ZendOAuth2Client maybe?
Recently I've been working a lot on trying to get OAuth2 support into beta 4 of Zend Framework 2, and there were a few challenges. Allowing the client to consume the variety of providers out there proved to be the first. There have been several drafts of the OAuth2 specification, and providers have implemented a variety of the drafts. As each of the drafts have subtle differences, the client needs to be able to have a default configuration that can be over-ridden on a per-provider basis.
OAuth 2 is a 2-step process that I like to think of in 4-steps, that allows an application to retrieve an access token that can be used to request further information on the logged in user from the API:
 - Client sends request to the OAuth2 server containing the unique application identifier and the scope of access the application requires.
 - The server responds with an encrypted response containing a time-sensitive code that can be exchanged for an access token.
 - Client decrypts the code, and send it back to the server.
 - Server responds with an access_code and it's expiry time.
The solution we came up with was to have an options class for each stage of the authentication process that contains the name of each parameter, plus a default value. Individual vendor configs can overwrite both the key name, and it's value, or for more specific providers it can be set at run-time (or new a vendor config file can be created). The idea is to support out-of-the-box as many common vendors as possible, so that Mr End User can simply do:
$OAuth2 = new Client(new ClientOptionsVendorGoogle());
$token = $OAuth2->getAccessToken();
Overwriting certain parameters for a specific implementation is also very easy. A good example is Facebook. The specification dictates that the stage 2 response returns an access code, and the number of seconds before that code will expire. The spec also says this parameter should be named "expires_in", however when Facebook coded their implementation, the field was named "expires". Using the simple overloading method, we can easily make this change in the vendor specific config:
$this->vendorOptions = new VendorOptions(array(
 'authEntryUri' => '_URL_
 'tokenEntryUri' => '_URL_
 'responseFormat' => 'urlencode',
 'headers' => array(),
));
$this->stage2Response->expiresIn->accessKey = 'expires';
We set up some vendor specific uris, and then tell the config that the stage 2 response "expires_in" key is actually named "expires".
I'm pretty excited about how this has turned out, now all we need to do is to come to some kind of concencious on where in the framework this code will live. For more discussion, join the action in #zftalk.2 on Freenode.
One thought on "ZendOAuth2Client maybe?
 1. I stumbled upon this while looking into Oauth 2 integration with ZF2 myself, and it looks like as of ZF2 2.0.0beta4 there's a ZendOAuthClient implementation, does this mean what you were working on was implemented? If so congratulations!

Does a woman's secretion nullify ablution and is it considered an impurity? – Ustadh Abdus Shakur Brooks
Answered by Ustadh Abdus Shakur Brooks
The maliki fiqh texts always talk about "the two passages" (sabeelayn) but in a woman's case, she has three passages. Also, if a woman is healthy, she is never dry. She constantly secretes vaginal fluid. If she did not, she would actually be suffering from vaginal atrophy. My question is this: Many scholars seem to say that such secretion would require her to make ablution again, but it seems maybe they are making an analogy with me because her situation is different because she secrets all the time. Some women more, some less, but the point is, it's a constant state, like saliva is for the mouth.
In Mukhtasar Khalil it mentions in the chapter of impurities that wetness of the vagina (which is what comes from secretion) is an impurity. This could be found in the commentaries of Khalil namely that of Shaykh Dardir (h.1201) and al-Hattab (h.954) both of which are two highly relied upon works in the Maliki mathab. Furthermore Al-Qadi Abd al-Wahab al-Baghdadi (h.422) mentions in his famous work al-Talqeen that everything that comes out of the vagina is an impurity. Researching the matter, I find that the scholars although they mention it as an impurity they never mention that it nullifies ablution. Furthermore, in the chapter concerning what nullifies ablution, wetness of the vagina is not one of those six things that come from a person's mid section that nullify ablution, therefore it is not to be assumed that it nullifies ablution unless we find the scholars explicitly stating such. Lastly there is another matter to consider, there are women who secret almost all the time as you mentioned which means that they will always be in need of washing the mid section before every prayer which is difficult. In the Maliki mathab there is a general rule concerning the removal of impurities and that is "impurities that are difficult to avoid are excusable". What that means is that a person is excused from having to remove it for the sake of prayer. This rule is mentioned in Mukhtasar Khalil briefly and its commentaries elaborate on the matter.

