Q: Purpose of @keyframes in css3 I came across @keyframes somewhere in css3 codes. I couldn't find about it in much detail in stackoverflow. Even this question answers the @ rules except @keyframes.
Can somebody explain or provide a good link about @keyframes in detail?
Thanks in advance.

A: The @keyframes at-rule is intended to define a CSS3 animation and usually has vendor prefixes in the real CSS code, since the standardization/implementation dust hasn't settled down yet. You can find more about WebKit's implementation (@-webkit-keyframes) from their blog post... or about the general stuff here.

A: Have a read of: http://css3.bradshawenterprises.com/animations/
They just set the parameters for different stages of an animation, this lets you perform complex animations using CSS.

Sony Developing Christmas Horror Movie From 'A Quiet Place' Producer Platinum Dunes | Film News
22 Aug 2018 — Filed Under: Film, Film News
Sony have reportedly picked up a horror pitch from writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan for Platinum Dunes, the producers behind this year's horror hit A Quiet Place. Little is known about the details of the pitch thus far, but it will reportedly be set during the holidays and is only being referred to as the untitled Christmas movie for now.
Deadline did however report that the film will be in the vein of 90s slashers I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream. The pitch was reportedly brought to Sony by Aaron Janus, executive producer for A Quiet Place.
Melton and Dunstan have written a handful of movies together, including a few in the Saw franchise, as well as projects such as The Collection and The Neighbour. They are also currently collaborating with Guillermo Del Toro on Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, a series which is set to premiere next year.
A Quiet Place impressively made $331.7 million worldwide, even more remarkable considering that the net cost of the film was only around $17 million. Sony will naturally hope for similar sort of numbers with this new film, but it's hard to know or judge anything about it when the details are lacking and there's naturally no news of a director or casting yet.

Are you a homeowner, business, organization, or municipality who has lost a tree? Do you have a special piece of wood and would like to remember its life in a piece of art to cherish, display, give as a gift or market? I can help. This site contains instructions on how to harvest a section of your tree to be used in this process. Future plans will include video clips of the entire process. The items in the For Sale page of this site give a variety of designs and price ranges. The entire process can take up to 12 months to shape, dry and finish a piece. There is no cost or obligation to you until you see the final product.
I humbled to have had 2 of my pieces juried into the Paramount Center for the Arts current exhibition "Through My Eyes".
The Paramount Center for the Arts Juried Exhibition: Through My Eyes is open now through September 26, 2017. The hope of this exhibition is that creative exploration will help artists and viewers alike to make personal meaning of the world around us and will foster connections between diverse people with varying perspectives. This highly competitive exhibition features 59 works selected out of 123 submissions from artists around the state. It is an exciting and beautiful collection of fine art.
The artwork is on display in the theater lobby and Gallery St. Germain during regular business hours. There will be a closing reception September 26th from 5:45-8:00 pm where Juror Jovan C. Speller will be announcing awards. All are welcome to attend.
I donated this piece to the Minnesota Dance Ensemble "Art In Motion" benefit. Six pieces were selected as the inspiration for a choreographed dance to compliment the art. My piece was choreographed by Samantha Collen and performed by the full Minnesota Dance Ensemble Company.
"The 3D winners each display a deep concern with handicraft and materials. Gary Mrozek's 1962, whose title details the number of pieces of wood used, reveals a sense of wonder at how parts—with technique, ingenuity, and care—can add up to a whole greater than their sum."

Known internationally for his large murals and stencil work, Stinkfish commonly refers to photographs of local people that he takes in passing and later turns into stencils.
This is the first ever multi-method print on 1xRUN, and perfectly fitting for an artist like Stinkfish. In producing these, they have created a set of giclee prints of an old magazine cover Stinkfish found, to use as a base. Afterwards, his stencil design was screen printed on top of the giclee with a thick layer of special black, glossy ink. The high quality image looks truly vintage, and silkscreen effect of the mask stands well above the image, just as the stencils he is known for.
1xRUN are simultaneously releasing two color versions of this print. A total of 50 in black, and 20 in pink. All prints are Signed & Numbered by the Artist and come with a Certificate of Authenticity from 1xRUN and go on sale on Monday the 5th of September.

WKTV: Republican businessman joins race for New York governor
Via WKTV
UTICA, N.Y. – A Republican who has joined the race for New York State governor visited Utica Wednesday morning.
Harry Wilson is a native of Johnstown, and says he was raised by a working-class family. He is a businessman who works with struggling companies to help them restructure.
His campaign slogan is "Turn Around New York."
"For the last 30 years, I've gone through some of the most complicated and difficult turnarounds in American and saved hundreds of thousands of jobs during that process and I think that's exactly what New York State needs, a turnaround," said Wilson.
Wilson is planning to visit 10 cities around the state over the next three days to jump-start his campaign.
According to his campaign website, Wilson's goal are to make changes in Albany, lower taxes and address the rise in crime by investing in law enforcement. He also says he will eliminate cashless bail.
In 2010, Wilson lost the race for state comptroller to current Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.
Wilson will face the following Republicans in the June primaries:
Rob Astorino
Lewis County Sherriff Michael Carpinelli
Derrick Gibson
Andrew Giuliani
Kris Lord
Congressman Lee Zeldin
Gov. Kathy Hochul is the frontrunner in the Democratic party, but others have also declared their candidacy, including Congressman Tom Suozzi and public advocate Jumaane Williams.

Is there a dichotomy between individuality and "humans are social animals"?
Is there a dichotomy between individuality and "humans are social animals"?
What kind of theory is there available about this topic?
By dichotomy I mean "opposition". I.e. are there contradictions between the two things (individuality and social animal).

