The Berkeley sewer repair professionals that work for our company are guaranteed to have the training, experience and ability to handle your sewer problems. Our customers can contact us for a sewer inspection in Berkeley to determine if the lines have a buildup of debris that requires removal or cracked interiors that require repair. At Evenflow Plumbing, we have an expert team of workers who can bring the equipment needed to a property to perform an Berkeley sewer inspection. To view the interior of sewer lines, we drop a video camera into a drain to view the information on a television screen. With this type of sewer inspection in Berkeley, we do not need to dig a long trench outside. If there is a clog in the line, then we can create a plan to dislodge it by using pressurized water or a rooter brush.
It is possible that a Berkeley sewer inspection will reveal that a line has a hole or crack that requires repair. A simple Berkeley sewer repair is sometimes possible by inserting flexible pipes into a small hole, and these pipes will harden later after an ultraviolet light is inserted next to the parts. Occasionally, this type of sewer repair in Berkeley is not possible because the lines have severe damage, and we have to complete a repair with a digging method instead. This type of Berkeley sewer replacement is more complicated and takes a longer amount of time because it involves digging through dirt to reach the system. Unfortunately, we must damage grass and other landscaping during this process.
At Evenflow Plumbing, we recommend that our customers have routine Berkeley sewer cleaning to prevent a buildup of debris that includes food particles, grease and bathroom tissue. A hydro-jetting or rooter-cleaning process is especially important for businesses such as restaurants or hotels where a lot of food is prepared in a commercial kitchen. By scheduling sewer cleaning when it is convenient, our customers are less likely to require an emergency service call because there is a backwash of filthy debris in a sink. There are things that our customers can do to prevent a buildup of debris in sewer lines, including using a grease trap, hair catchers or buying bathroom tissue that dissolves easily. Instead of waiting until a sewer backup occurs, call us when a building's drains begin to gurgle.
Our team of sewer repair plumbers is always standing by to help you with any and all of your sewer problems. We have been the go-to sewer repair company for years and we always come highly recommended by our many satisfied customers. So if you need any kind of Berkeley sewer repair, replacement, cleaning or even just an inspection, then please do not hesitate to give us a call.

