Q: Vaadin 14.1.17 - Get element selected in chart - Java Hello i'm wondering how to retrieve the clicked element from a pie chart in Vaadin 14.1.17.
I'm using a classic pie with DataSeries and some values inside and i want to get the current selected item from a click listener
DataSeries initialization
DataSeries ds = new DataSeries();

for (AssetClassModel a : p.getAssetClasses()) {
    ds.add(new DataSeriesItem(a.getDesc(), a.getPerc()));
}
conf.setSeries(ds);

I've tried reading the selected field inside DataSeriesItem but it's always false
Click Listener
chart.addSeriesClickListener(
        e -> {
            List<DataSeriesItem> items = ((DataSeries) e.getSeries()).getData();

            for (DataSeriesItem item : items) {
                System.out.println(item.getName() + " selected: " + item.isSelected());
            }

        }
);

Output
value1 selected: false
value2 selected: false
value4 selected: false

Do you have any idea on how to manage this?
Thanks
Davide

A: This is more of a workaround, but seems to work :)
The SeriesClickEvent has a getMouseDetails().getyValue() method. The returned value matches with the y value of an item. (It's the second constructor parameter of a DataSeriesItem)
chart.addSeriesClickListener(event->{
     series.getData().forEach( item->{
          if(event.getMouseDetails().getyValue()== ((DataSeriesItem)item).getY().doubleValue()){
              System.out.println("SELECTED : " +  ((DataSeriesItem)item).getName());
           }
     });
});

The isSelected() method seems to rely on the selected property set implicitly using item.setSelected(true);. This was confusing for me as well, so it's either a bug or a non documented behaviour.


Microsoft has really been on a 3D kick lately, first with Virtual Earth 3D and now with a demo of Photosynth, its attempt to take photos 3D. How do they do it?
Our software takes a large collection of photos of a place or an object, analyzes them for similarities, and then displays the photos in a reconstructed three-dimensional space, showing you how each one relates to the next.
After testing it out, I have to say that Photosynth is very cool. There's a neat flying effect when you zoom in on details of a picture. A Fly Around button lets you swoop around a 3D reconstructed image. There a lot of potential, but hopefully this product doesn't require 20-30 photos to work like PictureCloud.
The broad details remind me of Cooliris' PicLens product (Mac only) that creates an immersive photo viewing experience, but Photosynth is much more advanced.

Hello from Vegas!!! woot woot!
I decided to take a trip to the crazy city of Las Vegas to celebrate the fact that I'm now heading into a new chapter in my life. Yes, welcome to the thirties Linda! Do I feel different? I can't say that I do, however when I repeat the word thirty, I get this cringy reminder that I'm getting older lol.
A decade has passed and since I turned twenty I might not feel different, but I know that there are so many things that have changed in my life. I am wiser and hopefully a little more maturer then my twenty year old self. My taste in foods, music and my judgement on people are definitely different after 10 more years of living. I've grown in knowledge and adapted to a few hard obstacles that I've encountered in the past years but overall I can say that my life has been pretty great.
In the 10 years, I've changed jobs multiple times lol, felt heart breaks more than once, shared tears and pain with loved ones….yes these are bad things I've listed haha, but I've also experience my best friends weddings, moved into a place to call my own and formed great freindships….these are some of the good things 😉 EVERYONE EXPERIENCES UPS AND DOWNS IN LIFE AND IM TRULY LUCKY TO SAY THAT IN MY LIFE, THE UPS OUTWEIGH THE DOWNS.
Though my dating life has also been quite dramatic and crazy: every date, every meeting has also impacted on who I am. I feel that going into the thirties, my dating life will only get harder and probably even more dramatic than before. Heading into the thirties with my twenty year old experience, I feel more confident and optimistic that my "perfect" someone is close. If there isn't the "perfect" someone in my dating life then that's ok because I already have the " perfect" friendships, "perfect" family and "perfect" colleagues that and girl would dream of.
I'm ready for thirties, come on new adventures, new people, new stories!
LOVE, LAUGH AND CONTINUE TO LIVE! YOU LIVE ONCE-MAKE IT COUNT!!

Since I posted my last blog interviews and collaborations post, I've taken part in a few more. It's an important part of the blogging community and a great way to find new blogs, get to know other bloggers, and reach new readers.
In my latest batch of guest posts and blogger collaborations, I've shared 5 photos with Sharon Booth, my favourite books of the year with Damp Pebbles, a Thanksgiving travel post at Gypsy with a Day Job and two Christmas travel posts at Go Fam Go, Girls' Gospel and one at Mother Geek related to gifts. I finished up the year with Friday Night Drinks at A Little Book Problem.
Read on to find out what I had to say in each post. I hope you enjoy them and show the other blogs some love too.
In November 2018 I joined author Sharon Booth's 5 Photos Feature where bloggers and writers share 5 photos and discuss why they've chosen them.
I also appeared in the Damp Pebbles' "Recommended" feature where book bloggers chose their 3 favourite books from 2018. Go and have a look to see what I chose.
Towards the end of November, I wrote a piece for Gypsy with a Day Job where many bloggers collaborated for An Attitude of Gratitude, a lovely piece where people share what they are thankful for from their travels in time for Thanksgiving in the USA. Please head over to read what I, and others wrote.
I wrote a guest post for Mother Geek about how my Christmas traditions have changed in recent years. I share why I don't particularly like the festive season in the UK, and what I've done to remedy that. You can read my post here at Mother Geek, where you will also find more bloggers sharing their traditions.
I was pleased to contribute to a collaboration on Mother Geek's sister site, Girls Gospel where lots of bloggers joined in to share ideas for Gifts That Keep on Giving.

Please have a read and check out some of the other guest interviews of one of the many of Julie's book reviews. Julie has also featured on my Afternoon of Tea & Cake for the Soul.


COMEDIAN JEFF SHAW | Stand-up Comedian Jeff "The Fun Dude" Shaw | News : Freezing My Fun Buns Off!
Freezing My Fun Buns Off!
Greetings from Cleveland, Ohio!. Brrrr! Although it's been hard to stay warm with the mercury hovering around 7 degrees all week long, I've been enjoying my first week of vacation. I've been catching up on The Daily Show as well as writing. My first essay of my two-month break is up at my Word Press site "The Fun Dude Abides."
"I'm watching Jay Leno's last show online right now. In December of 1987, two months after embarking on my career as a professional touring comedian, I asked a security guard at the old Front Row Theater in Highland Heights, Ohio, if Jay would be willing to meet with me between shows. Ten minutes later, after Jay had changed out of his suit into a denim shirt and jeans, I was ushered into the greenroom. Jay put me at ease immediately by offering me a slice of pizza and a Pepsi. He asked me how long I had been doing comedy, gave me some words of encouragement, and, amazingly, treated me like a "fellow comic" until he had to say goodbye and receive some other guests. Because of Jay's kindness 26 years ago, I've made a point to "pay it forward" by always making time for superstar comedians such as Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock who come backstage to meet me."