@virmaior What do you mean by "non-identical" and how is it related to dichotomy? – mavavilj Aug 1 '16 at 7:37
if your question is "is there a part of philosophy dealing with humans in society?" , then the answer is "yes, political philosophy." Other than that, I don't think we can answer "is there a contradiction?" without making this purely opinion-based. – virmaior Aug 1 '16 at 8:05
@virmaior Well political philosophy is sort of about balancing individuals and "sociality". But I think I'm asking more about whether there can be contradictions in being an individual and being coerced into social norms etc. "social" aspects of being a human? – mavavilj Aug 1 '16 at 8:24
@mavavilj Can there be? Sure, but they are not diametrically opposed which is what you make it sound like. I would argue you cannot have a principle of individuality without first having a notion of a group identity. Individuality is about making oneself distinct from one's group. – called2voyage Aug 1 '16 at 13:09
yes there is a dichotomy. But a dichotomy is not a contradiction. My cat is a unique individual; she is also a member of a species. Being a member of that species is precisely what makes her a cat. But she remains a unique individual. Similarly if prosociality is what makes us human, that does not mean we are not unique individuals.
No, there is not a dichotomy between the two.
While there may be portions of each attribute which are at odds, the general notion of 'individuality' may (and does) co-exist with the need for social interaction.
To abuse a metaphor, let us pretend pursing activities which promote individualism is 'chocolate', and pursuing social activities is 'pizza'.
While some people greatly prefer one or the other, generally people like both to some degree. Does desiring pizza preclude a person from also enjoying chocolate as well? Do people sometimes 'overindulge' on chocolate, and so want something more substantial for their next meal?
Does enjoying late night clubbing with friends preclude a person from desiring some solo meditation the next morning? Does spending two years in voluntary isolation mean that one doesn't wish to engage in social activities?
immortal squishimmortal squish
I think a better analogy is that sociality is like pizza, and individuality is like pizza sauce. You can have a pizza without sauce, but you can't have pizza sauce without a pizza. – called2voyage Aug 2 '16 at 13:16

Tomorrow, March 7, will mark the 52nd anniversary of Bloody Sunday, the historic march and shocking police riot in Selma, Alabama, that helped build public support for passage of the Voting Rights Act. Now, a half-century later, an avowed critic of that law – former Alabama Sen. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, who was born in Selma – has been confirmed as attorney general of the United States. In one of his first acts in office – reversing Obama's order to phase out the federal government's use of private prisons – he has begun to weaken civil rights protections.
When Trump stoked public fears of violent crime in our cities, called our prison system a "disaster," and endorsed "privatizations and private prisons," the industry ponied up hundreds of thousands of dollars to support his candidacy. Since Trump won the election, share prices of GEO Group and CoreCivic have soared more than 100 percent. In our corrupted politics, Sessions' act helps consolidate their return on investment.
Reviving private prisons, however, represents far more than mere anti-Obama venom, ideological preference, or even political corruption. It tramples basic civil and human rights. And African Americans and Latinos, who disproportionately populate our prisons, will suffer the most.
Incarcerating people in for-profit prisons is morally indefensible. Locking people up and turning them over to companies whose primary concerns are profits and return to investors is a recipe for abuse. And the record of private prisons demonstrates repeatedly that abuse is pervasive. In Sessions' home state of Alabama, for example, whites constitute two-thirds of the total population but only 42 percent of the prison population. African Americans represent only one-fourth of the total population, but over half (54 percent) of the incarcerated.
This is the cause of repeated upheaval and scandal. Private prisons suffer more violence. Underpaid guards too often punish prisoners without accountability. Private prisons, Obama's Justice Department found, aren't as safe for prisoners or for guards as public prisons. They lack the services that might revive hope rather than crush it, such as educational programs and job training. Despite their companies' claims, private prisons don't save government much money either.
Worse, the thirst for profit overrides the needs of the incarcerated. Private prisons are notorious for skimping on food, facilities, and health care. They gouge prisoners even for using the telephone to stay in contact with loved ones. Worse, the private companies generally demand that the government guarantee that their cells will be full, even if actual crime rates are falling or if harsh sentencing is rolled back. Nearly two-thirds of private prison contracts mandate that state and local governments sustain an occupancy rate – usually 90 percent – or taxpayers pay for the empty beds. At the federal level, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) budget is mandated by the Congress to maintain detention beds for at least 34,000 immigrants daily.
Sessions' order impacts some 14,000 federal prisoners, a number that has been trending down in recent years. Most of the 2 million prisoners in America are sentenced and held at the state and local level. To them, Sessions is sending a strong signal. The federal government will be ramping up detentions, particularly of immigrants. It signals to states and localities – many of which have been souring on private prisons – that the federal government is all in for privatization.
Trump has promised a new day for what he calls America's "inner cities." But what we've seen so far is a return to the failed policies of the past – law and order rhetoric combined with calls for tougher police tactics, harsher sentences, and now a corrupt and indefensible embrace of privatized prisons. With Sessions in the DOJ, Trump's divisive racial rhetoric is about to turn into policy.

