United States v. University Hospital (1984)
The US 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals' 1984 decision United States v. University Hospital, State University Hospital of New York at Stony Brook set a significant precedent for affirming parental privilege to make medical decisions for handicapped newborns, while limiting the ability of the federal government to intervene. The ruling stemmed from the 1983 case involving an infant born with severe physical and mental congenital defects; the infant was only identified as Baby Jane Doe.

Zhang Lizhu (1921- )
Zhang Lizhu is a Chinese gynecologist and researcher. For most of her career, she worked in the Peking Medical College Third Hospital, renamed in 2000, Peking University Third Hospital. There, she led a team of researchers and physicians in the study of human in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) technology. Zhang and her colleagues contributed to the birth of the first test-tube baby in Mainland China in 1988.
Eisenstadt v. Baird (1972)
Prior to 1971, women had some difficulty obtaining contraceptive materials due to a law prohibiting the distribution of contraceptives by anyone other than a registered physician or registered pharmacist. This limited access to contraceptives had an impact on women's reproductive rights and it was the Supreme Court case Eisenstadt v. Baird (1972) that helped bring the issue into the public spotlight. It demonstrated that women's bodies have reproductive as well as anatomical functions, and that the right to privacy extends to those reproductive functions.
José Pedro Balmaceda (1948- )
José Pedro Balmaceda was born 22 August 1948 in Santiago, Chile. His mother Juanita owned a women's boutique in the city and his father José was a successful owner of several timber mills. He grew up with five sisters who remained in Santiago all their lives. Balmaceda attended the college preparatory school San Ignatius where he met Sergio Stone, his future partner at the Center for Reproductive Health fertility clinic in the University of California Irvine Medical Center.
Gregory Goodwin Pincus (1903-1967)
Gregory Goodwin Pincus, one of the original researchers responsible for the development of the first oral contraceptive pill, was born in Woodbine, New Jersey, on 19 April 1903 to Russian Jewish parents. In 1924 Pincus received his BS degree from Cornell University, and in 1927 he received his MS and PhD from Harvard University, having studied under William Ernest Castle and William John Crozier.
Patrick Christopher Steptoe (1913-1988)
Patrick Christopher Steptoe was a British gynecologist responsible for major advances in gynecology and reproductive technology. Throughout his career Steptoe promoted laparoscopy, a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows a view inside the abdominal cavity, successfully advancing its usefulness in gynecology. After partnering with embryologist Robert Edwards in 1966, the pair performed the first in vitro fertilization in humans.
Robert Geoffrey Edwards (1925-2013)
Robert Geoffrey Edwards worked with Patrick Christopher Steptoe to develop in-vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques during the 1960s and 1970s in the United Kingdom. Louise Brown, the world' s first "test-tube baby," was born as a result of Edwards and Steptoe's IVF techniques in 1978, and since then more than four million children have been born using IVF techniques. Publicity and controversy accompanied Edwards and Steptoe's work as conservative religious institutions expressed concern over the morality of the IVF procedure.
Advanced Cell Technology, Inc.
Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. (ACT) is a biotechnology company that uses stem cell technology to develop novel therapies in the field of regenerative medicine. Formed in 1994, ACT grew from a small agricultural cloning research facility located in Worcester, Massachusetts, into a multi-locational corporation involved in using both human embryonic stem cells (hESC) and human adult stem cells as well as animal cells for therapeutic innovations.
The Mothers' Clinic
The Mothers' Clinic for Constructive Birth Control was established on 17 March 1921. The first family planning clinic ever established in Great Britain, it was co-founded by Marie Charlotte Carmichael Stopes and her husband Humphrey Verdon Roe at Number 61, Marlborough Road in Holloway, North London. The Mothers' Clinic was one of the highlights of Stopes's extensive career as a proponent of available birth control and women's sexual equality.
An Atlas of Fertilization and Karyokinesis of the Ovum (1895), by Edmund Beecher Wilson
Edmund Beecher Wilson in the US published An Atlas of Fertilization and Karyokinesis of the Ovum (hereafter called An Atlas) in 1895. The book presents photographs by photographer Edward Leaming that capture stages of fertilization, the fusion of sperm and egg and early development of sea urchin (Toxopneustes variegatus) ova, or egg cell. Prior to An Atlas, no one photographed of eggcell division in clear detail. Wilson obtained high quality images of egg cells by cutting the cells into thin sections and preserving them throughout different stages of development.
Leon Chesley (1908-2000)
Leon Chesley studied hypertension, or high blood pressure, in pregnant women during the mid-twentieth century. Chesley studied preeclampsia and eclampsia, two hypertensive disorders found in approximately five percent of all US pregnancies. In New Jersey and New York, Chesley devoted over forty years to researching preeclampsia and eclampsia. Chesley conducted several long-term studies using the same group of women beginning from their pregnancies.
Landrum Brewer Shettles (1909-2003)
Landrum Brewer Shettles is remembered as an important contributor to early in vitro fertilization research in the United States as well as a prolific author on the subject of choosing a child's sex before conception. Shettles was born in Pontotoc County, Mississippi on 21 November 1909 to Sue Mounce and Brazil Manly. Shettles trained and worked as a gynecologist at Columbia University Presbyterian Medical Center, after receiving his MD in 1943 from Johns Hopkins University.
Vincenz Czerny (1842–1916)
Vincenz Czerny was a surgeon in the nineteenth century who specialized in cancer and women's surgical care. Czerny performed one of the first breast augmentations using a reconstruction method to correct asymmetry and disfigurement of a woman's breasts. Additionally, Czerny improved the safety and efficacy of existing operations, such as the vaginal hysterectomy, which involves the surgical removal of some or all of a woman's reproductive structures. He contributed to other surgeries involving the esophagus, kidneys, and intestines.
The Yale Embryo
In 1934 a fourteen-day-old embryo was discovered during a postmortem examination and became famous for being the youngest known human embryo specimen at the time. The embryo was coined "the Yale Embryo," named after the location where it was discovered, Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. During the early twentieth century, the rush to collect embryos as well as to find younger and younger embryos was at an all time high, and the Yale Embryo is representative of the this enthusiasm.