On 18 April 1942, sixteen B-25 Mitchells under the command of Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle launched from the American aircraft carrier Hornet on a daring raid against mainland Japan. It was the first strike against the Japanese homeland since Pearl Harbor.
North American Aviation's design of a twin-engine medium bomber was approved by the Army Air Corps in September 1939, and the prototype made its maiden flight less than a year later on 19 August 1940. Christened Mitchell in honor of Billy Mitchell, the American champion of air power theory, the B-25 would become the most widely-produced American twin-engine combat aircraft of World War II.
Early models featured armament of five defensive machine guns and a 2,000 lb. bomb-load. Little was changed in the basic design of the B-25 until the introduction of the G model. First appearing in 1942, the B-25G was built for ground attack, being fitted with a devastating 75mm cannon in an armored nose and carrying a crew of four rather than the original five. The H model, which featured eight additional forward-firing machine guns to complement the cannon, went into service in February 1945 and proved highly effective in destroying Japanese shipping and strafing ground targets. The B-25J, constructed in greatest numbers, carried a crew of six and returned to its original role of bomber. For shorter-range missions, the J could carry up to 6,000 lbs. of bombs, three times the capability of early B-25s. The Navy and Marine Corps procured the Mitchell under the designation PBJ, deploying it in the Pacific as a patrol bomber.
The B-25 earned its place in history as the aircraft selected by Lt Col James H. Doolittle to bomb Tokyo in response to the Pearl Harbor attack. On 18 April 1942, sixteen B-25 Mitchells launched from the American aircraft carrier Hornet on a daring raid against mainland Japan. At the time, the Mitchell was the only American bomber that could take off from an aircraft carrier with the range to reach Japan. Japanese pickett ships spotted the Hornet task force 200 miles from their intended launch point forcing Doolittle and his Raiders to depart early. Knowing they may not have enough fuel to complete the mission, the Doolittle Raiders launched from the pitching deck bound for targets in Japan, then onward to China to refuel. The early departure meant the Raiders would not have enough fuel to make it into interior China as planned, forcing the crews to either bail out or ditch along the coast. Only one aircraft made a safe landing in Russia, but the crew and the airplane were interned by the Russians. Though damage inflicted as a result of the raid was minimal, American morale soared while the Japanese were forced to pull back some of their resources to protect the homeland. The change in Japanese tactics following the Doolittle Raid is believed to have led to the decisive American victory at the Battle of Midway less than two months later.
Nearly 11,000 Mitchells were built and served with many Allied nations in every major theater of operation. After the war, most B-25s were converted into trainers for the USAF or turned over to Air National Guard units. Others were sold as surplus and were converted into luxury executive transports, crop dusters, fire bombers and airborne photography platforms.
History of the LSFM B-25
The LSFM B-25 remained stateside during World War II and was converted into a trainer after the war for the USAF where it flew until the late 1950s. Acquired by the CIA, it flew covert missions during the Bay of Pigs invasion from Central America. Later, it would pass through several owners and was eventually restored in the late 1970s. LSFM founder Robert L. Waltrip purchased the B-25 in 1984 as the first of his collection that would serve as the basis for the Lone Star Flight Museum. Known as Special Delivery for many years, the LSFM repainted the airplane in 2007 in the colors of the Doolittle Raiders. It is the only flying B-25 painted in the colors of the Raiders and is the only civilian aircraft to feature the Doolittle Raider emblem. It is the official B-25 of the Doolittle Raider Association.

In today's climate of ever-changing health care coverage's, it can be nerve-wracking to have to select a new physician. Perhaps this is why Consumer Reports states that "choosing a doctor is one of the most important things you will do in your life." Whether the doctor you need is a primary care physician, orthopedic surgeon or other specialist, these helpful guidelines can help you find the right fit with a minimum of research.
It is awfully hard to find the right physician fit if you are not sure what you are looking for. So start by making a list. What did you like or dislike about doctors you have seen in the past? What are your health care needs? Use this list for guidance as you outline your criteria for a new doctor.
Gender. Some people do not care about a doctor's gender and other people do. If gender is a factor for you, be sure to note it down.
Age. Age can be a factor in everything from methodology used to bedside manner. If you have found you prefer an older or younger doctor, be sure to note down this preference.
Credentials. If you want to see a physician who has been trained in a certain specialization (for instance, if you need a certain type of orthopedic surgical procedure) you will want to check the physician's credentials before making your first appointment.
Insurance. Most new patients have some insurance criteria to meet in selecting a new doctor. If applicable, you will need to find a physician who will accept the insurance you have.
Location. You may find it more convenient to see a physician who is located near where you live or work.
Once you have your basic criteria in mind, today's online culture has made it increasingly easy to put out a request to your network for help. Now all you need to do to generate a referral to a new doctor is to send out an email or post a query on one of your social networks. If you have special requests, such as a female or male doctor or a certain type of specialization, posting those additional specifics can narrow down your search quickly.
Often seeing a new doctor can bring on some anxiety. This is normal. So be sure to note down all your questions in advance and bring them with you. If you tend to get nervous you might also want to bring a more objective friend or partner with you to your first appointment. It can also be helpful to be aware that, even though you are seeing the doctor for medical reasons, ultimately you also need to be comfortable with how the doctor interacts with you.
With these guidelines, you can feel more confident and capable as you begin the process of selecting a new doctor to attend to your wellness, medical and health needs.
About the Author: Carolyn Harvey moves frequently for her career. She uses these tips to select a new doctor whenever she moves to a new city.

These marinated tomatoes were on the menu at last weeks church potluck, made by Maria K. who is in charge of the church kitchen, and all of the ladies jotted down the recipe! These are scrumptious and are often served at Slavic weddings. We couldn't wait to make a batch of our own and boy oh boy they tasted good!
Store-bought firm Roma tomatoes work really well for this marinated tomatoes recipe or a variety of firm homegrown tomatoes. It makes an especially striking dish when you mix different colored tomatoes.
1. Boil a large pot of water. Rinse tomatoes and place them in a large pot or bowl. Pour boiling water over tomatoes, place a plate over the top to submerge them in water and let sit for 2-3 minutes. Drain tomatoes, reserving 1 liter of water and set water aside to cool. Use a small paring knife to remove skins. Quarter tomatoes and place into a deep bowl.
2. Use reserved 1 liter of warm (not hot) water and stir in: 28 oz ketchup, 2 Tbsp kosher salt, 2 Tbsp sugar, chopped dill, parsley, cilantro, and garlic.
3. Pour over tomatoes making sure tomatoes are completely covered with liquid. Jiggle the bowl to distribute sauce but avoid stirring so tomatoes stay firm. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Marinated tomatoes work well with store-bought firm roma tomatoes or a variety of firm homegrown tomatoes. You can even use a variety of different colored tomatoes. Prepping the tomatoes is faster and simpler than it seems and these keep really well in the refrigerator.

