REM, Red Hot Chili Peppers Stick with Warner Music
■Music
by Roger Friedman - March 1, 2011 12:35 pm
Hey–even though I criticize Warner Music all the time, I have to be fair–some artists are sticking with them to the bitter end. Over the weekend I ran into two of their biggest group's leaders–Michael Stipe of REM and Anthony Kiedis of Red Hot Chili Peppers. REM is getting ready for a big release in April. It's part of their famous $80 million advance from the mid 90s when the old Warner Music was going through an upheaval. You know, I love REM. Michael Stipe, sporting a bushy beard, told me the new music stays with WMG–"that's where our catalog is," he reminded me. Stipe says he's making a bunch of short videos with famous artists and filmmakers to along with all the new songs. Some of the new music was heard at James Franco's art opening with Gus van Sant. Meanwhile, Kiedis says the Peppers are recording now, and hoping for a late summer release. WMG has two opportunities here if they have any interest in staying alive. How about a little marketing? And I do not mean groceries.

I absolutely LOVE REM, whatever they do for there music has been thought out and is right for them I;m sure. I can't wait for there new release.
June is not late summer (( I hope it will be worth the wait
Kathleen Markunas
So looking forward to REM's new release. Stipe, Mills and Buck sound fanstastic! Anything Stipe does rings of class and creativity. Fans will truly enjoy the short videos as we are starved for anything from REM. How about a concert in the Midwest?
My grandson and I were in the store and in a loud bellowing voice announced, "Look, Nana, they named a soda after REM." How could I go home without a case of Orange Crush? WMG should also do some marketing. REM doesn't disappoint, they deliver. Their music lasts.

Jurassic Park '93 – An Amazing Movie, Even Today!
Leave a Comment / Dino Movie, Jurassic Park/World / By KensonPlays
Ah . . . Jurassic Park. Sometimes shortened to JP, it is my #1 favorite movie franchise of all time (How To Train Your Dragon is my #2 favorite franchise). What an amazing movie, even 29 years later! Its practical effects STILL hold up, to this day.
Sure, some of its Visual Effects can feel a little dated, but I would still consider the Jurassic Park '93 film one of the top 10 movies of all time. What's so great about it, you ask?
Jurassic Park Movie Splash
What Makes JP Great!
So, you ask, what makes it a great movie franchise? Well . . . the fact that a great director, well, directed it, is one! Steven Spielberg makes such great movies, like Jurassic Park, Jaws, Indiana Jones, and others! Not to mention they paired Jurassic Park with an amazing composer, the legendary John Williams!
Just because the movie was made way back in 1993, does not mean it does not still hold up even today. The visual effects are dated, compared to how powerful and fancy Computer-Generated Imagery has come along. BUT, its practical effects still do hold up to this day. Take a look at some of these Behind-The-Scenes shots:
Some Shots © Stan Winston School
Jurassic Park Broke Records!
Next year, on June 11th (2023), Jurassic Park will officially be 30-years-old! Wow. That's a long time for a movie to remain popular and still be a very popular watch every year. The movie even made around $914 million at the box office, in 1993! Converted for inflation, that's about $1,883,099,335 (one billion, 883 million, 99 thousand 'n 335 dollars)!
Jurassic Park also was a stand-out film because it was the first time that CGI, and human actors, shared the screen together. This allowed the audience to be drawn into an illusion that the dinosaurs' world, was real.
In comparison, James Cameron's Avatar made around $4,054,832,229 in today's US Dollar value. That's . . . a lot. It didn't just break monetary records, though. It also was considered the best use of Practical (which it primarily used) effects. It also beat Speilberg's own E.T.!
It Must've Had Negatives, Right?
While I agree that the phrase "everything has pros and cons" is true, some things don't have that many negatives that really are mentioned or well-known. For its time, it had some inaccuracies that were known in the Paleo community, even back in 1993. They called the Raptors, Velociraptors. That is inaccurate, they were technically the size of Utahraptors.
Sure, "Veloci"raptors does sound cooler, but this is a Velociraptor:
© Wikimedia Commons
If you take a look at the chart above, what they technically had were Utahraptors, NOT velociraptors. Velociraptors were closer to the size of your knee, or thereabouts.
We would highly recommend keeping an eye out on our blog here for posts on various Jurassic Park-related dinosaurs, like the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Spinosaurus (JP3).
If you haven't, also don't hesitate to join Kenson on his streams on YouTube (Weekends) & Glimesh (Monday & bonus streams) and hang out, and talk about this amazing movie franchise!

Testing burden in the banking sector due to technology fragmentation - Software Testing News
Testing burden in the banking sector due to technology fragmentation
FinanceUncategorized
It is feared that traditional software testing practices are becoming unsustainable as device and browser numbers multiply.
In a recent announcement, TestPlant explained that its research data indicates software quality departments in the banking sector are facing scalability challenges when testing applications due to the ever-growing range of devices and browsers. Conflicts between the need to roll out new applications and updates quickly, and the need to adequately test these applications, present an insurmountable challenge if manual testing practices continue.
Scalability challenges
A typical banking application (web or mobile) today will require approximately 200 test scripts to be created and run for each release. In today's highly fragmented consumer technology landscape, banks' quality assurance teams are generally choosing to test 15 – 30 of the most popular device/OS/browser combinations – for example, Internet Explorer on Windows 8, or Safari on an iPhone 6. Assuming just 15 combinations are tested, the time taken to manually test a typical release is more than 380 tester-days.
Subsequent releases typically add 10% more functionality, but in a purely manual testing environment these have to be fully tested again. This increases the time required to manually test each new release to 422 tester-days.
Manual testing no longer enough
"In the past, companies were only testing on very small numbers of device and browser combinations, which would take a much smaller number of tester-days for each release," said Antony Edwards, CTO, TestPlant. "This meant that banks could reasonably expect that a fully manual testing approach was enough, but that is no longer the case."
As fragmentation increases, all of these numbers will also increase and it doesn't take long to realise that testing departments will find it impossible to scale up manual testing processes. In five years' time, TestPlant estimates the number of testing combinations to approach 60. This would see the manual testing effort for an initial release rise to more than 750 tester-days.
"The problem is linear – for every hour it takes to manually test an application on one phone or browser, then testing more phones/browsers multiplies the time required," said Edwards. "Banks IT teams are struggling with this because they can't just keep hiring more people to absorb the impact of fragmentation – but their marketing and customer service departments can't afford delays."
About technology fragmentation
Technology fragmentation refers to the large and increasing number of different devices, operating systems and browsers being used around the world. For mobile devices this means multiple iPhone and iPad versions, many Samsung Galaxy models, Nexus, etc.
buy cialis generic yourcialisrx.com over the counter
For desktop applications, fragmentation refers to the many browsers and browser versions in existence, including all the variants of IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc. That's not forgetting the plethora of new point-of-sale devices and smart TV browsers.
To help provide some context to the scale of the challenge, consider Android devices alone. OpenSignal reported last year that it had recorded more than 18,000 distinct devices running the Android platform, and fragmentation is only increasing.
To effectively test a banking application, whether it be a mobile app or web-based interface, banks ideally need to test on as many devices and browsers as possible, but typically they only choose the 15 – 30 most widely used technologies. In the world of manual testing, where tests are conducted by human beings, even this fairly small cross-section presents a huge testing challenge.
Maintaining a manual testing approach means having to adopt one or more of the following unappealing options:
Pay for more manual testers, which has a significant cost implication.
Increase time-to-market (i.e. take longer to do the testing), which has a significant impact on competitiveness.
Test less, which will ultimately mean more errors in the app and customer service failings.
Automation is the answer to scalability issues
Automating software testing is the key to dealing with fragmentation. While there is an upfront cost, the costs scale much more favourably after that.
"The scalability question relating to the impact of technology fragmentation on software testing is undoubtedly addressed by test automation," said Edwards. "Manual testing has its place, but banks who want to stay ahead of the competition when it comes to the quality of their apps need to consider the right mix of manual and automation testing."

