Chinatown inspired by Obama win, sees no quick fix to economy
By Guo Shipeng
Barack Obama’s historic win has moved many Chinatown residents, who saw the election of a black President as an inspiration and also a potential blessing for the community, but some business owners are pessimistic about an imminent recovery from the current economic hardships.
“When Obama breaks the glass ceiling, it means that pretty much any child of color really does have a chance to become the president of the United States,” said Oakland City Council Member Jean Quan, a Chinese American Democrat.
"Secondly Obama is much more in tune to the urban issues. That's really important because most Asians still live in urban cores," Quan said.
She said programs "that were good for Asians" cut under the Republicans, could get rescued after Obama took office and "many more appointments for Asian Americans in the administration" could be made.
"Being raised in Hawaii, he is much more attuned to cultures of Asians and Asian Pacific Islanders," Quan said.
Cheng Chunzhen, a 73-year-old former teacher who moved to the United States from China four years ago, said she was deeply moved by Obama's life stories.
"He's so diligent, otherwise he couldn't have come this far," Cheng said. "It's really not easy for someone from an ethnic minority to achieve that."
But many in the business community didn't expect the Obama presidency to bring a quick fix for Chinatown's sagging businesses, which were hurt by the national downturn in the economy, Oakland's high crime rate and increasing competition.
"We'll see how Obama does. He definitely deserves a chance, but it's all up to how he handles and whom he picks for the cabinet," said Jennie Ong, Executive Director of the Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce.
Ong said Obama's election certainly gave the Chinese community a positive feeling as an ethnic minority, but people were more occupied with worries about the economy for the moment.
"Chinatown used to be the destination for Asian goods in the East Bay. People came here shopping and eating in the restaurants," Ong said. "Believe it or not, we were the fourth biggest source of sales tax revenues for the city. Now the ranking is very low."
Ong attributed the decline to the city's "crime image", the weak overall economy and competition from Ranch 99, a supermarket chain featuring Asian goods that had been expanding across the Bay Area.
"We are surrounded by Ranch 99. It really hurts Chinatown businesses," Ong said.
Still, Ong was hopeful that things would get better under Obama.
"Let's say there is hope," Ong said.

Attended the very glam Soho Rep benefit the other night in order to check out selections from new works by several fave playwrights (Mac Wellman, Len Jenkin) and others of whom I long to know more (Jenny Schwartz, Jason Grote, Pavol Liska and Kelly Cooper). Somehow they convinced Mewryl Streep, Matt Dillon, Tim Blake Nelson, and Jennifer Ehle, et al., to act in them. Nice! As drinks were quite accessible while hors d’oeuvres were not, I risked becoming overly merry, but am sure I behaved myself. Fairly sure. As far as I can recall.
What I certainly recall, definitely mean to see the Pavol Liska piece in its entirety and should congratulate Jenny Schwartz on winning the inaugural Dorothy Strelsin Playwriting Fellowship.

A Guide to Master Keying
What is it?
Master keying is a system for keying in which more than one “master key” has the power to operate one lock or all the other locks. It is used to restrict or allow access to different areas/offices in a facility based on a user’s access level. Essentially, the facilities manager can hold the master key, which gives him access to all areas, but another employee, could only have access to one location in the building.
Master Keying Schemes
A movable component is added to the traditional locking components. During “construction”, users can use keys that raise these components to the shear line. When the lock is ready to be used by the real owners, the components are removed so that the old keys no longer work. Construction keying is mainly used with pin-tumbler locks, though break-away components can also be used with other designs.
Interchangeable cores allow user-rekeying by physically removing the cylinder and replacing it with a different cylinder. Interchangeable core locks usually feature two shear lines which operate independently from each other. One shear line engages the bolt mechanism, and the other shear line operates the core removal mechanism.
Maison keying is a system that permits a lock to be opened with a large number of unique keys. Maison keying is very common in older schools and apartment building common areas. However, security may be compromised to ensure a larger number of users can all access shared resources. Maison keying is performed by removing components or extreme master keying levels, both of which greatly reduce the security of the lock and keying systems.
In a master ring, a secondary plug is located around the primary plug. The user keys operate the traditional shear line, but the master keys can operate the second or “master” shear line to open the lock. The function of master rings is similar to interchangeable cores, except the master ring doesn’t have a cylinder which can be removed.
Partial Position Progression
Partial position progression method of master keying in which certain positions are moveable while other positions are held constant. With split-pin master keying, this means there are certain cuts on the keys which are the same on every key in the system, and there are certain chambers in the locks which never have master pins in them. This method is very useful for small systems.
Rotating Constant Progression System
A form of master keying in which some positions are moveable and at least one position is held constant but the location of the constant is not fixed. This method is very useful for producing two-level systems with large numbers of change keys. Surprisingly, it produces more available change keys than total position progression does, in most cases. As with partial position progression, every key has at least one cut in common with the top master key and most locks have at least one chamber with no master pins in it.
A master keying scheme where the keyway profile of a key is used to restrict physical entry of the key to one or more locks. Keys with low levels of access will have key profiles that cannot be inserted into higher level locks. Keys with high levels of access will have most of their warding removed, allowing them to be used in all or most of the locks in the system. This scheme is commonly used in addition to traditional master keying schemes, but can also used alone. In warded locks, sectional keyways may be the only type of master keying available.
Total Position Progression
A method of master keying in which every position is progressed. With split-pin master keying, this means the lowest level change keys share no cuts in common with the top master key and most locks have a master pin in every chamber. This method is useful for producing systems with many levels of keying. Some consider it to be the default method to be used in every situation but it creates excessive incidental keys, which is contrary to ANSI standards.