Predetermined Algorithms Source of Widespread Election Fraud in Arizona
by Admin | Jun 29, 2022 | 2020 Election, Election Fraud, Election Tampering, Electronic Voting, Vote Switches, Voter Fraud | 0 comments
This article was originally published on UncoverDC.com at this link.
By Wendi Strauch Mahoney June 29, 2022
Predetermined algorithms caused widespread election fraud in Maricopa County, Arizona. Jovan Hutton Pulitzer told a packed room on June 27 that he conducted a forensic kinematic investigation of the ballots that "shows sufficient and irrefutable evidence of pervasive voter fraud and widespread election fraud in Maricopa County, Arizona." Pulitzer explained that "specific ballots" were repeatedly and fraudulently inserted to predetermine the election's winner. In short, the Maricopa election was an absolute mess that robbed many voters of their 14th amendment rights. Pulitzer said he is still knee-deep in the investigation.
To be clear, a kinematic investigation means Pulitzer actually followed the physical and cyber "trail" of the Maricopa County ballots from the time they were manufactured to the "printing, the folding, sorting, and mailing" of those ballots. Pulitzer then "followed the mailing process, the return process, the election handling process, and eventual scanning, tallying, and election recording of the votes—and reporting of the final outcome." In addition, Pulitzer drilled his investigation down to the precinct level. He and his team processed over 20,895,610 digital and forensic images in multiple formats.
Predetermined Algorithms and Strategically Inserted Ballots
Pulitzer says he can prove that predetermined algorithms caused the election to be skewed toward a win for Biden.
"91.62 percent of the predetermined ballots were cast in favor of Joe Biden."
Approximately 406,972 of the over 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County were "of a predetermined origin" because of the use of algorithms. 38 percent of the mail-in ballots for Biden were found to be of a predetermined nature. 33 percent of the Trump ballots on election day were predetermined. After removing the fraudulently cast ballots, Trump got 59% of the votes. To find that "true vote," Pulitzer removed the ballots contributing to the predetermined outcome. Biden only got 41 percent with the removal of the predetermined ballots.
Pulitzer is confident that when the algorithm could not keep pace with the votes coming in for Trump, "paper ballots had to be created to match the electronic outcome." He found ample evidence of many ballot boxes that were "pilfered." The boxes were "opened and reopened over time to either insert or remove ballots."
Interestingly, 52 ballot boxes were "pre-set aside" on Election Day for a hand audit. Oddly, those boxes were the only ones that were never disturbed. The inconsistencies and non-compliance concerning the handling of the other ballot boxes were remarkable, allowing for fraudulent activity such as the insertion of ballots where needed.
Pallet upon pallet of boxes was dual-dated. That translates to ballots with multiple dates and multiple months all mixed in, a finding that is "not congruent with how these ballots should be processed." 89 percent of the dual date batches "were decided for Joe Biden," according to Pulitzer. He stated that election workers "with decades of experience had never seen such dual date batches." Pulitzer believes the boxes were "pilfered to make the paper match the digital outcome."
Incorrect Paper Causes Compromised Elections
The incorrect paper was also used; paper that was so thin it allowed for bleed-through on the ballots, which, in turn, caused massive forced adjudication of ballots. To run an honest election, the paper must be the correct printing density, and the printing machines must be properly maintained and calibrated. Pulitzer said, "343,304 ballots were printed out of mechanical compliance," with no one supervising or inspecting the printers.
That is 343,304 voters who "were not treated equally" in the election, according to the 14th amendment. His analysis included bleedthrough analysis, chromatic analysis, human or machine voted Oval analysis, and machine or hand fold or no fold analysis. The use of incorrect paper and poorly calibrated machines resulted in 120,867 compromised ballots. That represents 6 percent of the votes and creates "a forced adjudication event." That is "nine times the deciding outcome of the 2020 election," added Pulitzer.
The Maricopa County Board of election reported they used only Roland vote secure paper in the 2020 election. However, Pulitzer says this is "patently false." He backed up his claims with countless official witnesses and affidavits "submitted by longtime Maricopa County election workers."
"Our systems detected numerous, not secure, non-compliant, simple commercial grade paper cut to the ballot size was used widespread in Maricopa County," continued Pulitzer, primarily for the needs of the ballot on-demand machines. In excess of 200,000 individual ballots were printed on unauthorized, not official compromised commercially available papers not suitable for compliant ballot-voting stock. 10 percent of the ballots cast in Maricopa County in the Arizona general election were compromised due to the wrong paper ballot stock being utilized."
SharpieGate is real, despite the protestations of the County election board. Prior to 2020, Sharpie pens were expressly prohibited for obvious reasons—they often bleed through the ballot paper. Using the sharpies with inferior paper is a double whammy. Markings from sharpies cause extra votes and confuse the scanning machines.
Additionally, 10,943 Maricopa general election ballots were straight-up "counterfeit ballots." The use of these counterfeit ballots "was widespread across all of Maricopa County," according to Pulitzer. 39 percent of the counterfeit ballots were cast for Donald Trump, and 46 percent were cast for Biden. Thirteen percent were cast for write-in candidates.
"These counterfeit ballots gave Joe Biden an advantage over Donald Trump, equal to almost 7% of the deciding outcome. The malicious use of 10,943 counterfeit ballots represents a subverted or stolen vote from the Arizona voters, which is equal to 104% of the deciding outcome."
Adjudication Rates were Outlandish
Pulitzer had some remarkable comments on the adjudication rate in the county. Maricopa beat historic records in terms of adjudication rates in 2020. 235,367 ballots were changed "either by a human or a machine" in the election "after the ballots were tallied." Not only that, he said, "99 percent of all batches were modified." Remarkably, the ballots were modified electronically "without ANY inspection of the physical ballot paper." Pulitzer explained:
"Historically across American elections, if more than four ballots per one hundred showed errors in the system, the machines were considered to not be functioning properly. This is one out of every 25 ballots. In the 2016 general election, correcting ballots happened about one per 100 ballots. In 2018 across America, it was two times per 100 ballots, or one out of every 50 ballots. In 2020 Maricopa, AZ, had the adjudication rates jump to an astounding one out of every eight ballots cast. This abnormality in Maricopa represents almost 12 times the historical average per ballot modifications."
Mail-In Ballots are a Nightmare
One of the most stunning revelations of the evening was related to mail-in ballots. Most people now realize that mail-in ballots were utilized in 2020 on a massive scale under the guise of the pandemic. Ballot cracking was used in the election. Ballot cracking means that individuals can access and tamper with ballots that were returned undeliverable in the mail. The individual opens the ballot, votes, signs a "bogus signature," or doesn't sign it. Since Maricopa County fell abysmally short in the area of signature verification, "ballot cracking can go undetected," said Pulitzer.
Moreover, he stated, when "returned to the county, these ballots simply disappear." The county reported 53,866 as returned undeliverable ballots in the Maricopa election. However, incredibly:
"The Election Assistance Commission, utilizing United States Postal Service records, reported for 2020 that 110,092 general election ballots were, in fact, returned in Maricopa County, Arizona. Ballot cracking, these mysteriously disappearing 110,092 ballots would have been inserting a number of nefarious ballots in an amount greater than 400% of the official margin of the election."
The mail-in ballots combined with poorly maintained voter rolls in the county resulted in another opportunity for fraud. There were 246,691 phantom voters on the Maricopa rolls as a result of dirty voter rolls. Nefarious actors can use ballot-cracking and other methods to backfill votes when you have overinflated rolls of 10 percent—as was the case in Maricopa. There was an average of 332 phantom voters per precinct in the county. And "they are almost always wiped from the voter rolls" immediately following an election. "26 percent of the 2020 win were scrubbed immediately following the Maricopa election," according to Pulitzer.
Coordinated Subversion of an Election
However, the most stunning revelation of the evening referenced how profoundly the 2020 election was allegedly subverted because of the pandemic. Runbeck printed the ballots for many elections, including Maricopa. Pulitzer explained:
"We got no Runbeck records. We got no postal records for some reason for the roughly 2,545,000 voters mailed 4,089,000 ballots. That means Runbeck printed over 4,089,000 ballots. We don't have an answer for that. That is why ballot cracking is key."
But here is where the information becomes really interesting. News of the pandemic began to emerge in early 2020. However, Pulitzer points out that the first holiday they told us to all stay home was on the 4th of July. In August, many states decided to go with mail-in ballots. He then refers to something odd that Runbeck did in March and another odd thing the Post Office pulled in April.
"Runbeck placed the largest order in the world ever for ballot envelope stuffing machines on March 1—How did they know? I have the order and everything.
Our United States Post Office has what's called a mail cover system. This is how when somebody sends anthrax to the president; you're able to track it. And our Postal Service, when that comes in and goes on the conveyor belt, it snaps the front and back photo and it's automatic. Those records are kept for six years—for investigational work like we do.
As soon as Runbeck ordered, the machines our United States Post Office stopped its mail cover program—on April 1. It undid it from six years and changed it to 30 days. Let the election run, let Biden get installed, and then turned it back on. We do not have the physical evidence trail. That's what I was telling you. This is the highest levels of the government. This is how far it goes."
This article covers a fraction of Pulitzer's findings. It is well worth the time to watch the entire presentation. Pulitzer implored the citizens attending the event to understand that while the election was shockingly fraudulent, "it is the greatest gift" we could have hoped for. Now that our eyes are open, we can no longer look to others to fix the problem.
"Now that we know every possible way this is done, we can shut it down, he added."We created this problem because we trust. We don't operate crookedly. We're running our lives. We just want to live and be free. But we did this to ourselves. If we let it go, we don't address it. Nothing is going to stop it. Nobody's coming to save you except you."

