Using IronWord License Keys
Get Your License Key
IronWord license keys allow you to deploy your project live.
Licenses start at just $749 and include one free year of support and updates.
You can also try IronWord free for 30 days with a trial license key.
Step 1: Download the Latest Version of IronWord
Install with NuGet
Install-Package IronWord
Step 2: Apply Your License Key
Set your license using code
Add this code to the startup of your application, before IronWord is used.
IronWord.License.LicenseKey = "IRONWORD.MYLICENSE.KEY.1EF01";
IronWord.License.LicenseKey = "IRONWORD.MYLICENSE.KEY.1EF01"
Set your license using Web.Config or App.Config
To apply a key globally to your application using Web.Config or App.Config, add the following key to your config file in appSettings.
<add key="IronWord.LicenseKey" value="IRONWORD.MYLICENSE.KEY.1EF01"/>
Setting license key in web.config issue
There is a known licensing issue: in ASP.NET projects targeted .NET framework version >= 4.6.2. The key stored in a web.config
file will NOT be picked up and used by the product.
To work around this issue it is recommended to read license key using ConfigurationManager from web.config
in the code and apply it to the License.LicenseKey.
With the above XML file, we can use ConfigurationManager to retrieve and pass the license key value to IronWord.License.LicenseKey property.
using System.Configuration;
string licenseKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["IronWord.LicenseKey"];
IronWord.License.LicenseKey = licenseKey;
using System.Configuration;
string licenseKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["IronWord.LicenseKey"];
IronWord.License.LicenseKey = licenseKey;
Imports System.Configuration
Private licenseKey As String = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("IronWord.LicenseKey")
IronWord.License.LicenseKey = licenseKey
Ensure that IronWord.License.IsLicensed
returns true
to verify.
Set your license key using a .NET Core appsettings.json file
To apply a key globally to your application to a .NET Core:
- Add a JSON file to your project called appsettings.json in the root directory of your project
- Add a 'IronWord.LicenseKey' key to your JSON config file. The value should be your license key.
- Ensure that the file properties include Copy to Output Directory: Copy always
File: appsettings.json
Step 3: Validate Your License Key
Verify the Installed License Key
To verify whether the license key has been applied correctly, you can check the IsLicensed property. Use the following code snippet:
// Check if the license key has been applied
bool licensed = IronWord.License.IsLicensed;
' Check if the license key has been applied
Dim licensed As Boolean = IronWord.License.IsLicensed
Validate the License Key
To ensure the validity of your license or trial key, you can use the following code snippet:
// Check if a given license key string is valid
bool valid = IronWord.License.IsValidLicense("IRONWORD.MYLICENSE.KEY.1EF01");
' Check if a given license key string is valid
Dim valid As Boolean = IronWord.License.IsValidLicense("IRONWORD.MYLICENSE.KEY.1EF01")
If the return value is True, it means the key is valid, and you can proceed with using IronWord. However, if the return value is False, it indicates that the key is invalid.

Hunting hydrogen in High Entropy Alloy based metal hydrides with neutron scattering
Researchers from the Department of Chemistry – Ångström laboratory within the division of Inorganic Chemistry at Uppsala University in collaboration with groups at the Institute for Energy Technology (Norway), Sandia national laboratories (US) and the ISIS Neutron and Muon source (UK) have recently been locating the position of hydrogen while leaving High Entropy Alloy based materials.
Why is this of interest?
Hydrogen is seen as one of the most promising solutions to large-scale energy storage when switching electricity production from fossil to renewable energy sources due to its vast abundance and high gravimetric energy density. Storing and handling compressed gaseous hydrogen does, however, come with several challenges such as inherent safety aspects and the high cost of compression. Instead, hydrogen can be stored in the solid state using a metal hydride, which offers improved safety and higher volumetric energy densities. An emerging field within the metal hydride community is High Entropy Alloy (HEA) based metal hydrides. The vast compositional space generated by this type of alloy design should enable tailoring of the hydrogen sorption properties to a targeted application. Developing such design rules however requires detailed knowledge of the position of hydrogen in these alloys during operation.
How is it done?
Hydrogen is practically invisible to X-rays, which is a common probe to study solid-state materials, making such techniques unviable for these needs. Luckily, it is very visible to neutrons if we use its heavier isotope deuterium. Neutrons also interact weakly with most matter, enabling us to put additional measurement devices in the neutron beam. In this case, we would like to measure the mass loss as deuterium is leaving the material with a balance. Knowing the exact amount of deuterium by weight in addition with the structural information from neutron diffraction would enable us to locate deuterium within the material with a much higher accuracy.
The experiment was done on a sample series of High Entropy Alloy metal deuterides with increasing chemical complexity at the Polaris beamline at ISIS neutron and Muon source in Oxfordshire, UK. The results showed that for the least complex system (TiVNb), deuterium leaves the material in a single step, but by adding additional elements (Zr and Hf) this turns into multiple ones. Adding Zr makes the deuterium jump from one position (tetrahedral geometry) to another (octahedral geometry) before leaving the material. Subsequently adding Hf to a five component system increases the complexity during the later stages of hydrogen (deuterium) release.