Get and set add-in metadata for an Outlook add-in
Office Add-ins
Learn to load and store custom data that only your Outlook add-in can access - through roaming settings and custom properties.
Last modified: December 16, 2015
Applies to: apps for Office | Office Add-ins | Outlook
In this article
Custom data per mailbox: roaming settings
Custom data per item in a mailbox: custom properties
Additional resources
There are two ways to manage custom data in your Outlook add-in:
 - Roaming settings, which manages custom data for a user's mailbox.
 - Custom properties, which manages custom data for an item in a user's mailbox.
Both of these give access to custom data that is only accessible by your Outlook add-in, but each method stores the data separately from the other. That is, the data stored through roaming settings is not accessible by custom properties, and vice versa. The data is stored on the server for that mailbox, and is accessible in subsequent Outlook sessions on all the form factors that the add-in supports.
You can specify data specific to a user's Exchange mailbox using the RoamingSettings object. Examples of such data include the user's personal data and preferences. Your mail add-in can access roaming settings when it roams on any device it's designed to run on (desktop, tablet, or smartphone).
Changes to this data are stored on an in-memory copy of those settings for the current Outlook session. You should explicitly save all the roaming settings after updating them so that they will be available the next time the user opens your add-in, on the same or any other supported device.
Roaming settings format
The data in a RoamingSettings object is stored as a serialized JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) string. The following is an example of the structure, assuming there are three defined roaming settings named add-in_setting_name_0, add-in_setting_name_1, and add-in_setting_name_2.
{
 "add-in_setting_name_0":"add-in_setting_value_0",
 "add-in_setting_name_1":"add-in_setting_value_1",
 "add-in_setting_name_2":"add-in_setting_value_2"
}
Loading roaming settings
A mail add-in typically loads roaming settings in the Office.initialize event handler. The following JavaScript code example shows how to load existing roaming settings and get the values of 2 settings, "customerName" and "customerBalance":
var _mailbox;
var _settings;
var _customerName;
var _customerBalance;
// The initialize function is required for all add-ins.
Office.initialize = function () {
 // Initialize instance variables to access API objects.
 _mailbox = Office.context.mailbox;
 _settings = Office.context.roamingSettings;
 _customerName = _settings.get("customerName");
 _customerBalance = _settings.get("customerBalance");
}
Creating or assigning a roaming setting
Continuing with the preceding example, the following JavaScript function, setAddInSetting, shows how to use the RoamingSettings.set method to set a setting named cookie with today's date, and persist the data by using the RoamingSettings.saveAsync method to save all the roaming settings back to the server. The set method creates the setting if the setting does not already exist, and assigns the setting to the specified value. The saveAsync method saves roaming settings asynchronously. This code sample passes a callback method, saveMyAddInSettingsCallback, to saveAsync. When the asynchronous call finishes, saveMyAddInSettingsCallback is called by using one parameter, asyncResult. This parameter is an AsyncResult object that contains the result of and any details about the asynchronous call. You can use the optional userContext parameter to pass any state information from the asynchronous call to the callback function.
// Set a roaming setting.
function setAddInSetting() {
 _settings.set("cookie", Date());
 // Save roaming settings for the mailbox
 // to the server so that they will be available
 // in the next session.
 _settings.saveAsync(saveMyAddInSettingsCallback);
}
// Callback method after saving custom roaming settings.
function saveMyAddInSettingsCallback(asyncResult) {
 if (asyncResult.status == Office.AsyncResultStatus.Failed) {
 // Handle the failure.
 }
}
Removing a roaming setting
Also extending the preceding examples, the following JavaScript function, removeAddInSetting, shows how to use the RoamingSettings.remove method to remove the cookie setting and save all the roaming settings back to the Exchange Server.
// Remove an add-in setting.
function removeAddInSetting()
{
 _settings.remove("cookie");
 // Save changes to the roaming settings for the mailbox
 // to the server so that they will be available
 // in the next session.
 _settings.saveAsync(saveMyAddInSettingsCallback);
}
You can specify data specific to an item in the user's mailbox using the CustomProperties object. For example, your mail add-in could categorize certain messages and note the category using a custom property messageCategory. Or, if your mail add-in creates appointments from meeting suggestions in a message, you can use a custom property to track each of these appointments. This ensures that if the user opens the message again, your mail add-in does not offer to create the appointment a second time.
Similar to roaming settings, changes to custom properties are stored on in-memory copies of the properties for the current Outlook session. To make sure these custom properties will be available in the next session, save all the custom properties to the server.
These add-in-specific, item-specific custom properties can only be accessed by using the CustomProperties object. These properties are different from the custom, MAPI-based, UserProperties in the Outlook object model, and extended properties in Exchange Web Services (EWS). You cannot access CustomProperties by using the Outlook object model or EWS.
However, a mail add-in can get MAPI-based extended properties by using the EWS GetItem operation. Access GetItem on the server side by using a callback token, or on the client side by using the mailbox.makeEwsRequestAsync method. In the GetItem request, specify the custom extended properties you need in a property set. A mail add-in can also use makeEwsRequestAsync and EWS CreateItem and UpdateItem operations to create and modify extended properties.
For more information about MAPI properties, Outlook UserProperties, EWS extended properties, using the callback token mechanism and makeEwsRequestAsync, see the _URL_ section.
Using custom properties
Before you can use custom properties, you must load them by calling the loadCustomPropertiesAsync method. If any custom properties are already set for the current item, they are loaded from the Exchanger server at this point. After you have created the property bag, you can use the set and get methods to add and retrieve custom properties. To save any changes that you make to the property bag, you must use the saveAsync method to persist the changes on the Exchange server.
Note Note
Because Outlook for Mac doesn't cache custom properties, if the user's network goes down, mail add-ins in Outlook for Mac would not be able to access their custom properties.
Custom properties example
The following example shows a simplified set of methods for an Outlook add-in that uses custom properties. You can use this example as a starting point for your add-in that uses custom properties.
This example includes the following methods:
 - Office.initialize — Initializes the add-in and loads the custom property bag from the Exchange server.
 - customPropsCallback — Gets the custom property bag that is returned from the server and saves it for later use.
 - updateProperty — Sets or updates a specific property, and then saves the change to the server.
 - removeProperty — Removes a specific property from the property bag, and then saves the removal to the server.
var _mailbox;
var _customProps;
// The initialize function is required for all add-ins.
Office.initialize = function () {
 _mailbox = Office.context.mailbox;
 _mailbox.item.loadCustomPropertiesAsync(customPropsCallback);
}
// Callback function from loading custom properties.
function customPropsCallback(asyncResult) {
 if (asyncResult.status == Office.AsyncResultStatus.Failed) {
 // Handle the failure.
 }
 else {
 // Successfully loaded custom properties,
 // can get them from the asyncResult argument.
 _customProps = asyncResult.value;
 }
}
// Get individual custom property.
function getProperty() {
 var myProp = custom

Do you want to study in Spain your secondary education? Understanding the differences Spain vs HK-UK
Hong Kong is one of the cities in the world with the biggest number of international schools available. Many parents in Hong Kong have considered sending their kids to study overseas. So how does the education system in Hong Kong compare to Spain?
Many International Schools in Hong Kong follow the British system. This means that students study in secondary school from year 7 (10-11 years old) till year 11 (15-16 years old). In year 11 students will take the GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) public exam.
So what is the GCSE exam equivalent to? In Spain it is called ESO (Educación Secundaria Obligatoria). However please note that in order to pass the ESO in Spain, there are no public exams to be taken, students only need to pass the internal exams set by the school.
Therefore if you have passed the GCSE it is equivalent to the ESO.
In Hong Kong and also in UK after the GCSE's people would take the IB (International Baccalaureate) which the equivalent in Spanish is el Bachillerato. However there are certain differences, during the IB students only need to study for 6 subjects, while for Bachillerato there are a total of 8 subjects that you have to take. Another main difference is that the whole of you final grade of IB depends on your final exam, while for Bachillerato the final exam is only 40% of your final grade.

A warrior is a person habitually engaged in combat. In tribal societies, warriors often form a caste or class of their own. In feudalism, the vassals essentially form a military or warrior class, even if in actual warfare, peasants may be called to fight as well. In some societies, warfare may be so central that the entire people (or, more often, the male population) may be considered warriors, for example the Maori or Germanic tribes.
A pre-modern soldier is also called a warrior. The word warrior implies one who is not part of a full-time army. Without strict hierarchial discipline constantly being imposed on them, warriors in pre-modern societies were often guided by societal warrior codes.
Professional warriors are people who are paid money for engaging in military campaigns and fall into one of two categories: Soldiers; when fighting on behalf of their own state, or Mercenaries; when offering their services commercially and unrelated to their own nationality. The classification of somebody who is involved in acts of violence may be a matter of perspective, and there may be disagreement whether a given person is a hooligan, a gangster, a terrorist, a rebel, a freedom fighter, a mercenary or a soldier.