Tomatoes can stain in the fridge for up to four weeks. I hope you'll give them a try ?.
I am not a fan of cilantro….
I tried these tomatoes at a party and it was delicious! My husband however…. doesn't like any herbs! :0 So I was wondering if I drop the herbs and add only spring onion would the taste suffer greatly?
Hey Natasha, have you tried substiuting ketchup with tomato paste? I assume i wouldnt need much.
I swear, a person can never go wrong with your recipes!
This was so delicious! And I'm not even a big tomato fan! I made it for my husband (I like to try to get him to eat fresh veggies!) and he has been eating them every day all week.
He brought some to share with his parents, and they asked for the recipe!
Hey Natasha I keep signing up for your news letter but I never get a response back. Either in my email or junk.
You are welcome, I will hope you give it a try. This is tiny part of sharing from my side, comparing to what you are doing for all of us.


This is an URGENT query - I am trying to download report FBL3N from SAP > Excel.
I have selected the (wrong format in error) - "Excel (In MHTML format), and clicked on the "always use selected format".
I want CHANGE this to "Excel (In existing XXL Format), but the problem is I believe it has defaulted in. Is there any way I can REMOVE the "Always use selected format", thereby give me back the download options, where I can re-select the correct format to download the report.
Program SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN to maintain the entries.
Major change by SAP and no easier accessible documentation. Yikes, sometimes it does not pay to be on the lastest support packs.
I think applying the notes individually is possible but my recent experience has been that basis SP are a better way to go. It limits your application risk since you only need to apply the Basis and ABA stack SPs.
My bad experience was the note dependencies. I tried to implement a single note which begat a dozen other dependent notes which in turn had other dependencies. Too much to implement individually. I turned to a basis SP instead. We prefer to implement the Support Stack but we have found after 3 basis SPs applications that they are relatively painless.
URGENT - Would greatly appreciate some assitance in this matter - Please kindly respond to the above issue/question.
Formats/layouts are mostly user specific.
Try using another user ID and excute the same, you should be able to set another default specifically for this user.
Check/delete SU3 if any user parameter is holding the value.
Ask your admin or basis guy to help you out.

Eagle's Lightweight GT Is A Fully-Bespoke Modern-Day 380HP Jaguar E-Type
Tim Huber
First released in 1961, Jaguar's E-Type is undoubtedly one of the British marque's most iconic automotive designs of all time, and though it hasn't officially seen the light or production in four and a half decades, the UK's Eagle is now breathing new life into the legendary sports car with what the boutique outfit is calling the Eagle Lightweight GT.
An even more elite take on the original E-Type, the Lightweight GT is essentially a spare-no-expense, modern reinterpretation of the 1960s model, powered by a 4.7L aluminum inline-six that's paired with a magnesium five-speed gearbox and differential and is entirely built in-house by Eagle. Good for 380hp and 375ft-lbs of torque, the hand-built engines allow for sub-five second 0-60mph times and top speeds exceeding 170mph. Adorning its custom frame is hand-formed aluminum alloy bodywork that takes some 2,500 hours to create a single set of per example. Tipping the scales at 2,242lbs (dry), the Lightweight GT also gets magnesium wheels, independent wishbones with Öhlins adjustable dampers, and vented discs bit by AP Racing quad-piston calipers. For more information, or to commission your own Eagle Lightweight GT, you can visit the company's website linked below.

A year ago, 28 wide receivers were picked in the NFL Draft. If that's the case this year, Derek Moye may have to pursue his dreams of playing pro football as an undrafted free agent.
None of the draft services list Moye, a Rochester High School graduate, among the top 35 wideouts.
But Moye, who ended his Penn State career as one of the most productive pass catchers in Nittany Lions' history, hopes that at least one NFL team takes a chance on him.
"It would mean a lot to me to hear my name called (during the draft)," he said.
The knock against Moye is that he's not considered an gifted athlete with exceptional speed and strength. There are concerns about his ability to separate from physical NFL cornerbacks, especially in press coverage.
Yet, Moye was a three-year starter at Penn State and ranks third in the PSU record book in receiving yards (2, 395), fourth in touchdown catches (18) and fifth in career receptions (144). Those stats are even more impressive considering the problems Penn State had in recent years at quarterback.
"I feel like I'm a smart player (and) a big receiver who has the ability to go up and get the ball," he said.
Moye improved his 40-yard dash time last month at his Pro Day workout at Penn State from the 4.52 seconds he ran at the NFL Combine in February to 4.44.
Moye will spend the next few days with his brother, who lives in Morgantown. He's hoping that on Saturday when rounds four through seven of the draft are held that an team will select him.
"I'm not going to my hopes up too high and not get drafted," he said. "I'm going into this with an open mind. I just want an opportunity to get into a camp and show what I can do."

"… and in Antioch the disciples were for the first time called Christians" (Acts 11:26).
God and the Apostle Luke thought enough of the name and word "Christian" to make it a point to document that the name and word "Christian" was first given to the followers of Jesus in Antioch.
Antioch was notorious for its ability to produce nicknames.
They had one even for the emperor whom they once called "the Goat." Thus the name "Christian" was given to the followers of Jesus neither by themselves nor by the Jews, but by the Greek speaking pagans in Antioch.
It was a nickname, a by- word, given in derision and contempt. The Christians took this name given in mockery and turned it into one of the most revered names in history.
The name tells us something very important about the Christian: that there is a resemblance between Christ and the Christian. The Christian is first and foremost a CHRIST person.
A New Name For a New People The people in Antioch had many names in their resourceful language but they had no name to cover this type of character.
These followers of Jesus did things, said things, lived things hitherto unheard of in the history of the world. They lived purity — purity of a new order, purity of thought and feeling. They lived forgiveness — forgiveness of a new kind, forgiveness for friend and foe alike.
They lived love — love of a new order, love for those who least deserved it. They lived humility — a new kind of humility the world had not seen before except in Jesus! So they made a new name for these people in whom they saw the purity, the forgiveness, the love, and the humility of Jesus.
They called them CHRISTIANOI, Christ people! It began as a "nickname" in mocking terms but God & His people made it into a name for people of tremendous integrity and great courage!
God who likes to take the things the world calls foolish and ultimately exalt them to the highest level made "Christians" into the name of the people that will ultimately rule and reign with Him over His eternal Kingdom. Selah!
25 What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet loses or forfeits his very self?
Acts 11:26 (KJV)And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
Yet if [any man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
How Can I Overcome Temptation? | Source and full article: CBN.com.
Battling temptation is a daily walk. Even the most loyal followers of Christ can be tempted ( Heb. 12:1). That" why the Lord's prayer instructs us to ask God to "lead us not into temptation" ( Matt. 6:13).
1.Be honest with God. At the time of temptation, don't debate the issue. The longer we wrestle with tempting thoughts, the closer we get to committing the sin. Flee from the temptation as soon as you recognize it ( 2 Tim. 2:22).
2.Recognize your enemy. Understand that this is serious business! You are engaged in a battle for your very soul. There is an enemy, the devil, who "prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour" ( 1 Peter 5:8). This enemy will use any temptation to draw you away from God.
3.Resist through Jesus! Go to the Lord and receive mercy and grace in your time of need (Heb. 4:15-16). Remember, you are not alone in your struggle. Satan tries to discourage us through isolation, telling us our temptation is unique. This simply isn't true ( 1 Cor. 10:13).
4.Give Thanks. In the midst of the struggle, thank God for the opportunity to experience the victory through Him ( Rom. 5:1-5). Thank Him for providing a way of escape.

