreadful record at the Show of Shows. It's about the performance, and you can't deny Jericho's.
Outside of the Rumble match itself, his numbers are even more impressive. He carries a record of 3 wins to 1 loss. All three of those wins have come when a championship was on the line. He's successfully defended both the Undisputed and Intercontinental Championships at the event.
I know his name isn't the first one you think of when you hear, "Royal Rumble" but whether he's making history in the match itself or coming out on top when the stakes are high and championships are on the line, I don't think you're going to find a better overall performer at the Royal Rumble.
Look at these Ultralight Beams flowin'
It may sound pretty corny to some, but I believe John Cena is Mr. Royal Rumble.
Now hear me out, Ever since he made his debut, Cena has never missed out on competing at the Royal Rumble (with the exclusion of 2016), whether it was in the Royal Rumble match himself, or in a singles match. Despite somewhat sloppy performances in his first 2 Rumble appearances, John Cena shined in the 2005 Royal Rumble, becoming the last to be eliminated after him and Batista alone had to restart the Rumble.
After coming close the previous year, John Cena missed out on taking part in the Royal Rumble as he went on to compete against Edge for the WWE Championship, which Cena went on to win for the second time in his career. In the following year, Cena went on to successfully retain his WWE Championship in a Last Man Standing match against Umaga (who at the time was unstoppable).
After suffering an Injury that had an estimated recovery time of 6 months to 1 year, Cena returned at the 2008 Royal Rumble and went on to win the Royal Rumble match by last eliminating Triple H. The eruption Cena received from the WWE Universe on his return that night is now one of the most infamous moments in Royal Rumble History. In the 2009 Royal Rumble, John Cena went on to successfully defend his World Heavyweight Championship against JBL.
In 2010 & 2011, John Cena competed in the Royal Rumble Match once again, becoming the last person to be eliminated once again in 2010, being eliminated by the returning Edge. In 2011, John Cena would put on a strong showing, eliminating 7 people (tied with the most eliminations in that match with CM Punk) before being eliminated by an outside interference by The Miz. John Cena would then go on to compete in a singles match against Kane on the 2012 edition of the Royal Rumble, which resulted in a double count-out.
In 2013, John Cena went on to win his second Royal Rumble Match in his career by eliminating Ryback. After this however, John Cena would then be unsuccessful in regaining the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in both 2014 & 2015, losing to Randy Orton in 2014 and the triple threat between Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar and himself. It wasn't until Royal Rumble 2017 where Cena defeated AJ Styles to not only regain the WWE Championship, but to tie with Ric Flair with the most World Championship wins with 16. This year, John Cena is looking for a 3rd Royal Rumble victory, which will tie him with Stone Cold Steve Austin for the most Royal Rumble wins.
Now why is John Cena Mr. Royal Rumble and not someone like Kane or Stone Cold Steve Austin? Well despite Kane having competed in the most Royal Rumbles as well as the most eliminations, he had never won a Royal Rumble in his career. As for Austin, although Austin has had more success in the Royal Rumble match than Cena, Cena has a lot more Success in the Royal Rumble PPV overall than what Austin did.
Without including Royal Rumble eliminations (The royal rumble match eliminations doesnt effect streaks) John Cena has a record of 6-2-1 at the Royal Rumble PPV, A record that is a very good standing for the title of Mr. Royal Rumble.

Legislation strengthens current law by including mandatory lockdown drills
State Sen. Rob Ortt, R-C-I-North Tonawanda, announced Monday a provision of his legislation to require mandatory lockdown drills in school districts across the state has been signed into law as part of the recently enacted $155.6 billion New York state budget. The measure would mandate a minimum of four lockdown drills be carried out in the first half of the school year.
"It's surprising that, after the numerous horrific school attacks over the past two decades, sensible legislation such as this hasn't already been adopted," Ortt said. "This amended law holds the safety of our children to a higher standard. It's vital that we prepare our school districts as best we can in order to respond quickly and efficiently before, during and after an incident. I'm hopeful that, with this new requirement in place, it could prevent a bad situation from becoming worse and help save lives."
Currently, lockdowns are recommended, but not required in school districts. The revised law lessens the required amount of fire drills in a school year and replaces those drills with scenario-based lockdowns.
New York state law mandated at least 12 fire drills in school districts annually. Now, schools will be required to conduct a minimum of eight fire drills and at least four lockdown drills from September to the end of December.
A lockdown would be executed if there were an imminent threat of violence in or around the school. The purpose of a lockdown is to ensure all school staff, students and visitors are secured in rooms away from immediate danger in order to minimize injury or death and neutralize the threat. A lockdown involves clearing the hallways, locking classroom doors and hiding students from view in a pre-designated "safe area" within the room. No one is allowed to leave until the situation has been resolved.
The act will take effect July 1.

