KDE Users Database
Submitted by Rael
A few days ago, we've opened a new section on our Polish K Desktop Environment website called "KDE Users Database". This is not only for Polish users, it's international. After some time it'll be good rate of KDE users number all over the world. Every registered user can save generated certificates and put them on his desktop or website. So, let's register! Please note, that this is not an official KDE users counter - but, maybe in future - it might change.
Re: Umm...
The encoding option "HTML" had been taken out years ago since it had been abused, I agree that the one "choice" drop down "list" should go as well. =P

Here's one Bush supporter that is a KDE supporter
By Teo Mrnjavac at Thu, 2004/06/03 - 5:00am
Politics aren't the sole indicator of everything else about a person. Ezra Pound was a pretty good writer and also a fascist. I've met Bush supporters and I feel confident I could trust them to help me in a time of need (assuming I wasn't Muslim, naturally). They could probably write good code too.
By ac at Thu, 2004/06/03 - 5:00am
Teo without getting angry, or feeling offended what is it about Bush that you like?
My father felt that Bush would be a good thing for the country, and stood by his vote whole heartedly until Bush decided to invade Iraq "without just cause." Those are his words not mine and keep in mind he's a former NCO in the Air Force with strong ties to the military. So strong military is a near requirement in my family. I believe the mottoe is honor, duty, country. I'm the first male in nine generations who didn't joined up instead becoming a general technology consultant. Anyway my question is, what is it about Bush that makes you want to support him? I see some good in what he's done such as restarting the "space race" although I don't see how it's feasable with our current budget, but for the most part I don't feel that he's doing a good job, and I don't see any of the contenders (Kerry, Nader, etc) doing any better. Think of me as a possible Bush vote what could you say that would make me want to vote Bush?

What a crappy mess this is. I should have stayed too busy to look. Stop being a fool and honor the guidelines of this site. the Dot is NOT for political discussions! Stop asking people to argue politics with you here. Go somewhere else for that!

By leaving out Iraq and US, KDE User Database is making a POLITICAL STATEMENT. Shouldn't kde.org remove the announcement?

Where do you see a "kde.org announcement"?
By Anonymous at Thu, 2004/06/03 - 5:00am
This is absolutely stupid and disgusting.
Has anyone of you written a web application? I have and am constantly finding bugs. When I started doing the digests over a year ago, I shocked myself by spelling names wrong. People corrected me, since that is obviously important. I do try to get them right, but I make mistakes.
I will say honestly that if anyone had reacted to my errors like this crowd is reacting to what is very likely an error, I would have quit and given my time to another project that deserved my interest.
Lay off. Let the guy fix it. If he is interested in doing anything anymore for this bunch of idiots.

"Honestly though...no offence Anheuser-Busch but what were you thinking when ya named Budweiser Budweiser? Didn't you do your history and notice that there's another brand with the same name that's been out much longer and tastes much better?"
Hooray for revisionist history. There never was a *brand* called Budweiser before Anhauser Busch's. There were beers brewed in Budweis (Cseske Budovice (sp?)), but none of them called themselves "Budweiser" for the same reason you never see a brand of beer called "Pilsener."
As such, Anhauser may have been being a bit uncreative but you do what you can to appeal to your potential clients, many of whome at the time were recent immigrants.
So, Anhauser starts expanding globally and some brewery in Budweis decides to steal (in the sense that they can use it and they make it so Anhauser can't) the name Anhauser has been using for over a century and justify their thievery with the fact that they happen to be in Budweis. Result? People in Europe trip over themselves to castigate the Big American Company for stealing the name. Please.
Pointings out of factual errors gladly accepted :)
By jason at Thu, 2004/06/03 - 5:00am
There is a beer brand called Pilsner Urquell (*THE* beer from Pilsen, Czech Republic). And it is the beer that was then copied by all breweries.
As to Budvar (the beer from Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic), it was AFAIK (and then again, maybe I am wrong) advertised in German (it is close to the Austrian border) as Budweiser Bier. While the communists were here, the borders were locked to the west, so Anheuser-Busch had no problems with this. Then after the velvet revolution in 1989 the iron curtain fell and Budweiser Bier alias Ceskobudejovicky Budvar was allowed to get out of the former communist block.
This was where the naming conflict arose.