Q: Filtrar Informação do PostgreSQL em tela Windows Forms usando Entity Framework Existe alguma forma de buscar as informações no postgresql por apelido? Mas sem utilizar alias, apenas no cadastro do campo na tabela eu já informar o nome real para o campo?
Exemplo:

*

*id_cliente terá o nome de "Código Cliente"

*dtNascimento como o nome de "Data de Nascimento"

Pois gostaria de criar uma classe genérica que funcione para qualquer tabela, colocando assim o nome do campo como filtro.
Algo parecido como:

Onde o campo para o filtro será o campo da tabela com o nome real.
Que assim cada campo adicionado na tabela no futuro já poderá ser usado como filtro em uma tela de pesquisa e já com o nome real para o usuário.
Existe alguma forma de fazer isso? só preciso de alguma dica do que pesquisar que o código vou me virando, mas não sei que tecnologia utilizar ou por onde começar.

A: Sim. Use [Column]:
[Column("Código Cliente")]
public int ClienteId { get; set; }

[Column("Data de Nascimento")]
public DateTime DataNascimento { get; set; }

O título da pergunta deveria ser "como filtrar no Winforms pelo nome da coluna exibido". Fiz uma simulação e logo devo editar esta resposta e colocar o exemplo num capítulo do Coding Craft porque sem querer fiz um tutorial sobre como usar Entity Framework com Windows Forms e PostgreSQL.

Vamos às perguntas:

Existe alguma forma de buscar as informações no postgresql por apelido? mas sem utilizar alias, apenas no cadastro do campo na tabela eu já informar o nome real para o campo?

Não. Você precisa passar o nome da coluna mesmo. O que você pode fazer é a interface do usuário exibir o nome da coluna amigável e o código receber o nome da coluna como ele é de fato.

Pois gostaria de criar uma classe genérica que funcione para qualquer tabela, colocando assim o nome do campo como filtro.

Isso envolve usar bastante Reflection. Usar o "nome do campo" não acho uma boa ideia, mas você pode exibir o nome do campo e pegar outro valor.
Para ilustrar, vou fazer um exemplo completo.
Model e Tela
Modelei uma classe Cliente como exemplo assim:
public class Cliente
{
    [Key]
    [DisplayName("Identificador do Cliente")]
    public Guid ClienteId { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [DisplayName("Nome do Cliente")]
    public String Nome { get; set; }
    [Required]
    [DisplayName("Nome Fantasia")]
    public String Fantasia { get; set; }
}

Ou seja, cada propriedade da classe de Cliente tem um atributo [DisplayName]. Esse atributo será o que eu vou exibir para o usuário.
Feito isso, posso fazer o seguinte código para popular a compo "Campos de Pesquisa":
        var camposPesquisa = typeof(Cliente).GetProperties(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public |
                           BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy)
                           .Select(p => new {
                               Valor = p.Name,
                               Texto = p.GetCustomAttribute<DisplayNameAttribute>().DisplayName
                           }).ToList();

        comboBoxCampoPesquisa.ValueMember = "Valor";
        comboBoxCampoPesquisa.DisplayMember = "Texto";
        comboBoxCampoPesquisa.DataSource = camposPesquisa;

Ou seja, minha tela irá exibir os valores de [DisplayName], mas os valores que irão para o código são os nomes dos meus campos:

Posso fazer a mesma coisa para a condição, definindo um Enum Condicao e colocar atributos [Display] neles:
public enum Condicao
{
    [Display(Name = "Igual")]
    Igual,
    [Display(Name = "Diferente")]
    Diferente,
    [Display(Name = "Maior")]
    Maior,
    [Display(Name = "Menor")]
    Menor,
    [Display(Name = "Maior ou Igual")]
    MaiorOuIgual,
    [Display(Name = "Menor ou Igual")]
    MenorOuIgual
}