By John Lloyd
(Reuters) - Masha Lipman, one of the great chroniclers of Russian politics, told a story at a conference I attended outside of Moscow earlier this week. It was about two scholars who, in a recent discussion about the history of Russia and the Soviet Union, fell into a savage argument. One saw the end of the Soviet Union as a tragedy, the other as a release from tyranny. So radical and bitter was the disagreement that they came to blows, an unheard of event in the generally decorous world of Russian academia.
Lipman also noted that, in a discussion in the Duma (parliament), several deputies called for the abolition of the country's Independence Day on June 12, established in 1990. One suggested moving the date to whenever National Day took place in the 10th century, when "Rus" was first formed in Kiev, now the capital of Ukraine. This was a none too subtle way of saying that Russia was once a Slavic empire, and could be again.
Russia's President, Vladimir Putin, might agree with the deputies. It would be surprising if he did not. He is, after all, the same man who said in 2005 that the end of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century.
Putin and the Russians have Russia, of course, which for the first time since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 is a state that has defined borders, an elected president and parliament, and a democratic constitution that offers a swathe of citizens' rights.
But, several Russians said to me at the conference, what is Russia, after all? Why should its political connection be severed from states that it once dominated like Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia and Central Asia? And above all, the old question: "Kuda Rossiya?" Where is Russia going? To what does it aspire? Where does it want to come to rest?
It isn't at rest now. It's been restless since tens of thousands of demonstrators turned out on the streets to protest falsified elections, corruption and much else in 2011 and 2012, and has remained so even after the re-election of Putin last year as president.
The foreign policy analyst Dmitri Trenin told me that the country's foreign policy stance has changed fundamentally for the fourth time while Putin has been on the scene in Russia.
In 2000 it started with a policy open to closer relations with the U.S. and Europe, then changed to a resentful retreat into a Eurasian redoubt when it felt repelled by the West, changed again to an attempt to reset relations when Dmitry Medvedev was allowed by Putin to be president for one term, then finally back again to Eurasia on Putin's return.
But where does that take it? There's no prospect of a re-integration of any of the former parts of the Soviet Union. Russia would demand to be first among un-equals, which the new elites of all of these states, even the closest to Russia like Belarus, couldn't tolerate.
To be sure, Russian tanks brought Georgia to heel in 2008 when it tried to take back its regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which prefer rule from Moscow to that of Tbilisi. But even under a new, more Russia-friendly president in Bidzina Ivanishvili, Georgia isn't about to either give up its claim on these regions or go back to its years of dependence. A stony dislike of the West has its satisfactions for Putin, who seems to enjoy being disliked. But if he renounces Europe he has no other welcoming place to go.
It's at home though where the real confusion is. A sentence of five years was passed last week on the lawyer and opposition leader Alexei Navalny on a charge of embezzlement, a charge that his defense was not allowed to properly contest, and which was instantly followed by the prosecution requesting that he be allowed to remain free pending an appeal. That allows him to contest the election for Moscow mayor in September, which he had long intended to do. That the prosecution should be so fervent that he remain in the public eye suggests a Kremlin that regrets its actions against its most prominent opponent, because it endangered the appearance of an open electoral battle between the current mayor and Navalny. In Putin's political constructs, appearances are all.
Putin has had great, long-running success in his domination of Russia. He brought most Russians relief from poverty as rising oil and gas prices filled coffers and allowed wages, pensions and welfare payments to be made in full and on time. He ground down the hated Chechens in a brutal war early in his first presidency, and installed a thuggish president who has proven both loyal and successfully repressive. He paid apparently sincere homage to a past Soviet time, and asserted a neo-liberal fiscal conservatism in the economy, which he put in the hands of liberals. He presided over a huge expansion of the middle class but also over a machine for corrupt enrichment that has, it's estimated, made him and a number of his close allies into billionaires. He allowed some opposition papers and magazines and a lively and often highly critical Internet and cracked down hard on people like the Pussy Riot group and Alexei Navalny.
He has yoked together opposites and sought to give Russian society a unity. The party he formed in his support is called United Russia. For most of the past 13 years, it has worked. But now, Russia, at least its cities and especially its capital, is entering the modern and even post-modern world, and its society is splintering into diverse shards, as free societies tend to do.
It needs an administration that eschews the search for a fake unity, but instead seeks support from varied groups for good governance. It needs more space for a genuinely independent civil society, in which institutions have autonomy recognized and protected, by a state that does not attempt to quash them. This is where Russia must go: towards democracy. It's the only way that holds the promise of clean government, and empowers men and women in power to serve others rather than enrich themselves. There are people — politicians, officials, professionals — who wish to do that. Time they were honored, not imprisoned.