Yes, except that, as far as I know, the naming conflict is older.
There is a Wikipedia entry about the 2 breweries:

> "If your not with us, your against us"
At least try to get it right:
"Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."
As you could have known if you participated in last year's KDE Contributor Conference in the Czech Republic which optionally included a trip to the Budweis plant in Budejovice, there is a formal agreement about the Budweiser name for use in the Americas versus Europe.
Both taste horrible versus a genuine Coastal Fog microbrew, though.
By Rob Kaper at Thu, 2004/06/03 - 5:00am
>bud light (unless you look at Belgian, German, Finish, or even India for quality..
Oh no! Please don't look at us for (finnish, with to n's) the quality beer. All the beers here taste allmost the same, allmost water that is... I have never tasted budweiser but I have heard it tastes like water and if someone who is used to finnish beers says that budweiser tastes like water then I really don't want anything to do with it. :)
ps. well I be damned, budweiser is on my spellcheckers dictionary.

"It's not as if the typical Bush supporter likes to use Open Source software..."
I support Bush and use (and love) Open Source... do I not matter as much as the next person just because I support Bush?
Saying I support Bush means one thing, and one thing only: I support Bush.
Though it does seem like most pro Open Source people (at least the vocal ones) don't like Bush.
I also can't stand Windows, and that damn DVD region code that caused me several days of pain when windows kept saying that my system was set to region code 1, but to play the DVD I had to set it to region code 1 (I took a screenshot of it)

> I recently needed a country list at work for a completely different purpose and searched the web for one. Interestingly there were *LOTS* of country lists omitting the U.S. Why?
My guess is because many order systems of US websites default to US and then offer a radio option with combobox with all other countries?
I think it's extremely sad that US politics has devolved into a "our team versus your team" mentality. Implying that one's choice of software is dependent upon one's choice of political party is ludicrous. Being the herd-like creatures that we are, it's comforting to assume that everyone who makes one choice like ours will make all their choices like ours, but it is simply not true.
By David at Thu, 2004/06/03 - 5:00am
I'm surprise by now it isn't fix. This really saddens me. It's been already 8 hours and it has been fix.
I think the omission of US and Iraq does suggest this as a political statement, one in which should not deserve its place in KDE or kde.org.
By Surprise at Thu, 2004/06/03 - 5:00am
Re: Surprised
I would be surprised if the author of the site has any interest in being involved in this project after the reaction here.
Completely agree. I'm sure it's a mistake and the countries missing will be added soon.
I'm amazed about all the bitching. Complaining that it hasn't been fixed after 8 hours is insanely stupid and saying it's a political statement is even more stupid.

Perhaps if somebody would notify the site author instead of flaming here? Just a thought...

A few more ommisions
It seem that Guam, Puerto Rico and The Vatican (I may not be catholic but it would be cool if the Pope used KDE) are also missing.
By anon at Thu, 2004/06/03 - 5:00am
Re: A few more ommisions
Guam and Puerto Rico are territories of the United States. Though I guess being a territory of Denmark didn't stop Greenland from making the list..
Oh right.. Puerto Rico and Guam must have been left off BECAUSE they belong to the United States. I forgot about the whole political protest thing :D
Actually quite a few more countries from the ISO 3166-1 list [http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/... are missing:
ÅLAND ISLANDS; AMERICAN SAMOA; ANDORRA; ARMENIA; BHUTAN; BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA; BOUVET ISLAND; COCOS (KEELING) ISLANDS; DJIBOUTI; ERITREA; ETHIOPIA; FALKLAND ISLANDS (MALVINAS); FAROE ISLANDS; FRENCH SOUTHERN TERRITORIES; GUAM; GUINEA-BISSAU; GUYANA; HAITI; HEARD ISLAND AND MCDONALD ISLANDS; HOLY SEE (VATICAN CITY STATE); IRAQ; LESOTHO; LIBERIA; LIECHTENSTEIN; MALAWI; MAYOTTE; MONACO; MONTSERRAT; NAURU; NIUE; NORFOLK ISLAND; NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS; PALESTINIAN TERRITORY, OCCUPIED; PITCAIRN; PUERTO RICO; RWANDA; SAINT LUCIA; SAN MARINO; SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE; SOLOMON ISLANDS; SOMALIA; SUDAN; SVALBARD AND JAN MAYEN; TANZANIA; TIMOR-LESTE; TOKELAU; UGANDA; UNITED STATES MINOR OUTLYING ISLANDS; VANUATU; VIRGIN ISLANDS, U.S.; WALLIS AND FUTUNA; and WESTERN SAHARA.
It may also be the US is missing because many lists come with it as the first in the list, out of alphabetical order, and sometimes it is deleted in the assumption it occurs also later in the list.
In any event I am sure this problem will be fixed, relax :-).
By Dre at Thu, 2004/06/03 - 5:00am
Actually, many of those aren't countries.
By Some1 at Fri, 2004/06/04 - 5:00am
Åland islands isn't on the list? Great, now I am waiting åland islanders(is it spelled that way?) to start bitching here that it was intentional and it was the evil finnish overlords that are responsible for that "little mistake". :)
For the record, I am from finland and åland islands are part of finland although quite independent part, for example they have their own flag and they speak swedish. Also one can buy tax-free goods if one is going from finland to sweden, or from sweden to finland, and the ferry goes through ålands territorial waters. I am not sure but I also think that åland is not a member of European Union (finland is and åland is part of finland as I said earlier, so go figure... :) but I might be incorrect, if I am wrong please set me straight. Oh, and I almost forgot, åland is also demilitarized zone.
ps. it is strange to write åland since it is called "ahvenanmaa" in finnish. :)