On Feb. 18, Kingston Reads, an organization that aims to spark community conversation about race and racism prompted by recommended books, held their monthly Zoom session. This month's theme, as a part of Kingston's Black History Month, was inspired by Isabel Wilkerson's award-winning book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents.
Erica Brown was one of the women in charge of running the event.
"[I] specifically chose to use the term social classifications in the title of this evening's discussion to bring more folks in because caste is a word that we don't necessarily use in mass American language and culture," Brown said.
The meeting started with a moment of meditation, followed by the moderators setting rules to guide the conversation. The organization tried something different with this meeting by sending the participants into separate breakout rooms of three people each, in order to prompt more intimate discussions about the book and its content. After seven minutes, the groups met back to discuss their individual conversations.
One important concept from Wilkerson's book that a community member discussed was a metaphor for how the caste system built in America.
"I would think of it as the foundation of a house… If that's not in place your structure is not going to be able to be built from the ground up, is not going to have the strength… They don't have a choice… they must be in place in order to build up the house," said an attendee regarding a question asked in a breakout room.
"And if you take that into sort of this country's terms or economic terms, it's the same thing that there was when the country began, a certain number of people needed to be identified as being the economic base, I would call them those that we exploit to lay down that that foundation, so that the rest of the economy and the structure everyone else's livelihoods could be built on top of that," the attendee said.
In her novel, Wilkerson discusses three major caste systems in the history of humanity: India, Nazi Germany and America. One of the points brought up in the breakout room was the Nazis believing that some of the tactics used in American slavery were too much.
"What was so deep to me was that even the Nazis rejected some of the techniques that were being used in America," one attendee said. "It was unbelievable that some of the techniques were even too much for them."
Another attendee was in awe of how rigid the caste system in America is, saying "the Nazis studied our segregation practices and thought that ours were too strict because we said one drop in your blood, you're black."
After the seven minutes ran out, the large group met back to discuss the individual conversations. The points made in the groups led to a conversation about the modern day, and how certain societal privileges mirror those of the caste systems.
One participant, Dina Suggs, made the point that BIPOC in America still face equality struggles today. "If you were poor and white before, at least you weren't black," she said.
In the final breakout session, one attendee stated "I'm so happy to see a wide variety of people… seeing not only a variety of ages but races, religion, ethnicity, all that stuff, it's heartwarming."
The Kingston Reads organization handled these topics with grace, while also encouraging discussion and respectful disagreements in some situations.
Kingston Reads offers these types of programs the third Thursday of every month. Visit kingstonreads.org for more information.

The coconut crab or Birgus latro is the largest crab ever. It can weigh 9 pounds and its size can be 3 feet. The coconut crab is a shelled animal that lives in a number of pacific islands. The habit of this animal is to climb coconuts and drop the fruit as food to be eaten later.
Actually Birgus latro is a type of large hermit crab. The colors are diverse and very beautiful, sometimes there are shiny blue ones so they are very charming when eaten. Usually these crabs climb the coconut and pick the fruit, they eat the coconut and with their strong pincers they can peel the coconut.
This is considered the planning behavior of the intelligent animal. A German biologist, Holger Rumpf who is considered the first to document the many behaviors of the coconut crab. He mentioned that the behavior of climbing coconuts is the behavior of avoiding its prey. Then when he was on a coconut tree, he said that the coconut crab dropped a coconut by accident.
So, he said that it was just a form of inadvertence on the part of this large animal while avoiding its many prey.
Our analysis: Why did he climb the coconut tree, maybe because the habitat of this large crab is in the Pacific area where coconut trees are dominant.
If he was somewhere else, he could have climbed another tree to avoid his prey. If so, then he is not a coconut eater. It lives by preying on other animals such as birds or other animals.
It has long been believed that coconut crabs are opportunistic feeders, but most of them are vegetarians. His name is also known as "robber crab" because they take food from people's homes. Even these crabs were also found knocking down trash cans and looking for food there. Because of this habit, the coconut crab has also earned the name "garbage" or trash can crab.
In their environment, coconut crabs or trash crabs eat fruits such as cherries and nuts. However, the term opportunist has been given incorrectly to this animal.
Apart from eating fruits and vegetables, animals are also known to eat other animals such as mice, other crabs, eating baby turtles, and even eating puppies and kittens.
Others have found that the coconut crab or Birgus latro is hunting. He hunts seabirds that are sleeping, with this fact the Birgus latro crab is said to be a hunting animal.
Do you know how strong his grip is? It is said that the grip of the coconut crab's hand is very strong, even equivalent to a lion's bite. Scary isn't it!
How do coconut crabs reproduce? The male crab at first looks for a mate and then a fight ensues. If the male crab manages to overturn the female, then he climbs on her and gives her a spermatophore.
The female places the fertilized egg on the underside of her body and when the time is right she releases it in the sea. This baby crab has gills and can breathe under the ocean.
His ability decreases as he grows until he lives on land. It is said that when they are on land, they must keep their respiratory organs slightly moist to be able to breathe properly. If the respiratory organs (lungs) dry up, then they will weaken and die.
Likewise they will die if thrown into the sea, drown and die. This means that these animals cannot live in the sea.

