Velvet worms spin web of intrigue
Velvet worm
The Australian velvet worm Euperipatoides rowelli is a living fossil that has been puzzling researchers for years (Image: Paul Sunnucks)
The soft and elusive velvet worm might look like a pretty caterpillar. But its brain is strikingly similar to that of a spider, new international research shows.
The architecture of the worm's brain has more in common with a spider's brain than with the brains of other arthropods, researchers report in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.
Velvet worms have a body formation between that of a worm and an insect and for many years scientists believed they were the'missing link' between the two.
This view was supported not only by the way they look, but also by the fact that they date back 540 million years.
Researchers including Associate Professor David Rowell from the Australian National University in Canberra were interested in finding out whether this was true.
They found out that the worms are not a sister group of the arthropods, but lie within the arthropods and share a common ancestry.
The team catalogued aspects of the microanatomy of various arthropod brains and then loaded the information into a computer program designed to sort out molecular lineages and create a 'family tree'.
"We found the [worms] did actually fall within the arthropods and are very similar to the chelicerates [spiders and scorpions]. The brains of the velvet worms looked strikingly like spider brains," Rowell says.
"That's interesting for a number of reasons. Firstly because it's not something we've seen before, and secondly because the worms don't carry many of the body characteristics of the chelicerates and yet their brain structure suggests that they are [similar].
"We can only assume that [over time] they lost a lot of the characters that identified them as chelicerates."
Velvet worms, or onychophorans, are extremely rare and are only found along the east coast of Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, South Africa, South America and along the tropics.
Contrary to the way they look, they are vicious carnivores that "eat almost anything that moves", Rowell says.
They trap their prey by firing a sticky goo over them.

Let's say a blue dwarf makes the final connection to the gold. However, there are two paths that one could take to get from the ladder to the gold. One of these paths has a blue door, one of them has no doors. Obviously the blue dwarf would prefer to use the path with the door, so does the player who makes the final connection get to choose what path to use? Or does it go by shortest path to the gold? Basically, what are the rules to determine what path counts as the "final path"?
There's no such concept. The following are the win conditions for the red and blue teams from the rules:
A dwarf from the blue team created the connection, and there is a path that's not blocked by a red door, so the blue team wins, and the red team does not. That's it.
The only way the red team can win if a dwarf from the blue team creates the connection is if the blue team can't win (i.e. every path is blocked by red doors).

Encryption time and performance are much slower for Advanced Format Drives (AFD).
None. Only slow performance.
SEE Full Disk is not fully compatible with Advanced Format Drives. A workaround is needed in order for the drive to encrypt and perform at an acceptable level.
Solution and workaround is provided with SEE Full Disk v8.2.1 MP4 and later versions
Note: Symantec recommends that you back up the Windows Registry before making any changes.
To optimize encryption on these drives, perform the following steps:
1. Open your Windows Registry.
2. Go to the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Encryption Anywhere\Hard Disk\Initial Computer Data] key.
3. Create a new DWORD Value and name it as EnableOptimization.
4. Set the Value data to 1. To disable optimization set the Value data to 0.
5. Restart the computer for the change to take effect.
The solution mentioned above has worked for both Hitachi and Western Digital Advanced Format Drives.


Denton and Harlaxton - long and short
Enjoy a circular walk in and around these two pretty rural villages that lie at the edge of the Trent and Belvoir Vales and close to the border with Leicestershire. The walks use village and field paths to visit Denton Reservoir, the Grantham Canal, and Denton and Harlaxton villages. The walks start at Denton which lies approximately three miles (five kilometres) south west of Grantham.
Shorter route
3.5 miles (5.5 kilometres)
1.75 hours
Longer route
four miles (6.5 kilometres)
two hours
Starting point
St Andrew's Church
NG32 1LG
Grid reference SK 865 325.
 1. From the church follow the road around to the right and past the school. Go straight on at the first junction and at the second turn left onto Casthorpe Road.
 2. Approximately 100m after the cottages, cross the stream and turn right onto the public footpath and follow it along a track and across the field to the far right hand corner up a bank. Cross a track (the old mineral railway line) and carry straight on beside the the feeder stream to the reservoir. Walk 3/4 of the
 way around the reservoir (approximately0.5 miles or 800m).
 3. Turn left onto a public footpath which goes down some steps and across a bridge. Carry on in the same direction between two hedges and then along a field edge/track. At the field corner go over the bridge ahead and follow the footpath across/around the field to the far corner. Go through the gap in the hedge. The Grantham Canal is now on your left.
 4. For the shorter walk turn right following the restricted byway. Go through a field gate to join a track which will lead you uphill to the road. Cross the road (take care crossing this busy road) and walk down Rectory Lane to the corner and turn right onto West End. Rejoin the walk directions at point 7.
 For the longer walk carry straight on alongside the canal to the road and turn right.
 5. At the crossroads, with the A607, go straight on (take care crossing this busy road) onto Harlaxton High Street.
 6. Walk past the shop and turn right up some steps onto a footpath opposite the telephone box and village cross, to the church. Follow the path to the left hand side of the church and out of the churchyard. Continue on in the same direction along the field edge, through a yard and across another field, bearing slightly to the left, to a gate onto a road.
 7. Cross the road and walk along West End and continue straight on through a gate to a field. Bear diagonally right across the field aiming to the right of the line of trees in the hedge, to the main road. Cross the road with care and take the footpath opposite diagonally left across the field. At the old railway line turn right then almost immediately left and continue in the same direction over a footbridge. Bear right across the field to the far right hand corner. Follow this path back to Denton Main Street.
 8. Cross the road and follow the public footpath between two cottages almost immediately opposite. Cross the bridge and continue straight on under the horse chestnut trees to a gate. Turn right down the road and follow the public footpath on the left behind the school, to return to the church.

Deploying System States to Clients
Last Modified: April 1, 2021
Create a state to deploy the same system image and set of packages to multiple systems.
A state is any set of packages installed on a system. After you define a state, you can apply it to other systems to more quickly deploy packages to multiple systems.
 1. In SystemLink Web Application, in Systems Management, click Systems.
 2. Double-click the system from which you want to create a state.
 You can also manually define a state under Systems Management»States»»Create.
 3. Click More »Create State.
 4. Specify the workspace the state belongs to. Only users in the workspace you specify can use the state. You can reassign the state to another workspace at any time.
 5. Review feeds, packages, and the image for your system to ensure you want to include them in the state.
 If you include a system image in the state, you can only apply it to NI Linux RT targets. Applying the state erases all currently installed software or data from the primary hard drive of the target.
 6. Optional: Customize the state to include additional packages in your state that are not currently installed on the system. Specify the feeds you need to access the additional packages you want to include.
 1. Under Feeds, click Add.
 2. Specify a feed from a package repository, a URL, or the Downloads page.
 3. Check the box for each package you want to include in your state.
 7. Click Create to finalize the state.
 8. In Systems, select the systems you want to apply the state to.
 9. Click Software.
 10. In the States tab, click Install next to the state(s) you want to apply. The States tab appears only if the feeds and packages in the state are compatible with the systems you select.
 11. Click Next and review the packages and feeds the state contains.
 12. Click Apply.
You can see the software installed on your system in the Available tab.

