Denver's Mexican Scene: From Chingon Carnitas to Hanging Tequila Barrels
Lola Restaurant

By Ed Avis
Denver is a booming city that mixes a hip urban feel with world class outdoor recreation opportunities, so it's no surprise that the restaurant scene is hopping. And Mexican restaurants are keeping pace – traditional Mexican spots are finding new customers and modern interpretations of the cuisine are taking off.
Here are brief portraits of four thriving Denver Mexican restaurants.
Chingon Mexican Bistro
Many chefs are inspired by their grandmother's recipes, but few are as close to the source of those recipes as Chef David Lopez of el Chingon Mexican Bistro. He gets to work beside his
David Lopez portrait
grandmother, Gloria Nuñez, nearly every day.
"My grandmother just turned 80, but she still wants to be in there," Lopez says. "We can't get her not to work! But the next thing you know, she's picking up a 50-pound bag of beans. We don't want her to do that anymore!"
Lopez's abuelita may be his biggest influence, but he learned how powerful quality Mexican food can be from Mexican restaurant innovator Richard Sandoval. One of his first jobs after graduating from the Culinary School of the Rockies was at Sandoval's Denver restaurant Zengo.
"Chef Richard Sandoval had just opened Zengo (in 2006), and I was doing pastry for him," Lopez remembers. "Chef Sandoval was the first one to really put (regional Mexican) food forward, back in the early 2000s, and we kind of took that as a lead."
Lopez worked for a couple of other local fine restaurants in Boulder and Denver until 2012, when the family decided it was time to launch their own venture. The recipes of Grandmother Nuñez, a native of Mexico City who learned to cook as a mother of seven, composed the heart of the menu. And Nuñez herself is the heart of the kitchen.
"A lot of my grandmother's recipes are still on the menu," Lopez says. "Like her enchiladas verde, that's one of the dishes that is like my soul food. When I was growing up my grandma would make whatever we wanted on our birthday, and I always asked for that. So I put that on the menu, and I don't touch the recipe."
Some of the recipes on the menu today incorporate Nuñez's classic recipes with modern interpretations. For example, the Chingon Carnitas is Lopez's own take on the braised pork shoulder, but with his abuelita's salsa verde.
Other items on the current menu include the Rellenos de Hongo – three roasted Anaheim chiles filled with organic wild mushrooms and queso Oaxaca, plated with roasted corn and Anaheim pepper crema – and Conejo – a whole roasted rabbit roulade paired with pepian rojo salsa, braised carrots, and fresh pear.
"I change the menu biannually," Lopez says. "Probably about 30 percent of each menu is my grandmother's recipes and 70 percent is whatever happens to come out of my brain. During menu changes I ask her about things she grew up eating. In my family food is about the culture, so I talk to them and take what makes a great memory for them and incorporate that into my menu."
Lopez favors local ingredients whenever possible. He says customers appreciate it when he lists the locations of his food sources on the menu, and two of his four beer taps are reserved for local brews.
Next up for Lopez is a new restaurant called Cultura, which he plans to open at the end of this year. It will feature Latin food from around the world…but no doubt the menu will also be influenced by his abuelita.

Jen Broyles helped launch in 2002 in Denver's Pearl Street neighborhood, when they mastered the art of free samples.
"While I wasn't the first person in Denver to have mole on the menu or Mexican seafood, we combined that with local seasonal ingredients and fine service, and I think what we were doing was revolutionary," Fader says. "But there were people who came to the restaurant and were like, 'Huh? I came to a Mexican restaurant and don't see a burrito on the menu.'"
Fader says he had to win over those customers by offering familiar dishes, then getting them to try others. That strategy was best manifest in their $2 Monday chicken taco night. For $4, customers could get a taco and a can of beer.
"Then we'd hand out free ceviche and say, 'Here, please try this!" Fader says. "Jen Broyles gets the credit for that strategy. We spent a lot of time giving away free stuff, but after a time they started coming back."
These days there is no shortage of customers who appreciate quality Mexican dining at Lola, which moved to a bigger location in 2006. Seafood is a focus – dishes like Hamachi Tiradito, made with thinly sliced Hamachi (a tuna-like fish), roasted macadamia nuts and cascabel chile oil – but the menu includes a wide range of non-seafood delicacies. Fader says a popular dish is the Crispy Fried Chicken Mole appetizer, small pieces of fried chicken thigh meat served with a mole verde.
Fader, a Maryland native, got turned on to Mexican food while cooking at Jax Fish House in Denver. Some of his Mexican colleagues brought in home-made specialties.
"In particular I remember one lady who made tamales and huraches, all these things with masa, and she would bring them in for us," Fader says. "I was just a young 20-something chef and I fell in love with not just the flavors, which I found completely exciting, but also with the culture of the food."
Fader was able to apply that love of Mexican food and culture when the owner of Jax, Dave Query, told him he wanted to launch a Mexican seafood place, which led to Lola.
Despite the restaurant's success, Fader says they still hand out samples.
"If you go anywhere in Mexico, you are met by a host of folks looking out for you," he says. "That's the feeling we like to emulate here. We're glad you're here, and we try to keep handing out freebies. I enjoy showing that Mexican food is really exciting cuisine."
La Loma Restaurant occupies a dear spot in the heart of thousands of Denver residents – it is where many first tried Mexican food, especially the famous green chile and other recipes
The bar at La Loma, with tequila barrel hanging from the ceiling
made by founder Savina Mendoza. The Mendoza family sold the restaurant to Sonny Brinkerhoff in 1976, but the recipes remain.
"The menu is based on the recipes from Savina Mendoza," says Deanna Price, the restaurant's marketing manager. "Her green chile is famous. It has big chunks of pork, and is spicy but not overwhelmingly hot."
The menu features a broad range of Mexican classics, such as chile rellenos and carnitas tacos. But there are also many fine dishes that would be unfamiliar at a strictly traditional Mexican spot, such as Plato al Olivo – chicken, asparagus, broccoli, bell peppers, carrots and mushrooms sautéed in olive oil.
The restaurant has also long been known for their homemade flour tortillas. A BE&SCO tortilla machine in the main dining room produces 400 to 500 of the beloved discs each day, in full view of customers.
One thing that has changed recently is the restaurant's location – last November they moved from an 1800s-era building in the Highlands neighborhood that had housed La Loma for about 35 years to a busy downtown spot. Much of the old restaurant made the trip, including the famous stained glass.
Another interesting feature of La Loma that moved to the new location is the tequila barrel hanging over the bar. It's not just a decoration – the barrel is full of reposado tequila that is tapped for certain cocktails and shots.
"Don Julio had put in the barrel in the previous location," Price says. "It's an American White Oak barrel. We just add bottles of tequila as it gets low. When we moved, we emptied it, and switched to Arta tequila, a local company."
La Loma is expanding in the next few years. Price says a sister restaurant, Sierra Grill, will soon open in Lonetree, Colorado, and two more La Lomas will open by 2020, she says.
So soon many more people will be introduced to the recipes of Savina Mendoza.
Uno Mas Taqueria
Tacos are wildly popular these days. Chefs love how tacos let them try so many

