Coronavirus: Cameroonian government is confused
The Secretary General of the Prime Minister's Services has just published a new press release which brings accommodation to the first exit of his boss.
There is a great improvisation in government communication especially regarding the spread of the coronavirus in Cameroon. On March 17, the Cameroonian authorities took salutary measures. An initiative of Paul Biya, President of the Republic of Cameroon, presented by the Prime Minister, head of government. This, during a press briefing in Yaoundé.
In the opinion of several observers, these measures are slapped on the French model. Countries where nearly 175 people have already died from the disease. Among these measures is the closure of land, air and sea borders. But also, the closure of all schools ... for his part, the Minister of Justice orders the suspension of all hearings and the closure of all courts for a month.
Measures not widely respected by the population. The Prime Minister has just remedied it. In a press release on March 18, 2020, Séraphin Magloire Fouda recognizes "that a certain number of difficulties are observed in the implementation of some measures". In this endeavor, the "confinement" period is limited to 15 days. After this period, all establishments must reopen.
The new measure of the primature orders the reopening of the courts. However, they cannot accommodate more than 50 people. On the other hand, trade will continue. Particularly with neighboring countries like Nigeria. Cameroon already records 13 cases of positive coronavirus. Among these two are already out of danger. The government is counting on strict compliance with its various measures to avoid the worst.

Q: Visual Studio 2022 CPU Usage frozen at preparing data step I am trying to look at CPU usage with Visual Studio 2022, and I have done this before in Visual Studio 2017 without any issue, but in 2022 so far it has always gotten stuck at the preparing data step. When I hit a break point I get this view

I've tried simplifying my program to make sure there isn't something weird in my code causing problems, but I get that same window just infinitely spinning in circles when I tried to profile this code
var counter = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < 999; i++)
{
    counter += i;
}
Console.WriteLine(counter);

I've had issues with this in a .net 6.0 console app, and a wpf app targeting 4.7.2
This is my Visual Studio info

Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022
Version 17.0.5
VisualStudio.17.Release/17.0.5+32112.339
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.8.04084
Installed Version: Professional

A: This is potentially something that was broken in 17.0.5, usually there is a yellow flag notifying if an update is available, but when I manually checked for an update I found I could update to 17.1.1
After updating to 17.1.1 the CPU usage feature is working as expected.

