D4 Enhanced Clinical Rotation - Application 2026/27
by Trenna Reeve 14 Apr '26

14 Apr '26

Class of 2027, As part of the DENT 4222 General Practice Dentistry Course your class may have the opportunity to take part in the Enhanced Rotation program which includes experiential learning trips to remote Northern communities as well as rural dental offices in Manitoba and a Kindness in Action mission trip with Dr. Boorberg. We are working to put together these experiential learning opportunities for your class in the 2026-2027 academic year. These rotations would be for 1 week duration and would be balanced out with other external rotation opportunities. We will be sending 2 D4 dental students to the rural locations and only 1 D4 student for the northern locations. The mission trip with Dr. Boorberg historically has involved 2 to potentially 5 D4 students. For those who are interested in being considered for any of these Enhanced Rotations, I would ask that you send me an email indicating your interest as well as a brief reflection on how you believe this opportunity could impact your learning. There are 3 potential opportunities: * Northern Manitoba * Rural Manitoba * Mission trip I would ask that you indicate which rotations you are interested in and your personal learning reflection for each and rank them in the order in which you are most interested. There will not be enough rotations for everyone to attend, and there are criteria required from an academic standing position, so there is no guarantee. Consideration will be given to why you feel this opportunity would be valuable to you, what you hope to gain from this experience as well as your overall clinical progress and GPA standing in your third-year courses. Please forward me your application email with the required information by 8AM on Friday 15 May 2026 to be considered for this opportunity. Trenna M.

A Guide to Mastering Drift Hunters
by sandrakent＠sharebot.net 02 Apr '26

02 Apr '26

Ever felt the need for speed, but with a healthy dose of controlled chaos? Then you might be ready to dive into the thrilling world of drifting. And a great place to start, without even opening your wallet, is with the free-to-play game, drift hunters. This browser-based title offers a surprisingly deep and engaging drifting experience, and this guide will help you get started. Introduction: What's the Hype About? Drifting, at its core, is about losing traction intentionally and maintaining control while doing so. It's a dance between grip and slip, demanding finesse and precise inputs. drift hunters perfectly captures this feeling in a simple, accessible package. You won’t find groundbreaking graphics or complex storylines here. Instead, you’ll discover a focus on pure, unadulterated drifting fun, allowing you to hone your skills and push your limits without any distractions. The low barrier to entry makes it perfect for both newcomers to the drifting scene and seasoned veterans looking for a quick adrenaline fix. Gameplay: From Zero to Hero (Drifter) The game's controls are intuitive, making it easy to pick up but challenging to master. You'll primarily be using the WASD keys for steering and acceleration/braking. Spacebar acts as your handbrake, crucial for initiating and maintaining drifts. Shifting gears is managed with the Shift and Ctrl keys. The core gameplay loop revolves around driving your car on a selection of winding tracks, trying to rack up points by initiating and maintaining drifts. The longer and more stylish your drifts, the higher your score multiplier will climb. Points are awarded based on angle, speed, and drift duration. Hitting walls or going off-track will break your combo and reset your multiplier, so precision is key! https://drifthuntersfree.com As you accumulate points, you earn in-game currency. This currency can then be used to purchase new and more powerful cars, each with its own unique handling characteristics. Experimenting with different vehicles is a core part of the experience, as you’ll quickly find some cars suit certain tracks and driving styles better than others. You can also use your earnings to upgrade your existing cars with improved engines, tires, and suspension, allowing you to fine-tune their performance and tailor them to your preferences. This customization aspect adds a layer of depth to the gameplay, encouraging you to continuously improve your skills and your ride. Tips for Becoming a Drift King (or Queen) • Start Slow: Don’t try to be a hero right away. Begin by getting comfortable with the basic controls and understanding how your chosen car handles. Focus on smooth transitions and controlled slides. • Master the Handbrake: The handbrake is your best friend. Learn to use it effectively to initiate drifts and correct your trajectory mid-drift. Short, controlled taps are often more effective than long, drawn-out pulls. • Practice Weight Transfer: Shifting your car's weight can help you initiate and maintain drifts. Try using the accelerator and brakes in conjunction with steering to transfer weight and break traction. • Angle is Everything: Don’t just focus on drifting long; focus on drifting with style. Aim for high drift angles to maximize your score multiplier. However, be careful not to oversteer and spin out! • Upgrade Wisely: When upgrading your car, prioritize the components that will have the biggest impact on your drifting performance. Tires are a great starting point, as they directly affect your grip and slip. Engine upgrades will give you more power to maintain drifts. • Explore the Tracks: Each track in drift hunters presents its own unique challenges. Take the time to learn the layouts and identify the best spots for drifting. • Experiment with Different Cars: Different cars handle differently. Try out various vehicles to find one that suits your driving style. Some cars are better suited for long, sweeping drifts, while others excel at tight, technical maneuvers. Conclusion: Why You Should Give It a Try drift hunters is a fantastic example of how a simple concept, executed well, can provide hours of engaging and addictive gameplay. It's a perfect way to unwind, sharpen your drifting skills, and experience the thrill of controlled chaos, all from the comfort of your browser. So, fire up your computer and get ready to slide sideways into some serious fun! You might just surprise yourself with how quickly you pick up the art of drifting. Now, go out there and conquer those tracks!
