During his time in dental school, he learned traditional hand-filing methods, such as the “step-back” technique. Step-back versus crown-downīrian attended the University of Maryland Dental School from 1993 to 1997, and then performed his endodontic residency from 1997 to 1999. Since many veterinary dentists are utilizing rotary and reciprocating file technology, I wanted to get Brian’s input on how its use has affected his practice. In addition to having a unique dentist’s office (and one that emphasizes the soothing effects of music), Brian has a passion for cutting-edge techniques and equipment in endodontics. Hall, DDS, who is an endodontist for humans in Frederick, Md. I recently had a conversation with my cousin, Brian D. 1,2 Let’s delve further into what many consider to be the most important step of the orthograde root canal procedure: instrumenting the canal. Then we discussed the steps associated with standard (orthograde) root canal therapy, including access, instrumenting the canal (cleaning and shaping), obturation, and restoration. To recap the article, we looked at how certain endodontically diseased teeth may be best treated by root canal therapy, rather than extraction due to the invasiveness of removing functionally important teeth in dogs and cats. In my March 2019 column, we discussed the rationale and the steps associated with performing a root canal procedure. By John Lewis, VMD, FAVD, DAVDC Figure 1: Intraoperative radiograph of a rotary file being used in the left mandibular canine tooth (# 304) during the instrumentation stage of an orthograde root canal therapy.

His breach was only partially successful, as he and his team were driven into retreat by Winston. They believe that the Reaper is hunting former Overwatch agents and systematically eliminating them, a hypothesis supported by his infiltration of Watchpoint: Gibraltar, where he sought a list of the names and locations of former Overwatch agents. The stereotype that all Reaper players are edgy has existed since. Those tracking his movements have begun to see a pattern in his appearances. Why are reaper players in Overwatch so edgy - Quora Answer (1 of 8): Because you are a STEROTYPICAL LITTLE TURD WHO THINKS Oh, they play Repaer, now I know EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM and how they are SOOOO EDGY Stop stereotyping, just because you do something doesn’t mean that it defines you. As experienced players within the Overwatch game, we have seen the community grow. It is possible that he is a byproduct of failed genetic alteration which forces his cells to simultaneously decay and regenerate at a hyper-accelerated rate. The few bodies recovered of those he kills are pale, empty husks drained of life, their cells showing signs of intense degradation.

