I've seen actual photos of the process being done. They're floating around somewhere, but I don't have the links handy. Let's just say that the people they brought on board as references for He-Man and Skeletor were pretty beefed up by the standards of the early 1980s.

By coincidence, I was asked to teach Enos - Words of Mormon on Sunday. The regular instructor will be out for a scheduled event, and so I'll be handling matters.

This is the most famous example, but it was first invented by Max Fleischer of Fleischer Studios back in the late 1930s / early 1940s. It's why so many of his action cartoons, like Superman, seem so lifelike given the technical limitations of the day.

Actually? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotoscoping Filmation used an early form of motion capture known as "rotoscoping" in order to produce He-Man and She-Ra. Filmation's facilities weren't that far from places where athletes, bodybuilders, and weightlifters liked to congregate (remember, this is in California), so what they'd do is whenever new characters were to be introduced they'd send some people out as talent scouts. These scouts would then hire some of these individuals and bring them back to the facilities. The individuals would then dress in costume, pose for reference photos, engage in a series of relative basic & common actions that Filmation expected the characters to engage in quite often, and went from there. So when you're watching the old 1980s Filmation cartoons, you are in fact essentially watching real people.

What happened was that when Filmation was about to ship He-Man out the door they realized that the violence in each episode was on a rather higher level than what kids' shows of the era normally contained. As a result, they devised the PSA bit at the end of each episode in order to put the violence in some sort of context as part of a larger moral bit. This "halo effect" concept caught on, and soon a number of cartoons were doing some sort of PSA or educational segment at the end of each episode. These initially faded away around the end of the 1980s as most of the shows that did these segments got cancelled, but briefly reappeared in the mid-1990s when Congress passed laws requiring that all over-the-air broadcast television stations had to air three hours of "educational and informative" kids' programming a week as stations used these segments to justify tagging whatever show they were attached to as E/I compliant. Nowadays they're more of a meme than anything else, although there are G. I. Joe fans who are open to the idea of the PSAs returning at the end of future content.

For Iran to say that the matter is "concluded" pretty well tells me that Iran won't do anything further. They've made a show of force, and they don't want to do anything else lest Russia and China not protect them against the retaliation.

Also, think for a minute why the in-flight safety briefings tell airline passengers to get their own oxygen masks on before trying to help someone get theirs on. Folks, if you're worried about the spiritual decline of society, get your own affairs in order first. Figure out where you stand, strive to improve, and behave in such a fashion that you are modeling the behaviors you want to see others adopt.

For those who are just tuning in - I have had a very unique, interesting, and "different" life than what most of experienced. There are topics to where if I was to even *vaguely* go into any sort of discussion to any real depth, it would cause people to either glaze over or break down in tears... assuming of course they didn't vomit or freak right out first. Well, by day, I write for a series of newspapers. I do a weekly op/ed and a weekly movie review, and sometimes other material from there. Between my word count restrictions and my audience, I have to be very careful as to what I discuss, how I discuss it, and what lesson I want my audience to learn (if any). I also have to make sure that what I write is something that is accessible to all but the youngest readers. If there are things I don't talk about, it's generally because either there is some restriction in place that prevents discussion or I know that my audience just isn't ready to handle it. Yes, I've actually done entire *series* of columns just to cover a single topic or series of related topics so that people understood what was going on and why I felt compelled to mention it. So sometimes, when people don't infodump on everyone, perhaps you should give them the benefit of the doubt.

In your grandson's case, it literally *could* be that the part of his brain governing the signals from his stomach isn't working properly and so he *could* legit not have an understanding of when his body is full. And apparently, some people on the spectrum do have issues with delayed gratification; I myself had issues at one point to where when I was stressed or not focused I'd spend money. That's the thing with autism, as it's almost always comorbid with *something* physical, mental, or emotional, if not some combination thereof.

Slowly re-watching the anime adaptation for review: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Love_Story!! It's a TV-PG to TV-14 romantic comedy in which a high school student the size of a Buick blunders into a relationship with a tiny little thing after he saves her from being harassed. He means well, but has never had to push himself mentally or academically because he's always had sports to fall back on. She's got a bright future, but is incredibly self-conscious because of her small size and how it puts her at a disadvantage in the world.

It's case by case. I remember one ward I was in where the position of Gospel Doctrine instructor was given to people who needed to somehow grow into the role. Some people needed to humble themselves, others needed to find their courage, et cetra. In contrast, I was finishing up my MBA when I was called upon to be the finance clerk of a YSA branch. Long story short, I had to change the entire culture there as the leadership and clerks had gotten a little sloppy when it came to following official protocols, and even then we almost failed an audit because an attempt to cross-train the membership clerk to do my job ended with the membership clerk deciding to use paper clips instead of staples as per best practices and a key document nearly getting lost as a result.

It's about historic preservation and trying to unlock the mysteries of the past. People forget that even solid objects can be lost or destroyed over time, and all too often they're lost or destroyed deliberately.

Ever since at least junior high school (so about ages 12 - 14), whenever Conference came around things would go sideways in some fashion. Whether it was an argument with my parents the morning of, scheduling conflicts that left me rushing to get things done before Conference, or just general drama in the week leading up to it, things tended to be quite rough. Today, for example, I woke up to discover that for some reason Microsoft redid Office so that it's no longer defaulting to have Auto-Save on, and long story short I may have borked the saves for two critical spreadsheets I'm keeping by trying to manually save them to the cloud as well as to my system (yes, I have them backed up to Google Drive as a failsafe). I'm waiting for either Microsoft tech support or some computer peeps I know to get back to me. Does anyone else find themselves having to deal with a spike in stressful situations and personal problems ahead of Conference?

The "Central Texas Expressway" is the name for the service road that runs alongside US Highway 190 / I-14 as it goes from Killeen to Belton. There are a number of convenience stores and retail areas where you can pull into the parking lot, such as the Market Heights shopping center in Harker Heights, Texas. The main anchors for Market Heights are a Target, a Cinemark, a Barnes & Noble, and a Dick's Sporting Goods. There are also several places to eat while up there, including a Cracker Barrel. Note that while the bathrooms at Target are often in disrepair, you should be good in the other places if they have them.

OK. The pipe is fixed and the stricter water restrictions are over with, but things are still tight and could get tighter. Main thing right now is that my two brothers left us hanging on whether or not they'd be coming up, and yet mom is making us ready the house in case they do.