If I understand correctly one can use a word man in english to describe all the people, women and men. If I am wrong please correct me and I would like to have a correction (that is if I am wrong) from someone whose native language is english.
I think that use of the word 'man' only applies when used as a synonym for 'humankind' (or 'mandind').
When Niel Armstrong stepped on thhe moon, he said: "This is a small step for man, but a giant leap for mankind." Unfortunately that's rubbish, because it is the same as: "This is a small step for mankind, but a giant leap for mankind." He should have said: "This is a small step for A man, but a giant leap for mankind." But the world has forgiven him :)
Anyway, when you prefix the word 'man' with A, or THE, or THIS, or as in this case EVERY it is refering to one or more individual men, and not mankind as a whole, and therefore fails to include women.
Yes, English can be a silly language sometimes. Diclaimer: IANAL (IANA Lingust).
By Henrik at Fri, 2004/06/04 - 5:00am
Didn´t he say "a small step for *a* man"? That does make sense. I am betting even if he didn´t say that, that´s what he meant to say.
By Roberto Alsina at Fri, 2004/06/04 - 5:00am
Yes, he said: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
http://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/whos_who_level2/armstrong....
I still think that "every man" includes also women, I am not sure but I think I have heard something like "every man is created equal" used to describe that all are equal.
>Yes, English can be a silly language sometimes. Diclaimer: IANAL (IANA Lingust).
Now that is one thing I can agree with you anyday. :) So are there anyone out there who's native language is that silly mess called english.
Come out and help us to stop this bashing of your language! :)
Well, men and women are not created equal.
Assuming of course, that hey were created ;-)
Ok, this is getting really offtopic but what the heck, the whole thread has been offtopic almost from the beginning. :)
I didn't say men and women are equal or that they were created(they weren't), I said I have heard that kind of saying somewhere.
I do believe that men and women are equal in a same sense that we (you, Roberto and me, 138) are equal being from the opposite side of the globe (I am from Finland and if I am not mistaken you are from Argentina), we are both people after all, certainly different but equal non the less.
And if you really are from Argentina, I will never forgive you guys for dropping the England in footballs world cup in 1986, and with the hand goal! Oh, the humanity! :)
I seriously think men and women are not equal.
Just ask any woman (unless you are one, in which case, ask yourself) about anything she perceives as superior in general about women. For example, if women are more loyal, or nurturing, or whatever.
Then, simple arithmethics say that either men are superior in other ways, or women are superior in general.
Since I can't claim to know whether women or men are superior, I won't, but the odds of their differences matching so well that the whole is equal is infinitesimal.
And about the 86 cup... come on. Look at the whole match. Look at the two goals. Did England deserve to win, tie, or even be *close* in the match? I say no way.
Handballs go in often, and if the referee lets it stand, it is a goal. Other times, valid goals are annulled. That's how the game is played.
I find it amazing that of that whole match, what whole nations have preferred to remember was the first goal instead of the second. I think that speaks badly of them.
And besides, I didn't do it ;-)
Back with a hangover...
Well it seems to me that we don't exactly mean the same when are talking about equality. Like I said, when I talked about equality I meant the way we, you and me, are equal or would you say that either of us is superior compared to other, and if that is the case, either of us is superior, I _really_ would like to know how? Other example would be the way people are equal in the eyes of the law (ha like that is going to happen, I know that people are NOT equal in the eyes of the law, but let's assume that we live in an ideal world for a sake of argument).
IMHO arithmetics got absolutely nothing to do with the peoples relationships.
I think that men and women aren't the same, there is a significant differences between genders. We like different things than women (there you go, I am a man), and women like different things than us, for example I have never understood what is the fun in shopping and why one must spend at least an hour in front of a mirror before going outside. Still you have to love them and the differences between men and women is what makes things interesting and worthwhile.
By the way, have you ever tried to explain rules of football to a woman, I have, and believe me, I am NOT going to try to do it again. :) And that brings us back to things that are important. Football.
Cup of 86, ah the memories... Did England deserve to win, tie, or even be close in the match? You say no way, being an avid English football supporter (I blame the television, since our national broadcasting channel used to air first division matches on Saturdays, that was before premier league existed and the prices for airing the games weren't so high and all that crap...) I say yes way. But to be honest the second goal (I have a video clip of that goal here) was amazing display of talent, Diego Maradona was at that time one of the best football players on earth if not the best.
Still, I don't let the facts get in a way of my fanboism and I am bitter about that first goal. :) And if you think that speaks badly about me, then it is not my problem but yours. Since when we are expected to act rationally about football? Let me ask you, when a team that you support have lost a match, aren't you upset regardless the fact whether you were a better or worse team in a match?
I recognize the fact that handgoals are sometimes accepted as valid goals and that is the part of the game and that is the way it is supposed to be, shit happens like in real life, IMHO. When a referee says it is a goal then it is a goal, that's it no buts or ifs. So we agree on this thing.
Well you really can't say what the whole nations choose to remember and how they choose to remember things based on one individual. Especially in this case since I am not a English, I am Finnish as said earlier. I have no ties to England besides the fact that one of my friends lives and works in London. And I am sure there are people in Finland that support Argentina. Hell, some of my friends even support Italy, imagine that! :)
You might wonder why I don't speak about Finnish football, it is simple, it is shit. European championship tournament starts next Saturday. Even Latvia is playing there and Finland is not, for crying out loud! Not that is a bad thing that Latvia got in the cup, I think it is wonderful! And Riga is a beautiful city I were there on last July and I am coming back on this July. :)
So, Roberto, see you in two years in Germany! I am probably going there because it is not far a way from Finland.
And best of luck for qualifying games.
ps. Women. Loyalty. Oxymoron.
By 138 at Sat, 2004/06/05 - 5:00am
> Yes, he said: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
That is funny because I always remember trying to figure out what poetic meaning that was supposed to be when I heard it. (Yes, I remember watching it on TV and it sounded like "one small step for man".) Years later I heard that the transmission wasn't so good and that is what he actually said, which makes more sense. It is still today often misquoted.
This is actually a testament to how confusing English can be.

