Australian city workers' average commute has blown out to 66 minutes a day. How does yours compare?
The average weekly commuting time in Australia has increased considerably since 2002, and this can have negative impacts on job satisfaction and productivity, RMIT experts say.
According to the latest Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey released today, workers averaged 3.7 hours' commuting time per week in 2002, but this had increased to 4.5 hours by 2017.
In 2017, workers in mainland state capitals (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth) had consistently longer commute times than those living elsewhere. These city workers typically spent more than an hour travelling to and from work each day. The average was about 66 minutes. This is a 20% increase from the average of around 55 minutes in 2002.
As in past surveys, Sydney had the longest average daily commutes (71 minutes). In 2017, it was followed by Brisbane (67 minutes), Melbourne (65 minutes), Perth (59 minutes) and Adelaide (56 minutes). Reasons for the increasing commute time vary among different cities but may include increased road congestion, urban expansion and poor public transport services.
Average daily commuting times across Australia also increased from about 49 minutes in 2002 to almost one hour in 2017.
Workers in the Northern Territory had the shortest commutes in 2017, averaging close to 35 minutes per day.
The HILDA analysis covers all workers aged 15 years and older. This includes those with commuting times of zero (that is, who work from home).
Daily commuting times are calculated by dividing the time spent travelling to and from work in a typical week by the usual number of days worked per week.
The survey, based on interviews with about 17,000 Australians yearly, also reveals that the share of people commuting two or more hours a day is increasing, from 12% in 2002 to 18% in 2017. Men are more likely than women to be long-distance commuters. And middle-aged workers (aged 25-54) are more likely to have long commutes than younger and older workers.
Interestingly, fathers of two children had the highest likelihood (27%) of having long commutes, while mothers with two children were the least likely (less than 13%). On the one hand, households with dependent children are more likely to live in suburban locations for the larger houses, potentially increasing commuting distance for workers in these households. On the other hand, female workers' relatively lower wage rate and more household responsibilities, such as child rearing, may restrict them to choosing jobs closer to home.
Impacts on job satisfaction
According to the HILDA Survey, long-distance commuters (two hours or more a day) are less likely than short-distance commuters (less than one hour) to be satisfied with their working hours, work-life balance and even pay. Therefore, they have lower levels of overall job satisfaction. These long-distance commuters are more likely to quit or lose their jobs within the next year.
These results from the HILDA Survey align well with the findings of our research. Our findings suggest longer commutes not only impose physical and mental strains on workers but may also affect their work participation, engagement and productivity.
Negative impacts go beyond work
A growing number of studies have found long-duration commuting can reduce the time a person has for other activities. These other activities, such as physical exercise, time with family, social activities and so on, are important for psychological well-being.
Lengthy commuting also potentially increases exposure to nuisances and hazards such as traffic noise, crowds, congestion, pollution and uncomfortably hot or cold conditions. These can cause physical or emotional distress and have a direct influence on people's physical and mental health.
What can policymakers do about this?
A better balance of jobs and housing within a smaller geographic area could help to shorten commuting distances and time. Planning policy such as polycentric cities – with multiple activity centres – have been proposed in Sydney and Melbourne, and could help achieve this.
Most Australians still rely on their cars for daily commuting. Aside from long travel distance, traffic congestion is another important factor in increasing commuting times. Encouraging alternative travel modes for commuting could potentially relieve congestion.
The HILDA Survey reveals that close to 28% of workers live and work in the same postcode. About 55% of workers live within 10 kilometres of their place of work. This suggests there is huge potential to promote active travel – cycling and walking – for daily commuting trips. Only for a minority (11%) are the postcodes of the home and place of work 30 or more kilometres apart.
High-frequency and reliable rapid public transport networks linking major residential and employment centres could encourage more medium and long-distance commuters to use public transport for daily commuting.
Finally, emerging transport technology, such as autonomous vehicles, is also promising to curb traffic congestion and reduce the "perceived" commuting time, if these vehicles are shared rather than owned by individuals.
Companies also have a role to play in helping to reduce commuting times and their impact on workers' well-being. Flexible working times, which allow employees to avoid peak-hour travel, and a supportive company culture for working from home can help reduce weekly commuting time. In return, companies potentially benefit from improving employee job satisfaction and retention rates.

What i am doing wrong in this PCB drawing?
> What i am doing wrong in this PCB drawing?
Hello, I did last time in the Eagle program 4 years ago. I would like to make a PCB board which is very simple, there will be: LCD display 20x4, I2C converter, RFID reader RC522, Arduino Nano, or future AtMega328. I downloaded various parts that are not given in standard libraries. The LCD display may seem to be a must, however?
I came out of this design (RFID reader I mirrored inverted) grid I set to 1.27mm. Has anyone managed to dismantle, position, or see a problem somehow?
It should only be a single board as a prototype and later I want to replace the Nano for the AtMega328 with an internal oscillator. The principle is just reading a few keys (22pcs) and measuring time (stopwatch).
And I'm going to display it .. I imagine so that the transducer there from the back of the board and display front .. It should work this way, or I would get those I2C pins from the converter pulled on some pins on the PCB and they would go to A4 A5 ..
Re: What i am doing wrong in this PCB drawing?
Is 150mA enough current for the RFID board?
Does it need 3.3V level signals? If yes, add a cd74HC4050 powered with 3.3V to do the conversion.
74AHC125 powered with 5V to buffer the 3.3V signals back to 5V to the processor.
SDA/SCL will need 4.7K pullup resistors.

JIRA and Confluence have taken off here like wildfire. Our users enterprise-wide have made excellent use of these tools.
Performance and Scalability in a large enterprise could be improved.
Not with deployment, but growing pains as fast as we have grown in the last few years with JIRA. We now have 7 different instances of JIRA.
Yes – we wished we would have stayed on the simple path of using the product with fewer add-ons and customization. Most of the complexity is add-ons and customizations that we have chosen to do and likely we have taken some of those too far.
Yes...We would really like to see JIRA scale into 10-100 millions issue range.
Took some getting used to but great!
We switched because we wanted to remove over 3000 Lotus Notes applications. 30-40% of those applications were replaced with JIRA or Confluence.
Atlassian products seem to be very simple and straightforward if you use it simply and stick with what comes with the product. The complexity and complication comes when you introduce add-ons and customizations. The other observation is that Atlassian products seem to be less 'conditioned' for larger enterprises.
The ROI on Atlassian products has been tremendous. It's been well worth the investment!
We chose JIRA/Confluence as they were solutions we can get up and running quickest, and also cheap.
Keep it simple. . . minimize the add-ons and customizations!