Perhaps bringing new meaning to the SAG Awards, Bradley Cooper found himself the unwilling participant of an awkward prank that involved hugging and his groin.
Cooper was on the red carpet talking to his co-star Michael Pena and acting legend Mandy Patinkin when the reporter rushed up and threw his face in Bradley's crotch. And he wouldn't let go either.
Let's just say it made everyone really uncomfortable.
The man who did the hugging was Vitalii Sediuk, a Ukrainian reporter who has been known for his strange pranks which he's put on at red carpet events before, like that time he tried to kiss Will Smith on the mouth and got slapped in the face. Or that other time he jumped onstage at the 2013 Grammy Awards and almost ruined Adele's moment.
Which begs the question, why do they keep letting him into these things?

Less Waste.
More Personal.
A Wardrobe for
Women on the Go.
We believe that the future of the fashion industry will look radically different than it does today. We aim to help build that future by pioneering on-demand manufacturing practices, maintaining a commitment to sustainability and female empowerment, and investing in the power of community and personal connection.
On-Demand is a method of manufacturing in which goods are only produced when they are required, rather than in large batches.
Most fashion companies produce large quantities of inventory, a practice that reduces per-piece production cost but often leaves them saddled with excess product at the end of the season. This extra product is put on sale, marked down repeatedly, and if consumers still won't buy, it's dumped in landfills or burned, adding significant pollution to our planet.
When you place an order with us, you aren't getting an item that's been sitting around poly-bagged in a warehouse for months. You're getting something made specially for you and only you in a vetted, ethical factory one garment at a time.
Discover our on-demand collection here.
Relaunched MISHA NONOO as an on-demand business, eliminating 90% of the waste contributed by the traditional bulk production business model. Partnered with a woman-owned factory in Shenzhen, China to pioneer a new way of making clothes, where the only garments ever made are the ones customers have actually ordered.
Eliminated plastics from our domestic shipments, moving to recycled paper envelopes and tissue paper and integrating a second round of quality control in the process. Partnered with FabScrap to recycle all residual fabric from previous collections before the on-demand model was implemented.
Introducing new sustainable fabrications from natural fibers, zero waste knit production, and additional website messaging to help consumers make informed choices about their purchase.
Ethical Factories:
It is absolutely non-negotiable that we only work with factories that conduct business in an ethical way, paying a fair local wage, with strict no child labor policies, and providing good lighting, ventilation, breaks, and all other basic elements of a healthy work environment. We visit our factories ourselves to ensure that these practices are carried out, in addition to considering third party accreditations.
A Note about Poly and Synthetic Materials:
We are actively working on reducing the amount of plastic in our supply chain, from removing plastic packaging to finding alternative materials and substituting recycled poly where possible. However, we have chosen to continue to utilize poly and some other synthetic materials in a small number of our legacy styles, as it increases the durability and comfort of the garments. Our clothes are designed to be worn many times over the course of a woman's busy life, and the fabrications must be able to withstand the wear and tear of a hectic schedule with ease.
We do offer a variety of pieces made with sustainable and biodegradable fabrics, such as silk, cashmere, and cotton. Click here to shop pieces made with sustainable fabrics.
As a company with a female founder, female leadership, and a mostly female staff, we feel the need for true equality in a very real way. We actively seek out and partner with businesses owned or run by women as both collaborators and vendors, making sure that we're putting our money behind our beliefs.
For a sample list of women-owned businesses and philanthropic causes we support, or to let us know about a business or cause you think we should know about, please Contact Us.
Our hope is that our pieces help our customer feel strong, confident, and empowered when she wears them. Shop our favorite power pieces here.

We believe that we are the future and that is up to each one of us to question assumptions, proactively try new ways to improve our business, and to work with an attitude of curiosity, finding new ideas in unexpected places.
We work in an environment upheld by trust, carrying our responsibilities with honesty and forthrightness, and relying on each other to bring our best to the workplace and to our customers.
Every decision we make is in service of the Woman on the Go, empowering her to live her best life by eliminating friction and creating a world of tailored comfort and convenience for her.
We think before we act, testing our ideas to prove their viability, and considering the impact to our customers, team members, and the environment. We can always answer "why" we have made a decision and never make an investment solely on the basis of trend.
We are courageous in our choices, unafraid to stand out and speak up for our ideas, and relish the strategy and hard work required to break new ground.