40 Rowdy Vladimir Putin Facts You Will Love
Last Updated On: June 27, 2021 by Oliver
Russian Federation's top dog, Vladimir Putin had his influence over Russia well before he was elected as President.
Because of his dominance, he is often accused that he piloted the nation from being a liberal democracy to an autocratic state.
Several political commentators have tagged Putin as a dictator of the modern day Russia, because Putin has been blamed for passing anti-liberal laws, rigging votes during elections and of course, invading territories in Georgia and Ukraine.
In this article on Vladimir Putin facts, we are going to learn some very interesting facts about Putin and take a peek into his life.
Vladimir Putin Facts: 1-5
1. Full name of Vladimir Putin is Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. He was born in Leningrad (now renamed as St. Petersburg), Russia on October 7, 1952.
2. He was born in a poor family. His father's name was Vladimir Spiridonovich Putin and his mother's name was Maria Ivanovna Shelomova.
3. His wife's name is Lyudmila Shkrebneva (Putina). He has fathered two daughters with Lyudmila, whose names are Yekaterina Putina and Mariya Putina.
4. Putin's mother Maria survived the Siege of Leningrad by Finnish and German troops between 1941 and 1944. During the siege period, wall supplies to Leningrad were cut off, starving and killing about a million people. One of the elder brothers of Putin also perished during that siege. Putin was not yet born then.
5. A communal apartment block was where Putin lived with his siblings and parents. During his childhood, Putin used to hunt rats in the stairwell of his residence. This is what he revealed in his official biography.
Vladimir Putin Facts: 6-10
6. During puberty, Putin realized that the other male teenagers were growing up fast. In order to not be bullied by them, he started learning judo and by the time he was 18, he achieved a black belt.
7. Not only Judo, he even learned Samozashchita Bez Oruzhiya – popularly known as Sambo – a Russian martial art.
8. Nothing is known about his daughters Yekaterina Putina and Mariya Putina. There are no family photographs ever published. Their life remains a complete secret. Both daughters were born in East-Germany's Dresden during the mid-1980s.
9. Putin is very fond of dogs. He has several of them. In 2007, Putin was blamed for scaring Angela Merkel – the German Chancellor. Putin and Angela were in a diplomatic meeting to discuss Russia supplying energy to Germany. Putin was aware that Angela was very afraid of dogs as she was bitten by one when she was a child. Still, Putin brought his black Labrador to the meeting.
10. In 2011, he supposedly discovered Greek vases dating back to 6th century BCE while diving in the Black Sea. Two months later it just turned out that the vases were already found and the archeologists were paid to deliberately put the vases there so that Putin could recover them.
Vladimir Putin Facts: 11-15
11. On his 62nd birthday in 2014 an artist created and displayed an art collection which depicted the 12 Labors of Putin. Sounds like you have heard it before somewhere? Remember the 12 Labors of Hercules? 12 Labors of Putin is an ode to that. The artist depicted Putin shooting down American fighter planes using a bow and arrows, strangling terrorists with bare hands and more.
12. As if 12 Labors of Putin was not enough, Grozny natives who adore their nation's head actually created a 2000-foot-long Russian flag by wearing dresses of different colors. They even made a huge banner which had a cartoon of Barack Obama wearing a T-shirt with a picture of Putin on it. The banner was hung from a bridge.
13. In 2010 when the Ryazan region in Moscow came under wildfire, attempts were made to put off the fire using fire-fighting planes. Putin copiloted one such plane. Basically all he did was to push the button that released the stored water on the fire below.
14. Putin's grandfather, Spiridon Ivanovich Putin, was Vladimir Lenin's cook at Lenin's house, Gorki. After Lenin died, Spiridon Ivanovich Putin continued to cook meals for several other Soviet leaders, including Joseph Stalin.
15. Putin worked as a foreign intelligence officer for the KGB. His service tenure in that rank was 16 years. During that period, he became Lieutenant Colonel and eventually resigned from KGB in 1991.
16. During his tenure with KGB, Putin was sent to East Germany's Dresden as a translator, but was actually an undercover agent. He stayed there from 1985 to 1990.
17. The Fall of the Berlin Wall began on 9th November 1989. During that period, in order to avoid demonstrators from obtaining KGB files, he burned the files.
18. Once the Communist East German government collapsed, Putin returned to Leningrad and in June 1991 and started working in KGB's International Affairs section. In August 1991 he resigned when the abortive putsch against Mikhail Gorbachev (the then Soviet President) started with the support from KGB.
19. According to Putin, the end of the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republic or simply, Soviet Union) was the 20th century's greatest geopolitical catastrophe.
20. Though Putin is beyond the nostalgia for the USSR, he definitely has great affinity for USSR's symbols of power. No wonder, he reintroduced the Soviet anthem (however, he had the lyrics changed).
21. Steven Seagal and Vladimir Putin are longtime pals. Putin is so fond of this former action hero that he once proposed to the USA to make Seagal Russia's honorary consul in Arizona and California. Did it work out? Well, Barack Obama said in response, 'You've got to be kidding me'.
22. Putin plays ice hockey and practices for hours in an ice rink outside town. Does he love that sport? We don't know! But we do know that ice hockey being Russia's national sport, playing it will gain sympathy points just as in case of Germans who happen to love soccer.
23. He loves adventures quite a lot. No wonder in 2013, he went 200 feet underwater (of course in a submersible) in the Gulf of Finland to pay a 140 years old shipwreck a visit.
24. He is good at fishing too! In 2013 again, he was on a fishing trip to Siberia where he managed to catch a 46-pound pike, making it one of the biggest catches in the world. Some anglers however say that the fish was probably half the weight that was claimed.
25. For the sake of science, he uses crossbows to shoot whales. What's that? In 2010 he and his marine biologist friends were kind of hanging out in the ocean when they spotted a gray whale. The scientists wanted to take skin samples so that they could study the species properly. Putin decided to immobilize the whale for some time and shot it with a crossbow. It took him only the fourth try to hit the whale.
26. For publicity or whatever, Putin likes photo ops. In 2010, he was captured on camera putting a satellite tracking device to the neck of a polar bear. That was in Russia's far north and was merely assisting in research on polar bears.
27. He even met Mongol in 2010. Who is that? Mongol is the name of a snow leopard. It is blamed that Mongol was held captive for 5 days in a location that was 100 miles away from its natural habitat only to make sure that Putin could come and visit him (and of course, be photographed). Now, Putin actually oversees a number of research programs on various mammals that include polar bear and beluga whale and as well as wild cats. Putin symbolically released Mongol.
28. Kremlin Youth Camp received a visit from Putin in 2012. Putin did a number of things there including scaling a climbing wall and participating in arm wrestling. He did something else too! He attempted bending a frying pan using his bare hands! It is not very clear whether he succeeded in doing so or not.
29. You know about F1 racing cars right? Putin took one out on the tracks of St. Petersburg in 2010. It was a brand new car from Renault. Nothing really happened, except that he rolled the car for hours hitting the speed of 150 miles an hour. It was a test drive and he wore a helmet that boasted the images of a double-headed eagle (Russian symbol) and Russian Flag.
30. Enough of his macho side. Here is more of his actual abilities – he becomes nervous when it comes to speaking English, but he is perfect when it comes to speaking German.
31. After Putin resigned from the KGB, he joined politics at St. Petersburg. In 1996, however, he moved to Moscow. Boris Yeltsin appointed Putin as deputy head of management in 1998.
32. Shortly after that, Yeltsin appointed Putin as Federal Security head (Federal Security was an arm of the former KGB). Putin also became head of the Security Council of Yeltsin.
33. In August 1999 when Yeltsin dismissed Sergey Stapashin (the then Prime Minister) and his entire cabinet, Putin was promoted to the position of Prime Minister.
34. In December when Yeltsin resigned from the post of President, Putin was appointed as acting President until the next formal elections scheduled for March 2000.
35. In 2000 he won the Presidential election and then won it again in 2004. Because of term limits mandate, it was not possible for Putin to run for a third term as President. He ensured that Dmitry Medvedev, his protégé became the President and Putin became the Prime Minister again. Putin again ran for Presidential post in 2012 and won it.
36. During his first Presidential term, Russian economy grew steadily for 8 years straight (remember he was President for 8 consecutive years). GDP of Russia grew by 72% (measured in terms of purchasing power).
37. Putin was named as Person of the Year by Time Magazine in 2007.
38. For three consecutive years (2013-2015), Forbes put him in #1 position on the list of Most Powerful People in the world.
39. Time Magazine, in 2015, put Putin in #1 spot on the list of Most Influential People in the world.
40. Putin had two elder brothers. Their names were Albert and Victor. Albert died during infancy. Victor survived only to die of diphtheria during the Siege of Leningrad.

This picturesque vineyard established by Russell and Linda Hubbard is situated 19Kms along the scenic Scotsdale Road tourist Route in Denmark, W.A. It's valley aspect with rich Karri loam's and gravely soils combined with the north facing slopes of the Bennett Ranges makes this site an ideal location for growing cool climate wine grapes.
On the 1st January 2000 the Hubbard Family exchanged the hustle and bustle of the city for the pristine environment of Denmark. Their dream was to produce premium wines and to accomplish this they adopted a "No Compromises" ethos.
2007 saw the official opening of our Cellar Door and Reception area which was constructed by Kosters Construction of Albany. They exceeded our expectations by doing an amazing job. The scope of works required complex engineering by combining two existing buildings to create a new barrel room, main winery work area as well as the cellar door, commercial kitchen and function area. The work was done to such a high calibre that we never had to call Kosters back to do any maintenance. Its has been, and continues to be everything we ever wanted.
By late 2000 they had completed planting the vineyard to Merlot, Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Hubbard's believe there is middle ground between organic and contemporary viticultural practices and have proven that by combining both disciplines sensibly, they can produce stunning fruit.
Having planted the Estate Vineyard they then constructed an Estate Winery in which their winemaker Mr. John Wade has complete control throughout the winemaking process. James Halliday quotes John Wade as being "arguably the most experienced Winemaker in Western Australia".
The combination of Russell and Linda's passion, hard work and total commitment to viticultural excellence and John's unrivalled winemaking ability is evidenced by their premium wines.
…on the left are the Merlot vines as babies and just 4 years old. They are now 18 and all grown up.
Rickety Gate Wines was named after the previous owner of the property, John Ricketts and the locals around Denmark know John as "Ricketty" hence the name.
His father, Jack F Ricketts was one of Denmark's best known and respected rural retailers, providing support to many struggling farmers during the depression years. The Ricketts family still owns and manages the business. A visit to Rickety Gate Wines will showcase a superb range of wines, magnificent Cellar Door all situated in a picturesque country setting and the warmest welcome you'll find around Denmark.