I've made Thurlows once. I had such a hell of a time with fit that I probably won't be making them again. (I'm still not happy with the overall fit). I just finished Grainline's Maritime shorts and that pattern is the shizz. I did incorporate the cb extension into the Maritimes. I like that I can let out (or preferrably in) if needed. You reminded me that I have two twills in my stash that I was just wondering what to do with. Shorts it is!
I've considered the Maritime shorts but I'd like something with a lower rise. I'm totally out of fashion, I guess, but I can't stand pants that come near my belly button, much less over it like a high-waisted pant!


It was a strange time in my life. Kind of a "no man's land" between the past and the future. It was the summer between Grade 12 and my first year of university, and I got a job with the Lethbridge Exhibition Board. I saw a lot of things and I am always reminded of them when I think of two songs. Not just any two songs, but two that dominated the "Catch a Rising Star" at the 1987 edition of Whoop-Up Days in Lethbridge.
The summer of 1987 was an odd one, because I spent it doing a bunch of different jobs. It started with my last few weeks at Gergely's Greenhouse, then I spent a week or so painting fences at my friend Dave's place.
After that, I kind of moped around and killed time, hanging out, shooting hoops on an outside court in Coaldale, and basically waiting for summer to end. It would be the end of that phase of life, because I was heading off to university in the fall.
One day, my friend Mat phoned. We had been friends since before school began, riding the school bus together, and living on neighbouring farms. He was going to Lethbridge to apply for a job at Whoop-Up Days. It was the annual fair with a midway and grandstand show, put on I believe by the Lethbridge Exhibition Board. Every summer they hired dozens of workers for the week, mostly as parking attendants, to pick up garbage, and other jobs like that.
When we got to the Exhibition Pavilion, there was a huge line of people just like Mat and I, high school kids looking to make a little cash.
There were forms to fill out, but I didn't even have a resumé. They didn't actually ask for one either. I do remember giving Mr. Ed Ryan, my high school guidance counsellor, and Ida Gergely, my boss at the greenhouse, as references.
Finally, we were at the front of the line, and I got called to sit in front of a man with an English accent who asked me a few basic questions. Had I swept, had I picked up garbage, and so on.
I honestly never went to get a job, as much as to have the experience, and hang out with Mat.
A couple days later I got a call from a fellow named Len from the Lethbridge Exhibition board. He wanted me to start on Monday. I thought that odd, because the fair wasn't for a couple weeks.
It turns out, and I only found this out later, I was hired to replace a guy on the regular crew, not to help out for Whoop-Up Days.
Our coffee room, and kind of base of operations, was underneath the seats in the Exhibition Pavilion. We had lunch and a couple coffee breaks each day. It was, I think part way through the week of Whoop-Up Days, that I heard this familiar sound midway through the afternoon coffee break. We got free pop from one of the cantinas, so I was sipping on a cool fountain Coke on a really hot day, and I heard this song playing.
Back then I listened to a radio station called 1090 CHEC. They had this countdown of the most requested songs every week night. Probably a month earlier, I recall hearing two songs that were really cool, but I had never heard of the bands who played them.
One was called "Please Hold Me" by a band called Credit, and the other was a song called "Fantasy Child" by a band calling itself Barricade. Both songs struck a chord and sat on those nightly charts for weeks.
It turned out they were both local bands from Lethbridge.
Oh that's cool, I thought. Someone found a radio to listen to while we worked. Well, break was over and I had to go through the pavilion.
There, standing on stage in street clothes were a bunch of guys singing "Please Hold Me" and they weren't lip synching. It had to be Credit. I couldn't stay to watch, but I wish I had, because they sounded good.
It turned out they were rehearsing for "Catch a Rising Star" which was sponsored by 1090 CHEC. Barricade was there too.
Because I had to work, and I had some other things going on, I never did see that battle of the bands and I'm not even sure who won.
Still, it was cool to see, even just for a minute, a band I had heard on the radio. It was the first ever piece of live music I had ever heard too.
I'm not sure how much success Credit had beyond those few months in 1987. As I write this, I think they may have won that talent contest, and that may have been their peak.
I was working in Fort Macleod in 2001, and I was previewing a fundraising concert. I was set to interview one of the members of the band, a guy who lived in Fort Macleod named Rob. He was at home that week, so I paid him a visit to interview him at his place. While we were talking, we got on the subject of his musical background.
He starts telling me about this band he was in back in the 1980s, and how they even charted a song on 1090 CHEC. I asked what the song was.
"Fantasy Child," he replies. It turns out, he was part of Barricade.
He laughed and said they even had an old poster still hanging in the place where his current band rehearsed.
So, the night of that fundraising concert, I'm walking back to the office after the concert is finished. It was late and dark, and I see this vehicle slowly driving parallel to me. Suddenly, the window opens and it's Rob.
It was a poster of Barricade.
Fourteen years later, but it was just as cool.
It reminded me of a unique summer in my life, when I had closed one chapter and was about to open another.
Looking at that poster reminds me how cool that last summer was.