"anti-American propaganda"?
What propaganda? Only you're doing it by omitting stuff as "Please note, that this is not an official KDE users counter" and giving the impression of a widespread attitude in the KDE project ("feelings find their way into the project"). There are more important things your country should worry about like respecting human and international rights.

There's a reason I posted my commentary off-site on a privately operated and funded domain: politics don't belong in KDE or on the Dot. I'm not sure what makes you think your disagreement with *completely off-topic and unrelated* commentary is important enough to be posted here.
By Rob Kaper at Fri, 2004/06/04 - 5:00am
I guess you are right. I only wanted people to have an idea of what kind of opinions are regularly posted on your website, so they can read your KDE related post in perspective.
"I say that being born in a poor, backward country like Mexico is something no
American should have to endure."
"Homosexuality just might be the most destructive congenital brain defect
mankind has ever experienced. If only we knew for sure what caused it, so that
we could treat it and gradually end this source of societal decay."
And between statements like these, the speak about baseball...
Rob Kaper, do you agree with what Mr Stevens stated above, would you put
your signature under these statements?
By ac at Fri, 2004/06/04 - 5:00am
I do not post my politic views (or those of others) on the Dot. Besides, you know where to find the website where you can read my opinions on topics like these. After all, you've read it.
I like KDE and a lot of its contributors. Enough to have learned to respect that most people prefer not having to deal with politics when their attention shifts to the project.
Stop trying to enforce the very confrontations I'm trying to avoid. It is not going to happen, so give it up.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has confirmed on Monday (December 6) that the Wanderers will host the New Year's Test against India, starting on January 3 as they have announced the revised schedule.
However, Cape Town has usually hosted the new year's Test in the South African summer but as per Cricbuzz earlier, the Test was allocated to Johannesburg due to the logistical issues in the country aid the crunch time of COVID-19.
The tour will begin with the Boxing Day Test that is set to play at SuperSport Park in Centurion whereas Cape Town to host the third and final Test starting on January 11 as well. Notably, the series will be a part of the World Test Championship
However, after the end of the Test series, both teams will take on each other in two ODIs on January 19 and 21 in Paarl and 23 in Cape Town respectively as well.
And, as they have decided earlier, the four-match T20I series will take place later since the tour got delayed due to the sudden outbreak of the new Covid-19 variant, Omicron in the country.
"BCCI has confirmed CSA that the Indian team will travel for three Tests and three ODIs. The remaining four T20Is will be played at a later date," Shah told news agency ANI.

