Q: Windows update changed BIOS settings? This might simply be a coincidence, but after the most recent batch of updates to Windows 10 my "Password on boot" option flicked off in the BIOS - though the password still exists as I needed it to access the BIOS and revert the setting back to on.
I was under the impression that the BIOS could not be altered by any operating system, am I just mistaken on that?
I am the only user of this system and have not changed that setting myself...
What - other than me and a case of short term memory loss - could have changed that setting?

A: Same thing happened 4/4/2018 (m/d/yyyy) on an HP EliteDesk 705G3 SFF with Windows 10 v1703. But this is a locked down computer lab machine and its BIOS administrative password had been set.
Took awhile to figure out why it suddenly wouldn't boot because during initial setup last summer, as with all 40 new PCS in this lab, the firmware had been set to enable the Legacy (BIOS) boot and disable the Secure (UEFI) boot.
Having ruled out all the usual possibilities,
I decided to check whether the firmware had been changed. I had to use the BIOS supervisor password to access the settings and found that the settings had indeed been reset to their defaults (Disable Legacy Boot and Enable Secure Boot).
I changed them back to enable the BIOS boot and disable the UEFI boot. Then I went through the HP firmware change validation process (type in a 4 digit number to match the randomly generated number that was presented to me) and then rebooted the PC.
The PC booted into Windows 10 per normal, but then I heard the Windows startup sound!
This should not have happened because during PC setup the internal speaker had been disabled per our usual procedure to prevent random (or maybe not so random) tones and tunes from dozens of PCs from disrupting class.
I had logged into this machine several times since initial setup and it had never emitted the Windows startup or any other sound. So I restarted and again used the BIOS admin supervisor access -- discovered that the internal speaker was enabled -- disabled it and again went through the change validation process.
After booting to Windows 10, all worked normally and silently.
A check of the Windows Setup log revealed that the PC's previous shutdown was on 3/21/2018. The Setup log indicated that KB4074590 (Security Update for Microsoft Windows) was installed on 3/8/2018 (reboot did not occur until 3/16/2018).
On 3/19/2018, changes were initiated to change KB4056887 from Installed to Absent for client id CbsTask and to change KB4056890 from superseded to Absent for client id CbsTask, but apparently no reboot was necessary for these changes to occur.
Then I found "How to access UEFI Firmware settings on Windows 10/8.1" on The Windows Club website. The article showed me how to change firmware settings via Settings > Update and Security > Recovery > Advanced startup > Troubleshoot > UEFI Firmware Settings.
BOTTOM LINE: It apparently is possible for a Windows Update (or combination thereof) to override the BIOS administrator password and reset PC firmware to its defaults -- without disabling or changing BIOS password.
FOLLOW UP: After Spring semester final exams, tested the low CMOS battery hypothesis by disconnecting the machine from electrical power for three weeks. (According to the Windows event log, there had been two weeks from the 3/21/2018 shutdown until 4/4/2018 when the issue was discovered, so two weeks would be the maximum time that the machine could have been disconnected from electrical power.) However, when the machine was reconnected to electrical power and turned on after three weeks, it booted in BIOS mode per usual. Accordingly, it still seems possible that a very unusual (and unknown at this time) combination of events somehow allowed a malfunctioning Windows Update process to use Windows 10's firmware change authority to reset the firmware to its default values.

A: Though I have never heard of it, maybe it is possible that Windows removes BIOS passwords on some devices before installing to ensure a silent install. BIOS settings can most certainly be read (and modified) by software, so this is a possibility. However, it is more likely that it simply happened as a malfunction (has happened with me before)

A: I have an older SSD on 0: (listed first in bios), and my bootable SSD on 1:, and I suspect that an update caused the bios reset which SSD to look at for booting.
The other day I was on the computer playing Elder Scrolls Online (awesome game) and before going to bed, shut it down, all normally.  I suspect that at some point during that day, an update was applied since I have automatic updating enabled and because the next morning when I turn on my computer, after posting, it went to a bsod saying error code 0000225.
I try restarting a few times thinking it must be a glitch, but same thing keeps happening, and I'm thinking I may need to reformat or completely reset the OS.  I restart again and while posting I enter the bios settings just to see if something else is wrong... and there it is... my bios has somehow been changed to look at the wrong SSD while booting.
I don't know if it'll help, but I put a pw on the bios now so maybe updates or whatever did it will now be prevented from doing so.  I looked at maybe enabling the PCI Lock option in msconfig, but not sure about it yet.  The big takeaway though, is that something other than me changed my bios settings.