Days after this year's "Mass Games" debuted before North Korea's top leadership, the huge pageant has been put on hold after leader Kim Jong-un expressed his dissatisfaction, foreign tour groups said on Wednesday.
This year's show, titled "The Land of the People", had its premiere on Monday and was expected to run until October.
But Kim Jong Un "seriously criticised" the performance creators for "their wrong spirit of creation and irresponsible work attitude," the official KCNA news agency reported. Travel agencies operating tours to the isolated North have since been told that the displays would be "temporarily halted."
Koryo Tours was told that from June 10 "the Mass Games will be paused while some adjustments and alterations take place," general manager Simon Cockerell said.
No timescale for a resumption had been given, he added.
The "Grand Mass Gymnastics and Artistic Performance" features enormous numbers of people –– mostly students and children –– performing synchronised moves.
Behind them, thousands of others turn the coloured pages of books in sequence to create an ever-changing backdrop of giant images rippling across one side of the stadium.
Photos from the opening night at the cavernous May Day Stadium showed flag-waving and hoop-throwing performers packed around giant flowers on the arena floor.
"We are one!" the backdrop spelt out over a bed of flowers forming a rainbow and a silhouette of the entire Korean peninsula.
Another slogan read: "Thank you, Father Kim Jong Un!"
It is not known what raised Kim's ire but some observers noted that his portrait was used as a backdrop image, along with pictures of his grandfather and father, the North's founder Kim Il Sung and his successor Kim Jong Il.
It is rare for portraits of Kim Jong-un to be shown publicly and no statues of him are known to exist.
When the North's state broadcaster KCTV reported on the show Tuesday it did not carry any footage of Kim's portrait, although it did show him attending the performance with his wife Ri Sol-ju.
Young Pioneers Tours, another travel company, tweeted that the suspension was "due to #KimJongUn dissatisfaction with the opening performance".

I could not be more delighted to take part in the online book tour for Inspired Free-Motion Quilting by Bill Volckening and Amanda Leins. I have been itching to get my hands on this book for a while now because it combines some of my favorite things: antique quilts, free-motion quilting and Mandy.
I met Mandy at International Quilt Market in Houston the year our previous books were published. (Her: Wanderlust Quilts. Me: Modern Style for Girls.) Have you ever had one of those encounters and you just know about someone? Yeah, it was kind of like that. Little did I know that my new friend was an amazingly talented quilter and teacher — but I would soon find out.
And take full advantage of it.
Luckily for me, Mandy was okay with me occasionally picking her brain. I quickly learned that she had a way of breaking down quilting designs that made total sense for me. If I was struggling with something (ahem, feathers), Mandy would send me a sketch with little arrows so I could really see how to move and make the shape. It really helped me visualize how to go from Point A to Point Z and everything in between. Those same illustrations of the quilting designs are throughout this book and I think you'll find them just as helpful.
Inspired Free-Motion Quilting is like having Mandy right there, along with antique quilt eye candy that serves as the basis for the quilting designs. The anthropology nerd in me totally geeks out over the quilt history included throughout the book. The wool whole-cloth quilts, in particular, really spoke to me. I've always thought of quilts as being rectangles or squares, so seeing T-shaped quilts covered in a variety of quilting designs sparked some interesting ideas I may need to explore (my half-canopy iron bed with footboard would benefit from a T-shape).
But first, I will be adapting some of the quilting motifs to some of the tops in my queue. My eye was immediately drawn to the Swag (pg. 64), as well as the Pomegranate (pg. 74). I think both would be great in borders — an area of my quilts where I'd like to add a little more oomph. Normally, I warm up a little more before I try tackling designs but I was so excited, my hands started moving and the next thing I knew, I had a little Swag going on!
I've been working on a quilt project since late summer (a Jen Kingwell Spindrift quilt made with Tula Pink's De La Luna fabrics) and I can already see that some of the FMQ designs from the book can be adapted for those blocks. And now I'm kind of itching to try a whole-cloth piece (maybe with that Dream Big panel I keep petting).
Are you ready to be inspired, too? I'm excited to be giving away an e-book to one lucky winner! Just comment on this post between now and 5 p.m. EST on Sunday, 1/13/19, with your biggest quilting challenge. I'll use the Random Number Generator to pick a winner and announce it here that evening. Good luck and happy quilting!

Disclosure: C&T Publishing is also my publisher. I received an electronic version of this book as part of the online book tour. Opinions are solely my own.
When Judy Gauthier asked me to be part of the online tour for her new book, Quilts for Scrap Lovers, I couldn't say "yes" fast enough. I have a love-hate relationship with my fabric scraps. I love to find uses for them but they're weird sizes and — because I make a lot of garments — often they are oddly shaped.
Yet I can't seem to stop saving them, to the point that my color-coded scrap bins are stuffed to the brim. And don't even ask about the tubs full of scraps from my three books that I keep thinking I'll turn into the most epic scrap quilt ever.
I finally had a chance to dig into the ebook for Judy's book while traveling to and from Quilt Market and I knew this was the book for me. All the challenges I've encountered with my own scraps? She gets it and she tells you how to deal with them. She's not afraid to tell you what she's done wrong, too, which I love, like admitting that cutting her scraps into certain size pieces without a plan made things way too hard.
She breaks up the pieces into three sizes of templates (the acrylic templates are sold separately; you can also use acrylic rulers, template plastic or even cardboard to make the templates). Position the templates and cut, then reposition and cut again until all the usable fabric has been turned into pieces that are ready to turn into amazing scrap quilts.
Judy talks about mixing old and new fabrics, color, value, bias edges, balancing quilt layouts and more before showcasing 16 quilt designs that use actual scraps. Some of the quilts require background fabric but even those backgrounds could be made with something like a variety of white-on-white fabric scraps to really go scrap crazy.
I just love this quilt! And I can totally see making it in a mix of pinks and aquas, which are two colors I have more scraps than I can manage!

And now for the fun part: You can win your very own copy of Quilts for Scrap Lovers! Comment below with your favorite tips for organizing scraps and you're entered to win. Winner will be chosen via Random.org on Monday, Nov. 7.
When the Crafty Chica — aka Kathy Cano-Murillo — asked for bloggers interested in reviewing her latest book, I could not reply fast enough. Seriously. It was the Internet equivalent of yelling "pick me! pick me!" while raising your hand up in the air and jumping up and down.
Yeah, I'm not known for my subtlety. But I really dig Kathy's work; it's this uninhibited artful fun that I aspire to create but am too chicken to venture "outside the lines" to do myself.
Her latest book, "Crafty Chica's Guide to Artful Sewing," features 30 projects, everything from purses to wearables to home decor items. The book's subtitle — "Fabu-Low-Sew Projects for the Everyday Crafter" — should clue you in to the fact that many of the projects start with ready-made items like canvas tote bags, towels or curtains. I am itching to make the "My Life is an Adventure" Pocket Bag, which uses slide protector pages cut and sewn together to make a see-through tote with tons of tiny pockets to dress up with paper, vintage photos or ephemera.
If you're the kind of crafter who needs step-by-step photos or illustrations of the assembly process, this may not be the book for you. Many of the projects include only written instructions. Personally, I'm having a tough time visualizing how to sew the Chop Top Frock, which turns a man's dress shirt into a cute halter top (the directions never tell you what to do with the sleeves). This may be in keeping with Kathy's "kamikaze style" approach to sewing but it's a challenge to my ADHD brain. LOL!
The book is a visual delight and features lots of personal anecdotes and fun stories that bring a little bit of Kathy into your craft room. And the photography is colorful and fun, echoing the artsy feel of the projects. It's definitely an inspiring read for anyone who's interested in trying a less rules-oriented approach to sewing or who wants the freedom to embellish her heart — and more — on her sleeve.