combinations of tastes in soft little packets, and customers love how they can enjoy two or three distinctly different tastes in one taco meal.
Uno Mas Taqueria y Cantina takes full advantage of that popularity. When customers walk into the restaurant, which has two locations, they get a pencil and a long, skinny paper menu that lists 14 street tacos – only one costs more than $4 -- six tortas, and five apps. They check off their selections and hand it to the server.
And those selections can be hard to make! The tacos include Smoked Chicken (chicken marinated in Bohemia beer, guajillo salsa, pickled onions, cotija cheese); Carnitas (smoked Duroc pork shoulder, orange, radish, poblanos, roasted tomatillo salsa, cotija cheese); and Sea of Cortez (chili rubbed sea scallops and shrimp, fresh avocado, cilantro, ranchero salsa, cotija cheese); to name just a few.
"I always knew that one way or another my work would revolve around tacos. There's just so much you can do with them," says Rick Sharman, Uno Mas' executive chef. "There are so many styles of meat, so many styles of cooking. I love chiles – the flavors you can get from them are amazing. And to apply those to pork, goat, lamb, or whatever, really highlights and accentuates their taste."
Sharman can't take credit for the restaurant's current list of tacos – he joined the company just this past spring. He previously worked at Fonda in San Antonio and restaurants in Austin, the Virgin Islands, and Alaska.
Sharman says he'll be evaluating the menu over the coming months, trying some new tacos and deleting those that aren't selling well. He'll be keeping the popular ones, though, such as the carne asada, duck confit, and lengua.
"We sell a lot of lengua – that shocked me," he says. "Our pork belly taco is also amazing. It's an ancho chile coffee rub, smoked for three hours over oak, then sliced up and heated on a plancha. We add avocado, queso and salsa. It's one of our biggest sellers."

Teaser lands for Nicolas Winding Refn's The Neon Demon
Editor's Choice, Latest News and Videos
Set to make its bow at Cannes this year, the first teaser for Nicolas Winding Refn's The Neon Demon has landed, and it is as glossy, synthy (if that's even a word) and mysterious as we could have hoped for.
Here's the synopsis:
When aspiring model Jesse moves to Los Angeles, her youth and vitality are devoured by a group of beauty-obsessed women who will use any means necessary to get what she has.
Starring Elle Fanning (Somewhere, Malificent), Jena Malone (Inherent Vice, The Hunger Games), Abbey Lee (Max Max: Fury Road), Bella Heathcote (Dark Shadows), Keanu Reeves (John Wick, The Matrix) and Christina Hendricks (Mad Men, Drive), The Neon Demon sees Refn reunite with Drive and Only God Forgives composer Cliff Martinez and editor Mat Newman. The film is produced by Lene Børglum and co-written by Nicolas Winding Refn, Mary Laws and Polly Stenham.
Set for a summer release in UK cinemas, here's that teaser:
Simon is a journalism tutor in London, who also just happens to be a movie fanatic, with a craving for the darker side of cinema. He has written three books - on the horror films of director Bob Clark (2014), the history of the character Norman Bates (2015) and the work of British exploitation director Pete Walker (2017). He is currently working with director Richard Loncraine to explore all avenues in a bid to orchestrate the re-release of 1978 Mia Farrow chiller Full Circle

Linkin Park performed alongside dozens of other artists Friday night (Saturday NZT) at the Hollywood Bowl to honour the band's lead vocalist, Chester Bennington, who died in July.
The three hour show was called Linkin Park Celebrates Life in Honour of Chester Bennington and was led by Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda.
26p from each issue sold in the United Kingdom and online through Newsstand.co.uk goes straight to the One More Light fund, established in Chester's memory by Music For Relief, the charity he co-founded.
He shared: "I wrote something about eight days later, and I want to share it with you".
"I don't know what's gonna happen with this song", he said.
Mike Shinoda was able to complete his part of the song, but he needed a little help.so the crowd filled in with Chester's bit.
Kim said North Korea will not target any country that does not join a US-led military campaign. Clinton also indirectly referred to Mr.
The entire night was a surreal experience, one the band streamed for free worldwide on their official YouTube channel.
"Have I been lost all along/ Was there something I could say/ Or something I should have done".
Throughout the show, Linkin Park played old videos of Bennington, showing his sense of humor and passion for music.
"He was incredibly proud of the work done for Music For Relief". And saving lives is exactly what we plan to do in Chester's memory.
Since his death, Chester's wife Talinda Bennington has been campaigning for mental health awareness. "It is my mission to make it easier for people to have access to mental health resources". More information as to what the initiative will do, Bennington said, will be coming "soon".
Blink-182, Avenged Sevenfold, Takahiro "Taka" Moriuchi of ONE OK ROCK, and Deryck Whibley were some of those who performed.
That sound you just heard was hundreds of JS commenters deleting their latest Aaron Rodgers tirades. "Sometimes you exaggerate. Despite the league's non-punishment, Rodgers and Packers coach Mike McCarthy have chided Barr after the fact.

Q: Kafka Streams: How to enrich multiple fields in nested objects with one-to-many relations I have the situation where I need to enrich multiple (15) fields with additional data.
The data is looks like this
class Company
    String abbreviation "abc"
    String fullName "<to be enriched by looking up via abbreviation>"
    List<Emloyee> employees;
    List<Department> departments;

class Employee
    String surname;
    String lastname;
    int someKey
    String someKeyEnriched "<to be enriched by looking up via someKey>"
    int secondKey
    String secondKeyEnriched "<to be enriched by looking up via secondKey>"

class Department
    int anotherKey
    String anotherKeyEnriched "<to be enriched by looking up via someKey>"

We implemented a service with Kafka streams. It reads the entries from the company topic and enriches data from additional topics.
The additional enrichment topics have entries with avro messages as value, like code="String", name="String" and additional fields. Eg: "abc", "The full name of company abc".
There are 15 enrichment topics and they get updated by another process every few months. The data is small enough to be hold in memory (> 1 mio).
We found a similar question regarding whether holding these enrichment key values in a plain map, or joining them with the stream - and went for the cheap solution by using the map.
Code was quite easy and data enrichment looked something like:
Topology.java ...

    final var stream = streamsBuilder.stream("NotYetEnrichedCompany", Consumed.with(Serdes.String(), new CompanySerde()));
    Produced<String, Company> companyStream = KafkaStreamsConfig.createCompanyProduced();
    stream
      .mapValues(companyEnricher::enrich)
      .to("EnrichedCompany", companyStream);

public class CompanyEnricher implements KeyValueEnricher<Company> {

  @Autowired
  private EnrichmentService enrichmentService;

  @Override
  public Company enrich(final Company company) {
    enrichAbbreviation(company);
    enrichEmployees(company);
    enrichDepartments(company);
    return company;
  }

  private void enrichEmployees(final Company company) {
    for (final var employee : company.getEmployees()) {
      enrichSomeKey(employee);
      enrichSecondKey(employee);
    }
  }

  private void enrichSomeKey(final Employee employee) {
    final var key = employee.getSomeKey();
    enrichmentService.get("SomeKeyTopic", code).ifPresent(employee::setSomeKeyEnriched);
  }

...