Lite Touch
Inside the Task Sequence – Generate Application Migration File
Today during class we worked on Refresh and Replace scenarios. We touched based on a tiny step in the Task Sequence that is actually really cool. In the Task Sequence for Lite Touch (MDT Standalone) there is one step that does not exist in Zero Touch and that is the "Generate Application Migration File" step.
That little step will do a really smart thing, it will basically make sure that registered file types that can be open with an application will automatically be saved by USMT. It does that by grabbing all non-default file types and then check if there is a corresponding application that can open the file by examining the registry.
image
The "Generate Application Migration File" step.
So, what's cool about that step?
If you open the file it states:
' // Purpose: Generate an XML file for automatically capturing user data
' // (documents) associated with installed applications.
And if you continue looking in the file you will see the flow, like this:
' Determine the version of USMT to use
' Create the file and write the standard header
' Get the list of all registry keys in HKCR
' Look at all file extensions to see if they map to an application
' Read the default value to see what app is associated with this extension
' See if the file can be opened (has a shell\open\command handler)
' Add it to the XML file
' Write the rest of the XML file
' Make sure the ZTIUserState.wsf script knows to use this script
' Cleanup and Exit
So, that is why you don't need to spend a whole lot of time on USMT when doing Lite Touch.
Try It out
If you would like to see what it actually collects, you can run this interactive, that way it will generate a XML file. If you open it up you will then see what it would have migrated and not.
Open an elevated Command Prompt and execute the following:
cscript \\MDTSERVER\MDTSHARE\Scripts\ZTIAppXmlGen.wsf /capture
You will get an output that looks like this:
image
If you then open the XML (It is going to be located in C:\MININT\SMSOSD\OSDLOGS and named ZTIAppXmlGen.xml its going to look something like this

 1. You modify the default file （ZTIAppXmlGen.wsf ）in mdt ，is this ok？can I use directly migapp.xml in usmt5 ,then copy migapp.xml to \\MDTSERVER\MDTSHARE\Scripts\, next modify the file name is ZTIAppXmlGen.wsf，is this ok？thanks ,I hope you can reply to me。
 - ZTIAppXmlGen.wsf is something you don't touch,Why are not the same of your content files（ztiappxmlgen.wsf) and the content files(ztiappxmlgen.wsf)inside mdt.
 inside mdt conten files is:
 _URL_
 default ztiappxmlgen.xml migrate data is What effect？
 2. ZTIAppXmlGen.wsf is a script that generates the ztiappxmlgen.xml and add that file to the list that should be used for migration. The basic idea is to add known file extension and migrate that data, that is what I describe in the blog post. If you need to add items manually (files, registry values) you should create your own XML files. The ZTIAppXmlGen.wsf is not supported to change and there is basically no reason to do so either. I recommend you to look basic understanding on how USMT works, _URL_

This paper uses the example of the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine Libraries at the University of Edinburgh. It examines the changing course structure in veterinary medicine and shows how information skills training has developed to provide students with transferable skills which they can take into their veterinary career. This is particularly relevant as the profession is increasing the emphasis on continuing professional development. The paper investigates how staff in the Veterinary Libraries have collaborated with colleagues in the Medical Libraries, using the example of information skills training for medical students to tailor training for veterinary students. The paper will discuss how Library staff liaised with the Veterinary School to integrate information skills training into the undergraduate curriculum.
The paper will also discuss information skills training of postgraduate students and staff in the Veterinary School. Finally, the paper will show how the Veterinary Subject Guide on Library Online (_URL_ was developed to assist ease of access to resources for students. Relevance to the conference: The work described in this paper covers several of the conference themes including: training programmes, liaison with clients, teaching Internet search skills, knowledge sharing and developing library websites. Finally, it suggests that a 21st century veterinary library must develop to meet its clients' needs and provide them with the transferable skills they require in 21st century veterinary medicine.

This Film Is More Than 100 Years Old
To Demonstrate How Spiders Fly (1909)
To Demonstrate How Spiders Fly is a very short educational film (it's only a minute long), made using stop-motion animation to explain how spiders travel across unexpectedly large distances. It was directed by F. Percy Smith, a naturalist and photographer who helped pioneer the use of many now-familiar film-making techniques, such as time-lapse sequences.
I love spiders and I love stop-motion creatures and I utterly love this. What a wonderful thing.
And a hundred and ten years old.
1. I watched this, yes, via the BFI Player – To Demonstrate How Spiders Fly
2. I think this may be my favourite thing
3. I just wish I'd seen it earlier so I could have incorporated this knowledge into Spiders Are Wonderful (multiple winner of the factual book of the year award in 2011).

Mountain Tourism Conditions in Bulgaria are Bad
Bad conditions for hiking in the mountains are bad. This was reported by FOCUS News Agency by the Mountain Rescue Service (MRS) to the BRC.
Over the most of the mountains there will be rain. Weather is cloudy and foggy in many places. At Botev peak a hurricane wind blows, in the lower parts the wind is weaker. In some places, a snow cover of about 15-20 cm is formed.
The SCP warns that the rain that is raining now will melt it, but this means that as the temperatures fall in the coming days, ice will form. Exits to the mountain are not recommended except as a last resort.
The lifts will not work until the winter season is discovered. There are no recorded tourist incidents over the past 24 hours.