Texas, for all its grand political history, has had more than its share of bad candidates, ranging from the benign but deluded, like 2002 gubernatorial candidate Tony Sanchez, to the not-so-benign but totally hopeless, like Craig James. Scattered among the political graves are several Texas politicians who got too big for their britches and decided they were fit, whether they had the résumé or not, to run for the highest office in the land.
This is the list Beto O'Rourke and Julian Castro, both polling at around the margin of error, are trying desperately to avoid.
Without further ado, here are Texas politics' grandest presidential failures:
What Does Beto O'Rourke Need to Do in the First Democratic Presidential Debate?
New Poll Gives Democrats a Lot to Be Excited About in Texas
Beto O'Rourke's Presidential Campaign Is Stalled in First Gear
1. Rick Perry, 2012 edition: When the then-governor entered the 2012 race for the Republican nomination in August 2011, he was the odds-on favorite, polling at 29%, according to CNN, 12 points ahead of Mitt Romney, his closest rival. Perry's campaign only went downhill from there. Multiple disastrous debate performances, including the infamous "oops moment," torpedoed his campaign, leading Perry to drop out of the race by mid-January, polling somewhere in the mid-single digits. Perry would eventually blame his performance on complications from back surgery.
2. Rick Perry, 2016 edition: Despite having burned whatever national credibility he might have had in 2012, Perry inexplicably decided to run again four years later. He made a little noise, calling Donald Trump a "cancer on conservatism," before bowing out meekly in September 2015. He did manage to get back in Trump's good graces, however, and is now, somehow, head of the Energy Department.
3. Phil Gramm, 1996's record breaker: Texas Sen. Phil Gramm got into the 1996 GOP nominating contest before anyone else, raised what was then a single-event record of $4.1 million at a Dallas fundraising dinner, according to The New York Times, and eventually spent more than $21 million in less than a year of campaigning. None of it mattered. Gramm crashed out of the race in February 1996 after having his campaign death warrant signed by Pat Buchanan, who beat Gramm in the Louisiana caucuses, the first nominating caucus held that year.
4. John Connally, the man who did all that for one delegate: Connally ran for president in 1980 after serving as Texas governor from 1963 to 1969. Despite making the cover of Time and spending the then-tremendous amount of $11 million, Connally got out of the race after having won the support of exactly one delegate and endorsed Ronald Reagan.
At a press conference with the man who would be president, a reporter asked Connally if he thought Reagan was the best man for the top job.
"I think he's the second-best man I can think of," Connally said with a broad grin, according to The Washington Post .
5. Ross Perot goes off the rails: It's hard to believe, given the recent hardening of America's two-party system, but Dallas billionaire Ross Perot, running as an independent candidate, actually led the presidential race for a couple of weeks during the spring of 1992. Before Bill Clinton won election in November, Perot would drop out of the race, get back in the race, blame his dropping out on a GOP plot to falsely out his daughter as a lesbian and host a series of homemade infomercials on national television. He ended up winning almost 19% of the vote but didn't come close to winning a state.
6. Ted Cruz, man, oh man: Not only did Ted Cruz lose to Donald Trump in the 2016 Republican primary, he also ended up campaigning for and supporting a man who implied both that Cruz's wife was ugly and that Cruz's father was involved in the Kennedy assassination. Cruz's second-place finish might not have stung as badly as Connally's or Gramm's no-shows, but video of him supporting the man he called a "pathological liar" will live forever.