}

We were happy - until we realized, that the data enrichment did not work for the earliest company entries.
This happened when the processing of company entries started, before the reading of enrichment data was done.
This was also mentioned in the stack overflow question above.
Then we wanted to rewrite it, using the kafka streams join method, to ensure that we use always the most actual data when enriching data.
Code gets complicated:
Topology.java ...

companyAbbreviationTable = streamsBuilder.globalTable("company.abbreviation", consumed);
employeeAbbreviationTable = streamsBuilder.globalTable("employee.abbreviation", consumed);
...

    final var stream = streamsBuilder.stream("NotYetEnrichedCompany", Consumed.with(Serdes.String(), new CompanySerde()));
    Produced<String, Company> companyStream = KafkaStreamsConfig.createCompanyProduced();
    stream
      .leftJoin(companyAbbreviationTable,
        (companyId, company) -> company.getAbbreviation(),
        (company, fullName) -> {
          if (fullName != null) {
            company.setMachineTypeMds(name.get("name").toString());
          }
          return company;
        })
      .flatMapValues(Company::getEmployees)
      .leftJoin(employeeAbbreviationTable,
        (employeeId, employee) -> employee.getSomeKey(),
        (employee, fullName) -> {
          if (fullName != null) {
            employee.setSomeKeyEnriched(name.get("name").toString());
          }
          return employee;
        })
    // Question 1: How can I get the surrounding company object again to persist it in the "EnrichedCompany" stream?
      .to("EnrichedCompany", companyStream);

If I have to replace 15 values with join, the code gets quite big and its testablilty is quite hard.
Question 1: How can I get the initial company instance back, after iterating over employees:
.flatMapValues(Company::getEmployees) to stream the enriched company instance .to("EnrichedCompany", companyStream);
Question 2:
I also found kafkas interactive queries
Is it correct that with interactive queries I could reference 15 ReadOnlyKeyValueStore in my CompanyEnricher class and use the initial solution again?
    stream
      .mapValues(companyEnricher::enrich)
      .to("EnrichedCompany", companyStream);

And will interactive queries solve my initial problem, so that the enrichment of the companys is done with the most actual data?
Question 3:
Is there a better pattern for data enrichment in my situation?

British violinist Anthony Marwood emerged as a solo star in the 2000s and 2010s after a long period of what might be called balanced preparation. He has played chamber music, championed contemporary music as a soloist, performed in a noted early music ensemble, and participated in experimental genre-crossing collaborations.
Marwood's date and place of birth have been erroneously reported as 1979 in Helsinki, Finland, a date that would have made him just 16 when he joined the prestigious Florestan Trio in 1995. A native of London, he attended the King Edward VI Grammar School in Chelmsford, England. He took up the violin at seven. "It was all my siblings' fault. I'm the youngest of four, and they were all playing things," he told the Independent. "Music was going on all round the house, and I just got drawn into the cacophony." Marwood went on to the Royal Academy of Music, where a key teacher was Emanuel Hurwitz: after proudly playing Paganini's La Campanella for the teacher, Marwood heard him reply, "Did you know it was half speed?" Marwood went on to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and he later took lessons from Sandor Végh.
After joining the Florestan Trio as violinist, Marwood remained with the group for 16 years. This group played mainstream chamber repertory, but Marwood also cultivated his abilities in different kinds of performances. He toured and recorded with his brother and two sisters as the Marwood Ensemble, a chamber group performing more unusual repertory for strings and winds. Later he joined the Quebec City historical-performance group Les Violons du Roy, becoming its Principal Artistic Partner. Marwood has also joined projects that have extended far beyond classical music's usual spheres. He has collaborated with Indian dancer Mayuri Boonham, and, perhaps most unusually, devised a touring production of Stravinsky's L'histoire du soldat in which he spoke, performed as a mime, and appeared in various costumes: military uniform, business suit, and no clothing at all.
Amidst all these enterprises, Marwood made highly regarded solo appearances. He played the Prokofiev Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 63, at a Proms concert and recorded a new Thomas Adès concerto for EMI with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe in 2007. In 1998 Marwood made his first solo recording for Hyperion, a recital of violin-and-piano music by Dvorák, and he has since become a fixture of that label's roster, often recording music of the 20th and 21st centuries. He has recorded the violin concertos of Britten (in 2012) and of Walton (in 2017), both with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. ~ James Manheim~ Rovi

My routines disappear completely during the school holidays. The return to school and work means that my teeth return to getting flossed regularly, I drink more water, and my sewing time condenses to an hour each afternoon during the week. We are all still getting used to the return of routine!
Yesterday was one of those parenting days better forgotten. After screaming, swearing and the slamming of doors (that was just me), and retreating to my sewing cave, I discovered that my larger sewing machine had lost its tension. New needle, new thread, new bobbin, a bit of a clean, a bit better of a clean, another rethread... still no joy. So much for those plans to start some blanket stitch on those My Tweet blocks.
Instead I pulled out another WIP project, and did a bit of figuring. As I was still a bit wild around the edges, a calculator, pen and paper seemed the way to go.
Recap, I had five dresden fan blocks and seventeen Modern Cross blocks. The layout worked best if I made another three MC blocks - which gave me space to fit in the frame and sashing around the dresdens. First up I sewed the last grey centre down on the dresden fans (again, that hand sewing gets put aside every time).
The Inspiration... Nordic Star from the Fat Quarterly Shape Book for Quilters. This quilt is organised as rows of blocks with a variety of piecing, sashing and negative space. You will have noticed that my blocks are different... of course, they started as completely different projects and are different sizes to the original. I'm sure I'm not the only person who starts projects in this way?? I call it the Evolution Method of Design :0) I have great faith.
By close of day today, there was some progress, the frame and sashing for the dresden fan row almost complete... well, four done.
I'm working with Essex Linen in Flax as the background fabric. I wouldn't want to do complicated piecing with it... but so far so good.
I've sort of been putting this one off - you know how you do - resisting sewing those extra blocks, and then imagining the quilt maths much worse than it really was. A bit of a picture... some simple addition and subtraction, (some deep breathing) and I was away. Funny how that works out isn't it?
I also did a bit more work on my Tillies Lane blocks, these are so cute finishing at 3"
This is what I've finished so far. The background dot is just there for effect... as I haven't decided how to approach that area yet. The coloured bits are 100% random scraps... with the inner triangles all the same cream solid.
Reading through the BOM instructions, I should be doing 24 blocks per month. So far I've done 11 over the last three or so months. Whoops. This is where the being organised bit would be good. If I have any chance of getting this finished this century... I should try and do six blocks per week. We'll see how that works.
Sewing down binding is exciting- it means a FINISH! I love that Nordic Star quilt- and Dresdens are on my list, so I think it might be time to re-visit this one! Thanks for the reminder.