Spontaneous Healing- Confronting and Beating Terminal Illness By Sacha Tarkovsky

Spontaneous Healing – Confronting and Beating Terminal Illness
By Sacha Tarkovsky
Spontaneous healing has been seen by many medical doctors who have seen or heard about at least one patient with a supposed terminal condition such as cancer, and who miraculously recovered.
Spontaneous healing cannot be explained by conventional medicine which perceives 'illness' as separate from 'self'
This means illness can only be treated with outside agents such as surgery, pills, radiation, chemotherapy and a host of other medicines.
This a limited view of illness and other inputs need to be factored into the equation.
Body and mind are linked
Illness and the immune system need to be seen in the context our whole self. Our mind and our body are not separate, but interwoven and work together and influence each other.
The mind is not separate from the body and our moods and personality have an important impact on the healing process.
We have all heard stories of people who died, because they simply lost the will to live.
It is therefore obvious that if we have a will to live, our odds of recovery from any illness will improve dramatically.
The healing process
Improving our diet, our over-all health and our immune system contributes to the healing process and improves and impacts on our chances of recovery.
The process of healing is unique for everyone and no two individuals are exactly alike what works for one person may well not work for another.
You must use the techniques that are right for you. To maximize your body's ability to heal, you must know yourself and build your healing plan around self knowledge.
Our body has great potential to heal itself.
Thousands of cases of 'spontaneous' healing from serious life-threatening disease have been recorded and some people who "should" die didn't.
The ability of some people being able to survive can be put down to spontaneous healing and the influence of the whole self mind and body to combine and fight and overcome insurmountable odds.
With the renewed interest in the relationship between self and illness, many scientists and physicians have begun to study spontaneous healing from untreatable 'diseases.
By doing so they hope to use this knowledge so it can be used to aid the healing process in others.
People who survived untreatable diseases with spontaneous healing tend to have certain things in common listed below:
1. They have a strong belief in their body's ability to heal in spite of sometimes confronting insurmountable odds.
2. They assume responsibility for their health and recovery and don't necessarily belief everything the experts are telling them. Some are told they are guaranteed to die but they refused to accept their fate.
3. Many people undergo a 'spiritual transformation' – and find the joy to want to live more than ever before this re-awakening brings new meaning to their lives. Once spontaneous healing has occurred, they reflect on their illness as a blessing that transformed their mood personality and outlook.
4. People who have undergone spontaneous healing tend to have better more meaningful relationships with others.
5. People who undergo spontaneous healing tend to reassess their lives, making very significant changes to their diet, life-style, aims and aspirations making them feel better and derive more from life.
6. You are what you eat and many people who recover ditch the junk food and bad diet forever, moving towards a more healthy diet and lifestyle.
7. People who have experienced spontaneous healing enjoy life more; maybe only people who have been close to death can really appreciate the gift of life.
Man is more than the sum of the parts of the physical body.
He has both psychological and spiritual components.
The above traits clearly show that the mind is involved in overcoming illness.
Spontaneous healing refers to those situations where the body recovers its wholeness when normal body healing mechanisms have been exhausted and medicine fails, it is here the whole self comes into play:
A union of mind and body working together to achieve the healing process.

 WOW
 WOW and Amen
 I was told I had 2 years to live with stage 4 type 3.
 In my journey I got all PET scan results and have them on my computer. I studied the location of every hot spot, and then focused my energy on those points. I could feel the node that had the cancer. I felt it when it died.
 I said no to 3 protocol surgeries. This statement has to be tempered with the fact that quality of life at age 66 was a priority. This is not right for everyone.
 My sister was ned for 20 years and then had a tumor. The day before the surgery her doc asked for another scan. It was gone.

 healing
 I see a therapist who believes and I believe also the a person has the power to heal their self. The mind is more powerful than is known. Spontaneous healing may be what the medical calls it. Alot of us would say, God healed us. I am going to focus this year on being helpful to my family and putting cancer way back in the background. I pray they will find out why some cancer's come back. Soon will be my 3 year mark. My son is expected back from Iraq this month. Doing a happy dance!

The COVID-19 Task Force had a meeting on Thursday, October 28th. Here are the meeting notes from the Augsburg Staff Union representative.
Minnesota Department of Health Updates:
- MDH suggested keeping the masking requirements indoors through the end of November.
- During the MDH meeting, there was a discussion of what not to use antibody testing for.
- MDH has an updated K-12 decision tree which can also be used in the higher education setting.
- MDH is preparing training for those sharing reassuring and accurate vaccine information with the community.
- We are continuing to see a low number of cases per week– both vaccinated and unvaccinated.
- Vaccination numbers (students and faculty/staff) continue incremental improvement.
- Regional transmission is still very active.
- Testing Access Update:
- A summary of testing opportunities will be discussed with Augsburg Day Student Government regarding how to use and share the information.
- Communication Update:
- COVID Policy hold communication has been sent to students, with information to faculty and staff who may get questions from students.
- Federal approval of booster vaccinations added to Outbreak Planning site.
We set up a Google Form so Augsburg Staff Union members could state their questions or concerns to be addressed at the meeting. The following question was requested in advance of the meeting:
- Q: When an Augsburg staff, student, or faculty member gets a booster to their COVID-19 vaccine, do they need to or are they encouraged to report that info to Augsburg? If so, how?
- A: Dawn Miller addressed this briefly during the meeting. HR is waiting for more detailed guidance from OSHA about federal requirements. Employees are welcome to upload their booster information on the Human Resources page, but this is not a requirement at this time. As more information is clarified, this question will be provided a fuller answer at a future meeting.
Please note: Urgent questions related to COVID-19 should not be submitted via the Google Form, those questions should continue to be sent to _EMAIL_, calling _PHONE_, and/or by using the Augsburg self-reporting form.
The interim staff union representative will continue to send weekly updates based on information gathered in the COVID Task Force meetings and questions asked in the google form.

Definitions For Great Lakes Water Withdrawal Registration
For purposes of implementing the Great Lakes Water Conservation and Management Act, the following definitions are applicable for registering water withdrawals and losses.
- Facility is one or more pieces of water withdrawal equipment at the same site, including but not limited to any place of business, farm, factory, industrial or commercial site, institution, structure, open land, vessel, or rolling stock, where water is withdrawn for any purpose.
- Agriculture is the practice of farming on a farm for crops, plants, vines and trees; and the keeping, grazing or feeding of livestock for sale as livestock or livestock products.
- Farm is an agricultural business that may be composed of up to 25 non-contiguous parcels of land within a radius of 40 miles that are under the ownership or control of the same person.
- Water withdrawal is a withdrawal of surface or ground water from the Great Lakes Basin of 100,000 gallons per day averaged over 30 consecutive days.
- Water loss means the consumptive use of Great Lakes water, or the diversion of water out of the Great Lakes Basin, or both.
- Consumptive use is a use of water that results in a failure to return any portion of the amount withdrawn to the Great Lakes Basin.
- Interbasin diversion is a transfer of water out of the Great Lakes Basin through any mechanism such as a pipe or canal and including a change in ground water flow caused by pumping.
- Great Lakes Basin is shown in a map along with a list of basin communities in Appendix A of the Great Lakes Water Withdrawal Registration Program Handbook.