The Singles 86>98 es una compilación en dos discos de sencillos del grupo inglés de música electrónica, Depeche Mode, publicada en 1998.

Como su nombre indica contiene todos los sencillos del grupo desde 1986 hasta 1997, además de una canción de ese año.

Su creación obedeció a que desde 1985 no existía un compilado de canciones de Depeche Mode, aunque llama la atención que sea una colección de sencillos, no de éxitos. En complemento se republicó en ese año la recopilación The Singles 81>85.

Con motivo del material, Depeche Mode realizó la breve gira The Singles Tour durante 1998 con el baterista Christian Eigner y el teclista Peter Gordeno como músicos de apoyo. Fue la única ocasión en que el grupo realizó una gira con un disco recopilatorio.

Listado de canciones
La colección apareció en cuatro formatos, el estándar en doble disco compacto, en triple disco de vinilo, en doble minidisco de Sony y en casete de cinta magnética de audio. Posteriormente y en la actualidad se le encuentra en formato digital.

Edición en CD

Las primeras 100,000 copias de la edición en CD para USA, contenían un tercer disco promocional con remezclas. Las versiones estándar con dos y limitada con tres discos, incluían pegatinas en la parte frontal de la caja, detallando los contenidos de cada edición.

Edición en LP
Desde 1993 todos los discos de Depeche Mode se continuaron editando en Europa también en formato de disco de vinilo. En el caso de The Singles 86>98 la versión en LP resultó notablemente distinta pues presentó no en dos sino en tres discos que contienen las 21 canciones de la colección y cuyos lados están ordenados alfabéticamente del A al F, aunque numerados los temas del 1 al 21.
Disco 1

Disco 2

Disco 3

Edición en MC
La versión en cinta magnética de audio, el formato conocido como MC de MusiCasete, apareció en un solo casete, conteniendo los veintiún temas, los primeros doce en el lado A y los restantes nueve en el lado B. Esta fue sólo para el Reino Unido, aunque actualmente el formato ya no se encuentra disponible.

Edición en MD
The Singles 86>98 fue de los pocos materiales de DM disponibles en el poco popularizado minidisco digital creado por la casa Sony, en exclusiva para el Reino Unido como los otros discos del grupo que se editaron en este formato. Esta edición contiene los veintiún temas de la colección también en dos minidiscos, distribuidos del mismo modo, como la propia edición estándar en CD.

Esta edición actualmente ya no se encuentra disponible, como el propio formato.

Sencillo
Only When I Lose Myself

Es un tema producido por Tim Simenon que originalmente no se incluyó en el álbum Ultra.
Lados B
Adicionalmente, fuera de la compilación The Singles 86>98 aparecieron como lados B en el disco sencillo la canción "Surrender" y el instrumental "Headstar", ambos compuestos también por Martin Gore.

Créditos
Depeche Mode - Andrew Fletcher, Martin Gore y David Gahan; Alan Wilder fue miembro hasta 1995, por lo que ya no participó en los temas posteriores a esa fecha. Todas las canciones fueron compuestas por Martin Gore.

Los temas Stripped, A Question of Lust y A Question of Time aparecieron originalmente en el álbum Black Celebration de 1986. Fueron producidos por Depeche Mode, Daniel Miller y Gareth Jones.
Los temas Strangelove y Behind the Wheel aparecieron originalmente en el álbum Music for the Masses de 1987. Fueron producidos por Depeche Mode y David Bascombe
Los temas Never Let Me Down Again y Little 15 originalmente aparecieron también en el álbum Music for the Masses de 1987. Fueron producidos por Depeche Mode, David Bascombe y Daniel Miller.
Los temas Personal Jesus, Enjoy the Silence, Policy of Truth y World in My Eyes aparecieron originalmente en el álbum Violator de 1990; I Feel You, Walking in My Shoes, Condemnation e In Your Room aparecieron originalmente en el álbum Songs of Faith and Devotion de 1993. Fueron producidos por Depeche Mode y Flood.
Los temas Barrel of a Gun, It's No Good, Home y Useless aparecieron originalmente en el álbum Ultra de 1997. Fueron producidos por Tim Simenon.
La versión en concierto del tema Everything Counts apareció originalmente en el álbum 101 de 1989. Fue producida por Depeche Mode.

El tema Only When I Lose Myself, producido también por Simenon, es cantado por David Gahan y fue dado a conocer en esta colección.

The Videos 86>98
El disco The Singles 86>98 apareció también en VHS y DVD con el título de The Videos 86>98, conteniendo los videoclips de todas las canciones que componen la colección.

Para el año 2002 se relanzó en dos discos DVD escuetamente retitulado Videos 86>98 +.

The Remixes 86>98
Para promocionar la colección en Europa, Mute Records publicó como acompañamiento el CD con diez piezas The Remixes 86>98, con remezclas de temas de aquel período de la banda. Esta fue una edición puramente promocional, y no estuvo de venta general al público.

Cabe destacar que este disco adicionalmente se editó también en triple LP.

Las remezclas de «Strangelove» y de «Personal Jesus» habían sido incluidas también en la colección japonesa de rarezas X¹+X² de 1990. Posteriormente, algunas de éstas mezclas fueron también incluidas en la colección Remixes 81··04 de 2004.

Datos
El booklet del disco cita el dato incorrecto de que Little 15 se publicó sólo en Francia. En realidad se publicó en Europa, aunque no en América.
Tres años después de su publicación, en el año 2001, el disco y su contraparte The Singles 81>85 se reeditaron como The Singles 81>98.
Es la más importante colección de sencillos de Depeche Mode, porque abarca los temas de su más importante período, su cenit como banda de música, tanto en lo comercial como en lo artístico, esto es, cuando Alan Wilder era el encargado de arreglar las canciones. Por lo demás cumplió también funciones de álbum al embarcarse en una gira demostrando que Depeche Mode era más que sólo Wilder, lo cual en su momento palió el relativo escepticismo con que había sido recibido el Ultra, además, se inauguró así su nueva imagen en el escenario presentándose como quinteto.