Des Plaines Nerf Tournament, 2016
Des Plaines Park District in Illinois Beats the Heat to host 4th annual Nerf Dart Tournament
Vas The Stampede
https://photos.gstatic.com/media/slideshow.swf
Over the weekend, I dropped in at the Des Plaines Park District for their 4th (pretty sure it was their 4th) annual Nerf tournament! Nerf was nice enough to send along prizes for the players, thanks so much to them for that. Players braved the heat and humidity for a few hours of foam slinging fun, and got a blaster for their efforts. I sincerely hope everyone had a great time! This park district is consistent at their love of the hobby, and is one of the few Park Districts I know of that implements blaster games in their events. Their rules are a little different from the usual NIC rules obviously, using stock blasters and ranges, but given the size of the playing field and the layout, it still makes for some fast-paced gameplay. Keep it going, Des Plaines, and looking forward to the next one!

Throwback Thursday – Nerf Tournament in Des Plaines, IL!
Wow, I really let this one get away from me! A few months ago I helped out the Des Plaines Park District (thanks for the referral, Basic Nerf) by providing them prizes (directly from NERF, thanks for the support!) and an extra pair of hands at their tournament back in July. It was just myself and TrekkieB47 but it was a great time and a lot of fun was had by all. Given the community, it gets tough to remember that these are still kids' toys, but something like this is a nice reminder about where we all may have started when we first picked up a blaster. Thanks to the park district for putting on the event!
See some of the fun here, but I can provide some pics too –

Review: JT Splatmaster – z100 & z200! (and a group shootout to boot!)
Splatmaster Playgroup – late 20-early 30 year olds, varying levels of experience with gas-powered paintball
Ah, paintball. Flinging spheres of paint at 200-300 fps out of CO2 charged markers in games of combat, whether objective or elimination based, it's a hobby that has had quite the following. In Illinois, we have a truly unique field, CPX Sports that has a HUGE selection of fields. And not just inflatables, but some include a full-on town (Bedlam), a burnt out city (Armageddon) and an ancient temple (Jungle of Doom). What does all this have to do with JT Splatmaster, from JT Paintball?
JT Splatmaster wanted a review, and CPX was willing to let me bring a group over to play and give some feedback on both the JT Splatmaster markers and the field itself. And on that note, let's take a look at the markers. Also available are a bevy of accessories, and you can read more about those HERE
First, the JT SPLATMASTER Z100 PISTOL($29.99):
With barrel plug inserted; and pullback assistance handle attached.
A look at the magazine (7 shots)
Z100 marker x 1
Pullback assist handle x 1
Barrel plug x 1
Instruction manual x 1
Magazine for the marker x 1 (additional magazines sold separately)
WHAT ABOUT IT?
Right off the bat, I knew this thing wasn't a toy. Sure, you had "paintball" things like the old lever-action Supasplats and others like those, but they did not feel NEARLY as solid as the Splatmaster markers. The outside is a really durable and tough, thick plastic. At least, I think it's plastic. Either way, this thing will take a beating. There's a button for a magazine release and a safety switch (a proper one-touch switch; not the continuous hold like on the BlasterPro line), which adds to the feel, aesthetics, and usage of the marker.
The magazine holds 7shots, and primes by pulling back the side on the top, if you can use a Maverick, you can use this. It's definitely longer than a maverick and heavier, but it's also much easier to holster. Magazines are going to be sold separately. I found the pullback assist handle not that easy to attach and it came off when I pulled it, so I just left it off. Still a lot of fun to shoot though, I just wish I had more mags on-hand.
Next, the JT SPLATMASTER Z200 SHOTGUN ($39.99):
Cleaning rod x 1
This was the marker we used for the duration of the day. 15 shots, pump-action, and breech loaded (even had a floppy trap door over the breach, nice touch! It also has a safety switch but no other buttons. You can see it has tactical rails, as I attached a camera to it. It'll accept picatinny mounts, so if you have'em, use'em! Word has it that additional accessories are in the works, so keep your eye out for them. Additional accessories such as ammo packs, targets, and safety equipment are all located here. One recommendation from Hustle paintball is to use the 50 count grenade container to hold spare ammo, and there is a nozzle on that and the 200 paintball container to assist in loading through the breech of the Z200 swiftly. This too is built incredibly solid, and I just wish it had a stock. Maybe in a later marker.
GENERAL THOUGHTS:
These have been chrono'd at 120-130 fps, drastically less than their gas-powered siblings. Even at that rate though, it is wise to treat these as you would any other paintball marker, including using a full mask and goggles when playing in a player vs player game. For target practice, you can get away with just using the goggles. Safety first, and it's usually a good policy to have eye protection on when playing with any toys that shoot.
That being said, these things were a lot of fun! The group had limited experience playing paintball, some a handful of times and others not at all. The general consensus was everyone enjoyed the decrease in pain (I told everyone to layer up as they would playing normal paintball) and the much more limited ammo available. Instead of a full hopper, you had only the 15 rounds to make it in a round (none of us had extra ammo holders available, although some risked keeping spare ammo in their pockets. I know, I know >_<) People could run and charge at each other without getting tagged 5 or 10 times from a hail of paint. Would we do it again? Sure! Will this kill paintball? No! It'll get more people interested at least, and this is a bang-up way to introduce them to the sport. Whether 9 or 29, this is a good thing for people looking to play something a little different without feeling beaten up. These things definitely stung enough to let you know you got hit, but no worse than getting a bad insect bite. I've been punched harder than these things put out.
It was definitely nice to try some new strategies rather than just lay out paint, and JT is definitely onto something here. Hopefully, we'll see even more new markers next year. Between the solid build, the fps, and the accuracy (these things definitely hit 50′ in a better cluster than I thought, but 100′ is still a max range, and it's hard to hit anything then.
Interestingly, no ammo with the markers. Considering how fussy paint balls can be, I shouldn't be surprised. It is much easier to regulate temperature and shipping conditions when you separate the products. Also, the goggles and masks are sold as separate units, to reinforce that younger players should work their way up to playing Player vs. Player games. Parents, this would be one way to incentivize proper blaster/marker safety. They can't PvP without earning their way up to the mask. Also, some paintball fields might have these for rent: rentals are different colored from the markers at retailers to prevent theft. Rentals pistols are red, while the shotguns are blue. Vice versa for consumer markers. This does not mean consumer markers are different, just a different shell but they all perform the same.
On that note, here's a video of various footage I snagged during that day:
Considering the ranges and power these things do have, it's definitely better to keep the play to the backyard. You don't have to worry about accidentally hitting someone unexpectedly which again, safety first. Definitely nice not having to pick up ammo after myself for once, but it definitely pays to play in a proper field, with ammo that washes away/disintegrates. Worth giving a try!

