Q: Query MongoDB search only in specific hours i have a question, i want to search by specific hours of the day,
Lets start:
My data schema sees like this:
{
 "symbol": "Orange",
 "timestamp": ISODate("2016-05-01T20:00:00.000Z"),
 "price": 10
}

I have a lot of entries, and the value of price change minute by minute.
If i want to search, let's say, all days when the hours of the day are: 9 or 15, so the result must return all the entries 9 to 9:59 and 15 to 15:59
I try to do something like:
 { $match: { timestamp: { $hour: { $in: [array_hours] } } }

But obviously, don't work.
Any ideas?

A: I think you can use $hour, $day ... to break down the date in aggregation.
For example:
my data:
db.orders.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5760bf21b05d6825e05fa23d"), "item" : "test1",
          "create_at" : ISODate("2016-04-30T11:00:00Z") }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5760bf30b05d6825e05fa23e"), "item" : "test2",
          "create_at" : ISODate("2016-04-30T12:00:00Z") }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5760bf37b05d6825e05fa23f"), "item" : "test3",
          "create_at" : ISODate("2016-04-30T13:00:00Z") }

my query:
db.orders.aggregate([{$project:{hour:{$hour:"$create_at"}}},
                 {$match:{hour:{"$in":[11,12]}}}])
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5760bf21b05d6825e05fa23d"), "hour" : 11 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5760bf30b05d6825e05fa23e"), "hour" : 12 }

Here is the doc

A: please see mongo shell query below as it utilises power of  aggregation framework with simple per hour analitics:
this will produce following output:
{
    "_id" : {
        "year" : 2016,
        "month" : 5,
        "day" : 1,
        "hour" : 20
    },

    "max" : 11.0,
    "firstEntryValue" : 10.0,

        },
        {

Q: Find the derivative of the complex function $f(z)=f(x+iy)$ Can someone please check my math?
Forgive the nonstandard notation
$$f(z)=f(x+iy)=u(x,y)+iv(x,y)=f_x(x,y)+i f_y(x,y)$$
From a website I got
$${df \over dz} = {\partial f_x \over \partial x} + i {\partial f_y \over \partial x} = -i{\partial f_x \over \partial y} + {\partial f_y \over \partial y}$$
Cauchy–Riemann conditions are
$$\frac{\partial f_x}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial f_y}{\partial y}\ ,\ \frac{\partial f_x}{\partial y}=-\frac{\partial f_y}{\partial x}$$
Therefore
$${df \over dz} = {\partial f_x \over \partial x} - i {\partial f_x \over \partial y} = i{\partial f_y \over \partial x} + {\partial f_y \over \partial y}$$
So the derivative of a complex function f is a complex number whose real part gives the rate of change of $f_x$ in one direction and the imaginary part gives the rate of change of $f_x$ in the direction perpendicular to the first.
The rate of change of $f_y$ is the same as $f_x$ but with the real and imaginary parts reversed and there is a change of sign too.

Q: setHours is not a function when converting time from string I am trying to compare a time in string format to the current time. I've tried setting up two Date objects and calling .Now() on both of them, then on one of them adjusting the time to the time that is in string format by splitting it and parsing both the hours and minutes to integers, but I get the following error:

setHours is not a function

The 'cutoff' value I'm using is '15:00' and when following in the debugger I can see this splits in to split[0] = 15 and split[1] = 00 (this is before they are parsed into integers.
 var cutoff = data.CutOff;
 var split = cutoff.split(":");
 var today = Date.now();
 var hours = parseInt(split[0]);
 var min = parseInt(split[1]);
 today.setHours(hours, min);
 if (Date.now() < today) {
     // Do Something
 }

A: You want to do new Date() as opposed to Date.now()
new Date creates a Date instance which allows you to access the Date methods.
Date.now() method returns the number of milliseconds elapsed since 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC.