Habitat and Location
The coconut crab or Birgus latro is an animal that lives on the Pacific coast. They live on the islands of East Africa, stretching from the Indian Ocean to Hawaii.
Interestingly, they live along land that is overgrown with coconuts. This seems to indicate co-evolution. This is also the reason why he always climbs coconut trees when avoiding his prey and for this reason this hard-shelled animal is called a "coconut crab", not because it eats coconuts.
Can this animal be Eaten In Islam?
Some people eat it and say that it is very delicious.
What is the ruling on eating coconut crab in Islam?
In Islam it is clear which animals are eaten and which cannot be eaten. Animals that in two places, water and land (amphibians) are animals that cannot be eaten (haram). Crab is one that lives on land and is not included in aquatic animals such as fish or sea crabs.
He also sometimes needs water to moisten his respiratory organs. This is considered an animal in both places, so this animal is not one of those that are allowed to be eaten.

Maya Jama and fiancé NBA star Ben Simmons split due to 'nonstop careers' just eight months after getting engaged
and live on Freeview channel 276
Maya Jama and Ben Simmons have reportedly split following an eight month engagement.
The British presenter, 28, and the Australian athlete, 26, called it quits after they struggled with their busy schedules as well as their long-distance relationship.
A source told NY Post that the split was "one of the hardest decisions of their lives."
They said: "While they both care for each other so much, they truly gave it their all and realise that they just come from two different worlds.
"It's been a difficult time for them…they now understand they don't have the time they thought to dedicate to this relationship."
Maya is based in London and is tipped to be the next presenter for Love Island, while Ben works in Brooklyn as he plays for the NBA team Brooklyn Nets.
"After many long nights and hours of heartfelt talks, they finally realised as much as they love each other, their nonstop careers and endless travel have made it incredibly impossible to make it work," the insider added.
Ben proposed to the radio DJ last Christmas whilst she spent the holiday season at his £3.7 million New Jersey home.
Although their 15-month relationship is coming to an end, it is understood that the pair want to stay in each other's lives as "that there is a lot of love between them."
The split comes weeks after the couple denied initial rumours that they had broken up while Maya was celebrating her birthday on 14 August, amid claims the presenter wanted to focus on her career.
The NBA star posted a black and white throwback picture of the two to quash the rumours, while Maya denied the reports on Twitter a day after the story was released.
Maya said: "Stop believing sources in papers [please]."
Ben and Maya were first linked together in June 2021, when they were seen at London Mayfair's Sexy Fish restaurant and have kept the majority of their relationship out of the public eye.
However, they were seen kissing at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships the following month and Maya was sporting the £600,000 engagement ring at the GRM gala on 1 August.
Despite this, The Sun reported that the couple decided to split after things became tricky last month.
A source said: "Maya called [the engagement] off after things came to head…Maya is not going back to New York now, it's heartbreaking for the both of them, especially as they were so committed to each other.
"They're both young and want to focus on their careers. Maya has a bright future ahead of her with jobs coming in from all over the world and is feeling positive.
"She has been hitting the gym a lot and spending time with her good friends," they added.

7029 West – Does Management Make Living Here Difficult?
Today we look at some issues we uncovered from residents at 7029 West.
"In June 2020 during the Global Covid-19 Pandemic we moved into 7029 West Apartment complex. They called me the day before our "Move-In" date asking if they could push back our move-in day to allow them to Replace the carpet. Since they were planning to "Replace" the carpet and we were in the mist of a Global Pandemic, I agreed to push back the move-in date. Also, this specific day I was only planning to get the keys and lay down shelf liners in the kitchen cabinets and bathrooms. The actual movers were coming the next day.
I was told we could come in the afternoon to get the keys and they would show us the apartment. This would be the first time we saw the unit we would be living in, since again we were in the middle of a Shut-Down due to Covid-19 and things were being done differently. Once I saw the unit and saw the carpet, I could easily see that the carpet was only vacuumed because the carpet still had indentions where furniture once was. When I confronted the apartment complex employee that was showing us the unit, she admitted that they had "professional cleaners" come in to vacuum clean the carpet. And I was told very firmly that "NO- this unit was not ever going to get new carpet as it is not an updated unit." My reply and argument was that "we are in the middle of a Global Pandemic and I have allergies." "Sorry, we'd be happy to have professional cleaners vacuum again next week." I was shocked as I pointed out, "oh, next week when I have all my furniture and boxes everywhere. Does that sound like a good plan to you?!" After pointing out the obvious to her, she finally realized how ridiculous her last comment was and simply moved on with other conversation. We moved in and the carpet has gotten even dirtier during the 3 years we have been living there."
"A few months after that wonderful move-in experience, we noticed that our built-in microwave was not turning during use when it has the capability to. We put in a maintenance request to have the microwave looked at and fixed. After several days, we called the office to find out if they have even looked at our microwave and what the deal was. People in the office informed us that it had been looked at and a part was ordered to make it capable of turning. As my husband was talking to them and listening to their excuses, and rambled on, stating that the part will not arrive to the office until 2 weeks from now, my husband had to point out to them, "Don't you have at least one vacant unit right now? Replace the good microwave (in the vacant unit) for ours and put in the part once it arrives into the vacant unit's microwave."
Our refrigerator started to leak from the bottom one day. I cleaned up the water all over the kitchen floor, informed my husband that we seem to have a leak underneath the refrigerator, and we put in a maintenance request. The maintenance comes while both of us are at work, and simply cleans the water from the floor, like I had already done. Oh, they also spilled a full pitcher of Fruit Punch, but were kind enough to clean that up as well. Several days later, the fridge leaks again; and again, we put in another maintenance request. After the third time of this cycle, I explained, "Replace this fridge with one that works today, and then your maintenance people can work on fixing the broken fridge in their workshop on their own time."
According to one resident, "Do I really need to point out the obvious to the Office Manager every time we seem to have a maintenance issue? We tenants must Micro-manage the Office Manager to get things done. "
Do you want to live where "routine" things require extra effort? Do the benefits of living at 7029 outway the detriments?