The Brothers Mann
By Cecil C. H. Cullander
ISSUE: Spring 1999
Letters of Heinrich And Thomas Mann, 1900—1949. Edited and with an Introduction by Hans Wysling. Foreword by Anthony Heilbut. Translated by Don Reneau. With additional translations by Richard and Clara Winston. University of California. $50.00.
"The Germans should be lucky to have such two boys." (Goethe, in response to those who put him up against Schiller.)
These letters, now in English translation, provide a treasure trove to the Thomas Mann scholar as well as the general reader interested in the development of Germany's greatest authors of the 19th-20th century. The translation which surpasses anything H.T. Lowe-Porter might have done is at times mistaken and confusing but overall adequate. These letters from 1900 to 1949 (the year of Heinrich's death) carry the reader through a period of profound change in Germany, Europe, and the world; from 29 years after the tumultuous time of the unification of Germany to, through and beyond the Great War, the failed Weimar Republic, the development and destruction of the Nazi Reich, and World War II followed by the attempts at reconstruction. One hundred eighty four of the 272 letters in this most extensive collection to date are by Thomas Mann, 85 by Heinrich Mann and three by Katia Mann. The capturing of these letters reads like a treasure hunt; a hunt which has extended over the years since the respective deaths of the brothers. As recently as 1973, 1974, and 1985 discoveries were made in private collections or unexpectedly turning up in posthumous papers such as those of Lion Feuchtwanger. In addition there are significant documents which are referred to in the letters—Heinrich's review of Thomas', Der Tod in Venedig, Thomas' review of Heinrich's, Die Grosze Sach, and birthday speeches by Thomas and Heinrich honoring each other. These documents contribute to the flavor of the brothers' relationship. Likewise there are extensive notes which clarify and enrich the understanding of comments and references made in the letters. Finally there is an index and a bibliography which is larger and more current than that in the German edition. The introduction by Hans Wysling the former director of the Thomas Mann Archive in Zurich, written six years before the opening of Mann's diaries in 1975, provides the best and most complete account of the brothers' relationship beyond any of the current biographies. Their intimate connection as expressed in their almost parallel writings is amply demonstrated. "Thomas Mann's works in particular teem from early on with open and secret borrowings, with memories, allusions, and veiled revelations. Cockaigne (H. Mann's. Berlin: The Land of Cockaigne;) a novel of "the fashionable set" for example stimulated him in a hundred different ways." Wysling presents connections such as Heinrich's character Mrs. Türkeiner "resurrected" as MMe Houpflé in Thomas' Felix Krull. Likewise. Heinrich's "fortune's child" Andreas Zumsee finds a successor in the character Felix Krull. Both brothers used history, biography, characters, and scenes from the novels of others to create a sort of "collage" in their works. Heinrich borrowed from Thomas' satirical school chapter in Buddenbrooks to construct Professor Unrat (later the movie The Blue Angel, with Marlene Dietrich). However not all was beer and skittles between the brothers. The early seeds of the Bruderzwist (the split between them in 1916 which lasted for six years) were sown in childhood and fertilized in a 1906 review by Thomas with his remarks on, ". . .the bellows-poetry that has been arriving here for some years from the beautiful land of Italy," a clear reference to Heinrich's novel, Die Göttinnen. Through the exchange of letters it is possible to trace the development of this split as well as their intimacy; also, Heinrich's move toward the French and democracy and Thomas' strong conservative nationalism. With the deep similarities between them there were also deep differences; Heinrich was the ". . .jester, libertine and bohemian," whereas Thomas, ". . .always adopted the position of the moralist and bourgeois". Perhaps this was a cover for his homosexuality combined with his identity as a prince in disguise which he had adopted at age 14. Overall Thomas considered Heinrich his big brother, indeed, his father surrogate, who supported him emotionally and respected his outstanding creativity. Thomas Mann's basic bourgeois anti-Semitism with which he struggled life-long is expressed in his letter to Heinrich after his introduction to the Pringsheim salon and a visit from the twin brother of his future wife Katia. "I had already met him fleetingly at the ball: an extremely pleasing young man, soigné, educated, charming, with North German features (that is not "Jewish," but those of Thomas' Baltic Coast origins). One has no thought of Jewishness in regard to these people; one senses only culture." (Feb. 27, 1904).
Over the course of their lives Heinrich and Thomas moved away from gross anti-Semitism, yet throughout his writings, including his last novel, Dr. Faustus, Thomas depicts his Jewish characters as rather unsavory creatures. His solution of "The Jewish problem" was, as accomplished by the Pringsheim family—assimilation. This would mean the destruction of Judaism and a conversion to German Protestantism. Not a far cry from the Crusades! In his cogent and well-documented development of the divergence of political outlook between Heinrich and Thomas, Wysling does not consider the influence of Professor Ernst Bertram in the shaping of Thomas' political view. It is remarkable that there is but one letter to Heinrich in which Ernst Bertram is mentioned. Ernst Bertram was a brilliant young Germanist who wrote a favorable review of Thomas', Königliche Hoheit at a time when reviewers in general were disappointed by this second novel of the author of Buddenbrooks— more had been expected of him. Thomas Mann's response to Bertram's review in 1910 began a friendship which continued until his death in 1955. This was a friendship which was the closest Thomas ever had, even beyond the relationship with Heinrich. In the Register of Thomas Mann's Letters the greatest number are to Ernst Bertram, but that is another story. Anthony Heilbut's Foreword provides additional biographical details of Thomas' life and pulls together aspects of Heinrich's life thereby presenting a mini-biography of the neglected brother.

Baltimore, Md., Nov 14, 2016 / 11:30 am ().- Concrete outreach to those in need should be the focus of the U.S. bishops going forward, as well as "respectful dialogue" with the Trump administration, the bishops' conference president said Monday.
"United with Pope Francis, we are confident and we are hopeful, as we hear once again the echo of the words of Jesus: what you did for one of my least, you did for me," Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville told the U.S. bishops.
Archbishop Kurtz is the outgoing president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, finishing a three-year term. He spoke at their general assembly in Baltimore, Maryland Nov. 14. The bishops are entering their 100th year of holding plenary gatherings.
The main focus of Archbishop Kurtz's remarks was not the political elections, but the tasks facing the U.S. bishops today.
"Jesus spoke and acted in very concrete ways. Empowered by His grace, so do we," he told the bishops.
Bishops should work to build trust in their neighborhoods, he continued. He predicted they would find "signs of hope from unexpected places" in the future leaders born today and could draw hope from their encounters with others.
Archbishop Kurtz recounted his encounter with a refugee family in Ukraine, where he met a young eight-year-old refugee with Down Syndrome.
For the archbishop, that boy was "a trusting child of God deserving a chance," much like many American young people.
In February, Archbishop Kurtz met with two dozen unaccompanied minors in El Paso before Pope Francis said Mass on the other side of the border.
He asked them their dreams, and they said they wanted only to work, to study and to join their family.
"Quickly I asked: 'not also to pray?' and without a pause they said 'Yes, to pray to God to help'," he recounted.
The archbishop listed several challenges facing the bishops: threats to the global community, especially religious persecution, and challenges within the United States, related to the dignity of the human person.
"Just as a family seeks to serve each other as a prerequisite for authentic service beyond, so we do too. If not, our pastoral hearts will be shallow and short lived with others," he said.
"This is not a pie-in-the-sky hope but a hope grounded in the reality of God's grace in the midst of challenges," he said.

The College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia has announced the formation of a one-year, non-thesis professional master's program designed for students who are interested in pursuing careers in biomedical professions and wish to strengthen their knowledge in biomedical physiology before entering a professional degree program.
Part of the Comparative Biomedical Science graduate program, this is a structured, cohort-based, non-thesis degree that results in a Master of Science in comparative biomedical science with an emphasis in integrative biomedical physiology.
The program's goal is to provide foundational knowledge and professional skills that will prepare students for careers in a broad range of biomedical professions such as veterinary medicine, human medicine, biomedical engineering, and biomedical or diagnostic technology. The first cohort will begin in the fall of 2019.