A generalized theory of open quantum systems combined with mean-field theory is used to study a superconducting wire in contact with thermal baths at different temperatures. It is shown that, depending on the temperature of the colder bath, the temperature of the hotter bath can greatly exceed the equilibrium critical temperature, and still the wire remains in the superconducting state, meaning that the effective local temperature in the wire is maintained below the critical temperature. The effects of contact areas and disorder are studied. Finally, an experimental setup is suggested to test our predictions.

HandlerPoint QML Type
An event point. More...
Import Statement: import QtQuick 2.15
Properties
Detailed Description
A QML representation of a QQuickEventPoint.
It's possible to make bindings to properties of a handler's current point or centroid. For example:
import QtQuick 2.12
Item {
 width: 640
 height: 480
 DragHandler {
 id: handler
 target: null
 }
 Text {
 color: handler.active ? "darkgreen" : "black"
 text: handler.centroid.position.x.toFixed(1) + "," + handler.centroid.position.y.toFixed(1)
 x: handler.centroid.position.x - width / 2
 y: handler.centroid.position.y - height
 }
}
The point is kept up-to-date when the DragHandler is actively responding to an EventPoint; but after the point is released, or when the current point is being handled by a different handler, position.x and position.y are 0.
Note: This is practically identical to QtQuick::EventPoint; however an EventPoint is a long-lived QObject which is invalidated between gestures and reused for subsequent event deliveries. Continuous bindings to its properties are not possible, and an individual handler cannot rely on it outside the period when that point is part of an active gesture which that handler is handling. HandlerPoint is a Q_GADGET that the handler owns. This allows you to make lifetime bindings to its properties.
See also SinglePointHandler::point and MultiPointHandler::centroid.
Property Documentation
[read-only] ellipseDiameters : size
This property holds the diameters of the contact patch, if the event comes from a touchpoint and the device provides this information.
A touchpoint is modeled as an elliptical area where the finger is pressed against the touchscreen. (In fact, it could also be modeled as a bitmap; but in that case we expect an elliptical bounding estimate to be fitted to the contact patch before the event is sent.) The harder the user presses, the larger the contact patch; so, these diameters provide an alternate way of detecting pressure, in case the device does not include a separate pressure sensor. The ellipse is centered on scenePosition (position in the PointerHandler's Item's local coordinates). The rotation property provides the rotation of the ellipse, if known. It is expected that if the rotation is zero, the height is the larger dimension (the major axis), because of the usual hand position, reaching upward or outward across the surface.
If the contact patch is unknown, or the device is not a touchscreen, these values will be zero.
See also QtQuick::EventTouchPoint::ellipseDiameters, QtQuick::TouchPoint::ellipseDiameters, and QTouchEvent::TouchPoint::ellipseDiameters.
[read-only] id : int
The ID number of the point
During a touch gesture, from the time that the first finger is pressed until the last finger is released, each touchpoint will have a unique ID number. Likewise, if input from multiple devices occurs (for example simultaneous mouse and touch presses), all the current event points from all the devices will have unique IDs.
Note: Do not assume that id numbers start at zero or that they are sequential. Such an assumption is often false due to the way the underlying drivers work.
See also QTouchEvent::TouchPoint::id.
[read-only] modifiers : enumeration
Which modifier keys are currently pressed
This property holds the keyboard modifiers that were pressed at the time the event occurred.
[read-only] position : QPointF
The position within the parent Item
This is the position of the event point relative to the bounds of the parent.
[read-only] pressPosition : QPointF
The pressed position within the parent Item
This is the position at which this point was pressed, relative to the bounds of the parent.
[read-only] pressedButtons : enumeration
Which mouse or stylus buttons are currently pressed
See also MouseArea::pressedButtons.
[read-only] pressure : qreal
This property tells how hard the user is pressing the stylus on a graphics tablet or the finger against a touchscreen, in the range from 0 (no measurable pressure) to 1.0 (maximum pressure which the device can measure).
It is valid only with certain tablets and touchscreens that can measure pressure. Otherwise, it will be zero.
[read-only] rotation : qreal
This property holds the rotation angle of the stylus on a graphics tablet or the contact patch of a touchpoint on a touchscreen.
It is valid only with certain tablet stylus devices and touchscreens that can measure the rotation angle. Otherwise, it will be zero.
[read-only] sceneGrabPosition : QPointF
The grabbed position within the scene
If this point has been grabbed by a Pointer Handler or an Item, it means that object has taken sole responsibility for handling the movement and the release if this point. In that case, this is the position at which the grab occurred, in the coordinate system of the scene graph.
[read-only] scenePosition : QPointF
The position within the scene
This is the position of the event point relative to the bounds of the Qt Quick scene (typically the whole window).
[read-only] scenePressPosition : QPointF
The pressed position within the scene
This is the position at which this point was pressed, in the coordinate system of the scene graph.
[read-only] uniqueId : PointingDeviceUniqueId
The unique ID of the point, if any
This is normally empty, because touchscreens cannot uniquely identify fingers.
On some types of touchscreens, especially those using TUIO drivers, it's possible to use recognizable physical tokens (fiducial objects) in addition to fingers. So if this point is a touch point, and uniqueId is set, it is the identifier for such an object.
On a graphics tablet, each type of stylus or other tool often has a unique ID or serial number, which can be useful to respond in different ways to different tools.
Interpreting the contents of this ID requires knowledge of the hardware and drivers in use.
See also QTabletEvent::uniqueId, QtQuick::TouchPoint::uniqueId, and QtQuick::EventTouchPoint::uniqueId.
[read-only] velocity : QVector2D
A vector representing the average speed and direction of movement
This is a velocity vector pointing in the direction of movement, in logical pixels per second. It has x and y components, at least one of which will be nonzero when this point is in motion. It holds the average recent velocity: how fast and in which direction the event point has been moving recently.
See also QtQuick::EventPoint::velocity, QtQuick::TouchPoint::velocity, and QTouchEvent::TouchPoint::velocity.