Q: random forest and classification using tidymodels problem with outcome variable I am working on a very basic version of simulating a random forest model using tidymodels and ranger.  I am just trying to make it run.  I will deal with the validity of the model later.  When I run the model, I get the following error:
"unique notes:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Error in check_outcome():
! For a classification model, the outcome should be a factor."
I am at a loss because the simulated data, clearly, has the outcome as a factor.  What am I missing? Is this a situation, where the vfolds is selecting portions of the outcome that does not have the complete factor?  How would I check this?
Here is the code I am using:
library(tidyverse)
library(tidymodels)
library(themis)
library(dplyr)
library(vip)
library(forcats)

set.seed(987)
n = 1500

#simulated data
v1 = sample(c(0,1), size = n, replace = TRUE)
v2 = round(runif(n, 18, 80))
v3 = sample(c(0,1), size = n, replace = TRUE)
v4 = sample(c(0,1), size = n, replace = TRUE)
v5 = sample(c(0,1), size = n, replace = TRUE)
v6 = rbinom(n = n, size = 1, prob = .50)

xb = -9 + 3.5*v1 + 0.2*v2 + 0*v3 + 0*v4 +0*v5 + 0*v6
p = 1/(1 + exp(-xb))

y1 = rbinom(n = n, size = 1, prob = p)

y1 =
  dplyr::recode_factor(y1, `1` = "yes", `2` =  "no")

dat_set = as.data.frame(cbind(v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6, y1))

dat_set |>
  count(y1)

class(y1)

#splitting into training and testing data
set.seed(123)
rf_split = initial_split(dat_set, strata = y1)
rf_train = training(rf_split)
rf_test = testing(rf_split)

#developing the model
set.seed(234)
rf_folds = vfold_cv(rf_train, strata = y1)

ranger_recipe =
  recipe(formula = y1 ~ ., data = rf_train)

ranger_spec =
  rand_forest(mtry = tune(), min_n = tune(), trees = 1000)  |>
  set_mode("classification")  |>
  set_engine("ranger", importance = "impurity")

ranger_workflow =
  workflow() |>
  add_recipe(ranger_recipe)  |>
  add_model(ranger_spec)

set.seed(93186)
ranger_tune =
  tune_grid(ranger_workflow,
            resamples = rf_folds,
            control = control_resamples(save_pred = TRUE))

I am, relatively, new to R and tidymodels.  Please, point out my mistakes and I am open to all suggestions.

A: The problem is that when you use cbind it will convert to a matrix with only one class. This means that your y1 will still be a numeric variable. You check it with class but this is the y1 still before cbind, so you should convert it back to a factor like this:
library(tidyverse)
library(tidymodels)
library(themis)
library(dplyr)
library(vip)
library(forcats)

set.seed(987)
n = 1500

#simulated data
v1 = sample(c(0,1), size = n, replace = TRUE)
v2 = round(runif(n, 18, 80))
v3 = sample(c(0,1), size = n, replace = TRUE)
v4 = sample(c(0,1), size = n, replace = TRUE)
v5 = sample(c(0,1), size = n, replace = TRUE)
v6 = rbinom(n = n, size = 1, prob = .50)

xb = -9 + 3.5*v1 + 0.2*v2 + 0*v3 + 0*v4 +0*v5 + 0*v6
p = 1/(1 + exp(-xb))

y1 = rbinom(n = n, size = 1, prob = p)

y1 =
  dplyr::recode_factor(y1, `1` = "yes", `2` =  "no")
#> Warning: Unreplaced values treated as NA as `.x` is not compatible.
#> Please specify replacements exhaustively or supply `.default`.

dat_set = as.data.frame(cbind(v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6, y1))

# check type
str(dat_set)
#> 'data.frame':    1500 obs. of  7 variables:

For 50Hertz, cost-effectiveness is a prime consideration during grid-extension projects. This means that, as a rule, the most economical construction is planned, which benefits, not least, the electricity consumers.
As a consequence, 50Hertz aims for the "racing line" as shortest route in grid-extension projects. It is to be deviated from only to protect significant goods such as people and nature. Cost-effectiveness is in the interest of all electricity consumers. The German ordinance regulating electricity grid access prices (Stromnetzentgeltverordnung or StromNEV) provides for the costs generated as a result of grid maintenance and extensions to be passed on to consumers in the form of use-of-system charges. For this reason, the construction of overhead lines is to be preferred to underground cabling. Laying buried cables increases construction costs by a factor between 4 and 10. Laying cable in tunnels would raise costs by a factor between 30 and 40.
The Energy Industry Act (EnWG) constitutes an essential basis for grid extension. Its goal is to guarantee the "safest, most economical, consumer-friendly, efficient and environmentally friendly provision of the general public with electricity and gas". Accordingly, transmission system operators are obligated to guarantee non-discriminatory access to their grid for everyone. With the amendment to the EnWG passed in the summer of 2005, Bundesnetzagentur (BNetzA) as the regulatory authority for the "grids" commenced its work.