IF CLIMATE CHANGE COMES UP AT THANKSGIVING, IT'S OK TO TALK...
AP Photo/Butterball
Two-thirds of Americans are very or moderately interested in global warming. Yet two-thirds say they hear or talk about the issue only 'several times a year or less.'
With Thanksgiving coming after a polarizing election campaign, Americans may have some tough choices to make about what to discuss with family and friends. But here's a little food thought: Important topics don't necessarily have to be unspeakable ones, if handled in the right way.
Climate change is a case in point, and there's a special reason for Americans to consider talking about it more, whether it's one-on-one with at a holiday gathering or in some other venue.
It's an issue that's not only polarizing, it's also beset with a paradox: Researchers say two-thirds of Americans are actually interested in it, but they show scant willingness to talk about it. Some observers have coined the term "climate silence."
Maybe people are afraid they don't know enough to talk, or fear others won't agree with their views. It could also be that the issue itself seems too vague (off in the future) or too menacing (can we really do something about this?) – so that in either case avoidance can seem the path of least resistance.
But maybe you can actually do well by breaking the silence. Really.
One prominent data point: All three presidential debates plus the vice presidential one included not a single question directly on climate change. And George Marshall of Climate Outreach, a British nonprofit that promotes public engagement with climate change, cites evidence that people actually talk about the issue even less than the already-scant amount they say they do.
"Breaking the collective silence is, I am convinced, a key to making headway on climate change," says Mr. Marshall, in a recent commentary on American and British climate silence. "After our workshops, participants frequently tell us that this has been the first meaningful conversation that they have ever had on climate change."
Gap to fill
Some 67 percent of Americans are very or moderately interested in global warming, according to a 2016 survey by Yale and George Mason Universities, which have centers that research climate communication. Yet 66 percent of Americans report hearing or talking about the issue with people they know only "several times a year or less." And they're not hearing about it much more often that that through the news media they read or watch.
Don't do it for popularity, but it's possible that talking about energy and the environment might even win you some praise.
Consider that Kenneth Bone, a St. Louis area resident, drew positive attention by asking a question to the presidential candidates about how to reconcile the interests of job creation, energy supply, and care for the environment. If you don't recall him, maybe the phrase "red sweater" will jog the memory. (And the sweater admittedly had something to do with his social-media appeal.)
Beneath the divide, questions of values
The debate exchange was more an appetizer than a full-course conversation on the subject, but his sincere question drew out meaningful responses from both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Mr. Bone didn't use the words "climate" or "warming," by the way – which can serve as a reminder that buzzwords aren't always that helpful in promoting dialogue.
But the framing of his question showed respect for the varying concerns from jobs to the environment. Intentionally or not, he modeled some traits of a good conversation on climate (or other polarizing topics, for that matter. That kind of respect and willingness to listen go a long way toward setting up a constructive dialogue, some researchers say. And they add that it's helpful, on issues that seem daunting, to seek areas of agreement and to point toward possible solutions.
One more tip: Often the political polarization in views about climate change is actually less about climate science than about underlying political values, says Anthony Leiserowitz, director of the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication.
To many conservative voters, a latent or not-so-latent worry is that saying "yes, I care about climate change" translates into "bigger government is coming" to regulate carbon. It's an understandable concern. And thinking through such concerns about individual freedoms and economic prosperity will have to be part of America's conversation on climate for the long term, both around living rooms and in political campaigns. Those values need to be considered alongside others that people hold – including being responsible stewards of the environment for present and future generations.
On the science of climate itself, the Monitor recently covered where scientific consensus does and doesn't exist. (The gist: Consensus is strong that average temperatures are warming and that human burning of fossil fuels is the core factor to be addressed. Scientists feel less certain about the pace of change – how fast warming will occur, how quickly sea levels will rise due to things like polar melting and the expansion that occurs when water in the ocean warms.)
Prominent science groups have called for significant action to reduce emissions of heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide.
Interestingly, one recent poll by the Pew Research Center finds that many Republicans, as well as others, believe that climate scientists should have a major role in climate policymaking.
So to recap:
Wear a red sweater. (Or a blue one? Can be calming.)
Be ready to ask questions and listen respectfully, as well as talk.
Consider showing you understand some of the moral or political values that drive the person you're talking with. Share some of the ones that motivate you.
Focus on points of agreement, which can often include some shared values or support for specific changes such as a widening role for solar and wind power in the energy mix.
Sometimes buzz phrases like "global warming" get in the way. Close-to-home issues like air pollution or increasing heat waves can be a shared concern even for people who feel opposed on climate change.
"Thank you" is a powerful phrase, whether said in regard to the discussion or about actions others are taking.

Hamilton: Teams should have no say in F1's rules
22dNate Saunders
LE CASTELLET, France -- Lewis Hamilton says F1's current rule-making process is flawed, as it allows teams to be involved in key decisions about its future.
Hamilton won his fifth race of the current campaign on Sunday at a French Grand Prix low on entertainment. The result extended his lead in the championship to 36 points, but after the race he was defending himself from suggestions that his dominance of F1 is boring.
Hamilton: It's not my fault F1 has turned out like this
The five-time world champion has recently taken an active role in helping F1 shape its future, attending a 2021 rules summit in Paris earlier this month, where all 10 teams were present along with F1 chiefs and the FIA, racing's governing body.
"From how it's set up, just from watching when I was there, it's not good," Hamilton said about that process on Sunday evening. "Really not good. They won't like me saying that."
When asked what he meant, he replied: "I think ultimately the FIA, they're the governing body and they need to make all the decisions.
"The teams shouldn't be involved in that, in my opinion, because the teams all want to do something for themselves. That's the natural thing.
"Same in football, if all the teams sat in a room and said sport should be like this, they would push and pull for their own benefit. But if you get central group of people telling us, like the FIA for example, that their sole job is to make the sport great again, hiring individuals or whatever, they should have the power. They should make the decisions."
That Paris meeting led to a delay on the publication of the 2021 rules until October. F1 racing chief Ross Brawn has been tasked with finding a rules package that creates closer racing and a less widely spread playing field, with numerous teams able to win and claim a podium each weekend.

Talk of F1's future doesn't stop at the next set of rules. Hamilton's current boss, Toto Wolff, has been touted as future boss of the championship.
While he admires Wolff's talent as a manager Hamilton thinks F1 needs to be led by someone without any affiliation to an existing team.
"I don't believe there's a better manager [than Wolff] within whole of F1. However, sitting back as a fan, when you sit in the room with people who have to make the ultimate decision, we as humans are, I think, in my opinion, we can be biased.
"You've got [FIA boss] Jean Todt, I know Jean's level, but the fact is he's been with the red team [Ferrari] for so long, surely when he wakes up, if there's a red T-shirt and a silver T-shirt, surely he goes for the red one.
"That's just like when I get out of bed and see [car number] 44 or 6, I will go for 44 and Toto has been Mercedes through and through for such a long period of time, I don't know if there is anything in that.
"If it is a choice of management I think he would be the best, but I think the best is someone from outside who is neutral, if that is possible. But even so, they'll watch it and choose a team that they prefer, that's just how we are you know.
"Look at football -- you're drawn to something. That's how we're tuned."

Q: Pyside2 how to get mouse position? I want to get mouse position in my pyside2 application.(not desktop mouse position that QCursor gives) and I tried two way. Bellow is my code.
import sys
from PySide2 import QtGui, QtWidgets, QtCore

class Palette(QtWidgets.QGraphicsScene):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent)

    def mousePressEvent(self, event):
        print(event.pos()) # always return (0,0)
        print(QtWidgets.QWidget.mapToGlobal(QtCore.QPoint(0, 0))) #makes parameter type error
        print(QtWidgets.QWidget.mapToGlobal(QtWidgets.QWidget))  # makes  parameter type error
        print(QtWidgets.QWidget.mapToGlobal(QtWidgets.QWidget.pos()))  # makes parameter type error

class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        palette = Palette(self)
        view = QtWidgets.QGraphicsView(palette, self)
        view.resize(500, 500)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    main_window = MainWindow()
    main_window.resize(500, 500)
    main_window.show()
    app.exec_()

I very wonder how i can get my mouse pos...

