In serious news this week, Apple has announced that it's going to launch a dedicated web portal for authenticated law enforcement officers to submit their lawful requests for data, track requests and to obtain responsive data from the company.
Apple is also going to build a team that will train law enforcement officers including developing an online training module for officers to improve Apple's reach and working with small police forces and law enforcement agencies around the world.
The new web portal is part of Apple's new Law Enforcement Support Program and will be available globally when launched at the end of the year.
Apple says that the program will allow it to uphold its fundamental commitment to protect the security and privacy of its users. "We believe that law enforcement agencies play a critical role in keeping our society safe and we've always maintained that if we have information we will make it available when presented with valid legal process. In recognising the ongoing digital evidence needs of law enforcement agencies, we have a team of dedicated professionals within our legal department who manage and respond to all legal requests received from law enforcement agencies globally. Our team also responds to emergency requests globally on a 24/7 basis.
We publish legal process guidelines for government and law enforcement agencies globally and we publish transparency reports twice a year detailing the types of requests we receive and how we respond. In addition, we regularly provide training to law enforcement officers on the types of data available from Apple and how to obtain it consistent with our legal process guidelines.
When requesting customer information and data, Apple require law enforcement and government officials to follow all applicable laws. If they do then Apple will comply with the narrowest possible set of data relevant to the request.
The information can include device identifiers, customer service records and iCloud content including emails, photos, documents, contacts, bookmarks, calendars, Safari browsing history, Apple Maps search history, iMessages backups and iOS device backups. If legally required, Apple may also provide basic customer information such as name, physical and email addresses, phone numbers and IP address along with customer service records and Find My iPhone logs.
Apple has publicly stated that it has not and never will create a security master key or backdoor to any of its products and services and never will. Twice a year Apple publishes a transparency report that outlines how many data-related requests it has received from law enforcement, government and party officials in the US and abroad. In the second half of 2017 in the US alone, Apple received 4450 requests for 15,168 devices. Apple provided data in 3548 cases, approx. 80% of the time. Worldwide Apple received 29,718 requests covering 309,362 devices providing data approx. 79% of the time.
A recent report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies outlined the cybersecurity challenges and digital evidence needs of US law enforcement agencies and made a series of recommendations. Apple adopted all of these and this launch should be seen as a response to them to help law enforcement agencies.

Q: How mapping from Dictionary to column I'd like to mapping from Dictionary that contain objects to exactly column.
Like a pivot table from row to column
How can I do that?
Example

    //This class I would like to Mapping by Fluent nHibernate
    public class TestDict
    {
        public virtual int ID { get; set; }
        public virtual Dictionary<string, IParameter> Dicts { get; set; }

        public TestDict()
        {
            Dicts = new Dictionary<string, IParameter>();
            Dicts.Add("parameter1", new Parameter1());
            Dicts.Add("parameter2", new Parameter2());
        }
    }

    public interface IParameter
    {
        object ParameterValue { get; }
    }

    public class Parameter1 : IParameter
    {
        public virtual object ParameterValue
        {
            get
            {
                return "value1";
            }
        }
    }

    public class Parameter2 : IParameter
    {
        public virtual object ParameterValue
        {
            get
            {
                return 12.3;
            }
        }
    }

I would like to map class TestDict that contain list of IParameter to table and result as below

    ID    | Parameter1     | Parameter2
    --------------------------------------
    1     | value1         | 12.3

How do I mapping by Fluent nHibernate?

A: What you want is "dynamic component". I don't use Fluent NHibernate anymore (I believe it is obsolete), Thus to see how to map via xml or mapping by code you can check the below links and apply it to fluent:

48. Stan Lee's Mutants, Monsters & Marvels


It's been a while I know so I thought I'd get you all up to date (I'll try and keep it short and sweet!).
It's fair to say this season has been a rollercoaster ride from the outset and that wasn't about to change for the World Duathlon Championships. I did my best to prepare for the Worlds after some time off running due to the hip injury I sustained in the National Championships. My moral was high leading into the race and I made sure I was as prepped as I could be (I even manned up and competed in my first criterium race beforehand).
The World Championships came about all too quickly and I was left wishing for an extra few weeks preparation. I arrived in Denmark on the Wednesday morning and spent time getting unpacked and settled ready for the course recce the following day.
Thursday was my first taste of the international elite life. It was a surreal experience, to say the least, being chaperoned by police cars and marshals around the bike course before the race on Friday. The recce gave me a chance to catch up with fellow teammates and athletes from my racing within French Grand Prix and settle my nerves a little before the big day. Once the recce was over it was onto briefing and then registration (busy day!). In the evening the GBR team headed out for dinner to what turned out to be our go-to Italian restaurant for the week (typical unadventurous Brits!).
Friday soon came around and the sickie nervous feeling didn't leave my stomach all day. Annoyingly the race wasn't until the evening and so I had all day to try and take my mind off the event whilst trying to stay off my feet (cue dentistry anatomy work…just the thing…thrilling!). My race preparation wasn't ideal after I discovered (or should I say Luke discovered whilst on a skype call) that my race tattoos didn't match my starting number… admin nightmare! After finally getting the mishap sorted there wasn't much time left to prepare and so I was stuck with a make shift warm-up… less than ideal!
The first run was hard, harder than I could have imagined, and I struggled from the outset. I thought I had ran a shocker but after post-race analysis I couldn't have done anything more in my current form with the lead up to the race I had had, and I actually ran my fastest running splits to date for a 10km distance. It was then onto the bike and wow I felt good, it wouldn't be long until I started to close down the girls in front and sure thing, slowly but surely, they did start to come back to me… one-by-one.
I was lucky enough to catch up with a Canadian athlete, a strong rider, and we began to work together in order to chase down the group in front. It was all going so well until we hit a particularly windy part of the course which sent my wheel into hers. I didn't know what had happened at first but when I looked down and saw my bike sprawled across the floor and a whole lot of blood, I had a good idea.
The paramedics and organisers were amazing and didn't leave my side! Once in hospital I could see the extent of my injuries, the road rash extended from my shoulder to my elbow and from my hip to my knee which wasn't great, but I was more concerned with what damaged I had done to my now throbbing shoulder and hip. After x-rays it was confirmed that nothing was broken (thank goodness!) but it was clear I had some major bruising and soft tissue damage which I'm still suffering from, 3 weeks down the line! Massive thank you to Dave Newport (GBR team manager) who came straight to see me in hospital, kept my family in the loop, and was so supportive throughout the whole ordeal.
I finally got back to my hotel that evening and I was an emotional wreck. I'd held it together since the crash but speaking to Luke that evening sent me into melt down. I was in pain, totally devastated, and pretty scared… safe to say I didn't get a wink of sleep that night.
After my time in Denmark it was onto Geneva where I met my family for some much-needed rest and recuperation… I made the decision that I would use the holiday as a premature end of season break (except for the odd cycle ride chasing the QOMs in the Jura and reminding my father that he can no longer drop me on the climbs!). The time away gave me some thinking time and I reflected on my season. After much thought, I have decided to focus on elite level duathlon with the coaching support of Dave Newport who will take over my programme going forwards (exciting times!).
I may not have been able to compete in Geneva Triathlon but my parents smashed it up in the mixed relay!
I've been back to my full programme for 1 week now and whilst running and swimming is proving difficult (but not impossible!) my mobility and pain are improving daily and I'm starting to feel like an athlete again. My hope is that I will be fighting fit for the last two French Grand Prix Races and the European Championships in October… keep your fingers (and toes) crossed for me!
Finally, I'd just like to say a massive well done to the GBR elite athletes that raced in Fyn, you guys were awesome and made my first experience of international racing a truly special one! Not forgetting a special mention for George Schwiening who finished 3rdamongst the senior women, you're a truly impressive athlete and definitely someone I aspire to…Can't wait to have you and Ed (gold standard supporter for the trip) up in Manchester for some fast and furious running road races and cycling in The Peaks.
It was great to meet you in Denmark and you helped make it a really fun few days to support! Kudos for your fantastic attitude after the crash and keeping it in perspective.
A trip up north would be really great – let's find a good time! And if you ever find yourself near Cambridge, please let us know. I think we are going to the Paris duathlon – do you know if you will be there?