College of the Ozarks Hosts Former POW
January 24, 2014 11:51 AM
College of the Ozarks hosted former POW of Vietnam War retired Colonel Lee Ellis for a "teach-in" December 11, 2013, at 7 p.m., in Jones Auditorium.
"In light of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, College of the Ozarks welcomed Colonel Ellis to give our version of what a 'teach-in' should be," said College of the Ozarks President Jerry C. Davis. "During the '60s and '70s many may recall numerous colleges shutting down classes to hold 'teach-ins,' in order to educate students on what some thought about the Vietnam War. At the College, where patriotism is a main goal, it was only fitting that he hold a 'teach-in' of sorts, too. Only the College's 'teach-in' educated students on the service and sacrifices made by American men and women who served in the Vietnam War and returned from honorable service only to be treated, in many cases, dishonorably."
During the 'teach-in' Colonel Ellis shared his experience at the infamous Camp Hanoi Hilton as a POW and the leadership lessons that helped him and his comrades return home with honor.
He served as an Air Force fighter pilot flying 53 combat missions over North Vietnam. In 1967, his jet was shot down and he held as a POW for more than five years at Camp Hanoi Hilton-the same camp in which Senator John McCain was imprisoned.
After the war Colonel Ellis served as an instructor pilot, chief of flight standardization/evaluation, and flying squadron commander. Additionally, he commanded two leadership development organizations before retiring as a Colonel. His combat decorations include two Silver Stars, the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and the POW Medal.
From March 2013-September 2014, College of the Ozarks has and will celebrate and honor Veterans of the Vietnam War to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the conflict. While our Vietnam Veterans did not receive the appreciation and homecoming they deserved during the 1960s-70s, the College has resolved to properly honor and recognize them for their service and sacrifices and to educate the younger generations on the importance of their selfless contributions to our nation. This teach-in is just one of many events the College has planned to honor Vietnam Veterans.


text: The share of prefabricated modular residential buildings in the Australian construction market is growing mainly because they are quicker to erect on-site than traditional construction, and often cheaper; but how about their carbon footprint and more particularly their thermal performance? To bring some light on this question, this paper uses two case studies where existing prefabricated modular buildings (a detached house and a multi-storey residential building) are compared to their equivalent in traditional on-site construction methods. The thermal performance is assessed using 3D modelling and energy simulation, while carbon footprint is assessed by Life Cycle Analysis. The thermal simulations showed that these prefabricated modular buildings perform better in winter but the study also shows that low inertia modular buildings can require more cooling energy in the summer in certain climate zones. Looking at the overall carbon footprint of the construction elements, the LCA shows that prefabricated buildings are not always less carbon intensive than their traditional equivalent and a wise choice of materials remains a necessity. The discussion emphasises the importance of the local context and particularly the role of thermal inertia in summer for Mediterranean Climate. It also demonstrates the importance of operating energy in the overall carbon footprint of a building and, more generally, how prefabrication can easily achieve a lower carbon footprint than on-site construction.

Quebec produces more than 70 percent of the world's maple syrup and the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers is a cartel every bit as rapacious as OPEC or De Beers. The Federation is government backed and all producers must sell to them.He cites one passage from this story:
To keep prices high, the federation enforces strict quotas for the province's 7,400 producers. Instead of flooding the market during years with bumper crops, all syrup produced beyond that amount is stored in the federation's warehouse, which helps prop up prices by limiting supply. When seasons are lean, it releases the syrup, to maintain stable supply and pricing.This passage alone is not that convincing as one can see that as simply stabilizing prices as opposed to driving them systematically higher. The entire article is worth the read and the Federation does seem to brag about keeping prices high. I do have to make one small protest to its actual pricing evidence:
The federation changed the calculus. In 2003, a majority of federation members voted to make production quotas mandatory, meaning farmers could sell only a certain amount each year. Farmers are required to sell all their syrup through the federation or its designated agents. Under the system, prices have risen to 2.92 Canadian dollars a pound for the highest grades of syrup, from 2.14 Canadian dollars in 2004.This represents a 36% nominal price increase. With Canada's consumer price index have increased by about 20% over the same period, we are talking about a real increase closer to 14%. Then again, I would argue there are close substitutes for Quebec maple syrup but then I may be biased as I love my honey.

About half of immigrant youth of Turkish or North-African origin drop out of high school before getting a diploma. The cause is the low social-economic circumstances of the youth, the other language and the late entrance into high school. This is according to a study of the Open Univesity of Brussels.
Less than 20% of boys and less than 25% of girls of Turkish and North-African origin start higher education. By ethnic Belgians that's 57% of boys and 71% of girls.
More than 40% of Turkish and North-African youth begin secondary education after the age of 12, which means they already have a gap to fill.
The researchers pointed out that it's impossible to catch up on such gaps later on.

Don't know which Coat of Arms is yours?
We can do a genealogical research. Find out the exact history of your family!Learn More
Origins of Howison:
According to the early recordings of the name, this interesting and unique name listed as Howie, Howey, and the patronymics Howieson, Howison, Howisone, and Huison, this famous Scottish name is perhaps geographical from "The lands of How," a now lost estate in the division of Ayrshire. If so the surname is a member of the ever growing list of surnames of the British Islands that start from old sites which are either no longer around or have probably changed their name. Either way, the advancement is from the old British-Strathclyde word hoh, which pre-dates written history. It shows a clear or deep valley, and from which also advanced the surnames How and Howe. As Howie or Howey, it is a little meaning Little How, the addition of -ie or -y being a famous Scottish and North of England attachment, while Howi(e)son is the patronymic to give the son of Howie.