HYC owns several boats which are available for members to use at no charge. All you need to do is sign up for the club boat program and commit to two weekends a year maintaining the boats. We also require that you take a simple written test and demonstrate on the water that you can handle the boat safely.
The J/24 is the world's most popular keelboat, with over 5000 made. While its main claim to fame is as a racing boat, it also makes a great boat for just kicking around the bay on a lazy afternoon. It even sleeps 4, if you're all very friendly. Small and simple enough for two people to sail, it can take 5 or 6. With the genoa up, it moves nicely in gentle breezes that leave other boats parked. With the smaller jib, two people can manage in 20 kts of wind. It's also easy to single-hand with just the main.
HYC now owns two J/24's, which we make available to members of HYC at the Intermediate or Active Member level. Are there other places in New York City where you can sail a J/24? Yes there are, but a quick price comparison doesn't leave any doubt that this is the best deal in town. View calendar.
The JY15 was designed by Rod Johnstone (of the J Boats family and designer of the J/24) in 1989. This is the sportier of our two daysailers, which means it favors a more aggressive style of sailing. With 135 sq ft of sail area, it will sail faster than the Capri, and requires the crew to sit outboard on the gunwales. The crew hooks their feet under hiking straps, allowing them to lean out to balance the boat and keep it flat.
The JY15 is strictly a two-person boat, accommodating two adults or an adult and an older child. The boat weighs only 275 lbs, so it's easy to move around by hand on a small wheeled trailer. View calendar.
The Capri is a more sedate type daysailer, with full-length inboard seats in the cockpit. At 340 lbs, and a little less sail area (114 sq ft), it's more stable, and thus easier to sail than the JY15 for those who are less athletic. At the same time, it's still nimble enough to respond quickly and move in the lightest of breezes.
Like the JY15, the Capri is also equipped with hiking straps to allow the crew to move their weight outboard. Unlike the JY15, it will easily accommodate three adults or two adults and two children. It would be the daysailer of choice for a family. View calander.
The Howmar Hauler is a sailing dinghy. With a 43 inch beam and slightly over 8 feet of length it's typical of the small tenders cruisers use to scoot around anchorages after a day of sailing. It has an easy to rig and easy to handle lateen sail, similar to what's used on other small "bathing suit" boats. The Hauler is a good boat for a novice to practice sailing skills or an experienced sailor to while away a day "messing about" Eastchester Bay. View calendar.

Working with Michael Chamberlain and his book Heart of Stone taught me that the artist or author's original idea is the one that motivates them most and is the one with the greatest longevity. We had a frank dialogue about aspects of the book, and potential additions and edits. But overall, Michael was determined that the story should be told from his direct experience.
Inspired by the opportunity to hear your own work read by professional actors, this project is now in its second year, with new amazing actors and new stories being told. The landscape of women's stories is always changing and yet we face the same issues: domestic violence, alienation, racism, misogyny, friendship, jealousy, and also beauty, love and motherhood.
Working alongside some of Australia's leading artists and watching the impact they have on young emerging students is uplifting every day. The workplace is understanding, patient, respectful and also so hilarious at times – a truly inspiring group of people to work with.