Boyfriend Jonathan Stuart Kenney held in murder of trans woman Janette Tovar of Dallas, who was known for her vibrant personality
Friends, family members — and seemingly everyone who came into contact with Janette Tovar — will forever remember her vibrant personality and infectious smile.
Tovar died Oct. 15 after she and her boyfriend Jonathan Stuart Kenney fought. She was 43.
The Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office ruled her death a homicide, with the cause of death listed as blunt force trauma to the head. Kenney was later arrested in connection with her murder. As of press time, Kenney remained in the Dallas County jail in lieu of a $500,000 bond.
Kenney, 26, who police listed as Tovar's life partner, allegedly committed murder Monday morning at 6:20 a.m. when he slammed Tovar's head into the concrete in the 830 block of W. Davis Street. He then continued to assault her when they returned home at 918 W. Eighth Street.
Police responded to a 911 call after Kenney found her "not breathing and unresponsive" later that day and administered CPR. The apartment manager told police he heard the couple fighting that morning and said he often heard them fighting since he lives beneath their apartment.
Marisa Anguiano, Tovar's cousin, said she and Tovar, a bar promoter, were inseparable for the last two decades, seeing each other at least twice a week for drinks, laughs and good times at The Grapevine Bar on Maple Avenue, one of Tovar's favorite hangouts.
"She always had a smile on her face. She was always positive," she said.
Anguiano said Tovar's presence lit up any room she entered, adding while laughing that Tovar had a signature hair flip followed by the phrases "Hey, mama!" or "I got you, girl!"
Police reports initially listed Tovar by her legal name of Jesus instead of Janette.
Detective Laura Martin, DPD's LGBT liaison, said police didn't know she was transgender because the case was treated like any other homicide and listed only Tovar's legal name.
Tovar came out as transgender about two decades ago, Anguiano said. She said Tovar's large family was supportive of the beautiful and passionate woman she was.
"There was not a person in the family who didn't love her and accept her for who she was," she said. "She was like a mother, a sister, a confident to so many people."
Tovar and Kenney had been dating for about a year and a half and moved in together a few months ago, Anguiano said. While Tovar had some troubled relationships in the past, Kenney was different, she said.
"They were so much in love. There was not a fault to be found," she said. "They were the couple that everyone wanted to be."
Although Kenney was known for becoming belligerent occasionally, Anguiano said there were never any signs of abuse until the Sunday evening before Tovar died. Kenney drank more than usual and the two fought at the Grapevine.
Tovar ended up leaving with friends but later took a cab home, telling friends if they didn't hear from her that she was probably dead.
Anguiano said that side of the story is important because Tovar's death was tragic and untimely. She said she wished she knew about the abuse before she lost her beloved cousin.
Tovar's longtime friend Freddy Alvarado grew up with Tovar in East Dallas, meeting her at 16.
"We practically raised each other," he said. "We helped each other come out."
Alvarado moved to Florida a few years ago, but said he met Kenney during a visit in May. He said that while he'd heard rumors about abuse, the reality of it was hard to believe after seeing the couple together.
"He was like prince charming," he said. "He was a gentleman."
Alvarado said he hopes Tovar's death brings awareness to abuse against the trans community and to domestic abuse.
"We don't want this to be brushed under the rug," he said. "People need to know that there's still abuse out there no matter if you're a man or a woman."
Joe Cantu met Tovar when they were both teenagers. He said she was very social from the day they met, leading to many adventures in the decades they were friends.
Cantu was out of town when the news of Tovar's death reached him, but he said he still can't come to terms that she's gone and still expects her to call him up for a laugh.
"She was just full of life," Cantu said. "I remember her laughter, her willingness to help anyone out when she could, her warm personality and her giving nature. She loved people and everyone loved her."
Wayne Akard is one of the many people who met Tovar at the Grapevine, meeting her about 13 years ago while working on the bar's remodeling projects.
He said everyone who met her at the bar cared for her because of her kindness and humor. He said he would remember her going around the bar picking up glasses to help out just because she wanted to.
"She saw it needed to be done and she'd do it," he said. "She was nice to everybody. She was a friend to everybody."
Akard attended a candlelight vigil on Thursday, Oct. 18, at the bar in honor of Tovar. He said about 200 people showed up to pray and remember the woman that was so dear to them.
Tovar is survived by her parents, four brothers and a sister. A service for friends and family will be held in the future but had not yet been scheduled.
Tovar's family created the Facebook page "In Loving Memory of Janette Tovar" as an outlet to share photos and memories.

Mackenzie Carr, who is the 2011 Miss Rodeo Oregon, was crowned with the national title on Dec. 10 at the 2012 Miss Rodeo America pageant in Las Vegas. She is a 2008 graduate of Vernonia High School, a member of the Columbia County Horse 4-H for nine years and studied civil engineering for two years at Oregon State University.
In addition to the 2012 Miss Rodeo America crown, Carr received top awards at the national competition for her speech, appearance, horsemanship and was the recipient of the Raeana Wadhams Spirit Award.
The national competition was established in 1955, and is similar to other pageants in that the contestants vie for top spots based on their appearance, outfits and charisma. But the Miss Rodeo America has a few additional requirements: the women must also ride and direct horses along certain patterns laid out for them by judges.
Carr's mother, Barb Carr, said on the Miss Rodeo Oregon blog that she handled the challenge of the horsemanship competition well.
"She moved that big guy out, sat him down nicely for a stop, rolled him back and took right off," said Barb Carr, according to the blog. "She definitely showed enthusiasm and aggressiveness in her ride. And most importantly she was sporting a huge smile when it was over."
As Miss Rodeo America, Carr will serve as the "official spokesperson for the sport of professional rodeo...," according to the pageant's website, and will promote the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.
She will travel an estimated 100,000 miles during her year-long reign, appearing at about 100 rodeo performances, and will also make appearances at schools, before civic groups and other special events.
Carr will succeed 2011 Miss Rodeo America, McKenzie Haley, of South Dakota.
On the blog entry announcing Carr's coronation, Barb Carr was quoted as saying, ""Thank you all for your kind words and congrats. Your support has meant everything to all of us. As can be imagined we are all a little stunned and still in shock at the moment..."
Aside from her duties as Miss Rodeo America, Carr said she plans to transfer from Oregon State University to another school to study for an architectural degree.