\section{Introduction}

 Spite \& Spite (1982) discovered  the presence of Li  in the
 warm halo  dwarfs at a constant value (the Spite {\it plateau})
 and suggested that it  is the
  primordial Li, i.e. Li synthesized in the Big Bang.
 The knowledge of primordial
Li   is  of far reaching  cosmological  relevance
  since
 it  is a function of $\eta\equiv n_b/n_\gamma$, the
 baryon to photon ratio, which is related to total baryonic density
by $\Omega_{B} h^2=0.0066 \eta_{10}$.
 The Spite \& Spite   findings have
 been  confirmed by a number of investigations and
  Li is now measured in somewhat  one hundred
of halo dwarfs (see Ryan et al 1996 and references
therein) including  stars with
  metallicities down to [Fe/H]$\approx -4.0 $ and
 few turn-off globular
 cluster stars (Molaro \& Pasquini 1994; Deliyannis et al 1995;
Pasquini
\& Molaro 1997).
 Only very few stars  have been found with a Li abundance much less
 than the
 {\it plateau} value.
The substantial flatness of the {\it plateau}  and the
remarkable  absence of
  any  scatter in the Li abundance   have been recently confirmed by means
 of an accurate  analysis of a
 subsample of stars   with accurate
 effective temperatures (Bonifacio \& Molaro 1997).
 These properties together with
 the detection of the more fragile isotope $\rm ^6Li$ in
 HD 84937 (Smith et al 1993 Hobbs \& Thorburn 1997) are   the main arguments
 to reject  significant modification
 of the pristine Li abundance due to stellar
 and/or Galactic processes.

 So far the Li measurements
generically refer to halo stars regardless of their
 belonging to the {\it inner} or {\it
outer} halo or other
 stellar associations.
In fact several evidences suggest that the halo population
is contaminated by accreted stars (Majewski  1992; Preston, Beers
\& Shectman  1994; Beers \& Sommer-Larsen  1995; Carney { et al.~} 1996 ).
 Beers and Sommer-Larsen (1995)
 have shown that the disk population rotating at roughly 200 km/s
 contains a  metal poor tail  extending down to [Fe/H] =-3 or  lower.
 They  also argued  that a significant fraction of metal poor stars
 ($\approx$ 30 \%
 of the stars with [Fe/H]$<$-1.5) belongs to the thick disk.
  Such a population with metallicities typical of halo stars
 is probably   responsible for the
 lack of a clear correlation between the kinematical properties
 and stellar metallicities in the Galaxy.

 The nature of these very
 metal poor stars with  disk rotational
properties is not well understood.
 They may be   either the oldest stars  of the disk
 or the result  of the collision of a preexisting thin disk
 with a dwarf satellite galaxy. These stars
  allow to establish
 the chemical conditions at the onset of the
 stellar formation in the
Galactic disk, in the former case, or in an old population
 of an accreted galaxy, in the latter case.
 Whichever the case they are a new important tool to verify the
 pregalactic abundance of   lithium.
 Molaro (1997)   already emphasized that
 the detection  of Li in a star belonging to the    Blue Metal Poor
 population, discovered
 by Preston, Beers \& Shectman (1994), possibly
  resulting from  a
 merger event,  can be considered as an indirect
 {\it extragalactic} Li  detection.

 In this paper we present lithium observations in seven
 main sequence
stars spanning metallicities from -1.5  down to -3.0,
but with
 kinematics belonging to the disk.
 The observations
 show that these stars have Li and that all,
but one, share the same Li abundance with the genuine  halo dwarfs.

 \section{Stars and observations}

 The targets have been selected among the most metal poor stars
 of the
Beers and Sommer-Larson (1995) sample. The objects  are all turn-off
 stars with  [Fe/H]$\le$ -1.5,
 and have disk-like rotational properties.
 To reduce the probability of  halo contamination the stars have been
 selected with  a distance on the
 plane of $|z|\le$ 1 Kpc,
 and in a position such that the line-of-sight
 component of disk rotation is at least 100 km/sec.

 A first set of  observations was obtained
 between October 11 and October 14, 1994
 using the EMMI spectrograph  at
 the Nasmyth focus of the 3.5m  NTT telescope.
 EMMI  was
 used in echelle mode, with grism 3 as cross disperser,
 with  a Tektronix 2040$\times$2048 CCD detector and the  F/5 Long Camera
 the scale in the
 Li region
 was of   0.067 {\AA}/pixel. The    slit aperture was set at  $1.2\times
10$
  arcsec
 providing  a resolving power of
R= $\lambda / \delta\lambda$ $\sim$ 31000.
 The slit height  gives 35 pixels
  perpendicular to the dispersion  direction  allowing  a satisfactory
 background-sky subtraction.
   The CCD was  read in
 super-slow mode with  a RON of $\approx$   4e$^-$/pixel.
 A second observing run
 was conducted on September  1996 using the CASPEC spectrograph
 at the Cassegrain focus of the 3.6 m ESO telescope. The echelle grating
 with 31.6 lines/mm and the long camera (f/3) were used.
 The detector was a Tektronix
 CCD $1024\times 1024$
square pixels of 24 microns in size with a RON of
  4e$^-$/pixel.
 With the  long camera the
 scale at the detector was
 of 0.077 {\AA} /pixel.  The slit
was set at $1.2\times 10$ arc-seconds providing a
 resolving power of
 R= $\lambda / \delta\lambda$ $\approx$ 32000 as measured from the
 Th-Ar emission lines.
  The journal of the observations is  summarized in Table 1.

  The data were reduced
 using the {\tt MIDAS  ECHELLE}  package.
 Special care was taken in the reduction in order
 to  subtract  the background  contribution
 and to take into account the presence of high energy particles events.
 The uncertainty in the wavelength calibration
 is of $\approx$ 0.2
of the resolution element,  or $\approx$ 2 km/sec. The
 heliocentric radial velocities,
 as measured from the NaI  lines are reported in Table 3.
  The continuum was traced
 measuring the intensity of the spectra in several windows
  in selected  regions surrounding the Li line. For multiple observations
 the spectra were  coadded with the proper weight after reduction
 to a common heliocentric scale.