Crime and Punishment: "I am the Murderer!"
From the cover of a recent Russian edition.
Today I shall present and comment briefly upon two scenes from Dostoevsky's enduring masterpiece Crime and Punishment.
I am fascinated by a trio of characters (one of whom has only a minor role in the story) and how the drama of guilt, suffering, justice, and compassion plays out between them.
Personal guilt is a deep focus of the novel, but a peculiar and extreme character—Nikolay—enters in as one of the figures who represents (here in an exaggerated and unorthodox manner that is rich in poetic shock value) the sense of the universality of human sinfulness and the redeeming value of suffering. Other figures in the novel (e.g. Sonya) are more important for this theme, but Nikolay's short role has a crucial place in the story.
The scenario that connects these characters is difficult to sketch out for those who don't already know the book. Really, if anyone hasn't read this book yet, they should read it. Those who have read it should read it again.
Briefly, the police detective Porfiry Petrovitch is conducting a murder investigation which leads him into a battle of wits with the grim, idealistic proto-Nietzschean Übermensch-wannabe university student Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov.
Porfiry has a scheme to try to prompt Raskolnikov into some kind of "slip" that would reveal his involvement in the crime, and he is about to spring it when one of the house painters who was also at the murder scene, Nikolay, bursts into the room....
...............................................................................................................................
Nikolay suddenly knelt down.
"What's the matter?" cried Porfiry, surprised.
"I am guilty! Mine is the sin! I am the murderer," Nikolay articulated suddenly, rather breathless, but speaking fairly loudly.
For ten seconds there was silence as though all had been struck dumb; even the warder stepped back, mechanically retreated to the door, and stood immovable.
"What is it?" cried Porfiry Petrovitch, recovering from his momentary stupefaction.
"I… am the murderer," repeated Nikolay, after a brief pause.
"What… you… what… whom did you kill?" Porfiry Petrovitch was obviously bewildered.
Nikolay again was silent for a moment.
"Alyona Ivanovna and her sister Lizaveta Ivanovna, I… killed… with an axe. Darkness came over me," he added suddenly, and was again silent.
..................................................................................................................
Some time later on, Porfiry Petrovitch meets Raskolnikov for an "open conversation" in which he discloses his own conviction about what really happened that night, about why Nikolay was taking the blame for something he did not do, and about who actually killed the two old women with an axe and what his real motivations were. Porfiry has no proof for his explanation. But he believes that the real murderer still has a conscience....
Porfiry is speaking: "Do you know, Rodion Romanovitch, the force of the word 'suffering' among some of these people! It's not a question of suffering for someone's benefit, but simply, 'one must suffer.' If they suffer at the hands of the authorities, so much the better.
"In my time there was a very meek and mild prisoner who spent a whole year in prison always reading his Bible on the stove at night and he read himself crazy, and so crazy, do you know, that one day, apropos of nothing, he seized a brick and flung it at the governor; though he had done him no harm. And the way he threw it too: aimed it a yard on one side on purpose, for fear of hurting him. Well, we know what happens to a prisoner who assaults an officer with a weapon. So 'he took his suffering.'
"So I suspect now that Nikolay wants to take his suffering or something of the sort. I know it for certain from facts, indeed. Only he doesn't know that I know. What, you don't admit that there are such fantastic people among the peasants? Lots of them....
[Porfiry Petrovitch goes on to articulate all the holes and contradictions in Nikolay's strange fabricated 'confession,' showing clearly that the house painter couldn't have been the murderer. Rather, Nikolay was a religious enthusiast who wanted to 'take his suffering.']
"No, Rodion Romanovitch, Nikolay doesn't come in! This is a fantastic, gloomy business, a modern case, an incident of today when the heart of man is troubled, when the phrase is quoted that blood 'renews,' when comfort is preached as the aim of life. Here we have bookish dreams, a heart unhinged by theories.
"Here we see resolution in the first stage, but resolution of a special kind: he resolved to do it like jumping over a precipice or from a bell tower and his legs shook as he went to the crime. He forgot to shut the door after him, and murdered two people for a theory. He committed the murder and couldn't take the money, and what he did manage to snatch up he hid under a stone.
"It wasn't enough for him to suffer agony behind the door while they battered at the door and rung the bell, no, he had to go to the empty lodging, half delirious, to recall the bell-ringing, he wanted to feel the cold shiver over again…. Well, that we grant, was through illness, but consider this: he is a murderer, but looks upon himself as an honest man, despises others, poses as injured innocence. No, that's not the work of a Nikolay, my dear Rodion Romanovitch!"
All that had been said before had sounded so like a recantation that these words were too great a shock. Raskolnikov shuddered as though he had been stabbed.
"Then… who then… is the murderer?" he asked in a breathless voice, unable to restrain himself.
Porfiry Petrovitch sank back in his chair, as though he were amazed at the question.
"Who is the murderer?" he repeated, as though unable to believe his ears. "Why, you, Rodion Romanovitch! You are the murderer," he added, almost in a whisper, in a voice of genuine conviction.
Raskolnikov leapt from the sofa, stood up for a few seconds and sat down again without uttering a word. His face twitched convulsively.
"Your lip is twitching just as it did before," Porfiry Petrovitch observed almost sympathetically. "You've been misunderstanding me, I think, Rodion Romanovitch," he added after a brief pause, "that's why you are so surprised. I came on purpose to tell you everything and deal openly with you."
"It was not I murdered her," Raskolnikov whispered like a frightened child caught in the act.
"No, it was you, you Rodion Romanovitch, and no one else," Porfiry whispered sternly, with conviction.
I have read Crime and Punishment many times (more than I can count). The first time I read it was my Senior year of High School. I was 18 years old and going through my own crisis of growing up and faith and pride and (I now realize) mental illness. It left me with a vivid impression, one that seems exaggerated and strange and extreme, certainly, but which was not entirely lacking in truth, at least in the sense that poetry can communicate something of the great and awful mystery of things.
All I can say is that when I finished the book, I said to myself, "I am the murderer!"
I could not escape the powerful impression that I had just looked into a mirror and had seen my own sins, my own guilt, my own inescapable need for "all of it" to come out into the open, and for me to embark upon a path of humility, conversion, and penance.
"I am guilty! Mine is the sin! I am the murderer!"
But along with this dreadful impression, there was something else that struck me, something that was more powerful even though it felt more remote at the time: the possibility of forgiveness. Hope.
For I knew that I would not be making this journey alone.