Game day: Justplay! Sports and Rec Festival – Complete with Dart Tag!
https://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf
Helped the Tacticool Tag and Gaming Society of Chicagoland (TTAGS) run some capture the flag minigames at the Justplay! Sports and Rec Festival in Carol Stream, IL! We had giveaways, awards, and a great number of people, hopefully getting them interested in the hobby and showing a new way to play. Also, that you don't have to be 8 years or under to enjoy toy blasters. Nerf and other foam shooters were represented of course, but we also put our Vapor Atlas 250s and the Vapor Delta 500 to good use.
Thanks to all who showed up! And with any luck, we'll be in Carol Stream doing meetups on a more regular basis 🙂
Big thank you to the Carol Stream Park District for setting us up, and letting us use your fair grounds! Hope to be back next year, bigger and better!

Chicago Area Nerf 2010 – "Just in Case"
It's about that time –
Once more unto the breach, dear friends! In the Midwest, a good number of folks that Nerf in IL shelved their blasters since Nov/Dec 2009, due to school, weather, weather, and no indoor venue to play. Well, it's warmer now and a new round of Nerf/foam blaster battles have begun! Minnesota and Wisconsin had their events last weekend, and some of the folks in Chicago just theirs underway as well.
This event didn't carry the same kind of weight that the usual wars carry. This was conceived in all of two-three weeks, when a fight usually has a date set months in advance to give attendees enough notice. Some of us were getting a little restless but were not able to make the trip up to the MN event that weekend. Snake, one of the Chicago Area Nerfers here took it upon himself to host a small local "warmup" to get off his butt and hopefully indoctrinate some new faces to our little slice of hobby heaven.
He took a different path from some of the past events. He actively banned a lot of specific types of mods and blasters (some homemades, for instance) and even ammo. The basic rules:
"If you don't like it, don't show."
"Run your war how you want to run it."
"The host has a responsibility to make sure his attendees have a good time."
The focus was to get back to running around in super close quarters with epic dodging and some sword/shield/axe blocking. Not being paced off at huge distances behind sparse cover with tons of No-Man's Land. There's been talk of a power creep in the midwest but that's a topic for another day. Snake wanted to explore what going back to our roots with short ranges and stock ammo would be like after the previous few fights where this wasn't the case.
Either way, there was a decent show of people. About 12 people from the surrounding Chicagoland area showed up, some with a few fights already under their belt and a few who haven't been in a good fight yet. It was a good mix!
I personally had a good time. We were all laughing at numerous points during the day just out of the craziness of the action. The close ranges led to a lot of running and even though Oak Lawn has its own issues with cover the fact we could run and dodge pretty much compensated for that. The blasters of the day varied; the N-Strike line (Raider, Longshot, Longstrike, Recon, Nitefinder, Magstrike, etc.) all saw use in addition to one or two homemades, furyfires, and other off-brand blasters. The N-Force melee weapons also saw some action, coupled with shields. We didn't use "larger ammo takes out shield" rules, mainly because we forgot, hah.
We were in and out of rounds really quick, too. Last Team Standing, Last One Standing, Capture the Flag (lots of capture the flag), Protect the VIP, and Center Flag Push were all orders on the day along with switching teams every few rounds. It was quick, fast-paced, and only really slowed at lunch or when we needed water. But we were all running, so much for each game. Heck, at one point we even got to use the park/jungle gym, which adds a nice dimension to CtF. If anything, we needed more gametypes to throw in.
It was a good first war for a lot of people, and they say they'll be back for the next one. As far as being a good introduction for people into this hobby, I'll say, "Achievement Unlocked."
See you on the field!