I have been a die-hard Harry Potter fan for as long as I can remember. I was 13 when the first movie opened in theaters (just 2 years older than Daniel Radcliff when he starred in the first film). My closest friend dragged me to go see it. She had been glued to the books for years.
I was so embarrassed and thought the whole Harry Potter phenomenon was incredibly uncool.
I will never forget how enchanting the movie was for me as a stubborn pre-teen. I had built myself up for disappointment but couldn't help but fall under the magical spell of the movie. I was transported into Hogwarts, a school for witchcraft and wizardry, and forever into the life of a young boy named Harry Potter.
Since that day, I've been a HUGE fan.
13 years later, I've read all 7 books (a few times) and watched all 8 movies (countless times). I even went to see the final movie at midnight the night it premiered when I was living in Australia. Bolt scar painted on my forehead and everything. No shame.
People often ask me why I have such an "obsession" with Harry Potter. And why so many others do as well. My best explanation is this: Harry Potter has been the longest and most consistent passion in my life. I basically grew up right alongside the lead actors of the film.
Since I was 13 years old, I counted down book and movie releases and fell in love with the stories over and over again.
Now, back to London. I was beside myself when I was given an opportunity to return to London this summer and visit the Warner Bros. Studio Tour. Their "The Making of Harry Potter" tour features props, costumes and complete movie sets from the filming of the Harry Potter movies.
It was like stepping into a dream. Everywhere I turned, the wizarding world of Harry Potter surrounded me. I nearly cried. (I'm not kidding). Everything from the "Cupboard Under the Stairs" to the "Triwizard Cup" and even the "Great Hall" at Hogwarts was there.
For 2 hours, I revisited the childhood fantasies I had of this special place. I knocked on the door of 4 Privet Drive and gazed at my reflection in the Mirror of Erised. I even got to drink a sweet glass of butterbeer! I'm quite proud of my self-control for not hiding and attempting to camp out inside.
Without further ado, here's a look inside the studios!
Normally, they only give these to children. I begged.
One of the most obvious observations in the Great Hall was that it was missing the "enchanted ceiling." Regardless, it felt very much like the real thing!
Daniel Radcliffe's first robes as Harry Potter at age 11!
Dumbledor's office was just like the real thing!
How insane is the detail?! Amazing!
The set of Professor Umbridge's office. They filmed 40 kittens to make the plates!
Professor Umbridge's dress- again, the detail is amazing!
The Death Eaters costumes were terrifying!
All of the paper props from the movies were hand written!
Makeup station in the creatures department of the studios!
The full Diagon Alley movie set! My favorite part of the tour!
So excited to try an ice cold Butterbeer!
Tastes like cream soda with butterscotch whipped topping!
I cannot stress this enough! You need to purchase you tickets online in advance as you need to book a specific time and available date. They only allow a certain number of visitors during each time slot, so not all dates and times are available. I actually watched a family get turned away because they didn't have tickets. Don't let that happen to you!
It was super easy for me to use the London overground rail to get to Watford where I took a Warner Bros. shuttle to the studios. It took about an hour but cost less than £5 (each way) on the rail and £2 (return) for the Warner Bros. shuttle.
That being said, you can still bring a picnic lunch to enjoy in the backlot of the studios (about halfway through the tour). Here, you can also purchase a delicious butterbeer (about £3) and, for adults, there is also beer and wine available.
Before and after the tour, there is a cafe and Starbucks inside the main entrance where you can also purchase food and drinks.
If you're really dying for this year's Christmas card to be on the back of a broomstick, prepare to pay a pretty penny and wait in line. My recommendation is to head straight for the green screen area once you leave the Great Hall. You will pass through a huge area with all the movie sets and props, but you'll beat everyone to the line. Once you're finished, go back and start from the beginning.
It goes without saying that you can fairly easily break the bank inside the gift shop. With little ones, it might be best to set a budget beforehand. Good news is you can take photos throughout the studios so, at the very least, you'll come home with lots of memories!
Are you a Harry Potter fan too?!
Shop My Harry Potter Favorites!
Probably a half of a day!
I was really impressed when I watched the Harry Potter for the first time. I am currently watching Merlin at Netflix. That's very impressive too. The epic world that was created in Harry Potter was awesome. It must be a nice experience to browse its studios.


What do you get when you cross a genocidal robot, a dead Human Torch, and Wonder Man's brain waves? Why, the synthezoid known as The Vision of course! Originally constructed by Ultron to aid him in defeating the Avengers, this plan backfires and Vision then becomes an Avenger himself. Never hurts to have an android on your team, right? It also doesn't hurt to check out some of our sweet Vision gear!

How to adjust the basic parameters of my hosting in a Cloud.
The steps to follow to adjust the basic parameters of a Hosting service that belongs to a Cloud are as follows:
1- Type in the SWPanel search engine the name of the service in which you want to modify the basic parameters and click on it.
2- In the Dashboard of the hosting service, click on the icon Settings of the basic parameters of the service, between the icons of specific functions and Hosting configuration.
3- Next you will be able to modify PHP settings exclusive to this service, Nginx Web Server settings and other advanced settings corresponding to the version of the PHP programming engine for your web.
3.1- In the basic PHP settings you will find the following configurations:
disable_functions --> List of PHP functions disabled for security.
error_reporting --> The level of error reporting.
open_basedir --> Allows to indicate paths to which the user of the hosting service does not have access so that he can access and use its content.
pm --> Sets how the PHP process manager will control the number of threads. Possible values: "static", "ondemand", "dynamic".
pm.max_children --> Sets the limit of simultaneous requests that PHP can serve for this service.
pm.max_spare_servers --> Maximum number of processes in idle state. Only used when "pm" is set to "dynamic".
pm.min_spare_servers --> Minimum number of processes in idle state. Only used when "pm" is set to "dynamic".
pm.process_idle_timeout --> Number of seconds after which a process in idle state will be terminated. Only used when "pm" is set to "ondemand". Available units: s(econds)(default), m(inutes), h(ours), or d(ays).
pm.start_servers --> Number of threads created at startup. Only used when "pm" is set to "dynamic".
Once you have defined the values you want, you must click on "Save settings", located at the bottom of the page.
3.2- To switch to the Nginx settings, you must click on the tab. Among its settings are the following configurations:
expires ---> Indicates the amount of time the static data (jpg/cms/doc/pdf,...) of your website will be kept in the browser cache.
limit_req ---> Sets the shared memory zone ("zone" parameter) and the maximum size of requests ("burst" parameter) coming to the Hosting service.
limit_req_zone ---> Parameters for a shared memory zone are defined. The zone stores the number of excessive requests. The variable "rate" sets the number of requests that Nginx can host per second. By default, this is set to 150 requests per second.
proxy_cache_path ---> Indicates where the cache file is located and other parameters about the cache. The "max_size" value defines the maximum cache size in bytes.
Once you have defined the values you want, you must click on "Save settings" to confirm the changes.
3.3- In the basic settings of your Hosting service you can modify settings on the configuration of the PHP programming engine used by the web. To change these parameters, you must click on "Advanced Settings" and "Edit".
Next you will have access to different PHP variables and values that can influence the behavior of your website.
It is worth noting that in this file is the value of pm.max_children, which indicates the maximum number of simultaneous requests that will be served by PHP for each of the connections of different users connected to your website. By default, this parameter is assigned the number 10, which indicates that each connection of the same user to your website can create a maximum of 10 simultaneous requests to deliver content through the PHP engine of that website.
Once you have configured the value you want to modify among the different advanced settings, you must check the validation box to overwrite the existing configuration file and finally save the changes.
It is important to note that there is a modification history, where all the configurations that have been saved from the PHP configuration engine are stored.
To access it, you must be located in the advanced settings of the basic parameters of the Hosting service and click on Show Modification History, on the right of the PHP file.
You will see that all the different configurations that have been modified on the file are displayed. If you click on the three dots [...] to the right of one of the settings, you will see the following options:
In the first option, "View configuration file", you will be able to review the PHP file without being able to modify it.
In the second option, "Restore this configuration", you will be able to restore the configuration you are selecting.
To restore it, just type the random word that is requested to confirm the restoration of the configuration file and finally click "Yes, restore now".
In the third and last option, "Comments on configuration", you will be able to add comments on each of the configurations you have. These comments can be very useful if used as reminders, since they will not affect the PHP file.

