![]() ![]() Almighty Janitor: The main cast are basically some of the most literal interpretations of this trope, being street sweeping ninjas.With the release of Dustforce DX, the Steam trading cards now show the names proper.For their Mirror Boss counterparts, their respective names are Dustwraith, Leafsprite, Trashking, and Slimeboss. For the Dustforce, blue guy is Dustman, red is Dustgirl, purple is Dustkid, and green is Dustworth. You would only ever be able to find them out if you look through the game's files. All There in the Manual: The characters have names.An update, Dustforce DX, was released on October 23 of the same year, reworking the tutorial and hub, as well as adding more levels (including the user-made Community Map Pack). Ī PlayStation 3 and Play Station Vita port was released on February 4, 2014. Be warned though that this prototype is out of date, running on an entirely different engine and having much more temperamental controls than the final product. Each level has a different character, with some emphasizing acrobatics, others smooth combo-building, and one showcasing some Nintendo Hard platforming. An extensive prototype demo was released a while back, including a set of levels and a full level-editor. The game was released on Steam on January 17, 2012. ![]() The game also features beautiful environments, smooth animation and soothing music, giving it a very airy and light atmosphere. While you will still have to work out how to collect it all, you can deduce what kind of sequence of acrobatics is required to proceed. ![]() As well as looking beautiful the dust (or leaves etc.) clings to floors, walls and ceilings and is placed in such a way to mark the optimal path through the level. Of particular note are the dust mechanics. Only a perfect run, collecting all the dust without stopping, will net you the highest SS ranking (S+ in the prototype). The game is focused on flowing gameplay, with a scoring system that awards not only dust collected but combos, meaning you will need to use seamless platforming to avoid stopping collecting dust. The game is Le Parkour at its finest as you will have to pick the optimal path to take you past all the dust and use dizzying combinations of wall-running to keep you on track. Your objective is to dash, Double Jump, Wall Jump, wall run and somersault through twisting Parkour racecourses while cleaning up all the dust that litters its obscure corners. You play as the Dustforce, a band of the most athletic cleaners in the world. Dustforce is an acrobatic 2D platformer produced by indie developer Hitbox Team. ![]()

![]() ![]() We explore whether those behavioral frames overlap in productive ways with epistemological frames, thus supporting our efforts to interpret rich video data. We argue that by conducting a systematic analysis of behavioral frames using computerized algorithms we can model student frames as a latent class variable. We explore the potential for using a multimodal learning analytic approach to identify whether clusters of observable behaviors can be used to identify and characterize behavioral frames in rich video data of student interviews. It is easier to catalog observable behaviors (e.g., body motions or gaze) without explicitly attempting to identify their social relevance for the participants. One of the challenges many learning scientists face is the laborious task of coding large amounts of video data and consistently identifying social actions, which is time consuming and difficult to accomplish in a systematic and consistent manner. ![]() Finally, the paper provides an overview of commonly adopted time-on-task estimation methods in educational and related research fields. The primary goal of this paper is to raise awareness and initiate a debate on the important issue of time-on-task estimation within a broader learning analytics community. This is particularly true for online setting where the amount of interaction with LMS is typically higher. Based on modeling different student performance measures with popular statistical methods in two datasets (one online and one blended), our findings indicate that time-on-task estimation methods play an important role in shaping the final study results. This paper presents findings from two experiments that looked at the different time-on-task estimation methods and how they influence the final research findings. While time-on-task measures have been extensively used in Learning Analytics research, the details of their estimation are rarely described and the consequences that this process entails are not fully examined. Extracted time-on-task measures are then used to build predictive models of student learning in order to understand and improve learning processes. Among different uses of trace data, it has been extensively used to calculate time that students spent on different learning activities – commonly referred to as student time-on-task. With the widespread adoption of Learning Management Systems (LMS) and other learning technology, large amounts of data – commonly known as trace data – are being recorded and are readily accessible to educational researchers. ![]() ![]() Though both the Tarte and the NYX concealers offer a ton of coverage, one provides picture perfect-looking skin: Shape Tape. Whether you have broken capillaries around your nose, dark under eye circles, or hormonal acne, there’s no better way to hide blemishes than with a full-coverage formula. Tarte Shape Tape and NYX HD Photo Concealer Wand ranked high, compared to other options. Our testers assessed each one based on consistency, coverage, blendability, and staying power, before deciding on a rating from one to five. In other words, it’s quarantine-chic.Byrdie editors did extensive research on popular concealers (including both luxe and drugstore options), taking expert recommendations and consumer reviews into account before choosing 48 to test out first-hand in The Lab, our Manhattan-based product testing facility. It’s that perfect product to give you that dewiness we all crave but doesn’t look like you applied a shimmery bright highlighter to your face. So, on my lighter makeup days (AKA everyday in social isolation), I wear just the Glow Wand on my undereyes, but when I am doing more of a glam look, I will apply the original Shape Tape concealer under my eyes and then use the Glow Wand to highlight underneath my eyes, on top of my cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose and on my cupid’s bow. It’s definitely not as full coverage as the original concealer but it provides a light, natural coverage. It’s simply just brightening.Īs far as it’s concealer properties go, you can wear the Glow Wand concealer with or without the Shape Tape concealer. Because of these micro-fine diamond pigments, it doesn’t come off as glittery or shimmery. And because it was available in a mini size, I thought I might as well give it a try! At first glance, it was a little confusing to decipher if it was a highlighter or a concealer but after trying it out, I realized it really is both! It’s a liquid brightener with micro-fine diamond pigments to diffuse light, giving it a blurred, soft-focus finish. It was described as an instant eye lift in a bottle. So when deciding what else to buy to hit the free shipping threshold, I realized Tarte had a new member in their Shape Tape family: the Shape Tape Glow Wand ( mini: $10USD/$13CAD, full size: $25USD/$33CAD). ![]() And you know ya girl can’t pay for shipping. However, when I went to add it to cart, I noticed I was a few dollars short for free shipping. I was browsing the Tarte website and stumbled across a blush palette set that I had been wanting for a long time. My wallet isn’t happy but hey, the distraction from this pandemic was well worth the money spent. So, I did what I do best and ordered a ton of online orders from all of my favorite stores. And I’m sure a large percentage of you reading this feel the same. But man, if I thought I was stressed before, I don’t even know how to describe the level of panic I feel now. My mom always used to joke that she would automatically know I was stressed when a bunch of packages started arriving at the door. Whether I had a big exam coming up or a particularly hard day at work, my first impulse would be to open up my laptop and start online shopping. I’m sure that’s no surprise to the majority of you. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He goes out looking for him, but can’t track him down.