Evolution average number of beds per hospital
July 27, 2012
(This article was first published on Fishy Operations, and kindly contributed to R-bloggers)
The OECD collects (among a lot of other statistics) information on the number of hospitals and hospital beds per country. These two parameters combined and its evolution over the years could give an indication on whether or not the country's hospital landscape is evolving towards large medical centers, small scale hospital settings or whether there is no trend to detect.
In the graph below you can see the evolution of the average number of beds per hospital for a number of countries. The first datapoint for every country serves as a reference point and equals 100 percent. A point above this reference point denotes an increase in the average numbers of beds per hospital. In contrast, a point below the reference point means a decrease in the average number of bed per hospital. Of course, a decrease/increase could mean an country-wide decrease/increase in the number of beds. However, assuming that in these 'developed' countries there would be no drastic sudden changes in total number of hospital beds, a continuous increase might indicate that the country's hospital landscape is evolving towards large scale medical centers (through for example mergers & acquisitions).
Even though no solid conclusion can be drawn from the two parameters at hand, countries like Greece, Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, New Zealand and Turkey do seem to be evolving towards a healthcare landscape with large scale medical centers. Conversely, Estonia, Italy, Korea, Poland, The Slovak Republic and Slovenia seem to evolve towards smaller scale hospitals.
The R script to generate the graph:
hospitals<-subset(dataset, Variable=='Hospitals')
hospitalbeds<-subset(dataset, Variable=='Total hospital beds')
dataset_new<-merge(hospitals, hospitalbeds, by=c('Country', 'Year'))
ratioperc<-function(ratio, country){
Year==min(dataset_new[dataset_new$Country==country,]$Year) &
if(length(value)==0) return(NA)
else return(value)
dataset_transform<-ddply(dataset_new,.(Country, Year), transform,
refvalue=ratioperc(ratio, Country))
ggplot(dataset_transform, aes(x=Year, y=refvalue, group=Country,
colour=refvalue)) + geom_line() + geom_point() +
facet_wrap(~Country, ncol=4) + opts(axis.text.x=theme_text(angle=-90,
hjust=0), legend.position='none') + scale_colour_gradient(low='blue',
high='orange') + ylab('')

Is it made of earth or brick? Â This is a common distinction in the world of wood-fired ovens and comes with a whole slew of assumptions. Â "Earth ovens are cheaper, easier to build but less durable." Â "Brick ovens are expensive, harder to build but more professional and will last longer." Â The oven build documented below is an exploration of the combination of these techniques to leverage the advantages of each. Â We use earth where its sculptural quality allows us to perfectly mold it to the shape that we desire. Â We use brick where it will give a good durable surface for cooking and in the entrance way to withstand the abuse of heated and passionate cooking.

Species at Risk
What is the status of the Stinkpot turtle?
The stinkpot turtle was listed as "threatened" federally by the COSEWIC in May 2002. Is listed on Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act, which provides protection under federal law.
The stinkpot turtle is also listed as "threatened" provincially in Ontario by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources' Committee on the Status of Species at Risk in Ontario (COSSARO).
The stinkpot turtle is the smallest turtle in Canada, making it the most vulnerable to predation (from raptors etc.), even when mature.
© Parks Canada / SLINP Image Library
Why is the Stinkpot turtle in danger?
The major factor leading to the decline of Stinkpot turtles in Canada is shoreline development and the draining of wetlands.
Shoreline vegetation and adjacent aquatic plants provide the suitable that stinkpot turtles require to live. As aquatic vegetation is removed, so is the food source for stinkpot turtles. Rotten logs and abandoned muskrat houses along shorelines are required by stinkpot turtles, as they provide necessary nesting habitat. When the shoreline is altered there is less habitat to sustain stinkpot populations.
Wetland drainage has also been a major factor contributing to stinkpot turtle habitat decline. The turtles do not have the capability of traveling overland to another area when a wetland is drained. Being highly aquatic, they will dehydrate quickly and face mortality when there is insufficient water available.
Stinkpot turtles have been extirpated from particular areas due to habitat destruction, and it is estimated that there has been a 30%-50% decline in the overall population. Because of their secretive nature, stinkpot turtles can disappear from an area without anyone ever noticing.

The performance implications of perceptual differences of dependence in marketing channels: The mediating role of trust
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to address two essential questions: do perceptual differences regarding dependence matter in determining channel performance, and if so, how? Design/methodology/approach – The paper conducted an empirical study of 347 cellular telephone supplier-retailer dyads in China. A questionnaire survey was employed. Findings – The results reveal that a retailer's perceptual difference of dependence exerts a significant effect on its evaluation of supplier performance only. Retailer trust partially mediates the effect of the perceptual differences on supplier performance and retailer performance. Therefore, the particular side of a dyadic relationship that researchers choose to study matters in an unbalanced dependence relationship. Practical implications – Managers, depending on their side, should pay close attention to perceptual differences and their consequences and deliberately employ different strategies to ensure effective channel management. Originality/value – Do differences in parties' perceptions of dependence influence channel performance? If they do, how do these perceived differences exert direct and indirect impacts? By answering these questions, the authors contribute not only to an understanding of the unique nature of dyadic channel relationships but also to methodological notions about whether to study one side in a dyad.

Accessing licenses and extensions in Python
Whenever a tool is executed in a script, an ArcGIS license is required. Tools from ArcGIS extensions, such as the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension, require an additional license for that extension. If the necessary licenses are not available, a tool fails and returns error messages. For example, if you install with a Desktop Basic license, and you attempt to execute a tool that requires a Desktop Standard or Desktop Advanced license, the tool fails.
Every tool checks to ensure it has the appropriate license. If it doesn't have what's required, it fails. To guard against the situation of executing partially through and failing, you can perform a check at the top of your script and fail immediately. The CheckExtension function can be used to evaluate if you are licensed for a particular extension, and the CheckProduct function can be used to evaluate if you are licensed for a particular product level.
The ArcGIS Pro application is part of ArcGIS Desktop, which has three levels—Desktop Basic, Desktop Standard, and Desktop Advanced—with each level providing additional functionality. Only ArcGIS Pro uses licensing through the organization. Other ArcGIS Desktop applications—ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcGlobe, and ArcScene—use the local ArcGIS Administrator application to set levels and extensions.
For more information on licensing in ArcGIS Pro, see Licensing ArcGIS Pro.
License:
When ArcGIS Pro uses licensing through the organization, the available product level and extensions are set by your account and available automatically from arcpy. With a Concurrent Use license in ArcGIS Pro and with other ArcGIS Desktop applications, specific functions (including CheckOutExtension and CheckInExtension) are required to access certain tools; with other types of licenses in ArcGIS Pro, these functions have no effect.
For more information, see CheckInExtension and CheckOutExtension functions.

A team of volunteers from WRc participated in the Earth Summit on 28th-31st May 2012.
The Earth Summit is an annual event organised by the National Trust. Its aim is for year 5 pupils across Swindon to learn about sustainable living. Approximately 500 children from 11 schools attend workshops on a variety of issues, from renewable energy to recycling, and from transport to fair trade.
WRc presented the workshop called Water Matters in conjunction with Thames Water. It included activities to encourage the pupils to think about where water comes from and the processes that are required to treat water. These discussions prompted ideas about what actions the children and their families could take to reduce their water consumption. They were also given the opportunity to make water filters to test different filtration materials and observe which ones were most effective.
The event took place at the National Trust Estate in Coleshill, which has acres of land in which the children could learn as well as enjoy the great outdoors and the event was a resounding success!