La gira se realizó debido sobre todo a que con el álbum Ultra ello no se había hecho.

El material fue tan bien recibido que el único defecto visto en él fue precisamente la falta de los primeros éxitos en su carrera, por lo cual se reeditó la colección complementaria.

Lake County Cemeteries
What Historical Cemeteries Can I Visit from Clear Lake Campground?
Cemeteries are everywhere you go and they're often interesting and peaceful places to explore. They're full of history and often are home to birds and other wildlife, such as deer. Lake County cemeteries are rarely crowded so it's easy to find some solitude. Early settlers are buried in several of our cemeteries so they're a good place to discover some Lake County history.
Lower Lake Cemetery and Pioneer Cemetery
Herndon Cemetery, also known as Pioneer Cemetery was started in 1856 by Nathaniel Herndon for his family and friends. The Herndon family was part of the Copsey wagon train that arrived in Lower Lake from Missouri in 1854. Copsey family members were buried in Herndon Cemetery as well as members of the Hale and Grigsby families. George Patch, the last known traditional leader and shaman of the Koi Tribe (part of the Pomo Nation) was also buried here.
Herndon Cemetery later became a community cemetery and many early settlers were buried there. 29 of its burials were moved to the Lower Lake Cemetery in the early 1900's. These older tombstones can be found toward the back of Lower Lake Cemetery on the right side of the main road. Some of the burials still in Herndon Cemetery had only wooden markers or crosses that have since worn away and no formal records were kept so its not known how many burials still remain or the names of all the people who were buried there. 8 members of the original Herndon family are confirmed to be buried in Pioneer Cemetery, one of whom died in 1858 at 13 years of age, and 2 members of the Copsey family, including an infant girl named Alice. Although most of the tomb stones are gone, it's an interesting place to wander around.
Lower Lake Cemetery: 9040 Lake St, next to Lower Lake Elementary School
Pioneer Cemetery: 9022 Stagecoach Lane off Big Bear Road, 3 miles from Camp.
See Herndon Cemetery for a list of people known to be buried there.
Lake County Historical Society has a page about Herndon Cemetery restoration with a few photos.
Middletown Cemetery
In 1889, land for the cemetery was donated by William Good, a blacksmith. This new cemetery was owned by the Odd Fellows Lodge. Previous burials from the small cemetery at Fiege Ranch and Rabbit Hill were transferred there. 18 veterans of the Civil War and one from the Spanish American War are buried here.
Middletown Cemetery: 16357 Butts Canyon Road, Middletown, about 20 minutes from Camp
Middletown History Cemetery page
Kelseyville Cemetery and Pioneer Cemetery
Kelseyville Pioneer Cemetery, in use from 1861-1884, has about 100 graves of early pioneer families, although some of them are unmarked. Early settlers buried here include members of the Benson, Crowell, Gard, Kelsay, Kelsey, Nobles and Piner families. In 1884 the Odd Fellows Cemetery, now Kelseyville Cemetery, opened and some burials were relocated to it.
Kelseyville Cemetery: 3375 Bell Hill Road, Kelseyville, about 20 minutes from Camp
Kelseyville Pioneer Cemetery: 4830 Renfro Drive, Kelseyville (temporarily closed in summer, 2020)
List of names buried in Pioneer Cemetery
Hartley Cemetery
Named for Henry Hare Hartley, the cemetery in Lakeport opened around 1860 as the Masonic Cemetery. Henry Hare Hartley was an attorney who would have become the Grand Master of Masonic Lodges in California but he died of a heart attack at age 41 in 1868. He's buried in Sacramento but the cemetery was renamed in his memory.
Hartley Cemetery: 2552 Hill Road E, Lakeport, about half an hour from Camp
Upper Lake Cemetery
Although Upper Lake Cemetery was established in 1855, the oldest tombstone is dated 1849. Some older, unmarked burials may also be here. It's said that the Pomo Indians used to cremate their dead in this area prior to the arrival of white settlers. The oldest part of the cemetery is on the east side of Clover Valley Road.

Sec. 624b.
(1) A person less than 21 years of age shall not knowingly transport or possess alcoholic liquor in a motor vehicle as an operator or occupant unless the person is employed by a licensee under the Michigan liquor control code of 1998, 1998 PA 58, MCL 436.1101 to 436.2303, a common carrier designated by the liquor control commission under the Michigan liquor control code of 1998, 1998 PA 58, MCL 436.1101 to 436.2303, the liquor control commission, or an agent of the liquor control commission and is transporting or having the alcoholic liquor in a motor vehicle under the person's control during regular working hours and in the course of the person's employment. This section does not prevent a person less than 21 years of age from knowingly transporting alcoholic liquor in a motor vehicle if a person at least 21 years of age is present inside the motor vehicle.

As part of the sentence, the person may be ordered to perform community service and undergo substance abuse screening and assessment at his or her own expense as described in section 703(1) of the Michigan liquor control code of 1998, 1998 PA 58, MCL 436.1703.
(2) Within 30 days after the conviction for a violation of subsection (1) by the operator of a motor vehicle, which conviction has become final, the arresting law enforcement officer or the officer's superior may make a complaint before the court from which the warrant was issued. The complaint shall be under oath and shall describe the motor vehicle in which alcoholic liquor was possessed or transported by the operator, who is less than 21 years of age, in committing the violation and requesting that the motor vehicle be impounded as provided in this section.

The order shall be served by delivering a true copy to the owner not less than 3 full days before the date of hearing or, if the owner cannot be located, by sending a true copy by certified mail to the last known address of the owner. If the owner is a nonresident of the state, service may be made upon the secretary of state as provided in section 403.
(3) If the court determines upon the hearing of the order to show cause, from competent and relevant evidence, that at the time of the commission of the violation the motor vehicle was being driven by the person less than 21 years of age with the express or implied consent or knowledge of the owner in violation of subsection (1), and that the use of the motor vehicle is not needed by the owner in the direct pursuit of the owner's employment or the actual operation of the owner's business, the court may authorize the impounding of the vehicle for a period of not less than 15 days or more than 30 days. The court's order authorizing the impounding of the vehicle shall authorize a law enforcement officer to take possession without other process of the motor vehicle wherever located and to store the vehicle in a public or private garage at the expense and risk of the owner of the vehicle. The owner of the vehicle may appeal the order to the circuit court and the provisions governing the taking of appeals from judgments for damages apply to the appeal. This section does not prevent a bona fide lienholder from exercising rights under a lien.
(4) A person who knowingly transfers title to a motor vehicle for the purpose of avoiding this section is guilty of a misdemeanor.

