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!

by Susan Petras 31 Mar '26

31 Mar '26

Hello Dentistry and Dental Hygiene Classes, Please find attached a list of courses and Course Coordinators which includes a listing of Student Reps (3 per course) for Student Course Evaluation. Also attached is some further information on the course evaluation process as well as a form that needs to be completed for each course. The College/School relies on student feedback to continually improve our course delivery. Please contact your Course Coordinator for any course that you have been assigned to as an evaluator (working on behalf of the entire class) and make arrangements to meet to discuss the course prior to the end of term.

Senior Lab Clean-up
by Trenna Reeve 24 Mar '26

24 Mar '26

D3 students, This will be your last reminder. The state of the senior lab is your responsibility and it is not being attended to in an acceptable manner. The options are: 1. You keep the senior lab clean, neat and tidy, and it remains open for you after hours and on weekends, OR 2. The senior lab hours are limited to 8am to 5pm daily and closed on the weekends. If I enter the lab again and it is not in a clean state, then I will be forced to close the lab for everyone until I can arrange for custodial services to clean the space which may take days. It is a busy time of the year so the demand in the senior lab is high. Keep it clean. Dr. Reeve Trenna M.

Denture Delivery Patient Instructions
by Trenna Reeve 23 Mar '26

23 Mar '26

D3 and D4 students, When you deliver your complete dentures, it is valuable to verbally explain to your patients what to expect short term and long term for new and repeat denture wearers. To help you with this communication a brochure has been developed for you to share with your patient to help prepare and inform them of what to expect with their new dentures. These brochures will be held in the dispensary. Ensure that you verbally review what to expect with your patient and provide them with a brochure to reference. Dr. Reeve Trenna M.

Mastering the Addictive World of Slope
by markjoyce＠virgilian.com 20 Mar '26

20 Mar '26

Ever find yourself needing a quick, engaging game that tests your reflexes and concentration? Look no further than Slope. This deceptively simple game, available online, is surprisingly addictive and offers a satisfying challenge that can keep you coming back for more. It's perfect for a quick break, a train commute, or just when you need to sharpen your focus. Let's delve into the world of Slope and see what makes it so captivating. Getting Started: Gameplay Basics At its core, Slope is a minimalist endless runner. You control a ball hurtling down an infinitely generated, 3D slope. The goal? Survive as long as possible. Sounds easy, right? Think again. The beauty of Slope lies in its simplicity and the steep (pun intended!) learning curve. You control the ball's movement with just two keys: left and right. These keys shift the ball laterally, allowing you to navigate around obstacles and stay on the ever-narrowing path. The speed is relentless. The further you travel, the faster you go, increasing the challenge exponentially. Precision and quick reflexes are key. You’ll need to anticipate turns, dodge red blocks that appear seemingly out of nowhere, and stay focused amidst the increasingly frenetic pace. As you progress, the terrain becomes more complex. You'll encounter increasingly tight turns, steeper drops, and more strategically placed obstacles. Mastering the art of subtle adjustments becomes crucial. A slight tap of the left or right key can be the difference between a near miss and a game over. While the core gameplay remains consistent, Slope throws in some subtle variations to keep things fresh. Occasionally, you'll encounter ramps that launch you into the air, allowing you to bypass sections of the path. This adds a layer of strategic decision-making; do you risk the jump, or play it safe and stick to the ground? Tips and Tricks for the Aspiring Slope Master https://slopegame-online.com Ready to improve your Slope game? Here are a few tips to help you achieve a higher score and master the slopes: Practice makes perfect: This is perhaps the most obvious advice, but it's also the most important. The more you play, the better you'll become at anticipating turns and reacting quickly. Focus on the road ahead: Try to look slightly ahead of your ball, rather than directly at it. This will give you more time to react to upcoming obstacles. Small adjustments are key: Avoid over-steering. Gentle taps of the left and right keys are often more effective than holding them down. Use the edges: Running along the edges of the path can sometimes give you a slight speed boost. Learn the obstacle patterns: While the level generation is random, certain obstacle placements are more common than others. By learning these patterns, you can anticipate them and react more effectively. Don't be afraid to slow down: While speed is important, sometimes a controlled descent is better than a reckless one. Ease off the controls slightly when approaching tricky sections to give yourself more time to react. Patience is paramount: You will crash. A lot. Don't get discouraged. Every crash is a learning opportunity. Analyze what went wrong and try to avoid making the same mistake next time. Why not try out Slope and practice these tips! Conclusion: A Simple Game with Enduring Appeal Slope is a testament to the fact that a game doesn't need complex graphics or intricate storylines to be engaging. Its simple gameplay, coupled with its challenging difficulty, makes it a perfect game for quick bursts of fun or longer gaming sessions. The constant pursuit of a higher score keeps players coming back for more, making it a remarkably addictive and endlessly replayable experience. The next time you are looking for a simple yet engaging game, remember these tips and tricks and you'll be gliding down the slopes in no time!