Chamber in Civil Engineering: A Key Component for Infrastructure
What is a chamber in civil engineering? How does it contribute to the construction and maintenance of our urban infrastructure? In this article, we will explore the role of chambers in civil engineering and delve into their various types and applications. From underground utilities to telecommunications, chambers play a vital role in the functionality and longevity of our urban environments.
Understanding Chambers in Civil Engineering
Chambers, also known as manholes, are underground structures that provide access to various utility systems running beneath our roads, sidewalks, and buildings. They serve as entry points for maintenance and inspection, allowing engineers and workers to access and manage these vital services.
Just like a human body has a complex network of arteries and veins, our urban areas have an intricate network of pipelines and cables supplying water, electricity, gas, sewage, and telecommunications. Chambers act as connectors and junction points within this network, facilitating the distribution, collection, and management of these utilities.
Types of Chambers
1. Utility Chambers
Utility chambers are the most common type of chambers found in civil engineering projects. They are designed to house utility systems such as water mains, stormwater pipes, electrical cables, and natural gas pipelines. Utility chambers provide easy access to these systems for maintenance, repairs, and inspection.
These chambers are typically made of concrete or precast materials, ensuring their durability and stability. They feature a watertight design to protect the utilities from external elements and prevent any leakage or contamination.
2. Telecommunication Chambers
With the rapid advancement of telecommunication networks, the demand for telecommunication chambers has also increased. These chambers serve as central points for fiber optic cables, telephone wires, internet cables, and other communication infrastructure.
Telecommunication chambers are designed with specific layouts and dimensions to accommodate the necessary equipment and ensure efficient connectivity. They are often constructed with materials that provide protection against environmental factors, such as moisture and temperature changes, to maintain reliable communication services.
3. Traffic Signal Chambers
To control the flow of traffic and ensure road safety, traffic signal chambers are installed at strategic locations throughout urban areas. These chambers house the electrical equipment and control systems responsible for traffic signals, pedestrian crossings, and other traffic management devices.
Traffic signal chambers are built to withstand environmental conditions and potential damage from accidents or vandalism. They are often reinforced with materials such as concrete or steel to protect the electrical components and wiring.
4. Inspection Chambers
Inspection chambers, also known as access chambers, are specifically designed for easy access to underground utility systems. They are used by engineers and maintenance personnel to inspect, clean, and repair the utility infrastructure.
These chambers are usually smaller in size compared to utility chambers, but their designs can vary depending on the specific purpose and utility system they provide access to. They are typically constructed with durable materials to withstand frequent use and exposure to various environmental conditions.
Importance of Chambers in Civil Engineering
1. Maintenance and Repairs
Chambers play a vital role in the maintenance and repair of utility systems. They provide access points for engineers and workers to inspect and fix any issues that arise. Without chambers, accessing these underground systems would be challenging and time-consuming, leading to delays in repairs and increased inconvenience for the community.
2. Expansion and Upgrades
As urban areas grow and technology advances, the need for expanding and upgrading utility systems becomes inevitable. Chambers offer a convenient way to integrate new pipelines, cables, and equipment into existing infrastructure without disrupting the entire network. They provide a centralized point for connecting new additions to the system, streamlining the expansion process.
3. Safety and Accessibility
Chambers ensure the safety and accessibility of utility systems. By providing easy access to these systems, chambers allow immediate response to emergencies such as leaks, blockages, or equipment failures. They also enable regular inspections and maintenance, minimizing the risk of potential accidents and ensuring the proper functioning of essential services.
4. Longevity and Efficiency
By providing a secure and protected environment for utility systems, chambers contribute to their longevity and efficiency. They protect the infrastructure from external factors such as weather conditions, soil movement, and unauthorized access. This protection helps extend the lifespan of utility systems, reducing the need for frequent repairs and replacements.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What materials are commonly used for constructing chambers?
Various materials can be used for constructing chambers. The most common ones are concrete, precast materials, and sometimes steel or plastic, depending on the specific requirements and utility systems involved.
How deep are chambers usually installed?
Chambers are typically installed at a depth that allows easy access to the utility systems they serve. The depth can vary based on factors such as the utility type, road conditions, and local regulations. They are often designed to align with the underground pipelines or cables they connect to.
Can chambers be customized for specific projects?
Yes, chambers can be customized to meet the specific requirements of different projects. They can be designed with different dimensions, layouts, and features based on the utility systems and the available space within the project site.
What are the safety measures taken during chamber construction?
When constructing chambers, safety measures are essential to ensure the well-being of workers and the surrounding environment. These measures may include proper excavation techniques, support systems to prevent cave-ins, ventilation for confined spaces, and compliance with occupational health and safety regulations.
How frequently should chambers be inspected?
Chambers should be inspected regularly to identify any issues or potential problems. The frequency of inspections depends on several factors, including the type of utility, the age of the infrastructure, and the local regulations. Regular inspections help identify and address maintenance needs promptly, preventing costly damages and service disruptions.
In conclusion, chambers are crucial components of civil engineering projects, providing access points to underground utility systems. They play a key role in the maintenance, expansion, safety, and longevity of infrastructure. From utility chambers to telecommunication and traffic signal chambers, each type serves a specific purpose in ensuring the efficient functioning of our urban environments. Understanding the significance of chambers allows us to appreciate the intricate network of utilities that support our daily lives.

Description:
The Rapid River is a tributary to the Torch River. The Rapid is 18 miles long and originates about six miles northeast of Kalkaska in a forested area of the Mancelona Plain. For most of its length, it flows through a deep, picturesque valley which was probably carved by a larger glacial meltwater stream. The stream corridor is mostly forested, undeveloped cedar swamp.

The stream system has only five tributaries, which is a low number for a stream of its length. This indicates that tremendous quantities of cold, high-quality ground water discharge directly into the main stream channel. The total length of the five tributaries is about 12 miles, bringing the total channel length for the system to about 30 miles. Only one tributary, the Little Rapid River, is named. The Rapid is a second-order stream.

The stream system is crossed by roads nine times: Priest Rd.(nearest its headwaters), followed by Leetsville Rd., U.S. 131, Wood Rd. (twice), Underhill Rd., Kellogg Rd., Rapid City Rd. (C-597) and Aarwood Rd. (nearest its mouth).

The greatest elevation of the river's headwaters is 1,083 feet. The river drops almost 500 feet in elevation, for an average stream gradient of about 27 feet per mile. In a nine mile stretch between U.S. 131 and Kellogg Road, the river's gradient averages 36 feet per mile. As a result of the steep gradient, most parts of the stream have a gravel or rocky bottom. The last three miles have a low gradient with sand and organic sediments on the bottom. The lower 1.25 miles of the Rapid River is slightly impounded by the Elk Rapids Dam.

The Rapid River is located in Clearwater, Rapid River, and Cold Springs Townships in Kalkaska County. There is one dam on the river, creating a 30 acre impoundment called Rugg Pond. In the past this pond has been stocked with brook trout.

There is quite a bit of State land along the upper third of the river (upstream from Woods Road). In 1998, The State acquired a one mile stretch of stream (known as the Seven Bridges Property) with the assistance of the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy. Clearwater Township's Freedom Park is located on the river just north of Rapid City.

