So, lets take some time to look into how each one of these works, what are their configurations and what could be the benefit of using one above the other.
Quick Note: unfortunately, wordpress kept eating the back slashes in this entry… sorry!
One of the biggest reasons to use Eclipse PDT's built in 'run as…' option would be for local debugging (and also possibly remote debugging for one of the options…). However, we're going to skip past this feature (I will be writing more on it a different posting), and just examine the PHP script's behavior. I want to know how the script responds and what environment/information I have available. And of course - we want to make sure that we're going to be using a predictable interpreter for our PHP - no testing will make sense if its a different interpreter than we plan to run it with.
Well, I've created a quick PHP script to test what information I may have available to me. First off, its output is printed, which will echo the output to the webpage or the console equally. However, whereas the webpage will interpret the tag correctly and make a line break, the console won't… and will require a new line (\n). As I'm not entirely certain yet if I'll have the chance to 'view source' these documents (which would render \n's in a predictable fashion), I'm going to use both line break types.
The first thing I'm going to check is the php sapi version. This will give me a heads up on how the PHP is being ran - either as a module from apache or as a command line script.
The last thing I'm checking is the php version.
Nice and simple and sweet.
string(90) "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.5) Gecko/20070713 Firefox/2.0.0.5"
string(327) "**EDITED: full path specifics here **"
string(6) "**EDITED: Computer name was correct**"
string(327) "**EDITED: Correct path **"
string(46) "x86 Family 6 Model 13 Stepping 8, GenuineIntel"
Ok - great. Now we have our standard info. Lets move on to Eclipse's interface.
First off, its a good thing to know that I have the Zend Debugger installed for Eclipse PDT. It could be possible to use PDT without it - although I don't know why you would.
At any rate, I went to the Run As menu option, right clicked on the PHP Script item and choose New. I named it "Eclipse's PHP" because I noticed the first configuration option, the PHP Binary. By default, the script is running off of a PHP binary that is included with eclipse. There is an option to choose an alternative binary below. Finally, I had to choose my PHP script from my open project.
string(48) "C:\Documents and Settings\Aaron\Application Data"
string(6) "**Edit: Correct computer name**"
string(8) "**Edit: correct LOGON Server**"
string(6) "**EDIT: Proper computer name**"
string(8) "**Edit: Proper logon server**"
Sure enough, everything from 'web browser output' echoed to the console.
Interesting… well I wasn't totally sold yet… so lets throw a display_errors = true)in there.
Lets experiment with the other binaries option. When selecting this option, I had two binaries to choose from… the PHP5 one and the PHP4 one I just mentioned. To test, I ran the script with the PHP4 binary chosen - and it executed exactly the same / as expected, but displayed a different php version (4.4… duh!). Finally, I went to the 'installed php executables' button and added my own binary into the list. I ran the script with my binary - and nothing happened! I have a sneaking suspicion that this has to do with the lack of the zend_debugger being installed on my default PHP binary and ini file.
I moved my ZendDebug.dll file from the eclipse to my standard installation… added the line to my php.ini - and then I was able to get the console to appear as well as the browser output. Because my php.ini file has error display on, I was able to see my php error in the browser output as well… I'm still a little bit confused why this didn't work… anyway, moving on.
Run as a php script is an ok way to test run a command line based PHP script from eclipse. The console coupled with the browser output (although confusingly not the same as a real console output) is helpful. I find the biggest drawback the browser output option. I'd have liked to see all of the output in the console instead. Its also important to remember that - in order to take advantage of this functionality in PDT - you must have the zenddebugger active for your php binary. Another drawback is having to set up an individual configuration for each script you'd like to run. You can, however, right click on a script in your project and run it - but it automatically creates a new configuration for that script then. Also, it automatically checks the 'run with debug info' which is more of a console emulation output than anything else. I think this is more confusing to display because you're not using 'debug as' - you're using run as - and three different views open up.
Ok, so I cheated and ran a few failed tests first… so lets just save our time and make these changes to our test file out of good faith.
First, I made a new file in the same directory called phpinfo.php and put a simple phpinfo function call in it. I then modified my index.php to have a link to the new phpinfo.php file at the bottom.
Lets make our new configuration. Open up the run dialog again. Right click on the php webpage option and choose new.
The first drop down is the server. If you have servers set up, use the one that will work best for you. I hadn't had any set up so it was set to default web server. I clicked the configure button to make sure - and it was pointed to http://locahost which is fine for this exercise.
The next two options deal with the file to run and the URL. First, select your file from your project - I selected my index.php file. Unfortunately, the auto-generated link at the bottom wasn't correct. My project is not my htdocs root - so I had an extra folder in there. So, I had to uncheck the autogenerate URL button - and change the URL to match what it should be (in this case: http://localhost/runas/index.php).
The advanced tab had the 'Open in Browser' option checked. Leave this checked (if you don't, all you get is the debug output view, and its not really that useful). Finally, lets run it.
The debug view opened up - with no output for our current script… even with the error… A new tab opened with the browser output for this script. It even displayed the error at the bottom - matter of fact, it was the same info as my control execution of this script (which is to be expected). Interesting note, when I re-instated the zenddebugger in my server's php, the behavior was similar to that of the script that I mentioned above - the console, debug and browser outputs opened. This is in addition to the new tab which I had just opened with the current view in. Talk about overkill!!!
So far, I've determined that this is probably a very useful way to run PHP off of my local development web server. It is important to note that eclipse is not running the webserver, its being ran and just hooked onto and brought into eclipse's view.
One thing I've noticed, however, is these 'Run As' commands are kind of duplicates of the Debug As menu items. They are appearing to act the same way - just they don't change the perspective you're using in eclipse. I guess we'll discover more about this when I test out the debugging features of eclipse.
I was a little bit confused on what we'd use this for anyway… but I wanted to test it out. I'm going to skimp on the setup for this one - as its pretty pointless. At any rate, I tested out all of the configuration options to find out it does just what it says… it allows a script to be ran in the web browser. It opens up the web browser and pumps the file into it. Depending on if you choose a default base URL to start from, it may serve the page. When configured correctly, all it is is a shortcut to open a file as if you had surfed to it. Its not really worth the time to set up.
Well, I'm going to focus on our first two options only - the web browser one is kind of a waste. We know that the run-as type functions are not really useful if that particular binary of php doesn't have the zenddebugger loaded. You might as well just run it by surfing to it externally or executing it on the command line (actually, without the zend debugger, it may look like your script didn't even execute!). When the zend debugger is loaded with that particular binary, the run-as commands seem very similar to the debug as commands. They open up the console or the debug console, show errors in the console whether display errors is on or not, etc. The downside of the run-as for command line scripts is the browser output isn't exactly what the standard output would see - so this could confuse the inexperienced.
Overall, I don't see much of a benefit to use the run-as commands. If I'd need the debugging information they provided, I'm certain that I'd be using the debug - as commands anyway. I'm perfectly capable of surfing to my local web server and running my command line scripts by hand to see what they would look like.