Density of Gases
Lesson 3 of 11
Objective: Students will be able to use a model to determine that densities of gases are extremely low compared to the densities of liquids and solids.
Big Idea: This investigation uses a simple method that allows for capturing the gas released from a chemical reaction to help students determine the density of the released gas.
In my class this lab comes on the heels of our lab on measuring the density of solids and liquids. I have found that many students do not understand that gases have different densities, or any at all as most have had little in the way of focused observation and measurement of gasses up to now.
For this activity we begin by predicting and measuring the mass of an empty balloon and the same balloon filled with air. From this engage, we get students thinking about the properties of air.
Next we move on the the lab where students will first determine the volume of gas released from a chemical reaction and then repeat to determine the mass of the gas produced.
I would budget two classes for this lesson.
- 2 balloons (12 ")
- bucket of water
- 100 ml graduated cylinder
- 600 ml griffin beaker, 100ml beaker
- Water
- 2 antacid tablets (keep these dry until use!)
- Piece of aluminum foil
- Good eyesight and quick reflexes
To pique students ideas, I show them an empty balloon and a filled balloon and ask them to tell me how we can measure the properties of the gas inside the balloon (mass, volume, density). Give the students time to respond and collect their ideas.
Having already completed a lab where they use water immersion to determine the volume of an irregular solid, my students will figure out that they can use this same technique to determine the volume of the gas inside the filled balloon and use this along with the difference in the masses of the filled and empty balloon to calculate the density.
Time permitting, you could have a bucket of water and demonstrate this with a student helper.
Instructions for Finding Volume
- Inflate the balloon.
- Fill the bucket with enough water to fully immerse the balloon.
- Fully immerse the balloon in the bucket of water. Using a marker, mark on the inside of the bucket the level to which the water rises.
- Remove the balloon. Using the measuring container, add water to the bucket until the water level reaches the mark.
- Record how much water was added in cubic centimeters. This is the volume of the air in the balloon.
Finding the Mass and Density
- Completely dry the balloon.
- Place the balloon on the electronic balance, and record the mass in kilograms.
- Break the balloon close to the neck. Weigh the broken balloon, and record the mass in kilograms.
- Subtract the weight of the broken balloon from the weight of the balloon filled with air. This number is the air's mass. Record the mass in kilograms.
- Divide the mass by the volume. This number is the density of the air. Make sure that the density is expressed in kilograms per meter.
You might also try this as a "design a lesson" where you challenge students to come up with a procedure and test out their ideas.
Here is a video of some of my students working through how to plan their investigation:
Here is a student's lab page of her directions for "design a lab"
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Before starting this lab you will need one set of the following material for each group of 3-4 students:
- 100 ml graduated cylinder
- 600 ml griffin beaker
- 100ml beaker
- Water
- 2 antacid tablets (keep these dry until use!)
- Piece of aluminum foil (2" x 2")
For this lab it is a good idea to model the procedure first as it can be a bit tricky for students to capture the antacid tablet under the cylinder. They have to be quick. Anticipate that some will make mistakes and have extra supplies ready to go. I recommend practicing it on your own and then demonstrate the procedure for your students.
I start by reading over the lab with my students and demonstrating the procedure with a complete set of lab supplies. This is one of the first labs of the school year for me and I find it good practice to model for my students how to prepare for and conduct a lab because most seasoned teachers will know that students will rush right into the lab, make mistakes and you'll be running around helping groups start over and this can easily turn into a 2 day lesson if not managed well.
If you are using lab notebooks, I encourage you to have your students complete the data collection and observations in the notebook rather than on a worksheet. If you want them to hand something in, consider just the follow up questions.
Once they get started on the lab, work with the students who you know will need the most support to get started then move around the room to see how the rest are doing. Occasionally I will stop the class and pose a question or make a clarifying statement as needed.
Once the lab is completed have students clean up and work on the reflections questions.
Below are samples of student follow up responses from two different classes. Note the differences individual class data (#1). How might we as teachers address these discrepancies? Kids want to have the "right" answer.

If time permits after all groups are done and cleaned up then start reviewing the results of the lab. This will most likely happen on the next class day.
Begin by review the data collected by all the groups. I like to create a large class data chart and have a member from each group come up and report out their data. This is a critical step in communicating our observations since we know that not all groups will have the same data. It is telling for you as the teacher how well the groups did in following the directions in order to get data close to the "right" answer.
I strive to help my students making reasonable and reliable generalizations. At this point we can start to emphasize key vocabulary and push students thinking to start using the vocabulary when explaining their understanding.
Spend time with each reflection question.
- What is the class average for alka seltzer gas
- Why did you have to mass the materials before and after the gas escaped?
- Why was there less mass after the experiment was over?
- The correct value for the density of this gas is .002. The density of air is about .0013. If we let this gas out, would it rise or sink?
- This gas is carbon dioxide. How is it different from air?
Remember, Activity Before Content (ABC) and Content Before Vocabulary (CBV). Pull the students into the science and guide them in making meaning. With that said it is important to identify some common misconceptions that may come arise.
The following is quoted from an article on Understanding Density from Causal Patterns in Science
What are typical misconceptions or difficulties in students' understanding of density that relate to causal structure?
• Students substitute weight for density. They assume that heavier objects are denser without considering weight per size.
• Students find it hard to attend to two variables at once and focus on the relationship between them as understanding density requires. They attend to only one variable at a time (weight, size, shape, etc.) Often they attach more importance to one variable than the others.
• When learning about density, students often think that density cannot change.
Textbooks that present the concept of a standard, but are not clear that it is under certain conditions of temperature and pressure can lead to this misunderstanding. This makes it difficult for students to understand a host of real world phenomena. They need to understand that if the variables in the relationship change, then the density can change.
Students think that….
• Weight is additive and so is density, so if you have twice as much material, you have twice as much weight and twice as much density. (Again, this stems from an undifferentiated weight/density concept).
• Volume is additive and so is density, so if you have twice as much material, you have twice as much volume and twice as much density.
• Heavy things sink and light things float.
• Objects either sink or float and it is possible to make a list of "sinkers" and "floaters."
What are other (non-causality-related) typical misconceptions or difficulties in students' understanding of density?
Students think that…
• Fluids (especially gases) are not "materials" and don't have density. Gases have no mass and therefore no density.
• The spaces in between the particles of an object are air. (They can be in some instances of mixed density where air molecules fit in the gaps in the object material, but the spaces between particles are typically not air.)
• Differences in felt weight are always due to one object being hollow (or mixed density).
• Objects that don't have felt weight do not have weight at all. (Students often use felt-weight as their concept of weight so they think that tiny visible pieces of Styrofoam have no weight at all because you can't feel any pressure on your hand.)
• Materials cease to exist when they are no longer visible. Students think that the material kind of the object or substance only maintains its identity if large-scale perceptual properties are preserved.
• Wood always floats.
• Plastic always floats.
• Hollow objects always float (when it actually depends upon the ratio of the density of surrounding material to the inside air and how that ratio compares to the density of the liquid.)
• Particles (or atoms) are very different sizes.
• Frozen means that something feels cold to the touch (rather than the scientific meaning that it is in a solid state.)
A really nice extension to this lab is to have students approximate the density of the air in the room. You can give them the average density of air (1.29 kilograms per cubic meter) and have them calcualte the rest. Here is a sample script.
How Heavy is the Air in the room?
Big Ideas: Air has mass.
How much would you say the weight of all the air in this room weighs?
Let's find out.
1. Measure the length, width, and height in meters of the room for which you want the mass of air. As an illustration say your room has length = 3.7 m (12 ft), width = 3 m (10 ft), and height = 4.3 m (14 ft).
2. Compute the volume of your room in cubic meters by multiplying length x width x height. In the example, the volume is 3.7 m x 3 m x 4.3 m which equals 47.73 m^3 (cubic meters).
3. Calculate the mass of the air in your room in kilograms by multiplying the density of air by the volume. The actual density of air is 1.29 kilograms per cubic meter. Continuing the example you have a total air mass of 1.29 kg / m^3 x 47.73 m^3 = 61.57 kg.