Studies have shown that the Rapid River has high dissolved oxygen levels, due to the low temperature, turbulent flow, and low numbers of aquatic plants (which can reduce oxygen at night through respiration). Phosphorus levels are low, probably because of the forested condition of the watershed, coupled with the fact that ground water recharge rather than surface runoff supplies most of the river's water. The channel above Rapid City was never cleared for log drives and therefore contains an abundant supply of cover compared to most streams.

Electroshocking surveys by the MDNR have revealed a high population of wild brook trout in the upper reaches, with brook, brown and rainbow trout all being found in the middle and lower reaches. The lower reach also contains white sucker and cheek chub. Anadromous rainbow trout (a.k.a. steelhead) ascend the Rapid from Torch and Elk Lakes in spring to spawn. The Rapid River is designated as a trout stream by the MDNR. It is considered a premier trout stream, although it is not listed as a blue ribbon stream.

What is the difference? With VHDs, it is a classification of virtual drive. The other two types have already been covered and now it is time to briefly cover what makes the difference VHD disk interesting.
Why does it exist? Perhaps the most obvious answer is that it could save space. The difference disk is actually linked to a parent disk. The parent disk represents a read-only copy of a VM. Technically it does not need to be a full copy but let's assume that it is to make it easy. Once the parent and child (difference disk) are bound, the parent VHD is no longer allowed to change. The child VHD has pointers to the parent VHD by using various name markers (relative/absolute, UNICODE/UTF-8). The link is not guaranteed and obviously it is possible for an admin/user to break the connection. It would be an easy mistake to make. The difference file could be moved to another system which has no access to the parent file.
What lives in the child disk? Only the written changes are kept in the virtual disk. Also, the changes are marked on a sector bitmap which shows which sectors are coming from the child and which ones are coming from the parent. From the operating system point of view, this is transparent. However, the VM player is responsible for splitting up the requests between the two virtual disks (parent and child). This also means that the two disks need to be opened when the VM is running.
The sector bitmap is actually at the front of the blocks in the VHD. In a dynamic disk, the sector bitmap shows which sectors have been written. For a difference disk, it shows the ownership of the sectors between child and parent.
I have been playing with difference disks over the last couple of weeks and now understand the nature of how this fits together. One key point is that this is happening at the sector level which would make it very hard to figure out which files had changed.
An annoying aspect of the sector bitmap is that it does not align with clusters. Because the first volume sector happens at 0x3F, the first eight sector cluster happens from 0x3F to 0×46. So, cluster zero maps to bits in three different bytes of the sector bitmap. Life would have been a bit easier if the clusters aligned with the sector bitmap bytes. Nevermind, this is really only annoying for people trying to correspond volume clusters to low-level sectors.
It is worth noting that the difference VHD disk has no intelligence about what is being written. In other words, it is highly likely that data written which happens to be the same as before will still trigger usage in the difference disk. Also of interest is that all VHD disks have no sense of what has been freed. This means that even if written data is freed by the file system, it will still be retained in the VHD. And finally, all data is treated equally so this means that even if the data is not worth keeping (temporary content) the VHD will do its best to hold onto it blindly. It appears that the pagefile fails into this category.
The greatest value of the difference disk would come from a template model. An admin could create a dynamic VHD disk for the work environment and then use the difference disk to create user copies. The benefit would be space savings and potentially faster transfer for remote use (assuming the template is already there). The missing piece is being able to update the template and have it take affect on the user difference disks. By the current definitions/standards, this will not work. The simple reason why is that it would be nearly impossible to merge the two together based on blocks changing on both the child and the parent. Since the VHD format has no knowledge of files and directories, it has no way of knowing what to merge.
The difference disk seems similar to linked clone technology. However, linked clone uses versioning which allows for the parent to move forward. Unfortunately, even linked clones have no knowledge of how to merge with an updated parent.

The Meaning and Measure of Vertical Resolution in Optical Surface Topography Measurement
AbstractVertical resolution is the most widely quoted and most frequently misunderstood performance specification for equipment that measures surface topography. Here I propose to use internationally standardized terms and definitions for measurement noise and surface topography repeatability as more meaningful quantifiers for measurement performance. A specific example is an interference microscope operating with a 100 Hz, 1 k × 1 k pixel camera, and a sinusoidal phase modulation to convert intensity data to a height map. The measurement noise is found experimentally to be 0.072 nm for a 1 s data acquisition using a surface topography repeatability test, which determines the random height-equivalent noise level for an individual pixel in the areal surface topography map. Under ideal conditions, the measured noise is equivalent to the instrument noise that may be published in a performance specification in place of the more common, but poorly defined, vertical resolution specification.

How to trigger an Azure Synapse pipeline run from C#
As part of a reporting project we've been working on recently, we needed to be able to kick off an Azure Synapse pipeline run from C# code running in an Azure Functions app. Documentation is a bit sparse in this area, so here's how to do it.
How do I do it?
 1. Add a reference to Azure.Analytics.Synapse.Artifacts. You can find the API documentation here. This provides the C# API for talking to Synapse. At the time of writing, I used the 1.0.0-preview.4 version.
 2. In your code, create a new instance of the Azure.Analytics.Synapse.Artifacts.PipelineClient class. This requires the dev endpoint for your Synapse instance, as well as your preferred means of authentication. More on this below.
 3. Assuming your pipeline needs some parameters supplying, create a Dictionary containing them.
 4. Execute PipelineClient.CreatePipelineRunAsync() method to kick off the pipeline run.
Show me the code!
 var pipelineClient = new PipelineClient(
 new Uri(""),
 new DefaultAzureCredential());
 var parameters = new Dictionary
 { "parameter1", "value1" },
 { "parameter2", "value2" },
 Response run = await pipelineClient.CreatePipelineRunAsync(
 "",
 parameters: parameters).ConfigureAwait(false);
 // The response contains the Id of the new pipeline run.
The dev endpoint you need when creating the PipelineClient can be found in the portal, and has the form
https://
Screenshot of the Azure Portal with the necessary endpoint information highlighted
How does my code authenticate to the Synapse API?
Authentication is via the Azure.Identity library, so you have the standard options. DefaultAzureCredential is probably the one you'll need - it works through a list of authentication mechanisms in order of likelihood (you can see the list here), starting with credentials stored in environment variables and ending with an interactive browser login prompt.
If like me your code is running in an Azure Functions app with a Managed Identity (and assuming you don't override it using environment variables), this means that the Managed Identity of the Functions app will be used to authenticate to the Synapse endpoint. And when running locally, it should pick up your Visual Studio or Azure CLI credentials and use those.
Either way, in order to run the pipeline, that identity will need to have been granted the Synapse Credential User role in your Synapse instance. This can be done using the "Access Control" panel in the Management area of Synapse Studio (note the warning when you grant access - it can take a few minutes for the update to take effect).