With Respect To The Check Set
The place does the virtual economy meet the actual-world one? The time-variation of a DR load's sort is one of the most crucial points that makes the design of demand response markets a difficult activity, particularly when the varieties are non-public knowledge of the loads and they behave strategically. The prediction of financial markets is a difficult but important job. The 1971 Chevrolet Malibu was counted as a collection throughout the 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle mannequin line, while Chevelle additionally supplied four station wagons in Nomad, Greenbrier, Concours, and elegant Concours Estate trim. Chevelle station wagons came in three levels: Concours, Nomad, and Greenbrier — the last a badge formerly used on the boxy Corvair van. Later in the model 12 months came a fundamental 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle, basically a revival of the previous 300 Deluxe; it was offered only as a Sport Coupe and sedan. The 1970 Chevrolet Malibu got here in a wide range of versions: Sport Coupe, Sport Sedan, convertible, and 4-door sedan — along with a pair of Super Sport upgrades. The Tremendous Sport group included a 265- or 325-horsepower 396-cubic-inch V-eight beneath a double-domed hood, together with a black-out grille displaying an SS emblem, black rear panel, and crimson-stripe tires on chrome sport wheels.
An SS 396 Chevelle included a 350-horsepower Turbo-Jet "396" V-8, particular suspension, "energy dome" hood, black-accented grille, resilient rear-bumper insert, and huge-oval tires on sport wheels. Fewer than seven % of Malibus had a six-cylinder engine, while more than 86,000 bought an SS 396 possibility. The truth is, the only mannequin supplied to start the mannequin year were Malibus. Malibu hardtop sedan model. With a semi-fastback roofline that employed arched door frames and a big rear-quarter window the 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle and Malibu models appeared significantly completely different from prior variations, and the long-lived pillarless hardtop coupe body type was gone. That meant not only a convertible or hardtop Sport Coupe, however even the pillared coupe in the decrease-rent 300 Deluxe collection. The 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle and Chevrolet Malibu collection featured Normal Motors' all-new midsize -automobile "Colonnade" styling. Base versions of the 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle and Chevrolet Malibu series have been once more known as Chevelles and included a four-model wagon sequence.
With that V-8, a Malibu Sport Coupe, the top vendor by far within the 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle and Chevrolet Malibu series, began at $2,923. The 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle and Malibu lineup continued to draw the eye of muscle-car fans in addition to families who did not really need the extra bulk of a big Chevy. The Chevrolet Chevelle lineup slimmed down to two collection: 300 Deluxe and Malibu. Because SS models suffered heavy insurance surcharges, Chevrolet determined to subject a brand new "Heavy Chevy" at midyear. It appeared like a muscle car, but was accessible with any V-eight engine except the 454, which was unique to SS fashions. Immodestly billed as "America's most popular mid-measurement automotive," the Chevrolet Chevelle and Malibu confirmed solely minor changes for 1969, led by more rounded front-finish styling. As the mid-dimension monsters called muscle vehicles gained in recognition as the Sixties wore on, Chevelle made some extent not to be disregarded of the high-horsepower enjoyable.
By the 1970s, California vehicles usually had different powertrains than those marketed in states with less-stringent emissions regulations. Americans clearly still liked their large cars. With a podcast, you enable people to multitask whereas still listening to about your new products or reviews. Most individuals I do know are paid by direct deposit –or no less than a verify — and just about every store and repair accepts credit playing cards.

'VIP culture' could be blamed for Vaishno Devi tragedy? Eyewitness makes shocking revelation
Those injured in the incident are said to be stable.
Author : Shagun
In an awful start to 2022, as many as twelve people were killed and 15 injured on Saturday in a stampede at the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district. According to the latest reports, negligence by security officials to clear the way for a VIP led to the tragic incident. A high-level probe has been ordered in the matter.
Earlier, we had reported that "an argument broke out among some young boys near gate number three outside the sanctum sanctorum of the shrine, which led to people pushing each other. Consequently, a stampede occurred."
However, now the latest report from leading Hindi daily Dainik Bhaskar claims that the stampede occurred as security officials positioned at the shrine started threatening and forcing people to clear the way for a VIP person.
Talking to an eyewitness, the media outlet reported that the incident occurred at around 2:45 am on January 1, 2022. "After paying respect at the shrine, I was returning from gate number three. The pavement, however, was clogged with people, leaving no room for movement. Meanwhile, the officials who were in charge of the arrangements acted very irresponsibly," the eyewitness was quoted saying.
"Instead of slowly moving the crowd, they began intimidating people with sticks. They were heard saying that a VIP was coming and that they needed to clear the way as soon as possible. People began pushing each other out of fear. During this, some people fell on the floor and passed out," he claimed.
This information has not been confirmed or investigated by True Scoop.

In the meantime, temple officials report that a stampede erupted when a huge number of devotees entered the Mata Vaishno Devi Bhawan without permission slips to celebrate the new year.
"One group coming from the opposite direction wanted to make a U-turn to re-enter the shrine, which ended in a skirmish and triggered the stampede," according to sources.
Furthermore, of 15 injured people who were rushed to the Devi Narayana Superspeciality Hospital after the incident, 4 were admitted to ICU and 11 people were stable (out of which 3-4 people were discharged). "Around 5 are still under treatment," said Dr JP Singh, Neurosurgeon at the Hospital.
Dheeraj Kumar (26), Shweta Singh (34), Viney Kumar (24), Sonu Pandey (24), Mamata(38), Dharmveer Singh(35), Vaneet Kumar (38) and 30-year-old Arun Partap Singh are among those killed in the incident.