New Music Releases Friday, Jan. 6, 2017
Sundara Karma – “Youth Is Only Ever Fun In Retrospect”
I’ve already found my favorite new artist of 2017 – Sundara Karma. The Reading, England-based rock band released its debut album “Youth Is Only Ever Fun In Retrospect,” Friday, Jan. 6. Sundara Karma is a four-piece band bursting with a youthful indie-rock sound that helped propel The Killers, Mumford and Sons and Arcade Fire up the music charts. The production of the single “Flame,” makes my ears anticipate those pop beats drop at the chorus. The tracks like “Loveblood” and “Olympia” perfectly capture the anxiety of young love. Throughout the album you can hear the urgency to express those feelings. Get “Youth Is Only Ever Fun In Retrospect” from Sundara Karma, Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify and Tidal.
Gone Is Gone – “Echolocation”
“Echolocation” fuses various forms of metal to create the first full-length album by Gone Is Gone released Friday, Jan. 6. Comprised of singer and bassist Troy Sanders of Mastodon, drummer Tony Hajjar from At the Drive-In, Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen, and film composer Mike Zarin, Gone Is Gone is less heavy metal and more heavy-handed production. Get a feel for the unique, metallic art project from the single “Gift” that blends rock, 90s grunge and early 00s nu metal. Get “Echolocation” from Gone Is Gone, Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify and Tidal.
Dropkick Murphys – “11 Short Stories of Pain & Glory”
The ninth studio album by Dropkick Murphys is another anthem for blue collar Americans in its signature Boston brogue and Celtic-punk attitude. On “11 Short Stories of Pain & Glory” released Friday, Jan. 6, the band looks back on its youthful exploits on “Sandlot” and tackles drug addiction on the track“Paying My Way.” The album also includes an intimate cover of “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” written by Rodgers and Hammerstein for the musical “Carousel.” See Dropkick Murphys Tuesday, Feb. 21 at the Sands Bethlehem Event Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Get “11 Short Stories of Pain & Glory” from Dropkick Murphys, Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify and Tidal.
Singles & EPs Released Friday, Jan. 6
Halestorm – “ReAniMate 3.0: The Covers EP”
Pennsylvania-based rock band Halestorm returns with its third EP of cover songs, “ReAniMate 3.0,” released Friday, Jan. 6. It includes covers of Metallica’s “Ride the Lightning,” Soundgarden’s “Fell on Black Days,” Whitesnake‘s “Still of the Night,” Joan Jett’s “I Hate Myself for Loving You,” “Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover,” by Sophie B. Hawkins and, “Heathens” by Twenty One Pilots.” Stream the entire album on YouTube, or get it from Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify and Tidal.
Dirty Projectors – “Little Bubble”
Dirty Projectors released “Little Bubble,” a methodically melodic song that “explores the metaphor of Earth itself as a fragile bubble of life in a cold, dead universe,” on Friday, Jan. 6. The band also released a correspondingly cold video that you can watch above. Get “Little Bubble” from Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify and Tidal.