When we created Le Monde du Sumo (MDS), our main goal was to create an easily accessible, free periodical, filling a void in French-language sumo publications. Therefore, our target audience was clearly francophone.
Only several months and a couple of published issues later, our modest repute had already began exceeding our hopes. Direct and indirect feedback from abroad began arriving. Interested sumo fans who didn't know (enough) French couldn't enjoy our articles. There was no English-language equivalent of Le Monde du Sumo; so, we felt we should offer our work to all sumo fans by publishing an English-language version of our magazine. So, Le Monde du Sumo in English (MDS-e) was born!
Work on MDS-e started auspiciously. A mailing group dedicated to its preparation was launched on St. Patrick's day, March 19th 2004. The goal was to translate the complete French edition and to publish it with just a couple of weeks of delay. Since an article on legendary ozeki Raiden from Le Monde du Sumo #2 had already been translated, it was the first MDS-e article published on March 30th as a teaser. The Raiden article was also a recruiting call for volunteers from all over the world to translate and proofread the articles. The call was heard; new staff quickly joined; and, work started immediately.
The MDS-e format was soon decided, perhaps a bit too soon. We discovered that the decision to present a complete translation in the identical format of the original was too ambitious. The April translation of MDS #3 proceeded in unison with preparation of the original; but, soon it became obvious that the MDS-e staff would have difficulties keeping pace, though everyone worked diligently throughout April and May. Upon MDS #4's publication, it was obvious that the concept of MDS-e would have to be changed if all translations were not ready within two weeks. Not ones to buckle under pressure, the MDS-e staff gave their all to meet the deadline. Heroically, the lone active proofreader, John Gunning, almost single-handedly proofread the whole two issues of MDS-e. So, when the deadline came, two issues were ready to be laid-out and published in PDF format. July was just starting; and, the staff felt very pleased with themselves, awaiting anxiously to see their work published.
Alas, instead of triumph, July brought disappointment… The person charged with preparing layouts for the English version was the same as had already worked on the layout of the original version and simply had too much work to meet all the deadlines. Finally, we had to face the fact that this format of MDS-e was not viable, as priority had to be given to the French version. So, the MDS-e staff was temporarily "laid-off" without a single issue of MDS-e published, but with a promise that the editorial team would find an alternative, if only not to waste the work already completed.
It was probably this first stumble in MDS-e's production that alienated several early volunteers; but, the remaining faithful refused to be discouraged. After a couple of weeks of discussion, the current version of MDS-e was decided on. Only the feature articles from MDS would be translated and published directly on our web-site in a special section. This more feasible process allowed a good part of initial translations to be used; and, the time required to publish them shrank to a practical length.
Starting from late October, the work on MDS-e recommenced. Finally, in early December, the first articles from MDS #6 were published on the web. After almost nine months of struggle, MDS-e lived! Work on articles soon became a smooth routine; and, even the neglected articles from past issues were eventually translated. When Le Petit Banzuke Illustré started with feature articles, it was suggested and agreed to translate them as well. Proofreading was made easier as the workload was divided among new volunteers.
But the original problem of MDS-e wasn't solved. There was still a solitary layout-man for both editions! Once again the publishing of finished articles proved to be the problem. Publication stopped again in the summer of 2005; and, this time the slump was compounded by the departure of several MDS-e staffers.
The articles that were already finished were published in late August and September; but, MDS-e now found itself without active proofreaders. With the editing team too busy with the French edition, and perhaps a little dispirited as well, nothing was done to solve that problem. So, although work on translations continued for several months, there was no hope of publishing them and all work finally ceased by the end of the year. The MDS-e mailing list grew silent; and. it seemed an ambitious project had met its untimely end.
In May 2006, breaking a five-month silence, a curious translator mailed the list to ask about the state of affairs. It was the impulse needed to start MDS-e moving again! It was finally clear that MDS-e could not go on without its own dedicated editing and layout team; so, as the veteran translator hated to see all that invested work and enthusiasm go to waste, she was soon recruited as an assistant editor.
So, a fresh recruitment call was sent and answered with familiar enthusiasm and alacrity. Some veteran staffers that were there from the start still remained and many new ones joined the work on resurrecting MDS-e. A new man to take care for web-layout was also found. Remaining unpublished articles were proofread and published, missed issues of MDS translated, and soon the backlog was reduced and finally disappeared. So, for the moment, the future of MDS-e looks bright!
The most important thing is that we had not lost our readership in the hiatus. We thank you, our faithful readers, for sticking with us, or for rediscovering MDS-e. You make our work worthwhile!
This wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for the devotion, often unrecognised, of all the past and current collaborators in the adventure of Monde du Sumo in English. So, to all of you a sincere THANK YOU!
Why did you join Le Monde du Sumo has become my best source of English-language Sumo information. To contribute is an honor and pleasure.
Why did you join Nicolas is a close friend and he needed help with some things I knew: translation and HTML. I'm no big sumo fan, however (see my article entitled "A novice's afternoon at the Kokugikan", in Le Monde du Sumo #6), I just like it more than most sports.
Favorite rikishi Kokkai, Tochiazuma, Iwakiyama, Chiyotaikai, I like pretty much everybody else too but those are my top favorites.
Why did you join I wanted to use my occasionally-neurotic American-English grammar skills for something useful. And, of course, I love sumo!
Why did you join Sumo needs as much exposure as it can get and I want to help be a part of that. I think it is fantastic that Le Monde du Sumo translates their articles and I hope that their work will inspire other sumo publications to translate as well.
Why did you join I wanted to help out.

I am pleased to announce the publication of a short piece in Converge Magazine, a periodical for young evangelicals based in Vancouver.
The article is concerned with what sociologist James Davison Hunter has called 'culture wars,' especially the notion that evangelicals in secular universities have a responsibility to take back academic space for Christ in a battle for the mind. After reviewing some of the prevailing evangelical approaches since the 1970s, I explain that these practices are not only naïve about the place of young people in universities, but that they may be distortions of Christian theological praxis. I base this article on a re-reading of what evangelicals call 'the Great Commission,' a quotation from Jesus at the end of the Gospel according to St. Matthew (28.18-20) where he tells his followers to go make disciples of all nations, baptize them into Triune life, and teach them to obey everything he has commanded. I propose that readings of the Great Commission have become distorted because they fail to read it in the context of Jesus' teachings in Matthew's texts. In Matthew, Jesus' call to repentance is to a kingdom founded on humility, charity, and forgiveness, with a mission that is based less on organized strategy as it is on living out this new mode of existence. Reflecting at the end on the notion of the 'secular,' I also make reference to the last chapter of Charles Taylor's A Secular Age as an alternative way through which the Great Commission can be practiced in secular universities.
The argument, of course, is nothing completely original and is part of a much larger discussion both among evangelicals and about evangelicals. Younger evangelicals have reportedly become disenchanted with the notion of culture wars, and books and blogs such as Rachel Held Evans's Evolving in Monkey Town, Jonathan Merritt's A Faith of Our Own, and Frank Schaeffer's Crazy for God are all good examples. These cases have also been highlighted in the flagship evangelical publication Christianity Today as a sign of a generational shift. Moreover, academic studies such as Martha Pally's The New Evangelicals (see The Immament Frame's blog series), Omri Elisha's Moral Ambition, and Christian Smith's Christian America have observed these changes, and even William Connolly–a political scientist who has not been known to be sympathetic to evangelicals–gives a positive appraisal of these re-formulated paradgims in Capitalism and Christianity, American Style. As for how Christians should participate in secular universities, there has been an ongoing discussion among theologians and social scientists in books like John Milbank's Theology and Social Theory, Charles Taylor's A Secular Age, Talal Asad's Formations of the Secular, Stanley Hauerwas's State of the University, and Brad Gregory's The Unintended Reformation. In other words, what I am saying here isn't completely new, but it is my own reflective theological reading of Christian praxis and positionality in secular universities.
My purpose in writing this article is to clarify my own positionality in my academic work for a popular evangelical audience. I began this project of public dissemination in a post I wrote for Schema Magazine, in which I detailed why being a Chinese Christian myself should not paste over my own personal intersectional complexities and thus continues to allow for what geographer Paul Cloke calls a simultaneous 'critical distance' and 'critical proximity' in ethnographic work. That piece was directed to a popular secular audience as an exercise in public academia, explaining my own social location in relation to my academic project to people who don't do academic work for their day job. In this post, I speak more directly to evangelicals who may assume that my project is to take back the secular university for Christ, clarifying my own theological praxis while calling my brothers and sisters to reflect deeper on Matthew's Gospel account. To address this audience more directly, I chose to publish popularly in an evangelical magazine, but I will reflect on my positionality to academic readers in a scholarly journal in the future. There is, of course, a great deal of precedent for academics in religious studies studying evangelicals to publish in evangelical magazines, including reflective pieces and regardless of their own theological orientations, such as those written by Christian Smith, Tanya Luhrmann, and Russell Jeung. Indeed, these are publics that academics studying evangelicals must engage both as a way of giving back to communities we have researched and by way of meeting our duties to contribute to public discourse.
I am pleased overall by the editors' discretion in preparing the piece for publication, especially by clarifying my meaning in several places where my language was more convoluted. One slight modification, however, that is a bit more significant is the final sentence in which it reads that we 'show this world another way of thinking and being, one based around His ways, rather than our own.' My original draft was a more direct quotation from St. John's Gospel (17.22-23) where Jesus prays for Christian unity that the world may know that the Father has sent the Son. As it is printed, it sounds like I am calling for Christians to be examples to others through their character. Yet as I read Jesus' prayer in John and Jesus' teaching in Matthew, he doesn't call Christians, including evangelicals, to lead from any moral high ground. Instead, the command is to simply be the church and live humbly in a sacramental ontology where justice is done precisely out of a humble spirituality and solidarity with the poor. This all said, though, the editorial choice is still sound if the reference to 'His ways, not ours' is taken from the words of the prophet Isaiah (55.8) where he discusses divine grace in calling out from exile a people that is marked by their new-found humility and charity. If that is so, the Isaianic passage's meaning converges with both John's and Matthew's Gospel accounts about practicing a radically humble ontology, and the sentence is not only clarified, but enhanced.
I want to thank Converge Magazine for printing this piece and especially to Shara Lee for encouraging this publication. As I wrote in the byline, my friends Sam, Diana, Anna, Karl, and Aaron were valuable advisors who sharpened the piece significantly. I am thankful to be able to publish to an evangelical audience, and I hope that the piece will provoke thought and stimulate further discussion on Christian praxis.