Cincinnati Art Museum Program Allows Thousands of CPS Students to Engage with Art
Thanks to the passion of a Cincinnati community volunteer every fourth-grade student in the Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) district will soon visit the Cincinnati Art Museum once per year. This program ensures that about 3,000 children in the region have access to multiple arts opportunities.
Florence (Flo) Koetters, a former Cincinnati Art Museum docent and active community volunteer and donor, collaborated with the Cincinnati Art Museum's Learning & Interpretation division to create this program to provide yearly museum tours and art-making experiences for CPS students.
The program begins January 4, 2021 and will continue each school year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the first year will include a virtual field trip experience, which will guide students through Cincinnati Art Museum's Cincinnati Wing, a uniquely local part of the permanent collection and the first permanent display of a city's art history in the nation.
To accommodate students learning from home, museum staff will provide supplies for art-making projects for each student. The curriculum for this project connects the fourth-grade unit of study on Ohio history, the museum's Cincinnati Wing, and artmaking inspired by Rookwood Pottery, a living piece of local history.
"I love the museum and wanted to do my part to help engage these young minds and help them understand the wonders and history of our community. Exploring the Cincinnati Wing with docents will provide a critical view of what made Cincinnati so famous for its industry, education, and the arts. And the hands-on art projects associated with these tours will bring their experience to life," said Koetters.
The Cincinnati Art Museum and CPS have a long history. Since the early 1920s, the museum has provided school tours of its collection and special exhibitions to students attending the district's schools. The museum's Docent Corps formed in 1960 to provide school tours for CPS fourth graders in world history.
"The Cincinnati Art Museum and the Cincinnati Public Schools have always been great partners. It has always been a joy to engage with CPS teachers and students. Through this generous gift, we are breaking down barriers and engaging with the next generation of art lovers and patrons," said Emily Holtrop, Cincinnati Art Museum's Director of Learning & Interpretation.
To coordinate the program, the Cincinnati Art Museum has hired Alexa Ramirez, a Cincinnatian who graduated from the DAAP School of Art at the University of Cincinnati. A multidisciplinary artist, she previously worked in education at the Contemporary Arts Center.

Many small businesses love Google's self-serve Adwords programme. Just sign up, create an ad, choose some keywords or let Google choose them for you, get traffic, pay the invoice.
That's all nice and simple but there are a few things you could be doing to make sure you're getting the maximum juice from the squeeze.
Google wants you to get some traffic, Google even provide you with tools to measure that traffic optimally. They even push you to do the most you can with the traffic you're paying for, but the last thing Google are going to do is voluntarily reduce the amount of revenue they make.
Landing Pages are REALLY important. Seriously, so important that I'm going to say it again. REALLY IMPORTANT. Got it? Good, let's move on.
Well done. Gold star. Bringing the user to anywhere that creates a disconnect between what they searched on and what is on the page is a bad idea for two reasons.
1) Google checks the quality of your landing page – that thing it does with the animated abacus when you enter your destination URL? It's checking two things – one, that your destination URL exists and two – what's on it. It also re-checks periodically in case you've changed it. Google uses the content of your landing page, and the behaviour of people who have clicked on your ad to determine a quality score. A higher quality score equals a lower cost per click.
2) Users don't like having to work out where to go to find the information you were promising them. You have mere seconds to impress a visitor.
Imagine you're at a market. You hear a stallholder shouting 'lovely golden delicious apples, get 'em here, two euros a kilo'. You're shopping for apples anyway so you go over to his stall, except he's gone, and you can't see the apples. Do you stick around, or go to another seller? Now why would you want to do exactly that to someone on the web?
Sure, it takes time, and sometimes money, to craft landing pages for every ad you want to run on Adwords but if you don't do everything you can to get every click to convert, you're wasting your money, and you end up chalking your Adwords spend down as some kind of Google Tax, where it's your way of paying them for all that organic traffic they bring you.
For some quality tips on landing page design, read this from SEOmoz. If you're having problems optimising your pay-per-click strategy, get in touch and I'll let you know how I can help.

One of the best parts about the holiday season is the lights. Christmas lights tend to make people forget about the cold and look forward to early sunsets, especially in the Chicago area. Chicago has some of the best Christmas light displays in the country with displays even staying up until after Santa's trip around the world. Below you can see our Continental Mitsubishi picks for the top Christmas light displays in the area.
This year marks the 16th annual Winter WonderFest at Navy Pier and it's shaping up to be the best yet. The event is Chicago's largest indoor winter festival with an indoor ice-skating rink, Ferris wheel, carousel, inflatable slides and thousands of twinkling Christmas lights.
Go on a safari of Christmas lights at one of Chicagoland's biggest light festivals of the season. The Brookfield Zoo features more than 1 million LED lights throughout the 216-acre zoo with scenes of animals and Christmas.

Wouldn't an unconditional basic income lead to an inflation that negates its effect? [duplicate]
Will a Guaranteed minimum income not eventually just be crowded out by inflation? (1 answer)
There are several version and denomination for a basic income. In this question, I will call unconditional basic income the situation were all citizens of a country receive regularly a lump-sum of money, independently of their age, their employment status and job,etc. I will assume that, at the moment the basic income is instituted, it is larger than the poverty threshold. I am also assuming that the basic income is not a substitute of other welfare subsidies.
The concept is gaining popularity these days, and for many reasons, economical or philosophical.
My understanding of offer and demand is that, if people can pay more for a product and are willing to do so, then prices will increase. So, it seems that, after the introduction of the basic income, there will be mechanically a large inflation. In a short time, people with no job and that relied mostly on the welfare system will be poor again. Worse, people with low income will be closer to the new poverty threshold.
1) What natural mechanical effects prevent an over-inflation after the introduction of a substantial basic income? By natural, I mean any direct or indirect effects of the sole introduction of the basic income.
2) If an inflation cannot naturally be avoided, what measures are usually suggested together with the introduction of the basic income?
Edit: my question is close but not an exact duplicate of this question. In the example of the other question, $A$ would receive $30$ and $B$ would receive $90$ for an unconditional basic income of $30$. If the two questions are equivalent, please explain.

$\begingroup$ In the example $B$ does not receive anything from the government as his income is above the UBI level. Please reread the answer more thoroughly. If you have further comments consider posting them under the answer they adress. $\endgroup$ – Giskard Nov 28 '16 at 12:07
Theoretically basic income might have a tendency to increase inflation. But that largely depends on how much is the basic income provided. Usually, the idea of basic income itself means that it is 'basic' and is just sufficient for a subsistence. With such an income level, the problem of inflation does not crop up really. However, basic income might have other serious problems with crowding out due to large government spending and the disincentive to work and hence loss of productivity.
Even if we suppose, there is a large basic money disbursement which can cause inflation, then I think it should not be unconditional. Usually, such plans are in the form of guaranteed employment programs, buying of ration from designated stores and many more measures. However, I still feel these measures are not for tackling inflation rather the disincentive to work.
Sub-OptimalSub-Optimal
In short, inflation affects a basic income guarantee exactly the same as any other cashflow in the affected currency.
It is possible to create a connection by funding a basic income benefit with inflationary measures. However, the resulting inflation will be spread throughout the economy, and would apply even if those measures were taken to fund some unrelated program.
A more tenuous connection relates to managing incentives. If the amount guaranteed is too high, then there are reduced incentives to produce. This reduced production affects government revenues (which are typically tied to production through income or sales taxes). When government revenues are falling, there is always the temptation to make up the difference with inflationary measures.
phylaephylae
Another name for basic income is citizens dividend, the idea being that the income is a dividend from the nation's earnings from natural resources like land and oil. In most countries only a select few of the population will be deemed as owning these resources outright with the rest of the population having to pay for access to what by rights they should be owning already - it is a kind of theft. Just think about how anyone ever gets to own any land in the first place - who do they buy it from? The answer is that it is taken by force from everyone else. If you want a system of distributing land without any theft then you have to have people paying rent for that land, and that rent will go to everyone else in society - this is the "dividend".
So in summary, citizens dividend is a natural consequence of enforcing a no theft policy on natural resources. The money for the dividend payments will come from new rents for using land / natural resources. The money does not need to be printed and therefore the policy is not inflationary at all.