Influenza : Clinical Aspects
As stated previously, influenza A and B viruses tend to cause the most severe illnesses, whereas influenza C seems to occur infrequently and generally causes milder disease. The typical acute influenzal syndrome is described here.
The incubation period is brief, lasting an average of 2 days. Onset is usually abrupt, with symptoms developing over a few hours. These include fever, myalgia, headache, and occasionally shaking chills. Within 6 to 12 hours, the illness reaches its maximum severity, and a dry, nonproductive cough develops. The acute findings persist, sometimes with wors-ening cough, for 3 to 5 days, followed by gradual improvement. By about 1 week after on-set, patients feel significantly better. However, fatigue, nonspecific weakness, and cough can remain frustrating lingering problems for an additional 2 to 6 weeks.
Occasionally, patients develop a progressive infection that involves the tracheo-bronchial tree and lungs. In these situations, pneumonia, which can be lethal, is the result. Other unusual acute manifestations of influenza include central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction, myositis, and myocarditis. In infants and children, a serious complication known as Reye's syndrome may develop 2 to 12 days after onset of the infection. It is characterized by severe fatty infiltration of the liver and cerebral edema. This syndrome is associated not only with influenza viruses but with a wide variety of systemic viral ill-nesses. The risk is enhanced by exposure to salicylates, such as aspirin.
The most common and important complication of influenza virus infection is bacterial superinfection. Such infections usually involve the lung, but bacteremia with secondary seeding of distant sites can also occur. The superinfection, which can develop at any time in the acute or convalescent phase of the disease, is often heralded by an abrupt worsen-ing of the patient's condition after initial stabilization. The bacteria most commonly in-volved include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Staphylococcusaureus.
In summary, there are essentially three ways in which influenza may cause death:
• Underlying disease with decompensation. Individuals with limited cardiovascularor pulmonary reserves can be further compromised by any respiratory infection. Thus, the elderly and those of any age with underlying chronic cardiac or pulmonary disease are at particular risk.
• Superinfection. Superinfection can lead to bacterial pneumonia and occasionallydisseminated bacterial infection.
• Direct rapid progression. Less commonly, progression of the viral infection can leadto overwhelming viral pneumonia with asphyxia.
During the acute phase of illness, influenza viruses can be readily isolated from respiratory tract specimens, such as nasopharyngeal and throat swabs. Most strains grow in primary monkey kidney cell cultures, and they can be detected by hemadsorption or hemagglutina-tion. Rapid diagnosis of infection is possible by direct immunofluorescence or immunoen-zymatic detection of viral antigen in epithelial cells or secretions from the respiratory tract. Serologic diagnosis is of considerable help epidemiologically and is usually made by demonstrating a fourfold or greater increase in hemagglutination inhibition antibody titers in acute and convalescent specimens collected 10 to 14 days apart.
The two basic approaches to management of influenzal disease are symptomatic care and anticipation of potential complications, particularly bacterial superinfection. Once the di- agnosis has been made, rest, adequate fluid intake, conservative use of analgesics for myalgia and headache, and antitussives for severe cough are commonly prescribed.
It must be emphasized that nonprescription drugs must be used with caution. This applies particularly to drugs containing salicylates given to children, because the risk of Reye's syndrome must be considered.
Bacterial superinfection is often suggested by a rapid worsening of clinical symptoms after patients have initially stabilized. Antibiotic prophylaxis has not been shown to en-hance or diminish the likelihood of superinfection but can increase the risk of acquisition of more resistant bacterial flora in the respiratory tract and make the superinfection more difficult to treat. Ideally, physicians should instruct patients regarding the natural history of the influenza virus infection and be prepared to respond to bacterial complications, if they occur, with specific diagnosis and therapy.
When influenza A infection is proved or strongly suspected, 4 to 5 days of therapy with amantadine or rimantadine, two symmetric amines, may also be considered (Table 33–4). Such treatment has been shown to benefit some patients to a modest degree, as measured by reduction of number of days of confinement to bed, of fever, and of functional respira-tory impairment. However, these effects have been observed only when the drug is admin-istered early in the illness (within 12 to 24 hours of onset). The neuraminidase inhibitors (zanamivir or oseltamivir) have also proved beneficial, if begun early. They are also active against influenza B (see Table 33 – 4).
The best available method of control is by use of killed viral vaccines newly formulated each year to most closely match the influenza A and B antigenic subtypes currently caus-ing infections. These inactivated vaccines may contain whole virions or "split" subunits composed primarily of hemagglutinin antigens. They are commonly used, in two doses given 1 month apart, to immunize children who may not have been immunized previ-ously; among older children and adults, single annual doses are recommended just prior to influenza season. Vaccine efficacy is variable, and annual revaccination is necessary to ensure maximal protection. Used in this way, the virus vaccines may be 70 to 85% effec-tive. It is recommended that vaccination be directed primarily toward the elderly, individ-uals of all ages who are at high risk (eg, those with chronic lung or heart disease), and their close contacts, including medical personnel and household members. Live attenu-ated vaccines that are administered by nose drops are also being evaluated, and show con-siderable promise for the future.
Studies have shown that both amantadine and rimantadine are effective in short-term (several weeks) oral prophylaxis of influenza A infections. They act by blocking the ion channel of the viral M2 protein, resulting in interference with the key role for M2 protein in early virus uncoating. Later virion assembly may also be affected. However, these agents have side effects and are recommended only for high-risk patients until vaccine-induced immunity can be achieved. A typical example of their use would be during an epidemic in which an elderly, potentially susceptible patient may become exposed to in-fection within a defined period. Oral prophylaxis may be initiated concurrently with ad-ministration of a vaccine containing the most current antigens and continued for 2 weeks. The immunogenic effect of the vaccine should ensure continued protection. It must be emphasized that these drugs have been proven effective for influenza A virus infections only; they are useless in the management and prevention of infections caused by other types of influenza or by any other respiratory virus. Unfortunately, virus resistance to both drugs can readily develop in vitro or in vivo. A single amino acid substitution in the transmembrane portion of the M2 protein is all that is necessary for this to occur.
Zanamivir and oseltamivir, approved for use in 1999, both act by blocking the enzy-matically active neuraminidase glycoprotein present on the surfaces of influenza A and B viruses, thus limiting virus release from infected cells, and subsequent spread in the host. No viral resistance to these drugs has yet been noted (see Table 33–4).

Porsche releases Taycan 4S: Price, performance, battery options, and more
The Porsche Taycan 4S. (Credit: Porsche AG)
Just over a month after launching the first two variants of the Taycan, Porsche has announced another version of its flagship all-electric sports car, the dual-motor Taycan 4S. Priced below the Taycan Turbo, the midrange variant of the electric sports car could very well hit the sweet spot for buyers who prefer to have the full Porsche experience without spending over $150,000.
Here's a quick look at the Porsche Taycan 4S's details.
Design and Battery Sizes
A look at the Taycan 4S shows that the vehicle is just as stunning as the Turbo and Turbo S variant that preceded it. The Taycan 4S' dimensions are identical to the vehicle's top two versions, though its wheels are a touch smaller at 19″ compared to the Turbo's 20″ and the Turbo S' 21″ wheels. The 4S is also equipped with red six-piston fixed-calipers on the front axle and four-piston calipers on the rear axle with internally vented cast-iron brake rotors.
The Taycan 4S will be released with two available battery sizes: the standard Performance battery that delivers up to 522 hp (390 kW) and the Performance Battery Plus that up to 563 hp (420 kW). The Performance Battery has a capacity of 79.2 kWh as standard, while the Performance Battery Plus features the same 93.4 kW battery that is fitted on the Taycan Turbo and Turbo S.
Performance, Charging, and Interior
Yet despite the differing battery sizes, Porsche notes that the Taycan 4S will have a 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds. The top speed of the vehicle is listed at 155 mph. US EPA range estimates for the Taycan 4S are yet to be announced.
Under ideal conditions, the Porsche Taycan 4S could charge from 5% to 80% state of charge can occur in as little as 22.5 minutes for both the Performance and Performance Plus battery, at least when the vehicle is plugged into an 800-volt high-speed DC charging station. The maximum charging capacity (peak) is 225 kW for the Performance Battery or 270 kW for the Performance Battery Plus.
Being part of the Taycan family, the 4S is available with multiple interior options, though Porsche underscores the company's use of recycled materials for the vehicle. A partial leather interior comes standard with the midrange all-electric car.
In a way, the Porsche Taycan 4S could very well be the bang-for-your-buck version of the German automaker's flagship electric sports car line. Apart from having the same battery size as the Taycan Turbo and Turbo S, the 4S is also equipped with the same Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PSM) as the vehicle's top two trims.
Granted, the vehicle's maximum power stands at 563 hp with launch control compared to the Taycan Turbo's 670 hp and the Turbo S' 750 hp with launch control, but the vehicle is also priced significantly less. The Taycan 4S with Performance Battery starts at $103,800 ($106,410 at launch), while the 4S with Performance Battery Plus starts at $110,380 ($112,990 at launch).
That's around $40,000-$46,000 less than the Taycan Turbo, which starts at $150,900 ($153,510 at launch), and over $74,000-$80,000 less than the Taycan Turbo S, which starts at $185,000 ($187,610 at launch).
Here's a full comparison of Porsche's current lineup for its flagship electric car.