 Equivalent widths were
 measured from  gaussian  fit integration.
 The errors on   equivalent widths
 have been quantified by taking $\sigma_{EW}$=K$\cdot$ (S/N)$^{-1}$,
 where K$\sim 1.503(F \cdot d)^{-1/2}$, where F is the spectral resolution
 and d the pixel size in \AA~ (Cayrel 1988, Deliyannis et al 1993).
 With our setup K values are of 189 and 168 m\AA~ for
 Emmi and Caspec spectra, respectively.
 The
  S/N ratio  is  measured in the continuum windows
 close to the Li line.
  Equivalent widths with errors  are given in Table 3.
 The final spectra are presented in Figure 1 after rebinning to equal
 (0.05 {\AA}) wavelength step.

 \section{ L\lowercase{i} abundances}

 The stellar effective temperatures
 have been derived from the (B-V)$_{0}$
 colour by using
  the   calibration of  Alonso et al. (1996b). The
 temperature scale is  based on a set of
 T$_{eff}$'s obtained by  Alonso et al. (1996a)
 with the Infrared Flux Method (IRFM)
 and is  probably  the most accurate temperature scale for metal poor
 stars.
 It is
 hotter
 by about 100 K than previously used temperature scales.

  An independent evaluation of the
 foreground reddening by inspection of the NaI interstellar
 lines  has been performed
 when the lines were not significantly affected by  NaI sky emission.
 The foreground reddenings  derived  by using the relations $\log $
 N(NaI)=1.04
 [$\log$ N(H+2H$_2$)] -9.09 (Ferlet et al 1985) and
 N(HI)/E$_{(B-V)}$=5.8 $\cdot $10$^{21}$ (Bohlin et al 1978)
 are given in Table 2. The values
 suggest that some of the stars might be in fact slightly more reddened
 than assumed and therefore  slightly hotter than  estimated here.
 A reddening of E$_{(B-V)}$=0.02
 corresponds to  an increase of about
 80 K in T$_{eff}$, i.e.   about 0.08 dex in A(Li).

  The programme stars are classified turn-off by
 Beers and Sommer-Larson
(1995) and we have adopted  a gravity of $\log g$= 4.0.
Surface gravity is not at all critical in the lithium
 abundance determination,
provided the star has not evolved away from the
 main sequence
 and is therefore Li  diluted.  Microturbulence was fixed to 1.5 Km/sec
 as this value is common
 for halo dwarfs. The precise value of microturbulence is also
 not critical for Li abundance determination.

 Li abundances are computed by using synthetic profiles computed by
 the SYNTHE code and atmospheric models  with the ATLAS 9 code
 (Kurucz 1993).
 ODF's computed with  $\alpha$ elements  abundances enhanced by  0.4 dex,
 which better reproduce the chemical composition of Pop II stars,
 were used.
  Convection was
 treated with the mixing length theory, with a mixing length of
 1.25 the pressure scale height.
 The   overshooting option, which   is
 implemented in  the convection treatment
 in the ATLAS 9 code, does not seem to produce better
 agreement between computed and observed quantities
 in stars other than
the sun (Castelli Gratton \& Kurucz 1997) and it is not adopted here.
 To quantify the difference:  if  the Kurucz (1993)
 grid with overshooting were used, the
 Li abundances
 would be
 increased by $\approx$ 0.05 dex.
 The Li
abundances are given in column 4 of Table 3. Corrections for
NLTE according to Carlsson et al (1994)
and expected depletions in the
standard models following
Deliyannis et al (1990)
are taken into
account in the Li abundances reported in column 5 of Table 3.

corresponding to [Fe/H]= $-1.3$ and an age of 16 Gyr, the dashed

have been shifted upwards by 0.1 dex to better match the observations.

 \section{discussion}

The formation of our Galaxy  is a process still to be understood in detail:
metal--poor stars can be either the relic of a rapid collapse or the
result of accretion of independent fragments (Carney { et al.~} 1996).
Analysis of rotational velocities and metallicities for metal poor stars
does not show a tight correlation as it is expected from classical
rapid colapse models.
There is growing observational evidence that the old stars in the Galaxy
comprise several populations. Nissen\& Schuster (1997) found
a group of halo stars ([Fe/H]$\approx$ -1.0) with solar values for the
[$\alpha $/Fe] ratios. This group of stars is characterized by large
distances from the Galactic plane and  Nissen\& Schuster suggest
they may be accreted from a dwarf galaxy with different chemical history.
Beers and Sommer-Larsen (1995) from an analysis of $\approx $  2000
low metallicity
 ([Fe/H] $\le$ -0.6) Galactic stars found that the galactic disk
contains a metal poor tail. As a part of a more general program of
Li  observations in the galactic populations we searched for Li in some of the
stars
 showing  disk-like rotational
 properties but still having metallicities [Fe/H]$\le$ -1.5,
more typical of halo stars. In particular
 CS 22894-19 has the   remarkably low metallicity of [Fe/H]=-3.03.

All these stars show a clear Li feature, with the  exception of CS 22182-24
where  the lithium line is detected  at a poor statistical significance
($\approx$ 95 \% C.L.)
The  Li abundances of the selected targets are shown in Fig 2 as a
function of effective
temperature. Also shown are the
Li abundances for the 41
halo stars having [Fe/H]$<$-1.5 and
T$_{eff}$ $>$ 5700 K from Bonifacio and Molaro (1997).
 The two sets of abundances
 can be directly compared to each other because  they
 have been obtained by the same atmospheric codes and the stellar temperatures
are based on the
 same IRFM temperature scale  of Alonso { et al.~} (1996a).
As it is clear  the Li abundances for the two different stellar
populations largely overlap at all temperatures of the {\it plateau}, with the
exception of CS 22182-24.

It is likely that CS 22182-24  is truly Li-poor,
 and is the  analogoue of the Li-poor stars found in the halo such as
  G122-69, G139-8, G186-26 (Thorburn 1994) and
G66-30 (Spite { et al.~} 1993). But other possibilities
cannot be ruled out. The star can
be more evolved of what assumed here
or  be a binary.
If the companion is of
similar temperature the correction for the veiling  should double the EW, thus
rising the  Li abundance to the {\it plateau} level.