How to: Implement a Property Editor Based on a Custom Control (WinForms)
 - 4 minutes to read
This topic explains how to implement a Property Editor for WinForms applications. For demo purposes, the integer Property Editor based on the NumericUpDown control is implemented in this example.
NOTE
 - You can see the code implemented here in the FeatureCenter Demo, installed with XAF. This demo is located in the %PUBLIC%\Documents\DevExpress Demos 20.2\Components.NET Core Desktop Libraries\eXpressApp Framework\FeatureCenter folder, by default.
 - If you intend to use a DevExpress WinForms control that is not integrated to XAF by default, refer to the How to: Implement a Property Editor Using a DevExpress WinForms Control topic.
Follow these steps to implement a WinForms Property Editor.
 1. In the WinForms module project, inherit the PropertyEditor or WinPropertyEditor class. Note that your editor should be public.
 2. Apply the PropertyEditorAttribute to specify the data type for which the Property Editor will be used (Int32 in this example). If you pass true to the PropertyEditor attribute's last parameter, the Property Editor will be used for all integer properties in any business class.
 3. Override the CreateControlCore method. In this method, instantiate, initialize and return the control instance (the NumericUpDown control in this example).
 4. Determine which event of the control occurs when the editing value is changed by a user (e.g., the NumericUpDown.ValueChanged event). Refer to the control's documentation to find the appropriate event. Subscribe to this event and call the OnControlValueChanged method (which internally raises the PropertyEditor.ControlValueChanged event) from the event handler.
 5. Override the Dispose method and unsubscribe the event handled in the previous step.
 6. Optionally, support the IInplaceEditSupport interface and implement the IInplaceEditSupport.CreateRepositoryItem method. This step is only required if you are going to make the column editable in the editable List View.
The following code demonstrates CustomIntegerEditor class implementation based on the steps above.
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Model;
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Editors;
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Win.Editors;
using DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository;
// ...
[PropertyEditor(typeof(Int32), false)]
public class CustomIntegerEditor : PropertyEditor, IInplaceEditSupport {
 private NumericUpDown control = null;
 protected override void ReadValueCore() {
 if(control != null) {
 if(CurrentObject != null) {
 control.ReadOnly = false;
 control.Value = (int)PropertyValue;
 }
 else {
 control.ReadOnly = true;
 control.Value = 0;
 }
 }
 }
 private void control_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
 if(!IsValueReading) {
 OnControlValueChanged();
 WriteValueCore();
 }
 }
 protected override object CreateControlCore() {
 control = new NumericUpDown();
 control.Minimum = 0;
 control.Maximum = 5;
 control.ValueChanged += control_ValueChanged;
 return control;
 }
 protected override void OnControlCreated() {
 base.OnControlCreated();
 ReadValue();
 }
 public CustomIntegerEditor(Type objectType, IModelMemberViewItem info)
 : base(objectType, info) {
 }
 protected override void Dispose(bool disposing) {
 if(control != null) {
 control.ValueChanged -= control_ValueChanged;
 control = null;
 }
 base.Dispose(disposing);
 }
 RepositoryItem IInplaceEditSupport.CreateRepositoryItem() {
 RepositoryItemSpinEdit item = new RepositoryItemSpinEdit();
 item.MinValue = 0;
 item.MaxValue = 5;
 item.Mask.EditMask = "0";
 return item;
 }
 protected override object GetControlValueCore() {
 if(control != null) {
 return (int)control.Value;
 }
 return null;
 }
}
You can also implement IComplexViewItem in this Property Editor. This interface allows the editor to access the XafApplication instance and use an Object Space to load data from an application database.
To display a particular property using the CustomIntegerEditor Property Editor, customize the Application Model. Invoke the Model Editor for the WinForms module project and navigate to the required BOModel| Class| OwnMembers| Member node. Set the node's IModelCommonMemberViewItem.PropertyEditorType property to CustomIntegerEditor. After this, the property specified by the Member node will be displayed by the CustomIntegerEditor in all Views. To use a CustomIntegerEditor Property Editor in a specific Detail View only, use the PropertyEditorType property of the Views | <DetailView> | Items | <PropertyEditor> node instead.
NOTE
You may need to implement the IAppearanceFormat interface and manually apply the IAppearanceFormat.BackColor, IAppearanceFormat.FontColor and IAppearanceFormat.FontStyle settings of the Conditional Appearance Module to the created control.

Congratulations to David K. Thomson, Winner of 2023 Wiley-Silver Prize
The Center for Civil War Research at the University of Mississippi is proud to announce David K. Thomson as the winner of the 2023 Wiley-Silver Prize for Bonds of War: How Civil War Financial Agents Sold the World on the Union (University of North Carolina Press, 2022). The prize is awarded annually to the best first book published in Civil War history during the preceding year. The full citation from the prize committee is below. For more on the Wiley-Silver Prize, please visit _URL_
Report of the Wiley-Silver Prize Committee on Bonds of War:
"With its clear prose, perceptive analysis, and extensive archival research, David Thomson's Bonds of War explains how the Union financed the Civil War by marketing its securities across the globe and democratizing its debt through public war drives. The international dimensions of Thomson history show us how the cost of the Civil War attracted European investors who owned half of all United States national debt by 1869. Historians who have focused on the neutrality of European governments have missed how these private investors supported the Union war effort. Through impressive archival research in libraries from eight countries, Thomson recovers the stories of these foreign financiers who contributed more than $400 million in war bonds and changed the world financial system by making it interdependent on America's success. Domestically, Thomson follows agents who sold bonds to every corner of the nation. Middle-class Americans who had opened savings accounts before the war redirected their money to higher interest bonds, thus connecting their personal profits to national patriotism. Investors living behind Confederate lines bought bonds to express allegiance or hedge their bets against a losing cause. While other scholars have stressed how Civil War greenbacks revolutionized American currency, Thomson makes a persuasive case for the importance of bonds as democratic agents and financial instruments. His book shows how war bonds raised confidence not only in the United States government but also in investment banking. Looking beyond the Civil War era to these lasting effects, Bonds of War helps to contextualize the Reconstruction railroad bonds and Gilded Age speculations that built modern Wall Street."

If you've been to Maui, there's no missing the huge number of wild chickens on the island. The reason why; hurricanes and storms have freed chickens over the years and there are few predators.
Table of Contents
How Did Chickens Get on Maui?
It's generally understood and believed that the first Polynesian settlers on Maui brought the Red Junglefowl known locally as 'Moa' to the island.
The Red Junglefowl is the closest relative of the domestic chicken we know today. Evidence suggests the domestic chickens were derived from the Red Junglefowl some 8,000 years ago. You can still find this wild bird all over the world though.
The Red Junglefowl would have been introduced to the island as a food source, both for its meat and eggs. We also know that royalty used the colorful feathers of the bird to decorate cloaks and other clothing items.
In later years, more breeds of chickens will have been introduced to the island, as I'm sure some cross-breeding will also have taken place. There aren't many places on earth where people don't want eggs, it's not hard to understand why chickens are present.
Why Are There So Many Chickens in Maui?
Bringing chickens to an island is one thing, having a large number of wild chickens is another.
This is a 'problem' most of the islands of Hawaii have, however.
The short answer as to why there are so many wild chickens on Maui and the other islands in Hawaii is largely due to natural disasters like storms freeing chickens. There are very few predators that prey on the chickens, so they keep rising in numbers.
Two of the main storms that caused a lot of chickens to be 'released' into the wild are hurricanes Iwa and Iniki.
Hurricane Iwa hit the islands in 1982 and caused massive destruction. Thousands of buildings were destroyed and hundreds of people were left homeless. As a result, hundreds of chickens were left to fend for themselves in the wild.
Then hurricane Iniki hit in 1992. Again, this storm caused some serious devastation across the islands. More chickens that were being kept in backyard coops were set free, and the numbers of wild chickens grew more.