Unlike many existing methods that only work with images in the JPEG format, the proposed method is image format independent, implying that it works with both noncompressed images and images in all compression formats. To improve the authentication accuracy, some strategies, such as overlapping image blocks only on concurrent directions, using a two-scale local binary pattern operator, and choosing the mean deviation instead of the standard deviation, are applied. A back-propagation neural network (BPNN) is used instead of support vector machines (SVMs) for classification to make online learning easier and achieve higher accuracy. In our experiments, we used the CASIA Database (CASIA TIDE v1.0) of compressed images and the Columbia University Digital Video Multimedia (DVMM) dataset of uncompressed images to evaluate our image authentication method. This benchmark dataset includes two types of image tampering, namely image splicing and copy–move forgery. Experiments were performed using both the SVM and BPNN classifiers with various parameters. We determined that the BPNN achieved a higher accuracy of up to 97.26 %.

Abstract Share this page
Abstract Vermiculite, pine shavings and unbleached eucalyptus pulp contact bedding were compared for dust content, dust production (as a result of animal activity), moisture absorption properties and ammonia production. The percentage of dust particles <300 microm found in pine shavings and vermiculite was 18 and 8 times greater respectively than was found in eucalyptus pulp. The lowest ammonia levels (<1-1 ppm), measured on day 7, were obtained using eucalyptus pulp. Although the ammonia levels obtained for vermiculite compared very well with those of pulp, high levels of dust, up to 5 times more than pulp, were experienced with vermiculite. Pine shavings were associated with the highest ammonia concentration (1-3 ppm), but produced approximately 50\% less dust than vermiculite. The water absorption properties obtained for pulp were between 35\% and 76\% higher than those obtained for vermiculite and pine shavings respectively.

Storage of aggregates in silos
The aggregates are temporarily stored in multiple-chamber silos. Large amounts of dust are generated when the chambers are being filled. The geometry of the material heaps can vary depending on the consistency of the aggregates and the properties of the bulk materials can also vary from filling to filling.
Level measurement with the APM 3DLevelScannerT
The 3DLevelScanner is the ideal solution for continuous measurement of aggregates inside silos. By virtue of the mapping measuring principle, the 3DLevelScanner can generate 3D maps of the contents. 3-dimensional mapping delivers true and absolute surface level values, volume and mass with unprecedented accuracy. Since the instrument comes already factory-adjusted, set-up involves only electrical connection. Neither product quality, nor dust generation, nor the shape of the material heap influence the measurements.}

To examine these relationships, the project leaders conducted research at two elementary schools in southern California: Lugonia Elementary School in Redlands, and Inland Leaders Charter School in Yucaipa.
Pilot testing of spatial activities and assessments took place at Lugonia Elementary School during the spring of 2016. The purpose of that research was to fine tune the activities and assessments that would be used in the larger research study. A comparison-group study was conducted at Inland Leaders Charter School during the 2016-17 school year. The goal of this study was to gather data that could be used to explore relationships among spatial thinking skills, computational thinking abilities, and mathematical performance.
Two treatment classrooms in each K-5 grade at Inland Leaders Charter School implemented spatial thinking activities for approximately 30 minutes each day during the 2016-2017 school year.
Two control classrooms in each grade did not do the designated activities. The spatial activities included creating designs with manipulatives such as design blocks and tangrams, mapping classrooms and schoolyards, using a map to find treasures, and providing directions with coordinate systems. At the beginning and end of the school year, all students completed spatial and mathematics assessments. A spatial-computational thinking assessment was also piloted with K-2 students.

What Aristotle called "the arrangement of the incidents," the plot of a work depends upon how its episodes are presented. A work of IF may have only one possible plot, as in Photopia. It may have several plots, as in Losing Your Grip. Most cave-crawl adventures have multiple plots because they have puzzles that can be solved in a different order each time. Although a work like the usual play or novel can be said to have a plot, a work of IF has one or more potential plots that are only realized during an interaction.

The interfacial reaction between calcium-bentonite zinc ion was studied by a radioisotopic tracer method. Both the quantity of zinc ions incorporated into the solid and the quantity of calcium ions leaving the solid were determined. A comparison of the two quantities and the Langmuir representation obtained suggest that other processes can occur besides ion exchange. These processes were separated; ion exchange and adsorption isotherms were constructed, and the isotherm parameters determined. The real ion exchange process was evaluated on the basis of the law of mass action as well. The equilibrium constant of the process and the surface activity coefficients of calcium and zinc ions were determined. The variation of the surface activity coefficient as a function of surface concentration is explained by supposing exchange sites of different binding energy.

No, it costs double to move through a threatened square
This was clarified on the 3.5 FAQ, which the community has mixed opinions about (as seen on this other question):
For example, imagine Ember begins her turn 10 feet from an orc and wants to use Tumble to move through its space and end up 15 feet away on the opposite side.
Her first square of movement wouldn't provoke attacks of opportunity (since she's not leaving a threatened square), so she doesn't use Tumble or move at half speed.
Her second and third squares of movement take her through the orc's space, so these effectively cost twice normal (that is, they each cost 1 extra square of movement), and this movement requires a DC 25 Tumble check. (If you're using this system, it's much easier to think of tumbling as costing extra squares of movement rather than actually changing your speed.) Ember has now paid a total of 5 squares of movement (out of the 8 allotted to her for her speed of 40 feet).
Assuming that check succeeds, Ember now moves from a threatened square (adjacent to the orc), which requires a DC 15 Tumble check and costs twice normal (or 1 extra square of movement). She's now paid a total of 7 squares of movement.
Finally, Ember moves one last square, ending up 15 feet from the orc on the opposite side from where she began. She's not leaving a threatened square, so she doesn't use Tumble or pay any extra movement. Ember has paid for 8 squares (40 feet) of movement, and has covered a linear distance of 5 squares (25 feet).