Nebraska Football: Scott Frost's Staff Revamp Off to Good Start With Mark Whipple, Other Hires
Former Pitt offensive coordinator Mark Whipple is the new play-caller at Nebraska
It's no secret Nebraska coach Scott Frost faces a critical make-or-break 2022 season, and the pressure is on the former Cornhusker quarterback to get the program back on track. Since taking over in 2018, Nebraska is 15-29 overall and has not won more than five games in a single season. The overall mark and 2021 record (3-9) aren't meeting expectations in Lincoln, which forced Frost into a tough offseason assignment: Navigate a successful staff revamp amidst one of the hottest seats in college football.
Related: Is Bringing Scott Frost Back for 2022 the Right Decision?
On Wednesday, the program made two major assistant hires, announcing Mark Whipple would join as offensive coordinator, and Donovan Raiola will tutor the line next year. Whipple and Raiola join Mickey Joseph as three new members of Frost's staff for 2022. One additional assistant spot remains open for next season.
Joseph — a former Nebraska quarterback and a coach regarded for his work on the recruiting trail in Louisiana — is a solid addition to boost the receiving corps. Raiola is arguably the coach under the most pressure right away, as the Cornhuskers struggled mightily in the trenches last year. According to Pro Football Focus, Nebraska allowed a whopping 172 quarterback pressures in 2021. Also, the offense managed only 4.4 yards per carry in Big Ten games. Raiola has limited experience at FBS programs, working from 2015-16 as a graduate assistant at Notre Dame and '14 as an intern at Hawaii. But the former Wisconsin Badger has worked for the last four seasons with the Bears and brings valuable NFL experience to the staff.
Both Joseph and Raiola have their work cut out for them in 2022, but Whipple's arrival is the most important. The 64-year-old coordinator arrives after an extremely successful stint at Pitt. As indicated by the numbers below, Whipple's offense got better each year in the Steel City:
Mark Whipple's Offenses at Pitt
Yards Per Play
Plays of 40+
SP+ Rating
Nebraska's Offense from 2019-21
2020 (8 games)
Prior to Pitt, Whipple has spent time as a head coach at UMass (1998-03 and 2014-18), called the plays at Miami (2009-10), and worked in the NFL with the Steelers (2004-06), Eagles (2008), and Browns (2011-12). Whipple's experience overall as a coach, along with his background in developing quarterbacks, should be a huge asset to Nebraska. The Cornhuskers lost quarterback Adrian Martinez to transfer, but Logan Smothers showed promise in a start against Iowa and more help could come via the transfer portal. After helping Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett become a Heisman finalist this year, Whipple's presence should be a strong selling point to quarterbacks interested in Lincoln.
In addition to Whipple's play-calling and work with quarterbacks, how the veteran coach meshes his offense and scheme with Joseph, Raiola, and Frost (along with the playbook Nebraska used in 2020) will be something to watch this offseason. Nebraska leaned more on the run (490 rushing attempts to 342 passes), compared to Pitt (521 passes to 493 rushes) in 2021. Shifting to a pass-heavy offense seems unlikely, but Whipple should help bolster a passing game that could use some fresh ideas.
It's entirely possible these hires won't change the overall trajectory of the program or Frost's long-term status in Lincoln. But for a coach on the hot seat, the additions of Whipple, Raiola, and Joseph are solid hires and a step in the right direction.
Frost, plus the three new assistants won't have the luxury of a rebuilding year in 2022. They need to win right away, and Frost's game plan of improving next fall is underscored by passing on younger coordinators for Whipple.
After Wednesday's announcement, two questions remain in Lincoln: Will Frost hire a special teams coach? And will a quarterback join the roster via the transfer portal?
The 2022 season is all about winning now for Frost. If he doesn't, there won't be a '23 campaign in Lincoln. Bringing in Joseph, Raiola or Whipple may not register as the best hires of the offseason, but for a coach squarely on the hot seat, all three seem like the right fits. Of course, the big question now is — will that actually translate into wins?

Q: Add onClick function to ListItem with jQuery I'm dynamically building a UniformList, with dynamic ListItems, using jQuery. All the elements are being built and displayed properly (using absolute positioning in CSS) on the page.
Edit: The following code is not from my OP. It has been edited to incorporate suggestions provided in the comments below.
<!DOCTYPE html>

        <title></title>

A: Try this
$(document).on('click','ul.fieldList li',function(e) {
    var $target = $(e.target);
    if($target.is('li')) {
        alert('test');
    }
});

You list item are dynamically generated.

A: I think the way you are appending the
 and
 elements means that you end up with an empty
 and then
 items are appended straight to the #myDisplay below. In order for your $('ul.fieldList li') search to turn up any elements you need the
 to be within the
 parent element.
i.e. you end up with

When I assume what you want is

So maybe something like this for the list creation:
var list = $('
');
var firstItem = $('
').text("foo").addClass("bar");
list.append(firstItem);
// append more items...
$('#myDisplay').append(list);

A: Your selector in the third line is wrong. Change
$('#myDisplay').append('

');

to
$('#fieldList').append('

');

First published in 1990, Archaeological Prospecting and Remote Sensing surveys some of the highly ingenious non-destructive methods for detecting and mapping remains of ancient cultures that have vanished from the modern surface. Techniques include low-level air photography, magnetic, thermal, electric, and electromagnetic geophysical prospecting. A mathematical analysis of the phenomena and measurements is given together with the techniques for interpretation of results using computerized image processing. Archaeological prospecting used with image processing has emerged as a universal tool. The aim is to build a visual geographic system available for use by conservationists, historians and scientists alike. The team of authors comprises an archaeologist, two geophysicists and an applied mathematician who have collaborated to produce a book of immense value in this innovative field of study.

Oxidative stress (OS) plays a major role in chronic hepatitis C. Various OS markers have been found to be elevated in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver disease. This study detected the presence of OS in serum and liver biopsy specimens of HCV patients. Reactive oxygen molecules (ROM) in sera of 54 HCV patients were compared with 23 controls. OS markers 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, malondialdehyde, and thioredoxin were measured in liver biopsy specimens of 18 HCV patients with fibrosis staging F1 (six); F2 (two), F3 (four), and F4 (six). The interferon (IFN) response and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurrence in the presence of OS markers were also evaluated. The level of ROM in HCV patients was 318 ± 56.7 Carr compared with 248 ± 40.8 Carr in controls (p = 0.032). Multivariate analysis found age (p = 0.0236) to be the only independent variable associated with increase in ROM in sera. In liver biopsy specimens, OS markers were found mainly around the area of piecemeal necrosis or the periportal area. The presence of OS markers seemed to increase with fibrosis staging, although not significantly. The OS DNA damage marker 8-OHdG was detected in the nucleus of hepatocytes. Thirteen patients received IFN therapy. During the 4-year follow-up period, HCC developed in four nonresponders to IFN and in one untreated patient. OS markers were stained in both HCC cells and non-HCC cells in HCC patients. OS markers were found in serum and liver specimens of HCV-associated liver disease and in HCC tissue. Detection of OS markers may be important for monitoring disease progression in HCV patients. Antioxidant therapy in combination with antiviral therapy may minimize liver damage and aid in the prevention and subsequent development of HCC.