Advanced Football Analytics (formerly Advanced NFL Stats): Sportsman of Year?
As it turns out, I lost to LeBron James. Maybe next year.
As a consolation, Sports Illustrated was kind enough to do an in-depth article on analytics in the NFL, prominently featuring Advanced NFL Stats. Many thanks to writer Albert Chen who captured the concepts and background far better than many reporters. If you've ever wondered what the Taliban and Al Qaeda have to do with the creation of the win probability model, this article will answer your questions.
You'll have to buy it off the local news stand. It's in dead tree format only, at least for now (unless you're a subscriber). It's the double issue with LeBron on the cover, page 124. Grab a copy before my mom buys them all.
Congrats Brian, you definitely deserve it. Also please don't ever merge with Wages of Wins, they are the antithesis of everything you do here -- i.e. good stats work.
You have been an excellent protege.
Condolences on the loss to LeBron.
Let me know I will check the comments and If I don't hear back soon I will be moving on soon as I have already written quite a bit as sort of a rough draft of many of the things I want to cover.
Mike, no offense intended, but if you plan to write a book, I hope you use fewer run-on sentences in the book than you did in that post.
lol, yes. I would be a lot more meticulous about the editing of a book than a blog comment. The book is a final product. Unlike in a book, in a blog comment I can use additional comments after it's published. Upon completion of my final draft, I would also give Brian the final say over any editing if he has any interest and if he considers working on it but decides he doesn't like my sections of writing he can back off and keep his own.

Flashback: McConnell sister-in-law named to CCP bank board
Sen. Mitch McConnell and his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao
mitchchao by N/A is licensed under N/A
FPI / December 17, 2020
[Editors' note: Alert WorldTribune readers remembered this story from April 24, 2018 and have made it go viral.]
"In a panic" following the election victory of Donald Trump, China appointed the sister-in-law of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to the Bank of China's board of directors, the author of a new book on the monetizing of political influence said.
Angela Chao was named to the Bank of China's board of directors just 10 days after Trump's victory, said Peter Schweizer, author of "Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends".
Chao and McConnell's father-in-law, James Chao, also sit on the board of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation which is the largest defense contractor in China.
"So when [Donald Trump] gets elected in 2016, China is in a panic. So one of the things that happens is, they appoint, really, the first American, or only the second foreigner to the Bank of China," Schweizer said on the April 23 edition of SiriusXM's Breitbart News Tonight.
"Now, the Bank of China is government-run, government-controlled, is sort of the backbone of the Chinese government's economic diplomacy around the world. Ten days after Donald Trump is elected, they put Elaine Chao's sister – Mitch McConnell's sister-in-law – on the board of directors of the fourth largest bank in the world, which is run by the Chinese communist government. It's a shocking development, and, again, unprecedented in American history that you would have senior political leaders have immediate family members that are sitting on the board of foreign government-owned businesses."
Schweizer noted: "So Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, his wife Elaine Chao, who's the transportation secretary in the Trump administration, her family has deep economic and financial ties to the Chinese government itself. They are in the shipping business, and they own something called the Foremost Group, and really, in 1993, Mitch McConnell, as a senator, travels to China with his father-in-law, James Chao, as guests of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation."
He continued, "The China State Shipbuilding Corporation is the largest defense contractor in China, and the projections are that by 2030, if current trends continue, they are going to surpass the U.S. Navy as far as naval capability. Basically, what happens is, the China State Shipbuilding Corporation says to the Chao family, 'Look, we will build your ships. We will finance the purchase of some of your ships. We will provide crews for your ships. We will provide contracts for you to ship state-owned goods from state-owned companies around the Pacific. In other words, we are going to set you up in the shipping business,' which is exactly what they do, and, in fact, James Chao — this would be Elaine Chao's father, Mitch McConnell's father-in-law — and Elaine's sister, Angela Chao, actually joined the board, in 2007 and 2008, of something called China State Shipbuilding Corporation, CSSC Holdings, which is a subsidiary of the largest defense contractor in China. So you have this powerful American political family that is making U.S. policy related to China, related to trade, and other critical issues that is highly dependent upon the good graces of the Chinese government."
McConnell, Kentucky Republican, "has benefited because a few years ago, James Chao gave Mitch McConnell a gift between five and twenty-five million dollars that more than quadrupled his net worth overnight," Schweizer said. "So this is not just about Elaine Chao's family getting wealthy. That wealth has now trickled into Mitch McConnell's pocket, as well, and it's a huge problem because if you chart the positions that Sen. McConnell has taken on China over the last 20 years, guess what? Shock of all shocks, he has become increasingly soft as it relates to China, and I think it is directly related to the fact that he knows his family's financial future is tied to the good graces and good faith of the Chinese communist government."
Schweizer described the Chinese government as "freaked out" over the election of Trump.
"So the election of Donald Trump, there's no other way to say it, it completely freaked out the Chinese government because Trump has really been focused – whether one agrees with him on trade policy or not – he has focused since the 1980s on what he regards as a rising threat of China; whether it relates to trade, economics, or military power."