A: From what I understand you want to get the position on the window if you click anywhere in a widget.
To solve the problem, the logic is as follows:

*

*Get the mouse position with respect to the widget

*Convert that position to a global position, that is, with respect to the screen.

*Convert that global position to a position relative to the window.

For the first step if mousePressEvent() is used, event.pos() returns the position relative to the widget.
For the second step you must convert that position relative to the widget to global with mapToGlobal().
And for the third step mapFromGlobal() of window is used.
def mousePressEvent(self, event):
    p = event.pos() # relative to widget
    gp = self.mapToGlobal(p) # relative to screen
    rw = self.window().mapFromGlobal(gp) # relative to window
    print("position relative to window: ", rw)
    super(Widget, self).mousePressEvent(event)

Update:
The QGraphicsScene is not a widget, it is not a visual element, although it is part of the representation of a visual element: the QGraphicsView. For you to understand I will explain you with an analogy, let's say that there is a cameraman recording a scene, in that example the QGraphicsScene is the scene and the QGraphicsView is what the camera records, that is, it shows a piece of the QGraphicsScene, so there could be another cameraman recording the scene from another point, so it would show the same scene from another perspective, so the position of the scene depends on the camera, so if your current question would be equivalent to saying which is the position of the point P respect to the camera i-th, and that from the scene is impossible, you should get it from the camera.
So in conclusion you should not use QGraphicsScene but QGraphicsView, the following solutions implement the same logic using 2 different methods:
1. Creating a custom class of QGraphicsView:
import sys
from PySide2 import QtGui, QtWidgets, QtCore

class GraphicsView(QtWidgets.QGraphicsView):
    def mousePressEvent(self, event):
        p = event.pos() # relative to widget
        gp = self.mapToGlobal(p) # relative to screen
        rw = self.window().mapFromGlobal(gp) # relative to window
        print("position relative to window: ", rw)
        super(GraphicsView, self).mousePressEvent(event)

class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        scene = QtWidgets.QGraphicsScene(self)
        view = GraphicsView(scene, self)
        self.setCentralWidget(view)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    main_window = MainWindow()
    main_window.resize(500, 500)
    main_window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

2. Using eventfilter:
import sys
from PySide2 import QtGui, QtWidgets, QtCore

class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        scene = QtWidgets.QGraphicsScene(self)
        self._view = QtWidgets.QGraphicsView(scene, self)
        self.setCentralWidget(self._view)
        self._view.installEventFilter(self)

    def eventFilter(self, obj, event):
        if obj is self._view and event.type() == QtCore.QEvent.MouseButtonPress:
            p = event.pos() # relative to widget
            gp = self.mapToGlobal(p) # relative to screen
            rw = self.window().mapFromGlobal(gp) # relative to window
            print("position relative to window: ", rw)
        return super(MainWindow, self).eventFilter(obj, event)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    main_window = MainWindow()
    main_window.resize(500, 500)
    main_window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

On the other hand mapToGlobal() is a method that must be called by an instance, when you use QtWidgets.QWidget.mapToGlobal() there is no instance, my question is, what widget do you have the position? the position you have with respect to self, so you must use self.mapToGlobal() , that works for the objects belonging to a class that inherit from QWidget as QGraphicsView, but not in QGraphicsScene since it does not inherit from QWidget, it is not a widget as indicated in the lines above.

A: I have recently found a more universal way of getting the cursor position, if you don't want to go through sub classing and events.
# get cursor position
cursor_position = QtGui.QCursor.pos()

print cursor_position
### Returns PySide2.QtCore.QPoint(3289, 296)


Southern Charm's Kathryn Dennis has major "mom swag" with this one.
Kathryn C. Dennis has found love in a totally frivolous — yet somehow, totally necessary — kitchen gadget. In her recent Instagram Stories, the Southern Charm mama confessed that she knew she was being "extra," but that she couldn't resist this new addition to her arsenal of entertaining tools. Want to see what all the fuss is about? Come, step inside Kathryn's kitchen with us.
Based on her Stories, it looks like the mom of two might be getting ready to host a little Valentine's Day party. Or, perhaps she just likes looking at sweet, fun, pink things these days — and who can blame her?
Regardless of the reason, what we do know is that Kathryn is now the proud owner of a miniature golden Ferris wheel for miniature cupcakes. Oh, yes. It's true.
Kathryn wrote a caption that proudly said "mom swag" (complete with twerking gif). Next to the cupcake contraption, she'd laid out pink sweets, sparkling pink lemonade, and pretty plates that looked ready to go for a tea party.

Q: Tcl: Why is the dollar sign used in the first argument to `upvar`? The tcl docs provide the following example on how to use the upvar command:
proc add2 name {
    upvar $name x
    set x [expr {$x + 2}]
}

Inside this procedure, x acts as a reference to the variable name which belongs to the scope outside of add2.
I don't understand why the first argument to upvar has to be provided with the dollar sign, and the second argument not. Shouldn't it simply be upvar name x, since we are referencing name rather than its value?

A: Here's an example of how add2 might be used:
(Tcl) 2 % set fred 3
3
(Tcl) 3 % add2 fred
5

Here add2 is called with its parameter called "name" set to the value "fred".  If the code then did upvar name x it would be operating on a variable literally called "name" but we need it to operate on the variable called "fred" so we write $name to get the value "fred" from the parameter called "name".

A: Donal's answer might be illustrated this way:
proc addfred {} {
   upvar fred fr
   incr fr 2
}
% set fred 3
3
% addfred
5
proc addfred {} {
   upvar "fred" fr
   incr fr 2
}
% addfred
7

I.e. you need not have the upvar-ed variable in the proc's parameters at all, to make it work.
With "level" option of upvar, you can add even more resourcefulness to this.

List<int> imageBytes = await widget.picture.readAsBytes();
String base64Image = base64Encode(imageBytes);

and when the function base64Encode start, the UI of my application get stuck.
I didn't find async function and dart does not have threads so I really don't know what to do.
Anyone familiar with the problem?

