England Scratch Past Italy But Eddie Jones Slams Italian Tactics

... obstruct the England scrumhalf without being offside. England required a long time to get to grips with the situation, with French referee Romain Poite at one stage telling them: "I'm the referee, not the coach, you have to find a solution," after flanker James Haskell asked for clarification. The situation became even more bizarre when England briefly adopted the same approach at the breakdown in the second half. Jones, however, did not see it as a clever variation, comparing the tactics to Australian Trevor Chappell's infamous underarm delivery to prevent the batsman hitting a boundary with the last ball of a one-day cricket international against New Zealand in 1981. "That wasn't rugby today, if that's rugby I'm going to retire, I don't want to be involved in that," said the Australian. "If your halfback can't pass the ball, there's something wrong with the game. If the 10 can't see the ball, how do you play rugby. "We lost the ruck from the game and it ceases to become rugby so if you paid for your ticket, ask for your money back. "I can't ...

Trump Adopts A Fraught Label, And Historians Scratch Heads

... and legalistic meaning with the adoption of a 1794 law that set up a revolutionary tribunal "to punish enemies of the people" and codified political crimes punishable by death. These included "spreading false news to divide or trouble the people.". The concept resurfaced in a more benign form nearly a century later in An Enemy of the People, an 1882 play by Norwegian writer Henrik Ibsen about an idealistic whistleblower in a small town at odds with authorities and locals who, to protect the economy, want to suppress information about water contamination. The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 returned the term to the blood-drenched dramas of the French Revolution, with Lenin declaring in Pravda that the Jacobin terror against "enemies of the people" was "instructive" and needed to be revived, so as to rid the Russian people of "landowners and capitalists as a class.". Stalin, who took over as Soviet leader upon Lenin's death in 1924, dramatically expanded the scope of those ...

Investigations Into Public Service Bullying Only Tip Of The Iceberg, Say Experts

... within the public service, experts say. CFIA president and VP failed to properly investigate harassment: integrity commissioner. In the PHAC case, the executive is still employed by another federal government department. Sources tell CBC that department is Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada. In the other investigation, the president of CFIA at the time has since retired, while the vice-president of human resources was subsequently promoted to vice-president of operations within the same agency. David Hutton is an advocate for whistleblower protection. (Ryerson University). "The first thing that comes to mind is this is really just scratching the surface of the problem," said whistleblower protection advocate David Hutton, who believes these cases not only highlight the issue of workplace bullying and harassment within the public service, but also the ineffectiveness of the integrity commissioner's office in prompting any real action to curb this kind ...

Learn Linux By Rolling Your Own Distro

... the gcc C compiler. Some ingredients optional. LFS also covers a recent change to Linux that's been tremendously divisive: the systemd initialization system. There are two distinct versions of LFS, one with systemd and the other without. Most every major Linux distribution has embraced systemd at this point, but for learning purposes, it's wise to keep alive detailed discussion of how a non-systemd Linux system is composed for comparison. The LFS approach leaves out everything that doesn't absolutely need to be there, so LFS distributions tend to be highly compact, which helps when building an embedded distribution, especially when combined with the techniques found in Hardened Linux From Scratch. The unikernel approach could make it easier to embed a single application, where the app in question and its supporting libraries are baked into a custom Linux kernel. But existing Linux hands may find the LFS approach more familiar and easier to understand. Of course, LFS doesn't cover all aspects of modern Linux distributions. Package management , for instance, isn't a native part of any LFS-created ...

Potential Panther? Bucky Hodges

... would probably be Hodges draft floor. Once in the NFL, Hodges may not develop beyond a Joseph Fauria red-zone gadget, if he does not improve on his technique. He seems like a boom or bust player. Against Miami, Hodges finished with seven catches for 66 yards with a pair of TDs, giving him 12 catches for 145 yards with three TDs in a six day period (Syracuse, Miami). At the end of the first quarter, Hodges was called for a holding penalty while blocking a cornerback on a wide receiver screen. Midway through the second quarter, Hodges got open on a crossing route for a short touchdown reception. He later added another short touchdown on an inside slant throw. Hodges used his size to shield defenders and quickness to get open on a number of other receptions. He was open for a third touchdown, but the pass was overthrown through the back of the end zone. At this point, Hodges should no longer be considered a TE. The Pitt game was my fourth Hokies' game this season, and their passing game has never looked better. Hodges finished with six catches for a career-high 145 yds. In his __link__ ...

World Cup Scratch Bronze For Barker

Dickinson and Barker crossed the line in fourth, to move to 15 points but found themselves out of the medal positions. Gold went to Australia, with Amy Cure and Alexandra Manly crossing the line in second place in the final sprint to finish on 20 points - a deserved victory after they were the only team to win points on every sprint. New Zealand won the final sprint, the ten points allowing them to leap to second place on 19 with Italy crossing the line third and securing bronze on 18 points. Team USN.

81-year-old Japanese Woman Learns Programming From Scratch, Makes Cool Mobile Game

... called Hinadan. ▼ Hinadan, with an explanation by the creator herself. Every year on the 3 rd of March, Japanese people celebrate Girl’s Day (fear not, boys also get their own holiday on the 5 th of May – once called Boy’s Day, but know the more-inclusive Children’s Day) by decorating display stands with dolls dressed in Heian-era clothing, as seen in a recent cat-astrophe. In Hinadan (a mix of the words hina, a type of doll, and dan, meaning tier or level), the player must position 12 dolls in their correct position on a display consisting of four levels. Should a doll be positioned correctly, a noise is heard, and if positioned incorrectly, a really quite aggressive buzzer sounds. The game has been designed not to rely on lightning-quick reflexes or feats of dexterity but on knowledge of the festival and its traditions, providing edu-tainment for all. Should your knowledge not be up to scratch, there is voice guidance to help. If ...

Swedes Scratch Heads After Trump Says 'look What's Happening Last Night In Sweden

... to something he saw on television. During a rally in Florida on Saturday, Trump said "look what's happening last night in Sweden" as he alluded to past terror attacks in Europe. It wasn't clear what he was referring to and there were no high-profile situations reported in Sweden on Friday night. The comment prompted a barrage of social media reaction on Sunday, with hundreds of tweets, and a local newspaper published a list of events that happened on Friday that appeared to have no connections to any terror-like activity. On Sunday, Trump took to Twitter to explain: "My statement as to what's happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @Fox News concerning immigrants & Sweden." A White House spokeswoman, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, says that Trump was talking about rising crime and recent incidents in general, not referring to a specific issue. Donald Trump 's speech Saturday at a campaign-style rally in Melbourne, Florida, was filled with a number of dubious claims. Here's a quick round-up of his rhetoric - and the facts. We will examine these statements in the order in which he made them. 1. "The dishonest media, which has. President Donald ...