Even in more public places-the Overwatch Museum in New York-Reaper was narrowly thwarted in stealing the Doomfist gauntlet. In Venice, where the body of Talon leader Augusto Vialli was found amid the carnage. 'Reaper here' - Overwatchs favourite edgy grandpa is making his way into the Street Fighter 5 world via PC mod - see him in action in this video. In Russia, amid an assassination plot against Volskaya Industries’ Katya Volskaya. In New Mexico, where scientist Siebren de Kuiper was kidnapped from a black site facility. The Reaper is an extremely volatile mercenary, a ruthless and remorseless killer responsible for terrorist attacks across the world. And Gared’s story suffers from the opposite fate. Thus, Mira’s troubles in King’s Landing in episode 6 often come off as disproportionately severe, seeing as her arc has been languishing in fantasy bureaucracy for a while now. Queen Margaery may remember what I said to her before the coronation ceremony a few episodes ago, but I sure as hell don’t. It’s to Telltale’s credit that here in episode 6, those nudges can beget wildly divergent endgames for characters, but it’s taken a full season, and 4 months since episode 5, to get to this point. In contrast, with Mira and Gared’s storylines, you’re just nudging the wheel a bit to the left or right as you’re presented with decision after decision. Of course, the game eventually offers up some dialogue choices that could possibly derail the scheme, but the pursuit of that derailment was one of the only moments over the course of Telltale’s series where “player choice” didn’t feel reactionary. As a player, I set out to push for an alternate non-violent route before the attack was to take place, which gave me a goal to pursue without the game spelling it out plainly. While that may seem par for the course in Game of Thrones, for the Forresters to essentially stoop to such villainous tactics illustrates a desperation and a blind pursuit of survival at the cost of honor. The plan, either way, is to attack your foes over dinner it’s just a question of method. You are given two choices, and both surprisingly involve violating the ancient laws of guest right. One example of this is when Asher (assuming your Asher is still around) has to decide how to deal with the Whitehill forces that are laying siege to Ironrath. While there’s no climactic moment where all of your choices laid in front of you, ala the conclusion of The Walking Dead’s first season, there are plenty of instances where the game limits your options to force role-playing in frustrating, but nonetheless enlightening, ways. Still, Episode 6 gets closer to figuring out the puzzle of Westerosi agency than any prior. The result is that episodes of the game largely come off as fanservice Ultimately, it’s unclear whether these two polar concepts can coexist in a Game of Thrones context as complements. The game fluctuates between the TV show’s penchant for rubbing the audience’s face in their own powerlessness (shocking deaths of “safe” characters) and the expectations players have for controlling and molding game worlds to their liking. Characters will die in Telltale’s game, and in episode 6 you have some control over who goes under the knife. The litany of technical issues (audio dropout, graphical hitching, etc.) that the series suffers from only serves to further shatter that artifice. While some of the Forresters are likeable, none inspire the adoration of an Arya Stark or a Jon Snow, which in turn lowers the ceiling of player investment. So while Telltale isn’t afraid to throw some gut-punches with the choices it puts upon players, there is, in most cases, a weightlessness to the endeavor. Martin’s dense, five-books-and-counting saga. The result is that episodes of the game largely come off as fanservice-a loose remix of the Starks’ story, if the Starks were only important enough to be mentioned in passing one time, in the company of several other “clans,” across George R.R. You decide how much you want to brag to a friend and how respectfully to treat your superiors, but there’s no way of making Gared say, “Hey, did you all see the title card for this scene? We need to get out of here!” It’s this sentiment that set the tone for the episodes to follow, particularly in relation to the HBO show from which it is licensed: yes, your choices matter on a performative, player-as-actor/director/scriptwriter level, but they bear no consequence on the canonical happenings of Westeros at large. Prior to the slaughter, you control Gared, a humble squire, as you make idle chatter amidst the would-be celebration, but there’s no option to stop the massacre that you know is imminent. If you remember back to episode 1, Telltale’s saga begins with the tragic Red Wedding, where some of the most likeable protagonists from the TV show and book are shockingly murdered, and certain game-only characters suffer the same fate. But now with season 1 at its close, it’s worth asking whether a plot that the player controls is really in the spirit of Game of Thrones to begin with. And in the final episode of season 1 of Telltale’s series, the stakes are the highest of the whole season, not only for the characters beset with the inevitably bloody dealings within, but also for a game design thesis that has continued to promise and remind players that their choices will matter, steering the plot and shaping the characters. On paper, Game of Thrones’ complex medieval intrigue and Telltale Games’ unique brand of choose-your-own-adventure storytelling is a perfect match.