What this Dentist has been doing for 12 years is unbelievable!
Since I started Blogging in the year 2007, I promised to put this passion into good use. I started the Bloggers Social Responsibility as Cebu Bloggers Society's version of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Since then, other organizations from different Countries had started following it. But this is not about CBS. I'm giving this special highlight to Cebu's amazing Dentists.
Last Sunday, I finally joined my friend Dentist, Doctor Xavier Solis and couple of his friends and volunteers for a Dental Mission at Caohagan Elementary School as he celebrated his Birthday. This school is situated in a very small island near Lapu-Lapu and is part of Olango Island Group. Why giving this basic information? I just want to share how difficult for our brothers and sisters from that Island in terms of necessities such as medical, education (High School, Senior High School, College) , drinking water and other essentials. Some of the people earn money from fishing. That's why they could not buy other needs such as wearing good clothes or protection from the harmful and dirty ground - yes, I saw children wearing nothing - barefooted. It broke my heart thinking some of City Millenials' problems are like "what to wear" or "what coffee shops are they going to lounge for their "studies"" which ended up disturbing their neighboring tables with their noice pollution. Very sad indeed! That's why I'm giving Doctor Solis and his friends a good feature in my blog. People like them are very hard to find.
I once asked Doc. Solis why celebrate your birthday in an island with a Dental mission? I know it's a simple question but I just wanted to know his personal reasons. "It's a truly HAPPY birthday when you share your happiness to the community." he answered briefly. And to my surprise he added "To be honest I don't like sharing what I'm doing because I believe that doing good don't need to be sensationalized in social media." Now, that's how a true Charity Works!
Since 2005, Doc. Solis started the Dental Mission with the help of his friends from Solis Dental Care Clinic and Dental City Center For Smile. And just last year, he decided to start giving back to the community every during his birthday week in a form of Dental Service such as free tooth extraction while some volunteers are giving away educational supplies to Students. Unbelievable that a good Dentist has been doing it for 12 years already! Kudos to Doc. Solis and the rest of his friends and volunteers!
By the way, if you are willing to partner with those mentioned Dental Centers, please see below contact details.

September 09, 2011 by Paradox in "9/11", "Encyclopedia of 9/11", "NY Mag", "New York Magazine", "Twin Towers", "WTC", "World Trade Center"
Every year I write a piece on 9/11, and every year I write on how watching it all unfold, live on TV, from my apartment in France changed my life around profoundly. This year I am going to write about something else that profoundly affected me that year, and you can look out for that piece in the next few days.
The thing is, I have been reading the Encyclopedia of 9/11 that was recently in New York Magazine, and it has deeply touched me. The piece is up on the magazine's website HERE. Read it - it's extremely well written, researched and assembled. After reading this I don't feel the need to write about it again myself. I wasn't here 10 years ago, they were.
Once you have read it let's discuss... As always, I love opinions.
In the meantime, I think it's time for me to get my cameras out of the apartment and photograph what is happening on Ground Zero nowadays. The tower is growing fast (1WTC, I think, or that one may be the one that is one hold), and I think I need to capture it now.