'Bone-chilling': Florida man stuffs dog into trash bag, flings it in dumpster after owners die, sheriff says
LEE COUNTY, Fla. - Employees of a Family Dollar in Southwest Florida were alarmed when they found something moving inside a trash bag in a dumpster outside the store. When they opened the black trash bag, they found a 16-year-old dog named Xyla with a rope tied around her neck.
The employees recognized the "intentional abuse" and took the Shih Tzu to Blue Pearl Pet Hospital to be evaluated, Sheriff Carmine Marceno said in a press conference on Monday. The sheriff's office began investigating immediately, which ultimately led to the arrest of Anthony Bellman, a 55-year-old man from Lehigh Acres.

Detectives obtained "bone-chilling" surveillance video of the incident behind the Family Dollar store, which allegedly shows Bellman grabbing a black trash bag from the trunk of his blue SUV and flinging it into a dumpster.
MORE CRIME: Florida man arrested for shaking 2-month-old baby because it 'would not stop crying': deputies

"You can see on this video that he has absolute zero regard for Xyla," Sheriff Marceno said. "No living thing deserves to be discarded like common trash. The suspect literally throwing a life away. This video is disgusting, and my detectives went full-force to find who would do this."

It was discovered that Xyla was microchipped and her owners were dead, Sheriff Marceno said. It was also revealed that Bellman, a family member of the two original owners that are deceased, was reportedly on his way to the Humane Society so Xyla could be put down.
"Instead, he tried to throw her away in a dumpster where she could have slowly suffocated to death or died of heat stroke," Sheriff Marceno said.
Xyla, who is "blind to a certain extent," was evaluated at the Blue Pearl Pet Hospital, and vets said she "was on her way to a painful death" if she hadn't been discovered," the sheriff said.
"Her last moments would have been like drowning from the inside out," he added.

Now, however, Xyla is "healthy and happy" and has a second chance at life. Lee County Domestic Animal Services plans to work with the State Attorney's Office to see if Xyla finds a loving home.
"Man, they're heroes. They really are," Sheriff Marceno said of the staff at the animal hospital.
As for Bellman, he was taken into custody and charged with felony aggravated animal cruelty. He also earned himself a spot on the newly enacted Lee County Animal Abuser Registry.

"Instead of landing in a dumpster where he belongs, Bellman landed in jail," Sheriff Marceno said. "The message is clear: You abuse an animal in Lee County, Florida, and I promise you, we will hunt you down and no matter where you go, we're gonna find you and you're coming back to be fully charged to the fullest extent of the law."
Bellman was released later on Friday after posting $50,000 bond.

Trump Scheduled To Hold Rallies In Iowa & Georgia
Former President Donald Trump, who has been flirting in the media with making another White House bid in 2024, is scheduled to hold rallies in the key swing states of Iowa and Georgia in the next few weeks.
On Tuesday, Trump's Save America PAC has confirmed that he will appear in Perry, Georgia, on September 25 and then in Des Moines, Iowa, on October 9.
In July, Trump told Sean Hannity that he made his mind about whether to run for President in 2024 but refused to say what decision he had made.
"The country needs it. We have to take care of this country. I don't want to, is this fun? Fighting constantly? Fighting always? I mean, the country, what we have done is so important," Trump said in July, hinting at another bid in 2024.
A week of political news in your in-box.
We find the news you need to know, so you don't have to.
The former president also seems to have eliminated out former Vice President Mike Pence as his running mate if he were to run again in 2024. During an interview in May, Trump talked about the possibility of choosing Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Florida) as his vice president in 2024.
"He's a friend of mine. I endorsed Ron, and after I endorsed him, he took off like a rocket ship. He's done a great job as governor," Trump said on Fox Business back in May. "A lot of people like that — you know, I'm just saying what I read and what you read — they love that ticket," Trump then said. "But certainly, Ron would be considered. He's a great guy."
DeSantis has been widely rumored to be running for president himself in 2024. On Tuesday, however, he refused to comment on whether he would make his own bid. "All the speculation about me is purely manufactured," said DeSantis.