      The weighted mean of the
Li abundances for all the seven stars corrected for NLTE effects and
for the standard depletion
is A(Li)$=2.20\pm 0.06$. The mean is only  increased  to  2.21 when
 CS 22182-24,  is removed as outlier.

This value  is slightly lower but fully consistent within less than 1 $\sigma$
with the {\it plateau} value of  A(Li)=$2.24\pm 0.012$
obtained by
Bonifacio \& Molaro (1997)
from the measurements of
41 {\it plateau stars}, thus
providing evidence that the metal poor stars with disk-like
 kinematics share the same Li abundance of
genuine halo stars.
An even  better consistency
between the two values can be
obtained when the
stellar T$_{eff}$  are obtained from the dereddened colours assuming the
colour excess  derived
from NaI interstellar lines, which result in somewhat larger Li abundances.

 It is not  clear whether  these stars  belong to the  first stellar
  disk generations
 or whether they are accreted by the Galaxy. Thus they
  either probe
 the chemical conditions at the onset of the
 stellar formation in the Galactic disk or
     in an old population
 of an accreted dwarf galaxy.
Whichever the case they allow to probe  an environment
which is different from the Galactic Halo.
The  fact that the two distinct metal-poor populations share the same Li
abundance
  provides a new  strong evidence
that the pregalactic Li abundance was uniform and close to the
value presently observed in the Galactic halo stars.

SCOOP Films – Is this White Privilege talking?
UK media has gone a bit crazy this last few days with the tale of a radio presenter "sacked for being a white man". You can read about it in The Guardian, The Daily Mail, Huffington Post or many other channels, but the best thing is to read what the man in question actually said, much of which is repeated in the Daily Mail article.
This comes at the same time as Ofcom's head has suggested that broadcasters are "not doing a good enough job", and could face tougher penalties and further regulation if they do not improve diversity.
So, is "white privilege" getting the hump or has the push for diversity swung too far?

Ireland to invest in cutting greenhouse gas emissions
Sustainable Energy Ireland announced plans to spend in excess of EUR 220 mm over the next five years on cutting greenhouse gas emissions and promoting energy savings initiatives.
In its five-year strategy document, published by the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Dermot Ahern, the organisation outlined its priority targets.
The five-year programme covers housing, transport, the public sector and energy consumption by commercial industry. Transport, housing and industry account for over three quarters of Ireland's energy-related CO2 emissions.
"We need to cut back on emissions while at the same time sustain our economic growth. I accept this is an enormous challenge for the country but I believe that it is attainable," Minister Ahern said.
This year, Ireland will consume 15 mm tons of oil equivalent of energy, costing consumers over EUR 7 bn and emitting over 45 mm tons of CO2. This has grown from EUR 4 bn and 30 mm tons of CO2 in 1990.
The government's National Climate Change Strategy has identified a 15.4 mm tons target reduction in annual CO2 emissions for 2008-2012.

Tyler Treadway, Treasure Coast Newspapers Published 3:41 p.m. ET Nov. 6, 2019 | Updated 4:04 p.m. ET Nov. 7, 2019
A Florida panther killed in a vehicle collision early Saturday near Indiantown is the first fatality in Martin County and possibly the Treasure Coast since the late 1970s or early 1980s, according to a Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission expert.
The adult male panther was struck and killed by an unknown vehicle around 1 a.m. Nov. 2 on State Road 710 about two miles south of Indiantown, according to an FWC report.
The panther was in "good health" before the collision, the report stated, but suffered massive trauma to its "hind end."
Ed Killer column: Young Florida panther on the prowl
The panther could be one that had been reported in several sightings in July, August and September at the nearby J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area and the DuPuis Management Area.
"Although it is very likely that this same panther was the one killed this past weekend, there is no way to confirm that," said Darrell Land, FWC's Florida panther team leader.
The panther probably was a lone male roaming through the area, Land said. "We've had no evidence of females or kittens around there."

Corbett Wildlife Management Area is believed to be the same cat found dead Saturday, Nov. 2, 2019, on State Road 710 about 2 miles south of Indiantown. (Photo: Photo courtesy of Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission)
It was the first recorded panther death in Martin County and possibly along the Treasure Coast "in recent decades," Land said. "The most recent I can think of were a few in the late 1970s and early 1980s."
"It is unusual for panthers to be found that far east, although they do show up on the east coast occasionally," Land said, adding most panthers live west and south of Lake Okeechobee in Collier and Hendry counties, "although they sometimes are seen north of the Caloosahatchee (River)."
An FWC map shows panther sightings reported almost as far north as Orlando.
Florida Panther Sightings Map
An estimated 120 to 230 panthers remain in Florida, according to the FWC.
Saturday's incident is the 23rd Florida panther death reported to FWC so far this year, the fewest of any of the last five years.
"So far, so good," Land said. "The death rate has been trending down for the last few years. I'm not sure why."
More:How to tell the difference between a panther and a bobcat
Perhaps after growing for many years, the population has "stabilized," Land said. "Or maybe the safety measures we've put in place are working."
Fencing designed to funnel animals to 60 wildlife crossings along roads throughout panther territory, including underpasses, have sharply reduced panther mortalities in those areas, according to the FWC.
The Florida Department of Transportation recently extended fencing 9 miles on a particularly dangerous segment of Interstate 75 in Collier County to keep panthers off the roadway.
"Unfortunately, the number is going to go up by one soon," Land said Wednesday afternoon as he was about to leave to pick up a panther carcass reported near Immokalee in Hendry County.
Panther or bobcat?
People often mistake bobcats for panthers. Here's how to tell the difference:
Camera trap captures life in the woods including the Florida panther

Help keep panthers in Florida
Slow down when driving along rural highways, especially where panther crossings are identified.
Keep a careful lookout, scanning the road and shoulders, at dawn or dusk, when panthers are most likely to be on the move.
If you see a panther cross the road ahead of you, slow down; there could be others following.
Buy a "Protect the Panther" license plate, the primary funding source for the FWC's research and management of Florida panthers.