Family and friends remember the life of Henrico County woman killed by girlfriend
by: Matt Chaney
Posted: Oct 30, 2016 / 11:39 AM EDT / Updated: Oct 30, 2016 / 11:39 AM EDT
HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — Friends and family, mourning the loss of Ava Tucker, held a candlelight vigil celebrating her life at Viviana Hall Townhomes in Highland Springs where police say she was killed by her girlfriend.
Her mother was at the vigil and said the people who came to honor her daughter's life are giving her the strength to get through this week as she plans Ava's funeral.
"It's not just my pain, it's the pain of all of these people that she helped touch," Tabatha Tucker said. "I don't know each and every one personally, but she has touched these people in so many ways."
Tucker was found stabbed to death in her home Thursday.
Sheena Wilson is charged with second-degree murder.
She will be back in court on January 20th of next year.

Joseph Swetnam - Biographical Sketch
By David Kite ©2017
Of unknown origins and unknown fate, the details concerning Joseph Swetnam's life are few, and the certain facts fewer. The certain facts are derived from two letters of administration, one for himself in 1621, and the other for his daughter in 16261. His own letter of administration, drawn up after news of his death had reached England around October 1621, recorded that he died overseas (nuper in p[ar]tibus transmarinis decedentis). His daughter, Elizabeth, was his administer of estate and was left £21. No other details are given. In his daughter's letter of administration, Swetnam was described as a citizen of Bristol (nuper de civit[ate] Bristoll). Elizabeth was married in November 1613. If her age at first marriage was between twenty and twenty-five, the average age for women at the time, then she would have been born in the early 1590s. To have a legitimate daughter, Swetnam himself must have been married at one point, and if the same age range holds true for Joseph, this would put his birth somewhere in the 1560s or early 1570s. In his infamous pamphlet on "lewd women," he made the not very reliable claim that he had been a traveller for "thirty & odde yeeres" by the time of its publication in 16152. If he had begun travelling between the ages of fifteen to twenty, which was also the average for the time, this would further corroborate the date range of his birth. This would put him in his fifties at the time of publication of his two books, and at least sixty at the time of his death.
The speculative details derive primarily from internal evidence found in The Schoole of the Noble and Worthy Science of Defence3. Van Heertum concludes that he was a West Country man, basing the assumption on the fact that many of the anecdotes he related occurred in that region4. Despite being described as a citizen of Bristol in his daughter's letter of administration, some assume he may have been a native of the city of Plymouth. Certainly, he only mentions Bristol once in passing, though he makes frequent references to Plymouth and to occurrences in the surrounding area. Although it is clear that he felt warmly toward Plymouth, he even composed the sentimental "My farewell to Plimouth" at the end of Schoole of Defence, he never revealed what this connection was. However, since he pined over the city's heyday, when Plymouth prospered during the threat of Spanish invasion, it is possible he was there in some military capacity. As far as Van Heertum's research, there is no record of a fencing school in Bristol during Swetnam's lifetime, and only one mention of a "Joseph Sweetnam" concerning the baptism of a Jocina in the parish register of St. Andrew's, Plymouth, dated 1604, though "it is impossible to say whether this is [the] Joseph Swetnam" who wrote the Schoole of Defence5.
That he was a professional Master of Defense is made clear by the title page's claim that his Schoole of Defence was "the first of any English mans invention, which professed the sayd Science," as well as his addressing an entire dedicatory epistle to his "most noble brethren by profession," exhorting them to be model citizens and Christians. Later in the book, he claimed that the science of defense "hath been my study and practice this twenty years."6 He also related the fates of several members of the English Masters of Defense, a blue collar association of martial artists who worked and lived throughout England. Despite the fact that several of these tales were told in the printed literature of the time, as well as Swetnam's propensity for "borrowing" from other sources, it is probable he was relying on his own knowledge in these cases. Swetnam even claimed to have known the Master of Defense John Turner personally7. Unfortunately, as noted above there is no record of a fencing school in Bristol, and the only known extant (and evidently incomplete) document produced by the Masters of Defense, the British Library's Sloane MS 2530, only includes records up until 1590. However, given that he was itinerant, and since it can be confidently assumed he spent at least some time in London to have his books printed, as well as Plymouth for unknown reasons, the possible location of any fencing school ranges far and wide.
One tantalizing clue about Swetnam's role as a martial arts master is his claim in the "Epistle Dedicatory" to have been tutor to James I's son, Henry Frederick Stuart. Unfortunately, the extent of this tutelage is so far untraceable, and the available corroborating evidence is not promising. For example, according to the Exchequor Issue Rolls, a Charles Guerholt was appointed to teach Prince Henry the "science of defence" between the years 1604 to 16068. Further, Swetnam's name is absent from the Privy Purse books for the Prince's household for the years 1608 to 1612 when the prince died9. Of course, this assumes he was actually hired to teach fencing to Prince Henry. His instruction may not have been part of an official paying tutelage, and Swetnam may actually have been retained as a servant in the household of someone close to the Court. Several Masters of Defense were retained by the gentry, and several performed before the Court or worked for the Crown in other capacities. Regardless, he seems to have had a frequent enough relationship with the young prince for Henry to peruse a draft of his book and urge him to print it. Whatever the case, it is generally accepted that Swetnam would not have been able to make such an easily refutable claim if there were not at least some truth to it.