The New York Jets added some depth to their receiving corps, as they signed WR Josh Doctson, a former 1st round pick of the Washington Redskins. Doctson, 27, was drafted #22 overall in 2016. He started in 26 games for the Redskins before being released following the 2018 season. Last year he signed a 1-year…
Offense shines on Day 2 but real stuff begins on Saturday
On the final day before the pads come on tomorrow, Sam Darnold got his offense going with several downfield strikes to Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa. Enunwa, who missed five games last season, caught 50 and 40 yard passes and was truly the star of Day 2. On the defensive side CB Brian Poole practiced…
New York Jets looking ahead to 2019
With a record of 4-12, the New York Jets will head into the offseason with a lot of wounds to lick and decisions to be made. It's not the kind of season the Jets fan base expected, but it happened and it's time to start looking towards the future with the future being the 2019…
Jets corral Colts - welcome Vikings on Sunday
It's not often that kickers steal the spotlight but when one breaks a franchise record with seven successful field goals in a game, tongues start wagging. That's exactly what unheralded Jason Myers did last week which contributed mightily to the Jets' 42-34 victory over the Colts. The Marist College product drilled 30, 48, 32, 37,…
Can the Jets realistically challenge the Pats in 2018?
If you ask many NFL analysts, they will tell you that the New England Patriots have all but wrapped up the AFC East, without Tom Brady throwing a football, such is the superiority they have other their divisional rivals. The Bills, Dolphins and the Jets will go up against them once more this season, looking…
Jets release Eric Decker and David Harris
The Jets continued purging their expensive veterans today, as they cut MLB David Harris and WR Eric Decker. Harris' departure is quite a surprise considering that he's been the cornerstone of the Jets defense for 10 seasons. His cap figure of $6.5M, however, along with the Gang Green's direction of getting younger have made him…
Jets place Decker on IR
Things went from bad to worse for the New York Jets earlier today, as they placed starting WR Eric Decker on injured reserve, pretty much ending his season. Decker, who caught 80 passes for 1,027 yards and 12 TDs last season, missed the last two games after getting injured in Week 3 against the Chiefs.…
Jets sign two more draft picks
The New York Jets signed two more of their draft picks, bringing the total up to five. WR Quincy Enunwa (6th round, 209 overall) from Nebraska and DE IK Enemkpali (6th round, 210 overall) from Louisiana Tech both signed 4-year contracts. Enunwa set Nebraska's single season receiving touchdown record with 12 scores, including a 99-yard…
Jets select nine players in last four rounds
Despite having plenty of ammunition to trade up, the New York Jets decided to stay put with their draft selections and picked nine more players on Saturday. In the fourth round the Gang Green selected two wide receivers - WR Jalen Saunders from Oklahoma and WR Shaq Evans from UCLA. The third pick in the…


This time of year is especially hard for me as I've lost four people I deeply care about and were close to during this time frame. Not only did I lose my mother, but I also lost my Grandfather Taylor, Uncle Jimmy, and Aunt Valorie. The pain of their passing still causes my heart to ache, but I find solace in the fact that my life and the lives of so many people who have lived on this earth, have been better because of their influences.
My wonderful aunts made me this bookmark of my Mother holding me the day I was born.
There was a long time following my mother's death where I questioned my faith and rebelled against my Father in Heaven. That time, I was not allowing the wound of loss to heal, but instead I was allowing it to fester. It was only when I turned my heart back to the Lord though heartfelt prayer, that I was able to apply the healing balm of His atonement upon me, healing that wound in my heart. He never abandoned me; He never forgot me. But He couldn't ease my pain and grief until I accepted His help and care.
A couple of my friends, one being practically a sister, have lost parents quite suddenly this month. I know that, although I have experience the pain of unexpected loss, I still cannot fathom what they are going through. We all grieve differently. We all experience loss differntly. One thing is the same though. "When loved ones pass from this side of the veil to the other, they continue to be just as important to us as when they were with us. Because we love them, we can't expect to completely 'get over' losing them." (Steven Eastmond, The Healing Power of Grief) And one thing is for certain, as much as we loved them, they continue to love us. As President Ezra Taft Benson said, "Our loved ones who have passed on are not far from us."
I realized the hard way that, "it is important to remember that we feel a loss at every death. We long for the touch, the sight, the presence of the one we lost, and even a secure knowledge of the plan of salvation doesn't take away the longing." (Clifford J. Stratton, Dealing with Death and Dying) There are no words that can take the pain of losing a loved one away. But that's okay. Grieving is okay and healing. Grief is a process and cannot be rushed. The death of a loved one causes a wound in the heart, and just as a physical wound requires time to heal, so does an emotional wound. Intense grief just shows that we loved that much, and though the loss is painful, having had that love is well worth it. It is okay and necessary to grieve.
I've learned throughout this time that the Atonement isn't just for receiving forgiveness. The Savior's atonement allowed him to bear our sorrow. He is the only one who has experienced our pain. As we begin to heal, we can accept the Atonement in this manner and our sadness can be replaced, little-by-little, with peace.
I keep those who have lost their loved ones in my prayers. I know your pain will ease with time, and I know words offer little, if any peace at this moment. Just know that you are greatly loved by those who passed on and those who are still here. Although losing my mother, grandfather, aunt, and uncle still hurts, the reunion we are promised--that will come--will be a day of great rejoicing. I look forward to that day with much gladness and anticipation.
I was hoping to help give strength to those going through a similar loss. Thanks for your comment.
A beautiful post. When we know where our departed loved ones are and that they are happy, it brings us peace. Yet at the same time, we miss them and want them here with us. We grieve for the loss of them in our earthly lives--and we always will. But we will see them again one day, and it will be a joyous reunion.
I love the quote about grief. This is a beautiful dedication to your Mom. She loved you dearly.
Thank you. Grief is always a difficult topic to write about, but I feel it needs to be said. Too many people, myself included at one time, feel that grieving is shameful. That's not the case and all should realize that grieving is healing.
I was looking for something to share with my friend today as we go to her father's cremation. This post is absolutely wonderful and hopefully you don't mind that I will share it with her. I'm sorry for what you have gone through, but I love what you've learned and shared with us. May you feel His comfort and love and know for a surety that you will see your mother and your loved ones again!
I'm glad that my experience could help bring comfort to someone else. The passing of a loved one is a very difficult thing to have to face.

The Altarpiece in Renaissance Venice
The painting and carving of altarpieces was one of the most important and characteristic tasks of Italian Renaissance artists, yet the altarpiece as an artistic genre has been surprisingly neglected by art historians. This book—the first detailed study of the altarpiece in a major center of Renaissance art—focuses on Venice from 1450 to 1530. Peter Humfrey, an authority on Venetian painting, explores a wide range of issues surrounding altarpieces as an art form. These include the traditions of decoration of Venetian churches, the sacred and secular functions that altarpieces were expected to perform, the market for altarpieces, and the professional world of the Venetian artist. He discusses altarpieces by Bellini, Cima, the three Vivarini, and the young Titian, as well as by numerous other painters and sculptors of the period.
A central theme of the book is the relation between the altarpieces and their original physical and liturgical context. Throughout, Humfrey tries to reintegrate altarpieces with their intended settings, both for the sake of recapturing their full visual effect and as a basis for examining the ideological relationship between their subject matter and the altar table below. He also examines the complex mixture of motives, worldly as well as pious, that prompted fifteenth-century Venetians to spend large sums of money on commissioning altarpieces for the churches of their city. The first part of the book is thematic, dealing with the making, placement, and function of the altarpiece. The second part is a chronological discussion of specific works, focusing on the ways in which the artists met challenges posed by specific commissions. An appendix to the book gives further factual and bibliographical information about one hundred major Venetian altarpieces of the period.