As far as I know, no one is talking about climate change the way I am. The ideas are there, but they are hidden, obscure, lost in their words.
The lever to topple climate change is clarity. How can anyone act if it's unclear what to do? All this technical obscurity has created a universal feeling of hopelessness and impotence. Climate change has become the faceless monster that will get us in the end.
We can find the power to stop it if we can find a way to talk about it. So, vocabulary.
Technical terms stick in the mind better if the words sound right together. Alliteration is a good place to start, but assonance and consonance help as well. The term should sound as if it's meant to be spoken, as if it popped out, fully formed, like Athena in words.
Popular culture. Words stick if they sound natural and obvious. No one is going to repeat a term that makes them sound ridiculous. Well, some people might, but no one will take them seriously. A term should be able to be said in normal conversation, on the radio or in a TV commercial.
The word should say what it is. If a term requires a big digression to describe it, it will remain forever within the cool kid's basement and never make it out into the wider world. A term should be so obvious that explaining it seems like overkill. Of course, some terms are very technical, but a little insight should go a long way.
Use easy words. Big words should be punctuation not practice. If you want someone to remember something, use the words they say every day. Obscure words are, well, obscure. If someone has to think for a while to remember the precise word you used, they will simply skip over it and move on to something more fun.
In any field, new vocabulary takes time to mature, and climate change is no different. But I believe that the focus should shift from explanation to action.
The word biofuel is a perfect example. the "bio" of biofuel means it's made from biological stuff. Plants.
It misses the grist: Biological fuels are part of the carbon cycle and don't contribute to climate change when they burn. Biofuels offer a solution to global warming, not because they are biological simply, but because biological carbon is distinct from the carbon in fossil fuels. Biological carbon does not cause climate change.
The term "biofuel" assumes that everyone knows that emissions from biological sources—even if they seem like pollution—do not cause climate change. Which brings up another point: there's good pollution and bad pollution in terms of climate change, so the word pollution is really misleading.
Fossil carbon — carbon buried for millions of years allowing the carbon cycle to evolve without it, and thereby rendering it harmful when released. The source of climate change. I like the immediate resonance with fossil fuel. I like that it sets up a categorical difference between types of carbon. But, while the carbon of fossil fuel does have slight chemical differences, I worry that the categorization of different types of carbon is too strict. The source is different, not the substance.
Carbon efficiency — a rating of fuel efficiency that takes into account the kind of fuel used and its affects on climate change. I like that carbon neutrality is not assumed to be an on/off switch, but an assessment of efficiency. I like that it seems like a standard to live up to. I'm not sure that it is either necessary, or clear what efficiency means.
Green miles per gallon (gmpg) — the units of carbon efficiency, expressed like miles per gallon. I like the simplicity of "green" and its evocation of the green movement and the benefit for the planet, i.e. stopping climate change. I like the abbreviation, gmpg: it's simple, the 'g's complement each other, and it's easy enough to see the mpg within. I worry that the "green" is still too obscure.
Anyway, there's no one so snarky as a linguist. I'd better leave off here before I really offend someone.

Dictionary of Literary Biography on Cassius Dio
Cassius Dio, a Bithynian Greek who later became a Roman senator and consul, is known primarily for his partially extant Roman History (early third century A.D.). This work, eighty books long, was the last full history of Rome to be written in antiquity; it covers the more than one-thousand-year period from the supposed arrival of Aeneas in Italy in the eleventh century B.C. until Dio's own consulate in A.D. 229. During a public career in which he was remarkably adept at shifting with changing political winds, Dio prospered under a series of emperors from Commodus (who ruled from A.D. 180 to 192) to Severus Alexander (who reigned from A.D. 222 to 235); Dio preserves in his remarkable history firsthand accounts of all of them. In A Study of Cassius Dio (1964) Fergus Millar writes that there exists for Dio "a more valuable record of personal experience than for any...

Dardski jeziki (tudi Dardu ali Pisaca) so podskupina indoarijskih jezikov, ki jih kot materni jezik govorijo v severnem Pakistanu, Gilgit-Baltistanu, Hajber Pakhtunkhva, severni Indiji, Džamu in Kašmirju ter vzhodnem Afganistanu. Kašmirščina/košur je najpomembnejši dardski jezik, z izoblikovano literarno tradijcijo in uradnim priznanjem, kot enega od uradnih jezikov Indije.

Največji dardski jezik s 4,6 milijona govorcev in edini z literarno tradicijo je jezik kašmirščina, ki ga večinoma govorijo v Severni Indiji (regija Kašmir). Drugi pomembni dardski jeziki v Pakistanu so šina s 500 tisoč govorci na območju Gilgit, hovarščina (220 tisoč) v Čitralu, indska kohistanščina (220 tisoč) v Kohistanu in pašaj (110 tisoč) v pakistanski provinci Kunar.

Območje rabe in umestitev dardijščine

Še vedno ni dokončno razjasnjeno, kateri jeziki bi morali pripadati "dardskim". Do 70. let prejšnjega stoletja so jim prištevali tudi nuristanske jezike - prej imenovane "kafiri", kar pomeni  "jezik nevernikov". Sedaj se jezikoslovci nagibajo k obravnavi nuristanskih jezikov kot ločene tretje veje indo-iranskih, enakopravno z iransko in indo-arijsko, ter jih ne smemo več pripisovati dardskim jezikom. Položaj (preostalih) dardskih jezikov znotraj indoarijskih je še vedno sporen. Prevladuje pa mnenje, da je položaj dardskih jezikov kot neodvisne veja indoarijskih jezikov. To daje naslednjo situacijo, ki jo deli večina raziskovalcev:

 indoevropski
 indoiraniski
 iranski
 nuristanski
 indoarijski
 dardski
 druge veje indoarijskih