$\begingroup$ This seems more like a political rant than an answer. $\endgroup$ – Giskard Nov 27 '16 at 13:03
$\begingroup$ It is also wrong on its main point: Inflation is not always the result of money printing. Price levels can increase due to other macroeconomic factors. $\endgroup$ – Giskard Nov 27 '16 at 13:04
$\begingroup$ re: "rant" - well maybe its a rant, but I believe it fully contains the answer too. re: "Inflation is not always the result of money printing" - I don't dispute that, but I never said it. I'm just saying the a citizens dividend does not necessitate money printing. $\endgroup$ – Mick Nov 27 '16 at 13:13
$\begingroup$ "The money does not need to be printed and therefore the policy is not inflationary at all." This sentence implies there is no inflation precisely because there is no money printing. $\endgroup$ – Giskard Nov 27 '16 at 14:12
$\begingroup$ other inflationary / deflationary things may be going on, so there may be inflation/deflation in the economy but the citizen's dividend / land rent system won't be causing it. $\endgroup$ – Mick Nov 27 '16 at 16:51

Distrikt, a Community-Owned Professional Social Network on the Internet Computer, Has Launched
The blockchain-based social platform empowers people to control their identity and data — and has quickly attracted nearly 20,000 registered users.
Newly launched on the Internet Computer blockchain, distrikt is a decentralized social media network for professionals that gives users ownership and authority over their identity and data. The platform is the first professional social network that is entirely blockchain-based — all of distrikt's engagements, uploads, and exchanges occur on-chain.
Distrikt is a professional network that is designed to showcase mid- to long-form, user-generated written content. In comparison to existing platforms, distrikt is a combination of LinkedIn, Twitter, and Medium, except it is decentralized, user-governed, and user-owned.
Ownership on the distrikt platform will involve a native token that aligns incentives for users to participate in autonomous governance, granting them voting rights to decide on proposals that are submitted for consideration. This system will ensure that distrikt's users are active decision-makers who determine how the platform evolves.
In February, the distrikt team took over the development of LinkedUp, a professional social media dapp that the DFINITY Foundation created as a demo to show the ease with which software can be built and deployed on the Internet Computer. After evolving the dapp and bringing it to launch on July 27, distrikt has already attracted nearly 20,000 registered users.
"We envision a future where people can enjoy all the benefits of social media platforms, without paying for them with their data and privacy," says distrikt co-founder Andra Georgescu. "As a distrikt user, you will own your data and identity. You don't have to be the product just to enjoy the product."
Centralized, corporate social platforms are plagued by a lack of visibility or oversight into decisions that affect billions of users, as well as pervasive issues regarding privacy, data management, censorship, security, etc. New ownership and governance structures are charting a new approach to engineering and design that make the platform a resilient and open product of the community.
"We want to offer distrikt users the transparency and autonomy that centralized social media platforms lack."
The day-to-day operations of distrikt will be managed by the Open Internet Foundation, a Swiss-based not-for-profit organization that supports the growth of the open internet through the development of digital products and services that empower users. To sustain distrikt's ongoing development ahead of an eventual public fundraising event, the Open Internet Foundation has already secured a donation of 6 million CHF and 40,000 ICP utility tokens.
New, decentralized social spaces like distrikt are needed to foster online environments that cultivate constructive user experiences and relationships, as well as unprecedented levels of connection and coordination. distrikt's mission is to empower users to connect, collaborate, and share with others while preserving total ownership and control over their data on a platform that they can govern themselves. It aims to embody the best of both worlds: a great user experience combined with the benefits of blockchain technology.
We asked Andra Georgescu and the distrikt development team to share some details about their project:
What does your technology do? What problems does distrikt aim to solve?
distrikt will allow users to connect, communicate and share original content with each other while preserving ownership and control over their data and identity. This solves quite a few problems that social media users are becoming more and more aware of, such as privacy violations, data leaks, lack of autonomy or sovereignty, etc.
Who are your target users?
Young professionals who are privacy conscious and entrepreneurial.
Where is your team based?
Our dev team is located in Belgrade, Serbia, while our design and marketing team is located in Bucharest, Romania. The Open Internet Foundation is set up in Neuchatel, Switzerland and is in charge of operations.
What motivated you to develop your service using blockchain technology?
We want to offer distrikt users the transparency and autonomy that centralized social media platforms lack. The security and cryptography of blockchain networks is also an appealing value proposition, especially in the context of the numerous data leaks that happen so often on platforms built on traditional, centralized infrastructure.
Why did you choose to develop on the Internet Computer instead of other platforms (either blockchain networks or centralized solutions)?
The Internet Computer allows platforms like distrikt to be part of an ecosystem in which they can thrive as a truly decentralized system, directly on the internet and free from dependence on proprietary systems. distrikt won't be faced with platform risk, which is especially important in the context of launching autonomous software.
What surprised you most about building on the Internet Computer?
What surprised us the most is the fact that the blockchain layer is so efficient, and we haven't faced the friction we've come to associate with developing on blockchain networks. Instead, the process has been as seamless as developing on a more conventional stack.
What benchmarks for success are you aiming for?
User adoption and retention is our most important metric going forward. We are working on developing ways of gathering feedback and reacting promptly to our user's likes and dislikes. distrikt will evolve and we consider its developing an iterative process. Our biggest teachers will be our early adopters!
How do you anticipate developing and evolving your product or service in the future?
In its 2021 version, distrikt will offer users Medium-like article creation, distribution, and consumption within a LinkedIn-style platform that allows them to showcase their projects and achievements, as well as highlight important milestones.
The ultimate vision for distrikt is that it becomes a community-building platform where users create groups called distrikts that grow, merge, and diverge, like communities naturally tend to.
What new decentralized service or app would you like to see developed within the Internet Computer ecosystem?
We would love to see the following:
A mobile phone backup/restore solution
A photo storage/sharing app
Register your distrikt account today.

Seal in the road, rescued safe and (into the) sound Tuesday night.