The project involved a new partnership with Totnes Town Council that played a part in it becoming the first Transition town council ('This is Devon' article).
A partnership with South Hams District Council provided solar-PV loans and grants for low-income households: that's 44% of the 141 solar-PV installations in Totnes & District.
We put solar-PV on Totnes Civic Hall.
We retrofitted the much-loved Dartington Village Hall, opened by Edgar Hodge and Eddie Guy in April 2012.

In April of 2015, on an ABC ,20/20: A Barbara Walters' Special Barbara allowed a child molester and her victim/husband to explain: "How Mary Kay Letourneau Went From Having Sex With a 6th Grader to Becoming His Wife." With that in mind, maybe Barbara would agree to come out of retirement to also explain how a woman named Brigitte Trogneux went from having sex with a 9th grader to becoming France's First Lady.
In 1993, Brigitte Trogneux-Auzière was a married 40-year-old mother of three, teaching French literature, Latin, and drama in an elite private school run by Jesuit priests. It was during her tenure in Amiens that Brigitte did the unthinkable and seduced a 15-year-old student performing in "The Art of Comedy," the school play she directed.
Now a 64-year-old grandmother-of-seven, Brigitte Trogneux's sordid love story is not unlike that of the ten-years-younger Mary Kay Letourneau who, as a 34-year-old married woman, with four children, started helping 12-year-old student Vili Fualaau "develop his drawing skills".
Unlike Vili, whose proclivity tended toward illustration, Trogneux, the daughter of millionaire chocolatier/macaroon-makers, thought Macron had an "exceptional intelligence". Trogneux has said that she was so impressed with Emmanuel's brain power, she felt as if she "[w] as working with Mozart". Perhaps Auzière slept with the boy because, in his presence, she was overtaken by the sound of violins and a harpsichord?
Either way, in France the age of consent rises from 15-to-18 if the older party has authority over the younger victim. Whether or not France's new first lady was actually having literal sex with her youthful understudy remains unclear. However, when asked for details by Anne Fulda, a journalist, and author of Emmanuel Macron: A Perfect Young Man, Brigitte replied, "Nobody will ever know at what moment our story became a love story. That belongs to us. That is our secret."
Whenever the crime took place, rest assured, Macron was still a schoolboy, which is why Brigitte's "secret" is so disturbing. One would think that even in Sexuellement libéré France, teachers shun sex with their students.
Nonetheless, at the start of the relationship, Macron, the son of two doctors, spent so much time with his middle-aged paramour, "rewriting the play's script", his parents thought he was pursuing Brigitte's daughter Tiphaine Auzière who was in Emmanuel's class.
Unlike Mary Kay Letourneau, whose in-laws reported her affair with Vili to the authorities, which resulted in Letourneau's arrest, and a charge of second-degree child rape, "Emmanuel's parents … did not lodge a complaint against Brigitte Auzière for corruption of a minor."
Displeased that his son's after school activities included things other than script revision, Macron's father asked the seductress who was the same age as the boy's mother to stay away from his son at least until he was 18. Brigitte refused and tearfully told her lover's father, "I cannot promise you anything."
Emmanuel's father and mother's false belief that sending their son away to college would end the inappropriate relationship was probably the only reason Brigitte escaped charges of statutory rape.
On the other hand, sex-offender Mary Kay Letourneau was less fortunate.
Immediately after Letourneau's first release from prison, on condition that she stay far away from her underage inamorato, and in direct disobedience to a court order, police found the demure pedophile in the act of being impregnated a second time by Fualaau in a mini-van with steamed up windows. As a result of that encounter, and before being reunited with the teen-of-her-dreams and finally settling down to raise their two daughters, Mary Kay ended up serving 7.5 years in jail.
With plans for more children and hopes of returning to private schools and community colleges to help other children "develop their drawing skills", Letourneau was released from jail in 2004, married 21-year-old Fualaau in 2005, and now works as a legal assistant.
Anne Bremner, an attorney who met Letourneau in 2002, said of the star-crossed lovers "Nothing could have kept the two of them apart." In like manner, Brigitte also romanticized seducing a child, destroying her marriage and family, and devastating her husband of 33-years as merely "Love [taking] everything in its path."
At 16-years-old Macron vowed to make the married mother of three his wife. So, after carrying on for 14-years while her dutiful spouse worked long hours; the year after Mary Kay married Vili, Brigitte divorced her shattered husband, Andre-Louis Auzière. Then, in 2007, at 54-years of age, a menopausal Brigitte, dressed in a short, white mini-dress, married her 29-year-old protégé in the same town hall where she wed her first husband three years prior to her groom being born.
To this day, Emmanuel Macron credits his wife with shaping him into the man he is. And so, the object of France's president-elect's mother fixation gave up making macaroons and, instead, has spent 20+ years making a Macron into a president. Thus, Brigitte Trogneux progressed from wife to mother to teacher to lover of a political Mozart who the new world order hopes will be the progressive remedy for European populism.
Think about how strange it would have been if Barack Obama had brought Marian Robinson to the White House as his wife instead of his mother-in-law. Meanwhile, France's May/December couple affectionately refers to each other as "Manu" and "Bibi", the latter of which means "grandma" in Swahili.
In the end, Mary Kay Letourneau gave birth to the second of Vili's daughters behind bars.
But for Brigitte "Mme Robinson" Trogneux things have turned out quite different. After being part-and-party to a decades-long sex scandal, President Oedipus's wife won't be going to jail. Instead, Trogneux will be rewarded for her indiscretions with the title of France's First Lady and will live with Manu like a queen in Élysée Palace.

Preparation – Talk to the Coordinator from last year to ask questions and exchange ideas about what parent involvement looks like at your school and how it can be made even better. Review his/her procedure book and other materials such as school policies on volunteers and parent involvement to better understand the scope of your new position.
Assessment – Get together with your PTA president, principal and lead teachers or department heads to identify the ways and options available for parents to assist with classroom activities, field trips and school events for the upcoming year. Develop a general list of volunteer opportunities to share with Room Representatives to help them get started.
Contacts – Maintain a list or database with the names and contact information of Room Representatives. Work with school staff to obtain this information for PTA use only and remember to keep it confidential.
Welcome – Develop and implement an outreach plan to introduce yourself, welcome Room Representatives in home languages and provide a general overview of why parent involvement matters and what it looks like at your school.
Train – Hold a Room Representative orientation at the start of the school year. Provide handouts for the meeting with job descriptions and tips on how to promote inclusion so all families feel welcome and encouraged to get actively involved at school. Include information on school policies, school and PTA calendars and contact information for the PTA board, teachers and other Room representatives in the orientation packets. Invite your PTA president and principal to the meeting to welcome everyone and talk about the important role of Room Representatives at your school.
Connect – As a PTA committee chairman or officer, keep everyone in the loop by holding committee meetings of Room Representatives, facilitating grade level information meetings for parents and providing reports at PTA meetings during the school year.