This is a story of family, love, secrets, and truth, written by a daughter about her mother. Alison uses diaries and letters passed on to her after the death of her mother, Molly, to tell the story of her mother's remarkable life. From an early childhood in Hong Kong, escaping bombing during World War Two and working for an outpost of Bletchley Park, Molly had an eventful life. As the years pass, she marries, has children and becomes a maternity nurse. But life begins to take it's toll. Through Molly's own words, Alison finds out how much her mother has kept hidden from the family.
I thought that this was an interesting memoir that was well constructed. Diary entries and letters written and received by Molly are used well throughout the book. I got the impression that Alison learnt a lot about her mother, and that being the case, I can only imagine how difficult this book must have been to write.
It is a moving book to read. Some parts are funny, as you see things through a young Molly's eyes, and others are uncomfortable as Alison recounts her mothers troubles in later life. Molly certainly had a life of ups and downs with plenty of drama and tragedy along the way. Alison tells us about it all with sensitivity and understanding.
You can find Castles in the Air on Amazon.co.uk and also, Amazon.com.
You can also contact Alison through Facebook and Twitter.

Egypt's EgyptSat-A Reconnaissance Satellite Set To Be Launched From Russia In November 2018
An artist's conception of MisrSat-2. Image courtesy of NARSSS.
The EgyptSat-A, also known as MisrSat-A, high-resolution Earth observation satellite is due to be launched by Russia in November 2018, just as the threat to Egypt's borders and unrest in the Sinai Peninsula is becoming more acute.
Egyptian security and military forces are under growing pressure to stop insurgent and terrorist incursions across their extensive borders with Libya, and more recently, with Sudan. Egypt's border with Libya alone is approximately 1,200 kilometres in length and Egyptian forces have had to contend with numerous incidences where terrorists in Libya have crossed the border to supply and join Islamic State-affiliated terrorists in the Sinai Peninsula in the east of Egypt.
"The images will show what is happening on the borders very clearly," said Mahmoud Hussein, chairman of the Egyptian National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences (NARSSS), in an interview with English-language newspaper The Arab Weekly. "This is why these images will be very useful on many counts."
More recently, Egyptian security forces have had to contend with arms, drugs, and human trafficking across its border with Sudan. Utilising the EgyptSat-A high-resolution Earth observation satellite, along with advanced ground-based sensors and aggressive patrolling by security forces, can help mitigate and reduce border incursions and track movements of hostile groups.
"This is a process that requires the utilisation of modern border control equipment," said retired army General Sameh Abu Hashima, also interviewed by The Arab Weekly. "Egypt is in a volatile area and this makes border control a daunting mission."
EgyptSat-A is a dual-use satellite, however, and will also be used by Egyptian authorities for other taskings such as resource management, environmental monitoring, and securing critical infrastructure.
"The satellite has development purposes by locating subterranean water and places that are fit for agriculture," NARSSS' Hussein said. "It will help national agencies better draw up the borders of the various provinces and formulate urban expansion plans."
The main purpose of EgyptSat-A, though, will be to help secure Egypt's borders and assist in dealing with the security situation in the volatile Sinai Peninsula.
"The presence of an advanced reconnaissance satellite will help the security establishment detect such infiltrations easily," said Khaled Okasha, a member of the Supreme Anti-Terrorism Council, an advisory body of the Egyptian presidency, also quoted in The Arab Weekly. "The utilisation of space technology is indispensable if we hope to overcome threats to our security."
EgyptSat-A (MisrSat-A) is Egypt's third Earth observation satellite. The satellite is jointly built by Egypt's National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences together with RSC Energia in Russia and is estimated to have cost about U.S.$100 million. The imaging payload was developed by OAO Peleng and NIRUP Geoinformatsionnye Sistemy in Belarus.
According to reporting in the Egyptian press, and as reported by SpaceWatch.Global, some of the costs of EgyptSat-A's construction and integration has been defrayed by grants provided by the Chinese government.
The satellite is an improved version of EgyptSat-2 (that cost an estimated U.S.$45 million and failed in orbit in 2015) and is also based on RSC Energia's 559GK bus, which inherits technologies from their USP platform. The satellite features SPD-70 electric engines using Xenon gas. It features improved electro-optical and onboard control systems, high-speed on-board radio link, and solar cells with increased efficiency.
The satellite is planned to be launched on 22 November 2018 from Russia's Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and subject to a successful launch and on-orbit systems check, should begin operations in January 2019.

Sold a Single Family home in Coulwood West, Charlotte, NC.
My family and I bless the day we found Marcus Dilley. His honesty and integrity is only outdone by his uncanny knowledge of the real estate markets and the ability to get the near impossible done. I know it sounds like we're related but we're not … wish we were. His connections in the real estate world is beyond helpful to secure 'the deal'.