Seal in the Road, Oak Bluffs Police to the Rescue

Two Oak Bluffs police officers became marine mammal rescuers Tuesday night when they helped guide a rogue seal back into Nantucket Sound from the middle of the road.
Oak Bluffs Sgt. Michael Marchand said the seal was spotted just past the Little Bridge at about 7 p.m. after a car coming from Edgartown swerved to avoid it. He said the driver informed two officers on patrol nearby that the seal was in the road. Officers Seth Harlow and Jim Bishop went to investigate, and then returned quickly to the station for some items to help with the task at hand.
"They got a warm, clean trash barrel from the station," Sergeant Marchard said. "They put it in the trash barrel and walked it to the ocean."
Mr. Marchand said the officers covered the opening of the trash can with a flattened cardboard box to keep the seal inside, and made a path with their flashlights through the sand. He said they then walked with the seal in tow down to the water, releasing it safely into the sound.
The sergeant praised the officers for their quick thinking and response.
"We deal with unusual occurrences from time to time and this is certainly one of them," he said.

Young seals come out of the water to rest. Asphalt can be often the warmest surface they find. Directing the Seal back to the sandy shore is far better than forcing it back into the water. Remember, to ask professionals before exercising " your " plan. You may be killing what you are attempting to save.

The Winged Victory of Samothrace, or Nike of Samothrace, is a marble sculpture of the Greek goddess Nike in the form of a winged woman standing on the prow of a ship, braced against the strong wind blowing through her garments.
The work presents a pose where violent motion and sudden stillness meet. Since 1884, it has been prominently displayed at the Louvre and is one of the most celebrated sculptures in the world. It was discovered by a French archaeologist in 1863 on the island of Samothrace in the Aegean Sea. It had been housed in a small building at the highest point of the religious sanctuary on the island.
The statue stands 5.57 m highand stands atop the prow of a warship and was intended to commemorate some unknown naval battle. Sadly, no dedicatory inscription has ever been found, so exactly what victory the Victory was celebrating will remain a mystery.
In this painting we see Bathsheba the wife of Uriah, a general of King David's army. The king upon seeing Bathsheba bathing, had her summoned, and led her into adultery. In this, one of his major works, the artist focuses his representation of the episode on Bathesheba at her bath. She is portrayed as both victim and sinner, deeply disturbed by the royal message.
In order to marry Bathsheba and conceal his sin, David sends Uriah into battle and orders his generals to abandon him, leaving him to certain death. The letter shown in Bathsheba's hand contains a demand from David for her to choose between fidelity to her husband or obedience to her king.
The warm harmony of the painting, in tones of gold and copper, was inspired by great Venetian painters. Rembrandt's skill in depicting light was at its height in this becalmed, mature work. The gold brocade cloth in the background and the dazzling white of the linen provide a luminous setting.
The Mona Lisa, only the best known, the most visited and the most written about work of art in the world, is believed to have been painted between 1503 and 1506. It is now the property of the French Republic, on permanent display at the Louvre.
The Mona Lisa is thought to be of Lisa Gherardini, wife of a Florentine cloth merchant named Francesco del Giocondo. However, is it to be believed that Da Vinci took the completed portrait to France rather than giving it to the person who commissioned it. It was eventually returned to Italy by Leonardo's student and heir Salai. The Mona Lisa is the earliest Italian portrait to focus so closely on the sitter in a half-length portrait.
The figure is shown in half-length, from the head to the waist, sitting in a chair whose arm is resting on balusters. She is resting her left arm on the arm of the chair, which is placed in front of a loggia. Lisa has her right hand resting on her left. Leonardo chose this gesture rather than a wedding ring to depict Lisa as a virtuous woman and faithful wife.
The Mona Lisa's famous smile represents a visual idea of happiness suggested by the word "gioconda" in Italian. Leonardo made this notion of happiness the central motif of the portrait: it is this notion which makes the work such an ideal. The nature of the landscape also plays a role. The middle distance, on the same level as the sitter's chest, is in warm colors. Men live in this space: there is a winding road and a bridge. This space represents the transition between the space of the sitter and the far distance, where the landscape becomes a wild and uninhabited space of rocks and water which stretches to the horizon, which Leonardo has cleverly drawn at the level of the sitter's eyes.
In late 2005, researchers from the University of Amsterdam ran the painting's image through "emotion recognition" computer software. The technology demonstration found the smile to be 83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful, 2% angry, less than 1% neutral, and 0% surprised.
This painting by Leonardo da Vinci shows the Virgin Mary (Madonna), both Christ and St. John the Baptist as a child, and the archangel Uriel within a cave. The original painting was done by Da Vinci in 1485 whilst living in Milan.
We see the Virgin Mary stretching one hand to include John the Baptist and raising the other hand above the head of Christ in a blessing. The infant St. Jogn is making a gesture of prayer to the Christ child. The Christ child in return blesses St. John. Mary's left hand hovers protectively over the head of her son while the angel Uriel looks out and points to St. John. Normally when we see the Virtin Mary and Christ, Mary has been enthroned as the Queen of Heaven. Here, in contrast, we see Mary seated on the ground. This type of representation of Mary is referred to as the Madonna of Humility.
In 1508 a second paintin of Madonna of the Rocks was created. It is believed it was made by Da Vinci and some others artists. This painting – which contains brighter colors, but is almost identical in form – can be foud at the National Gallery of Art in London.

New York Dem Gov Andrew Cuomo Tries To Mask His New Tax Hike Plan
In an insult to tax-weary residents, Cuomo is refusing to be honest about his tax hike.
Per The RGA:
In an unsurprising move, tax-and-spend New York Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo wants to hit New Yorkers with a combined $1 billion in new taxes and fees. But in an insult to tax-weary residents, Cuomo is refusing to be honest about his tax hike, and is instead laughingly trying to get away with calling his new taxes and fees "revenue raisers."
The Associated Press explains, "Gov. Andrew Cuomo calls them 'revenue actions' and 'revenue raisers…' Also known as taxes and fees."
Facing a massive budget deficit from years of reckless spending and an out-migration crisis, Cuomo is trying to disguise his billion-dollar tax hike plan because Cuomo knows that voters aren't interested in even higher New York taxes.
NY1 News reporter Zack Fink called Cuomo's phrase "a fancy way of saying new fees and taxes." The Buffalo Newsexplains that Cuomo's plan would raise taxes on a bevy of industries and products, including health insurance. Cuomo's plan would also raise taxes on online purchases and commercial buses.
New Yorkers are already among the most over-taxed in the country – they need a break, not a billion-dollar tax increase from a governor who won't even be honest about his plan.