As a child my Grandma Jones preserved peppers (hot peppers, red peppers, chipotle peppers, green peppers) through a concoction she called "Mississippi Mud." Ha! We will get to what "Mississippi Mud" is in a bit, but let's first talk about pepper preserves.
Pepper Preserves – 5 Tips for Preserving Peppers
Before we get started keep in mind that there are a lot of different pepper types you need to consider when preserving peppers. If your goal is to preserve hot peppers that's great, but there will be special considerations. On the other hand – if you simply want to preserve everyday peppers – like popular green or red peppers – you'll have additional options. (And scroll to the bottom or simply cclick here to purchase some preserves "Pepper Jam" by Grandma Jones.
(1) – Freeze Your Peppers
It's not rocket science (or maybe it is) that freezing just about anything is a great way to preserve it. That's right – freeze your peppers and you'll thank me later. When preserving peppers using a freezer method, either vacuum seal them or put the peppers in high quality "zipper" bags designed for the freezer. I recommend that you label and date each bag as you add it to the freezer.
(2) – Pickle Your Peppers
Pickling is a great way to preserve peppers and is an alternative to freezing. According to WikiPedia pickling is the process of preserving or expanding the lifespan of food by either anaerobic fermentation in brine or immersion in vinegar. The resulting food is called a pickle, or, to prevent ambiguity, prefaced with pickled.
(3) – Dry Your Peppers
Drying is not your best option for long term pepper preserves, but is a great solution for certain kinds of peppers. Popular peppers for drying include cayenne and thai, while be forewarned that jalapenos and other green chilis are not to be dried.
(4) – Turn Your Peppers Into Preserves (aka – Pepper Jam!)
So you want to know what "Mississippi Mud" is? Well – as a kid my Grandma Jones introduced my family to her cherished family recipe for pepper jelly. She didn't call it pepper jelly and quite honestly never even referenced it as such – she, instead called it Mississippi Mud which is what we called it until changing the name to Pepper Jam in 1999.
Pepper Jam is a pepper preserve jam. It's a recipe that includes sugar, vinegar, fresh green peppers, red pepper flakes, and pectin. We offer 9 different flavors (see Pepper Jam flavors here). And because you can make a lot of different flavors you can preserve peppers, such as chipotle, habanero, jalapeño, and more.
As you know – "jamming" is a great way to also preserve fruit! That's why Grandma Jones includes cranberries (great for Thanksgiving), mango, pomegranate, and more in her Pepper Jam's.

Empirical evidence on convergence across the PIIGS member states of the Euro–zone
This paper investigates unconditional convergence of major economic variables across the Euro–zone member states of Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain over the last 30 years. The criteria used for investigating convergence are β–convergence, σ–convergence, and time–series–convergence. The findings show that the unemployment rate, the budget deficit, and the general government gross debt do not converge, but the GDP growth rate, the labour productivity growth rate, the prices inflation rate, and the wages inflation rate converge across the five Euro–zone member states. The findings show that the speed of convergence varies depending on the period of under review (the pre–Maastricht Treaty decade, the post–Maastricht Treaty decade, and the decade after the initiation of the Euro–zone).

Akeyless Gateway should always be used with TLS to ensure all traffic is encrypted at transit.
If you are working with Load Balancers or reverse proxies in front of your Gateway, TLS should be used for all network connections.
The use of HTTP protocol is considered insecure and discouraged; thus, remote Gateway configuration is not supported over HTTP. If you wish to configure your gateway remotely make sure you do it over HTTPS.
To configure TLS, on your Gateway Configuration Manager under the General tab:
Select the cloud icon next to TLS Certificate
Upload a TLS Certificate and provide a TLS Private Key in a PEM format and Save.
Updating a TLS certificate can be accessed through the CLI by using the following command:

Hubspot Connector for C#
In this article you will learn how to integrate Hubspot data in C# (live / bi-directional connection to Hubspot). Hubpost Connector can be used to integrate Hubspot and your data source, e.g. Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Excel, Power BI, etc. Get, write, delete Hubspot data in a few clicks!.
Using Hubspot Connector you will be able to connect, read, and write data from within C#. Follow the steps below to see how we would accomplish that.
Download Documentation
Create ODBC Data Source (DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver
Step-by-step instructions
To get data from Hubspot using C# we first need to create a DSN (Data Source) which will access data from Hubspot. We will later be able to read data using C#. Perform these steps:
 1. Install ZappySys ODBC PowerPack.
 2. Open ODBC Data Sources (x64):
 Open ODBC Data Source
 3. Create a User Data Source (User DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver
 ZappySys API Driver
 Create new User DSN for ZappySys API Driver
 You should create a System DSN (instead of a User DSN) if the client application is launched under a Windows System Account, e.g. as a Windows Service. If the client application is 32-bit (x86) running with a System DSN, use ODBC Data Sources (32-bit) instead of the 64-bit version.
 4. When the Configuration window appears give your data source a name if you haven't done that already, then select "Hubspot" from the list of Popular Connectors. If "Hubspot" is not present in the list, then click "Search Online" and download it. Then set the path to the location where you downloaded it. Finally, click Continue >> to proceed with configuring the DSN:
 HubspotDSN
 Hubspot
 ODBC DSN Template Selection
 5. Now it's time to configure the Connection Manager. Select Authentication Type, e.g. Token Authentication. Then select API Base URL (in most cases, the default one is the right one). More info is available in the Authentication section.
 Authenticate using static AccessToken (Private App) to access specific account. Follow 3 simple steps. 1) Create an App, 2) select permissions and 3) get Token and use on this UI. For more information on how to obtain AccessToken visit _URL_ [API Help..]
 Steps to get Hubspot Credentials
 Just follow this link on how to get an PrivateApp Access Token. Once you obtain it, paste it into AccessToken parameter: _URL_

 Steps to get Hubspot Credentials
 Just follow this link on how to create an API app: _URL_ On the App Scopes section make sure to select following scopes in order to access all features of this driver. You can choose more or less but keep in mind to select same or less number of scopes on Driver UI (Scopes Property) else it will not authorize the request. If you need File Upload feature then choose files scope.
 Your selected scopes when registering your app must match the scopes you enter here on the connector screen. You cannot request less or more scopes for now (it may change in future). If they don't match, the connector will not be able to work with your HubSpot account!

 6. Once the data source has been configured, you can preview data. Select the Preview tab and use settings similar to the following to preview data:
 ODBC ZappySys Data Source Preview
 7. Click OK to finish creating the data source.
Video instructions
Read data in C# from the DSN
 1. Create a new Console project and use this code to read the data:
 "HubspotDSN";
 Make ZappySys Driver call in c#
 2. Press F5 to run the code and read the data:
 ZappySys Driver Output in c#
 3. Here is the code in text format:
 using System;
 using System.Data.Odbc;

 namespace ConsoleApp {
 class Program {
 static void Main() {
 var dsn = "HubspotDSN";
 using (var conn = new OdbcConnection(String.Format("DSN={0}", dsn)))
 {
 conn.Open();
 var cmd = new OdbcCommand("SELECT * FROM Products", conn);

 //Increase the timeout duration from the default 30 seconds, which may be insufficient in certain scenarios
 cmd.CommandTimeout=600; // 600-Seconds

 var rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
 while (rdr.Read())
 {
 for (int i = 0; i < rdr.FieldCount; i++)
 {
 Console.Write("{0}\t", rdr[i]);
 }
 Console.WriteLine();
 }
 }
 Console.ReadKey();
 }
 }
 }

 4. If you want to avoid being dependent on a DSN and creating multiple DSNs for each platform (x86, x64), then you can use a fully qualified connection string. Simply go to your DSN and copy the Connection String . Then in your C# code, pass the connection string as an argument when calling the OdbcConnection object's constructor, for example:

 var connectionString = "DRIVER={ZappySys API Driver};ServiceUrl=_URL_

 using