After Henry's death, Swetnam evidently sought the patronage of Henry's brother Charles by dedicating his Schoole of Defence to the new Prince of Wales. Unfortunately, it is unknown what became of this, as the account books of Charles' household are no longer known to be extant10. However, we should not assume that the dedication to Charles indicates any connection between the two. By the middle of the sixteenth century, dedications were as often as not little more than job applications. By the seventeenth century, appeals for patronage were so common, and were aimed at so few individuals, that most became so devalued as to be worthless11.
Swetnam's Arraignment: A Bad Joke Poorly Told
Joseph Swetnam is perhaps best known for his misogynist pamphlet, The Araignment of Lewd, Idle, Froward, and Unconstant Women. This heavy-handed and poorly executed "joke" was first printed in 1615 and enjoyed a number of reprints over the next two centuries. A detailed treatment of this pamphlet and its surrounding controversy and reception can be found in Francisca Wilhelmina Van Heertum's, A Critical Edition of Joseph Swetnam's "The Araignment of Lewd, Idle, Froward, and Unconstant Women." Since this pamphlet is outside the scope of the present work, only a brief summary of her treatment will be dealt with here.
Attacks on and defenses of women seem to have been a fairly popular literary genre during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. While the attacks were, understandably, written by men, defenses were written by both men and women, with some male authors writing tracts on both sides of the debate. Rather than being serious polemics, however, these attacks and defenses seem to have been, for the most part, regarded as a game. The defenses commonly focused on rebutting specific arguments and stereotypes, and sometimes even specific tracts. Where Swetnam's pamphlet is unique is that it prompted three responses directed specifically at Swetnam the author. The three direct responses were: Contantia Munda's, The worming of a mad dogge: or, a soppe for Cerberus; Rachel Speght's, A mouzell for Melastomus; and Ester Sowernam's, Ester hath hang'd Haman: or an answere to a lewd pamphlet. All three responses were published in 1617. A few years later, a play, Swetnam the Woman-hater, Arraigned by Women, was printed in 1620. Despite the popularity of Swetnam's pamphlet, none of these rebuttals are known to have been reprinted.
The first edition of Swetnam's Araignment of Women bore the name Thomas Tell-Troth as the author. The persona of Thomas Tell-Troth was a relatively common one, and anyone adopting it would have wished to assume a self-evident status rather than anonymity. As such, rather than hiding behind a false identity, Swetnam probably intended to give The Araignment of Women the hallmark of truth12. Although it is impossible to know whether Swetnam intended to remain genuinely anonymous, given how quickly his real name was outed (the second edition of the pamphlet revealing his real name was published the same year), it is possible that his connection to the pamphlet and its contents were well known before its publication in print.
Swetnam's respondents made sport of the difference in social class between themselves and their target by deriding his lack of education, a lack which is both painfully apparent in the sophistication of his writing and to which he readily admits in The Schoole of Defence. His rhetorical abilities are attacked on two fronts: plagiarism and an over-reliance on proverbs. When van Heertum discussed how Swetnam's detractors attacked his plagiarism, she argued this was because that by this time, though still common, plagiarism was no longer an acceptable means of literary composition. To carry the point further, the reality here may not be that Swetnam was merely guilty of plagiarism, but that he copied his sources so inartfully. There was a difference between simply copying what someone else had done word for word (which Swetnam often did), and an artist absorbing whatever he had learned and adapting it to his own experiences, tastes, and art (which Swetnam also did, however inept he was). On the second front, Swetnam used proverbs extensively, and seemingly randomly, in both his books. Many of the proverbs used in The Araignment of Women were recycled in The Schoole of Defence, though often in different contexts13. Just as with plagiarism, by 1615, reliance on proverbs as fountains of wisdom was already dated, or at least considered uneducated14. Van Heertum quotes Sir William Cornwallis' Essays, wherein he wrote, "whose throates are worne like roade-wayes, with, Little said is soone amended : it is no halting before a Cripple, and such like: when I heare one of these, I looke for his drye nursse, for from her armes he plucked this language" (Ee7r). Amusingly, both of those proverbs find a place in The Schoole of Defence. Like they did with his plagiarism, Swetnam's detractors were merciless in their criticisms of his proverb-mongery. The Araignment of Women is saturated with empty proverbs, and the whole pamphlet is largely without substance. Even without Swetnam's admission that it was meant tongue-in-cheek, the pamphlet is not to be, indeed cannot be, taken seriously. By contrast, even where the Schoole of Defence is littered with proverbs, its narrative voice seems to contain quite a bit of the author's own mind, and in that respect is a more genuine composition.
Not including his direct detractors, the public reception of Swetnam's Araignment does not seem to have been too serious15. The play, Swetnam the Woman-hater, Arraigned by Women, was a comedy. Despite its promising title, however, the play has almost nothing to do with either Swetnam or his infamous pamphlet. The main plot concerns the story of Prince Lisandro and Princess Leonida, and is an adaptation of a novelette written by a Castilian noble, Juan e Flores. The main contention of the play is that Leonida is caught in an apparently compromising circumstance with Lisandro, wherein she is sentenced to death and he is exiled. Through the course of the play, all ends happily at the conclusion of a trial to determine which of the two lovers was first guilty; an allegory reflecting the woman controversy of the time: in the end, both lovers, and hence both sexes, are equally at fault. Swetnam is not portrayed as a serious enemy, and really only enters the play as a misogynist mouthpiece and fool. Many of his lines carry the weight of punchlines intended as comic relief from a buffoon.
Although the play does reveal some biographical details about Swetnam, particularly mention of his travels and the notion that he had a fencing school in Bristol, we cannot take the play at face value in those details any more than we can the joke that his usher's name was Swash, who could always be found by his buckler. The play also dismisses his claim to be a fencing master as merely a ward against reprisals against his misogyny, and also ridicules him for being run out of town on a rail by the city's indignant female citizens.