Sunday, 23 June 2019 10:56:00 AM Australia/Sydney
Author: Mitch Wynd
A lengthy delay and challenging conditions could not stop the Kookaburras from securing a 4-1 victory over the Netherlands in Amstelveen on Saturday.
The match start was delayed by two hours amidst bizarre scenes - the water system at the Wagener Hockey Stadium failed, requiring the local fire department to step in and water the pitch themselves.
That left pitch conditions less than ideal, but it would be the same challenge facing both teams.
Australia won the first penalty corner of the match five minutes into the match, and Blake Govers duly stepped up and converted the opportunity.
The early lead would not last long, however, with the Netherlands also scoring from their first penalty corner through Jip Janssen.
Late in the first quarter, Australia called for a referral after a push inside the circle was waved away by the referee. After review, another penalty corner was awarded where Jeremy Hayward fired in the team's second goal and reclaimed the lead.
The second quarter saw a series of early penalty corners go Australia's way, and after his early goal, Govers was in the mood for more - narrowly missing the first, and nailing the second.
Govers' second goal was also his tenth of the Pro League competition, making him the equal top scorer of the league alongside Spain's Pau Quemada.
The home side were able to find more of the momentum in the third quarter, however a last-minute referral from Australia was once again successful and led to Hayward scoring his second goal - the fifth goal of the match to come from a penalty corner.
As the match drew to a close, a pair of green cards were given to each team - Sander de Wijn and Tim Brand for the Netherlands and Australia, respectively.
Coach Colin Batch praised his team's ability to not let the pre-match delay affect them.
"I felt we coped with the two hour delay really well. It was a very sharp warmup, not as long as what we'd normally have, but we started the game pretty well, had a very good first half and established a winning lead at half time," he said.
"The game was decided on penalty corners. We put four through, and that was a decisive part of the game.
"We're pleased to be able to get our flickers flicking well, particularly on this surface as it is the pitch we'll play on for the finals."
The win has no effect on Australia's place on the standings, with top spot already secured prior to the match. However, it does mean that Australia will finish at least four points clear of second place.
Australia's next match will be the semi-final, with the opposing team still to be confirmed.
Australia 4 (Govers 5', Hayward 14', Govers 18', Hayward 45')

Jim Gillespie with his son Kieran.
Athlete Jim Gillespie has claimed a British title and broken a national record.
On Saturday the Wragby athlete – who was representing Ireland – competed at the the British Throws Decathlon in Derby.
It was a fantastic, but very long day, comprising 10 throwing events, four of which Jim had never done before.
In the throws decathlon points are awarded for how far each implement is thrown and the person with the most points takes the title.
For Jim, the event started well with a personal best in the hammer (25.02m), and the shot and javelin followed with solid enough performances.
Then came three unfamiliar events, the Kugelshocken, grenade throw and slingshot.
"I placed well, and much to my surprise, scoring more points than I thought I would," Jim conceded.
The event was rounded off with the one-handed hammer and heavyweight hammer, two events Jim knows and scored well in.
He finished the competition on 3,553 points, enough for a British title and new Irish record.
Jim added: "I always say to kids that I teach to never be afraid of competition, no matter how unfamiliar, and this is a perfect example.

I have a main line and a private second line. I have my private line on the Telo and the main line is on the Ooma handset.
Since I separated the lines the main line vmail lights up the Telo vmail indicator even though the private line is connected to the Telo. Can I change it so the vmail light lights up when I have vmail on the private line? Or alternatively I wouldn't mind the indicator flashing when there is vmail in either account.
Currently, you account shows the telo(main) line as being private.

Odyssey of the Mind 2020: Reminiscing about an event that never happened
The Region 19 Odyssey of the Mind tournament was scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 14 at Allegany-Limestone Middle/High School. The ISS Student Programs team, along with 30 teams across the region, were packed and ready. On March 12, the announcement was made to cancel the tournament. For many of us, this was the first indicator that our lives were about to change dramatically.
The five remaining regional tournaments across New York state also canceled, as did the NY State Tournament. However, there are some worthwhile points to remember:
The Odyssey season was not canceled. Thirty teams in the region worked hard for months to prepare their solutions. Every team creatively solved their long-term problem.
Kori Thomas, an eighth grader at Bolivar-Richburg Central School, designed the cover of the Coach notebooks that were to be given out on tournament day. The notebooks were delivered to coaches this month.
Seven Seniors, six from Allegany-Limestone Middle/High School and one from Salamanca City Central School received a lanyard, pin, notebook, and 2020 shirt. They were also recognized on NYSOMA social media.
The six Allegany-Limestone Seniors, along with their coach, Kiki Youngs, and Odyssey coordinator, Penny Owen, recorded a Zoom video announcement, on behalf of NYSOMA. The video announced that Sue Pircio, retired Allegany-Limestone teacher, was this year's recipient of the 'Friend of NYSOMA' award.
Certificates and programs were delivered to coaches, upon request. Coaches are still creatively wrapping up the season and finding ways to safely celebrate the hard work of their teams.
It is cathartic to reminisce, and it is also exciting to look ahead to next year. The 2020-2021 Problem Synopses have been released at https://www.odysseyofthemind.com/2021ltproblems/.
There is no doubt that the teams, coaches, and the Student Programs team will be ready to think creatively, solve problems, and adjust to new challenges that will be on the horizon. After all, that is what Odyssey of the Mind is all about.