Get Your Game Face On: A Fun Look at Football Bros
by sapphirekayla＠sharebot.net 20 Mar '26

20 Mar '26

Ready for some over-the-top, physics-based football mayhem? Then you might want to check out Football Bros. It’s not your typical Madden experience; think more along the lines of ragdoll antics, hilarious tackles, and pure, unadulterated arcade fun. This article will give you a breakdown of the game, how to play, some helpful tips, and hopefully, inspire you to give it a try. https://footballbrosfree.com Introduction: Forget the Rules, Embrace the Chaos! Forget complex formations, playbooks, and meticulously planned strategies. Football Bros is all about simple controls, unpredictable physics, and laugh-out-loud moments. It's a game that's easy to pick up but surprisingly difficult to master. You’ll find yourself contorting your digital athletes into the most bizarre positions imaginable, leading to moments of both triumph and utter failure. The charm of Football Bros lies in its simplicity and its ability to generate unpredictable and comical situations. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or just looking for a quick and entertaining distraction, this game has something to offer. Gameplay: Simple Controls, Hilarious Results The core gameplay of Football Bros is surprisingly straightforward. You control two players on your team, an offensive player and a defensive player, using simple keyboard controls. Typically, you'll use the WASD keys for movement and the spacebar for jumping and tackling. That's it! The objective is, of course, to score touchdowns. On offense, you’ll need to maneuver your player down the field, avoiding defenders (or strategically running them over). The ragdoll physics engine plays a huge role here. A well-timed jump or a strategic tackle can send your opponent flying, creating opportunities to break free and sprint towards the end zone. On defense, your goal is to stop the opposing player from scoring. You can do this by tackling them, intercepting the ball, or simply trying to knock them off their feet. Tackling in Football Bros isn't about precision; it's about brute force and a little bit of luck. You'll often see players flopping, tumbling, and colliding in the most absurd ways. The game typically features different modes, including single-player against AI opponents and a highly enjoyable two-player mode where you can challenge your friends to a hilarious head-to-head battle. The simplicity of the controls and the unpredictable physics make it perfect for some lighthearted competition. Tips to Dominate the Gridiron (or at Least Not Embarrass Yourself): While Football Bros is easy to learn, a few tips can help you improve your game and increase your chances of victory: • Master the Jump: The jump is your best friend in Football Bros. Use it to dodge tackles, gain extra speed, and even leap over defenders. A well-timed jump can make all the difference between scoring a touchdown and getting flattened. • Embrace the Tackle: Don't be afraid to get physical! Tackling is crucial for stopping your opponent on defense. Try to time your tackles to knock them off balance or send them flying. Even if you miss, you might still manage to disrupt their momentum. • Use the Environment: Some versions of Football Bros may include environmental elements that you can use to your advantage. For instance, you might be able to bounce off walls to gain speed or use obstacles to block defenders. • Practice Makes...Less Terrible: The physics engine can be a bit unpredictable, so don't get discouraged if you don't succeed immediately. Keep practicing, experimenting with different strategies, and learning how the physics work. • Two-Player is King: While the single-player mode is fun, Football Bros truly shines in two-player mode. Grab a friend, fire up the game, and prepare for some hilarious and competitive action. • Strategic Running: Don't just blindly run forward. Observe the position of the defenders and try to find openings. A well-timed juke or a quick change of direction can help you evade tackles and create scoring opportunities. You can even find Football Bros to play online, and challenge other people. • Don’t Overthink It: Remember, this isn’t about meticulous strategy. It’s about having fun! Embrace the chaos and enjoy the ridiculousness of the gameplay. Conclusion: A Recipe for Fun and Mayhem Football Bros is a delightful departure from traditional football games. Its simple controls, unpredictable physics, and over-the-top action make it a perfect choice for casual gamers and anyone looking for a quick and entertaining distraction. Whether you're playing solo against the AI or battling it out with a friend, this game is guaranteed to provide plenty of laughs and memorable moments. So, ditch the complex strategies, embrace the chaos, and get ready for some hilarious, physics-based football mayhem! It’s a fun way to unwind and enjoy some lighthearted competition. Give it a try – you might just surprise yourself with how much fun you have!