As a designated driver, what is your ultimate goal? To get all your friends home safely and make sure the experience goes smoothly for everyone. Keep that in mind through the night so you're motivated to follow through on your promises.
Get the Keys: Make sure you have the keys before you head out and throughout the entire evening. This could save you from having to track them down and get them later.
No Cheating: Sure you said you wouldn't drink anything – but what about tasting a few drinks? Don't let yourself sip anything with alcohol. A designated driver isn't about who is the least drunk. Get a soda, water, tea, or even a mocktail!
Have Fun: Nobody wants to be driven around by a buzzkill. Enjoy your time with your friends and don't make the night all about having a pity party over being a designated driver. Everyone will have a better time and be more willing to return the favor at another time!
Are you always the designated driver? Consider making a pact with your group that you have to take turns with the responsibilities of driving around for the night. Make being a designated driver as attractive for the other person as possible by offering to buy them dinner, pay for gas, and pay for future drinks!
At the end of the night, if you or someone you know is still faced with an OWI, contact Arnold Terrill, P.C. for skilled legal help.

Q: I want to drag an image between two PictureBox controls while moving the Image with the mouse cursor (chess game vb.net) I know how to do the first part of my question but it doesn't look good in the game when the piece image just disappear off the original board square and then appear on the target square, so I want the piece to remain visible while moving with the mouse movement between the 64's PictureBox controls that I've made as the board squares.

Otto von Guericke (1602-1686) has his place among the city's most famous sons. From 1646 to 1676 he was Lord Mayor of Magdeburg and he also made a name for himself as diplomat and scientist. In 1907, the City Council decided to erect a monument on a square in front of the main watch house in order to commemorate Magdeburg's universal genius. The famous sculptor Carl Echtermeyer created the bronze statue showing a sitting Otto-von Guericke, and the artist mounted the statue upon a pedestal made of natural stone and decorated with reliefs. The decorations recall the city before its destruction in 1631 and they also show von Guericke's famous experiment with the Magdeburg Hemispheres: A teams of sixteen horses could not pull apart the two joined hemispheres when the air within had been evacuated. It was probably in 1656 or 1657 that the hemisphere experiment with horses was performed in Magdeburg for the first time. With a bit of luck, you can even witness the celebration of an old tradition in front of the Guericke monument. Young scientists honoured with the conferral of a doctorate by the Magdeburg Otto von Guericke University use to dress up in historical costumes and celebrate their recently acquired academic degree right here.

