![]() Today, Amateur Radio is more popular than ever, with more than 3,000,000 licensed operators! The International Telecommunication Union ( ITU) has recognized the IARU as representing the interests of Amateur Radio. Region 2 covers the Americas, and Region 3 is comprised of Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific island nations, and most of Asia. IARU Region 1 includes Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Northern Asia. Thanks to the support of enlightened administrations in every part of the globe, radio amateurs are now able to experiment and communicate in frequency bands strategically located throughout the radio spectrum. From the 25 countries that formed the IARU in 1925, the IARU has grown to include 160 member-societies in three regions. Just two years later, at the International Radiotelegraph Conference, Amateur Radio gained the allocations still recognized today - 160, 80, 40, 20, and 10 meters. Since its founding, the IARU has worked tirelessly to defend and expand the frequency allocations for Amateur Radio. Amateur Radio pioneers met in Paris in 1925 and created the IARU to support Amateur Radio worldwide. In the rush to use these shorter wavelengths, Amateur Radio was “in grave danger of being pushed aside,” the IARU’s history has noted. ![]() It was on this day in 1925 that the International Amateur Radio Union was formed in Paris.Īmateur Radio experimenters were the first to discover that the short wave spectrum - far from being a wasteland - could support worldwide propagation.

In the last two lines, it does read as if the danger for angels is in the love of the human. The desire is for grief to be flimsy and transient, rather than something permanent and ponderous. It's so curious, however, how the occasionally clunky syntax and odd verbal choices take on a new life with Van Morrison's or Luke Kelly's vocal chords.īasman - it seems to me that malahat is right. I don't know that I'd like it if it wasn't for its second life as a song. I tend to agree with Noga that it's not a great poem, or even such a great poem. he'd lose his wings at the dawn of day.), I thought it was perhaps an allusion to a poet losing his/her spirituality through worldy passion. As we all do who ever loved and lost (tears falling on my keyboard).įwiw, I thought ".And I said, let grief be a fallen leaf at the dawning of the day" was about grief succumbing to the hope of a new beginning. The poet knows he has only himself to blame for stepping right into the snare knowing full well it will end in tears. The next excuse would be: I was the angel (the poet from the other world), and she, she couldn't see how special I was, because she was just "a creature made of clay -" (human?) This is probably the excuse every thwarted lover tells himself by way of consoling a cracked heart. "O I loved too much and by such by such is happiness thrown away." ![]() When the angel woos the clay he'd lose his wings at the dawn of day.