The Case for God
By Karen Armstrong

Karen Armstrong has called on people around the world to collaborate on the writing of a "Charter for Compassion" centered on the Golden Rule; now she's working with leaders from the Abrahamic faiths — Islam, Christianity and Judaism — to help finalize and propagate it.
When I was 10, I used to stare up at the stars and try to imagine what infinity looked like. "What if our solar system is really just an atom in an even bigger solar system?"
The vast unknowability of the universe made me shiver. It was thrilling.
In her new book, The Case for God, Karen Armstrong argues that this very attempt to imagine the unimaginable and grasp the sacred cosmic order is like an attempt to know God. God, she writes, is "utterly transcendent. ... It is inaccurate to call God the Supreme Being because God is not a being at all."
It's heady stuff. Armstrong is a former nun turned ecumenical scholar. The Case for God, she writes, is intended to "bring something fresh to the table" amid the world's current religious contention.
Armstrong disdains fundamentalism and atheism, but she's not out to add to the shouting match. Her book is a call for a new practice of theology — one that embraces uncertainty and "truly speaks to all the complex needs of our time."
Surprisingly, she suspects we can achieve this by looking backward.
Until the modern era, Armstrong claims, religion was not something people thought, but something we did. It was a series of practices and rituals designed to help us "discover new capacities of mind and heart." And God was unknowable — undefinable, in fact.
It wasn't until the 16th century, she argues, that we began to see God as more of a personality. Science and religion were pitted against each other, and the Bible was read literally. These, she writes, have resulted in both extremism and atheism. Yet if we can learn from the past, perhaps we can "return to a theology that asserts less and is more open to silence." Perhaps we can better experience the ecstasy of God.
This is a tall order. But Armstrong is ambitious. The Case for God is an entire semester at college packed into a single book — a voluminous, dizzying intellectual history.
Beginning with the Paleolithic era, Armstrong documents the evolution of theology right up to today. From the Indian Aryans, Confucius and the Old Testament, she moves on to Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine.
It's a whirlwind tour of philosophy. Pit stops are made along the way to explain the authorship of the Torah, the Holy Trinity and the etymology of the word "faith." Then we're off again! Virtually every great prophet, poet and scientist makes an appearance: Thomas Aquinas, Spinoza, Muhammad, Copernicus, Darwin, Einstein — right up to Derrida.
It's an exhaustive but lucid work. Reading The Case for God, I felt smarter. How could I not? It is so much about so much.
Yet it's not without flaw. Theology, after all, hasn't been shaped by ideas alone; political and economic concerns have always influenced doctrine. Yet Armstrong never acknowledges this. She presents religious thought unfolding in a pristine, intellectual bubble — as a dance between mythos and rationality only. This is a sinful omission.
No matter. Given the subject, readers will probably see in Armstrong's book what they want to. To some, it will be a jeremiad against spiritual laziness. To others, blasphemy. To me, The Case for God is a stimulating, hopeful work. After I finished it, I felt inspired. I stopped, and I looked up at the stars again. And I wondered what could be.
Susan Jane Gilman is the author of the new memoir Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven.
Excerpt: 'The Case For God'
Knopf/Random House
Homo religiosus
When the guide switches off his flashlight in the underground caverns of Lascaux in the Dordogne, the effect is overwhelming. "The senses suddenly are wiped out," one visitor recalled, "the millennia drop away...You were never in darker darkness in your life. It was--I don't know, just a complete knockout. You don't know whether you are looking north, south, east, or west. All orientation is gone, and you are in a darkness that never saw the sun." Normal daylight consciousness extinguished, you feel a "timeless dissociation from every concern and requirement of the upper world that you have left behind." Before reaching the first of the caves decorated by our Palaeolithic ancestors in the Stone Age, seventeen thousand years ago, visitors have to stumble for some eighty feet down a sloping tunnel, sixty-five feet below ground level, penetrating ever more deeply into the bowels of the earth. Then the guide suddenly turns the beam of his flashlight onto the ceiling, and the painted animals seem to emerge from the depths of the rock. A strange beast with gravid belly and long pointed horns walks behind a line of wild cattle, horses, deer, and bulls that seem simultaneously in motion and at rest.
In all there are about six hundred frescoes and fifteen hundred engravings in the Lascaux labyrinth. There is a powerful bellowing black stag, a leaping cow, and a procession of horses moving in the opposite direction. At the entrance to another long passage known as the Nave, a frieze of elegant deer has been painted above a rocky ledge so that they appear to be swimming. We see these images far more clearly than the Palaeolithic artists did, since they had to work by the light of small flickering lamps, perched precariously on scaffolding that has left holes in the surface of the wall. They often painted new pictures over old images, even though there was ample space nearby. It seems that location was crucial and that, for reasons we cannot fathom, some places were deemed more suitable than others. The subject matter was also governed by rules that we can never hope to understand. The artists selected only a few of the species known to them, and there are no pictures of the reindeer on which they relied for food. Animals are consistently paired--oxen and bison with horses, bison with mammoths--in combinations that would not occur in real life. Lascaux is not unique. There are about three hundred decorated caves in this region of southern France and northern Spain. In some the artwork is more elementary, but in all these caverns the imagery and layout are basically the same. The earliest site, at Grosse Chauvet, dates from about 30,000 BCE, a time when Homo sapiens seems to have undergone an abrupt evolutionary change in this locality. There was a dramatic rise in population, which may have resulted in social tension. Some historians believe that the cave art records a "corpus of socially-constructed rituals...for conflict control...pictorially encoded for storage and transmission through generations." But the paintings also express an intensely aesthetic appreciation of the natural world. Here we have the earliest known evidence of an ideological system, which remained in place for some twenty thousand years, after which the caves fell into disuse in about 9000 BCE.
It is now generally agreed that these labyrinths were sacred places for the performance of some kind of ritual. Some historians have argued that their purpose was purely pragmatic, but their upkeep alone would have required an immense amount of unproductive labor. Some of these sites were so deep that it took hours to reach their innermost core. Visiting the caves was dangerous, exhausting, uneconomical, and time-consuming. The general consensus is that the caves were sanctuaries and that, as in any temple, their iconography reflected a vision that was radically different from that of the outside world. We do not build temples like this in the modern West. Our worldview is predominantly rational, and we think more easily in concepts than images. We find it hard enough to decode the symbolism of a medieval cathedral such as the one in Chartres, so these Palaeolithic shrines offer an almost insurmountable challenge.
But there are a few clues to aid our understanding. A remarkable picture, dated to about 12,000 BCE, in a cave at Lascaux known as the Crypt because it is even deeper than the other caverns, depicts a large bison that has been eviscerated by a spear thrust through its hind-quarters. Lying in front of the wounded beast is a man, drawn in a far more rudimentary style than the animals, with arms outstretched, phallus erect, and wearing what seems to be a bird mask; his staff, which lies on the ground nearby, is also topped by a bird's head. This seems to be an illustration of a well-known legend and could have been the founding myth of the sanctuary. The same scene appears on an engraved reindeer horn at nearby Villars and on a sculpted block in a cliff shelter at Roc de Sers near Limoges, which is five thousand years older than the Lascaux painting. Fifty-five similar images in the other caves and three more Palaeolithic rock drawings in Africa have been found, all showing men confronting animals in a state of trance with upraised arms. They are probably shamans.
