To build jQuery, you need to have the latest Node.js/npm and git 1.7 or later. Earlier versions might work, but are not supported. For Windows, you have to download and install git and Node.js. OS X users should install Homebrew. Once Homebrew is installed, run brew install git to install git, and brew install node to install Node.js. Linux/BSD users should use their appropriate package managers to install git and Node.js, or build from source if you swing that way. Easy-peasy. Special builds can be created that exclude subsets of jQuery functionality. This allows for smaller custom builds when the builder is certain that those parts of jQuery are not being used. For example, an app that only used JSONP for $.ajax() and did not need to calculate offsets or positions of elements could exclude the offset and ajax/xhr modules. Any module may be excluded except for core, and selector. To exclude a module, pass its path relative to the src folder (without the .js extension). Some example modules that can be excluded are: Note: Excluding Sizzle will also exclude all jQuery selector extensions (such as effects/animatedSelector and css/hiddenVisibleSelectors). The build process shows a message for each dependent module it excludes or includes. As an option, you can set the module name for jQuery's AMD definition. By default, it is set to "jquery", which plays nicely with plugins and third-party libraries, but there may be cases where you'd like to change this. Simply set the "amd" option: For questions or requests regarding custom builds, please start a thread on the Developing jQuery Core section of the forum. Due to the combinatorics and custom nature of these builds, they are not regularly tested in jQuery's unit test process. The non-Sizzle selector engine currently does not pass unit tests because it is missing too much essential functionality.

Biography:
ValiAnna is a practicing Bowl Master, using Sacred Sounds and Crystal Medicine Singing Bowls to weave empowerment and a love to heal the heart and the soul.
With her many years of Shamanic studies, together with the sacred crystal singing bowls and her spirit voice, she weaves a powerful loving opening to heal the heart and soul. Her life's mission is to share the power of sound for the transformation of humanity, guiding individuals and humanity through a profound opening of the heart and soul.
ValiAnna found her passion for crystal singing bowls 15 years ago in Mt. Shasta after a camping trip, where she purchased her first 2 beautiful Alchemy crystal bowls. After playing for herself, she realized how much they touched her heart and were transforming her life.  She knew that she needed to share these powerful transformational tools with others.
Eventually, she found her way to study with Tom Kenyon, a world renowned Sound Healer, and she received her sound healer's certification. Afterwards, ValiAnna retired from her career of 45 years in dentistry to pursue her mission of sharing the transformative power of sound vibrations with humanity.
ValiAnna currently lives on the Monterey Bay and offers her services both locally and beyond. www.sacredsoundsmonterey.com