When we go out and buy a used car, most of us remember to do the "usual" checks. For example, verifying the car's history and making sure it wasn't reported as stolen or written off. Because we lead such busy lives, a lot of used car buyers put plenty of trust in what a dealer has to tell them.
While most dealers ensure the cars they sell are fit for purpose, that doesn't mean your next car will be without issue. That is why you need to spend some time reading today's handy guide. Why? Because you'll learn about the checks many of us forget to do when we buy a used car!
Any car that you buy today will have wheels with tyres wrapped around them. The job of those tyres is to make your ride more comfortable and grip the road in any conditions. But, the sad truth is that many used car buyers don't inspect the tyres on their future vehicles.
For instance, did you know that asymmetrical tyres need to get fitted in pairs across each axle? If you only have one such tyre on your axle, you will significantly make your car unsafe to drive.
And then there's the condition of the tyres themselves. It's recommended that you should replace tyres that have cracks across the sidewall. If they split, so can your tyres. Not a pretty thing to happen when you're driving at the time!
Just because a car looks like it's in showroom condition doesn't mean it works like one! Before you hand over any money, you should always ensure the electrical system of your future car works as it should.
That means checking the starting system (including the battery) and even the light bulbs. The last thing you want to do when driving your next used car home is to get pulled over by the police for driving a vehicle with defects!
It's no secret that some of us will buy from car dealers while others will elect to purchase from individual private sellers.
If you're buying from a dealer, it's important to verify they are a legitimate dealership. For instance, places like the Imperial Car Supermarket are well-known for being a good quality seller. But your friendly local dealership might not offer the same level of service.
You don't want to get ripped off when buying a used car, and I'd hate for that to happen to you. Before you go and browse some cars, do some research into the dealers you want to visit first. How long have they been established? Do they have good feedback online? Do you know people that have bought from them before?
Customers are openly complaining to staff about poor service and getting fobbed off.
Good luck with your next used car purchase!