On September 7, 2023, at 14:55 EST, Duo's Engineering Team was alerted by monitoring that the DUO39 deployment was unreachable. The root cause was identified as an automation test that began at 14:53 EST and failed because it pointed to the wrong deployment.
The issue was resolved at 15:18 EST by restoring the load balancer configurations for DUO39.
September 7, 2023
14:53 Prior to incident alert - Automation test executed
14:55 Duo Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) received an alert indicating a failure in the load balancer health check.
14:57 Duo SRE acknowledged the failed health check alert.
14:57 Duo SRE received a high error volume alert indicating that users on DUO39 were experiencing timeouts.
15:03 Duo Engineering started investigating, confirming alerts were correlated and impacting customers.
15:13 The root issue and resolution of restoring configurations to the associated load balancers identified (see timestamp 14:53)
15:18 Resolution completed on first balancer pair, thus enabling authentications
15:20 Resolution completed on all balancer pairs
15:22 Customer reports of authentication working, impact subsided
15:43 Status page updated to "We have identified an issue causing authentication failures on DUO39. The issue has resolved. We will continue to monitor closely and are actively investigating the root cause."
16:17 Status page updated to "The issue with DUO39 is fully resolved and all services are now functional."
DUO39 has multiple redundant load balancer pairs that accept requests from the internet and distribute them to applications. Within each pair, one half actively processes requests and the other acts as a passive hot spare.
When a load balancer requires maintenance, Duo Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) works on the passive half, then performs a passive to active swap, and repeats the maintenance on the remaining system.
Duo SRE has developed a new process for auto-detecting load balancer inventory which eliminates risk and better detects errors prior to maintenance swaps. We conducted a test to determine if the new process correctly connected to DUO39's production load balancers. We intended to only test the connection to DUO39. However, an error in the script caused the test to remove configuration from all DUO39 load balancers, causing them to stop accepting requests for authentication, APIs, and other operations.
Upon receiving the alert SRE began investigation, discovered the issue, and manually restored configurations to the load balancer pairs. It took 23 minutes to bring the first pair of load balancers back online. This pair had enough capacity to handle all DUO39 traffic while Duo SRE worked to restore the remaining pairs.
Duo SRE team is dedicated to providing reliable service to all users. In that regard the Duo SRE team will complete a retrospective to determine steps and actions to avoid similar incidents in the future.
Note: You can find your Duo deployment's ID and sign up for updates via the StatusPage by following the instructions in this knowledge base article.

Nearly forty% of one's world's adult population is overweight by 2045, we have been on course for nearly twenty five% to be obese.
At the same time, we have been becoming more and more enthusiastic about #bodygoals and you can #fitspo, and you will programmes such Love Isle shame you getting not having six bags or becoming a size eight.
Centered on a new study from the Bad People Bible, both men and women overestimate exactly how narrow and/otherwise muscle its people create ideally such these to end up being. They questioned step one,100 People in america to make use of an effective 12-point graphic level to disclose the human body shapes and forms one greatest represent them and their romantic lovers.
That showed that individuals with 'apple' and you will 'pear' molded authorities feel the reasonable believe, with women having 'perfect' government having around the same level of body trust given that the common, fat guy.
That's a 48lb weight difference in the average woman's looks and you she would preferably would you like to keeps – according to responses of 500 females.
An average woman weighs 172lb and also a great Body mass index out of 31.5 and that puts her on edging to be 'obese', while you are their better human anatomy drops during the 'normal' range. A suitable pounds is simply same as Kim Kardashian's when she .
Therefore 91% of women to your average human body size told you they had wanna dump about a tiny pounds. But, worryingly, 65% of them whom currently encountered the top size said the same – that's a thing that most other knowledge in other countries have found as well. An effective 2015 Australian poll unearthed that when you find yourself ninety% out-of over weight Aussie lady planned to slim down, 1 / 2 of the ladies whom wanted to diet were not obese on most of the.
Incase you are looking at body trust, proportions cannot frequently improve anything for females. At finest proportions, women are merely 0.8% well informed.
The typical dude features exactly what we had most likely name good 'father bod' – commercially pre-heavy however, seems-smart, carrying a little extra cushioning. Making it not surprising one 67% of males must clean out some lbs…but that is an equivalent quantity of wannabe dieters just like the people having this new 'ideal' females dimensions. So that lets you know everything you need to realize about how screwed up slimming culture could have been for the female.
Males towards the mediocre (overweight) system have the same human body depend on get as the women towards females most readily useful…even with simply a dozen% of females believing that an average guy comes with the aesthetically perfect system (compared to the merely nine% of males just who believe the common girl is the best).
Very, typically female should treat a good amount of weight; males need to slim down and you will gain muscle mass; and you will – according to anyone already within 'ideal' dimensions – men create see a larger boost in confidence if they you will definitely get to its idea of brilliance.
That all are said, we are more harsh with the our selves than simply our very own lovers are on you (when the we're dating the alternative sex).
Both genders got an exclusive chance to say how that they had just like their partners' bodies to alter, the desires don't matches their partners' very own standard for themselves. Anybody overestimated exactly how narrow otherwise really-mainly based the contrary gender wished these were.
The study found that anyone will come across partners with the same BMIs very appealing to them (at the very least while in relationship). If you think about that numerous anyone discover their pounds sneaking right up since their partner's does, that may sound right. It's named 'assortative mating' – selecting people that are exactly like oneself more appealing.
One another sexes was in fact requested to select the system they'd probab to possess just before scientists up coming had their lovers to determine.
When lady chosen one's body that they had possib to possess, the common are a thin figure consider 124lb. Merely 8% of females interviewed already matched that it appearance. When people utilized the same details to construct the female human body they had most like their lovers to possess, the typical weighed 20lb more. Over twice as many women (20%) got which physical appearance than the leaner variation the ladies along picked.
In the event that people chose their best looks, the average considered 18 lb and you will are pretty muscle tissue-sure. 7% of men told you it currently looked like it. Ladies' mediocre ideal male shape try muscly, however, 12lb lighter – torn, but a little less jacked than what people popular.
However, just one during the 10 guys said it appeared to be which, that renders your body that ladies very want its men partners' to own doubly strange because men's ideal ladies human anatomy.
It ends up that it is women that have more impractical looks standards for themselves in addition to their heterosexual people than simply boys.
Since the we're incessantly becoming warned concerning carrying excess fat crisis, it's no wonder a lot of folks have to lose some https://www.datingrating.net/tr/lavalife-inceleme weight. Which is no wonder one women's body count on is gloomier than simply men's room – regardless of if they look what guys think becoming 'perfect' (indicating one care about-really worth can not be sought for on the outside).
However the intriguing and comforting most important factor of this research is that our couples do not want us to getting little waifs. Somebody overestimate just how slim otherwise well-created its partners should them to be.
Kiss so long towards public life – Love Isle is back in order to dominate your evenings, on the newest series encouraging much more drama than in the past.