A: The first ever regional Virtual Scholastic Challenge
On May 1st, twenty teams from twelve area school districts got together, virtually, using Zoom.
42 matches took place over the course of the day, with nearly 1000 questions read aloud. Teams, made up of 3-4 students each, mastered using an online buzzer system that created fast paced and exciting matches. The students combined an impressive display of intelligence and good sportsmanship as the match facilitators measured their ability to recall facts from a wide variety of topics. There was an exciting energy throughout the day, as summed up by ISS Digital Resources & Technology Coordinator, Alex Freer, one of the match readers, who said, "What a joy to be a part of today!"
Shannon Wood, Franklinville Central School's coach added, "Please extend our thanks to all of the BOCES staff that participated in pulling off the VSC! It was really a great change of pace for the kids! They look forward to this and you accomplished the new format very smoothly! Thank you for all of your hard work!"
Scholastic Challenge is an annual event hosted by Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES. The regional competition that tests students' knowledge of academic trivia and current events is typically held as a face-to-face tournament.

Four Local Teams Advance to the VEX Robotics Northern New York Championship
Cuba, New York – Wednesday, January 15, 2020 – Twenty-seven VEX Robotics teams from across Cattaraugus and Allegany Counties attended the 2nd annual VEX Robotics Qualifying Tournament at Cuba-Rushford Middle/High School on Wednesday, January 15, 2020. Students competed with and against teams from Belfast, Cattaraugus-Little Valley, Cuba-Rushford, Fillmore, Franklinville, Genesee Valley, Hinsdale, Pioneer, Portville, Salamanca, Scio, Wellsville, and Whitesville. The middle and high school students executed the 2019-2020 VEX Robotics Competition game, Tower Takeover, which is played by placing different colored cubes in towers and goal zones during a 2-minute match.
Congratulations go out to 4 teams from Cuba-Rushford and Franklinville. Specifically, 2 Cuba-Rushford teams (Rebel Robotics and Yellow Team), who formed an alliance and went on to become Tournament Champions. The Franklinville (Wasted Potential) team earned the Excellence Award and the Franklinville (The Ratz) team earned the Design Award. These four teams qualify to attend the Northern New York State Championship to be held in Syracuse on February 29.
Additionally, the Judges Award was presented to the Wellsville team (Big Cat Robotics) to acknowledge their outstanding Engineering Notebook.
The Volunteer of the Year Award was given to Alex Palowitch from iDesign Solutions.
To prepare for the tournament, students worked together to design, build and program a semiautonomous robot that could quickly and efficiently solve the specific challenges of the 2019-2020 VEX Robotics Competition game, Tower Takeover. Teams studied electronics, programming, mechanical systems, animation, 3D CAD, computer aided machining, web design, and materials fabrication. An equally important set of skills is learned through competition: communication, negotiation, project management, time management and teamwork.
The tournament was possible because of a tremendous collaborative effort between Cuba-Rushford school and CABOCES. The CABOCES Tech Support team, along with ISS (Professional Development, Learning Resources, and Student Programs) worked together to make the tournament a success. Additional support and guidance, which was invaluable, came from Alex Palowitch from iDESIGN Solutions.