No. 1 Calvin sweeps Hope
Roundup: No. 3 Wittenberg rolls past Ohio Wesleyan
HOLLAND, Mich. -- Top-ranked Calvin extended its undefeated season with a quick, three-set sweep against Hope (26-24, 25-20, 25-16).
Lizzie Kamp led the Knights with 13 kills, Rebecca Kamp added 10 and Erin VanderPlas had eight in the win which lasted one hour and 12 minutes. Megan Rietema dished out 32 assists among six different attackers, effectively keeping the Hope defense on its heels. For Rebecca Kamp, the match was an opportunity for the Knights to prove their capabilities against their rival, something they failed to do on more than one occasion last season.
"We finally did what we knew what we could do and played the way we know we can play," she said.
With the win, Calvin improved its record to 15-0 and 7-0 in conference. The loss dropped Hope to 12-2 overall and 5-1 in the MIAA.
No. 3 Wittenberg 3, Ohio Wesleyan 0
DELAWARE, Ohio -- Wittenberg improved to 13-1 overall and 5-0 in North Coast Athletic Conference action with a sweep of Ohio Wesleyan Wednesday night at Branch Rickey Arena.
Behind set scores of 25-8, 25-12 and 25-14, the Tigers racked up a team hitting percentage of .404, while holding the Battling Bishops to 15 kills against 18 errors. The match lasted just one hour and 11 minutes.
Leading the Wittenberg offense was freshman setter Courtney Lauber, who set both a Tiger season-best and a personal, collegiate-best with 32 assists in the match.
Lauber dished double-digit assists to two Tiger hitters, freshman Ali Hock-James and sophomore Andrea Behling. Hock-James led the team with 11 kills while Behling hit for 10 kills on an attack percentage of .533.

Vacations are a chance to take a break from work, see the world and enjoy time with family and loved ones. Vacations do boosts one's well being, relieves stress that can leave an impact on health and helps one to regain the energy to get back to work. Holding back the finances and the work stress or not knowing how to properly set up a vacation one should trust their guts and pack their baggage for a mesmerizing break. Engaging in activity one has never done before is equally exciting as living in an exquisite location when on a holiday or vacation.
The types of villas available
Enjoying the most awaited holidays in the most exquisite locations and spending time with your loved ones in the villas just set the right chord of satisfaction and fulfillment. There are generally two types of villas- a normal villa and a premium villa. If one wants to enjoy the utmost one should choose the latter. There are actually four qualities that make a villa premium –Location, facilities, view, and cost. Location of the villa is decided where there is proper connectivity of transports, facilities of grocery stores, entertainment zones, shopping mass and tourist places. In most of the cases, the scenic villas turn out to be the first priority of the travelers.
An array of facilities to improve your stay
The facilities provided in the scenic villas are way better than the five-star hotels. The facilities are of personalized gyms, swimming pool, personalized kitchen, well-decorated bedrooms, television facility, and free Wi-Fi facility. Each moment in the villa will be memorable and enjoyable. Vacationers always prefer a place from where they can enjoy a good view of places around. Keeping this into account most of the scenic villas are located in places around tourist attractions.
Generally, the construction of these villas is constructed in such a way that the doors, windows are not blocked by any other external boundaries like walls or gates. The fresh air swings in freely giving positive vibes and energy for the vacationers. Now, the cost of the villa depends on two significant factors i.e., quality and service rendered. A costly villa is more inclined towards providing qualitative and beneficial services to their clients. A villa should be booked by checking the services provided. When booking a villa one should also take notice of the location which generally people prefer to be less noisy and more peaceful, but the security should also be taken into consideration. A villa should be booked with prior research done and its surroundings, maintenance of the villa should be given the highest priority, whenever you are looking for accommodation.