Frame Apartments
Frame Apartments, New Zealand
Aurecon comes in at the ground floor to build up Frame Apartments
There is no doubt that New Zealand is having challenges around the availability of housing. This is particularly evident in the major city of Wellington on the country's North Island. Finding somewhere to live is becoming increasingly difficult as the city's population swells.
One project that has generated additional apartment living for Wellington residents is the 17-level Frame Apartments. As one of the city's tallest apartment buildings, the complex boasts a total of 54 one and two-bedroom apartments.
Aurecon collaborated with design and construct partner Arrow International and architects Archaus to create a structural engineering solution that enabled the Frame Apartments to be built to the client's requirements. At the core of the successful partnership was the creation of a common mind-set of collaboration and the establishment of an open and trustworthy work environment.
This was highlighted by Aurecon's Technical Director, Built Environment, John Finnegan when he commented that to design the building's structural solution was no easy feat. Wellington is an incredibly windy city and is subject to significant seismic activity, and apartment buyers today expect resilience from tall buildings. John concluded that it took a unified project team with strong knowledge and communication to achieve the best outcome for the Frame Apartments.
An award-winning structural solution
Aurecon knew that an innovative approach was required and that not only was the construction method important, so were the construction materials.
The resulting reinforced concrete structure provided the required combination of stiffness and resilience, with a construction method design that minimised material wastage and build time. The structure was also rigid enough to withstand high winds and durable enough to withstand unexpected seismic events.
The sustainable use of concrete was recognised at the Concrete Sustainability Awards where the project took out the Excellence in Residential Concrete Construction Award 2018. The concrete solution was praised for its rapid in-site construction and the associated advantages of robustness and resilience. The judges commented on how the approach would no doubt gain greater uptake as the need for medium-density housing continues to grow in response to a growing population in New Zealand's major centres.
The concrete wall system
The exterior walls of the building were constructed using an auto-climbing formwork system. This proposed system allowed multiple storeys to be constructed before craning in the rib-and infill precast floor system and internal framing. It allowed the external walls to be constructed without interference to the inside of the building.
The reusable formwork system meant less waste on site as the single system kept climbing skywards as construction progressed. So reusable it is, that the same formwork is now being used on a different building project in New Zealand. The accuracy of the formwork meant that concrete wastage was drastically reduced compared with a traditional concrete building, and as each level progressed workers had a readymade secure platform to work internally from.
Whilst this concrete exterior wall was structurally efficient and economical to build, it served another purpose – aesthetics. The architectural intent for the building was that internal concrete walls would be visible to residents and part of the appeal in purchasing an apartment.
Realising the architectural intent with thermal mass
The exposed concrete walls became the visible feature of the development, with the colourful panels visible from the exterior providing the necessary insulation for the structure.
This form of construction also utilised the concrete's thermal mass as part of an overall passive solar design, which will help to minimise future heating and cooling demands, and in turn boost health and wellbeing.
The building has achieved a rigid and resilient structural form while still allowing its residents to enjoy the hillside and harbour views from their apartments.
Frame Apartments is one of Wellington's tallest residential buildings and a testament to how unique function, design, and innovation can be combined to create an enduring property that works within its environment while further enhancing the urban fabric of the city.