TestMax Nutrition is a male chemical messenger optimizing nutrition system designed by Clark Bartram for men over age 40. It is a sustainable, delicious, and straightforward meal plan that is specially designed to enhance male energy production through nutrition alone.
TestMax Nutrition also helps men get rid of their belly fat and sustain their new weight after they complete the 3 phase 90 day system. Clark Bartram says his program is all natural and focuses completely on proven ingredients and foods; therefore, there is no need for endless doctor appointments or a lifetime dependence on chemical messenger therapy.
Clark Bartram discovered that the key to supporting continued chemical messenger production in older men lies in consuming particular energy regulating foods. These are foods rich in energy boosting ingredients and female energy blocking nutrients.
TestMax Nutrition is unique compared to many other diet programs because it emphasizes on boosting the body's chemical messenger levels while reducing female energy and other energy blocking substances using deliciously cooked meals. It addresses the core reason why older men are gaining weight and losing muscle strength using simple-to-follow meal plans as opposed to tedious body exercises, eating tasteless "healthy" foods, and using chemical messenger injections.
Men over age 40 who are interested in learning more about TestMax Nutrition by Clark Bartram can visit the official Test Max company website to get the full details including the current price and potential discount promotions.

Q: Python Dynamic Test Plan generation I am using Sphinx for documentation and pytest for testing.
I need to generate a test plan but I really don't want to generate it by hand.
It occurred to me that a neat solution would be to actually embed test metadata in the tests' themselves, within their respective docstrings. This metadata would include things like % complete, time remaining etc. I could then run through all of the tests (which would at this point include mostly placeholders) and generate a test plan from them. This would then guarantee that the test plan and the tests themselves would be in sync.
I was thinking of making either a pytest plugin or a sphinx plugin to handle this.
Using pytest, the closest hook I can see looks like pytest_collection_modifyitems which gets called after all of the tests are collected.
Alternatively, I was thinking of using Sphinx and perhaps copying/modifying the todolist plugin as it seems like the closest match to this idea. The output of this would be more useful as the output would slot nicely in to the existing Sphinx based docs I have though there is a lot going on in this plugin and I don't really have the time to invest in understanding it.
The docstrings could have something like this within it:
:plan_complete: 50 #% indicator of how complete this test is
:plan_remaining: 2 #the number of hours estimated to complete this test
:plan_focus: something #what is the test focused on testing

The idea is to then generate a simple markdown/rst or similar table based on the function's name, docstring and embedded plan info and use that as the test plan.
Does something like this already exist?

A: In the end I went with a pytest based plugin as it was just so much simpler to code.
If anyone else is interested, below is the plugin:
"""Module to generate a test plan table based upon metadata extracted from test
docstrings. The test description is extracted from the first sentence or up to
the first blank line. The data which is extracted from the docstrings are of the
format:

    :test_remaining: 10 #number of hours remaining for this test to be complete. If
                     not present, assumed to be 0
    :test_complete: #the percentage of the test that is complete. If not
                    present, assumed to be 100
    :test_focus: The item the test is focusing on such as a DLL call.

                        plan_info[key] = plan_handlers[key](val)
        return plan_info

From my conftest.py file, I have a command line argument configured within a pytest_addoption function: parser.addoption('--generate_test_plan', action='store_true', default=False, help="Generate test plan")

And I then configure the plugin within this function:
def pytest_configure(config):
    output_test_plan_file = Path('docs/source/test_plan.rst')
    class CustomPlan(GeneratePlan):
        def item_filter(self, items):
            return (i for i in items if 'tests/hw_regression_tests' in i.nodeid)

    if config.getoption('generate_test_plan'):
        config.pluginmanager.register(CustomPlan(output_file=output_test_plan_file))
        #config.pluginmanager.register(GeneratePlan())

Finally, in one of my sphinx documentation source files I then just include the output rst file:
Autogenerated test_plan
=======================

The below test_data is extracted from the individual tests in the suite.

.. include:: test_plan.rst

A: We have done something similar in our company by using Sphinx-needs and Sphinx-Test-Reports.
Inside a test file we use the docstring to store our test-case incl meta-data:
def my_test():
    """
    .. test:: My test case
       :id: TEST_001
       :status: in progress
       :author: me

       This test case checks for **awesome** stuff.
    """
    a = 2
    b = 5
    # ToDo: chek if a+b = 7

Then we document the test cases by using autodoc.
My tests
========

.. automodule:: test.my_tests:
   :members:

This results in some nice test-case objects in sphinx, which we can filter, link and present in table and flowcharts. See Sphinx-Needs.
With Sphinx-Test-Reports we are loading the results into the docs as well:
.. test-report: My Test report
   :id: REPORT_1
   :file: ../pytest_junit_results.xml
   :links: [[tr_link('case_name', 'signature')]]

This will create objects for each test case, which we also can filter and link.
Thanks of tr_link the result objects get automatically linked to the test case objects.
After that we have all needed information in sphinx and can use e.g. .. needtable:: to get custom views on it.

San Francisco Giants' manager Gabe Kapler kneels during the national anthem prior to an exhibition baseball game against the Oakland Athletics, Monday, July 20, 2020, in Oakland, Calif. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)OAKLAND, Calif. San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler and several of his players knelt during the national anthem before Monday night's exhibition game against the Oakland Athletics. Kapler, beginning his first season managing the Giants after two disappointing years guiding the Phillies, didn't discuss his plans to kneel in a pregame session with media members. Kapler has been outspoken about social injustice and racial issues and athletes' roles in helping spur positive change. Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick started taking a knee during the national anthem in 2016 to protest racial inequality and police mistreatment of minorities. Former A's catcher Bruce Maxwell in 2017 became the first major leaguer to kneel for the anthem since Kaepernick began his silent protest.
Giants rookie Davis appreciates support in taking a knee
The Giants were playing an exhibition game at Oakland on Monday night with no fans after a months-long delay caused by the coronavirus pandemic. It turned out Davis had all kinds of support on every side of him, including from first-year San Francisco manager Gabe Kapler, who also took a knee before the Giants' 6-2 victory. So did first base coach Antoan Richardson, while shortstop Brandon Crawford stood between Davis and Richardson with a hand on each man's shoulder. The 26-year-old Davis, who is Black, said it was a difficult decision to kneel given he is a rookie. Then Yastrzemski and Hunter Pence pulled him aside and assured the right fielder they would support him regardless.