The nature of social work is for people who love helping people. I say love because you have to have the heart for social work and the people you are trying to help. Social worker join this field to enlighten their clients lives. Social workers, depending on what part of the field one enters they can help people with mental illness, families with problems, school children, people with addictions and criminal problems, people who have problems in finding and keeping jobs, and they help senior citizens and families who are looking into nursing homes and caregivers. There are many different working condition social workers. They work a standard 40 hour week, some work weekend and go to community event to meet with clients. Social work can be emotionally draining do to understaffing and heavy caseload and pressure from their agencies. In the year 2000 social workers held 468,000 jobs. The majority of the jobs are located in state, county, or municipal government. Child, family, and school social workers held about 281,000 jobs. Medical and public health social workers held 104,000 of the jobs. Mental health and substance abuse social workers held 83,000 of the jobs. Employment is expected to grow faster then the average job. There are two degrees available to become a social worker. There are the bachelor and masters degrees. A bachelor degree is the minimum requirement to enter the field. Some agencies ask that you have a degree in psychology or sociology. The masters degree is needed to work in the mental and health areas. Social workers also have to be licensed to enter field that related to the health field. The social work field is expected to grow until the year 2010. The number of jobs in hospital will become larger because of older people leave families to stay in...

I shall discuss gender as an inequality. I am mindful that there are no hierarchies of anti-oppressive practice and that the issues of 'race', class, sexuality, disability and age bear equal importance, but as I have discussed in previous essays, whilst each oppressed group is distinct, the issues can be transposed from one area to another. Gender, in this case, simply provides a tool for analysis. I drew upon anti-oppressive practice, with particular relevance to gender and 'race', in order to inform a discussion that is relevant for youth and community workers in practice today. In examining these crucial issues Introduction: This essay attempts to define the concept of anti oppressive practice. I have tried to illustrate through both personal dealings, as a supervisor of a multi care agency, and, factual information how the asylum seekers within the St Helens community have suffered oppression at the hands of both the other existing communities they are expected to co exist with, as well as, the service providers. I then go on to demonstrate what I was able to do and actually achieved when providing a service and assistance to this particular minority group. During my time working within the St Helens borough I was stationed at Warrington Road. An area that was predominantly a council housing estate, high-rise flats and maisonettes also featured in this district. Its population was approximately 40,000 people, from varying social and religious backgrounds. Unemployment was high. I had worked in the area for over six years and in more recent years I noticed an increase in the number of asylum seekers being placed in the community. Particularly being concentrated around the Clock Face area of St Helens. The initial problem this sector of the community faced was access to the state welfare provisions. Complex and strict qualifying regulations had identified that asylum seekers live...

Individual, Locality and Structural 1. Apply each of the three categories to the attached case scenario. 2. Each of the three categories of explanations suggests policies that are based on the nature of each explanation. Identify what policies might be suggested by each of the three explanations in relation to the case scenario. 3. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of each of these explanations in relation to the case scenario. A responsibility of social work is to provide for people in society who are in positions of weakness, stress or vulnerability. Social work is a service that operates in response to human need. To perpetuate change on a large scale a social workers capacity for accurate communication and empathy have to be allied to a broader appreciation of the way that environments impact on different individuals and groups (Blackburn 1992). Social workers can make an important contribution to developing and understanding the balances that exist between stressful and supportive elements at individual, local and structural levels. Social work can play an important role in developing policies to combat social problems. After giving a brief explanation of the three terms local, 'individual, locality and structural' I will examine a number of areas within the case scenario; these are the problems of unemployment, delinquency, and the general lack of a positive environment. I will present the policies, generally linked to the field of social work, suggested by each of the terms in relation to these problems. To gain a better perspective of the important issues I will attempt to identify the strengths and weaknesses of these explanations in relation to the case scenario. Social work at a individual level in broad terms is concerned with response to a social problems on a one to one basis, that is one worker working with an individual or family, this is...

EFFECTIVENESS OF ONLINE INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY VERSUS TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM DELIVERY IN COLLEGE COURSES In the past years education has witnessed a boom in regards to the acceleration of technology use in the classroom. Along with the rise of internet use in traditional classroom instruction, the rise of online classroom instruction has become a necessity when trying to keep up with the demands of student learning in the technology age. Education today finds itself faced with the challenge of maintaining emphasis on student learning it terms of knowledge, competencies and skills in their curriculum all while competing for student enrollment in the on line instructional classroom model. Educators need to determine if the levels of learning in an online classroom are as effective as in the traditional classroom setting. In the study by Schulman and Sims ( 1999) they assess as more and more online courses and programs proliferate, the question of quality and comparability of such instruction with traditional methods naturally arise. There are many studies on the impact of technology on student learning that use survey and interviews to gather qualitative data on the self reported attitudes from student and teachers to make value judgment on the technological advancements in on line instruction. As T.H.E. Journal, unknown author, reported to date the most methodologically sound investigation to evaluate effectiveness of online instruction was conducted by Gerald Schutte at Cal State. In his study Schutte randomly divided his statistics class into two groups. The controlled class attending class regularly, listened to lecture, handed in homework assignments and took examinations. The experimental group took an online version and met with professor by chat, completed assignments by internet and email, and only attended class to take the mid term and final exams. Dr. Schuttes result found that the wired students outscored their traditional student counter parts...