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was… - J. D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye.
S&S Acquires Bulk of Stephen King's Work
In a landmark publishing agreement, Stephen King's publisher of twenty years Scribner has acquired North American and Open Market print, e-book, and audio rights to almost the entirety of the bestselling author's body of work. The 27 titles in the agreement include classic Stephen King novels such as: IT, Misery, Dolores Claiborne, Christine, Cujo, The Dead Zone, and Firestarter; the novella collections Different Seasons and Four Past Midnight; and the first four volumes of Stephen King's Dark Tower series (please see attached for a full list of titles). E-book and e-audio editions of the acquired titles will be available from Scribner and Simon & Schuster Audio beginning on January 1, 2016. Print editions in trade and mass market paperback from the Scribner, Pocket Books, and Gallery imprints will follow. News of the agreement was announced today by Nan Graham, Senior Vice President and Publisher of Scribner and Stephen King's editor.
"It's a no-brainer, really," said Stephen King. "Good publishing and good relationships equals happy writers and long shelf life. I know from experience that this group of people—at Scribner, at Pocket, at Simon & Schuster Audio, and throughout the company—values the work I do, and wants to find as many readers as possible for the books I write, both now and in the future. Trusting them with this large body of work is my pleasure. We are excellent allies and good friends."
"Since we first began publishing Stephen King with Bag of Bones, he has continually challenged and inspired us, bringing to us new and exciting books of astonishing range and variety, that are each and every one an event for reader and publisher alike," said Carolyn Reidy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Simon & Schuster, Inc. "So after nearly twenty years in which he has energized and touched nearly every part of our company, we well know and understand the strength and power of his backlist, and are simply overjoyed to have this rare opportunity to bring to Simon & Schuster this vibrant and vital catalog of Stephen's earlier works."
"As we are daily grateful to Scribner's Max Perkins for F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, our successors will be grateful to us for Stephen King, whose books will get under the skin of readers long after we are gone," said Nan Graham. "Scribner is honored and thrilled to have published Steve for two decades, to look forward to a future of publishing him, and to take on this magnificent backlist. In addition to being one of the greatest storytellers of all time, Stephen King is a stellar citizen of the book world. We love his writing. We love him."
"For almost the entire course of my long career in publishing, Stephen King has been a towering feature of the international book publishing landscape," said Susan Moldow, President of the Scribner Publishing Group. "Empires have risen and fallen, but Stephen King has continued to both dominate bestseller and year-end best-of lists. It is a joy beyond imagining to welcome these core titles to Scribner's venerable backlist."
"Pocket Books enthusiastically embraces adding these wonderful books to our existing King backlist program which continues to provide robust sales for all of our booksellers in paperback," said Louise Burke, President of the Gallery Books Publishing Group.
"Stephen King's support for the audiobook medium is unmatched by any author," said Chris Lynch, President and Publisher, Simon & Schuster Audio. "From his willingness to publish original audiobooks to his advocacy of the joys of listening to his occasional stints behind the microphone, Steve has been the perfect publishing partner from day one. We are thrilled to expand that partnership."
In the two decades since Scribner became Stephen King's publisher, he has written many of his most critically-acclaimed books, from Lisey's Story to On Writing, from the culmination of the Dark Tower series to Under the Dome and 11/22/63. In this time, he has also won numerous literary honors, from the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters to the National Medal of Arts, recently presented by President Obama. King's audiobooks have won multiple Audie Awards, including Best Fiction wins for Doctor Sleep, Duma Key, and The Talisman and Audible Audiobook of the Year wins for 11/22/63 and Doctor Sleep. Stephen King's short story collection The Bazaar of Bad Dreams will be published by Scribner on November 3.
Nan Graham negotiated the agreement on behalf of Scribner, Gallery/Pocket Books, and Simon & Schuster Audio with literary agent Chuck Verrill of Darhansoff & Verrill.
Scribner is an imprint of Simon & Schuster, Inc., a part of CBS Corporation. Simon & Schuster is a global leader in the field of general interest publishing, dedicated to providing the best in fiction and nonfiction for consumers of all ages, across all printed, electronic, and audio formats. Its divisions include Simon & Schuster Adult Publishing, Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, Simon & Schuster Audio, Simon & Schuster Digital, and international companies in Australia, Canada, India and the United Kingdom.

32+ How to Create Cosy Services in Your Balcony – Without we even realize, there are so many potential places in our house. And sometimes, we just don't think that we can make something in these places.
Just like a balcony for example. Many of us just think that it is a part of the outdoor space. While actually, we can make something there.
If you have a neglected balcony, it's time for you to benefit that. A balcony can be a precious place for us to drink with friends. Or even just for us to read in the spare times.
There are many ways to make your balcony as the cosiest place in your home.
What you need to decorate a cozy balcony is a concept. In apartment balcony decorating, it is not just about placing a set of furniture. You have to create something like a theme. the theme is also very important in deciding the purpose of your balcony.
After you decide the theme, you have to plan what furniture design you need. You cannot just prepare the chairs and a table. You also need lighting and other accessories for a balcony decor.
Besides the primary furniture pieces like chairs and table, you can add a hammock in your balcony. Not only a hammock, but you can add a hanging chair or remove the ordinary couch with the hanging couch.
Yet, more importantly, you need to consider the proportion of your balcony. Don't put big furniture set that will remain no space for accessories.
That's why you can just place a couple of sofa or single chairs. You can also make a floor seating concept. Besides of the chairs and sofa, you shall place a rug and some cushions, too.
If you want to relate the balcony with the outdoor concept, you should concern with the furniture material. You shall utilize the furniture with more natural materials like rattan or seagrass.
In your balcony, you also shouldn't neglect the lighting choice. It's very essential to use less risky lighting. Moreover, you can use decorative lighting instead of of-of indirect lighting. Lantern or string or floor lamps will be good choices.
If you want a non-monotonous balcony, you shall create layers in your balcony. The layer here is not only about the fabrication of the furniture. But, it is also about the colors. Even if you want a monochromatic concept, don't underestimate the color layering effect.
You can make a certain monochromatic scheme by employing the monochromatic colors from the lightest to darkest. You are also very allowed to use different fabric patterns.
Last, don't forget the indoor plants to decorate your balcony. The greens and flowers will make your balcony looks even more colorful.
So, in this balcony, you need to arrange for small dining and relax. Even if they are small enough, you can make your balcony as one of the most special areas in your house. Now, you can enjoy the morning sun or summer in your balcony without having to out of the house.