6th Grade Girls
On Saturday, the 6th grade Wilton girl's team sponsored by Servco Oil traveled to Ridgefield to face off against St. Mary's. Wilton came out strong in the first quarter to lead 11-3; attributed to tough defense from Ellie Copley (3 rebounds, 1 block, 2 assists), Morgan Lebek (2 pts, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block), Ellie Coffey (2 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals) and Catherine Dineen (1 rebound, 3 steals, 1 block), who didn't let an injury deter her determination to be aggressive in the passing lanes. The team continued to dominate throughout the game with consistent scoring from Gracie Kaplan (7 points, 2 rebounds, 2 blocks), Amelia Hughes (8 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist) and Olivia Rossi (4 points, 3 rebounds). The final score was 27-9.

text: Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, with most survivors reporting dysfunctions of motor, sensation, deglutition, cognition, emotion, and speech, Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), one of noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques, is able to modulate neural excitability of brain regions and has been utilized in neurological and psychiatric diseases. Moreover, a large number of studies have shown that the rTMS presents positive effects on function recovery of stroke patients. In this review, we would like to summarized the clinical benefits of rTMS for stroke rehabilitation, including improvements of motor impairment, dysphagia, depression, cognitive function, and central post-stroke pain. In addition, this review will also discuss the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying rTMS-mediated stroke rehabilitation, especially immune regulatory mechanisms, such as regulation of immune cells and inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, the neuroimaging technique as an important tool in rTMS-mediated stroke rehabilitation has been discussed, to better understanding the mechanisms underlying the effects of rTMS. Finally, the current challenges and future prospects of rTMS-mediated stroke rehabilitation are also elucidated with the intention to accelerate its widespread clinical application.

Feeling equally excited and sad, I peddled off toward Charleston for the final leg of my journey. Excited because I knew my goal destination was within easy reach, and sad knowing that upon arrival my biking trip would be over.
What started out in the morning as a nightmarish ride on highway 17, sharing the road (not on the shoulder, but the actual vehicle lane) with fast moving cars and trucks, quickly turned into a peaceful ride along quiet country roads. At one point the police had blockaded my route with their vehicles, lights flashing. I rode around the blockade (my inner rebel urging me on) and soon found out why the road was closed. There had been some resent heavy rains causing the roadways in the area to flood. I peddled on, riding through the flowing flood waters while a helicopter circled overhead. Looking down I watched tiny schools of fish dart through the spokes of my tire as it slowly churned through the water. It was a cool, refreshing part of the ride, and my tires and sandals benefitted by getting a good washing too! Soon I was riding the final few miles into Charleston down a bike path that alternated from gravel, to grass, to pavement. Then, the final push up and over the bridge and down into town – yay! I made it to Charleston!!!! 🙂
Thank you for following along in spirit with me via my blog. And, thanks for your encouraging comments, texts, and phone calls. And especially thanks to Susi and Chris who were the SAG drivers and brought me cold drinks and charged my phone when I ran dry out in the middle of nowhere. I will make one or two more posts with stats from my trip, and some sites around Charleston.
I’m ready to start planning my next adventure!

Everything conspired against 13-year-old Steve Barban’s sole passion: to play hockey professionally. He had to work a paper route for two years before he could afford equipment. When he did get on a team, practice was a 65 km bus trip away from his hometown of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. Then, just before high school try-outs, the talented 5’8″ centre was injured in a 10-car pileup. Litigation ensued, and his family’s lawyer advised no sports until the lawsuit was settled. Despite his back injury, Barban still regrets his decision not to play. “I ended up winning $13,750,” says Barban. “Man, that’s nothing now.”
Still, Barban’s love of hockey didn’t end with a stolen dream. Today, the 43-year-old owner of Ottawa investment firm Gentry Capital Corp. and eight Dairy Queen franchises is playing the game from the other side of the boards as the proud owner of the Cumberland Grads, a Central Junior A Hockey League team based in Navan, Ont. (The second-highest level for kids ages 16 to 20.)
Now Barban is enjoying the grown-up fantasy of so many other wide-eyed boys who first laid their hands on a Sher-Wood and heard their blades slice through fresh ice. “I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t do anything for me,” says Barban. “There’s no question I walk through the rink and get a kick out of the fact I’m the owner.”
That means “riding” the team’s wins and losses (heartbreakingly, too many in the first year) and enjoying the business, politics and sweaty arena scene that is the essence of the game, says Barban. It’s all about the cheering crowds, the local home-team fans, the kids who get a kick out of tapping the players’ gloves as they go on or off the ice, and even dealing with NHL scouts who come to watch the games.
Hockey fanatic aside, Barban also had other motivations when he purchased the team last year. He had heard prospective buyers were planning to move the Grads away from Navan, a village 20 km east of Ottawa, where Barbannow lives. “I didn’t want to let that happen.” After a heart-to-heart with his wife, Krista, Barban went for it. He won’t disclose the team’s exact purchase price (between $100,000 and $200,000) but admits he soon set aside any preconceived notions of glamour. When you own a team at this level, Barban says, you are a jack of all trades. And he was not prepared for just how much time it would take, despite hiring his brother as full-time operations manager.
Barban devotes about one hour of “brain time” a day to the team. “Running this junior hockey club is identical to running the Ottawa Senators or Toronto Maple Leafs, just in miniature,” says Barban. “There are so many aspects to worry about, from team meals to laundry to names on the backs of sweaters to merchandise sales.” At any given game, you might find Barban taking tickets at the door or on the PA system announcing the game.
But it’s not all business. Barban, who currently plays hockey with a local men’s club, enjoys “throwing the puck around” at Grads practices. He attends about two games a week, and hits the road for about half of the 30 awaygames. As a player and an owner, Barban especially enjoys the camaraderie in the dressing room: “[I love] the kibitzing that goes on after a game. With [the Grads], I’m able to joke around with the coaching staff.” While Barban leaves the coaching to the coaches, he admits to feeling some “mother hen” responsibilities for the players, and wants to ensure they are “treated fairly.”
Barban’s decision to keep the team in Navan has been popular among the locals. Sponsorship is up 150% and attendance has doubled to about 230 fans per game, though the team is still in the red. Ninety percent of the time, the team’s net income will range from a $10,000 loss to a $10,000 profit, says Barban. He’d be happy to break even in 10 years, “but it could happen sooner.” After a painful last-place finish in 2007, the Grads tweaked their lineup. Through late January, the team was in first place in its division and, boasts Barban, “there are 12 players from Navan.”