We know that shamanism developed in Africa and Europe during the Palaeolithic period and that it spread to Siberia and thence to America and Australia, where the shaman is still the chief religious practitioner among the indigenous hunting peoples. Even though they have inevitably been influenced by neighboring civilizations, many of the original structures of these societies, which were arrested at a stage similar to that of the Palaeolithic, remained intact until the late nineteenth century. Today there is a remarkable continuity in the descriptions of the shaman's ecstatic flight all the way from Siberia, through the Americas to Tierra del Fuego: he swoons during a public seance and believes that he flies through the air to consult the gods about the location of game. In these traditional societies, hunters do not feel that the species are distinct or permanent categories: men can become animals and animals human. Shamans have bird and animal guardians and can converse with the beasts that are revered as messengers of higher powers. The shaman's vision gives meaning to the hunting and killing of animals on which these societies depend.
The hunters feel profoundly uneasy about slaughtering the beasts, who are their friends and patrons, and to assuage this anxiety, they surround the hunt with taboos and prohibitions. They say that long ago the animals made a covenant with humankind and now a god known as the Animal Master regularly sends flocks from the lower world to be killed on the hunting plains, because the hunters promised to perform the rites that will give them posthumous life. Hunters often abstain from sex before an expedition, hunt in a state of ritual purity, and feel a deep empathy with their prey. In the Kalahari Desert, where wood is scarce, the Bushmen have to rely on light weapons that can only graze the skin, so they anoint their arrows with a lethal poison that kills the animal very slowly. A tribesman has to remain with his victim, crying when it cries and participating symbolically in its death throes. Other tribes identify with their prey by donning animal costumes. After stripping the meat from the bones, some reconstruct their kill by laying out its skeleton and pelt; others bury these inedible remains, symbolically restoring the beast to the netherworld from which it came.
The hunters of the Palaeolithic age may have had a similar worldview. Some of the myths and rites they devised appear to have survived in the traditions of later, literate cultures. Animal sacrifice, for example, the central rite of nearly every religious system in antiquity, preserved prehistoric hunting ceremonies and continued to honor a beast that gave its life for the sake of humankind. One of the functions of ritual is to evoke an anxiety in such a way that the community is forced to confront and control it. From the very beginning, it seems, religious life was rooted in acknowledgment of the tragic fact that life depends upon the destruction of other creatures.
The Palaeolithic caves may have been the scene of similar rites. Some of the paintings include dancing men dressed as animals. The Bushmen say that their own rock paintings depict "the world behind this one that we see with our eyes," which the shamans visit during their mystical flights. They smear the walls of the caves with the blood, excrement, and fat of their kill in order to restore it, symbolically, to the earth; animal blood and fat were ingredients of the Palaeolithic paints, and the act of painting itself could have been a ritual of restoration. The images may depict the eternal, archetypal animals that take temporary physical form in the upper world. All ancient religion was based on what has been called the perennial philosophy, because it was present in some form in so many premodern cultures. It sees every single person, object, or experience as a replica of a reality in a sacred world that is more effective and enduring than our own. When an Australian Aborigine hunts his prey, he feels wholly at one with the First Hunter, caught up in a richer and more potent reality that makes him feel fully alive and complete. Maybe the hunters of Lascaux reenacted the archetypal hunt in the caves amid these paintings of the eternal hunting ground before they left their tribe to embark on the perilous quest for food.
We can, of course, only speculate. Some scholars believe that these caverns were likely to have been used for the initiation ceremonies that marked the adolescent boy's rite of passage from childhood to maturity. This type of initiation was crucial in ancient religion and is still practiced in traditional societies today. When they reach puberty, boys are taken from their mothers and put through frightening ordeals that transform them into men. The tribe cannot afford the luxury of allowing an adolescent to "find himself" Western-style; he has to relinquish the dependency of infancy and assume the burdens of adulthood overnight. To this end, boys are incarcerated in tombs, buried in the earth, informed that they are about to be eaten by a monster, flogged, circumcised, and tattooed. If the initiation is properly conducted, a youth will be forced to reach for inner resources that he did not know he possessed. Psychologists tell us that the terror of such an experience causes a regressive disorganization of the personality that, if skillfully handled, can lead to a constructive reorganization of the young man's powers. He has faced death, come out the other side, and is now psychologically prepared to risk his life for his people.
But the purpose of the ritual is not simply to turn him into an efficient killing machine; rather, it is to train him to kill in the sacred manner. A boy is usually introduced to the more esoteric mythology of his tribe during his initiation. He first hears about the Animal Master, the covenant, the magnanimity of the beasts, and the rituals that will restore their lives while they are undergoing these traumatic rites. In these extraordinary circumstances, separated from everything familiar, he is pushed into a new state of consciousness that enables him to appreciate the profound bond that links hunter and prey in their common struggle for survival. This is not the kind of knowledge we acquire by purely logical deliberations, but is akin to the understanding derived from art. A poem, a play, or, indeed, a great painting has the power to change our perception in ways that we may not be able to explain logically but that seem incontestably true. We find that things that appear distinct to the rational eye are in some way profoundly connected or that a perfectly commonplace object--a chair, a sunflower, or a pair of boots--has numinous significance. Art involves our emotions, but if it is to be more than a superficial epiphany, this new insight must go deeper than feelings that are, by their very nature, ephemeral.
If the historians are right about the function of the Lascaux caves, religion and art were inseparable from the very beginning. Like art, religion is an attempt to construct meaning in the face of the relentless pain and injustice of life. As meaning-seeking creatures, men and women fall very easily into despair. They have created religions and works of art to help them find value in their lives, despite all the dispiriting evidence to the contrary. The initiation experience also shows that a myth, like that of the Animal Master, derives much of its meaning from the ritualized context in which it is imparted. It may not be empirically true, it may defy the laws of logic, but a good myth will tell us something valuable about the human predicament. Like any work of art, a myth will make no sense unless we open ourselves to it wholeheartedly and allow it to change us. If we hold ourselves aloof, it will remain opaque, incomprehensible, and even ridiculous.
Religion is hard work. Its insights are not self-evident and have to be cultivated in the same way an appreciation of art, music, or poetry must be developed. The intense effort required is especially evident in the underground labyrinth of Trois Freres at Ariege in the Pyrenees. Doctor Herbert Kuhn, who visited the site in 1926, twelve years after its discovery, described the frightening experience of crawling through the tunnel--scarcely a foot high in some places--that leads to the heart of this magnificent Palaeolithic sanctuary. "I felt as though I were creeping through a coffin," he recalled. "My heart is pounding and it is difficult to breathe. It is terrible to have the roof so close to one's head." He could hear the other members of his party groaning as they struggled through the darkness, and when they finally arrived in the vast underground hall, it felt "like a redemption." They found themselves gazing at a wall covered in spectacular engravings: mammoths, bison, wild horses, wolverines, and musk oxen; darts flying everywhere; blood spurting from the mouths of the bears; and a human figure clad in animal skin playing a flute. Dominating the scene was a large painted figure, half man, half beast, who fixed his huge, penetrating eyes on the visitors. Was this the Animal Master? Or did this hybrid creature symbolize the underlying unity of animal and human, natural and divine?