What Kind of Chickens Are on Maui?
Due to decades of unsupervised cross-breeding, the chickens on Maui are hybrids of Red Junglefowl and other domestic chickens.
A lot of them do look like Red Junglefowl. The Junglefowl has a fairly distinctive appearance. It has a lot of bright colors, such as red, green, white, gold, orange, and brown in its plumage. A lot of the birds I've seen roaming in Maui are colorful.
One thing I do know is that the locals do not eat these chickens or their eggs. At least, not as far as I was able to tell. Part of the reason is that it's against the law to kill native birds (more on that below), I've also read that people have tried and it didn't taste great.
The eggs are edible, there is no reason why they wouldn't be. But, I don't know of anything that goes around collecting wild eggs to eat for breakfast.
Lack of Predators and Protection Laws on the Islands
There are a lot of locations where wild chickens wouldn't be able to sustain and even grow their numbers. Maui is a little different than your typical urban area though.
If you've never seen Maui, first of all, I have to say you're missing out. Much like all of Hawaii, it's a beautiful, tropical island. This just so happens to be perfect for chickens to live wild, too.
There is plenty of food in the form of berries, plants, and bugs for chickens to eat. Plus, more importantly, there are very few predators to keep the chicken population in check.
This isn't the only reason why the number of wild chickens keeps on growing. There are laws in Hawaii protecting native birds, of which the Red Junglefowl or 'Moa' as it's called is protected.
Therefore, it's illegal to remove, cull, or get rid of any Red Junglefowl. The problem is, due to decades of cross-breeding, it's not always clear if a chicken is 'native' to the island.
There have been some efforts over the years by local governments to remove some of the birds. But as far as I can tell, locals do not think it's been a success or made any real difference to the problem they face with wild chickens.
Related - Why are there so many chickens in Key West?
Now you know, the mystery - which is not so much of a mystery - as to why there are so many chickens in Maui is due to a combination of natural disasters and lack of predators.
Wild chickens in Hawaii have become something of a tourist attraction. There aren't many places in the world where wild chickens and humans live in such close proximity, it's really quite interesting to see.

Linking molecular level mechanisms with macroscopic performance
Predicting the performance of wood for decades ahead is important when using the material for structural purposes. The performance is closely related to the hierarchical material structure of wood and the dependent interaction with water in the structure. Accurately predicting wood performance therefore requires an understanding of material structure from molecular to macroscopic level as well as of the impact of water molecules. The objective of this work is to investigate the performance of wood in terms of mechanical response of the material and effect of water. To understand the latter, one must first know in which parts of the wood structure, water is located. If parts of the water in wood are held in capillaries in the wood structure, these water molecules interact with the material differently than those held within wood cell walls. In this study, the occurrence of capillary water in wood is investigated at high levels of relative humidity (RH), where capillary water might be present. Three different techniques are employed in overlapping RH regimes. The three techniques give similar results and show that the amount of capillary water is insignificant up to at least 99.5 % RH. Thus, for wood in equilibrium with surrounding climate in the RH range 0-99.5 %, water is only significantly present within cell walls. A structural model of a wood cell is developed in this study using Finite Element Method for predicting the mechanical performance of wood. The starting point for the model is the physical behaviour on the molecular level since water interferes with wood at this level. The elastic material properties of the wood cell wall are explained by the organisation of wood constituents and their properties. The effect of water as well as temperature is incorporated by considering the amount of hydrogen bonds between wood constituents and the stiffness of these bonds. The mechanical response of wood includes a substantial time-dependent response, which previously has been explained by sliding between wood constituents on the molecular level. In this study, this is incorporated in the model as time-dependent shearing of the material planes of the cell wall. The calculated results of the model is verified against various experimental results from literature as well as from measurements presented in this work. It is shown that the structural model is able to describe a diverse range of mechanical responses of wood cells in both elastic and time-dependent domains. Furthermore, comparison of results from experiments and model suggests that the mechanical response of wood tissue, i.e. the hierarchical level above single wood cells, is a sum of responses from both wood cells and intercellular layer, i.e. the middle lamella.

Replace stepper motor with ESTUN servo motor-0
 Can stepper motor be replaced with servo motor? The answer is - YES!
 In order to use ESTUN servo drive instead of the stepper motor, it should be noted that the STEP/DIR signal inputs is equipped with all ESTUN drivers except modules with Ethercat communication.
 Setting ESTUN driver:
 1. Match the reference pulse form with the pulse output form from the host controller.
 2. Set the reference unit and electronic gear ratio so that it coincides with the host controller setting.
 3. Turn the power and the servo ON input signal ON.
 4. Send the slow speed pulse reference for the number of servomotor rotation easy to check (for example, one servomotor revolution) from the host controller in advance.
 5. Check the number of reference pulses input to the servo drive by the changed amount before and after the Un013 and Un014(input reference pulsecounter)[pulse] were executed.
 6. Check whether the actual number of servomotor rotations Un009, Un010 coincides with the number of input reference pulses.
 7. Check that the servomotor rotation direction is the same as the reference.
 8. Check the servomotor speed using the Un000 in Monitor Mode.
 If the electrical connection is correctly established, the speed/direction of rotation of the servo motor must match the required speed and direction. In the event of errors, it must be verified that the corresponding control outbound form is selected in parameter Pn004.