DALLAS (AP) - The ringleader of the biggest prison escape in Texas history was sentenced to death Wednesday for killing a police officer while on the run. George Rivas had pleaded with jurors to give him the death penalty so wouldn't have to live ``like an animal in prison.'' Rivas, 31, was the first of the seven escapees to be tried in the Dec. 24 shooting death of Irving police Officer Aubrey Hawkins. Defense attorneys have been trying to get Rivas a life sentence, saying he never intended to murder Hawkins. But as the penalty phase wrapped up Wednesday, Rivas in a surprise twist asked jurors to give him a death sentence. ``What you call the death penalty, I call freedom,'' he said. ``I can finally be free. I'm telling you right now I don't want another life sentence.'' Speaking haltingly and emotionally, Rivas said: ``I don't want to just exist anymore like an animal in prison.'' A day earlier, Rivas testified that he never intended to kill Hawkins and took pains to limit bloodshed in the prison escape. His death wish was cited by both sides during closing arguments. ``Ladies and gentlemen, grant him his wish and justice will be done in this courtroom today,'' prosecutor Bill Hill said. Defense lawyer Wayne Huff said a life sentence would be worse than death for Rivas, who would be locked 23 hours a day in an isolation cell. In arguing for the death penalty, prosecutors tried to demonstrate that Rivas was a lifelong felon who showed no mercy when he repeatedly shot Hawkins and ran over him with a vehicle. Rivas himself confessed to the crime. Evidently deciding they had nothing to lose, Rivas' attorneys let him take the stand. He spoke gravely when he took full responsibility for Hawkins' murder. He also said he planned the getaway because ``I wasn't going to die an old man in prison.'' Jurors found Rivas guilty of capital murder Aug. 21. They had two punishment choices: lethal injection or life imprisonment with the possibility of parole in 40 years.

NC research lab tech talks engineering, art and adrenaline
Creativity is often thought of as the cornerstone of engineering.
For artist and mechanical engineering technologist Brock Husak, he is proving engineers are indeed fundamentally creators – both requiring imagination and smarts to develop novel solutions to problems.
During the course of many research projects, this research laboratory technologist at the Walker Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre (WAMIC) generates conceptual freehand designs before moving onto a digital CAD drawing format.
"It can be a blessing, but I also have to catch myself trying to get creative with something that does not need to be overly complicated," he says with a laugh.
In addition to his busy full-time position at Niagara College, Husak burns the midnight oil designing and painting helmets for athletes, from professional motocross racers to Olympic cyclists, using his drawing and airbrush talents.
"This is a way for me to satisfy my burning desire to be creative and make art while also generating some extra money from it."
Graduating from NC's Mechanical Engineering Technology program in April 2019, Husak has been with the Research & Innovation division since January 2017, first during his co-op as a research assistant and then as a research associate until this past September, when he assumed his new interim role of research laboratory technologist.
Husak has amassed a wealth of experience in all areas at the research labs at WAMIC, including reverse engineering in conjunction with 3D CAD modelling/printing and rapid prototyping, metrology and machine design, to name just a few.
All this has laid a solid foundation for his current position, where he is responsible for coordinating the technical services and applied research activities and managing the various advanced manufacturing technologies and equipment in the research labs. He also provides mentorship training to the co-op students and graduate research associates.
Husak says he most appreciates the diversity of projects and tasks he's afforded. "Every day really is a new day here. You're always doing something new, which is so important to me."
"When I'm grooving, and in the zone, it's a feeling like no other – a sense of satisfaction and happiness all at once."
Likewise, on his list of advantages, he would tell prospective co-op students interested in working at WAMIC, is having the opportunity to learn new skills.
"Sometimes, you'll be tasked with something you've had no experience with, and you'll slowly understand and work through the challenges," he explains. "This makes for a smarter you and allows you to build your resume for future endeavours."
He recalls a successful project he worked on during his senior co-op term for medical technology industry partner Studio 1 Labs. The company invented an intelligent medical bed sheet with fabric sensing and non-invasive technology that wirelessly monitors vital signs for hospital patients and can predict the onset of health decline and emergencies.
R&I's digital media team helped with the interface software, and Husak developed an electrical component enclosure designed for injection molding – a creative undertaking.
"The project literally went perfect," he recalls. "I learned some valuable lessons along the way. The client was very happy; our team at WAMIC was happy. So it was a huge success."
More recently, the Niagara Falls native also played a large role in producing many thousands of face shields at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic when PPE was scarce. During the closure of both NC campuses, Husak was one of only a few graduate students in the WAMIC lab assembling the PPE for local health-care workers.
A total of 17,300 face shields were donated to the local Niagara Health System and another 20,000 units going to other essential workers and community members throughout the province.
"It felt rewarding knowing I was helping the community and the brave front-line workers."
During these challenging times Husak has used his love of art to provide his own sense of inspiration.
Husak draws, paints and does the occasional mural, but most of his time is dedicated to helmet work for his business, Twisted Design. He has had his own art exhibition and even won 'creator of the year' at the 2018 Niagara Social Awards, which recognizes the Niagara region's writers, entrepreneurs and creators.
While he "lives for creativity," Husak says his need for adrenaline is just as important.
He feeds this passion with motocross, where he races throughout Canada and the United States. It's a sport he took up as a youngster and has acquired the trophies and more than a few broken bones along the way.
He also satisfies his craving for adrenaline – and exercise – through rock climbing, a discipline that he devotes time to, as many as three times a week.
Research & Innovation, Walker Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre, Where Are They Now?
Grad hired thanks to 3D design experience with R&I
Anusha Qureshi is a 2020 graduate of Niagara College's Mechanical Engineering Technology program and was a mechanical research assistant for Research & Innovation's Walker Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre (WAMIC) for eight months in 2018. Anusha is employed as a technical specialist for Tetra Tech Inc., working as contractor with Ontario Power Generation.
Tell us about where you work:
I was hired by Tetra Tech Inc., an international consulting and engineering firm, as a technical specialist. Tetra Tech provides engineering solutions to clients working on water, environment, infrastructure, resource management, energy, and international development.
Through Tetra Tech, I have been working since August 2020 as a full-time contractor-draftsperson at Ontario Power Generation (OPG) in Bowmanville, Ont. OPG is one of the world's largest power production companies in North America, and works with hydro, nuclear, biomass, gas and solar as generating sources.
Describe your role and what you like about it:
My job is to draft and modify mechanical/civil engineering drawings using 2D design software. I draft fabrication and construction drawings for Darlington Nuclear plant refurbishment, maintenance and training purposes. The refurbishment drafting includes drawings for concrete, steelwork, fire plan drawings and roadways.
I really enjoy working for a company that is providing for the country every day in the form of electricity and environmental safety. It is a great feeling. When I was in college, I recognized I was a good CAD designer, and I also seemed to enjoy doing it throughout my program. It makes me grateful to think that I have landed a job for something I enjoy doing. I am so grateful for the amazing professors at Niagara College who taught us the software so well that it has become a full-time job that I enjoy doing.
How has your experience with Research & Innovation helped prepare you for your current role?
It is safe to say that my experience at R&I helped me get this job. I am saying this because I got into OPG as a co-op student initially, and I was told on my first day by one of the supervisors that the reason my resume stood out was my experience with 3D design technologies at my previous co-op at Research & Innovation. R&I provided me with the opportunity to put my hands on new technologies such as 3D printers, 3D scanners and laser cutters at an early stage of my program — not only technologies, but at R&I, I developed my project management, writing, presentation, and speaking skills.
A memorable applied research project during your time at R&I?
I had the opportunity to work with OKE Polymer Systems at R&I. The project was to design an aid using their polymer-based material that would help immobile and bed-ridden patients. More than a project, it was an incredible opportunity to work for a good cause. Working on this project was an all-encompassing experience as I worked on so many skills. I worked on my 3D CAD-designing skills, where I learned about mold design function in CAD and became familiar with mold designing in general.
I was also introduced to 3D polyjet printing and print iterations. We did endless trials and errors, where I enhanced my troubleshooting skills and bit by bit improved 3D printing every time I used it to design a different model. At the end of the project, I made a detailed final report, where I demonstrated the report-writing skills I learned in college and also learned new aspects of report writing. I was able to challenge myself throughout this project with so many new skills.
What led you to Niagara College in the first place?
My brother went to Niagara College and took the same program as I did, so I followed in his footsteps. When my brother was a student at NC, and I was in Pakistan, he introduced me to Niagara College. He would also talk about his projects and co-ops and how the professors, career advisors and international advisors had helped him. It was a depiction of how international student-friendly NC is and how innovative the programs are designed.
"I got into OPG as a co-op student initially, and I was told on my first day by one of the supervisors that the reason my resume stood out was my experience with 3D design technologies at my previous co-op at Research & Innovation."
Most memorable experience at NC?
I had the opportunity to go on the 'Be World Ready' trip to Germany with some students and professors from NC's School of Technology. We were able to visit the factories of Porsche, BMW, and Volkswagen. Wow, I can never put it into words how incredible the trip was. It was amazing to learn how people from similar professions are operating in a different part of the world. With lots of learning, we had endless fun. I would highly recommend current students to take part in at least one Be World Ready trip.
A faculty member who influenced you?
Well, it would be extremely difficult to pick one. I am so grateful for all the professors I had during my program. I have heard horrible stories about professors from friends who went to other colleges or universities before me. I was lucky because I was taught by amazing professors all along.
The most amount of time I have spent in classes were with professor Neil Walker [Mechanical Engineering Technology] and professor Aaron Shatkosky [Mechanical Engineering Technology] because they taught us in almost every semester. I do not remember going to Aaron with a question and coming back without an answer. He was always there to help during class or after. His lectures included a lot of learning, a little bit of humour and delicious cookies.
There were no bad questions in Neil's class because Neil would answer everything with such expertise that it would reflect his experience. The way Neil addresses every student's concern in such a huge class is commendable. I was influenced by Neil's dedication and teaching skills throughout the program. He nailed each and every subject he taught (and they were not easy). He has just figured out the art of teaching.
A mentor at R&I?
It was a pleasure to work with everyone at R&I. I mostly worked with my project lead, Gordon Maretzki [now centre manager, WAMIC]. He was a great mentor to me during my co-op at R&I. Even though it was my first-ever job in the field of engineering, he gave me full responsibility for the projects and kept me challenged throughout. He made it very clear that he trusts every student, which made me strive for solutions without fear of messing up. In one of our final project reports, he wrote a paragraph to recognize my work on the project, which today still encourages me every time I read it.
What advice would you impart to current research students or future alumni?
To future alumni, I would like to say: Do not be afraid of trying out new things. Be experimental with co-ops and new interests. Try everything, and, in the end, you might find what you enjoy doing the most. College is the best place to make mistakes and to learn from them.
To current research students: There are endless opportunities and learning at Research & Innovation. Between projects, try to interact and explore new technologies that they have to offer.
Proudest achievement since graduating?
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, our last semester was completed online. It was new and challenging for all the students and professors. Therefore, I was proud to complete my semester with desirable grades. I worked really hard on the job search and finally got hired during a pandemic.
Interests outside of work?
Now that I have graduated, I have some free time after work, in which I have started to invest in learning some music. I recently started to learn to play the guitar.
If you could have a billboard message seen by many, what would it say?
Never associate happiness with the destination. Be happy and enjoy the journey. The destination would itself become desirable.
Anything else you want to say?
Any guitarist reading this? I would love some free lessons! 😀