Say hello to my latest wall art in my home: A floral cardboard cut-out sign that reminds me to "be happy" every day!
I am a big fan of positive energy and years ago I started adding little reminders throughout my home: Whether it be postcards with a nice saying or a simple sticky note.
As I am sooooo ready for spring (it's freezing cold here in Germany at the moment), I couldn't resist to buy this giant bouquet of spring flowers in my local dollar store.
Spring flowers scream blue sky, sunshine and bumblebees to me!
I had such fun working with all these colourful blossoms and I actually might have taken a gazillion photos while doing so.
Please bear with me as I share a mere fraction of all the images I've taken during this happy spring crafts project.
I haven't read any tutorials about this project or ever made one before, so I might have gone a detour or two while being creative.
In this very detailed step-by-step tutorial I'll be teaching you the most time efficient way to make your very own "be happy" cardboard cut-out sign. If you'd rather watch a video tutorial than the following screenshots, scroll way down or click here.
If you like the font I chose and obviously the words "be happy", too, then you can easily download the template for free in my freebie collection.
Print one letter per sheet of paper and scale them up so the big letters (b, h, p, y) cover the entire length of the paper. Remember to always use the same percentage (e. g. 130 %) for blowing the letters up, so when you put the letters together to the actual words, it won't look off.
Using a pencil, trace around the letters so you'll end up having even bolder letters after cutting them out. This way you will have plenty of room to add those gorgeous spring flowers later.
Lay your cut out letters + the heart on a piece of cardboard and trace the template using a pencil or pen.
Make sure that the heart is connected to the b and the h, so you'll end up with a one-piece wall art.
Using a sharp knife start cutting out your cardboard sign. Again, remember: Don't separate the heart from the b and the h so you will have one sign instead of a set of three.
This is how your sign should look, once you've completely cut it from your large piece of cardboard. Don't worry about frizzy edges, too much. I think it gives your motivational sign character.
If some bits of your cut-out cardboard sign happens to be bent up like mine was, you can easily fix that with a little clear tape.
Make sure to lay your cut-out cardboard sign wrong side up and bend it slightly so it's even. Then add strips of clear tape to stabilise it.
I used some left-over chalkboard paint. But you can use any paint you want and even create that matt look yourself by making DIY chalk paint yourself.
I like it when – while crafting – some accidental pieces of art come to life. Please, do tell me about your unintended creations in the comments.
…while your paint is drying. (I decided to paint my sign later in the creative process, that's why you'll be seeing the unpainted cardboard in the following pictures).
Check how your silk flowers are built. Sometimes you can simply plug the blossoms right off. If not, use pliers to clip them off.
Same with the leaves. Additionally you might want to cut some big foliage into smaller pieces. This way you can arrange them however you like in your flower design later on.
I just have an idea here: alternatively you could use handmade paper flowers instead, too. What do you think?
As I simply plugged the flowers from the stems I had to clip off those tiny plastic buds. I still find them eheeeeeverywhere in my craft room, lol.
If you are into glitter and bling, why not use a little glitter glue on some or all of your spring flowers?
Also, make sure to check out other glittery spring crafts at the very end of this post. I teamed up with my sparkle-loving blogger friends in the monthly Bling On The Crafts Blog Hop.
I used colour matching glitter glue for the blossoms and leaves.
I had these tiny eucalyptus branches and made little bundles of three, using gold floristic wire.
When you have prepared all of your silk flowers and leaves (weirdly enough I had fun sorting them by colour – which is something I DON'T DO usually), start placing those blossoms on your sign.
Mix and match, and change until you're happy with the outcome.
In the beginning I wanted to cover the whole sign with flowers, hence the no painting beforehand. I realised quickly though, that this idea won't work with a curly font. You wouldn't have been able to read the words anymore. If you would love to make an all flowers sign, you'll have to go for bold straight letters.
If you have a leaf/flower combo going on, I suggest you first glue the leaf to the flower. After that you'll be gluing the combo to your cardboard cut-out sign.
I also recommend you pick up each flower element at a time and glue it on, so you don't lose your previously designed layout.
I am currently taking a course in photography and I was taught to try out different angles. What do you say? Passed the class? Yay or Nay?
As cardboard and silk flowers are super light-weight, you'll be good using a removable adhesive of your choice. I used BluTack to fix "be happy" to its new home.
I started out with three blobs, but ended up adding one more, so the top of the b wouldn't flop around.
I placed them at the top of the letters b, e, h, and y.
10 – And you're done!
Doesn't it look pretty in my freshly made over Craft Room?
Oh, and, I did invest $ 17 in silk flowers because I WANTED THEM ALL. The variety is what makes this project even more fun, is what I think. But I ended up using flowers for only about $ 3.
If you have left-over silk flowers, you can display them in a glass jar in your craft room. I bet that will look gorgeous!
You can be certain that those wonderful flowers will find their way into many of my future creative projects.
PS: Don't forget to PIN this to Pinterest!
This is beautiful and what a wonderful idea to have inspirational quotes around your home. I have been thinking about making cardboard letters and your project is an inspiration to make them. The flowers are beautiful. Pinning!
Yay! I'm happy I could give you creative energy to get your project going. Thank you for your support.
So pretty and it definitely makes me think spring. I love the idea of adding glitter to the silk flowers.
Thank you, love! The added sparkles were an afterthought and I'm so happy this thought popped into my mind.
I love this Habiba…..you were right you knew I would!! Beautiful!!!
When I first looked at this, I didn't realize it was cardboard. Love how pretty this is and light too.
Yeah, after I painted it you could hardly tell what material the base is. I'm glad you like it.
This is absolutley gorgeous! I love that font!
Thank you Heather, I had fun making it and I see it every day when waking up.
Every time I see this sigh, it makes me happy. The flowers look so pretty on the dark color. Thanks for sharing at the welcome spring link party, I'll be featuring this today in my features post.
That was the goal of this crafty project, Jenny. And it works for me, too. Thank you for the share! I really am grateful for your support.