Please provide me those questions.
I enrolled for this course yesterday and today, suddenly all my classes have closed already. Could you please enable them or in a way that I can access the questions after each chapter with answers. That way I can make sure whether I understand the content thoroughly. So, It would be greatly appreciated, if you could do that!!


Hi. I am struggling to conceive going on 3 years now. I have used over the counter ovulation kits and time things right but still nothing. My insurance won't cover infertility so we have to pay out of pocket and I would like to know where to start? What can a basic exam for me tell? Anything?
I have 2 children from a previous relationship that I conceived very easily. We have one together that I can pinpoint the day I conceived but it took a year.
I would naturally assume it is my husband but I don't know if I can be ruled out either. I have gained weight and also have 2 younger sisters diagnosed with POS.
Husband is diabetic and has muscular dystrophy (carnitine deficiency). The MD issue doesn't affect him and when I check his bloodwork, it seems his levels are good but its hard to know as I don't know much about it.
Where should I start? Would a sperm analysis help much?
i would start with a visit to my regular gyn. they can assist you in finding out what to do next, they can refer you to specialist in your area. they know better than us who shoud should see in your area.
What all would a pap show? Wouldn't say much I'd imagine or will it?
A pap just looks for irregular cells on your cervix. It won't tell you anything about why you aren't getting pregnant.
I would track my cycles and ovulation and I would send DH for a SA. That is a good start.

A powerful alternative to surgery this smoothing treatment work by heating the skin tissue to contract collagen fibres and in turn increases the production of new collagen and elastin fibres to form creating a smoother, healthier and younger looking skin. Irons out fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Excellent for the sagging jowls, eye area, forehead and neck.
Electro mesotherapy is a non invasive method for delivering specialist ingredients into the skin without the need for needles.
Electro mesotherapy works by applying special electrical pulses to the skin forming micro-channels (micropores) through the cell membrane. These temporary channels allow for the passage of micro molecules into the cell, the 'openings' only last for a short time encapsulating the hydration and product actives within the cell, allowing us to nourish and feed deeper epidermal cells with vital nutrients.
Light therapy utilizes multiple wavelengths of light energy that are delivered onto the treated areas of the face or body.
These wavelengths are able to reach underlying skin tissue, Every colour of light gives off a different frequency, each have differing effects on physical and psychological functions dependent on the depth of penetration of light within the skin. The light energy is absorbed within the skin which triggers various different bio-chemical mechanisms dependent on the colour of light used.
Can be combined with other 3D treatments such as dermabrasion, radio frequency and electro mesotherapy.
Using the same technology as 3D-cryo freeze, this treatment targets specifically the fat cells. By lowering the temperature to -6 degrees it pinpoints the content of the fat cells, causing 20%-40% of the fat cells in that area to die. No other structures are affected by this process. The remaining content of the fat cells is then disposed of naturally through the body's lymphatic system.


I'll admit it — I have this obsession with babies dressed in grandpa sweaters. So when I found out I was expecting a little boy, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to knit him his own little cardigan, complete with shawl collar and leather buttons.
I have always have wanted to work with the Spud and Chloe Sweater, as it is super soft AND washable! The fiber blend to me is the best of both worlds — the soft merino gives shape and warmth, while the cotton keeps it soft and light enough to put on a precious tiny human.
This yarn blooms quite a bit when blocking, so be sure to check your gauge and block your swatch!
The Baby Sophisticate pattern by Linden Down is very popular on Ravelry (being made over 9,000 times!) and is FREE! The pattern comes in two sizes, 0-3 months and 6-12 months. I made the 6-12 months size so there would be room to grow into it. I used 2 skeins, with plenty of yarn left over to make a matching hat and socks. The designer also has a paid version of the pattern for sale on Ravelry, called Baby& Child Sophisticate, that includes more sizes, from baby up to child size 10.
This is an easy enough pattern to make as a first sweater project. It is worked from the top down, back and forth in rows. The shawl collar uses easy short row shaping. Stitches are picked up to add the button band and collar together.
The pattern has you sewing up the hole at the armpit. Instead, I cast on 4 stitches to cover the gap after splitting for the sleeves. I picked up 2 additional stitches when starting the sleeve, and decreased down to the original sleeve stitch count during the first few rounds of the sleeve.
Using a provisional cast on rather than picking up stitches along the cast on edge for a less rigid seam.
I used magic loop on the sleeves.
Check your gauge on the sleeves, as most people knit more tightly in the round than back and forth. I went up one needle size to work the sleeve.
Mark each wrap as you work the wrap and turns on each row to make it easier to pick them up on future rows.

Q: Managing Git Users and Passwords I've been using Git to keep a repository of a project on a separate server.  Currently to push things to the repository after a commit I do
git push

and then I am asked for the password for the account I used to setup the git repository on the remote server.  Since it's been awhile since I setup the repository, I'm not sure how to either remove that password (bad idea maybe) or change/add user accounts for the git repository.  I'm sure it's something simple but I'm having a hard time googling for it. Is there some argument I'm missing for the push command?
Thanks.

A: There's likely some duplicates here on SO, but I didn't see them at first search, so here's your quick answer.
You probably want to use SSH public/private keypair authentication. In general, this means running ssh-keygen on your local computer (if you haven't before), and then using ssh-copy-id user@host to copy your public key to the remote. (If you don't have ssh-copy-id, you can just add your public key to .ssh/authorized_keys on the remote; that's all it does.) Be sure to give the public key to the appropriate user (the one with permissions for the git repo).
If you'd like to be more secure, you can give your keypair a passphrase and use something like ssh-agent or keychain to remember it for a session. See Configuring Git over SSH for more information on that.
If you're going to be doing a lot of this, you might want to look into gitolite, which automates a lot of this git admin type stuff. If you're going to keep doing it manually, and give others the ability to use that repo, you might want to make the repo user's shell git-shell, which is essentially a no-login shell which is only able to run the necessary git commands.
