The end of FY-15 is fast approaching and we have to validate all NMCI users, devices, services, and software for your PSDs. The normal validation process is users>devices>services>software. I know that without an ACTR on site this can be difficult, but I have a method that I have used successfully at other remote sites without an ACTR on site. I will try to validate as much as possible without inundating everyone with spreadsheets and data calls. I have created two spreadsheets for each PSD, one is for users and the other is for devices, but before I send them out - I would like to do a desktop audit of users to speed up the validation.
In January of 1856, a pregnant Margaret, Robert, their 4 children, Robert’s parents and a few other slaves escaped the plantation, stealing a horse

Medora Dubbs Scott Butler, a well-connected and educated woman from Natchez, died at home, on Poplar Hill Plantation in April of 1868. In her dowry from her first marriage she received several slave’s, the families of Riley, Jackson, Bone, and several other families. Her death was six years after the death of Samuel Scott, her first husband. Expectedly, much of her estate went to her 6-year-old son and her husband of just one year and three months. However, what was unexpected in her last hours was that she remembered those former slaves who assisted her immediately after the death of her first husband, during the war of the rebellion, and thereafter.
With more in common than being dependable, poor, black Virginians, Earnest Baugh and William Ball would have but one fate. The two men likely never knew each other, but as nearly all blacks from the state of Virginia they were accustomed to provide services to white employers. However, in contrast to generations past, they would expect to be paid for their labour. Alas, in their final run, Earnest and William, like their earlier slave ancestors, would not be.

After her first mistress died, Jacobs was put on the auction block for sale as a farm tool. A man named Dr. Flint purchased her and her brother. Jacobs depicted a gruesome scene of the auction block: "These God-breathing machines are no more than the cotton they plant, or the horses they tend." (Jacobs, p.11) Jacobs' real father was such a skilled craftsmen that he had more feelings of a freed slave than most others, and in the raising of his children, this thought pattern reflected especially William. This proved to make things rougher for both Jacobs and her brother William with their new master. Jacobs

Everyday in the field he was forced to deal with one of his overseers constantly breathing on his neck so that if
Frequently, before the child has reached its twelfth months its mother is taken from it, and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off, and the child is placed under the care of an old woman, too old for field labor” While the bond of a mother and child is essential in basic relationships and child development, slave children are inhibited from this bond and lack the development and relationship that white children and mothers are able to have. Douglass is not even deemed a son to his father and is taken from his mother shortly after his birth.

She was not given her freedom or any way to start a new life for

Forensic science can be defined as the scientific methods and processes in crime solving (International Student, 2017). The many advancements in this field over past years have led to it including many specialist areas such as DNA and ballistics. Forensic science is derived from several scientific branches including biology, chemistry and physics, with its main focus being the recognition, identification, and evaluation of physical evidence (Crime Science Investigator, 2017). It has also become a valuable and essential part of the legal system as it uses a range of scientific methods to gather accurate and important information, relevant to criminal and legal evidence.