Q: How to match an express route using a positive integer regex? This should actually be a fairly easy question, but for some reason I can't get it to work.
I'm using Node.js along with Express's router.  I'm trying to capture a url like below:
http://localhost:3000/items/2
http://localhost:3000/items/35

I've got the following regex expressions.  The '2' route works, but the '35' does not and I'm not sure why.
router.get('/items/:id([0-9])', function(req, res){
    console.log("I work for /items/2");
});

router.get('/items/:id(^[0-9]*$)', function(req, res){
    console.log("I don't work at all :(");
});

The second route's regex works just fine when I test against https://regex101.com/#javascript.  I also tried the regex ^\d+$ which works at regex101 but not in node.
Am I missing something obvious?  Using "express": "^4.13.3" in my package.json.
** Update **
I used the regex's answer from this post to make it work: Regular Expression in Node.js Express Router
router.get('/items/:id(\\d+)', function(req, res) {
    console.log('I work!');
});

However, even when I added an additional '\' to make '^\\d+$', the route still didn't catch '25'.
** Update **
Looks like if I take off the regex anchors, '^' & '$', the routes work, but I don't understand why that would be.

A: I'm not sure how Express Router processes regular expressions, but in general, using the anchor '^' tells the regex that it should only match at the beginning of the string. So ^\\d+$ would match 35 but not http://localhost:3000/items/35.
If what you want is to match routes that end with a id, you shoud use \\d+$. '$' at the end means that there can be nothing else after the id.

The narrative of "Black Lives Matter" offers a new framework for policymakers, activists, practitioners, and other stakeholders to think about a public safety strategy that is not solely defined by arrests and admissions to prison. This essay provides an overview of evidence-based approaches for public safety interventions that exist outside of law enforcement interactions.

Pink's Kids Gave Her the Best Grammy Award
The Grammy Awards were filled with big wins and devastating losses, but one nominated artist won something way more valuable than a golden gramophone. Despite her IRL loss, Pink's kids gave her a Grammy Award — which they made themselves, of course — for Best Pop Vocal Album. And the craftsmanship is quite impressive, if we do say so ourselves.
"Thanks Kids:) my favorite kind of award," Pink shared on Instagram alongside photos of both Willow and Jameson holding the aluminum-foil trophy.

The singer, who was nominated for her album, Beautiful Trauma, ultimately lost to Ariana Grande, who won her first-ever Grammy for her 2018 album, Sweetener.
The hand-crafted award was just the icing on the cake of a great few weeks for Pink. Earlier this month, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where she gave her family the sweetest shoutout.
"My husband, he's so cute," she said. "He's my muse, and if he didn't piss me off all the time, I'd have not much to say. Thank you. I literally would not be standing here if it weren't for you, so never change. And my children, Willow Sage and Jameson Moon, you guys are my stars, and I would never shine without you. Ever, ever, ever."
Thank you to everyone who made yesterday possible ❤

Last Friday, Pink had the opportunity to honor country music icon Dolly Parton at the 2019 MusiCares Person of the Year ceremony in Los Angeles, where she performed "Jolene." Also in attendance were stars like Willie Nelson, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Chris Stapleton and, of course, Pink's daughter, Willow, who helped her mama get ready backstage.

This recent streak of good news comes after Pink's husband, Carey Hart, posted a few controversial photos — like teaching his daughter how to shoot a gun and allowing Jameson to sit on his dirt bike — on Instagram that got him into hot water with fans. Hopefully, this past week serves as a reminder to Pink that the most important approval doesn't come from bystanders but from her kids, who sure seem to love her very much.