It says you don't need to protest you don't need to write your congressman you don't need to do any of the things that citizens do, because everything's getting better all the time.Īnd then the other part about it is the enormous textbooks. Īnd the second part is what it does to the high school student. And what I mean by that is the overall theme of American history is we started out great and we've been getting better ever since kind of automatically. Usually when I'm asked, "What's the biggest lie?" I put my hand out in front of me slanting upward and to the right. The book is called Lies My Teacher Told Me. And that's what got me so interested in American history as a weapon. And that it had been used against my students. That whole escapade proved to me that history can be a weapon. District Court found for Loewen and the textbook was adopted for several years. Why dwell on it now?" And the judge said, "Well, it is a history book." The judge - who was an white Mississippian, but a man of honor - took over the questioning, and he said, "But that happened, didn't it? Didn't Mississippi have more lynchings than any other state?" And Turnipseed said, and again I quote, "Well, yes, but that all happened so long ago. Turnipseed is on the stand and he says: "Now, you know, some ninth-graders, especially black male ninth-graders, are pretty big, and I worried that teachers, especially white lady teachers, would have trouble controlling their classes with material like this in the book." And ironically almost none do to this day. Now, our textbook at that time was the only textbook in America that included a photo of a lynching. And he had us turn to page where there's a photo of a lynching. The assistant attorney general for the state of Mississippi asked why he had voted against our book. Let's say it had a dramatic moment, and that came when John Turnipseed was on the stand. The lawsuit had a "Perry Mason" moment - only your older listeners will understand what that is. So you set out to write your own textbook, didn't you? So I thought to myself, "My gosh, what must it do to you to believe that the one time your group was center stage in American history, they screwed up?" It was white supremacist Democrats - indeed, it was the original Ku Klux Klan. But they were too soon out of slavery and so they screwed up and white folks had to take control again."Ī third lie would be, whites didn't take control. I had 17 new students in my new second semester seminar and I didn't want to do all the talking the first day of class so I asked them, "OK, what is Reconstruction? What comes to your mind from that period?"Īnd what happened to me was an aha experience, although you might better consider it an oh-no experience: 16 out of my 17 students said, "Well, Reconstruction was the period right after the Civil War when blacks took over the government of the Southern states. My first full-time teaching job was at a black college, Tougaloo College in Mississippi. The following conversation has been edited for clarity and length.Ĭan you take me back to the original inspiration for the book? What that does, I hope, is signal to every reader of the book: Yes, there are such things as facts here. There's all kinds of grass and gaps that you see in the Trump photo. And you just look at those two photos and they're completely different. He tells NPR, "I started out the new edition with the famous two photographs of the inaugural crowds of this guy named President Obama, his first inauguration, and this guy named President Trump, his first and maybe only inauguration. In a new edition out this summer, James Loewen - now professor emeritus of sociology at the University of Vermont - is championing the cause of critical thinking in the age of fake news. The book has racked up many awards and sold around 2 million copies since it was first published in 1995. In doing so, Lies My Teacher Told Me overturned one assumption embedded in the history classes I'd been sitting through all my life: that the United States is constantly ascending from greatness to greatness. It introduced me to concepts that still help me make sense of the world, like the "racial nadir" - the downturn in American race relations, starting after Reconstruction, that saw the rise of lynchings and the Ku Klux Klan. Lies My Teacher Told Me, by James Loewen, explained how history textbooks got the story of America wrong, usually by soft-pedaling, oversimplifying and burying the thorny drama and uncertainties of the past under a blanket of dull, voice-of-God narration. Slim in contrast to our hulking required textbook, it was a funny, compelling, even shocking read. When I was a high school junior in New Orleans taking AP American history, my teacher assigned us a paperback book. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.

That means you can’t see previous usernames, and therefore you can’t search the replies or mentions for any previous usernames you don’t already know. The problem is that all the results will display as if they’d been posted under the current username. When you search for a username on Twitter, the site will potentially show you all tweets made by the account that currently bears that username. So, that’s how to take care of the future, but you may be more interested in looking into the past. No matter what the user does with that account now, as long as it exists on Twitter you can instantly find it. Once the user’s page appears, bookmark it, and you’re done. You can see how it’ll look if you click the active link above. When you do, the user’s Twitter will come up on screen. The URL in your address bar is now complete, so you can hit enter.

It won’t enable you to trace past username changes (that’s coming up next), but it will enable you to find the account if the username changes in future. This is obviously orientated towards the future. How do you track them?… You bookmark their account’s unique ID. They’ve blocked you, so you can’t just follow them (and you may not want to follow them anyway). You need to keep an eye on them and they’re always changing their username. But if you do decide to read this guide, you’ll learn a lot about digging deep into Twitter for obscure info, and gain a fantastic insight into how vulnerable we all are to being monitored – even retrospectively. Whether you want to learn the process really depends on how much you want the information. This takes varying degrees of detective work, and there is a learning curve. The bad news is that if you were expecting some sort of one-click app that rounds up old Twitter usernames on the spot, you’re going to be disappointed. It’s admittedly more difficult with deleted accounts, but it’s straightforward with currently active, public accounts. Even after Twitter accounts have been deleted and are long gone, it’s still often possible to track their username progressions, and establish an overview of what the users were up to. Social media is terrible at keeping secrets, and when it comes to username changes on Twitter, that couldn’t be more true. This comes in a line of posts which could be placed into the general category of: “ Don’t think you can behave like an absolute plank on social media and then remove all trace of what you’ve done”.
