...give it up. Masrun, with a toothless smile, says he's now free to sell whatever he harvests, and he's earning 10 times more than before.

...master of stop-frame (also called stop-motion) animation. Now almost entirely supplanted by digital modeling and animation, the technique was expensive and difficult. A flexible model of the creature-protagonist was placed in a miniature set in front of a locked-down camera.

Although we support HASCS in its attempt to make sure that a functioning network is available to students, the current problems would...