Chicago Beatdown: Third Time's the Charm
I think I forgot to grab a nerf BLASTER.
Clearly, it had been long enough. A few weeks later, we were back in Oak Lawn. Third in the series of Snake hosted events and it was game time. Once more we reported out to Centennial Park for a day of foam, fun, and most importantly, the Fight.
It was a turnout of maybe 9-10 rotating people we had ourselves set for the day. Games included Team Deathmatch, wingman, CTF, Defend the Core, and Team Powerball. Come to think of it, spanning that out from 10-4 or 5 really explains why I pass out for 11 hours afterward. But more on that later.
What this day saw was the birth of a +bow vs. all round, the strength of the marauder, and awesome of dart blocks. Minimal injuries, give or take a nutshot or two, but no one bled and no one had to be carted off to an ER… this time. Some random people even joined in from watching us, and they knew what was up. Stefans, Captain Slug, they knew the talk. Walking was a whole 'nother matter, but we all start somewhere.
Learning my lesson from the freak accident at the last game, I had to pack a paintball mask. It protected the temple and considering I got hit in the face at one point during the day, it was worth it. It really is a bit extreme, but for my own peace of mind I'm ok with that. As for the rest of my equipment I was packing a magstrike, my bbb, a crossfire buckler, and the "Wicked MC" (see previous blog) to rotate in and out over the course of the day. The bbb was inconsequential though, because truth be told I had more fun running around with a high ROF blaster and melee weapon all day. Reports say I took out an entire team. Dare I say it, the first round where I ran straight at the other team and jumped in the middle of them swinging, tagging at least two of them before getting hit totally made the day for me….
…UNTIL I started getting dart blocks here and there. The wider surface area of the marauder definitely helps if you can guess near where the dart's going to fly, and on at least a couple of occasions I managed to block a wayward shot, to follow up with a charge. If not the Wicked MC, my buckler picked up the slack. It was almost as if there was nothing the marauder couldn't do. During Team Powerball someone tried to drop a point into the bucket and I swatted it out. If they tried to outrun me, the marauder had enough length to compensate and I still got a hit. It was a good day for the N-Force.
While defend the core with my "Decoy" play style was a lot of fun, Team Powerball was pretty much how we closed out the day. An epic struggle of sorts between two +bow'd and sprightly teams. Running and dodging, getting out of the way of melee weapons, being thankful the other team didn't know the "Flying V", and getting a "300" style sword hit was a nice capper.
For future reference, 15 mins. may be a bit too long for DTC rounds. Depending on the # of people maybe, but for our size events 5 minutes may be just as good.
Just some quick etiquette notes to anyone who sees us on location:
1) DO NOT start grabbing at stuff if you don't know whose it is. That's just being a douche. And you may be unlucky and not know where it's been. I'm talking to you, random passersby!
2) DO NOT shoot at other people between rounds. Be nice.
3) Might wanna recheck your strategy if you're yelling "FALL BACK!" all day long.
4) Why, oh why do you charge at me with swords when I have a pistol? Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that ever watched "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
That's it for now!