Para extrair o atributo dos Enums, você precisará de um método de extensão:
public static class EnumExtensions
{
    public static TAttribute GetAttribute<TAttribute>(this Enum enumValue)
            where TAttribute : Attribute
    {
        return enumValue.GetType()
                        .GetMember(enumValue.ToString())
                        .First()
                        .GetCustomAttribute<TAttribute>();
    }
}

Para usá-lo assim:
        var condicoes = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Condicao))
            .Cast<Condicao>()
            .Select(c => new
            {
                Valor = c.ToString(),
                Texto = c.GetAttribute<DisplayAttribute>().Name
            })
            .ToList();

        comboBoxCondicao.ValueMember = "Valor";
        comboBoxCondicao.DisplayMember = "Texto";
        comboBoxCondicao.DataSource = condicoes;

E então:

Grid
Estou supondo que a inicialização da Grid é feita no evento OnLoad do seu Form
    protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnLoad(e);
        context.Clientes.Load();

        clienteBindingSource.DataSource =
            context.Clientes.Local.ToBindingList();

        ...
    }

Apenas com isso tenho a pesquisa dos dados e a devida observação por eles através do contexto do Entity Framework. Feito isso, preciso colocar uma CheckBox e um evento para que ela dispare a filtragem no momento apropriado:
    private void checkBoxFiltrar_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Filtrar(checkBoxFiltrar.Checked);
    }

Apenas como teste, fiz a filtragem por nome da seguinte forma:
    protected void Filtrar(bool checkFiltrar)
    {
        if (checkFiltrar)
            clienteBindingSource.DataSource = context.Clientes.Where(c => c.Nome == textBoxValor.Text).ToList();
        else
            clienteBindingSource.DataSource = context.Clientes.Local.ToBindingList();

        dataGridView.Refresh();
    }

Aqui é o ponto de partida para uma lógica mais robusta. Há duas formas de fazer: usando a biblioteca System.Linq.Dynamic ou montando Expressions. Para esta resposta vou usar a primeira (que, no fundo, faz a mesma coisa que a segunda).
Predicados Dinâmicos
Vamos montar apenas o predicado dinâmico para Condicao.Igual:
    protected void Filtrar(bool checkFiltrar)
    {
        if (checkFiltrar)
            // clienteBindingSource.DataSource = context.Clientes.Where(c => c.Nome == textBoxValor.Text).ToList();
            clienteBindingSource.DataSource = context.Clientes
                .Where(comboBoxCampoPesquisa.SelectedValue.ToString() + " == @0", textBoxValor.Text)
                .ToList();
        else
            clienteBindingSource.DataSource = context.Clientes.Local.ToBindingList();

        dataGridView.Refresh();
    }

Verificando se funciona:

Por fim, como quero pesquisar não pelo texto exato, mas por uma parte dele, posso fazer o seguinte:
    protected void Filtrar(bool checkFiltrar)
    {
        if (checkFiltrar)
            // clienteBindingSource.DataSource = context.Clientes.Where(c => c.Nome == textBoxValor.Text).ToList();
            clienteBindingSource.DataSource = context.Clientes
                // .Where(comboBoxCampoPesquisa.SelectedValue.ToString() + " == @0", textBoxValor.Text)
                .Where(comboBoxCampoPesquisa.SelectedValue.ToString() + ".Contains(@0)", textBoxValor.Text)
                .ToList();
        else
            clienteBindingSource.DataSource = context.Clientes.Local.ToBindingList();

        dataGridView.Refresh();
    }

Converter o Enum para um operador String fica como lição de casa.

Apicomplexa (do latim apex, ponta ou topo + complex, trançado + a, sufixo) é um grande grupo taxonómico de protozoários, com cerca de 5000 espécies, caracterizados pela presença de um tipo de plastídeo, o apicoplasto, e um complexo apical nos estágios esporozoíto e merozoíto de seu ciclo de vida.

São seres unicelulares, formadores de esporos, parasitas intracelulares obrigatórios (agem igual aos vírus) e não apresentam flagelos nem pseudópodes, a não ser em certos gametas. O táxon antigo Sporozoa foi criado por Schrevel em 1971 e agrupado com Apicomplexa junto com Ascetosporea, Microsporidia e Myxosporida. Este agrupamento não é mais válido biologicamente e seu uso é desencorajado.

Muitas espécies são nocivas ao homem causando doenças, como por exemplo:
 Babesiose (Babesia)
 Malária (Plasmodium)
 Formas de coccidiose incluem:
 Criptosporidíase (Cryptosporidium parvum)
 Ciclosporíase (Cyclospora cayetanensis)
 Isosporíase (Isospora belli)
 Toxoplasmose (Toxoplasma gondii)

Possui duas formas de reprodução assexuada: a divisão múltipla e a esporogonia.

Relações filogenéticas
Foram raramente estudadas ao nível de subclasse. Morrison usando dados moleculares mostrou que haemosporidia são relacionados à gregarinas e que os piroplasmas e coccídios são grupos irmãos. Outros estudos sugerem que haemosporidia e piroplasmas parecem ser clados irmãos e são mais intimamente relacionados aos coccídios do que as gregarinas.

Transposons parecem ser raros neste filo mas foram identificados no gênero Ascogregarina e Eimeria.

Características morfológicas gerais

Todos os membros deste filo têm um estágio infeccioso — o esporozoíto — que possui três estruturas distintas no complexo apical. O complexo apical consiste de um conjunto de microtúbulos dispostos em espiral (conoide), uma organela secretora (roptrias), e um ou mais anéis polares. Corpos secretores adicionais, delgados e elétron-densos (micronema) cercados por um ou dois anéis polares podem também estar presentes. É esta estrutura que dá o nome ao filo.

Um outro grupo de organelas esféricas são distribuídos por toda a célula em vez de estar localizada no complexo apical e são conhecidas como grânulos densos. Têm tipicamente um diâmetro médio de cerca de 0,7 micrômetros. A secreção do conteúdo ocorre após a invasão do parasita e posterior localização dentro do vacúolo parasitário, e pode persistir por vários minutos.