NC expertise helps partner get innovative dental device to trials
Kerber Applied Research Inc. (KAR) is known for helping other companies with their existing electronic projects, providing system engineering, design guidance and creating prototypes from conceptual ideas through finalized products.
However, the Hamilton, Ont.-based KAR also focuses on their own original inventions for various markets. They sought the expertise of the Walker Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre (WAMIC) for one such prototype for the dental industry.
Vacubright is an innovative dental tool, with LED lighting to increase visibility for dental professionals –providing increased visibility in the oral cavity with a bendable, hand-held device, instead of only using the overhead lamp, used by most dentists and hygienists.
"Our challenge was to have a design 3D printed for testing purposes for dentists and hygienists," says KAR president Tom Kerber, adding that sterilization of the prototype for the trials was an absolute must, given the requirements of the coronavirus pandemic; there was also a limited quantity of LED devices that could be made during the trial period.
Kerber needed to have 20 sets 3D printed using high temperature, high-quality plastic pieces for his trial with dental professionals.
"I tried to 3D print at my facility with good success with printing low temperature plastics, but multiple failures printing with higher temperature plastics, such as nylon," explains Kerber. "The plastic needed to pass through the autoclave disinfection dental appliance with no deformation in the disinfection process."
Kerber then approached Niagara College's Research & Innovation division to leverage its design capabilities and knowledge of injection molding, says Brock Husak, interim research laboratory technologist with WAMIC. "It turned out to be a tricky project considering the requirement needed to make a part injection molded while maintaining important geometry found in the original model."
The WAMIC team used CAD-based software to design the device for injection molding, keeping in mind draft angles, wall thickness, ribbing for added strength, and geometry that is moldable, explains Husak.
After a number of testing and design corrections by the research engineers, in the end, the prototype worked flawlessly, says Kerber.
"I retested the parts under the high temperature disinfection process, extending the normal one-hour dissention time to 12 hours and there was no deformity of the plastic," he says, adding he's now ready to approach the dentists who have expressed an interest to evaluate the new dental device.
He says both dentists and hygienists have told him this "revolutionary light device will offer more depth of light to see in the oral cavity," making their job easier.
"It would not have been possible for me to run the initial trials without a very nice-looking plastic part that can withstand the disinfection process," notes Kerber.
KAR has also worked with the Research & Innovation division's Business & Commercialization Solutions team to obtain market research about the dental industry, developing a website and research into the best channel for launching their product.
This project was made possible through the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP), which provides up to 20 hours of access to the equipment, facilities, and expertise of a Technology Access Centre (TAC) to solve a specific business or technical challenge.
This is one example of the types of technical services offered by the Walker Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre. To discover other resources and capabilities, visit the website.