The TPR 2017 Coaster Poll Results are IN!!!
First of all we'd like to thank the 366 people who submitted ballots to the poll. I'd also like to send a super HUGE thanks to Chase & AJ! Chase for creating the poll and AJ for being a fantastic moderator helping to contribute to the content side of it.
The reason why this poll exists is because the Mitch Hawker poll, which was IMO, the quintessential roller coaster poll for nearly 20 years seems to have fallen into a black hole leaving no polls or awards that exist that I would put real faith into the results.
The way Mitch's poll worked is that instead of being a "popularity contest" of "he who gets the most votes wins" it actually ranked and weighted people's real life riding experience against each other. It took into account how many coasters you've ridden and how those rankings compare against others with similar experiences. It also meant that no matter if you've ridden 50 or 500 coasters, the results were "fair and balanced." I will let Chase go into more details on how those rankings worked later in this thread.
I would also like to point out that while we consider this the "official ranking" of the TPR Coaster Poll we consider this year's poll to be a "live beta test" as we will learn many things from this years poll and make changes based off that learning for next year. Please also remember that the results can and will change the more people that submit a ballot! Your coaster riding experience matters! So if your favorite ride didn't rank where you hoped they would and you didn't vote this year, please do so in the next poll!
So without any further adieu, here are the results!
*Please note that some coasters were not included in the final results due to too few riders (less than 12.). Please visit the website to see how these rides *may* have affected the top 25 if they had more ridership.
† All four of these Intamin Mega-Lite coasters were ranked close together in the top 30. Based on their close ranking and identical ride experience, we have made the decision to tie all four together. This is the only "clone" we are doing that with this year and we may consider lumping cloned coasters together in future polls.
Once again we'd like to thank everyone who took the time to vote in the poll and help with the live beta test of this system. We look forward to continuing the poll in 2018!
Awesome! It's great to see Medusa Steel Coaster get Number 1 Steel! I was not expecting that. I also find it interesting that the top three overall coasters are wood! Sweet. Thank you to everyone involved with the poll!
I'm a bit surprised to see Maverick so high. I haven't ridden too many coasters, so I have to base my guesses off of what I've heard from others, but I thought that most people generally regarded GeForce (not to mention others) to be better than Maverick. Also I severly underestimated how much people like Medusa, I guess I'll have to figure out how to get to Mexico (not anytime soon though, I doubt my family's going to Mexico anytime soon ).
I like how 7 of the bottom 10 steel coasters are SLCs. I need to get out and ride one to experience for myself how bad they are.
Thank you to Robb, A.J., and Chase for putting this poll together!
thanks so much for hosting this Robb, and to Chase and A.J. -- FANTASTIC job guys!
nice that I've been on several of the Top coasters, and have only ridden 1 of the bottom (NYNY coaster in Vegas).
I do admit I'm kind of stunned that Millennium Force didn't crack the top 5, but maybe that's just because I haven't ridden some of those that ranked higher.
It's kind of funny that the best steel coaster in the world according to this poll literally has 'steel coaster' in the name.

I actually said exactly the same thing!
Why am I not surprised that Predator made the bottom woodie list.
Wow...go RMC. They really have taken over. Very pleasantly surprised to see TC rank so well!
Extremely interesting results! Thought we would see some park bias but that is not that case, shout out to the guys that made it!
any interesting trends seen in the data?