The Lindsay, Mulcra and Wallpolla islands cover over 26,100 ha of Victorian floodplain in the Murray-Sunset National Park (Figure 5.2.6). They form part of the Chowilla Floodplains–Lindsay–Wallpolla Islands Living Murray icon site that straddles the Victoria and South Australia border. Lindsay Island, Wallpolla Island and Lake Wallawalla are recognised as nationally-important wetlands.
The wetlands and waterways in the Lindsay, Mulcra and Wallpolla islands system hold significance for Traditional Owners and their Nations. Currently there is no Registered Aboriginal Party for the region and the Mallee Catchment Management Authority involves the region's Traditional Owners in in the management of Lindsay, Mulcra and Wallpolla islands through its Aboriginal Reference Group, which includes First Peoples of the Millewa-Mallee and the Wadi Wadi and Tati Tati Traditional Owners.
The Lindsay, Mulcra and Wallpolla islands represent three separate anabranch systems including streams, billabongs, large wetlands and swamps. When flooded, waterways and wetlands within these systems provide habitat for native fish, frogs, turtles and waterbirds. Terrestrial animals (such as woodland birds) also benefit from the improved productivity and food resources when the system floods. During dry periods, large floodplain wetlands (such as Lake Wallawalla) can retain water and provide important refuge areas for wetland-dependent species and support terrestrial animals (such as small mammals and reptiles).
Mullaroo Creek and the Lindsay River are renowned for supporting one of the most-significant populations of Murray cod in the lower River Murray. These waterways provide fast-flowing habitat that Murray cod favour, and they contrast with the slow-flowing and still habitats in the nearby River Murray. Mature breeding fish in these waterways are an important source of juveniles for the overall Murray system. Waterways and wetlands throughout the icon site also support several other threatened fish species (such as the freshwater catfish, silver perch, Murray-Darling rainbowfish and unspecked hardyhead).
The reduced frequency and duration of floods in the River Murray has degraded the water-dependent vegetation communities, which has in turn caused declines in the diversity and abundance of animals that rely on healthy vegetation for habitat.
Lindsay, Mulcra and Wallpolla islands offer recreation opportunities in a remote location with camping, boating, fishing popular with residents of nearby communities and long-distance travellers. The area provides many birdwatching opportunities: over 200 aquatic and arid species are known to use the site.
Apart from a storm-driven flow pulse in early December 2017, the River Murray had lower-than-average inflows for much of 2017–18. Water for the environment was delivered to 11 wetlands in the lower Murray system during the year. Most of this water was used to partially or completely fill wetlands in spring, to consolidate ecological responses triggered by widespread floods in 2016–17. With continued dry conditions through the second half of summer and into autumn, the focus of deliveries of water for the environment shifted to protecting critical habitat. Top-up flows were delivered to Lake Hawthorn to provide habitat for waterbirds and to Brickworks Billabong to support the critically endangered Murray hardyhead.
The December flow pulse in the River Murray flooded the Nyah and Vinifera floodplains, Margooya Lagoon and Yungera Island, extending the period of inundation and providing connectivity between the floodplain and the River Murray. Rainfall, irrigation drainage and stormwater run-off were sufficient to meet ecological objectives at Koorlong Lake. Recent monitoring found over 700 Murray hardyhead in Koorlong Lake, proving that the population in the wetland is self-sustaining and robust.
Deliveries of water for the environment to Neds Corner in spring 2017 were halted on the advice of the Arthur Rylah Institute after monitoring through the Victorian Government's Wetland Monitoring and Assessment Program identified 15 rare, vulnerable or threatened plants in Neds Corner Central that had not been detected in the wetland before. Continuation of the watering may have displaced these plants. Management of the wetland has changed to reflect this finding: the approach is now to allow at least five years between inundation events where possible, to allow these threatened plants to establish. The wetland was last filled in 2016, so deliberate watering will not occur until at least 2021–22.
Provide freshwater inflows and flushing flows to reduce salinity levels and improve the condition and diversity of wetland vegetation.
In preparing its seasonal watering proposal, Mallee Catchment Management Authority considered and assessed risks and identified mitigating strategies relating to the implementation of environmental watering. Risks and mitigating actions are continually reassessed by program partners throughout the water year.
Table 2 shows the partners and stakeholder organisation with which Mallee CMA engaged when preparing the Lindsay, Mulcra and Wallpolla islands seasonal watering proposal.
Seasonal watering proposals are informed by longer-term regional catchment strategies, regional waterway strategies, environmental flow studies, water management plans and other studies. These incorporate a range of environmental, cultural, social and economic perspectives and longerterm integrated catchment and waterway management objectives. For further details, refer to the Mallee Regional Catchment Strategy and Mallee Waterway Strategy.


I thought I'd write a short and sweet little entry to let you know I've discovered a real love of all things dog.
Add to this that I've been spending quite a lot of time in London with two Boxers - Bella and Charlie. Real characters and a breed that I can't step on accidentally while cooking or cleaning. They snore, sleep and mooch around in such a loveable way that I've decided when I have the time and space for a dog it will be a Boxer for sure.
If it's a dog's life, I'm in.