Playing Hands Together
Harmonic and Melodic Intervals
In the art, the carpenters are progressing with building the house. In the music, we are progressing with building the stability of the hand by playing harmonic intervals. In this piece, only 5ths are played harmonically. In the supporting material from the Technic and Performance books, harmonic 2nds, 3rds & 4ths are also used.
Teach the last measure first, to practice the hands-together moment. Then, work on the right hand alone, looking at the melodic 3rds, 4ths, and 5ths. Finally, add the left hand, making sure to count the correct number of harmonic 5ths.

A NEWBURY businesswoman is walking the full 184 miles of the Thames Path later this month.
Suki Malli, who owns the DAJ Collection handbag shop in Parkway, is undertaking the challenge to raise funds for the Mary Hare Foundation.
She is aiming to complete the walk in just eight days, staying at hotels along the River Thames on the way.
On the longest day, she will walk a total of 25 miles.
Any money raised will help pay for the relocation of Mary Hare Primary School to the same site as the current secondary school in Snelsmore Common.
The school positively impacts and changes the lives of many deaf children and their families, something that is made possible through support from the surrounding community.
Mary Hare Primary School is very close to Mrs Malli’s heart.
Her son, Daneil, was born severely deaf and joined the school in 1998.
Daneil had minimal speech up until the age of nine and was reliant on gestures and lip-reading.
In 2001, after much deliberation with professionals and support from the school, Daneil received his first cochlear implant, an electronic medical device that replaces the function of the damaged inner ear.
Mary Hare School and The Portland Hospital, London, worked tirelessly in helping Daneil to develop his speech.
His sisters always encouraged him to talk and would join in with his daily gruelling hour of speech therapy at home.
Daneil now works part-time at Tesco, where he talks endlessly with customers, while also furthering his studies.
In 2011, Daneil was offered a cochlear implant on his other ear, after doing so well from the first.
If you would like to support Mrs Malli, donations can be made to her just-giving page at justgiving.com/fundraising/Suki-malli or in person at DAJ Collection, Parkway shopping centre.