'Massive exodus' continues from active funds, and Vanguard is reaping the gains
Published Sat, Feb 18 2017 11:00 AM EST Updated Wed, Feb 22 2017 9:56 AM EST
Jeff Cox@JeffCoxCNBCcom
Vanguard: Active vs. passive should be reframed high vs. low cost
Squawk Box Europe
A buoyant start to the stock market in 2017 couldn't stop investors from ditching actively managed funds.
The trickle away from stock pickers and toward indexes has turned into a flood, with more than half a trillion dollars heading into passive funds over the past 12 months, according to Morningstar.
Active management in total saw $13.6 billion in outflows for January, mitigated only by net inflows to bond funds, Morningstar said. U.S. equity saw $20.8 billion in outflows, bringing passive management closer to parity when it comes to domestic stock funds.
By contrast, passive management saw just shy of $77 billion in inflows. U.S. equity funds, which track broad indexes like the S&P 500 and its sectors and subsectors, pulled in $30.6 billion for the month.
Overall, actively managed U.S. equity funds now hold $3.6 trillion in assets while their passive counterparts hold nearly $3.1 trillion. All classes of passive funds have seen inflows of $563 billion over the past year, while active funds have suffered $325.6 billion in outflows.
"The massive exodus from actively managed U.S.-equity funds continued in January," Alina Lamy, Morningstar's senior analyst for quantitative research, said in a statement. "The tidal wave is showing no signs of stopping, threatening all but a select few and making active investing a dangerous ocean to swim in."
The moves happened despite a strong January stock market that saw the gain 1.8 percent.
Vanguard has been a major beneficiary of the move to passive.
In 2016, the firm saw more net inflows than all of its competitors combined — $289 billion to $244 billion, Morningstar said. The firm took in another $46 billion in January that included $43.7 billion to passive products, a gain that pushed the firm past the $4 trillion mark in total assets under management.
Its next-closest competitor was BlackRock, which saw just shy of $14 billion in net inflows for the month.
"We are pleased that investors continue to gravitate to the Vanguard way of investing," Vanguard spokesman John Woerth said. "We firmly believe that our low-cost, disciplined, balanced investment approach gives our clients the best chance for long-term investment success."
Lamy pointed out that most months have seen red numbers for just about all firms in active management, but that was not the case in January. Along with Vanguard, which led the way at $2.3 billion, American Funds, Pimco, State Street and T. Rowe Price all showed active inflows, albeit in small numbers.
Leading asset management firms have been in a prolonged price war, fighting the trend to passive by lowering fees across the board and expanding their offerings in the burgeoning $2.7 trillion exchange-traded products industry. ETFs offer much lower fees, higher liquidity and tax advantages over mutual funds.
"Investors have been selling expensive funds and buying lower-cost ones, exerting pressure on the industry, in general, and on active managers, in particular, to lower fees in order to stay competitive," Lamy said. "Fees for both active and passive funds have both been going down for the past 20 years. However, there is still a significant fee gap between active and passive for both equity and bond funds."
Bond funds did well for the month, again defying years of "Great Rotation" predictions that money would begin moving in massive quantities from fixed income to equities.
Bonds gained in both the passive and active categories. Taxable bonds pulled in $32.2 billion while municipal bonds gathered $4.3 brillion.

Those are very sweet. My style as well!
They are so feminine with a Victorian flair.
Perhaps you have a 'magic closet'?
find something suitable. Whether it warm flannel for a nightie or crisp cool cotton for pillowcases or slinky fluid knit for a scarf!
I seem to have a magic stash too. Last spring I helped make costumes for a biblical pageant at church and was amazed at what I found to work with. Those curtains are beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Simple, but oh so very pretty.
It's like the loaves and fish of sewing supplies!


Scrap a photo of a place you love to visit.
Take a walk at a place near where you live and take some photos of your surroundings to make a layout.
Be inspired by the colours : greys, beige, stone, creams.
Scrap a photo which has no people in it.
As an extra motivation for this month, I'm donating a prize to celebrate my birthday - not sure exactly what yet, but I promise it will be some crafty gorgeousness which you will love! Just pop over to SJ Crafts and link up your project inspired by this challenge and you'll be in with a chance to win!
I used patterned papers from the MME Chalk Studio 2 Collection - I love the contrast of the blackboard effect against the chalky pastel colours.
The bunting was hand cut from the packaging - waste not, want not! - it adds a splash of chalky colour and covers the word "today" which I didn't really want on this page. I curled the tips of each piece and used foam dots to give them some movement.
The photos are printed out in black/white so they would all work together even though they were taken at different times, then they were matted onto some of the patterned paper.
The little word stickers and the number 2 were adhered to scraps of the paper, before being adhered with pop dots for extra dimension.
Why not have a go at this challenge yourself - pop over to the SJ Crafts Blog and link up, and you will be in with a chance to win that prize!
If you don't have a blog, you can still link up via the SJ Crafts Facebook Page - just post a picture of your page, then grab the URL for that post (right-click on the grey date/time under your post then left-click "copy link address") and paste that into the Mr Linky button which you'll find at the bottom of the March Challenge post on the SJ Crafts Blog - easy!
Love your CAS layout the photos look fab down the right hand side.
I love the clean lines Annie... you have still injected your sense of fun into this layout with the fun photos and also the little banner. I love it on the brown background. Great take on the challenge. Love it.