Your REE is determined by size, age, sex, and lean body mass. Self-monitoring is also said to increase awareness, self-efficacy, and accountability, which are all considered important aspects of success in any behavioral change program.Ī calorie calculator can also help you estimate how many calories you burn in a day or the number of calories your body burns when resting, known as your resting energy expenditure (REE). Monitoring metrics such as body weight enables you to track your progress for the purpose of meeting your goals. ![]() It includes monitoring a behavior-such as food intake-and requires that you track your progress with some measurable outcome related to that behavior. Self-monitoring is an essential component of any behavioral change program. Studies have shown that individuals who use digital tracking such as calorie calculators and counters as part of their weight-loss strategy tend to lose more weight than those who do not. How can a calorie calculator help me?Ī calorie calculator will help you estimate the number of calories you need for daily maintenance, weight loss, or weight gain by considering your age, sex, height, weight, and activity level.Ĭounting calories is a key component of self-monitoring and allows you to track your behaviors and progress in order to meet your health and fitness goals. However, consuming adequate protein at or above the recommended amount is necessary to maintain lean body mass. How many calories you consume and what percent of your calories come from each macronutrient can be manipulated to meet your individual needs and goals. This is a much-discussed and debated issue, and the current understanding is that there is no one-size-fits-all recommendation. These recommendations are broad and meant to cover the needs of many different people with different dietary situations. The Institute of Medicine recommends an acceptable macronutrient distribution range for carbohydrates (45-65% of energy), protein (10-35% of energy), and fat (20-35% of energy limit saturated and trans fats). Alcohol contains 7.1 calories per gram (7.1 kcal/gm), and the liquid calories can add up fast! How many calories do I need? However, since alcohol does contain calories, it is best to include it here. Even though protein can provide energy, its primary purpose is to support muscle growth, maintenance, and repair.Īlcohol: Alcohol by itself isn't considered part of the nutritional food groups. What makes it unique is that it contains nitrogen. Protein: Protein is an energy-yielding nutrient like fat and carbohydrates, and it provides about 4 kcals per gram. Therefore, foods with a much higher fat content provide more calories per gram than foods with a high carbohydrate content. Because of these hydrogens, fat has more than twice the calories of carbohydrates. Chemically, fat is made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen but has twice as many hydrogen atoms as carbohydrates. For every gram of carbohydrates consumed, 4 kcals of energy become available.įats: Foods such as oils and butter are the most common fat sources, also referred to as lipids. Chemically, carbohydrates are composed of the elements carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. The nutrients that contribute to caloric intake include:Ĭarbohydrates: Sugars, starches, and non-energy-yielding nutrients such as fiber are all carbohydrates. Eating plenty of vegetables, grains, and fruits-along with lean or plant-based protein sources-is one good way to achieve a healthy balanced diet. A healthy diet consisting of nutrient-dense foods ensures that you can get the nutrients you need for optimal health without overconsuming calories. This dietary approach is crucial for weight maintenance. The banana provides electrolytes, fiber, and prebiotics, while the jellybeans provide just 200 calories of sugar. In other words, you should be trying to consume more energy-dense calories or calories that contain a lot of nutrients per calorie rather than empty calories.įor example, if choosing a 200-calorie snack, 200 calories from jellybeans are not the same as 200 calories from a banana. The quality of your food should always be considered for the goals of weight loss, weight gain, or weight maintenance. Referring to a particular food or meal as having a certain number of calories dictates how much energy will be released by the nutrients in that food or full meal once digested and absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract.Īll calories are not the same some are quality calories, meaning they provide more nutrients per calorie than others. Kilocalories, or kcal, is the term used for measuring food energy. From a scientific perspective, a calorie is a unit of energy and is the amount needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water one degree Celsius. ![]() I’m particularly interested in those running the new Dragon Professional Individual for Mac (essentially V6)?Īny major stability improvements i.r.o.

You did it! Now wget your data using your proxy.wgetrc settings proxy_user and proxy_password, to set the proxy username and password. It has two arguments: and you can utilize the ‘proxy-user’ and ‘proxy-password’ options, and the equivalent. If you are not familiar with wget, the tool uses a pretty repetitive syntax. In this post, you will examine how to, by using wget behind a proxy server. Thanks to proxies, you can download content more securely from the world wide web. Then the request returns through that same server, although this may not always be the case, and that server forwards the received data from the requested webpage back to you. When you use a proxy server, traffic flows through the proxy server to the requested address. Proxy servers may exist in schools, workplaces, and other institutions, where users need authentication to access the internet, and in some cases restricts the user from accessing certain websites. Proxies are an intermediary server separating end-user clients from the destinations that they browse. A proxy server is any machine that translates traffic between networks or protocols. Speaking of downloads, the wget tool even supports downloads through HTTP proxies. Not to mention the tool is non-interactive and runs independently in the background, meaning it does not matter if you are actively logged on while downloads occur. Wget is versatile, which is another reason it became so popular, it can work for scripts, terminals, and cron jobs. Afterward, the retrieved data is saved in a directory structure mirroring the remote server, thus creating a clone of webpages via HTTP. It repeats this process until all content downloads or a specified recursion depth by the user is obtained. The tool also works as a web crawler by scraping linked resources from HTML pages and downloading them in sequence. And repeats this process until the whole file is successfully retrieved. So if a download stops before completion due to a network error, wget automatically continues the same download from where it left off. ![]() Wget is designed to be effectively reliable over slow or unstable network connections. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols. Wget is a GNU command-line utility tool primarily used to download content from the internet. Still having trouble? Here is an additional video that shows how to install wget on Windows 10. Open the command prompt (cmd.exe), and run wget to check if it was successfully installed.Copy the wget.exe file into your C:\Windows\System32 folder.Download wget for Windows and install the package.To install and configure wget for Windows: You can check for successful installation by rerunning the previous command to view its current version. ![]() Yes, we can call a person who is able to solve crosswords puzzles, including crosswords that created for adults a cruciverbalist.