ining Access/ Foundation My reasons for wanting to study for a qualification in social work have built up over many years of lost schooling, menial jobs and raising children, over which time I have learned a little about everything and a lot about nothing. My sense of self has been lost amongst nappy changing and school runs, I have also become more and more frustrated in the fact that how ever much life experience you have, potential employers are not interested in what you can bring personally to that job, only the amount of qualifications you have, or in my case, the amount that I haven't got, which has made me determined to gain the qualifications that I need to succeed in a job of my own choice. The second part will go on to discuss the reasons for wanting to become a social worker and how the access course will help me. I left school with very few qualifications, I blame the school that I went to for not picking up on the obvious problems that I had, I couldn't read or write properly and was obviously showing signs of having some form of learning disability, but as I was classed as being bright, the blame was put on me, I wasn't trying hard enough, even though teachers had mentioned Dyslexia to my parents on more than one occasion nothing was ever done to help me! At the age of 15 I left school semi illiterate with very little confidence in myself. I had various mundane jobs after leaving school, but eventually trained and qualified as a beauty therapist. By the age of 23 I had a major illness, this put pay to the job that I had had for almost two years in a florist shop, and also my Beauty therapy...

Adolescent Suicides INTRODUCTION Suicide is an act where one intentionally ends his/her own life. (Berman, 1992). Suicide has existed for a long time and has increased substantially in the past 2-3 decades among adolescents (Hawton, 1986). In order for a death to be considered suicide it must be ones own doing, where the person intentionally used a physical action to kill himself; this is different from an accidental self-inflicted death. If a suicide does not result in death, it is labeled as an attempted suicide. Statistics show that suicide rates in Ontario between 1971 and 1977 have increased by 42%, for adolescents and young adults between the ages of 10 to 24 years old. Suicide is the fifth leading cause of death for adolescents, where age, sex, and race are important risk factors (Berman, 1992). Hawton (1986) agues that there has been a great amount of adolescent suicides that have gone unreported due to; 1. The relative rarity of the event in this age group may make those responsible for determining the cause of death unlikely to consider suicide as an explanation; 2. Even if suicide is considered a possibility, the widely held belief that small children rarely commit suicide may mean that there is a greater tendency for death in this age group to be mistakenly reported as accidental. Subsequent suicide statistics will therefore confirm the belief that suicide is uncommon in children; 3. Those responsible for reporting suicide may be, consciously or unconsciously, concerned to protect other individuals from distress that a verdict of suicide may cause. Parents are particular liable to feel not only grieved but guilty about the suicide of a young son or daughter and the death may be reported as accidental or of undetermined cause in order to protect their feelings; 4. The predominant...

All nations should help support the development of a global university designed to engage students in the process of solving the world's most persistent social problems.Social Issues
"All nations should help support the development of a global university designed to engage students in the process of solving the world's most persistent social problems. "In a modern society, there are many complex questions, this passage's suggestion is a good advice, but it is not practical. First, depending the student to solve the world's most persistence social problems is impractical. The student's purpose in a university is to learn some basic knowledge and have some preparation for their future work, and the university's duty is to teach them such knowledge and the basic living ability. we can not say the student do not want to have such research, but they are just lack of such ability. Nevertheless maybe there are some very excellent students or the graduate students can do such research, but it is incommensurate with the spend for building a large global university. Second, the idea that just one large global university can solve all persistent social problem is ridiculous. It is not a easy work to build a university, they need a large square of field, build many teaching buildings and the student's dormitories. And they also need recruit many famous teachers and attract students to study in their school. All these will cost a lot of money, any beneficial research will happen in several years later. It is better to spend this money to establish many social problem research centers in many existed different universities, We can invite many famous scholars from different countries as long as give the best research condition. The result will be better than establish another university, we can save a lot of money too. Third, the government's role is important in solving any persistence social problem. In many countries, we need the government's corporation to treat the social problem. such...

All nations should help support the development of a global university designed to engage students in the process of solving the world's most persistent social problemsMiscellaneous
Inthe present age the various societies of world despite the manifold advancement in science and technology are being persistently plagued by the serious social problems. The idea of setting up a global university can be a very helpful in solving the serious social problems like Illiteracy ,Poverty and aparthied,sexual abuse,drug addiction.Cooperation amongst various countries is defenitely required to solve these problems.Recent mutual agreement amongst the countries of the world against the terrorism has defenitely improved the condition and reduced the incidence of terrorist attacks.Such mutual cooperation can also be brought about in solving the issues like child labour. But the major drawback in such a setup can be the it can be a good stage for solving the problem common to the countries but certain problems are there which other societies are not even aware of like dowry system in southwestern asia to which most of the western countries are ignorant .Then why would they like to bear the expenditure for solving these problems which are exclusive to particular nations.So estabilishing such a university calls for rasing above the personal greeds of nations and looking at the problems as challenges against humanity. The nature of problems for each nation depends on the cultural history of the society and thus needs to be dealt in the similar context.This university can be an ideal place for cross cultural communication and thus creating awareness and respect for other cultures and hence looking at the positive aspects of other cultures and utilizing their methodology for tackling the problems.With the fast modernisation of the societies and the western culture rapidly replacing the traditional cultural values of developing countries like India.The socialists can be aware of the reprecurssions of the exceesive modernisation in advance and can get ready to deal with the future situation and avaoiding to be taken...