How Legal Software Helps To Calculate Your Deadlines?
How Legal Software Helps To Ca ...
Law firms have many ongoing tasks every day. You cannot foresee which kind of task you will have in the next hour. But there are also many things which have their deadlines and time frame under which you have to submit them. You cannot ignore those deadlines or task completion at any cost. These kinds of scenarios are quite common in law firms. But it is not possible to keep a record of it and remember it. Especially when considering the amount of pressure and work which is regular.
There is no chance of getting away from the deadlines. The entire profession is based on this system because of the legal matters and cases involved. It also goes with the reputation of the law firm. All the matters involve deadlines or datelines, as every client has a different case. It is sometimes difficult to remember all these things. Earlier, when there was no digitalization it was very tough for the litigations and attorneys to keep in mind these due dates. But with digitalization and modern technologies, it has become a lot simpler to manage these tasks.
When there was no digitalization they used to make these dates on the calendars manually to keep a track of all these dates and not to slip it from their mind.it was not simply to maintain this calendar. It is because the attorneys don't have to take on only one matter or case. They are involved in tens and hundreds of cases. And every day new cases pile up on their desk or task sheet.
When you go for a court rules-based calendar for your legal software, then the date recording becomes easier. If the dates or law get adjusted or amended, then in the cloud-based software the changes are done and then recorded in this software as well. It means even if there are changes, the software or the tool will record them automatically.
Law toolbox
Law toolbox is a calendar tool that helps the user in keeping track off and record the due date and deadlines of the case. It is a court rule-based calendar tool. This will keep a record of all the cases and their dates by charging you $49.5 for every case. This charge is included till the date the case is not resolved. The charges are separate for each case. The software is integrated into Outlook so that you can keep track of other dates and events, too.
TimeandDate.com is an essentially useful software or tool for legal firms and attorneys. It is, first of all, a free toll, which means no extra cost. You can find this software on the official website of TimeandDate.com. You can easily create timers on these tools too with customization. It is possible to track the due date before or after the event.
Calendarules
Calendar Rules is another court rule-based calendar tool that helps in maintaining the due date of the deadline for the use or any event. This can also be synced with the outlook for making the process easier for the firms and attorneys. It is a premium tool and its charges vary depending on the number of cases. You can even avail of discounts with mass cases for this tool.
With technology and digitization, it has become simpler for legal firms and attorneys to keep a record of all this information. They can easily record and check it at any time with the help of this new technology. Though there were many technologies and systems which became popular for the legal calendar but with the cloud-based systems, the process became a lot easier. With cloud-based systems, you can get access to the information and latest knowledge of the rules and dates. All the above-mentioned tools and software are amazing and can help your firm and lawyers in keeping track of the events and deadlines.

A: for validating email id use Android's default Email mathcher.
android.util.Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(your data).matches();

For Example.
if (etMail.getText().toString().trim().equals("")) {
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    "Please enter your e-mail id", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
} else if (!android.util.Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(
                etMail.getText().toString().trim()).matches()) {
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    "Please enter valid e-mail id", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
}else{
    // Do your stuff
}

EDIT :
if (user.getText().toString().trim().equals("")) {
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    "Please enter username", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
} else if (mobile.getText().toString().trim().equals("")) {
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    "Please enter your mobile number", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
} else if (mobile.getText().length() < 10) {
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    "Please enter valid mobile number", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
} else if (!etMail.getText().toString().trim().equals("")) {
    if (!android.util.Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(
                etMail.getText().toString().trim()).matches()) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    "Please enter valid e-mail id", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
    }
}else{
    // Do your stuff

"Time for dinner; come downstairs to set the table!" Yelled Juliet, breaking Michael from his concentration.
At that moment the door flew open as Juliet entered the room.
"Excuse me? You won't have any missions to complete when your computer system finds its way out on the street curb, so move it or lose it." Juliet sneered with such conviction. It was as if she wanted nothing more than to deprive Michael of something he enjoyed.
He then lowered his head as he informed Jack they'd have to continue later.
"But we're almost done! It's RIGHT there in front of us!" Claimed Jack.
"I know, but I have to go. See ya." Michael then shut everything down while his mother stood nearest the door, scolding her son as he moved steadily.
"Personal interests come secondary." He said as he slightly averted his gaze from his mother's dagger-like eyes.
"Yes, mom." Michael said with a melancholy tone.
Michael turned from his father as a tightness gripped his chest. It was the sting of rejection that caused him to feel so disgusting, although he was currently unable to connect the feeling with the source of its pain. But the emotional upheaval soon buried itself with the rest of Michael's suffering – years from having been rejected and treated with disdain by those who were entrusted to care for him.
With that said, it wasn't long before Michael felt nothing as a numbness overtook him. So he then turned his focused towards the dishware to gather all his family would need to serve dinner. Even then he had to make sure he didn't make too much noise because Corban Lux was known to erupt with the greatest fits of rage if he was disturbed.
It wasn't long before everything was in its proper place, and thank goodness too! After all, Juliet had shown Michael time and time again how to effectively bore oneself to death from having trifled with setting the table.
"That's wrong!" She would say, or "how stupid could you be to think that would work?!" Then again, moments with mother were never dull. One could say she specialized in keeping others on their toes – almost to the point of becoming hypervigilant. But in any case, Michael was always pleased to have set everything to her standard since that meant he didn't have to listen to the endless rants that typically made no sense when he stopped to think about them after the fact.
It's just a spoon – he often thought to himself, although his mother's Evil Eye and mockery said otherwise. To her it seemed as though the world was falling apart, and her with it! "Oh well, at least I mostly do it right" he muttered under his breath. It wasn't long before Stella and Juliet made their way to the kitchen to join the men at the table.
"Hey daddy!" Stella said as she rushed over to hug Corban.
"Hey there sweetie, how was your day?" Corban replied.
Stella managed to talk for long enough that Michael sat and thought – sure, you'll talk to her but you won't even acknowledge me. But then again, this wasn't any different from what typically occurred under the Lux's roof. The sister got all of the favorable attention while Michael always received the short end of the stick. Although, he often got the entire stick from his father's beatings or mother's tirades.
"What's for dinner?" Asked Corban as he collected the remaining loose papers.
"Meatloaf with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, biscuits, and honey buns for dessert." Replied Juliet. Now to most, the meal itself wouldn't raise any red flags. However, Juliet's cooking skills were anything but phenomenal since she mostly purchased pre-cooked dinners from the store. Except for the vegetables which were always canned, never fresh. But even then, that didn't dissuade her from bragging about her culinary expertise whenever she attended pot lucks at work.
"Yes, please." Michael said as he tried to focus on everything besides the green debacle that seemingly cast a shadow over the rest of his plate. The entire process didn't take much longer, although everything probably would have gone faster had Juliet Lux entrusted her children to fill their own plates. But then again, Juliet always wanted to fill their heads with the notion that she would always provide for them.
Eventually everyone had a plate and dove in without saying much to each other. In fact, dinner sessions were usually the only peaceful moments in the house even though awkward turtles sometimes found their way among those seated at the table.
"Oh honey would you be so kind?" Juliet said as she peered into Corban's eyes with a glint that made him melt and tense up simultaneously. She had a way of accomplishing both without even trying.
"Amen." Everyone replied, although it was more of a whimper than anything of noticeable worth.
"Oh thank you, dear! Unlike Michael who apparently couldn't muster the strength to thank our Father in Heaven for bestowing our home with such grace." Juliet sneered while the room fell quiet.
The silence was quickly broken when Stella snorted from hearing her mother make such a dastardly claim. "And what's so funny, Stella?" Asked Juliet.
"What? The fact you grill Michael every night, or the point when you try to force religion on us – I mean, it's not like we still go to church or anything?" Stella said with a smirk on her face.
Juliet felt a rage intensely rising within her, although she knew how to direct its entropic current to see that all it touched would surrender or burn. She then responded by smiling back at her daughter who felt as if a tidal wave was about to make landfall.
"Oh Michael?" Juliet asked, still looking her daughter down with that glint in her eye.
"What is the most important rule of all stemming from the Father?" At this point Stella's breath shortened as she felt her heart sink to her gut.
Michael sat for a moment and thought even though it didn't take long to remember considering his mother drilled the verse into both her children. It had honestly been years since the family unit graced their local church, although Juliet always preferred to teach the sermons to her kids as she didn't trust anyone else to effectively preach the word. So this meant the cruel and merciless god of the Old Testament was often used to silence the cries of her children. After all, they could be damned for eternity if they disobeyed their parents – at least that's what they were told.
"Exodus 20:12, I think." He recounted as his mother gently rubbed one of her hands on Michael's forearm to show her approval before turning her focus towards Stella, who by this time was becoming defensive.
"But mom?! We haven't even been to church in years, so how can you expect me to follow the words of a book that was written by a bunch of dead guys?" Stella went on to say as an attempt to make a point. The only problem was that her point contradicted her mother's word.