Western Bulldogs great Brad Johnson believes utility Mitch Wallis' time at the Kennel is coming to a close given the extensive line of players that are currently favoured for selection.
Wallis featured in the Dogs' opening two games of this season and was dropped ahead of the club's Round 3 clash with the Kangaroos after a goalless start to his campaign.
The Bulldogs' vice-captain has since flourished in the VFL with Footscray but has is yet to return to the Luke Beveridge's side despite numerous weekly changes to the senior side's selection planning.
The 28-year-old remains off-contract this season and has had his name brought up as a consideration for the Bombers and Suns by media personalities in the past.
Now, Johnson believes that Wallis should be beginning to consider his options elsewhere from 2022 as he remains on the outer of selection under Beveridge.
“Mitch has fought through scenarios like this in the past, but I think where we’re at at the moment is there seems like there’s five or six players that are in front of Mitch in terms of selection week-in, week-out,” Johnson said Fox Footy's Saturday Stretch.
“Some are younger and developing in the game … and they’ve brought Mitch Hannan in who seems to be playing in front of Wallis at the moment as well.
“On the back of all that, if he wants to play consistent senior football, I’m not sure whether that’s going to be at the Western Bulldogs in the future.
“(It’d be a) really tough decision … but he’s just not in the selection mind at the moment of Luke Beveridge with others around. It might be time to play senior football elsewhere.”
Wallis sits among a host of Bulldogs players fighting for selection, with the club pressing their premiership contention with a 9-2 start to the season.
The Dogs have unveiled five debutants in 2021, including Anthony Scott, Buku Khamis, Lachlan McNeil, Jordon Sweet and more recently, Riley Garcia.
Defender Jason Johannisen was also out of the frame for selection in the early stages of this season but has since regained his place in the 22.
Young midfielder Patrick Lipinski is another Bulldog who has dominated in the reserves this year but has found himself dropped from Beveridge's side throughout 2021.

I didn't shoot very much today because my mind was focused on other things – namely, the One Hour Swim. I wanted to improve on my January 9 performance, and did, by 90 yards. Perhaps more importantly, I was not comatose afterwards, so that's the real testament to my conditioning.
I did manage to get this nice picture of Kent Lau with an expression that sums up his enthusiasm for swimming. The rest of the (300) frames on the day Matt shot, and I'm including a few of them here so instead of looking at my photography, you can see my excuse for not doing much photography today.


Jessica Ennis's coach Toni Minichiello wins accolade
The man who trained Jessica Ennis to Olympic gold at London 2012 has been named coach of the year.
Antonio "Toni" Minichiello was honoured by Sports Coach UK, a body that supports sports training across the country.
He has coached Ennis in her native Sheffield since she was 11 years old.
"Toni Minichiello began coaching Jess Ennis when she was an 11-year-old schoolgirl trying out athletics in her summer holidays. Her Olympic triumph 15 years later was testament to both the enduring strength of their relationship and Minichiello's ability to tread that fine line between pushing his charge incredibly hard and keeping her injury-free in the most physically demanding event of all. He was the only Briton to coach a home star to an athletics gold in London. With Ennis still in her prime, further assaults on global titles are already being planned."
The nominees for the award included Team GB cycling coach Paul Manning and Jenny Archer, who trains six-times Paralympic gold-medallist David Weir.
Earlier in 2012, Minichiello coached Ennis to silver in the Indoor World Championships in Istanbul and a new British heptathlon record at the annual Hypo Meeting event in Götzis, Austria
She went on to smash that record at London 2012 with a score 6,995 points in the multi-discipline event.
Minichiello has said that the 26-year-old's best performances are still to come.
British Olympic Association chairman Lord Sebastian Coe recently described Minichiello as a "world-class" coach whose example could inspire continued success for British athletics.
His award comes at the end of what Sport Coach UK head judge Joslyn Hoyte Smith described as "an incredible season for sport in the UK".

Everton got their League Cup campaign underway with an impressive away win at a very game Lincoln City this evening.
The Blues went behind after just 21 seconds through a Harry Anderson goal, but quickly gained control of the game and exerted their authority.
Moise Kean spearheaded the attack, with Fabian Delph coming in to make his competitive debut for Everton in midfielder, while Alex Iwobi put in a solid performance on the left wing.
Starting a strong line up paid off, and both Iwobi and Richarlison got their first goals of the campaign and will both be hoping there are many more to come.
Marco Silva instructed his players to give their shirts to the 1,800 travelling Evertonians at full time, and man of the match Lucas Digne said, “It was difficult. We showed character to come back.
“It’s an important win for the season. When I can score it’s good for the team. We have to defend better but we’re happy with the win.
“It was a hard game. To play away against a smaller team is hard. But we proved our character tonight.”

BY SALISU IBRAHIM, KANO – The Court of Appeal sitting in Kaduna has affirmed the re-election of Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The five-man panel of Appeal Court Judges led by Justice Tijjani Abubakar on Friday unanimously ruled that, the appeal filled by Abba Kabiru Yusuf and his party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) lacks merit.
In dismissing the appeal in its entirety, the Appeal Court affirmed that Governor Ganduje was duly elected by the majority of voters cast in the March 9 and March 22 Kano gubernatorial and supplementary elections.
However, reacting to the judgment, counsel to the appellants, Alhaji Abba Kabiru Yusuf and the PDP, Bashir Yusuf Muhammad stated that they will be approaching the Supreme Court to appeal the judgment.
He noted that reasons for the decisions reached by the Appeal Court in its judgment have not been given.
“We will get the full judgment to know the basis of the judgement before proceeding to the Supreme Court”, he said.