1967 Aston Martin DB6
Year of manufacture1967
Mileage97 500 km / 60 584 mi
Car typeCoupé
Reference number875577733
Interior colourRed
Interior brand colourRood
Number of doors2
Exterior colourGrey
Fuel typePetrol
Transmission: 5 gears, Manual gearbox
Model year: 2022
Registration number: AM-27-53
Does this not look good? This matching numbers Aston Martin DB6 is more so remarkable by virtue of its brilliant colour selection and wonderful condition. This fully restored example was originally supplied to the States on the 17th February 1967. The first owner was quite astute in his choice, going for the 3.73:1 limited slip diff, normalair air-conditioning, chrome wire wheels and safety belts.
As the Aston Martin DB5's s successor the DB6 was given a longer wheelbase. The main reason for this was to enlarge the cabin space. The higher roof line, modified rear windows and the rear "Kamm-tail" with integrated spoiler distinguished the DB6 from its predecessor. Surprisingly the modifications to front and rear only added 5 cm in length compared to the DB5.
The bodywork of this example was not a complete Carrozzeria Touring affair with Aston Martin taking care in the main. Aluminium was still used to keep the weight down. The bodywork is in excellent
condition with nice and thin, correctly aligned panelwork. The excellent current state of the paintwork is down to the high quality of the re-spray. The chrome wire wheels and brightwork look and are in very good shape. Inside there is a sea of red carpet and red leather. The Smith gauges are in all in great condition as well as in perfect working order. The 3-spoke wooden steering wheel is also a very welcome sight. The lovely supple leather has started to develop a patina, only adding to the allure of this British Grand Tourer.
As a Grand Tourer this Aston Martin fits the bill exceedingly well. The longer wheelbase has improved its the roadholding compared to the DB5. The Kamm-tail and other bodywork modifications have significantly reduced lift at higher speeds. The cherry on the cake is the delightfully exact ZF gearbox keeping the 282 Ps 4.0 litre straight-six at the right RPM. In other words this translates to an absolute joyful driving experience. When at the time the DB6 stood new in the showroom it was hailed as the perfect car with enough room for four and their luggage. Don't get us wrong it was still a seriously fast car, an absolute benchmark car. As far as that is concerned, after 50 years not much has changed; the Aston Martin DB6 still gives the kind of performance modern cars simply cannot match.
This Aston Martin DB6 is not just a great looker but is also great to drive. The car comes with a document file containing amongst others things a copy of the original sales receipt, a printout of the DB6 register and a series of photos. Compared to a DB5 this most probably represents the buy of the moment when it comes to Aston Martin.