Outras descobertas morfológicas que são comuns a todos os membros deste filo incluem:

O núcleo é haploide.
Flagelos são encontrados somente no gameta móvel. São ordenados posteriormente e variam em número (geralmente de um a três).
Corpos basais estão presentes.
A mitocôndria tem crista tubular.
O aparelho de Golgi está presente.
Centríolos, cloroplastos, organelas ejetoras e inclusões estão absentes.
Plastídeos incolores estão presentes em algumas espécies.
A célula é cercada por uma película de três membranas celulares (estrutura alveolar) penetrada por micróporos.

Replicação:

Mitose: geralmente fechada por um fuso intranuclear; em algumas espécies é aberta nos pólos
Divisão celular: geralmente por esquizogonia
Meiose: ocorre no zigoto

Outros aspectos comuns neste filo são a reprodução sexual, uso de micrósporos para alimentação, movimento do corpo por flexão ou deslizamento, produção de cistos contendo esporozoítos como forma infectante e a ausência de cílios.

Grounding the coax cable with a coaxial lighting surge protector will protect your equipment from voltage surges created by nearby strikes but not from a direct strike. To protect yourself from a direct strike, attach a lightening arrester to the antenna mast. Connect #8 gauge wire to a copper clad ground rod driving it at least 4 feet into the ground.
We would also recommend checking your local electrical codes to make sure you are in compliance or even look into having a professional electrician advise and/or install for you. View this list of recommended antenna installers.