Over the past summer, I met a kid who is born and bred in Ithaca in my lab. Ah well, I guess making fun of one's hometown isn't exactly the best way to start a conversation. He spent half an hour trying to convince me how incredible the art scene in this tiny little town is, and I finally paid my first visit to the Hangar Theatre last week. It was more than impressive — I cried, just saying.
Alas, I wonder how many awesome productions I missed my freshmen year. Luckily, I got a second chance. Here is a must-see list at some great local performances.
In Cornell's own Schwartz Center for Performing Arts, three daring fall productions await.
Starting Sept. 21 in Kiplinger Theatre, Beth Milles brings to us Bertolt Brecht's The Caucasian Chalk Circle, a parable about kindness, value and the difficulty of assigning justice in chaotic times.
In the Black Box theater, the venomous and savage comedy Bad Jews is opening on Nov. 2. Playwright Joshua Harmon twists the classic Jewish family comedy in crucial ways, setting the stage in a parent-bought Upper West Side apartment with three cousins fighting over religion, morality and of course a family heirloom.
Again playing with a time-honored formula, in Syrian playwright Mamduh Adwan's Hamlet Wakes Up Late, Hamlet becomes a narcissistic prince who is blissfully unaware of the rise of a brutal plutocratic dictatorship. While tackling the past and present of Syria, this biting political satire also seems incredibly timely for contemporary America. Catch this audacious re-imagination of Shakespeare starting Nov. 10 in the Flex.
Off campus, Kitchen Theatre Company is ready to offer a nice mix of seriousness and laughter. Lydia R. Diamond's controversial and fiercely funny Smart People features four "smart" people in D.C. out to save the world from a Western, "racist" mindset — while unaware of their own cultural biases. Go see four "smart" people make a mess of their own lives while trying to comprehend race, identity and human emotions right now.
Brahman/i: A One Hijra Stand-Up Comedy Show is layered conversation of Indian-American cultural identity just happens to take the form of a stand-up comedy routine. Kitchen will be transformed into a comedy club from Oct. 8 to Oct. 29.
If you have not yet been to an immersive theatre, here comes your chance: Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan MacMillan, which opens on Nov. 11 at the Kitchen Theater, shares with its audience members an intimate tale about the lengths we would go for those we love.
Hangar Theatre takes the immersive experience even a step further. On the weekend of Sept. 15, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, based on Charles Dickens' final and unfinished novel, will be left for audiences to solve. Drood won five 1986 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book and Best Score. And yes, it is a musical!
Speaking of Dickens, what is Christmas without A Christmas Carol? Directed by playwright and Cornell visiting professor Aoise Stratford, the timeless tale of hope and redemption runs from Dec. 10 to Christmas Eve. In addition, a series of concerts and the multimedia extravaganza Frank Sinatra Tribute: It Was a Very Good Year fill up the Hangar calendar from mid-October till the end of November.
Last but definitely not the least, the newly renovated Cherry Artspace is opening on Sept. 13 with Mayor Svante Myrick. But even before that, the Cherry is bring back the sold-out 'headphone play' — an immersive theater experience where one wears a pair of headphones to hear a story while walking around — from last year, Storm Country, for three final weekends. Co-written by PMA faculty Nick Salvato and Aoise Stratford, the production is inspired by a 1909 Ithaca-based novel called Tess of the Storm Country and aims to immerse the audience in a world of narration, music and ambient sounds as they travel among the ghosts of the historic West End.
The 75-minute walking tour of about a mile will begin at Lookout Point and culminate at the Cherry Artspace. Stratford points out the "transitory nature of Ithaca" as one of the play's themes in a previous interview. In fact, the Storm Country corner of Ithaca is undergoing significant changes and the production will technically no longer work after this fall. No matter what you're up to this coming weekend (Sept. 9-10), don't miss the last chance to see our beloved town through new ears.
What happens next is What Happens Next, a world premiere multimedia play by Ithaca-based Romanian playwright Saviana Stanescu, which explores the relationship between two women with constantly shifting identities. The opening production will run from Sept. 14 to Sept. 23.
This is a truly great line-up for not only loyal theatre-goers but also people just looking to explore the local art scene. Don't be me last year, I'm begging you.
"Maybe it's a fact we all should face / everyone makes judgments based on race". This lyric, from the musical Avenue Q, was one of the first things that popped into my mind as I walked out of Smart People at the Kitchen Theatre — a play that delves unreservedly into the difficult, yet ever so relevant conversation of race, prejudice and, most importantly, our fear of that conversation itself.

IFAs say the quality of advice given should be the focal issue rather than how they are paid for that advice.
Advisers at the Money Marketing commission round table shared the view that the FSA ought to be looking at quality of advice and the confusion being caused by different adviser titles rather than commission and remuneration models.
Which? says the FSA still has a long way to go before it can claim that consumers are properly protected. It says the FSA has not been transparent enough in tackling consumer detriment.

Nelda Speaks
The public health emergency will continue in Arkansas for another 60 days. The Governor made the request for the extension to the Arkansas Legislative Council this morning.
This afternoon, the House passed several bills, including the following:
HB1237-This bill states that at the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year, a public school district board of directors may elect to implement an alternate school calendar. An alternate school calendar shall consist of at least 1,068 hours of instructional time. Currently, state law requires 178 days of instructional time. This law gives schools more flexibility on a start date and length of a school day.
HB1264-This bill creates the Small Town Economic Development Act. This bill amends the exemptions to the licensing requirements for architects to buildings whose fair market value does not exceed $250,000. The current exemption is for buildings under $100,000.
HB1642-This bill states that a public housing authority shall require compliance by a custodial parent or noncustodial parent as a condition of eligibility for housing benefits and assistance.
SB18-This bill states in cases concerning child custody, there is a rebuttable presumption that joint custody is in the child's best interest.
HB1702-This bill states that a person operating a bicycle upon a crosswalk shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and give an audible signal before overtaking and passing a pedestrian.
HB1671-This bill establishes the Arkansas Student-Athlete Publicity Rights Act. It allows student-athletes in higher education to enter into a contract and receive compensation for the commercial use of the student athlete's name, image, and likeness.
HB1446-This bill allows children of military families to be eligible for succeed scholarship.
SB470-This bill establishes the Online Marketplace Consumer Inform Act. It would require an online market facilitator to collect information, including business name, address, email, and phone number. High volume sellers would be required to have this information accessible to consumers on their website.
The House will convene on Tuesday at 1 pm.

The Hobbit: Flies and Spiders
Text document
[T]he cries of the others got steadily further and fainter, and though after a while it seemed to him they changed to yells and cries for help in the far distance, all noise at last died right away, and he was left alone in complete silence and darkness. That was one of his most miserable moments. But he soon made up his mind that it was no good trying to do anything till day came with some little light, and quite useless to go blundering about tiring himself out with no hope of any breakfast to revive him. So he sat himself down with his back to a tree, and not for the last time fell to thinking of his far-distant hobbit-hole with its beautiful pantries. He was deep in thoughts of bacon and eggs and toast and butter when he felt something touch him. Something like a strong sticky string was against his left hand, and when he tried to move he found that his legs were already wrapped in the same stuff, so that when he got up he fell over.
Then the great spider, who had been busy tying him up while he dozed, came from behind him and came at him. He could only see the things's eyes, but he could feel its hairy legs as it struggled to wind its abominable threads round and round him. It was lucky that he had come to his senses in time. Soon he would not have been able to move at all. As it was, he had a desperate fight before he got free. He beat the creature off with his hands – it was trying to poison him to keep him quiet, as small spiders do to flies – until he remembered his sword and drew it out. Then the spider jumped back, and he had time to cut his legs loose. After that it was his turn to attack. The spider evidently was not used to things that carried such stings at their sides, or it would have hurried away quicker. Bilbo came at it before it could disappear and struck it with his sword right in the eyes. Then it went mad and leaped and danced and flung out its legs in horrible jerks, until he killed it with another stroke; and then he fell down and remembered nothing more for a long while.
There was the usual dim grey light of the forest-day about him when he came to his senses. The spider lay dead beside him, and his sword‑blade was stained black. Somehow the killing of the giant spider, all alone by himself in the dark without the help of the wizard or the dwarves or of anyone else, made a great difference to Mr. Baggins. He felt a different person, and much fiercer and bolder in spite of an empty stomach, as he wiped his sword on the grass and put it back into its sheath.
"I will give you a name," he said to it, "and I shall call you Sting." After that he set out to explore. The forest was grim and silent, but obviously he had first of all to look for his friends, who were not likely to be very far off, unless they had been made prisoners by the elves (or worse things). [...]
He had picked his way stealthily for some distance, when he noticed a place of dense black shadow ahead of him black even for that forest, like a patch of midnight that had never been cleared away. As he drew nearer, he saw that it was made by spider webs one behind and over and tangled with another.
Suddenly he saw, too, that there were spiders huge and horrible sitting in the branches above him, and ring or no ring he trembled with fear lest they should discover him. Standing behind a tree he watched a group of them for some time, and then in the silence and stillness of the wood he realised that these loathsome creatures were speaking one to another. Their voices were a sort of thin creaking and hissing, but he could make out many of the words that they said. They were talking about the dwarves!