![]() ![]() The Elves were the most prevalent race in the First and Second Ages of Middle-earth. The Fourth Age & The Dominion of Men Began There are, however, a few confirmed details. This period of Middle-earth's timeline, unlike its pre- Lord of the Rings history, isn't covered in great detail. Shortly after the conclusion of The Return of the King, the Fourth Age kicked off. The Third Age, which lasted for a period of 3021 years, is the setting for both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogies. Tolkien wrote a surprisingly large amount about The Second Age in his appendices and books like The Silmarillion. ![]() The Second Age is the focus of Amazon's Lord of the Rings TV series, The Rings of Power. The timeline of Middle-earth is broken up into several long eras, and the Third Age is just one of them. Most of these events took place in an era known as the Third Age. Aragorn lived a long, full life with Arwen for many years after The Lord of the Rings, and passed away at the age of 210. He married the Elf, Arwen (Liv Tyler), who willingly gave up her Elven immortality in order to share a life with Aragorn. Meanwhile, also seen in the movie adaptation, Aragorn took his rightful place as the King of Gondor. As seen at the end of Return of the King, Frodo left Middle-earth for the Undying Lands. What most viewers know is that Frodo wasn't content with his life in the Shire, due in part to injuries he sustained in The Lord of the Rings. This film shows us that it is not.Some of this is depicted in The Return of the King movie from Peter Jackson's trilogy, and more is covered in the extended editions. Like all the people who buy expensive automobiles to give them a feeling of power and independence, only to discover that no matter how snazzy their car is, they still feel powerless and unhappy, James and Catherine have bought into one of our culture's Big Lies, that sex is the answer. But not even the horror of mutilation or the adrenaline rush of near-death experience can lend James and Catherine's desperate coupling the depth of feeling that they so desperately crave. They begin to watch films of crash tests and fatal race accidents like other people would watch erotic films, and to have sex with people whose bodies have been mutilated by car crashes. They have sex in crashed cars, and start touring crash sites on the freeway as a form of foreplay. They attend staged recreations of famous car crashes, like the one that killed James Dean. With Helen, at first James, then Catherine too is drawn into Vaughan's world, where sex and death (eros and thanatos for you Freudians) meet in the twisted metal of wrecked cars and the mutilated bodies of the victims of fatal car crashes and the survivors of near-fatal ones. James is hurt in a car crash, and during his stay in the hospital he meets Helen (who was in the other car) and later Vaughan, a man who like James and Catherine is in desperate search of feeling, only he looks for it in the violence of car crashes. So they instead seek more and more extreme forms of sexual stimulation, only to be disappointed again and again. Unfortunately, in Crash, there is no one to suggest to David and Catherine Ballard that maybe it isn't through sex that they will find the transformation and connection they are craving. In the more recent movie Pleasantville, the Jennifer/Mary Sue character is unable to feel anything either, and remains stubbornly black and white no matter how much sex she has, until her brother suggests that "maybe it isn't the sex" that is the key to moving from black and white to color, from passionlessness to feeling. They crave connection, they are starved for a glimpse of transcendence, but no matter what they do, no matter who they do it with or how often, while their bodies may feel passion, their minds and hearts remain cold and empty. Instead, they discover to their horror that even during sex they still feel nothing. ![]() These are people who have been told all their lives by their culture, by TV and movies, that sex is, on the one hand, the most perfect form of communion and connection with another human being and, on the other hand, that it is the ultimate in transcendent and transformative experiences. Even in the midst of frenzied lovemaking, the characters remain distant, their voices quiet and abstracted, their gazes directed inward. Crash is a very sexually explicit film, but if you buy or rent this movie expecting it to be an evening's erotic entertainment, you are going to be disappointed, because it is also an anti-erotic film. ![]() ![]() ![]() A potion and some coins drop from his corpse.Īs if spurred on by the death of their comrade, the remaining goblins begin to circle.