What are the Titans getting in Jeffery Simmons?
The Titans landed a blue chip talent with the No. 19 overall pick last night.
By Justin Melo@JustinM_NFL Apr 26, 2019, 12:08pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: What are the Titans getting in Jeffery Simmons?
John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports
Opinions are running wild in Nashville this morning regarding the Titans selection of Jeffery Simmons. Simmons would have gone much earlier last night had he not torn his ACL while training for the NFL Combine. The Titans were likely very thrilled that he was still available when they came on the clock.
Put the tape on and it's clear to see why the Titans took Simmons. He's an incredibly powerful prospect that effected the pocket on what felt like a snap-by-snap basis throughout 2018. I studied seven games from Simmons last season, and he was good-to-great in all of them. He was also double teamed on just about every snap I watched, yet he was still incredibly effective.
In Simmons, the Titans are finally getting a blue chip talent to pair next to Jurrell Casey. That's something they've never had during Casey's tenure as a Titan. When Simmons returns from injury, they'll have it now.
Let's get to some of the tape that caught my eye.
Mike Vrabel called Simmons "disruptive" during the press conference after the pick was made. That is really what this pick was all about. Simmons' ability to create pressure up the middle made him one of the most disruptive forces on any college football field throughout 2018.
This swim move and sack is everything.
Simmons has the potential to make this entire defense better once he is healthy and on the field. He's an incredibly powerful prospect with a bull rush that's a pleasure to watch.
Simmons' ability to push his opponent back into the lap of the quarterback is on display here.
Another aspect of Simmons' game that stood out to me during my evaluation of him was his hand usage. It's incredibly advanced for a prospect his age. He keeps his hands active and fighting while engaged with his opponent. He's constantly working hard to disengage from his opponent. His hands are often why he gets to the quarterback so quickly.
I once had a lengthy conversation with current Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Mattison. If you're not familiar with coach Mattison, he's been coaching in college football since 1977 and has coached several big-time defensive line talents. He told me that snap anticipation is the single most important aspect to any defensive linemen. "If he can't get off the ball, I have no use for him" is what Mattison said to me. When coach Mattison speaks about evaluating defensive line talent, you listen. I've taken that piece of information with me when scouting defensive line prospects. Simmons has the single most important trait that can lead to success at the next level.
Simmons' snap anticipation here is ridiculous.
Another important aspect to the success of a defensive linemen is his ability to move laterally and make plays outside of his frame. Drafting run stuffers isn't as popular as it used to be, and rightfully so. It's a passing league and you need defensive line talent that can effect the quarterback. Simmons does that. Despite these facts, it's still important for a defensive linemen to move well laterally and make plays while doing so. Simmons does plenty of that on tape.
There are still plenty of questions to be answered here. When will the Titans get Simmons on the field? Will it be during the 2019 season, or is his rookie season essentially a write off? The Titans are obviously very comfortable with how he checked out medically. They wouldn't have drafted him last night if they weren't.
When Simmons does get on the field, he's going to be a massive difference maker. The Titans feel they have the luxury of time with this selection. It's pretty clear Jon Robinson and Mike Vrabel aren't afraid of losing their jobs. They wouldn't have picked a player that may not make an impact in 2019 if they were. That sort of job security will lead to a lot of level headed thinking.
It's the sort of thinking that allows you to draft a blue chip, elite talent at No. 19 overall. That's exactly what the Titans did last night.

What next for Iran as the US continues to pile on the pressure?
Iran has faced a great deal of political pressure over the past 40 years, but the economic effects of the sanctions recently imposed by US President Donald Trump are the harshest and the most effective to date.
These sanctions not only target the Iranian economy, they are also designed to fuel public anger towards the all-powerful, unaccountable leaders who for four decades have offered their people nothing but systematic repression and censorship.
Caught between their own angry and frustrated citizens and the might of the United Sates, the only aim of the Islamic Republic is to survive at any cost. Tehran seems to think that the best way to achieve this is through threats, both to their own people and to the West about the potential consequences if Iran withdraws from the 2015 nuclear deal.
A week ago, Dr. Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, warned the world that Iran might restart its uranium enrichment program. President Hassan Rouhani then said that Iran intends to launch a satellite within a few months despite western opposition, including clear warnings from the United States and France. This was followed by an announcement by the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards that they will retain their military presence in Syria, in defiance of Israeli threats that they might be targeted if they do not leave the country.
"You should be afraid of the day that our precision-guided missiles roar and fall on your head," added Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Commander Mohammad Ali Jafari.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week confirmed that there have already been strikes on Iranian targets in Syria. This was an unusual step, as Israeli officials rarely confirm or deny attacks.
"Just in the past 36 hours, the air force attacked Iranian warehouses containing Iranian weapons in the Damascus International Airport," Netanyahu said during a cabinet meeting on January 13. Such an open admission leaves Iranians in little doubt that Israel is prepared to attack with no hesitation should it be deemed necessary.
President Trump withdrew the US from the 2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, in May 2018. Since then European Union nations have been working on developing a financial channel to help Iran's banking system survive the reimposed US sanctions, without risking their own banks falling victim to retaliatory sanctions from Trump, but so far they have been unable to offer anything to the Iranians.
The EU response, or lack thereof, has left Tehran disappointed and under internal and external pressure ahead of a recently announced, US-hosted international conference in Poland next month to discuss peace and security in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Iran. The Iranian regime is disturbed by the prospect of further sanctions and the growing unity and determination among the international community to address Tehran's activities in the region, and the global threat posed by its support and financing for militias and terrorism.
It remains to be seen how many countries attend the conference in Warsaw but the Islamic Republic views it as a humiliating, anti-regime gathering, and their reaction shows how worried they are.
Trump's predecessor in the Oval Office, Barack Obama, gained international support for increasing the pressure on Tehran and convincing them to negotiate with the West about their nuclear program. Perhaps this inspired Trump, who seems to have a similar goal of increasing international pressure with the aim of forcing the regime to negotiate with the US, this time over its missile program and regional interference.
Either way, it is a very hard task for the Trump administration and these are uneasy subjects for Tehran to talk about.

Acheulean
(Redirected from Acheulean industry)
Acheulean (/əˈʃuːliən/; also Acheulian and Mode II), from the French acheuléen after the type site of Saint-Acheul, is an archaeological industry of stone tool manufacture characterized by distinctive oval and pear-shaped "hand-axes" associated with Homo erectus and derived species such as Homo heidelbergensis.