In one of my articles, we looked at how to build a backyard fish pond, in this article however we will be looking at how to clean our fish pond. As we noted earlier installing a fish pond can liven up any Landscape and Garden area providing lots of fun for adults as well as kids.
But in order for us to enjoy our fish pond, we are faced with the challenge of keeping it clean so that our fish will not only stay healthy but the pond itself would not become an eyesore. Many companies charge a fee to come and give our ponds a good cleaning. These fees can become very hefty base on the condition of your pond.
This article was written as a DIY (do it yourself ) guide. If you are willing to take on the challenge and don't mind getting dirty along with saving on that pond cleaning bill then this article is for you, so with that said let's look at pond cleaning more closely.
Why and when should I clean my fish pond?
As the debris decomposes or breaks down this process produces carbon dioxide when this happens there is less oxygen in the pond for fish to survive. Overfeeding your pond fish can threaten the survival of your fish, the uneaten food settles at the bottom of the pond begins to break down when this happens chemicals releases from this uneaten food can become harmful to your fish.
Decomposing leaves also causes the water to become cloudy and muddy which is not good for our pond fish and would become an eyesore instead of a work of beauty.
Also, the uneaten foods over a period of time can change the water's ph causing it to become acidic which is not good for pond fish, this can cause algae to develop. What we have just read can cause our pond fish to become stress, not to mention overworking the filter because of the mass build up of debris.
A good time to give your pond a good cleaning is in the spring when the ice is melting and nature is waking up from that long winter nap. Your fish will love you for it as you do some spring cleaning ensuring that they remain healthy at all times.
1. Place pump in the pond, 2. Take the tubing that is attached to the pump and place in children's inflatable pool. The pool serves to collect the dirty pond water as it is being removed from the pond or if you prefer you can place the tubing in your garden beds and let the water run off there. This water will give your plants a good drink of water. 3. As the water begins to lower collect enough of the existing water from the pond in a bucket and with net catch fish and place them in the bucket.
You may be wondering why use existing water from the fish pond to put fish in when you can just use clean fresh water? Well the answer to that question is the fish is already adapted to the pond existing water as far as their body temperature is concern, to take them immediately out of the existing pond water and place them in a bucket of fresh clean water where their bodies are not adjusted as far as temperature is concern can have a negative reaction to fish and can cause them to go into shock.
4. You can then begin to remove debris with a net, also remove lilies from the pond. This is also a good time to clean any dead leaves of water lilies. With debris and lilies removed use a pond vacuum to remove remaining water along with small debris.
5. Use a garden hose and begin to wash pond out, then replace potted lilies back into the pond and begin to fill the pond with fresh water. As the pond is being filled place bucket with fish in water, do not remove fish from the bucket but allow the bucket to sit with fish in the water so fish can adjust to fresh water.
6. Well, water is best to use but if you have to use city water you can always treat the water with a water treatment. After bucket have been sitting in water for 10-15 minutes you can then release fish from the bucket back into the pond.
Regular maintenance consists of checking skimmer basket at least every two to three days and emptying the basket of leaf content. Use a leaf net to remove leaves from the surface of the pond. But for leaves that are at the very bottom of the pond, you would use a leaf vacuum.
Attach the garden hose to vacuum, once the vacuum is at the bottom of pond go ahead and turn on the hose. Leaves at the bottom will begin to fill the net. When the net is filled remove and empty, repeat process until the bottom of the pond is swept clean.
It may seem to be a lot of work but it will pay off in the long run as far as the survival of your fish is concerned and with you saving a few bucks.
I really enjoyed reading this very thorough article about cleaning a fish pond. I am one of those people who would have an eyesore if I had a fish pond. I like that your article gave very detailed instructions as well as important tips, like not putting the fish into water that they were not acclimated to. My only suggestion would be that you increase your font size a bit.
Hello Kathy it is so goo to meet you, I am happy that I could help and I will see about font size all the best to you and have a good night.
You know I just kind of assumed that having a fish pond in the yard, meant "care-free" and no worries. I can see now that fish health is important and that it can get dirty. I am sure this is because there is no inlet/outlet of water? If you have a pond that is continuously fed by a stream, I would think that cleaning would be unnecessary?
Hello Matt's Mom happy Saturday and It is always my pleasure. Fish business can be fun, a pond can reallly give your garden area a face lift, it dose require some work but it is worth it. Thanks again all the best to you and have a good day.
I liked this post and had one more question for you. I am assuming that the Oase Pondovac 4 Professional Kio Pond Water Garden and Vacuum System you have suggested to use is for larger sized ponds? The equipment looks like it might be overkill for the size of pond I am considering. Or am I incorrect in my assumption?
Hello Matt's Mom it is always good to meet you thanks for your support and I hope all is well. This Pond Vacuum is top of the line and serves so many purpose besides cleaning Garden Ponds this Vacuum can aslo clean Swim ponds, Pools etc… so this really is a great investement. Don't mind how it looks. Hope this helps, all the best to you my dare lady have a nice day. And please free and give me a shout if you need my help or advice.
This was super informative. I feel like this is really going to help me to maintain my fish pond in the future! I was just wondering where you get your cleaning products from because I'm struggling to find some where with quality products? I've also had issues where our fish health quality seems to be quite low. Have you got any advice for this? Thanks!
Hello Adam it is so good to meet you, one thing you can do is check the water quality of you pond. A build up of leaves and other organic material in pond can cause toxins to build up. Also over feeding fish to the point where uneaten fish food lays at bottom of pond and begin to decompose can change water ph having a negative impact on fish. City water can also have a negative impact. there can be other reasons but start here. You can purchase water treatments beside giving pond a good cleaning if you have to. To find out where to purchase products just go back to my webpage and click on highlighted blue words to get information. All the best to you and if I can be of any help in the future please let me know. All the best and have a good day.
Hello, this was a very exciting site to read. I am an avid gardener. Your site is so interesting and so much you can do with it. I did not find anywhere on your site anything about USDA growing zones. When you live in Minnesota this is all you think about zone 5 = burr! It would be lovely if you add to your plant collection which zones each of these beauties could be grown in. For example, palms, absolutely can't grow outside in MN but are kept as an indoor plant. Here a plant may be considered an annual where in Florida they are consider perennials, because our winters kill them off. Very important distinction. Also, your website would reach even more readers if you addressed things like how to winterize, covering with mulch, winterizing bulbs, cutting back in fall.
I absolutely loved the sections on how to create the different type of gardens. Keep going, great site.
Hello Michelle it is so good to meet you and thanks a million for those kind words. You advice is greatly receive and I will do my best to create a few post with this information. Wishing you all the best and If you ever need my advice please give me a shout I will be more than happy to help. Have a good day.
I have read the precedent post about how to built a fish pond, and this article is exactly what I needed to complete the guide. I don't know if you remember, but I've asked you if mosquitoes won't be a problem when having a fish pond in the backyard. I know, I have developed an obsession about mosquitoes:) I don't really like them very much:) They wake me up in the middle of the night!
So my question is. Is this machine will help decrease the number of mosquitoes as well?
Oh, I almost forgot. Do you ship out of the US?
Hello Daniella it is my pleasure as always to help you. I am glad that you are enjoying these articles and they are helping you. To my knowledge I thought that I had send you some information about mosquito control around the pond. 1. keep the garden area especially around pond free of weeds because mosquitoes love to rest on weeds, 2 make sure that there is no open containers laying around that can collect water, 3. certain plants can collect water in the centre cup that would encourage mosquitoes to lay eggs, if you have plants like these make sure to remove water by using a turkey baster, 4. and you can add these mosquito repelling plants around you pond area to keep them away. 1. Basil can repel mosquito and you can also cook with them, 2. Rosemary also repels mosquito and can be use to cook with, so with these two herbs you get the best of both world, they can repel and you can spruce up your dishes.
4. Marigolds can be planted. 5. then you have Citronella plants that is also effective. These are just a few that you can try. As far as making a purchase just go back to page and click on blue highlighted word and you will be taken to the site with information. Thanks for your support and If there is anything that I can help you with please give me a shout thanks.
Cleaning and maintaining a fish pond isn't easy work. But your guide provided useful tips and explained things well. The list was also great cause I can just copy that list and take it to the store. Cleaning in the Spring is a great idea, they'll have a fresh pond for the warm weather. The maintenance may help to reduce the frequency in which you have to do a major cleaning. Thanks again.
Hello Tugarcia it is so good to meet you, I am glad that I could help. If there is any questions that you need and answer to please give me a shout. All the best to you and have a good day.
Hello here. It seems that there is a lot of work to do regarding the cleaning of the fish pond.
From the other side, if we want to enjoy healthy fish, have nice water plants, we must maintain surroundings for fish and other living beings in the pond.
I guess that not everybody knows how to clean fish pond and what kind of tools supposed to be used for maintenance.
Your article will help your visitors to pick the right time for cleaning, choose right tools which will help to keep the fish pond in the good condition.
Hello idahlady it is so good to meet you, Thanks for those kind words. In order to reach the site to view full details of pump just go back to page and click words that is highlighted in blue this will take you to where you want to go, thanks again all the best to you and have a good day.
I appreciated how well-organized the entire article was. A list of tools needed and a simple, straightforward step-by-step process is exactly what I would want to see in a self-help article if I had a fish pond to clean.
I would need it, too. I'm one of those absent-minded people that could probably go for days without it occurring to me that the fish pond I had installed does need to be cleaned regularly. I'd be coming back to this article 5 or 6 times at least before I learned that lesson. Very helpful post.
Also, just thought I should maybe point out a minor typo in the article. In the article's third paragraph you typed "challenge" as "challage". Sorry to be that guy.
I've had a go at cleaning a fish pond with my dad once, and it was a massive job! We first had to move the fish somewhere safe (and they were whoppers) and then we had to completely drain the pond which seemed to take forever.
I sure could have done with reading this article back then LOL.
Your getting "down and dirty" tips are very much appreciated and will certainly help me the next time I decide to empty and clean our fish pond.