All nations should help support the development of a global university designed to engage students in the process of solving the world's most persistent social problems The term 'global' signifies something substantial for the entire world. The need of a global body is uttermost important to solve social problems. The social problems need not be global for their general world significance, but for the threat they pose. The point of view of the speaker can be agreed with since the persistent social problems have to be solved. We have many social problems such as poverty, population growth, racial discrimination, child labour, prostitution, AIDS, illiteracy etc. These problems have to be controlled. One way of solving these problems as the speaker says is by the development of a global university which can mould the student's mind to help for a general cause. For the global university to prosper, not only the developed nations but also the underdeveloped and developing nations should participate. Proper selection of the students is the most important criteria, since these students symbolize their respective nations. There should be no prejudices among the mind of students. Students should come to this global university with an open heart and desire to learn. Unless the desire is not present, this cannot help the cause. The students from developing nations shouldn't dominate or bully their counterparts from developing nations. There shouldn't be a sense of superiority among the students. There should a proper dialogue among the students so that they come to know the various existing problems. These dialogues may help the students unite towards solving persistent social problems. Population control is one of the most important social problems. Population growth undoubtedly has a definite on social relations and society's historical development. Unfortunately, this issue has been examined insufficiently. When scrutinizing population growth today or...

Political, Economic & Social effects of Accounting Standard Setters 'The view that accounting standard setters consider the economic, political and social consequences of accounting standards is consistent with the view that accounting reports, if compiled in accordance with accounting standards and other generally accepted principles, will be neutral and objective' SYNOPSIS Objectivity and neutrality are the ultimate goals of general purpose financial reporting. However there are many factors involved that make this goal almost impossible to attain. Economic, political and social issues are huge influences on the Accounting Standard setting process, and these influences spill over into everyday accounting, with personal gain often ahead of reliability and objectivity. Users of financial reports have demands that need to be satisfied, and regulatory boards involved in Standard setting have done their best to ensure that information is clear and reliable. Considering these factors, Accounting does not exist in a vacuum, Accountants are human beings, not robots and the profession has strict guidelines and heavy penalties for unprofessional or fraudulent activity. It is thus clear that every attempt is made to acknowledge the operating societal factors, gauge the impact they have on different industries at different times and move from that point. The result than, has to be, the best attempt at a neutral and objective report by the professional accountant. Economic, political and social issues are powerful driving forces within any society. These issues therefore need to be focused on when major decisions in industries, are being made. One industry that heavily relies on, and incorporates economic, political and social issues in its' decision-making, is that of Accounting. The Accounting profession is made up of many standards and regulatory boards that govern the way in which entities maintain their general-purpose financial reports. Accounting standards set minimum benchmarks of the quality required in financial reporting. They specify that...

But that's my fault and it really doesn't matter. muah!
We came back home yesterday evening and after chilling at home for a while, our friends, Nelli and I met up and hung out the rest of the night and had a really great time. Youtube makes life interesting I gotta say.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities in Las Vegas say a spokesman for the Clark County nuclear waste office is facing federal child pornography charges stemming from an Internet file sharing investigation.
County officials say 40-year-old Erik Muller faces dismissal from his job following his arrest and Nov. 30 indictment on charges of sexual exploitation of a child, and advertising, transporting, receipt and possession of child pornography.
An aide to U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden says Muller is in federal custody pending trial Feb. 7 in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas.
Muller's federal public defense attorney declined comment.
A criminal complaint says Henderson police seized Muller's home and work computers and found evidence of web chats with apparently underage girls, recordings of Muller on web videos, and video images of young girls in sex acts.

Hi All!
I have followed the instructions found on this forum to install Plex Server on my NSA325. I've configured m media library and the scan has completed. I then added Plex client to my Android TV, whenever I try to play a file though I get a connection error. I then turned direct stream off in the client app on the tv and a few movies I tried I was able to play. I installed a Plex app on my linux satellite box and that was able to play files perfectly (they buffer before starting to play). In Chrome when I browser to the Plex admin if I click to play a movie I was getting a message "There was a problem playing this item." - until I enable "Hardware-accelerated video decode" under chrome://flags/
So it seems that the server is working correctly, is the inability to play media on my Android TV app a limitations of the TV and or its app?
Thanks in advance.

NEW ZEALAND -- In this land of 3.3 million people and 70 million sheep it would be a mortal sin to visit without staying on a farm.
The glitzy travel brochures say that a stay at a country home is a break from the travel plans, that allows the tourist to enjoy magnificent scenery, unpolluted air, peace and tranquility and delicious home-cooked meals.
But it is much more than that.
You cannot possibly get a real feeling for a country by dining in the hotels and talking to other tourists. We learned what New Zealanders thought about everything from their government to Americans and women`s rights. We stood side-by-side with them in the kitchen, and helped milk the cows and feed the deer.
And when members of the Newspaper Food Editors and Writers got back together on the tour bus to discuss our visits we chuckled because all of us had felt we were the lucky ones with the best families. It didn`t take long to find out everyone felt the same way.
Four of us stayed at the home of Mary and Gil Jury, so-called gentlemen farmers who live on 10 acres with 80 sheep right outside Cambridge, about an hour`s drive from Rotorua. Home hosting is a regular activity for the Jurys as well as having barbecues for groups of 30 Japanese tourists, mostly honeymooners.
Gil, part English and part Maori, represents the two cultures of New Zealand. His father was an English seaman who jumped ship and married the daughter of Te Whatahoro, a famous Maori chief who was killed with his own greenstone (jade) weapon by an enemy, Te Rauparaha. The legendary greenstone is still a family heirloom. Mary is an Austrialian.
The Jurys treated us more like invited guests than paying tourists. Mary illustrated how to spin the wool from their backyard sheep. And Gil played old show tunes on the piano.