DELTA OIL is a modern oil company with a strong business concept, operating in several areas around the world.
The DELTA OIL group of companies is sharing a strong name in the world of oil and technology industry.
DELTA OIL makes the decision in 1986 to start a research programme in the area of tribology with fundamental studies making it possible to reduce the friction coefficient and the energy consumption.
After a period with the research programme, laboratory test and field test DELTA OIL could introduce a new product technology in 1990 with initial marketing in the Scandinavian region.
The DELTA OIL product technology has afterwords been marketed in a number of countries as well as continued development of better environmental solutions up to date has been a part of the programme.
DELTA OIL markets a complete range of high performance oils, grease products, petrochemicals, additives, special products, fuel additives, bio-degradable oils, etc. Our products are sold to businesses in the transport, contracting and automotive sectors as well as to general industrial concerns. Special oils are sold to the marine & offshore industry, as well as for use in aviation and airports. DELTA OIL has developed products which can be used safely in engines at high speeds and will reduce fuel consumption, maintenance and operation costs. DELTA OIL produces cleaner and longer lasting products which reduce friction thus lowering consumption and saving energy. We are able to supply the highest quality products to customers as they require them.
The production of DELTA OIL products, for the European market, takes place in Belgium and France in the factories which have the coveted ISO 9002 Quality Certificate by the SGS European Quality Certification Institute.
The DELTA OIL technology is on a high level when extreme conditions are present. DELTA OIL products are more universal in use, the friction coefficient is lower compared to conventional oils. The customer in general will get superior products to a compatible price with lower energy consumption, lower fuel consumption, better environmental conditions and longer lifetime on components. DELTA OIL products in practical use save money and reduce maintenance cost. DELTA OIL high quality products will secure production on all equipment, machinery and engines etc. in operation at any time.
DELTA OIL is very concerned about the environmental position of the planet Earth. Our contribution is targeting every product to exceed the highest environment demands. The DELTA OIL development of special fuel additives for Diesel and Gasoline has been reducing the release of unburned particles and NOx by 48%. The DELTA OIL product technology concerning lubricants is a reduction of friction coefficient by 50% leading to much lower energy consumption.


Kim Hollis: One of the biggest surprises in box office history occurred this past weekend as Borat earned $26.5 million in only 837 venues. How did this happen?
Reagen Sulewski: I expected this to do really well on the screens it had, but this was just flabbergasting. This was close to a wide release per screen record. Chalk one up for guerrilla marketing.
Joel Corcoran: I think it's a combination of a Sacha Baron Cohen's very strong fanbase, some brilliant marketing, and good timing for the release.
Tim Briody: It was marketed perfectly. Even with the limit of clips that could be shown on television, the guerrilla advertising and general nuttiness of it all just clicked with viewers.
Joel Corcoran: Though I was completely blown away by the extraordinary totals the movie received.
Kim Hollis: Borat was in magazines, on television, on the radio, standing on your front doorstep. It was the perfect storm of buzz.
Tim Briody: Well, *now* he has a fanbase, even if nobody could pick the real him out of a lineup since he's always in a character.
David Mumpower: Fox is getting assailed for the way they handled Borat's release, but the reality is that they made a savvy business decision. They saw that the film wasn't tracking well in mainstream America. Rather than release it ultra-wide and get empty auditoriums there, they sagely followed the Blair Witch Project release pattern. This was masterful.
Joel Corcoran: Cohen has always struck me as having a smaller fan-base, but very dedicated - and I'm one of them. His work as Ali G was just spot-on perfect satirical social commentary.
Kim Hollis: Yeah, but I really don't think he had $26.5 million worth of small fan-base. This was something more spectacular than that.
David Mumpower: I have never seen an episode of Ali G in Da House, but I did watch Borat opening weekend. The reason was because it looked new and fresh. The promise of a unique movie going experience was tantalizing.
Joel Corcoran: Oh, I totally agree, Kim. The marketing drove this movie, but I think the fanbase gave it a good starting point.
Please see my movie. If it is not success, I will be execute.
Kim Hollis: And truly, the commercials and clips were just hilarious. I hadn't seen a (new) movie in theaters since Talladega Nights, but Borat really piqued my interest. I guess I unconsiously just want to see Sacha Baron Cohen.
Reagen Sulewski: This got out to the same people that were huge fans of Jackass. It's a new breed of semi-documentary filmmaking that those demos relate to. It also didn't hurt that it's in the running for best reviewed film of the year.
David Mumpower: What I liked about the commercials was the "less is more" theory of showing just a couple of spots. Borat could have seemed overbearing otherwise.

My friend and I went to a winemaker in Burgundy once and we went into this cellar—four layers deep, hundreds of feet down—and there are these bottles sitting there that have mold growing over them, you can barely tell there's a bottle there. And the winemaker told us that every few years he drank a bottle that was made by his grandfather and his father—a 1912 vintage or whatever—and he considered that the spirit of his family were there in that glass of crazy Pinot Noir. That's a form of ghost, and I totally support it. – Tim Hecker.