CFA Cup Quarterfinals Wrap: Derbies abound in the semis
bcheng
Last night's results set up two "derbies" in the CFA Cup semifinals as Shandong Luneng will travel to Qingdao while Jiangsu and Shenhua face off. There was plenty of pain last night with Beijing Guoan and Henan Jianye crashing out on penalties while Shenhua's derby dominance continued with a win over Shenxin.
Qingdao Hainiu 6-5 (pk) Henan Jinaye
Qingdao will get a storybook semifinal as the only China League side remaining in the competition gets to host provincial rivals Shandong Luneng. The seasiders opened up scoring in the opening half, but couldn't hold onto the league against the top flight Henan, who equalized in the 52nd minute. From there the two sides held on until penalties, where a victorious Qingdao emerged.
Beijing Guoan 4-6 (pk) Shandong Luneng
These two sides battled back and forth throughout the night, with each going down to 10 men, but only one remained standing in the end. Guoan drew first blood just past the half hour mark, a beautiful goal by Erton, but Shandong was able to find an equalizer late in the second half and Guoan simply couldn't find a winner, despite plenty of pressure. It went to penalty kicks and Manzano made some odd choices for his kick takers, sitting Piao Cheng, Chen Zhizhao, and Zhang Chengdong and allowing Darko Matic and Xu Yunlong to take penalties, Xu missed, and it was goodnight Guoan.
Shanghai Shenhua 4-2 Shanghai Shenxin
After an absolutely dreadful first-half, Shenhua came back from behind to knock city rivals Shenxin out of the cup and win by a scoreline which suggested the home side had an easier time of things that they actually did. In a match marred by a second half rumpus after a controversial challenge on Gio Moreno (see main pic), both sides struggled in the humid Shanghai night. On loan striker Utaka caused a lot of problems fora home defence which featured three midfielders playing out of position, but Shenhua's new Brazilian striker Henrique scored a second-half brace, as did back-from-injury Moreno who put in a performance which was both wasteful and majestic in equal measure.
Qingdao Zhongneng 1-2 Jiangsu Sainty
The other Qingdao side was also still in the competition and may have had thoughts of glory after going 1-0 up in the 16th minute. However, Jiangsu was too much for the lower league side, with a five minute burst of energy that saw them score twice, in the 36th and 41st minute, and then hold on.
Brandon Chemers aka B. Cheng aka A Modern Lei Feng – is a name which may be familiar to many in the Chinese blogosphere. He currently serves as Editor-in-Chief for Wild East Football and is one of the lonely souls writing about Chinese football in English for the last 10 years. Chemers' credentials are second to none – his former blog focused not only on the fortunes of his beloved Beijing Guoan FC, but a multitude of other aspects of Beijing life. He's deservedly built a reputation in the Chinese blogosphere as an insightful observer of not only Chinese football, but also the wider picture of life in modern China and its many layers. For WEF, beyond writing about Guoan, he often focuses on fan culture and the business of Chinese football.

The court can be reached by telephone at: 478-862-3357 and fax at 478-862-9447. The magistrate judge is Chief Magistrate Dianne Renfroe.
The court selects the hearing date after the defendant responds to the claim in Taylor County. Hearing dates are usually 15 to 30 days after the date the answer was filed.
What types of cases are filed in Taylor County Small Claims Court?
The defendant is able to sue the plaintiff (this is called a counterclaim). The defendant can file this against the plaintiff's original claim if the defendant's claim is related to the plaintiff's initial claim and the amount asked for by the defendant is less than $15,000. A defendant's counterclaim is generally heard at the same time and date as the plaintiff's original claim.
Is Taylor County the "proper" County for my case?
If the defendant is a person, the case must be filed in the County where they live. If the person you are suing is a corporation, the case must be filed in the County where the registered agent for service of process is located. (Contact the Corporations Division of the Secretary of State either online or at 404-656-2817 to find out if a business is a corproation and the name and address of the registered agent). If the defendant is an unincorporated business (fancy for is not a corporation), file the case in the county where the business is physically located (ie. if the business is located in Taylor County, file it here).
The plaintiff must also pay a filing fee. This filing fee includes the cost for the clerk to serve one defendant. Filing fees vary county to county but are generally between $45 and $55. If an additional defendant is named in the action, there is an extra charge for serving the additional party. This extra charge could be between $25 and $35.
The Taylor County Clerk for the Magistrate Court can help you complete the necessary forms but CANNOT give legal advice. For example, the court clerk would be able to review your completed forms to make sure your signature is in the appropriate blanks but is not able to tell you which defendant you should sue. Also, the clerk will not be able to tell you if they think you will win.
If you are not happy with the court's decision (and generally at least one party, sometimes both, are not satisfied with the judgment), the party may file an appeal (or ask a higher court to review the judgment). The appeal will be heard in the state or superior court of Taylor County. Either party may request a jury trial for purposes of the appeal (something which is unavailable at the magistrate court level). The appeal needs to be filed within thirty days of the court's decision.
If the defendant fails to appear at the hearing or respond to the claim, the judge can issue a default judgment against the defendant. If it is granted, the plaintiff is entitled to the amount of damages asked for in the suit, plus court costs. An additional hearing by the court will be necessary if the plaintiff asked for something that does not have a specific dollar amount. The defendant has only thirty days to respond to the caim. If the defendant fails to respond, the defendant is in default.
Taylor County Small Claim courts may also be referred to as Magistrate Courts. If you are unable to settle a dispute with a person or business, the matter can be filed in magistrate court.
Some counties require you to go to mediation before a hearing in front of a judge. Mediation is an attempt to try and settle the case without a hearing. Even if the parties agree to settle the case out of court, the plaintiff may still ask the defendant to pay court costs (costs for filing the case, serving defendants, any subpoenas issues, etc.). If the parties cannot agree to settle the case, the the court will hear arguments presented by the plaintiff and the defendant. The court will also allow the plaintiff and defendant to question or dispute each other's evidence during the hearing. When all parties are finished presenting their evidence, the court will render a decision. The court may award damages to the plaintiff, defendant, both, or none of the parties depending on what the facts of the case warrant.
After the case is filed the court clerk serves the defendant with a copy of the claim along with a summons. From that point, the defendant has thirty days to respond or answer.
Can I hire an attorney for my Taylor County Small Claims Court case?
We cannot tell you whether or not you should hire an attorney. However, you may hire an attorney if you wish, but are not required to do so. You are able to file the case on your own completely without the assistance of an attorney. These cases are tried and heard in front of a judge, without a jury (again, they are designed so a party does not need to retain an expensive attorney to represent them in a case). Sometimes, mediation is recommended or required before the judge will hear the case.