Special seminar with Dicke fellowship candidate: Cheng Zang, Caltech University
The inflationary theory has been added into the picture of the well-established lambda cold dark matter (ΛCDM) standard model to explain the initial conditions of our universe. The quantum fluctuations in the early universe were stretched into cosmic scale during the inflation and left signs in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). The successful measurement of the CMB temperature power spectrum induced by scalar fluctuations marks the high point of modern cosmology. The tensor fluctuations, or the primordial gravitational waves, could leave a unique B-mode pattern in CMB polarization. The detection of the primordial B modes will be strong supporting evidence of inflation and give us opportunities to study physics at energy scales far beyond what can ever be accessed in laboratory experiments. As a graduate student, I have been working in the BICEP/Keck (BK) collaboration building B-mode telescopes for the past 6 years. In this talk, I will discuss the major challenge our B-mode experiment is facing – the polarized galactic foregrounds. I’ll talk about the development and deployment of the first BICEP Array receiver at 30/40 GHz, which will improve our constraints on the synchrotron foreground in the BK sky patch. I’ll conclude with the preliminary results from the receiver’s 1st-year data.

Fish feed is produced by fish feed pellet machine, usually called single screw extruder. A complete fish feed production line can output good quality of fish feed. Then do you know what are the ingredients of fish feed? Let’s check what are the necessary ingredients and some raw material you may not know.
Basic principles for making fish feed
Before designing a reasonable feed pellet, it is necessary to understand the species of fish cultured and their growth stages. It can help you determine the levels of nutrients such as protein and energy in the feed. It is necessary not only to meet the protein requirements of fish growth, but also to make the ratio of energy and protein moderate. Too high or too low energy-to-protein ratio are not good for fish growth. When designing the fish feed pellet, we must also consider the relationship between feed nutrition and capacity. Not only to ensure that the fish can take in sufficient nutrition, but also to make them feel full.
The principles to select feed ingredients
As far as possible, the more types of raw materials, the better. So as to ensure that the essential amino acids in the feed try to reach a balance as much as possible to meet the fish’s needs for various essential amino acids to the maximum. Must not use moldy raw materials. Moldy raw materials contain a large number of germs and toxins, feeding these feeds is very likely to cause fish disease. Although cotton meal and rapeseed meal are cheap and have high protein content, they contain anti-nutritional factors. Excessive use will affect fish growth. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the amount of cotton meal and rapeseed meal, which generally do not exceed 10%.
Fish feed raw materials should pay attention to
Many farmers like to use cheap oil residues and meat meals. But such raw materials are mixed with a large amount of animal skin, which affects the smooth progress of the pulverization and granulation process. Thus fish are not easily digested after consumption. The fats are saturated fats, and some have started to rancid because of long storage time. Fish use of saturated fat is low, excessive intake of rancid fat can also lead to diseases such as fatty liver in fish, the amount of such raw materials should be controlled below 5%.
Production flow of fish feed
The technological process of scientifically processing fish feed generally includes processes such as pulverization, mixing, and granulation. Where conditions permit, it also includes quenching and tempering before granulation. The crushing particle size is too coarse or too fine. Generally, the raw materials of the fish compound feed should pass through a 40-mesh sieve. Conditioning is the process of mixing feed with steam before pelleting.
Conditioning makes the starch gelatinized, which can improve the digestibility of fish. The fluidity of the quenched and tempered feed is good, which is conducive to the formation of the feed. The key to quenching and conditioning is to control the quenching and tempering steam, which requires the use of saturated steam. Generally, the required steam amount is calculated based on the 5% of the material. In addition, the conditioning temperature should be determined according to the composition of the feed. Due to the high protein content of the fish feed, the feed temperature needs to be above 85 ° C. The pellet size of pellet feed should be determined by the cleft width of the fish. And the pellet size of the feed should be less than 1/2 of the cleft width.
Use of additives
Feed additives are a general term for substances that improve the quality of animal products. Adding additives to feed can promote digestion and absorption of nutrients, regulate body metabolism. Also can ensure animal health, improve nutrient utilization efficiency, and improve animal production levels. For vitamins and mineral additives, because of the large variety and low consumption, and the high technical content of the combination of various vitamins and minerals, farmers have to buy monomers of microbiotin and minerals. Can not achieve a balanced mix of nutrients. Premixes of vitamins and minerals produced by regular manufacturers can be selected and added reasonably according to the species and growth stage of the cultured fish.
We are fish feed production machine manufacturer, you can check our website and product extruder to see more details.