For an episode with such an ostentatious name "The Pain of Living" Episode 3 of Itachi Shinden is not what you'd expect. As if I told you last week we'd be looking at a comedy about Ninja Cats you'd have told me I was insane. Yet here we are, Itachi one of the most tragic heroes of shonen manga a character that at times goes through nearly Shakespearean levels of pains and suffering is the straight man in a ninja buddy comedy. I couldn't make this up if I wanted to, mostly because I'd never want to. However moving on lets see how Itachi: Cat Wrangler works out.
Following the events of last weeks episode Itachi has graduated from the Ninja Academy in record time making his a full fledged ninja of the village a Genin. Walking alongside of his father Itachi notices the people of the clan looking up at Fugaku with pride. When Fugaku wonders why Itachi looks so happy he explain as the face of the Uchiha Itachi is proud of walking next to his father, once again showing how much love and devotion the young Itachi has for him. This of course is important as Itachi will one day betray his father.
Blushing Itachi - something you don't see every day.
As they walk Itachi comes across Izumi the young girl who is most in love with Itachi. Sitting on the docks alongside the Uchiha training ground Itachi and Izumi share a cute couple moments as she offers him dumplings. Not much really happens except further confirmation that Itachi and Izumi share something likely more then friendship. However this changes at the mention of the Sharingan which Itachi desperately wants to manifest. However as we know Itachi has yet to go through the trauma necessary to awaken the Uchiha's most distinctive ability.
Moving on Itachi is on a mission with Team Two which includes his Jounin leader Minazuki Yuki and his two teammates the kunochi Shinko Inari, and the jealous Tenma Izumo. Tenma seems standoffish towards Itachi for the same reason most are due to his abilities he is very much younger then his fellow Genin, this much like at the academy fosters resentment in Tenma visa vie Itachi. Honestly though the three of them are not the most important as we shall see they play a rather small even if important role in Itachi's life - they merely seem to be regular people caught up in Itachi's life.
Neko-Itachi... this episode is like some bad fan fiction.
Funny enough the mission is given by the enigmatic Nekobaa-san a character we've actually met before. While on the outside she is a crazy cat lady Nekobaa-san is in fact a very prolific arms dealer that supplies the Uchiha clan. While she is giving Itachi a mission today she will years in the future be surprised when another Uchiha "Kitten" Sasuke comes to by weapons which he'll use to one day kill Itachi. The circle of life... and cats apparently, hey its Naruto doesn't need to be profound all the time after all.
The missions goes as one would expect from an episode where our "heroes" are wearing cat ears. There are some sight gags and slapstick comedy that lands and doesn't which can actually be funny by how bad it can be. What is funny though is the missing ninja cat is merely a lovelorn drunk who is getting worn down by the pressure to get married, where he instead attempts to find peace at the bottom of a catnip liquor bottle.
Drunk Ninja Cat is funniest Ninja Cat.
The side quest of Tenma attempting to get a ninja cats whiskers to save his sick day is also completed. I didn't mention this earlier as well... it's kinda perfunctory and didn't really make much of a difference. All it showed is Itachi as a child cares and is a very good teammate even if he isn't much liked by the person he's helping.
However not surprising after the mission Shinko explains to Itachi and Tenma they are in fact friends, kind of mirroring Sakura's influence of Naruto and Sasuke on Team Seven. She hammers her point home but punching both Itachi and Tenma again much like Sakura would or Tsunade even earlier. Showing how while not very original Itachi Shinden stands on the shoulders of its predecessors much in the same way the original manga did.
At the end of the episode Itachi is spending time with Sasuke thinking to himself about his friends. However he keeps referring to them in the past tense, why will become clear very soon. It seems during an unknown mission Itachi and Team Two were ambushed by a mysterious masked man who looks very much like Obito Uchiha as Madara. During the attack the entirety of Team Two is killed leaving Itachi alone. As he thinks back he quietly starts to tear up and as Sasuke looks on Itachi's Sharingan is awakened for the first time. Looking at Sasuke he wonders if he'll ever awaken these eyes and if his brother will know pain.
While the majority of the episode was kind of pointless and uneven giving us little more then an extended look to Itachi as a person the ending was without a doubt a surprise. While it was known Itachi doesn't spend much time with Team Two it is a shock to find how quickly it all ended for him. Furthermore it confirms that Obito took an interest in Itachi long before was officially shown previously inflicting pain and sorrow as he puts it very early in life. It's likely Itachi's changes over the years is due to direct and repeated pressure by Obito, however as we know Itachi's purity is never truly broken.
It was recently announced by Shonen Jump that both the Naruto Gaiden and Boruto sequel series will be getting new manga editions. Naruto Gaiden will have a one-shot chapter focusing on Orochimaru's "child" Mitsuki written by Masashi Kishimoto. While Boruto will get a monthly manga serialization. For those wondering I'll be covering those of those. Hope to see you there!

The band plays the "Bridal Chorus" (better known as "Here Comes the Bride" to most people) composed by Richard Wagner. Wagner composed it sometime in the mid 19th century. The movie takes place sometime around the mid 18th century. The "Bridal Chorus" was not played in places other than Germany until the late 19th century or early 20th century.
Audio/visual unsynchronised
During the fighting scene between Gaston and Beast, Gaston says "Belle is mine!" But his mouth is saying something else. This is because, he was originally supposed to say, "Time to die!" but the writer changed it to fit Belle back in the scene.
Before Gaston attempts to propose to Belle, he kicks off his boots. But while he is walking around the house, distinct footsteps and jingles are heard, implying he has boots on.
Following Belle's title song reprise on the hilltop and just after Phillipe interrupts her moment, she says "Phillipe!" though her lip movements suggest that other dialogue was intended.