SummerSlam packing its bags and moving to the East Coast in 2015
Comments Off on SummerSlam packing its bags and moving to the East Coast in 2015
For six straight years, WWE has held SummerSlam at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, California. But that's all going to change next year as WWE announced during the broadcast yesterday that SummerSlam 2015 is coming to New York and New Jersey.
The reason WWE opted to have SummerSlam in Los Angeles for so many years was because of the Hollywood factor, having a lot of celebrities interact with WWE Superstars during the SummerSlam weekend and related events. However this year WWE scaled back the events and did not hold Axxess and the usual glitz and glamor events that surround the event.
No actual arena or city was mentioned yet where next year's SummerSlam will take place but WWE might do the same thing they did for WrestleMania 29, have some weekend events in New York and then hold the actual pay-per-view in New Jersey.

Q: Can taking into account all observations composing few data points help to mitigate small-sample problems? I conducted a pilot study in which I measured a variable on 20 different days in order to document how time passage affects this variable. I want to plot the uncertainty for each day, but I have a very small, n = 6, sample. I have been told how pointless it is to make estimates from such a small sample, but I only want to take this as an exploratory non-definitive, however thorough, analysis of my data. Actually, each of the six data points that I have per day represents a summary statistic (i.e., median) of 16 observations collected daily per subject. My question is: if I take into account that each data point is constituted by several observations, Is it possible to add somehow weight or certainty to each data point (so that I might make estimates of the group more reliably)? Can you guide me to a method to do so? Or, else, is it exactly the same as if each data point was constituted by a single observation? I will be very grateful of any answer you provide.

A: Plot the twenty X medians against time (days); connect the points with line segments.
On the same axes, do the same for the twenty Y medians. If the segmented line for the X's lies (mainly) above the segmented line for the Y's, or if the two lines show
clearly different trends, then maybe you have a graph that makes your main point
without further embellishment. You can explain any anomalies by saying that each point is the median of six observations and thus subject to error. That is my recommendation. (I guess that means I think the answer to the question in the title is No--especially if "mitigate" means "hide.")
If you insist on some sort of vertical error bars around each median, then
you are going to have a more cluttered graph no matter what scheme you use to
get the error bars.
However, it does not seem completely impossible to give somewhat informative
error bars based on only six X-observations (or Y-observations) each day.
Anyhow, that is the impression I got from the bit of data you showed (Day 12).
sort(x); summary(x)
[1] 2.17 2.90 3.40 3.50 3.90 4.30
   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.
  2.170   3.025   3.450   3.362   3.800   4.300

The Wilcoxon one-sample signed rank test can give a 95% confidence interval (CI)
for the median: In R, wilcox.test(x, conf.int=T) returns (among other results)
the CI $(2.17, 4.30).$
sort(y); summary(y)
[1] 0.80 0.81 1.10 1.50 1.90 2.80
   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.
 0.8000  0.8825  1.3000  1.4850  1.8000  2.8000

The Wilcoxon interval is $(0.8, 2.8).$
So you might use Wilcoxon CIs as error bars. This would require an explanation
that each CI carries 95% confidence, so one has less than 95% confidence in
conclusions reached looking at more than one CI. Roughly, you might have
about 90% confidence comparing the two CIs for any one day. And there are
likely to be many days for which the two CIs overlap--as they do for Day 12.
In the Day 12 data, I see no strong evidence that the data are not normal. Presumably, you used medians instead of means because you have some data for
other days that 'misbehave'. If data were normal, then you could use t CIs.
on Day 12, these are approximately $(0.7, 2.5)$ for Y and $(2.6, 4.2)$ for X (no overlap). The same precautions about drawing conclusions from comparisons of
two or more CIs hold here.
Another possible scheme might be to show bars for each median that go from Q1 to Q3. For X on Day 12 this would be $(3.0, 3.8)$ and for Y $(.9, 1.8).$
You would have to stress that such bars are only a rough indication of variability and not confidence intervals. Perhaps these error bars would
have a less "saturated" appearance. (Perhaps they might be misleading.)
One can always hope for less variation in measurements. But if you ever get it, that comes from
taking more observations or from using less-variable methods, not from "fudging"
the report at the end. So if you are going to use some sort of error bars, you will have to take care to explain how you got them and what they really mean.
I know error bars are very popular. But I have to say that, whether by design or happenstance, most of the error bars
I have seen around measurements on graphs (in papers on psychology, education, environmental science, physics, etc.) give a false impression of variability.