Q: why do we need a return statement in main while using C why do we need a return function in main in C?
Because when I tried writing a statement after the return statement in main the statement after the main did not get executed but it should be executed after the control returns from the calling function back to the main it should execute the statement after the return statement till a closing bracket is encountered?
example:
int main()
 {
   printf("Hello World");
   return 0;
   printf("hi"); // This does not gets executed
 }

A:
Why do we need a return function in main in C?

The return value from main() is returned to the "system" and interpreted as a process exit code which can be used in shell scripts and batch files for example.  In Windows for example:
> myprogram
Hello World
> echo myprogram returned %errorlevel%
myprogram returned 0

[...] it should execute the statement after the return statement till a closing bracket is encountered?

No. A function returns when a return is encountered (clue is in the name!) or at the closing brace - whichever occurs first.  A return statement can appear anywhere in a function and a function may have more than one return statement. If the closing brace is encountered before a return, then that is an implicit return which for a non-void function is undefined behaviour if the caller attempts to use the return value.
When you return from main() control is returned to the system, and in a hosted environment that terminates the process and the OS recovers resources, closes files etc.

A: The 'return' statement is not a function call. It is actually the opposite. Instead of calling another function, so that a new function gets added to the call stack, it causes the current function to exit, as if the end of the function block had been reached. This causes the current function to get removed from the call stack.
For this reason, any code written after an unconditional return statement is unreachable and will never get executed.

A: return is a keyword not a function. It returns from the currently executing function to the caller.
The main function is called from the startup code, and usually the return value contains the exit status from the program.

The C&D and beyond.
Northern Chesapeake
I am, in fact, home already; back in Michigan. It was a beautiful, indelible, life changing experience, but the trip is over. More on that later. Here, I pick up where I had left off - on the Delaware River, just south of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
The sun was going down as we arrived just off Port Penn, Delaware and the locals were swarming at the end of opening day for Rock Fish. We had come off the river and gone behind the underwater dike and dropped anchor near Reedy Island. Fishermen and fisherwomen, young and old, in all manner of boats, shouted back and forth checking on each other's haul. Everyone seemed to know everyone else and
Port Penn Sunset
many greeted us warmly as well. By the time we had made some supper, the fishing boats had gone home leaving us alone in the quiet backwater with a beautiful sunset splashing over the quaint town. The haunting silence of a gigantic nuclear plant on the New Jersey side of the river belied the actual peace and quiet.
As was our habit, we woke with the freshening dawn and hoisted the anchor. And as usual we were greeted with an amazing sunrise. Eleanor glided back
Delaware Sunrise
past the bizarre dike, now partially visible at low tide, and re-entered the Delaware River. Even the nuclear power plant looked less daunting in the soft morning light. We knew it would be some time before we raised any sail again. And even though we were way north of "Mile Zero," we had begun the first canal slog of many to come.
The C&D Canal connects the Chesapeake and the Delaware River; hence the name. We entered at the eastern end, and it was marsh to the south and woods to the north, for miles straddling the dead straight canal. It was beautiful in its own way but not overly inspiring just the same. The wilderness was broken occasionally by a fixed span bridge looming out of the trees. We passed a marina hidden back in an oxbow created by the canal cutting off what was a bend in the river. Chesapeake City, DE is a charming river town with an inviting marina on the north shore and a couple interesting looking restaurants in town to the south. We passed rambled down homesteads, fabulous vacation homes and a boatyard with tugs and barges in varying states of repair or neglect. We were moving toward our destination and it was a beautiful, if slightly overcast day.
Through the canal, we reached the relatively open water of the Elk River. We
Open Water again.
had crossed over into the Chesapeake Watershed, a huge body of water with hundreds of rivers, creeks, bays and coves. Rivers that feed the watershed extend well into the Allegheny Mountains of Central Pennsylvania. With one eye on the depth sounder and the other on the increasing boat traffic, we crashed through the waves and kept close to the marked channel. The sun was out but the wind opposed the current stirring up the chop. The new open expanse of water gave us the false sense that we had lots of water below us as well, but we had to be wary for there were many small shoals and shifting bars. The captain's philosophy is that there are fewer surprises in the channel than out of it. I smiled and scribbled that in my journal.
As we got further into the upper Chesapeake, the commercial traffic increased. There were barges and tugs with strange assortments of cargo and gear. We passed by the mouths of the Bush River, the Gunpowder River and the Back River. At the confluence with the Patapsco River, came much more traffic and
The Ugly Side of Consumerism
bigger ships, including container freighters headed for the City of Baltimore, just upriver from there. We eased by the Belvidere Shoals, yet another "Sandy Point" and headed for the Governor William Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial Bridge. After a delay caused by World War II, Gov. Lane had been instrumental in getting construction started on the bridge, affectionately called the "Bay Bridge."
Just under the bridge and off to the west, we got out of the ship traffic and smack into the cacophony of America's Sailing Capital - Annapolis, MD. We dodged a group of dinghy racers, stayed out of the way of buzzing launches, tried to interpret where the anchorage actually was and which boats were actually anchored. Beyond the anchorage into town, the mooring balls were all occupied and the whole space thrummed with activity. Much had changed since the captain was last here. Alex gave me the wheel and I kept Eleanor in a slow circle as he went below and poured over the chart.
Alex emerged, as captains do, with a plan. We could just fit under the Baltimore Annapolis Blvd Bridge. Beyond it, Skipper Bob's ICW Anchorage List promised a quiet anchorage in a creek where the Navy had some hurricane moorings. We strained our necks watching the massive concrete bridge beams flirt with Eleanor's masthead antenna, but we made it under - just. Beyond the bridge and a little farther upriver, we found the peaceful creek and dropped anchor between a beautiful old trawler and a little sailboat. Eight or ten other boats gently
Sunrise over the Bay Bridge
tugged at their anchors between the banks of neighborhood docks and patios. We were deeper into the heart of Annapolis, but it was much quieter. We made a simple supper and sacked out, never leaving the boat. The next morning we would start all over again with the dawning light.