DIY Gifting: Homemade Tea Blends
Holiday gifting is in the air. Store window displays became festive overnight and neighbors are stringing lights. I always spend the week before December thinking through people's gifts, what to buy and what to make. This year, I'm making more gifts than buying and starting early to avoid the accompanying stress. First up: customized tea blends for family and friends!
Before moving in with my boyfriend, I used tea bags whenever I made tea mainly because they were simple and mess-free. But Sam likes loose teas because he can create his own blends depending on his mood or the season. The nice thing about gifting custom tea blends is that they last a very long time, and people love that you put thought into a gift they'd like in particular. For my mom, a black tea-lover, we'll use an Assam tea and orange peel. For my sister who loves herbal tea, we'll do chamomile flowers, a little lemongrass and lavender.
To Get Started: If you have a dedicated herb or tea shop in your town, this is a great place to get started. If not, you're still in luck. All you need for this project are loose-leaf teas which you can find in the bulk aisle at many grocery stores. Then you'll need small little cloth tea bags which I've found at our local supermarket (they're often kept in the bulk spice aisle). If you can't get ahold of them, you can make your own little bundles with cheesecloth tied up in baker's twine or a thin natural jute twine. Happy gifting!

BTS Is Officially Performing "Butter" For The First Time At The BBMAs, But Will It Be Live?
Quick, ARMYs! Act surprised! Big Hit Music and the Billboard Music Awards just announced BTS will perform their comeback stage for their new single "Butter" at the BBMAs on Sunday, May 23. ARMYs pretty much had that part of BTS' "Butter" comeback all figured out, considering the BBMAs take place just two days after the song drops on Friday, May 21. The question on ARMYs' minds now is: Will BTS' performance at the 2021 BBMAs be virtual or live?
For the past year, BTS' performances in the U.S. have been entirely virtual due to strict COVID-19 safety guidelines preventing them from traveling to the U.S. But as COVID-19 cases continue to slowly fall in the United States due to the introduction of vaccines, award shows have been getting somewhat back to normal. The Oscars took place in March, and the ceremony was held almost entirely in person (albeit with some safety measures in place).
There are very few details about how the BBMAs will conduct its show this year amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. All that's known is the show will broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
Considering many award shows have been conducting relatively normal ceremonies with some behind-the-scenes safety measures in place, it's probably safe to assume performers based in the U.S. who have already been announced — like The Weeknd and P!nk — will perform live. But that doesn't necessarily mean BTS will.
BTS is based in South Korea and would have to take a 14-hour flight to the U.S. to participate in the show in person. That's quite a long trip (not to mention risk) for one performance in L.A., especially considering Big Hit Music is more than capable of producing top-notch performances that can be aired virtually during the show. They literally built an exact replica of the 2021 Grammys stage for their "Dynamite" performance.
Still, it's not impossible they'd attend in person. BTS spent nearly a month in the U.S. in the lead-up to their February 2020 MOTS:7 comeback. If the group planned to stay for an extended amount of time to do promo and schedules, it would seem like more of a possibility. So it's understandable why some ARMYs may be curious if an in-person performance is a possibility.
But sure enough, Billboard confirmed in a press release that BTS' performance will be filmed remotely in Korea, and ARMYs are happy about the decision. The boys' safety is their first priority, after all. And based on BTS' other virtual performances over the past year, ARMYs will be blown away no matter what.

Twitter has accused Elon Musk of 'looking for an excuse' to get out of a deal to buy the company because the stock market decline meant it was no longer favourable for him.
The social media platform has sued Musk to force the completion of the $44 billion takeover after the Tesla and SpaceX boss said he was backing out.
Musk's counter-claims against Twitter have not yet been made public, but a published court filing from the social media site directly responds to several of Musk's claims – including him accusing Twitter of fraud and hiding the true number of fake or bot accounts on the platform in order to push through the deal.
Musk recently tweeted: 'If Twitter simply provides their method of sampling 100 accounts and how they're confirmed to be real, the deal should proceed on original terms.
'However, if it turns out that their SEC filings are materially false, then it should not.'
But in the new court filing, Twitter calls Musk's accusations 'factually inaccurate, legally insufficient, and commercially irrelevant'.
Twitter labels the billionaire's claim that Twitter had hidden or misrepresented the number of bot accounts on the platform 'a story' that had been 'imagined in an effort to escape a merger agreement that Musk no longer found attractive once the stock market — and along with it, his massive personal wealth — declined in value'.
The company has previously published a rough estimation that around 5% of the accounts on the site are bots, a figure that Musk has latched onto and disputed during the takeover saga — leading to the current legal stand-off.
During the takeover, Twitter has given Musk and his lawyers access to company data to allow them to complete their own analysis, but Musk's team has argued the data has failed to give them a clear picture. In response, Twitter has said Musk's argument is 'incoherent'.
'Musk invents representations Twitter never made and then tries to wield, selectively, the extensive confidential data Twitter provided him to conjure a breach of those purported representations,' Twitter says in its filing.
'Yet Musk simultaneously and incoherently asserts that Twitter breached the merger agreement by stonewalling his information requests.'
The court documents reveal that in his counter-claim, Musk and his lawyers suggest their own analysis of data Twitter provided to them has found that, in fact, around 10% of the accounts on Twitter could be categorised as bots – and therefore Twitter had misrepresented its position.
However, Twitter has also hit back at the claim, arguing that Musk's team used a 'generic web tool' to carry out this analysis, one it says has previously identified even Musk's own account as a bot.
'That claim is untenable on its face because Musk is not measuring the same thing as Twitter or even using the same data as Twitter,' the company says. 'The result is a distortion that Musk is hoping will nonetheless make waves.'
Twitter adds Musk's aggressive approach to the takeover deal meant he 'forwent' any due diligence. 'The counter-claims fail to justify Musk's plan to dishonour the merger agreement,' Twitter says.
'Musk claims that he has the right to walk away from the deal if Twitter was 'miscounting' the number of false or spam accounts on its platform. That is incorrect — as the facts and terms of the merger agreement show.
'When Musk offered to buy Twitter, he did not ask for — and Twitter did not make — any representations regarding the number of false or spam accounts. The merger agreement does not contain a single reference to false or spam accounts.
'Nor did Musk ask Twitter for any information to 'verify' the number of false or spam accounts before he entered into the merger agreement. To the contrary, Musk forwent all due diligence — giving Twitter 24 hours to accept his take-it-or-leave-it offer before he would present it directly to Twitter's stockholders.'
The case is currently due to go to a trial in October.