When the Beast is fighting off the wolves, there are multiple times when the sound of ripping cloth is heard, implying that the wolves were tearing the Beast's cape. However, once the fight is over and the Beast is seen alone with Belle, there's no damage to his cape at all.
At the end of the "Gaston" number, women's voices can be heard. But the only women visible are Gaston's three suitors, and their faces are frozen in huge smiles showing off their teeth, so there is no way they can be singing these parts.
During the number "Something There" the voices of Belle and the Beast are clearly recognizable; however, their lips do not move.
Character error
When Belle was taking the Beast back to the castle after getting injured by the wolves, there is absolutely no way she was able to lift the unconscious Beast onto Phillipe by herself without his help.
During 'Gaston' the bald man playing chess with Gaston is clearly seen placing a white checkered bishop onto a red square. In chess the two bishops on each side can only move or land on a square of the same color. So the man playing Gaston actually made an illegal pass.
When Gaston tries to kiss Belle, and she opens the door, Gaston goes flying out into the mud in front of the house. But Belle's front door is on the side of the porch, not facing the mud.
After Gaston has shot the Beast, the arrows in the quiver on his back disappear and then reappear in the next shot.
When Belle's father is about to be taken away to the asylum, Belle's white apron disappears for a few moments, and then reappears seconds later.
When Mrs. Potts runs over Cogsworth to serve Maurice tea, she, Chip, a sugar cup, and cream cup are on the cart. However, when it stops by the chair, it's just her and Chip. Then, a few shots later, as Maurice is saying hello to Chip, a spoon appears on the tray.
After the "Gaston" number, the bear rug moves from behind the chair to under the chair.
In the scene where Gaston and LeFou are plotting with the asylum keeper, Gaston elbows LeFou and the mug of beer that Lafou is drinking gets stuck on his face. When LeFou finally gets the mug off, beer splashes around in the cup indicating that the mug is at least half full. However, Lafou turns the mug over on his head to block another blow from Gaston seconds later and the mug is now empty.
Gaston's chair disappears from in front of the fire in the closing shots of the "Gaston" number.
When Cogsworth falls down the stairs, all sorts of gears and nuts fall out, but in the next shot, seconds later, they are gone.
The scratch marks that the Beast makes in his portrait change direction and location throughout the film.
On the Special Edition, at exactly one hour and three minutes, just for a second, Mrs. Potts' eyes turn black and then turn back to blue.
Belle's nails disappear and reappear several times throughout the movie.
In the song "Gaston" when Gaston sings "when I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs, every morning to help me get large" he grabs the eggs and swallows them whole. LeFou attempts the same to only have them fall on his face. After he says "so I'm roughly the size of a barge!" and shoots his gun, a bowl of eggs appears on the counter.
When Maurice is leaving to rescue Belle, a large map gets stuck in the door when he closes it. Two shots later, the map is visible from the inside, but when Gaston kicks the door open, the other side of the map is no longer there as it should be.
During the final battle, when Cogsworth comes to rescue Lumiere from LeFou, he is holding a gun, but two shots later, right before he slides down the banister, the gun disappears.
When the Beast slams the door to the west wing in anger of Belle's refusal to come down for dinner, a piece of ceiling plaster falls on Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts, scattering pieces about the place. In the next overhead shot, all of the plaster is gone.
During "The Mob Song", the snow on the porch caps disappears and re-appears between shots.
After Gaston shoots the bird, LeFou puts it in his hunting bag, but his bag disappears as he goes to pick up the larger carcass.
In the shot of Belle riding up to the Beast's castle for the first time, her hood is down. In the close-up shot immediately following it, her hood is up.
At the beginning of the movie before Belle starts singing, you can see the steps go down and lead to a path heading to the village. Although when Gaston comes to purpose to her, the steps go down to a path to the barn. Later when Gaston and other villagers come to take Maurice to the asylum it faces straight to the village.
In the scene where the Beast is overlooking Belle from the balcony, you see in the far shot that her dress is blue. However, in the close up shot, her dress is obviously green.
During "The Mob Song", when Gaston begins singing to LeFou, the mirror cannot be seen, but during that same section, Gaston clearly pulls the mirror out of his belt.
When Belle tricks Gaston into falling out of the door after his proposal, the door opens outwards; however, in the next scene, she slams the door seemingly from the inside suggesting the door opens inwards.
When Belle is first greeted by Lumiere he takes her hand and kisses it. As he kisses it, a brief side view shows his right hand candle unlit, but it is always lit before and after that brief shot.
After the Beast rescues Belle from the wolves and is brought back to the castle, Belle is trying to mend the Beast's arm. In the shots where she is attempting to place the cloth on his arm and when they start arguing, there are clearly three scratches on his arm, but when it zooms to a closer shot when the Beast has settled down a bit, there are four scratches.
The three blonde girls who love Gaston have three distinct hairstyles in the song "Belle" and during the song "Gaston". They have identical hairstyles in the pull-out shot at the end of the "Gaston" number in the pub.
When LeFou is chasing Footstool, he is missing a shoe, which is in the dog's mouth, but when LeFou and his buddies burst through the door, his shoe is on. When the Stove scares them away by flaring up, his shoe is missing again.
When Belle and the Beast are having breakfast together, before the Beast catches the spoon, his face is dirty. When he catches the spoon his face is clean, and when he tries to eat with the spoon his face gets dirty again. Finally, when he eats right from the plate, as Belle does, his face is clean again.
As Maurice leaves the house to rescue Belle, he stuffs a pair of long underwear into his pack. The pair falls out and gets caught in the door when Maurice shuts it. Two shots later, when Gaston and LeFou barge in, the underwear is gone.
When Beast first brings Belle to her room, her bed has a rose in the center at the foot of it. In a later scene when Mrs. Potts meets Belle for the first time and bringing tea, the rose in the bed is gone.
LeFou (with only a shoe) and two more guys are chasing the "dog" (that has got LeFou's shoe). They three are carrying a fork, a saber and an ax. Then, they throw four white arms (you don't know from where), three of which stick in the kitchen doors (two in a leaf, one in the other). When they get into the kitchen, one of them has disappeared, LeFou has two shoes, the saber has converted into a club and we see that the "dog" still has the shoe. Finally, LeFou flees, again without a shoe, and then again with two (down the stairs).
When Gaston is trying to kiss Belle in her house, she opens the door and he falls out into the mud. This would mean the door opens outwards. In the next scene when Belle sets his boots outside (and in all later scenes), the door opens inwards.
When Belle meats Mrs. Potts and Chip, Mrs. Potts pours tea into Chip the cup until he is almost completely full, then Belle takes a sip. When Chip jumps down from Belle's hands, most of his inside can be seen and he appears empty, but as he hops away he appears full of tea again.
When Belle first enters the dungeon, her father is holding out his arm through one of the middle spaces in the cell door. In the close up shot, his arm is protruding from the left hand space.
Is this interesting? Interesting?
Right before Gaston starts singing "The Mob Song," when he is talking to the villagers, the numbers change from a small number to a large crowd in between shots. Also, they move from far away to up close and all around.
When the Beast is transformed back into a prince, his right sleeve has a big hole in it. But, it disappeared for a few seconds and appeared later when the castle is transformed back.
In Belle's room, the design of the door's appearance on the inside of Belle's room changes in the shot when she opens it up for Mrs. Potts.
During the fighting sequence with Gaston, the Beast's pants get ripped. When the Beast is transformed back into a prince, there is a close-up shot of his foot as it changes. During this moment, his pants are not torn. They go back to being torn when his pants are next seen.