Using Presto Auto Scaling with Graceful Decommission - Amazon EMR
Using Presto Auto Scaling with Graceful Decommission
Amazon EMR release versions 5.30.0 and later include a feature you can use to set a grace period for certain scaling actions. The grace period allows Presto tasks to keep running before the node terminates because of a scale-in resize action or an automatic scaling policy request. For more information about scaling rules, see Understanding Automatic Scaling Rules in the Amazon EMR Management Guide. Presto graceful auto scaling prevents new tasks from being scheduled on a node that is decommissioning, while at the same time allowing tasks that are already running to complete before the shut down timeout is reached. Queries that are running will complete execution before the node is decommissioned. Auto scaling is not supported on instance fleets.
You can control how much time to allow for Presto tasks to complete after an auto scale shut down request is received. By default, the shut down timeout for Amazon EMR is 0 minutes, which means that Amazon EMR immediately terminates the node and any Presto tasks running on it, if required by a scale-in request. To set a longer timeout for Presto tasks on Amazon EMR to allow running queries to complete before scaling down a cluster, use the presto-config configuration classification to set the graceful-shutdown-timeout parameter to a value in seconds or minutes greater than zero. For more information, see Configuring Applications.
For example, increasing the graceful-shutdown-timeout value to "30m" specifies a timeout period of 30 minutes. After the shut down timeout period ends, the node marked for decommissioning is forcefully terminated if it is waiting for query tasks to complete, and the query fails. If the query tasks finish in five minutes, the node marked for decommissioning terminates at five minutes, provided other YARN applications have completed execution.
Example Presto Auto Scale Configuration with Graceful Decommission
Replace the graceful-shutdown-timeout value with the number of minutes appropriate for your setup. There's no maximum value. The example below sets a timeout value of 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
[ { "classification": "presto-config", "properties": { "graceful-shutdown-timeout": "1800s" } } ]
PrestoDB graceful decommission does not work on EMR clusters where HTTP connectivity is disabled, such as when http-server.http.enabled is set to false. PrestoSQL does not support graceful decommission at all, regardless of the http-server.http.enabled setting.

Minimum Number of Distinct Eigenvalues of Graphs
Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra
Symmetric matrix, Eigenvalue, Join of graphs, Diameter, Trees, Bipartite graph, Maximum multiplicity
The minimum number of distinct eigenvalues, taken over all real symmetric matrices compatible with a given graph G, is denoted by q(G). Using other parameters related to G, bounds for q(G) are proven and then applied to deduce further properties of q(G). It is shown that there is a great number of graphs G for which q(G)=2. For some families of graphs, such as the join of a graph with itself, complete bipartite graphs, and cycles, this minimum value is obtained. Moreover, examples of graphs Gare provided to show that adding and deleting edges or vertices can dramatically change the value ofq(G). Finally, the set of graphs Gwith q(G) near the number of vertices is shown to be a subset of known families of graphs with small maximum multiplicity

text: Abstract : Diabetic macular edema (DME) is characterized by hard exudates. In this article, we propose a novel statistical atlas based method for segmentation of such exudates. Any test fundus image is first warped on the atlas co-ordinate and then a distance map is obtained with the mean atlas image. This leaves behind the candidate lesions. Post-processing schemes are introduced for final segmentation of the exudate. Experiments with the publicly available HEI-MED data-set shows good performance of the method. A lesion localization fraction of 82.5% at 35% of non-lesion localization fraction on the FROC curve is obtained. The method is also compared to few most recent reference methods.


name=?")
.authoritiesByUsernameQuery("SELECT
member.username, member_role.role as authority
FROM member, member_role WHERE member.username=?
AND member.id=member_role.member_id");
Using Database User Authentication
The configuration of the 'securityDatabase' Data Source above is not shown but it is just like Spring database configuration.
The queries that Spring Security uses by default are:
SELECT username, password, enabled FROM users WHERE username = ?
SELECT username, authority FROM authorities WHERE username = ?
The default statements above assume a database schema similar to:
CREATE TABLE USERS (
USERNAME VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
PASSWORD VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
ENABLED SMALLINT,
PRIMARY KEY (USERNAME)
);
CREATE TABLE AUTHORITIES (
USERNAME VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
AUTHORITY VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY (USERNAME) REFERENCES USERS
);
Notice in the custom queries defined in the slide the 'enabled' part of the query is mapped as 'true' since it is assumed the table referenced does not have this column but Spring Security expects it. If the table does have some column similar to 'enabled' it should map to a boolean type (like a '1' for enabled and '0' for disabled).
The custom queries above would work with a database schema of:
CREATE TABLE MEMBER (
ID BIGINT NOT NULL,
USERNAME VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
PASSWORD VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
);
CREATE TABLE MEMBER_ROLE (
MEMBER_ID BIGINT NOT NULL,
ROLE VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY (MEMBER_ID) REFERENCES MEMBER
);
1.10 LDAP Authentication
It is common to have an LDAP server that stores user data for an entire organization. The first step in using this with Spring Security is to configure how Spring Security will connect to the LDAP server with the ldapAuthentication builder.
auth.ldapAuthentication()
.contextSource()
.url("ldap://localhost").port(389)
.managerDn("cn=Directory Admin")
.managerPassword("ldap");
You can also use a "embedded" LDAP server in a test environment by not providing the 'url' attribute and instead providing ldif files to load
auth.ldapAuthentication()
.contextSource()
.url("ldap://localhost").port(389)
.managerDn("cn=Directory Admin")
.managerPassword("ldap");
LDAP Authentication
The 'manager-dn' and 'manager-password' attributes of <ldap-server> are used for how to authenticate against the LDAP server to query user details. If using the embedded LDAP server the default for the 'root' will be "dc=springframework,dc=org" if you do not supply a value.
In order to configure Spring Security there are a number of attributes related to LDAP that have various defaults that may affect how your LDAP configuration behaves. This slide is meant to simply introduce the feature. One step you should take when attempting to use Spring Security with LDAP is to avoid configuring everything at once. Start with an embedded list of users to test the other configuration settings and then switch to using LDAP. Also try using the embedded LDAP server with an ldif file exported from your LDAP server with a few sample users.
1.11 What is Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)?
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard that allows identity providers (IdP) to pass authorization credentials to service providers (SP). It's a security protocol similar to OpenId, OAuth, Kerberos etc. SAML is the link between the authentication of a user's identity and the authorization to use a service. SAML adoption allows IT shops to use software as a service (SaaS) solutions while maintaining a secure federated identity management system. SAML enables Single-Sign On (SSO), which means users can log in once, and those same credentials can be reused to log into other service providers.
1.12 What is a SAML Provider?
A SAML provider is a system that helps a user access a service they need. There are two primary types of SAML providers, service provider, and identity provider. A service provider needs the authentication from the identity provider to grant authorization to the user. An identity provider performs the authentication that the end user is who they say they are and sends that data to the service provider along with the user's access rights for the service. Microsoft Active Directory or Azure are common identity providers. Salesforce and other CRM solutions are usually service providers, in that they depend on an identity provider for user authentication.
1.13 Spring SAML2.0 Web SSO Authentication
This diagram from wikipedia explains how SAML works:

Pic
Pic source- CC BY-SA 3.0, Link
1. User hits the Service Provider URL Service provider discovers the IDP to contact for authentication
2. Service provider redirects to the corresponding IDP
3. User hits the IDP and identifies the user
4. IDP redirects to the Login form
5. Redirect to Service provider Assertion consumer URL (the URL in Service provider that accepts SAML assertion)
6. SP initiates redirect to target resource
7. Browser requests for the target resource
8. Service provider responds with the requested resource
1.14 Setting Up an SSO Provider
For SAML authentication to work we need an identity provider (IdP). There are various providers, such as Active Directory, Azure, AWS, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Onelogin, etc. Obtain the domain name and fully qualified domain name of the Active Directory server. To enable SSO on Active Directory, the following steps are typically performed:
 - Ensure that LDAP is configured on the Active Directory (AD) server.
 - From the AD Server, run ldp.
 - From the Connections menu, click Connect, and configure Server name, port, and select SSL option.
 - When the LDAP is properly configured, the external domain server details are displayed in the LDP window. Otherwise, an error message
 appears indicating that a connection cannot be made using this feature.
 - When the LDAP is properly configured, the external domain server details are displayed in the LDP window. Otherwise, an error message
 appears indicating that a connection cannot be made using this feature.
1.15 Adding SAML Dependencies to a Project
 Here are the dependencies in Gradle
◊ compile group: 'org.springframework.security', name: 'spring-securitycore', version: "4.2.3.RELEASE"
◊ compile group: 'org.springframework.security', name: 'spring-securityweb', version: "4.2.3.RELEASE"
◊ compile group: 'org.springframework.security', name: 'spring-securityconfig', version: "4.2.3.RELEASE"
◊ compile group: 'org.springframework.security.extensions' , name:
'spring-security-saml2-core' , version : "1.0.2.RELEASE"
1.16 Dealing with the State
Microservices are stateless to achieve scalability and high availability. But you need to keep state in order to maintain position in the client-server conversation, reduce chattiness of the conversation by minimizing client-server round trips. State is maintained either within a client-server session or within a cross-session conversation. State may not need to be maintained outside the established session duration and can be expired.
1.17 How Can I Maintain State?
 You have two options. One is to maiintain state on the service's side. You can use a caching solution or durable store. Here, you may want to configure TTL for session / state to be expired (e.g. for abandoned sessions, timed-out sessions, etc.). Other option is to have the client send its state as part of the request, ie. cookies, custom HTTP headers, part of the request URL (query strings), as part of the payload.
1.18 SAML vs. OAuth2
OAuth is a slightly newer standard that was co-developed by Google and Twitter to enable streamlined internet logins. OAuth uses a similar methodology as SAML to share login information. SAML provides more control to enterprises to keep their SSO logins more secure, whereas OAuth is better on mobile and uses JSON. Facebook and Google are two OAuth providers that you might use to log into other internet sites.
1.19 OAuth2 Overview
OAuth is an authorization method to provide access to resources over the HTTP protocol. It can be used for authorization of various applications or manual user access. It is commonly used as a way for internet users to grant websites or applications access to their information on other websites without giving them the passwords. This mechanism is used by companies, such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, and DropBox, to permit the users to share information about their accounts with third party applications or websites. It allows an application


How to Keep Your Mop Sanitary
Wet mop cleaning wooden floor
The Spruce / Ulyana Verbytska
Mops are great tools for keeping floors clean. Foot traffic can lead to dirt and germs in your house. Even if you sweep or vacuum regularly, mopping is the best way to clean hard floors. A common concern about mopping is its effectiveness. A dirty mop will just move the filth around the house and not clean the floors. However, a clean mop and good mopping technique will effectively remove grime and germs from the floor.
 - Once mildew has begun to grow, the mop is no longer effective as a cleaning tool. Mopping with a mildew-ridden mop will just spread bacteria and odor around your house.
How to Keep a Mop Clean
With a few easy steps, you can keep your mop sanitary so that it successfully cleans your floors.
 - Rinse the mop thoroughly after each use. When you are finished mopping, rinse any cleaning solution and dirt from the mop in a sink until the mop is completely clean. Traces of dirt will spread grime during the next use, and leftover soap residue can damage your mop.
 - Wash your mop. If your mop is machine washable, use the washing machine to clean it. Follow the cleaning directions on the mop. A gentle cycle at the hottest temperature is usually recommended. If the mop head is not machine washable, create a mixture of half water, half bleach in a clean bucket (enough to cover the mop head), and soak the mop head for 15 minutes. Rinse the mixture from the mop until the water runs completely clear.
 - Allow the mop to completely dry. To prevent bacteria growth make sure the mophead is dry before storing it away. To do this, start by wringing the mop out as much as you can. Then place the mop head outside on a clothesline; sunshine will naturally kill bacteria and mold. If that's not possible, stand the mop upright in a bathtub or other well ventilated and dry area. The goal is to avoid mildew and bacteria growth.
 - Store the mop properly. A cool, dry place is a perfect storage location. Try hanging it so the mop head avoids brushing against the floor. If you've allowed the mop to dry thoroughly, the mop should be fine for the next use.
 - Replace the mop head when needed. Prevent your mop from becoming a cleaning hazard by replacing the mop head. Aim for a replacement every two to three months or sooner if it looks very dirty. Your floors are only as clean as your mop head; a soiled and worn mop will not be effective.

Mopping Tips
To keep your house clean, you may want to consider mopping with two buckets. Keep plain water for rinsing in one bucket and detergent in the other bucket. Start with the detergent bucket, mop the floor, and then dip the dirty mop into the rinsing bucket. Squeeze out the water and continue alternating buckets until the floor is done. If either water bucket becomes too soiled, replace it with fresh water and cleaning solution. Try mopping the bathroom last, or even using a separate mop for just the bathroom. These rooms are full of germs and can lead to cross-contamination if a dirty mop gets used around the house.
Finally, although traditional mops are very absorbent and have good scrubbing capacity, you could consider a more hygienic flat mop as a potential alternative.

Is squatting legal in the UK?
Squatting in residential buildings (like a house or flat) is illegal. It can lead to 6 months in prison, a £5,000 fine or both. … Although squatting in non-residential building or land is not in itself a crime, it's a crime to damage the property.
Can I move into an abandoned house?
Yes you can "just move into" an abandoned house, but you must NOT use violence to enter it as that is a crime in itself (Criminal Damage, possibly burglary).. The guidance given back in the heyday of squatting was that an independent person should visit the house and force an entry (break a window, bust down a door).