Surfing is, undoubtedly, a fun and rigorous workout. Knowledge about what to eat not just before but even after you surf is important if you want to improve your surfing performance. After all, your body is the vital constituent you are depending upon. So, when surfing for long hours, it is essential to give your body the care and attention it deserves – and that's where coconut water comes in!
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! It is mandatory to refuel and recharge your body immediately after your surf session, so try to ensure you make healthy nutritional choices to speed up your post-surfing recovery process. When we talk of healthy nutritional choices, one thing that should be on top of your post-surfing recovery list ought to be natural coconut water and yet another great thing about surfing in Bali is that fresh coconuts can be found almost everywhere in abundance.
Dubbed Mother Nature's sports drink, electrolyte-rich coconut water is an awesome rejuvenating drink everyone simply loves! The mere idea of sticking a straw (non plastic of course) into a fresh, green coconut for quenching your thirst is enticing. After all, coconuts are not merely a garnishing drink to be taken along on any tropical beach. This wonderful gift from nature has already become one of the top sports drink choices for almost all surfers, not to forget the yoga lovers, gym hitters and healthy lifestyle guru's.
Natural coconut water is a boon for re-hydration due to its high electrolyte content. So, it rejuvenates your muscles, brain function and nerve transmissions quite fast.
Coconut water is abundantly rich in sodium and potassium. It also has manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and zinc in just the right amounts to give a quick boost to your body after a grueling post-surfing session. No wonder, it has a remarkable edge over unnatural tasting, sugary sports drinks.
It contains just 5mg of natural sugars whilst some energy and sports drinks contain between 10-25mg of altered sugars.
It's an isotonic solution that refuels your body with the minerals and the fluids it loses during surfing making you feel hydrated and energised in no time.
Natural coconut water has just a mere 46 calories per serving which is nothing compared to what you just burned off during your surf session!
Apart from being remarkably delicious and a great recovery drink, it is unsweetened, allergy and gluten free.
It contains potassium which is instrumental in keeping your kidney and heart healthy alongside keeping your blood pressure low.
Our potential to be a great surfer becomes limitless when we are adequately hydrated and fueled. This is especially true when we are partaking in an outdoor, water based activity where we have to spend long hours exposed to the sun. So take care of your body, only then it can take care of you.
Are you already going nuts over this amazing drink?
Thank Mother Nature for this wonderful gift called coconut water and keep surfing!

Q: How can I use the .Show() method in such a way the user can't click other forms already opened in background? Now i'm using a'jobdone' flag and the following behaviour (that it looks quite horrible to me...):
Dim NewLoginForm As New LoginClass

LoginClass.jobdone = False

NewLoginForm.Show()

While (LoginClass.jobdone = False)

    Application.DoEvents()

End While

NewLoginForm.Close()

If I try to use ShowDialog() the behaviour is better but it's a problem to manage all the opening and closing windows (if the forms are many) and I notice that all the background already opened forms close themselves either if one ShowDialog() form is closed...
Thanks

A: Ran a quick test and this worked perfectly:
Public Sub ForceOpen(ByRef frm As Form)
    frm.Show()
    For Each otherForm As Form In Application.OpenForms
        If otherForm Is frm Then
            AddHandler frm.FormClosing, AddressOf BlockFormClosing
        Else
            otherForm.Enabled = False
        End If
    Next
End Sub

Public Sub BlockFormClosing(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs)
    e.Cancel = True
End Sub

Public Sub EnableOpenForms()
    For Each frm As Form In Application.OpenForms
        frm.Enabled = True
        RemoveHandler frm.FormClosing, AddressOf BlockFormClosing
    Next
End Sub

The calling form will open the stay-open form with ForceOpen(FormStayOpen). When the stay-open form's conditions for allowing the user to close it have been satisfied, have it call EnableOpenForms().

In ten years we will look back and wonder why we were so reluctant to act on the evidence we have today, linking gum infections with heart and lung disease, dementia and certain cancers. The research has clearly established the link. This is irrefutable.
The final controversy lies in whether or not treating your gum disease will really decrease your risk of systemic disease. Unfortunately, this will take a long time to prove beyond any doubt, even though more and more researchers are convinced and actively gathering evidence.
In the meantime, I believe the prudent thing is to eliminate gum infections and free up your immune system to support a healthy heart and mind. The treatment is relatively inexpensive and easy. It does require a lifestyle change but the benefits go far beyond eliminating bad breath and keeping your teeth for the rest of your life.


My trips to the library make me feel like a kid in a candy store (Or more like: the little girl watching Disney's Beauty and the Beast for the first time, awestruck at the huge library with floor to ceiling books and ladders on wheels– that is my dream library!!). Once I get started in one of my favorite sections (cooking, social history or crime novels), I tend to walk out of there with anywhere from 5 (if I've behaved) to 10 books or more. Luckily, libraries are free, if I remember to return or renew on time, and we have an awesome library system where I live.
Moosewood Restaurant New Classics is the second Moosewood book I've checked out, and it's every bit as good as the previous one. Moosewood is a natural foods restaurant catering to vegetarians and vegans, and they put out a new cook book every few years. If you don't eat vegetarian food on a regular basis, their food will blow your mind. Healthy– yes, but also creative, tasty and satisfying. And, carnivores can add meat to most dishes if they like.
1. Is it available in the library? If yes, check it out! (This is pretty much my first step, I tend to avoid purchasing cookbooks in stores on impulse without researching first… I don't have enough shelf space to do this anymore).
2. Are there at least ten recipes that I want to make? If yes, I mark those with sticky notes for future reference.
3. Did I make 3-5 of the recipes that I wanted to make, time permitting? Did I like how the food turned out?
4. If I answer yes to #2 and #3, then I look for the book on Amazon.com and either add it to my cart or my wishlist for a future purchase or gift.
If there's only one or two recipes that I like, I'll write those down on a notepad and return the book to the library.
Curried Lentil Dip (great served with veggies or even as a sauce for other dishes-like Khitcheree).
5 recipes made is pretty good for me, especially when I have four other cookbooks I'm reading simultaneously… though this one is definitely one of my favs.
All in all, a great book, with helpful information about food- types of beans, seaweed, etc. and ordering information for some of the more exotic or hard to find items interspersed throughout the text. I will be very sad when I have to return this book… I may just have to make it a permanent member of my collection.
Note: the author of this blog has no affiliation with Moosewood or the publisher, and received no compensation for this post.