Extreme Makeover: DL Edition
It has been a busy summer and start of the school year for the Distance Learning Team at CA BOCES and our districts that purchase the 420 CoSer. We are hosting or receiving ten video conference courses that involve ten of our CA BOCES regional schools, one school from Erie 2 BOCES and two schools from Central New York. Installation of Zoom video conference equipment from the 2017 RUS Grant is complete along with upgrades within buildings as requested.
Two highlights from Distance Learning Makeovers in districts:
Scio has two different, but very similar systems. They made over their Polycom Distance Learning Room with a Zoom Room featuring two 55" screen displays and Zoom video conference equipment. In addition they made over their Polycom portable carts with a Zoom Cart which also has a dual display and the Zoom video conference equipment. Scio is offering and receiving four video conference courses this fall. The pictures below show the Zoom Room equipment in the made over Scio Distance Learning Room.
Belfast has remade their Polycom Distance Learning Room with a Zoom Room and has installed equipment and is utilizing Zoom video conference software in three additional classrooms. These makeovers allow Belfast to host and receive five video conference courses this fall. Pictures below show two Belfast classrooms that had a makeover using Zoom.
Like most home remodels, a Distance Learning makeover it isn't always on time or without its challenges. Our tech support has been instrumental in helping overcome hurdles and challenges. That said, we are also learning how to best use Zoom to enhance learning and teaching. Kudos to our CA BOCES tech support for doing research and finding solutions and to our distance learning teachers across the region for taking a risk and innovating their classrooms as the technology available to them enhances learning.
fun + film = S.T.A.F.F. Win
The audience votes for the S.T.A.F.F. win. Which district will take home the trophy?
The second Southern Tier Annual Film Festival (S.T.A.F.F.) was held at the Cuba-Rushford Central School District auditorium on Friday, May 18. Participating schools included Allegany-Limestone, Belfast, Cattaraugus-Little Valley, Cuba Rushford, Fillmore, Olean, and Whitesville.
Administrators, teachers, parents, and students gathered together to watch and vote on student productions to see which district would take home the trophy.
Leading up to the event, Courtney Brisky, a student at Olean High school, created the artwork for posters to be distributed throughout districts across Allegany and Cattaraugus counties to advertise and promote the festival. Student submissions for the festival were due in mid-April and the finalists for the event were decided by graduate students at the University at Buffalo.
The second Southern Tier Annual Film Festival Program designed by Olean High School student, Courtney Brisky.
Audience members watched forty-three films, voting in a mere six films as finalists.
Six teams were finalists for the trophy and took home recognition awards.
Finally, the moment came for the audience to choose the winning film and they selected a parody of the popular television sitcom, "The Office." Students DeAndre Ahrens, Gabby Dutton, Hannah Erwin, Cody Findlay, Dana Hatch, Colston Saulter, Jonah Williamson, and Trenon Zeager took home the trophy for Cuba-Rushford. The trophy was previously housed at Fillmore Central School District and will now spend the year at Cuba-Rushford until next year's festival.
The trophy, previously won by Fillmore, went to Cuba Rushford for the win.
Teachers have been preparing for this festival throughout the year by attending ongoing professional development offered by Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES and presented by Dr. David Bruce at the University at Buffalo and Dr. Sunshine Sullivan at Houghton College. At the ongoing events, teachers hone their skills, brainstorm, and develop curriculum for teaching students to craft narratives, investigate the correlation between images and narrative, develop writing and media skills, and tap into creativity.
L-R Suzan Snyder, Allegany-Limestone, works with Dr. Sunshine Sullivan at Houghton College to finalize plans.
The first film festival developed out of a week-long summer professional development opportunity offered to English teachers through the region through a partnership by Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES, Houghton College, and the University at Buffalo. This opportunity culminated with the creation of the Southern Tier Annual Film Festival by teachers because they wanted to offer their students the same kind of enriching experience in the classroom and give students the chance to present their work to a live audience.
"Writing with Video: Rural Voices" is going to be offered this coming year to teachers in every discipline to hone their skills, collaborate, and plan future film festivals. If you have interest in bringing this unique opportunity to your students, look out for the upcoming summer institute as well as for future film festivals.

BOCES and eleven regional school districts have been awarded the USDA RUS Distance Learning Grant, totaling $466,686.
Last week District Superintendent Lynda Quick, Esq. learned that Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES has been awarded a grant for $466,686 from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The grant, known as the Rural Utility Service (RUS) Distance Learning grant, will be implemented by Cattaraugus Allegany BOCES and eleven area school districts to upgrade video conferencing equipment and other technologies.
The equipment upgrades will provide all three Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES Career and Technical Education (CTE) Centers, as well as Belfast, Bolivar-Richburg, Cuba-Rushford, Franklinville, Friendship, Genesee Valley, Hinsdale, Olean, Salamanca, Scio, and Wellsville Central School Districts, with new portable, high definition video conference capabilities that schools will use to provide students and teachers with a variety of distance learning opportunities including videoconference courses, virtual field trip experiences, and expanded access to nanotechnology capabilities.
This is not the first USDA RUS Distance Learning grant received by Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES and component school districts. The Distance Learning Team at CA BOCES has been applying for and receiving RUS grants since 1997, resulting in eight previous awards and millions of dollars in equipment for our schools.
"Over the years, USDA funding has built a virtual school in our region," stated Lynda Quick. Over forty virtual classes connect via video conference every single day, allowing schools to share the instructional expertise of their outstanding faculty members. Additionally, hundreds of students to take other online courses because of this funding. These virtual courses are critical in expanding offerings in small rural schools that, over time, have been stripped of the ability to offer many (or any) AP, college credit, or elective courses to their students.
Lynda Quick also shared, "This award helps put a dent in leveling the playing field. It helps our students build a transcript that can be competitive in the post-secondary arena." Grant implementation will begin immediately.
Robotics: a tool to teach Stem
The ROBOTC for VEX training at Pioneer High School was led by Jesse Flot, a Research Programmer & Senior Software Engineer for the Robotics Academy at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), and Josh Jarvis, the lead developer for CMUs CS-STEM Network. In attendance were nearly thirty participants from various districts across the region (Allegany-Limestone CSC, Andover CSD, Belfast CSD, Bolivar-Richburg CSD, CA-BOCES Belmont CTE, CA-BOCES ISS, CA-BOCES ISS, Cattaraugus-Little Valley CSD, Cuba-Rushford CSD, Ellicottville CSD, Franklinville CSD, Fillmore CSD, Genesee Valley CSD, Hinsdale CSD, Pioneer CSD, Salamanca City SD, Scio CSD, and Whitesville CSD).
What is a robot, and what can we can we teach with it? These were the first two questions that Jesse Flot used to open the ROBOTC for VEX training. The first question is fairly direct: what is a robot? Perhaps you define a robot as something like Wall-E, or maybe to you a robot is Arnold Schwarzenegger from the Terminator. The definition is as simple as SPA: a robot is a device that has the ability to sense, plan, and act. What can we teach with a robot? This second question is more difficult to answer unless we first reflect on how we teach rather than the content of our teaching.
When teaching Algebra 1, my students would struggle with the concept of completing the square to rewrite quadratic expressions. Rather than using the skill of completing the square as a tool to accomplish a goal, I made the skill the learning goal; ultimately, it was not until I provided students with the necessary tools and shift my focus (using GeoGebra) that they were able to better understand the process of completing the square, how to use it, and when to use it. Similarly, "project-based learning (PBL) involves learning through projects rather than just doing projects," says John Spencer. In other words, the goal of PBL is to focus on the learning process rather than a culminating project. Jesse explained what can be taught with robotics in the same way; he said, "the Robotics Academy at CMU uses robotics as a tool to teach programming; however, you can use robots to teach many other subjects and skills such as mathematics, physics, communication, teamwork, and time management."
With these questions answered and an understanding that the VEX robots were a tool used to help teach programming, Jesse and Josh led participants through two days of hands-on training with the programming of ROBOTC as well as the hardware of VEX robots. Participants explored intuitive and basic commands using the block coding features of ROBOTC in conjunction with the physical features of the VEX robot the first day, and on day two, participants made the progression to virtual reality with Robot Virtual World software (RVW) and explored how the text commands of ROBOTC differ from its block coding commands.
Don Kress from Pioneer CSD tests his block code with the VEX Squarebot in order to complete the maze challenge.
Top to Bottom: Shannon Reed (Fillmore CSD), Alex Smith (CA BOCES IT), and Dave Taylor (Franklinville CSD) troubleshoot their text coding commands in RVW.
In addition to Jesse's 16 years of experience at CMU (12 of which being in professional development), the Robotics Academy's research-based practices helped guide the hybrid training model. From anticipating participant questions to providing examples of student questions that participants should anticipate, Jesse and Josh led participants through a highly productive two days of learning. Jesse and Josh will continue this hybrid training online from mid-February through March in which participants will gain additional knowledge of the ROBOTC language, continue to track their progress with CMUs learning management system, and explore additional features of VEX robotics.