This year’s Newman Games will be held on Wednesday 8th February on the pitches beside Centra. Present Sports Officer, Paddy Guiney, spoke to the College Tribune about the event and explained that he “wanted to do it to promote a campus wide sports day between every faculty”. In his view, the students of UCD already have a pride in their college and he wants to build on that.
In 2011, the Games were held late in Semester Two due to the ‘Save Our Ball’ campaign, organised by UCD Students’ Union’s current Campaigns and Communications Vice-President Brendan Lacey, the first Sports Officer. Lacey compliments his successor on his work, stating that in his opinion “[Guiney’s] been a far better sports officer than I … I’m just delighted to see the position working so well and bringing new people into the Union”.
Guiney explains that this year the games have taken on an ‘Old Skool’ twist; all of the events are “games that we used to have in primary school”. They will include tugs-of-war, rounder’s, egg and spoon races, as well as wheel barrow racing. The teams will also compete on obstacle courses and bungee runs. A Trad band from the Irish house will be playing on the day and face painting is encouraged.
Teams have the opportunity to compete for a range of prizes with the winners receiving the inaugural Sports Day trophy and medals. Other prizes include free entry into the official Sports Day after party that night for the top five teams, while Spin 103.8 goodie bags and Red Bull have also been organised for participants.
The Sports Officer informed the Tribune that he’d “done [his] best to cut costs this year”, his sports crew and he focused on using social media sites to publicise the event. It was run in conjunction with Seachtain na Gaeilge and the UCD Fashion Show in a further attempt to enhance awareness of the Games without increasing costs.
Both Brendan Lacey and Paddy Guiney are enthusiastic about the success of the day with Lacey stating that he thinks that it is “going to be absolutely fantastic”. Guiney will be pleased if his Games “promote students getting to know each other from all over UCD and [for them] to have fun on the day with the events.”
Students from each faculty are encouraged to organise a team of five members from their class; teams can be either male or female, preferably both. The entry fee is €4 per person with all proceeds going towards the Mark Owens Medical Fund and Asthma Society Ireland. The Newman Games kick off at 12pm.

Many chicken owners often wonder about the variety of foods that their chickens can safely consume. One such option that comes to mind is lettuce. As a popular leafy green, lettuce is enjoyed by people around the world and offers health benefits, making it an interesting option to consider for our feathered friends.
Chickens can, in fact, eat lettuce without any harm, making it a suitable addition to their diet. It is important, however, to ensure that the lettuce is provided in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Lettuce is low in calories and high in water content, which makes it a refreshing and hydrating snack, but should not be the primary source of nutrition for chickens.
Incorporating lettuce into the diet of chickens can be an enjoyable and beneficial experience for both the owner and the birds. It is essential to recognize the importance of moderation and variety, as a well-rounded diet is crucial for the health and happiness of one’s chickens.
Is It Safe for Chickens to Eat Lettuce?
Yes, it is safe for chickens to eat lettuce. Lettuce is a healthy and nutritious treat for your backyard flock. It contains vitamins and minerals, like vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, and calcium, which are essential for maintaining the health and well-being of your chickens.
What to Look Out for When Feeding Chickens Lettuce
Here are a few things to keep in mind when feeding lettuce to your chickens:
- Varieties of lettuce: Chickens can eat several types of lettuce, including romaine, butterhead, leaf, and iceberg. However, iceberg lettuce is not as nutritionally rich as other varieties.
- Organic lettuce: It’s advisable to offer your chickens organic lettuce or lettuce that has not been treated with pesticides or other harmful chemicals. This can help protect the health of your flock.
- Freshness: Ensure the lettuce you feed your chickens is fresh and not wilted or decaying. Spoiled lettuce can lead to digestive issues and other health problems.
- Moderation: Lettuce should be offered as a treat and not as their main source of nutrition. Chickens primarily require a balanced diet of grains, protein, and other nutrients.
- Choking hazards: Large chunks or whole leaves of lettuce can pose a choking hazard for your chickens. Therefore, it’s essential to chop the lettuce into smaller pieces before feeding it to your flock.
Can Chickens Eat Different Parts of Lettuce?
Can Chickens Eat Lettuce Leaves?
Yes, chickens can eat lettuce leaves. In fact, lettuce is a nutritious treat for chickens, as it contains essential vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin A, Vitamin K, and potassium. However, remember to feed lettuce in moderation, as it can’t replace a balanced diet for your chickens.
- Romaine Lettuce: This type of lettuce is richer in nutrients and is ideal for chickens.
- Iceberg Lettuce: Although it has less nutritional content, chickens will still enjoy this variety.
It’s essential to wash the lettuce leaves before feeding them to your chickens to remove any pesticides or dirt.
Can Chickens Eat Lettuce Stems?
Chickens can eat lettuce stems, but it’s not their favorite part. The stems are quite fibrous and may be more difficult for chickens to digest compared to leaves. You could still offer the stems as treats, but make sure to chop them into smaller, manageable pieces for your birds.
Can Chickens Eat Lettuce Plants/Stalks?
Yes, chickens can eat lettuce plants and stalks. However, the same caution applies as with lettuce leaves: feed them in moderation. It is also important to plant these lettuce varieties safe for chicken consumption, as some types may not be suitable.