How does a post about jazz and summer relate to my relationship with social media? It started like this. For those of you that follow the blog (for those that don't…why not?), you may remember my post, Why Jazz Might Make Me A Better Gamer. I discussed my annual Thanksgiving Project, where I take a band or genre and focus on it from Thanksgiving until Christmas. That year was Jazz. Since then, some form of the music has been in my rotation on a fairly consistent basis. I listen to jazz now when I write. Aurally, it dominates my work environment, or at least the space between my headphones and my ears. It's that space specifically, that led me here. I was at the office, listening to Cannonball Adderley's, Somethin' Else, and working on some documentation when my brain starting whispering that it was time to buy a new record. For the past few weeks, I had silenced it with reason and activity. I try to make an effort, prior to any new acquisition binge, to go back through my purchases and focus on some records that didn't receive a lot of play time. For me, it was these three: The Bill Evan's Trio, Waltz for Debby; Dave Brubeck's Time Out; Ornette Coleman's, The Shape Of Jazz To Come. It was fun to spend time with them again and it's a practice that can sometime change my opinion on a recording that didn't strike me the first go-around. For example, I am perplexed why I didn't listen to Time Out more, and came to the realization that I missed the boat on Ornette Coleman. While still not a huge fan of the record, I now get what he was trying to do. On the flip side, it helped confirm Waltz For Debby's necessary spot on my shelf and not in my playlist. Feeling that I completed enough due diligence with my back catalog, I was ready for something new, but wasn't sure where to go. I've built up a fairly solid introductory collection of Jazz, but now needed something completely different. Something that would take me further down the rabbit hole.
Here's where the side of social media that I am fascinated by comes in and saves the day (and helps shape the sound of my summer). On a whim, I picked up my phone and posted out to a couple Facebook friends. Friends like the type I mentioned at the first of my post. People that I may have never known if it weren't for social media. People that I now enjoy interacting with regularly. Also, they both have damn fine taste in music. Interestingly, when I started my jazz Thanksgiving project, it was one of their replies – before I knew them – to a mutual friend's post on music from which I nicked a couple of recommendations, Sonny Rollins and Cannonball Adderley, both of which I have become quite fond of. In my half-cocked post I asked for a jazz recommendation with the commitment that I would buy it without question and play it seven times consecutively. I asked for a recommendation from one friend, and put the other on notice they were next. They both seemed amenable to the idea and I soon had my first artist and album. The ground rules themselves, were nothing more than a set of requirements to give the whole thing a bit of gravity; make it seem a bit like an adventure if you will.
I bought the first recommendation, downloaded it (thank you Amazon Auto-Rip), and started to listen. Then a funny thing happened, I went back to the post and a couple other friends posted artists to the thread they thought I should check out. Quickly a small conversation started and people that didn't know each other were engaged in discussion, turning each other on to new sounds. It was a small nugget of something positive. That's when the idea started to take form. How fun would it be to use social media to expand my understanding of jazz and in turn, maybe connect a group of people I know, but may not know each other, with the central theme of music? It would be more than a random thread that gets shared around your network, beckoning you to make a list about a subject and tag your friends, so they have to post as well (though I did take great pleasure in participating in one about music, which may ultimately prove to be the subconscious seed of this idea). This would be about using a global community to shape and share my musical experiences; to let my friends, many of whom have my utmost respect when it comes to music, help shape the exploration of a music style for me? My collection would become a reflection of, and connection to, the people I know.
This isn't something entirely new. Hearing about new bands through your friends has always been one of the main ways to expand one's musical horizons, but pre-technology, it's also been somewhat localized. The picks I will be receiving hold no geographic boundaries, but may be influenced by the geography in which the person exists. Maybe there is a regional artist that I would've never have had the opportunity to hear or know about? This project also has no filter or bias. We tend to filter any of the information we receive based on our likes and dislikes. This will not. I am at the mercy of their recommendation. I will purchase and listen to whatever is suggested.
It has to be some form of Jazz. While this may seem like a silly clarification, for those music fans reading this that are also boardgamers, this rule is very important (we gamers tend to be a bit nit-picky).
It can be the same artist or band previously recommended, but it can't be a duplicate album recommendation. Similarly, if it's something I already own (pretty unlikely), I will ask for something different.
It can be any jazz record they want me to listen to. A completely open, free recommendation. Maybe it's their favorite? Maybe it's the record that turned them onto jazz, or maybe it was simply the first thing that popped into their mind? As few limits or influence as possible. I don't want to know why – not yet – just what I should listen to next.
Both music fans and boardgamers love to talk and share what they are into; what they are listening to or what has been on their game table lately. In return, I believe that if you listen and are willing to explore someone else's interests, you can begin to understand that person on a slightly deeper level. Maybe that's what is lacking about the dark side of social media. There is a willingness to share, but not to listen or understand. For 15 weeks, my friends – some I know very well, some I have never physically met – will help compose the sounds of my summer. At the end of it, I am sure I will have a more diverse collection of jazz. More importantly, I will have a deeper sense of who the people involved are. I will be posting my thoughts and experiences with the records. Monthly, I will write about the previous recommendations and share a few choice cuts that perhaps captured my fancy. I will be honest and, understanding that my technical knowledge of jazz is still in its toddler years, I will do my best to convey my feelings and opinions about the music. I hope you follow along and more importantly, I hope you comment on your thoughts about the music. I would love to hear from you.