When Chip's reflection can be seen in the floor, his mouth is not visible as it should be.
During the opening song when Belle is on her way to the bookshop, the book that she is carrying changes from red, to blue in her basket, to red again. The basket also disappears and reappears at different points in the song.
When Belle talks to the Baker on her way to the bookshop, the binding on the book she shows him switches sides.
When Gaston knocks on Belle's door to propose, before opening the door she looks at him through a "peephole" gadget attached to the door. After he walks in, the inside of the door is seen and the gadget is no longer there.
Midway through the film Belle is walking up the stairs towards the West Wing. She is looking to the left of the stairs as she's walking up the stairs. She also comes running down from the left of the stairs when she leaves the West Wing. Later on in the film during the "Beauty and the Beast" sequence, the Beast comes down from the right of the stairs (after bathing and getting ready) from the West Wing.
After the Beast is transformed back, there is a giant hole on the back of his right sleeve, then seconds later, it disappeared.
When Belle is crying, Mrs Potts pours tea into Chip and offers her a drink. As Mrs Potts says "Don't spill" just before Belle reaches for the drink, the whole top rim of Chip the cup can be seen, and it is intact the small chip is not there.
When Gaston first walks into Belle's house to "propose to her", he leaves the door open, but when he corners Belle, the door is shut.
When Gaston enters Belle's house to propose, his boots are clean. But as soon as he puts his feet up on the table, they are now dripping mud on Belle's book.
During "The Mob Song", when the Beast's servants go marching into battle, we don't see Lumierre or the feather duster within the group, but they appear with the group when they arrive at the front door.
In the final scene, Chip, Mrs. Potts, and Maurice are shown with the windows of the ballroom behind them. However, in the final shot of Belle and the Prince dancing, the trio are shown facing the windows.
In the beginning of the opening number, Belle buys a baguette and puts it in her waist pouch from which it visibly protrudes. But you never see it again throughout the number and towards the end of the number her waist pouch looks flat. She didn't eat it and she didn't give it away.
Errors in geography
In the "Belle" number, LeFou can be seen carrying a bundle of pelts, one of which has the gray and black ringed tail of a raccoon. But the film is set in France, and raccoons are indigenous to North America.
Factual errors
In his song, Gaston fires his blunderbuss three consecutive times. This firearm must be reloaded after every shot from the forward end.
When Cogsworth is showing Belle around the castle for the first time, he asks her to draw her attention to the flying buttresses above. However, flying buttresses are located outside the castle, rather than inside.
In the opening introduction before the song "Belle" we see Belle's house. The windmill on the house has two gears that are clearly working against one another, yet they still turn perfectly.
There are several references to Belle and Maurice being locked in the dungeon but as the Beast correctly states, they were held in the tower. A dungeon would be underground such as a basement. Belle had to climb several flights of steps to get to her father in the tower.
When Belle walks by the broken mirror in the West Wing, her reflection is not inverted (both Belle and her image have the strand on the left side).
Chip was able to get the wood chopper working without arms. It's impossible to get machinery going without hands or arms.
Incorrectly regarded as goofs
When Belle is at the village fountain with the sheep, she points to a picture in her book. Moments later, after the song "Belle" ends, Gaston takes the book and asks how she can read a book with no pictures. However, Gaston does not look through the whole book but only a couple of pages.
Maurice is captured for trespassing in the Beast's castle. Belle also trespasses to find her father. The Beast could have just kept her without releasing her father, thus there would be no threat from the villagers or Gaston. However, a very similar scenario occurred at Auschwitz with a Polish priest named Maximilian Kolbe, who offered to take the place of a man about to be sent to the gas chambers. Merely stepping out of the line-up in the way Kolbe did would've been enough for him to have been sent to the gas chambers anyway, but the Nazis still accepted his offer and let the other man go, and the Beast essentially does the same with Belle.
During "Gaston", Gaston swallows a few eggs whole but he should really have choked as humans do not have wide enough throats to swallow solid foods whole. This is deliberate to show how strong he is - he's a cartoon character, after all.
Sometime after the opening number, Phillipe abandons Maurice in the woods, sometime before Maurice finds the castle. Later, Phillipe is able to direct Belle to the castle. This makes no sense because he had never been to the castle prior to this. Maurice, on the other hand, returns to the village midway through the film and somehow gets lost trying to return to the castle, even though he had been there before (although after he is left behind by Phillipe, he is chased by the wolves the rest of the way and is obviously fleeing in terror as he tries to find safety). Later, Gaston and his henchmen have no trouble finding the castle, even though they've never been there (Gaston does, however, have the magic mirror and may have figured out how to use it to find the Beast after having seen Belle use it just before he rounded up the mob). Perhaps the biggest error of all is the fact that none of the villagers seem to have seen or heard of this "hidden" kingdom, which sits deep in the nearby forest, on a bluff on top of a mountain.
In "Be Our Guest", Lumiere explains that the castle's residents "Have been rusting for ten years", which would imply that the twenty-one-year-old Beast was eleven years old when he was cursed (which contradicts his torn portrait in the West Wing). The film's prologue mentions that he must find true love by his twenty-first year (not birthday), so it's possible that the Prince (as well as the other castle residents) did not age after they were cursed. Since the Beast became reclusive and increasingly angry, it's reasonable that his servants have not served anyone for ten years.
Belle borrows books from the bookshop. Yet the bookshop is more of a library as she didn't appear to buy any books. But being considered the only bookworm in town, the book selection is very large.
After Belle and Maurice leave their house behind to go to the castle to rescue the beast. It's unknown if Maurice still owned the house, or if the property was confiscated by Monsieur D'Arque as Gaston payed him money, also the villagers thought Maurice was crazy and he was going to be thrown in the Asylum.
Revealing mistakes
Immediately after the ballroom dance scene, Belle and the Beast sit on a balcony and Belle says to the Beast "If only I could see my father again, just for a moment. I miss him so much." and the camera changes to a close up of the Beast. In this close up the Beast's right horn visibly slides around on his head for a moment before snapping into place.
Despite the film taking place in France none of the characters except Lumiere, the feather duster, and the stove chef all speak with a French accent.
Mrs. Potts in Be Our Guest doesn't have a spot on her until she says "Heaven's sake. Is that a spot?"
In the 2010 Diamond Edition release and current releases, the Work-In-Progress Edition and the Original Theatrical Release uses the same character animation at the end of the "Something There" sequence as the one in the 2002 IMAX/Special Edition re-release. This was corrected in the 3D re-release.
When the Beast offers Belle to escort her to her quarters and says, "You wanna stay in the tower", he says "wanna" twice.
The goof items below may give away important plot points.
During the final dance with Belle and The Prince dancing in the ballroom, the bystanders on the outskirts of the dance floor are dressed in medieval clothing and are drawn in a distinctly different style from the characters in the movie (except for the inserted servant staff). This is because the film re-used crowd cells from Sleeping Beauty (set in the Middle Ages) in this scene. As such, there are several centuries of difference between the characters of the film and the crowd surrounding them at the end.
Gaston stabs the Beast in the leg but in the next shot his knife is in the Beast's side. See trivia for more information.