Trail Smoke Eaters Shake Up Roster:
The Trail Smoke Eaters shook up their core on Thursday, sending D Rajan Sidhu (91) to the Drumheller Dragons of the AJHL for G James D'Andrea (92) and future considerations.
The deal comes a day after Sidhu scored the winning goal as the Smokies upset the first place Penticton Vees.
The BCHL website is yet to post the trade, but Trail has posted it on its website.
Here's how the deal shakes down:

With the acquisition of D'Andrea, it meant that something had to give between the pipes for the Smoke Eaters, and they relieved their glut of goaltenders by swinging another big trade with Alberni Valley.
F Taylor House (92)
D Marley Keca (93)
D Tanner Hicks (93)
To Alberni Valley Bulldogs:
G Matt Larose (92)
D Daniel Del Bianco (94)
D Eric Walker (93)
Here's the official release from Trail's website:
TRAIL, BC — The Trail Smoke Eaters have completed a pair of trades involving a total of seven players today.
The Smoke Eaters have acquired goaltender James D'Andrea (92) from the AJHL's Drumheller Dragons in exchange for defenseman Rajan Sidhu (91).
"He was a goaltender we've had our eye on for a couple of weeks," stated Smoke Eaters head coach/general manager Bill Birks, "we're excited to bring him in to our program."
The Smoke Eaters also made a five-player transaction with the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, acquiring defensemen Marley Keca (93) and Tanner Hicks (92) as well as forward Taylor House (92).
In exchange, the Bulldogs receive goaltender Matt Larose (92) and defenseman Daniel DelBianco (94).
"We've acquired two defensemen who can fit into our top four," Birks said, "and House has the skill to be in our top two forward lines."
D'Andrea, a native of Calgary, Alberta, compiled an 11-20-4 record with a 4.11 GAA in 42 AJHL appearances with the Dragons and Calgary Canucks.
Hicks, a fellow Calgarian, scored 13 points in 26 games with Alberni Valley last season, and has also played in the AJHL with Olds.
Keca, a 6-1 defenseman from Kelowna, is entering his second full BCHL season, having scored 17 points in 65 appearances with Alberni Valley and Quesnel.
House, from Cochrane, Alberta, was a member of the 2011 KIJHL champion Osoyoos Coyotes, where he finished third on the team in scoring with 19 goals and 62 points.
The Smoke Eaters would like to welcome D'Andrea, Hicks, Keca and House to the organization, and thank Sidhu, DelBianco and Larose for their contributions in Trail during their time as Smoke Eaters.

And let's not forget the parodies by Looney Tunes of Fantasia and its conductor Leopold Stokowski, including this 1949 cartoon of Bugs Bunny as "Leopold". Here's a clip:
There was also a 1943 cartoon called "A Corny Concerto" that's amusing.
The real Leopold was still conducting (seemingly masterfully) at the age of 90 in 1972, here conducing the Bach Toccata and Fugue made even more famous by Fantasia:

I think the longer intros served a function in 1940 that's no longer needed today. Nobody had ever seen anything like Fantasia and Disney was understandably concerned that the audience might need extra context for what they were going to see. And Taylor was such a popular public figure that more of him would have been seen as a plus at the time.
I still hold on to my VHS version in addition to the DVD and Blu-ray. And I saw an IB Tech 35mm print of the shortened version a couple years ago that was very enjoyable.
Hey Josh - How was the sound when you saw the 35mm print? Was it multi-track?

I think it was just a mono optical track of memory serves. It wasn't a 1940 original print. I think they stated that it was likely from the 1960s but that the documentation was fuzzy on that point.

Since all of Disney's animated movies are going to be withdrawn soon from Netflix, I've been watching what's on Netflix before they vanish. One of the ones I some only a little of back in the day was the direct-to-video movie Kronk's New Groove, which came out in 2005, just about the time hand-drawn animation was going the way of the dinosaur at Disney. Anyway, this sequel to The Emperor's New Groove from the year 2000 was I think actually pretty good. The first direct-to-video sequels from Disney were maybe for Aladdin? Anyway, I tried to watch two of those back in the 1990s and they were dreadful, with poor quality animation, weak stories, and mostly cringe-worthy songs. But Kronk's New Groove had surprisingly detailed hand-drawn animation, some genuinely funny (for me) jokes, an interesting enough story, and some good music. I still haven't seen more than a couple of minutes of the Mulan II, Tarzan II, Notre Dame II, etc. movies. Are any of them even sort of ok in a direct-to-video way? I mean now that hand drawn animation from Disney has been gone for ten full years, I'm willing to maybe try watching a few more of these.
Does anyone else halfway like Kronk's New Groove, or am I crazy?

It's been a long time since I've seen any of the Direct-to-Video sequels (some I have never seen l, period), though if I had to give any advice on these films based on vague memories, my advice would be to stay as far away from the Hunchback sequel as possible, it has terrible animation (possibly on par with the Aladdin sequels) and none of the emotion that made the original so good.

I saw an original road-show presentation of Fantasia at LACMA back in the early 80's. They recreated the speaker setup for the multi-track sound and the original narration was present. It's long enough ago that I don't remember too many details, but I do remember being mighty impressed. I had the framed poster of that movie series on my wall for years, probably still have it around somewhere.
Message #29 of 74 May 26, 2019
Well, I'm afraid I'm not always going in order with this, but....
The animated Disney movie for me today was The Hunchback of Notre Dame, released in 1996. Although for me the songs for this one aren't always my favorites, the animation is really outstanding throughout—and sometimes it's stunning. This is the best animation since Pinocchio, I think, in terms of the details and care that they put into it. With a production budget of about $100 million dollars Hunchback was the most expensive animated ever made up to that point (although soon to be passed by Tarzan), and it certainly shows. The audio commentary with the directors is also informative and sometimes amusing. I'm watching it for the second time now with that on. Because I've watched this one less often any other Disney film from the 1990s, there are parts of this that I've almost felt like I was watching for the first time. The serious spirit of Victor Hugo's original novel is maintained, which I can appreciate more now even though at the time it came out I think somehow I wanted something lighter. Anyway, I recommend this for fans of 1st class Disney animation, since it has really beautiful and impressive character animation, effects animation, multi-plane stuff, etc. Strong voice actors in all the roles.
Finally, given the recent fire at Notre-Dame de Paris, seeing this meticulous recreation of most of the details of this amazing cathedral in animation is impressive. The building becomes a character....
holtge, Sam Favate and Jake Lipson like this.
Even with the fantastic animation, and the powerful exploration of some serious ideas, my overall rating on The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a B+. We were so spoiled by the wonderfully witty songs from the Howard Ashman era of the Disney Renaissance that most of the songs after can't live up to that. But really the 1990s was a golden era for great animated films from Disney. My personal ratings on the Disney Renaissance films....
The Little Mermaid: A
Beauty and the Beast: A+
Aladdin: A+
The Lion King: A
Pocahontas: A-
The Hunchback of Notre Dame: B+
Hercules: B+
Mulan: A+
Tarzan: A
Fantasia 2000: A
(I really like Fantasia 2000, and although I realize some put it in the post Renaissance era, to me it's the last Renaissance film.)
It was really puzzling and traumatic how quickly Disney's hand-drawn animation fell, from towering success artistically and at the box office with Tarzan in 1999, to the end of almost all hand-drawn animation just five years later. I still like all of the post-Renaissance films, but I've seen them much less often than the others. My ratings are probably too generous, but since we aren't ever likely to have another hand-drawn animated movie from Disney I do appreciate that we have these....
The Emperor's New Groove: B
I still wish they'd stayed with the more serious Kingdom of the Sun film that they started with, but this one still has some good moments, good laughs, and good animation.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire: B
I'm still puzzled by this one. I'm not quite sure what to think about it. But it's a good adventure movie with some very nice animation. I haven't seen it for about ten years, and maybe more.
Lilo and Stitch: B+
This one is beautifully done, touching, and funny, and yet for some reason I don't have a big desire to rewatch it. The little Elvis scene is a bit annoying to me.
Treasure Planet: A-
What? Crazy. But amazing animation, including some that's among the best done by Disney. A colossal box office bomb that helped kill hand-drawn animation. Even though I really like this movie, which stays true to the spirit of the original novel even with the outer space setting, my blu-ray still remains sealed nine years after I got it. I need to crack this one open and try it again.
Brother Bear: B
I need to rewatch this one, since I barely remember it. But I don't own it on blu-ray, and so I may need to wait for Disney+ to launch for a rewatch.
Home on the Range: B
The Princess and the Frog: A-
I need to rewatch this one too. My blu-ray remains sealed nine years after I got it. My daughter was traumatized by the death of the firefly character and cried on the couch after we got back from the theater in 2009. This one was a moderate hit, making it puzzling that after bringing back hand-drawn animation for this movie Disney killed it yet again.