Acheulean tools were produced during the Lower Palaeolithic era across Africa and much of West Asia, South Asia, East Asia and Europe, and are typically found with Homo erectus remains. It is thought that Acheulean technologies first developed about 1.76 million years ago, derived from the more primitive Oldowan technology associated with Homo habilis.[3] The Acheulean includes at least the early part of the Middle Paleolithic. Its end is not well defined, depending on whether Sangoan (also known as "Epi-Acheulean") is included, it may be taken to last until as late as 130,000 years ago. In Europe and Western Asia, early Neanderthals adopted Acheulean technology, transitioning to Mousterian by about 160,000 years ago.

History of researchEdit
The type site for the Acheulean is Saint-Acheul, a suburb of Amiens, the capital of the Somme department in Picardy, where artifacts were found in 1859.[4]
John Frere is generally credited as being the first to suggest a very ancient date for Acheulean hand-axes. In 1797, he sent two examples to the Royal Academy in London from Hoxne in Suffolk. He had found them in prehistoric lake deposits along with the bones of extinct animals and concluded that they were made by people "who had not the use of metals" and that they belonged to a "very ancient period indeed, even beyond the present world".[5] His ideas were, however, ignored by his contemporaries, who subscribed to a pre-Darwinian view of human evolution.[citation needed]
Later, Jacques Boucher de Crèvecœur de Perthes, working between 1836 and 1846, collected further examples of hand-axes and fossilised animal bone from the gravel river terraces of the Somme near Abbeville in northern France. Again, his theories attributing great antiquity to the finds were spurned by his colleagues, until one of de Perthe's main opponents, Dr Marcel Jérôme Rigollot, began finding more tools near Saint Acheul. Following visits to both Abbeville and Saint Acheul by the geologist Joseph Prestwich, the age of the tools was finally accepted.[citation needed]
In 1872, Louis Laurent Gabriel de Mortillet described the characteristic hand-axe tools as belonging to L'Epoque de St Acheul. The industry was renamed as the Acheulean in 1925.[citation needed]
Dating the AcheuleanEdit
Providing calendrical dates and ordered chronological sequences in the study of early stone tool manufacture is often accomplished through one or more geological techniques, such as radiometric dating, often potassium-argon dating, and magnetostratigraphy. From the Konso Formation of Ethiopia, Acheulean hand-axes are dated to about 1.5 million years ago using radiometric dating of deposits containing volcanic ashes.[6] Acheulean tools in South Asia have also been found to be dated as far as 1.5 million years ago.[7] However, the earliest accepted examples of the Acheulean currently known come from the West Turkana region of Kenya and were first described by a French-led archaeology team.[8] These particular Acheulean tools were recently dated through the method of magnetostratigraphy to about 1.76 million years ago, making them the oldest not only in Africa but the world.[9] The earliest user of Acheulean tools was Homo ergaster, who first appeared about 1.8 million years ago. Not all researchers use this formal name, and instead prefer to call these users early Homo erectus.[3]
From geological dating of sedimentary deposits, it appears that the Acheulean originated in Africa and spread to Asian, Middle Eastern, and European areas sometime between 1.5 million years ago and about 800 thousand years ago.[10][11] In individual regions, this dating can be considerably refined; in Europe for example, it was thought that Acheulean methods did not reach the continent until around 500,000 years ago. However more recent research demonstrated that hand-axes from Spain were made more than 900,000 years ago.[11]
Relative dating techniques (based on a presumption that technology progresses over time) suggest that Acheulean tools followed on from earlier, cruder tool-making methods, but there is considerable chronological overlap in early prehistoric stone-working industries, with evidence in some regions that Acheulean tool-using groups were contemporary with other, less sophisticated industries such as the Clactonian[12] and then later with the more sophisticated Mousterian, as well. It is therefore important not to see the Acheulean as a neatly defined period or one that happened as part of a clear sequence but as one tool-making technique that flourished especially well in early prehistory. The enormous geographic spread of Acheulean techniques also makes the name unwieldy as it represents numerous regional variations on a similar theme. The term Acheulean does not represent a common culture in the modern sense, rather it is a basic method for making stone tools that was shared across much of the Old World.[citation needed]
The very earliest Acheulean assemblages often contain numerous Oldowan-style flakes and core forms and it is almost certain that the Acheulean developed from this older industry. These industries are known as the Developed Oldowan and are almost certainly transitional between the Oldowan and Acheulean.[citation needed]
Acheulean stone toolsEdit
StagesEdit
An Acheulean handaxe, Haute-Garonne France – MHNT
In the four divisions of prehistoric stone-working,[13] Acheulean artefacts are classified as Mode 2, meaning they are more advanced than the (usually earlier) Mode 1 tools of the Clactonian or Oldowan/Abbevillian industries but lacking the sophistication of the (usually later) Mode 3 Middle Palaeolithic technology, exemplified by the Mousterian industry.[citation needed]
The Mode 1 industries created rough flake tools by hitting a suitable stone with a hammerstone. The resulting flake that broke off would have a natural sharp edge for cutting and could afterwards be sharpened further by striking another smaller flake from the edge if necessary (known as "retouch"). These early toolmakers may also have worked the stone they took the flake from (known as a core) to create chopper cores although there is some debate over whether these items were tools or just discarded cores.[14]
The Mode 2 Acheulean toolmakers also used the Mode 1 flake tool method but supplemented it by using bone, antler, or wood to shape stone tools. This type of hammer, compared to stone, yields more control over the shape of the finished tool. Unlike the earlier Mode 1 industries, it was the core that was prized over the flakes that came from it. Another advance was that the Mode 2 tools were worked symmetrically and on both sides indicating greater care in the production of the final tool.[citation needed]
Mode 3 technology emerged towards the end of Acheulean dominance and involved the Levallois technique, most famously exploited by the Mousterian industry. Transitional tool forms between the two are called Mousterian of Acheulean Tradition, or MTA types. The long blades of the Upper Palaeolithic Mode 4 industries appeared long after the Acheulean was abandoned.[citation needed]
As the period of Acheulean tool use is so vast, efforts have been made to classify various stages of it such as John Wymer's division into Early Acheulean, Middle Acheulean, Late Middle Acheulean and Late Acheulean[15] for material from Britain. These schemes are normally regional and their dating and interpretations vary.[16]
In Africa, there is a distinct difference in the tools made before and after 600,000 years ago with the older group being thicker and less symmetric and the younger being more extensively trimmed.[17]
ManufactureEdit
The primary innovation associated with Acheulean hand-axes is that the stone was worked symmetrically and on both sides. For the latter reason, handaxes are, along with cleavers, bifacially worked tools that could be manufactured from the large flakes themselves or from prepared cores.[18]
Tool types found in Acheulean assemblages include pointed, cordate, ovate, ficron, and bout-coupé hand-axes (referring to the shapes of the final tool), cleavers, retouched flakes, scrapers, and segmental chopping tools. Materials used were determined by available local stone types; flint is most often associated with the tools but its use is concentrated in Western Europe; in Africa sedimentary and igneous rock such as mudstone and basalt were most widely used, for example. Other source materials include chalcedony, quartzite, andesite, sandstone, chert, and shale. Even relatively soft rock such as limestone could be exploited.[19] In all cases the toolmakers worked their handaxes close to the source of their raw materials, suggesting that the Acheulean was a set of skills passed between individual groups.[20]
Some smaller tools were made from large flakes that had been struck from stone cores. These flake tools and the distinctive waste flakes produced in Acheulean tool manufacture suggest a more considered technique, one that required the toolmaker to think one or two steps ahead during work that necessitated a clear sequence of steps to create perhaps several tools in one sitting.[citation needed]
A hard hammerstone would first be used to rough out the shape of the tool from the stone by removing large flakes. These large flakes might be re-used to create tools. The tool maker would work around the circumference of the remaining stone core, removing smaller flakes alternately from each face. The scar created by the removal of the preceding flake would provide a striking platform for the removal of the next. Misjudged blows or flaws in the material used could cause problems, but a skilled toolmaker could overcome them.[citation needed]
Once the roughout shape was created, a further phase of flaking was undertaken to make the tool thinner. The thinning flakes were removed using a softer hammer, such as bone or antler. The softer hammer required more careful preparation of the striking platform and this would be abraded using a coarse stone to ensure the hammer did not slide off when struck.[citation needed]
Final shaping was then applied to the usable cutting edge of the tool, again using fine removal of flakes. Some Acheulean tools were sharpened instead by the removal of a tranchet flake. This was struck from the lateral edge of the hand-axe close to the intended cutting area, resulting in the removal of a flake running along (parallel to) the blade of the axe to create a neat and very sharp working edge. This distinctive tranchet flake can be identified amongst flint-knapping debris at Acheulean sites.[citation needed]
UseEdit