Tag: Penalty Kill
Will Deryk Engelland's Role Be Reduced in 2019-2020?
By Jason Pothier
In Fans, News, Personnel, Team Ops
Now that the wait is over and fan favorite Deryk Engelland signed his new contract to stay in Las Vegas, it's time to discuss his future impact. First off, let's note that Engelland will receive less money in 2019-2020 but will have a chance to make up for it.
Deryk Engelland has re-signed with the Golden Knights for the league minimum of $700,000 with performance bonuses which could reach as high as $1.5 millon.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) July 23, 2019
At 37-years-old you'd assume his overall presence would begin to drop off. After all, his time on ice dwindled from 20:17 ATOI in 2017-18, to 19:53 ATOI in 2018-19. I'm being sarcastic, that's not much of a difference. Same can be said for his penalty kill minutes, it's virtually equal to VGK's first season and I could argue he was as good if not better in 2018-19.
Just take a look at Engelland's 2019 Postseason penalty killing performance.
Game 1: 4:26 PK Minutes (Game Leader), 1 Goal/5 San Jose Power Plays
Game 3: 4:16 PK Minutes (Team Leader), 1 Goal/3 Power Plays
Game 4: 4:31 PK Minutes, 0 Goals/4 San Jose Power Plays
Game 7: 7:56 PK Minutes (Game Leader), *4 Goals/9 San Jose Power Plays
Total: 36:28 PK Minutes, 5 Goals/34 Power Plays, 0.13 San Jose PPG when Engelland was on the ice.
*You all know why there's an asterisk
So just on defensive special teams alone, Engelland's return is a positive one. However, the issue could be on even-strength. How will the Golden Knights coaching staff deploy the elder statesmen this season? Is it possible Jon Merrill, Nick Holden(if still on the roster), or Rookie d-men see more time on 5v5 than in 2018-19. That direction would balance Engelland's minutes under 18-19 minutes a game. Which could be more beneficial for the team.
A big part of my game is killing penalties-Deryk Engelland
Another element to Engelland's 2019-2020 usage will be who he is paired up with. Over the past two seasons, it's been a consistent dose of Engelland and Shea Theodore. I'd assume with the uncertainty of the younger defenseman, that pairing would remain the same to start training camp and the season. That doesn't mean it will stay that way, and frankly I don't think it will. With the possibility of a rookie in the lineup nightly, Vegas may want to break in the young blueliner with an experienced, reliable defenseman like Engelland. It worked for Theodore.

In a perfect world, Engelland would see less even-strength minutes and continue to be a rock on the penalty kill. Keep in mind the Golden Knights paid him less money to stay which could be a sign the organization sees Engelland playing a lesser role this season. Or it's just another shrewd business move by the front office.
Either way, subtracting 5v5 minutes means fresher legs on the PK. It's an easy, obvious approach to distribute minutes and get the most out of the 37-year-old in 2019-2020. It's almost too obvious if a half-wit like me can figure it out. Clearly he's valued and trusted on the ice by the coaching staff which would lead you to believe they expect the same #5 out there. And how can you fault them after two successful seasons with Vegas?
VG(P)K
In Game Analysis
The numbers on the VGK penalty kill against Washington were staggering. (Photo Credit: SinBin.vegas Photographer Brandon Andreasen)
In a year of inconsistency, there has been one constant in the Golden Knights game throughout the first 29 games. It's the league's 2nd ranked penalty kill which just so happens to be the #1 PK at home and has killed 20 straight penalties at T-Mobile Arena.
The Golden Knights have killed penalties off at an 85.2% clip and are well over 90% on home ice, but never, and by that I mean in the history of the franchise, has the PK shown up bigger than it did on Tuesday night.
Following the Ryan Reaves ejection, the Capitals, who already had a 2-1 lead, went on the man-advantage for five minutes spanning over two periods. Not only did the Golden Knights kill it off, they barely even allowed a scoring chance. Vegas went on to kill two more penalties in the 3rd amassing a perfect 5 for 5 kill against a team scoring on more than 25% of their power plays.
It was big. Obviously, we had killed one of the best power plays in the league tonight. The guys responded because they were trying to pick up Ryan. They did an outstanding job. I think there was two more in the third period that they had to kill. I think we killed nine minutes of the 15-minute span there between the second and the third period and we did outstanding. -Gerard Gallant
Despite spending just short of 11 minutes at 5-on-4, the Capitals mustered up just three shots on goal. According to NaturalStatTrick.com, Washington had just one scoring chance on their five power plays and not a single high-danger chance.
That's a lethal power play there, I think we did a really good job of forcing pressure down ice and kind of rattling them and when they got into the zone they were kind of tired or mishmashed or not enough guys up on the ice. That was big for us momentum-wise, big for our penalty kill, big for our team. -Eakin
Aside from one shot from Ovechkin's office and another from nearly the same spot that John Carlson missed, the Capitals PP spent most of the time trying to enter the zone, changing players, or struggling to fan the puck around to Ovechkin. It was essentially the perfect game penalty killing for the Golden Knights.
Who Plays When On Special Teams?
The Golden Knights power play king. (Photo Credit: SinBin.vegas Photographer Brandon Andreasen)
The Golden Knights continue to be one of the most disciplined teams in the NHL. Vegas is one of the least penalized teams allowing 7.5 penalty minutes per game (PIM). Players have committed the fourth least PIMs in the league, and opponents have only 82 Power Play opportunities against (PPOA) the Golden Knights. For comparison sake, Nashville has allowed 114 PPOA.
When it comes to shorthanded (SH) situations, Gerard Gallant relies heavily on six players. Four out of the top five penalty killers are defensemen. Deryk Engelland clearly leads the group with 71:15 total SHTOI. Forwards Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Reilly Smith, Cody Eakin and William Karlsson are also called upon to kill penalties for Gallant.