The envelopes came out exactly how I approved them. Excellent work!
Service was excellent when I accidentally send the envelopes to the wrong address. I received the envelopes the next day.
The envelopes are great! The logo is just as the proof I was sent; I received my order just as expected.
These wonderful 9X12 black folders were used for a presentation to hotels and restaurants to promote The Charm'tastic Mile of Baltimore. The Charm'tastic Mile or more simply "The Mile" is the honorary name for the 1.3 mile corridor that connects Downtown-west, the Inner Harbor and Harbor East. The presentation was a huge success.
I loved these folders!! They are very professional looking and you can use them every year and just write different year number. They are not very heavyweight, they are light but they do the job. We will order these from now on.
Great product. Professional appearance. Will definitely use this company again.
Envelopes were as expected. Good quality. Sealed well. Overall, happy with the purchase.
This envelope works great for all of our accounting departments needs. It is reasonably priced as well.


Many people consider a garage as not just a place to park their cars, but use to their garage as a hobby station, gym, or even a home office. Some people also prefer using their garage as a storage space to stack up their home accessories.
No matter how you use your garage, the weather seals of garage doors play a vital role in maintaining the internal environment within the garage at the best level, and prevent pests and dirt from entering in. So, if you encounter any problems regarding garage door seals, call Garage Door in My Area, the best garage door repair service in Orange County, to fix the issue as soon as possible. Here are a few benefits of having proper weather sealing on your garage door.
Garage door seals cover the small joints and gaps between the door body and its surrounding structures, and act as a barrier. These gaps will allow leaves, pests, water, and dust to enter into your house, if they are lefty unguarded. If water enters into your garage, it might damage the stored items in there, and there is even a risk of slipping and falling down.
Garage door weather stripping consists of plastic or vinyl pieces, which are attached to the header and jambs of the garage door using screws and nails. Different types of door seals are used in garage door weather seals in Orange County to ensure the presence of an effective barrier between the interiors of the garage and other outdoor elements.
Apart from protecting the stored items and the interiors, the weather seals also ensure the life of the garage door and its surroundings. Garage doors are huge and many users handle it a bit roughly. The rough use may eventually result in wear and tears at the edge of the garage door. As a result of this, the plaster, concrete, or surrounding wall finishes might show signs of damage.
Garage door weather seals in Orange County solve this issue by acting as a cushion along the closing sides of the garage door. This will significantly minimize the chances for potential damage to garage door and its surrounding parts. The possibility of frequent door replacement and the need to refinish headers and jambs can also be eliminated by installing garage door seals.
If you have not yet installed a weather seal on your garage door, contact the number one garage door repair service in Orange County, Garage Door in My Area, and make sure to install one as soon as possible.

I don't know about you, but I've always heard that kindness is a virtue. It seems to be truer than ever these days. Unfortunately, I think some people have forgotten how to be kind to others. It really isn't that hard. You should treat others how you want to be treated. It's that simple.
As I get older, I'm realizing how very true that philosophy is in life. There are so many people out there who only see the negative in life, doing whatever they can to complain. I've come to realize I don't need those kind of people in my life. I have a choice, and I choose to ignore or walk away from those people. Don't get me wrong, I complain, too, but I don't make it my life's mission. We all have our struggles, challenges, bad days, etc. But, we also have a choice in how we react to those situations.
So, I guess I'm wishing more people will realize being kind isn't that hard. When someone asks how your weekend was when you walk into work on Monday, focus on the good things that happened. Don't dwell on anything negative, and be sure to ask that person how his/her weekend was, too. It is very easy to dwell on what you have going on in your life, but make an effort to put others first.
Epictetus also said, "First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak." We sometimes get caught up in everything around us, and forget to think before we respond to a situation. Life would be different if people thought how their words might affect someone before they speak. I need to be better at this, and it's something I've been working on this year.
In short, choose kindness. Choose to be someone others want to be around. Choose to focus on the positive.