Can Chickens Eat Lettuce Flowers?
Lettuce flowers are safe for chickens to consume, but they are not particularly beneficial nutritionally. Chickens will likely be more attracted to the leaves and other parts of the plant. If you do allow your chickens to forage in your garden, be sure to supervise them to ensure they don’t eat harmful plants or flowers.
Can Chickens Eat Different Types of Lettuce
Can Chickens Eat Iceberg Lettuce?
Chickens can eat iceberg lettuce without any problems. In fact, it can be a healthy treat for them to enjoy. Iceberg lettuce is low in calories and provides a good source of vitamins A, K, and C, as well as minerals like calcium and iron. However, it is essential to keep in mind that lettuce should not replace their regular diet. Feeding chickens too much lettuce could lead to an imbalance in their nutritional intake, as it contains minimal protein and calories.
To feed your chickens iceberg lettuce, you can:
- Chop the lettuce into small, bite-sized pieces
- Mix it with other fruits or vegetables for a more balanced treat
- Scatter the pieces on the ground for a fun foraging experience
Can Chickens Eat Romaine Lettuce?
Yes, chickens can also eat romaine lettuce. Romaine lettuce is a healthier option compared to iceberg, as it contains more fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Like iceberg lettuce, it is low in calories and can be an excellent treat for your chickens. When fed in moderation, romaine lettuce provides your chickens with essential nutrients needed to maintain their health.
To feed your chickens romaine lettuce, you can:
- Chop the leaves into small, manageable pieces
- Combine with other vegetables or fruits for a varied snack
- Offer the lettuce whole for a fun and engaging pecking activity
Can Chickens Eat Prickly Lettuce?
Prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola), also known as wild lettuce, is not recommended for consumption by chickens. It contains a milky sap called lactucarium that can lead to digestive issues and other health problems in chickens. While chickens may not be overly attracted to prickly lettuce due to its bitter taste and spiky texture, it is best to remove any prickly lettuce from their foraging area and avoid feeding it to them. Instead, consider offering safe alternatives like iceberg or romaine lettuce to your flock.
Can Chickens Eat Rotten Lettuce?
Chickens can indeed eat lettuce, and it often serves as a healthy addition to their diet. However, when it comes to rotten lettuce, the situation changes. Consuming rotten lettuce can be detrimental to a chicken’s health and well-being.
Firstly, rotten lettuce loses much of its nutritional value as it decomposes. Chickens require a balanced mix of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients to maintain good health, and feeding them rotten lettuce can deprive them of these essential components.
Secondly, the decomposition process in lettuce attracts harmful bacteria and mold. When chickens consume rotten lettuce containing mold or bacteria, they run the risk of developing infections and other health issues. Some common problems include digestive upsets, respiratory infections, and weakened immune system.
To ensure your chickens stay healthy, it’s best to offer them fresh, clean lettuce. Choosing crisp, green lettuce is ideal, as it provides the best nutrients for the chickens. When feeding them lettuce, consider tearing it into smaller pieces to make it more manageable for the chickens to consume.

In general, it’s crucial to keep your chickens’ living environment clean and avoid offering rotten or spoiled food. Regularly inspecting their feed and water supply is vital, as well as promptly removing any rotting fruits, vegetables, or grains that may be present. By prioritizing the health of your flock and providing wholesome food options, you can be confident that your chickens will lead healthy, productive lives.