How Does "Fit" Versus "Non-fit" Affect Audits of Estimates? The Compatibility Between Focus and Mindset Open Access
Hong, Yue (Spring 2019)
Auditors frequently fail to critically evaluate management's accounting estimates, jeopardizing
financial reporting quality (PCAOB 2017). I propose that one way to potentially improve audits
of estimates is to align an auditor's focus (prevention/promotion) and mindset (concrete/abstract)
in a compatible way. I predict that judgment quality will be higher when the focus and mindset fit
versus do not fit each other, but I find the opposite. To reconcile my results with the typical findings
in non-judgment tasks that performance is higher under fit versus non-fit, I develop a new
prediction. I propose that whether judgment quality is higher under fit versus non-fit depends on a
third factor: auditors' willingness to engage in the judgment task before receiving any
manipulations. I find that for auditors who are initially less engaged, judgment quality is higher
under fit versus non-fit, consistent with the typical findings in non-judgment tasks. However, for
auditors who are initially more engaged, judgment quality is higher under non-fit versus fit,
consistent with my main results. My study suggests that how "fit" versus "non-fit" affects
performance is more complex than previously thought. My study implies that firms should
consider auditors' initial willingness to engage in the judgment task when using fit and non-fit to
improve audits of estimates.

News release
LEUVEN, BELGIUM – November 16, 2022 – Terumo Europe welcomes the positive guidance released by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) mentioning that microwave ablation can be used provided standard arrangements are in place for clinical governance, consent, and audit. This is positive news as it broadens access to minimally invasive alternatives to surgery available to patients with symptomatic benign thyroid nodules.
The guidance describes ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation for symptomatic benign thyroid nodules as a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in an outpatient setting using local anaesthesia. The aim is to reduce symptoms and improve cosmetic appearance by making the nodule smaller while preserving thyroid function, and with fewer complications than surgery.
This guidance is part of NICE's interventional procedure programme which considers whether interventional procedures are safe and work well enough for wider use in the NHS. A comprehensive review of the literature and consultations with clinical experts and patient representatives informed the decision of the Committee.
This is a positive endorsement of the treatment and a complement to the 2020 European Thyroid Association Clinical Practice Guideline for the Use of Image-Guided Ablation in Benign Thyroid Nodules1.
The NICE document also reports that using uncooled microwave ablation devices means thinner needles can be used.
"Nowadays microwave technology is widely used in liver, lung, and kidney ablation" says Dr. Eduardo Crespo, Chief of Radiology Department at Hospital Universitario Fundación Jimenez Diaz in Madrid, Spain. "So far, the main gap to approach thyroid ablation has been the lack of thinner and shorter probes, to avoid potential damage to the adjacent nerves, which could lead to complications. Within the TATOpro antennae range, Terumo Interventional Systems introduced a dedicated thyroid antenna as thin as 18G with a length of 8 cm, to be used at limited power. Moreover, a 17G antenna is also available to treat larger nodules in one session, avoiding the need for patients to come back for multiple treatments."
Two recent publications by Yildirim and Karakas (2022)2, concluded that uncooled microwave ablation with the TATO system is an effective and safe method for the treatment of benign thyroid nodules that preserves the thyroid function.
Dr. Camillo Aliberti, Head of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Department Hospital Pederzoli, Peschiera del Garda, Italy, further explains: "In comparison to radiofrequency technology, microwaves are not influenced by tissue impedance and are less influenced by blood flow (heath sink effect). Microwaves are quicker in coagulating the treated area, requiring less antenna repositioning and producing a very small amount of vapor which allows a good visibility under ultrasound guidance and precise ablation execution, enabling any type of nodule (solid, cystic, or mixed) to be treated."
Terumo Interventional Systems offers dedicated workshops to support professional education for physicians willing to start the service.
Yildirim G, Karakas HM. Uncooled Microwave Ablation as a Treatment Option to Preserve Thyroid Function in Patients with Benign Thyroid Nodules. J Belg Soc Radiol. 2022 May 26;106(1):50. doi: 10.5334/jbsr.2746. PMID: 35651913; PMCID: PMC9138712.