Deep Frozen Arctic Microbes Are Waking Up
Thawing permafrost is releasing microorganisms, with consequences that are still largely unknown
By Kimberley R. Miner, Arwyn Edwards, Charles Miller on November 20, 2020
Thermokarst, Russia. Credit: Alamy
In August 2019, Iceland held a funeral for the Okjökull Glacier, the first Icelandic glacier lost to climate change. The community commemorated the event with a plaque in recognition of this irreversible change and the grave impacts it represents. Globally, glacier melt rates have nearly doubled in the last five years, with an average loss of 832 mmw.e. (millimeters water equivalent) in 2015, increasing to 1,243 mmw.e. in 2020 (WGMS). This high rate of loss decreases glacial stores of freshwater and changes the structure of the surrounding ecosystem.
In the last 10 years, warming in the Arctic has outpaced projections so rapidly that scientists are now suggesting that the poles are warming four times faster than the rest of the globe. This has led to glacier melt and permafrost thaw levels that weren't forecast to happen until 2050 or later. In Siberia and northern Canada, this abrupt thaw has created sunken landforms, known as thermokarst, where the oldest and deepest permafrost is exposed to the warm air for the first time in hundreds or even thousands of years.
As the global climate continues to warm, many questions remain about the periglacial environment. Among them: as water infiltration increases, will permafrost thaw more rapidly? And, if so, what long-frozen organisms might "wake up"?
Permafrost covers 24 percent of the Earth's land surface, and the soil constituents vary with local geology. Arctic lands offer unexplored microbial biodiversity and microbial feedbacks, including the release of carbon to the atmosphere. In some locations, hundreds of millions of years' worth of carbon is buried. The layers may still contain ancient frozen microbes, Pleistocene megafauna and even buried smallpox victims. As the permafrost thaws with increasing rapidity, scientists' emerging challenge is to discover and identify the microbes, bacteria and viruses that may be stirring.
Some of these microbes are known to scientists. Methanogenic Archaea, for example metabolize soil carbon to release methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Other permafrost microbes (methanotrophs) consume methane. The balance between these microbes plays a critical role in determining future climate warming.
Others are known but have unpredictable behavior after release. New evidence of genes moving between thawing ecosystems indicates a restructuring at multiple levels. In the Arctic Ocean, planktonic Chloroflexi bacteria recently acquired genes used for degrading carbon from land-based Actinobacteria species. As melt-swollen Arctic rivers carried sediments from thawing permafrost to the sea, the genes for processing permafrost carbon were also transported.
Permafrost thaw in Siberia led to a 2016 anthrax outbreak and the death of 200,000 reindeer and a child.* But the hardy spores of Bacillus anthracis may represent an exception to the brutal freeze-thaw cycle that degrades more delicate bacterial and viral pathogens. Their adaptable characteristics have allowed them to remain frozen and viable over centuries of inactivity.
Organisms that co-evolved within now-extinct ecosystems from the Cenozoic to the Pleistocene may also emerge and interact with our modern environment in entirely novel ways. A potential example, the emerging Orthopoxvirus species Alaskapox causing skin lesions, has appeared and disappeared in Alaska twice in the last five years. It is possible that the virus was transmitted through animal-human contact, but this novel virus's origin remains unknown.
The microbiomes of the Arctic contain resilient and tenacious cold-adapted microbes. Some species survive as psychrophiles, a type of specialist specieshighly adapted to prolonged exposure to subfreezing conditions. These species may be lost with warming. Others survive by being highly adaptable, inhabiting many, varied niches. Understanding more about these generalists' ecology and genomic diversity offers a window into the microbiome of the New Arctic. These generalist microbes that adapt to diverse conditions are the likely winners, as we lose the cryosphere.
And then there are microbes that are entirely unfamiliar to scientists, which may represent a novel threat.
It is clear that the warmer we make the Arctic, the weirder it will get, as temperatures at the surface become more extreme and thawing deepens. With the coalescence of microbes reawakening from the deep and surface conditions unprecedented in human history, it is challenging to assess risks accurately without improved Arctic microbial datasets. We should pay attention to both known unknowns, such as antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and unknown unknowns, including the potential risks from the resurrection of ancient and poorly described viral genomes from Arctic ice by synthetic biologists.
For all of these reasons, we must come up with guidelines for future Arctic research. As travel through the region increases, the likelihood of pathogen export and import rises as well. The planetary protection guidelines that space agencies follow to prevent interplanetary contamination can provide a framework for how microbial investigation can safely continue. Biosurveillance measures must be put into place to protect communities in the Arctic and beyond. As the Arctic continues to transform, one thing is clear: as climate change warms this microbial repository during the 21st century, the full range of consequences is yet to be told.

The Index is generated from an extensive survey of global logistics professionals asking their views on current levels of volumes in the industry and their expectations for six months' time. An index value of 50 indicates no change in the volumes currently being experienced for the time of year; above 50 indicates higher volumes, while below 50 indicates lower volumes.
In July, the index for the current logistics situation – air and sea freight combined – fell to 43.3 from 44.6 in the previous month. This signifies that volumes are well below what forwarders would have expected. Air freight forwarders continued to express less confidence compared with sea freight forwarders, possibly as a result of a shift from air to sea freight as shippers seek to lower transport costs. At 41.1 the index for air freight fell to its lowest level so far, while the index for sea freight remained almost flat at 45.4 (45.7 in June). The index for logistics expectations for six months' time also fell further in July. The total index for both air and sea expectations now stands at 56.4.
Sentiment among air forwarders was particularly low in July, with lower confidence expressed in every trade lane. There was very little variation among individual trade lanes. Air forwarders on the Asia to Europe route continued to indicate the weakest sentiment with regards to current volumes, while the US to Europe route registered the highest index value, albeit at just 42.1.
The index for air freight volume expectations fell to 56.0 from 57.8 in June, indicating forwarders were slightly less optimistic about the outlook for the next six months. The index for the US to Europe trade lane saw the greatest decline at 54.5 in July compared with 57.3 expressed in June.
The index for sea freight has remained virtually unchanged since April. There were only minor changes among the individual trade lane indices. Forwarders on the Europe to Asia and Europe to US routes expressed slightly more optimism compared with June; while forwarders on the European bound trade lanes saw the indices register minor declines.
In terms of the outlook for the next six months, the total index fell to 56.8 from 58.2 in the previous month. Forwarders across all trade lanes expected a decline in prospects compared with June.