Enjoyed reading your opinions, Ben, as always, and keep them coming. For me, I liked Mulan less than Hercules, for example, or The Emperor's New Groove (but not much less). I reviewed most of these when they were released on Blu-ray, so folks can search to see what I thought in detail. I was very sad that Hunchback did not find favor with the moviegoing public. I really liked it a lot.
But the bottom line is that they all offer various degrees of real pleasure.

Here's Matt Hough's review of The Hunchback of Notre Dame....
https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/the-hunchback-of-notre-dame-2-movie-collection-blu-ray-review.321830/#post-3933543
"....Never will you see an animated movie with more intricate animation in it. Virtually every person in the foreground and background shows movement. Confetti that flies through the air from all directions lands visibly on the ground and piles up, and blistering snow does likewise. In fact, so real is the animation throughout that at times one forgets he's watching an animated film. Aerial views of Paris astound, and Quasimodo's journeys through the labyrinthine bell towers surpass the bell tower finale of The Great Mouse Detective. Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz who had won dual Oscars for song and score for their last venture together Pocahontas deliver a quasi-operetta score here, and while none of the songs took on a life outside the movie, they're stupendously used to advance plot ("The Bells of Notre Dame" gets exposition out of the way brilliantly to start the movie)...."
Well said!++
(PS I am actually teaching a summer school class on Animated Film that starts tomorrow. And so for prep I've been buying up books and blu-rays. In the unlikely event anyone wants to see what I looked like in a tie c. 5 years ago....https://louisville.edu/art/faculty/benjamin-hufbauer-ph.d. Anyway, we'll be watching parts of Snow White and talking about Disney's multi-plane set up, character animation, and in-betweeners etc. in the first class. But the first full movie we'll be watching and analyzing starting in the second class is Pinocchio. And Hunchback, as mentioned, is maybe the first Disney movie since the 1940s to have animation that competes with that early Disney era in terms of detail.)

It's silly, I suppose, but the liberties Disney took with the Hercules story bothered me a bit. Over in the Ready Player One thread Josh is still unhappy with how Spielberg and his writers altered the source material there. Since I haven't read the Ready Player One novel that doesn't bother me, but somehow with Hercules it does sometimes.
Mulan takes liberties as well, of course, but to me it's almost like an animated movie done by David Lean in terms of its grandeur and spectacle. Plus it's a feminist film in a field that for decades had some issues in that area. Imho Mulan's songs are also witty, emotional, and wonderful. There are many aspects of Chinese culture that Mulan gets right—the importance of ancestors, the tea ceremony, family honor, and even an homage to the style of Chinese painting. I have a colleague from China who absolutely loves Mulan for these reasons.
In terms of character animation, I'd like to mention a book I've just discovered by animator Andreas Deja, who, among other things, was the brilliant chief animator for Jafar on Aladdin. Amazing animation for Jafar in Aladdin!! I can't say enough. But Deja's book is called, "The Nine Old Men: Lessons, Techniques, and Inspiration from Disney's Great Animators." I've just started it, but it seems like a good book from someone who is a giant himself in animation.

I always liked Hunchback. I thought it was the best of their latter 90s films, and I'd actually put it up there with Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. I was disappointed it didn't get the respect it deserves. I think part of it was Disney fatigue. Disney had a major summer animated release every year at that point for several years.
I don't have time enough to watch all these DVDs!
The opening is a good example of the amazing animation found throughout Hunchback. Notice how the eyes of a sculpture open in the lightning at a key moment.
I love the Hunchback of Notre Dame. For me, the moment where Esmeralda helps Quasimodo on the turntable is one of the most powerful in the whole Disney animation canon. But the movie had definite tone shift problems. I wish the animators had just made an adult animation tale and left out the flipping gargoyles.
Brent Reid, BobO'Link and benbess like this.
Although they are sometimes a bit much, imho the gargoyles become poignant as we realize that they are all in Quasi's mind. His back has a hunch, and his mind has almost some kind of multiple personality syndrome—or maybe it's just a really vivid imagination.

I always find it interesting to see the Renaissance, and those who discuss it, consider the entire string of 90s films. I suppose because they're all hand-drawn and from the same 10-year period? I don't know. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but for me it ended with Lion King. Certainly the Ashman films are in their own category, with Lion King running on enough fumes to put it over.
So I guess I'd place them like so. Real Renaissance: The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin. Each by themselves: The Lion King, Pocahontas. And the rest: Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Mulan, Tarzan.
Ranking all of them is tough since I'm less familiar with The Rest, but of the trilogy the best one, critically and artistically, is certainly Beauty and the Beast. I'm partial to Mermaid because that was the first one, and to this day maintains a homemade feel the others don't have (I remember seeing Beast in the theater and thinking, as soon as the opening number began, that Disney had already "corporatized" the fairytale revival process. Even though I was probably too young to actually use that word). I also know many are partial to Aladdin. But Beast was really the pinnacle.

I've been watching some of the classic Betty Boop cartoons. Fluid animation, and some marvelous 3D effects.
