Monday, April 27, 2020 GULF TIMES 3 BODY & MIND COMMUNITY How to take care of your new coronavirus quarantine beard How to groom yourself now that you can’t get to the barber is one of the top Google searches right now. By Elizabeth Wellington GSFM in Philadelphia. “Your beard collects debris, especially when cooking or laying down on a pillow,” Robinson said. “The oil from your skin can make it greasy, so you really need to wash it every day.” Robinson suggests a sulfate-free shampoo because it doesn’t strip your beard of moisture. Duncan’s favourite products include Luster’s SCurl Free Flow Charcoal Mint Shampoo and Luster’s SCurl Free Flow Leave-in Conditioner. In need of a good beard oil? Robinson suggests Canyon, a multipurpose beard oil by Caswell- Massey. “It’s light, has a great fragrance and it’s paraben and petroleum free,” Robinson said. Don’t forget to exfoliate: Just like your T-zone, the skin under the beard gets dry and flaky too, Robinson said. Dry, flaky skin and clogged pores are the main causes of irritated skin and ingrown hairs when growing out facial hair. Robinson suggests men use a product that removes the dead skin cells – or an exfoliator. Most exfoliators, or body scrubs, are applied like soap and you should massage into them to the skin under your beard in a steamy shower. “Create a nice lather, create a nice scrub, and get your exfoliation on. DON’T OVER DO: The one thing you don’t want to do is over-groom. If you are growing out a new beard, trim it once about once a week. The skin underneath the beard needs love, too,” Robinson said.

As California’s coronavirus lockdown enters between us and what’s its second month, some residents on the edges of wild around our own Griffith Park and other urban ecosystems swear that Mother Nature is reclaiming territories that homes — and that’s once echoed with humanity’s tumult.

  • 056 – New Puzzle Videogames — 3/4
    056 – New Puzzle videogames — 3/4 Here, a succinct review of different types of puzzle videogames published between 2001 and 2020. Not in chronological order. Single character control ● Antichamber – 2013 A first-person puzzle-platform game released for Microsoft Windows, Linux and OS X. Many of the puzzles are based on phenomena that occur within impossible objects created by the game engine, such as passages that lead the player to different locations depending on which way they face, and structures that seem otherwise impossible within normal three- dimensional space. The game includes elements of psychological exploration through brief messages of advice to help the player figure out solutions to the puzzles as well as adages for real life. The player controls the unnamed protagonist from a first- person perspective, in an environment full of obstacles. Upon completing a core set of puzzles, the player can access the exit door, upon which he starts to chase down a black cloudlike shape, using all the solving techniques learned before. Eventually he is able to capture the cloud as a black cube and enter a final, more expansive area, where the shape becomes a waiting shell. The shell creates a structure around it (similar to the game's logo) and sucks everything around it into its center, sending the screen to black and ending the game. ● Bobby Carrot – 2004 A video game series developed for iOS and as a WiiWare. The object of the game is to collect all of the carrots in an area and reach a point on the map that progresses the player to the next level.

  • Framework for Developing Interactive 360-Degree Video Adventure Games
    FACULDADE DE ENGENHARIA DA UNIVERSIDADE DO PORTO Framework for Developing Interactive 360-Degree Video Adventure Games Francisco Pinho Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Informática e Computação Supervisor: Rui Rodrigues Co-Supervisor: Rui Nóbrega July 20, 2019 Framework for Developing Interactive 360-Degree Video Adventure Games Francisco Pinho Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Informática e Computação July 20, 2019 Abstract Making game environments, be it in 2D or 3D is an extremely laborious and skill intensive task. 360o content is a visual medium known for its increased spatial immersion and potential enhance- ment of the users’ emotional response to content [EEW18]. The possibility of using interactive 360o video or images as the game environments will allow talent to invest their creativity into other crucial aspects of game design such as narrative, sound and game mechanics. Adventure games belong in a diverse genre comprising many different types of experiences and sub-genres, from text-based adventures to puzzle-oriented point-and-click games, a cinematic experience with player choices or even a mixture of crime investigation with courtroom drama. In essence, games with simpler means of user input and a bigger focus on interactive narratives and storytelling - a very relevant field at the cutting edge of virtual reality research [RTGG17]. Further- more these games feature entirely non reflex based mechanics making the genre of "Adventure" the most fitting for integration with 360-degree visual media. This dissertation presents a framework that will allow the streamlining of the creative process of these experiences by giving creators the tools to make a fully-fledged virtual reality adventure game with 360 visual media as an interactive setting.

Although these claims regularly appear in academic papers subgenres by injecting variance, surprise or unpredictability into about PCG, to our knowledge there are no studies to support either otherwise static designs. Information games are a type of mystery claim, and in our experience adding PCG can actually increase the game in which the player is tasked with gathering knowledge and complexity of the development process. A better justification for developing an understanding of an event or system.

Para alcançar este resultado começou-se por fazer uma investigação sobre o espaço, e foram analisados jogos persu- asivos que se debruçam sobre temas semelhantes. A partir desta análise, foi desenhado e desenvolvido um protótipo, que pretende comunicar à população os problemas sócio-culturais encontrados nos bairros sociais de Chelas. “Distorção” é um jogo que coloca o participante a viver no bairro de Chelas, numa a posição social desconfortável dos seus habi- tantes, e confronta-o com decisões morais complexas que têm impacto na vida do bairro.

  • FICCIÓ DIGITAL Videojocs + 12 Anys
    BIBLIOTEQUES MAIG DE GRANOLLERS 2020 FICCIÓ DIGITAL videojocs + 12 anys Les històries de ficció també ens arriben en format digital, i no només en forma de llibre electrònic, sinó també a través dels videojocs. Et deixem algunes recomanacions de jocs que pots compartir en família a través de diferents dispositius, seguint els mateixos criteris de qualitat i diversitat que tenim en compte a l’hora d’escollir llibres, cinema o música. Consideracions prèvies Edat: les indicacions d’edat dels videojocs (https://pegi.info/es) tenen en compte només la idoneïtat segons l’edat, però no l’habilitat. Nosaltres hem intentat tenir present les dues coses. Idioma: només l’indiquem quan sols es troba en anglès i és essencial per poder seguir el fil narratiu de la història. Espais de joc i compraventa: pàgines com Steam, Itch.io, Epic Game o Origin us poden ajudar a ampliar el ventall de videojocs, oferint-vos propostes alternatives als videojocs més comercials: autors premiats, estètiques molt diverses, i plantejaments que us sorprendran (jocs narratius, d’exploració, col·laboratius, trencaclosques, enginy, humor...). Preu: a les xarxes podeu trobar jocs gratuïts de més o menys qualitat. Els videojocs, però, com tot l’oci cultural, tenen un preu que reverteix en els artistes creadors. El preu que us adjuntem és aproximat. Si seguiu les plataformes de videojocs sovint hi ha ofertes molt interessants. Et recomanem Outer Wilds Premiat. Món obert, un bucle espaciotemporal. T’acabes d’incorporar en un programa espacial que viatja per un sistema solar desconegut i en constant evolució. Explora les ciutats subterrànies, desxifra els missatges secrets alienígenes i, sobretot, comprova els teus nivells d’oxigen i vigila amb les conseqüències del bucle temporal infinit.