Buzzing Through Belfast
The coding initiative has taken hold in many of our elementary classrooms throughout the Cattaraugus-Allegany region, through the use of Bee-Bots, iPad Apps for Education, programming course platform Zulama, Lego League, and many more. Many of our teachers are breaking away from the 'shuttering' that ensued from the mere utterance of the word "coding". Coding, at its heart, is simply providing a set of directions that one must follow. It encourages critical thinking and problem solving skills in our students.
On March 16, Mrs. Hamer's Kindergarten embarked on their first hands-on coding experience under the expertise of technology integrator Mark Carls. cooperative learning groups of 4-5 students, under Mark's guidance, programmed our Bee's to maneuver through the grid provided.
Mark was very enthusiastic when describing his work with our students commenting, "Some students grasped the concept of the bees right away and I was able to provide more complex pathways almost immediately, while some students needed more direct support with one step programming tasks. All in all, it was great! The kids were very engaged and enthusiastic about using the Bee's. Every student wanted to touch them and in our small groups they were able to do just that." Through this one activity, Mark was able to provide students with an enriching differentiated critical thinking task.
Mrs. Hamer's Kindergarten class is eagerly awaiting Mark's next visit when they will be applying their knowledge of coding with the tangible Bee-Bots to coding with the Bee-Bot App.
College and Career Day at Alfred State College
Tenth graders from Andover, Belfast, Bolivar-Richburg, Cuba-Rushford, Fillmore, Portville, Scio, and Wellsville explored careers at Alfred State College. Over 40 businesses shared about careers in Allegany County. Student spent the day answering the question, "What's my next step?"
Unpacking Common Core Writing Standards in Belfast
It isn't very often that an entire district's faculty has an opportunity to see the vertical alignment of standards that impact every area of instruction. Curriculum development within districts is generally saved for the summer, and at that time teachers work within departments to map out their curriculum alignment for the upcoming school years. Very seldom do we have the opportunity to see the vertical alignment of the standards and how they apply to every grade level, let alone across several content areas.
Integrating iPads in a Global II Classroom
In September, I was given the opportunity to utilize an iPad cart for my classes until February. I used this opportunity to investigate how well high school students would be able to use them in a limited setting, for a limited amount of time. My primary goal was to try to establish a web source in which I could continue to interact with them online after the iPads were gone. I found two sites very useful for that purpose: Google Drive and MyBigCampus. When I created a document for the students, I uploaded it to Google Drive. The students then used their iPads to access and open the document in an iPad app, Notability. Having accessed the document, they could then edit and take notes directly using the Notability App. Another useful app that the students used was MyBigCampus. I would create entrance or exit tickets that the students would need to access on the application and answer. This app was also helpful to share links, images, audio and video files, and to create message board type activities for the class. MyBigCampus and Google Drive are both programs that function independently of the iPads, and I can continue to utilize them for the rest of the school year.