The Archives of American Art Launches Feature-Filled Online Research Guide to Chicago

COURTESY TERRA FOUNDATION
For those interested in American art history, there is arguably no site on the internet quite as juicy as the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art. Want to look through a Charles Sheeler notebook and try out his recipe for shoofly pie? The AAA has got you covered. Looking for letters that Hanne Darboven wrote to Lucy Lippard? The AAA is ready for you. Researching the Leo Castelli Gallery? The AAA has its records—all 217.7 linear feet of them. And then there are the oral histories—about 2,300 of them, with a sterling array of artists, dealers, and other art types.
And now I have some thrilling news: the AAA just got a great deal juicier, with the addition of a new mini-site aimed at facilitating research into Chicago art history. The new online resource, available right here, was funded with a $413,000 grant from the Terra Foundation as part of its 2018 Art Design Chicago initiative—a kind of Windy City answer to California's Pacific Standard Time that will feature special exhibitions, publications, and so forth—and includes a comprehensive guide to collections of materials related to the city's art, 10 new oral histories (with dealer Rhona Hoffman, artist Suellen Rocca, and more), and a treasure trove of other materials.
The new site grew out of a 1991 publication called "Art-Related Archival Materials in the Chicago Area" that Betty Blum assembled, AAA director Kate Haw, said in an interview. That original guide listed 26 repositories and 158 collections that hold research materials related to Chicago art. The new one, compiled by Wendy Greenhouse, is a great deal more comprehensive, with 76 repositories and nearly 900 collections—a huge increase. "Our goal is always to make it easier for people to find their way in their research," Haw said, adding that the folks using the AAA range from art historians to novelists looking to ensure historical accuracy to people doing genealogy research.
Over the past decade, Terra has funded the AAA to the tune of $12 million, Amy Zinck, the foundation's executive vice president, said. She noted that people "are now able, from Bentonville to Bulgaria, wherever, to engage in American art" thanks to the AAA's online presence. And that presence will only keep growing. Haw said that about 20 to 30 new oral histories are being conducted each year and mentioned that the archives recently doubled the rate that they are scanning holdings in their archives.
Museums and galleries in Chicago have started to announce their programming for Art Design Chicago, and it looks like it is shaping up to be an impressive event. Zinck said that Terra had long thought about funding such a project, and decided in 2014 to set the plan in motion, "knowing that there was a bigger story to be told."

WRC Generations comes to Switch Dec. 1st, 2022, Leagues Mode revealed
Leagues ahead of the competition
The original plan for WRC Generations was to have the game out on Switch by now, but for whatever reason, that didn't happen. Thankfully, we're still getting the game this year, as publisher NACON has confirmed a Dec. 1st, 2022 release date today. That came with the reveal of Leagues Mode, which you can see in the trailer above.
The Leagues mode is the main competitive mode of WRC Generations. It is divided into two categories: solo and team. Players can rank in both modes simultaneously. In solo, the ranking of a player is determined by the points obtained individually, while the addition of the points obtained by each player determines the positioning of their team.
The Leagues mode is a cross-platform feature (except for the Switch which will work independently), where the goal is to obtain the best rank within the different leagues:
Legend (top league)
Beginner (unranked or players demoted from Junior 3)
Each league is subdivided into three tiers. Each tier is then divided into groups of players or teams, for competition on a direct scale. Groups can contain up to 30 solo players and 8 teams in the mode of the same name.
Unfolding of the seasons
Seasons are divided into weeks, including a qualification phase (one week) and ten weeks of competition made up of daily and weekly events that players can participate in to climb their group ranking.
Each week ends with a re-ranking, during which players and teams are repositioned according to their performance. At this point, players gain experience allowing them to unlock new customization elements for the driver card and new stickers for the livery editor.
Once the season is over, the world's top 3 teams and players are entered into the Leagues Hall of Fame.
For each event, players are given three attempts to get the best time. A warm-up mode also allows players to train on the special stages. The events in single player and team modes are different.
The daily events are simple rallies with specific conditions (special, car, weather) renewed daily and added to the group classification at the end of the day.
The weekly events take the form of a complete rally, which can be completed in several game sessions and are renewed each week. Players can choose a car within a specific category. Damage, repairs, and tyre choice are handled at the service park. The points obtained are added to the group ranking at the end of each week.
Finally, the qualification phases are events that appear at the start of each season, using the same format as a weekly event. The results obtained take the form of a general ranking determining the starting position of each player for the season.