Loren Eiseley calculated[21] that Acheulean tools have an average useful cutting edge of 20 centimetres (8 inches), making them much more efficient than the 5-centimetre (2 in) average of Oldowan tools.[citation needed]
Use-wear analysis on Acheulean tools suggests there was generally no specialization in the different types created and that they were multi-use implements. Functions included hacking wood from a tree, cutting animal carcasses as well as scraping and cutting hides when necessary. Some tools, however, could have been better suited to digging roots or butchering animals than others.[citation needed]
Alternative theories include a use for ovate hand-axes as a kind of hunting discus to be hurled at prey.[22] Puzzlingly, there are also examples of sites where hundreds of hand-axes, many impractically large and also apparently unused, have been found in close association together. Sites such as Melka Kunturé in Ethiopia, Olorgesailie in Kenya, Isimila in Tanzania, and Kalambo Falls in Zambia have produced evidence that suggests Acheulean hand-axes might not always have had a functional purpose.[citation needed]
Recently, it has been suggested[23] that the Acheulean tool users adopted the handaxe as a social artifact, meaning that it embodied something beyond its function of a butchery or wood cutting tool. Knowing how to create and use these tools would have been a valuable skill and the more elaborate ones suggest that they played a role in their owners' identity and their interactions with others. This would help explain the apparent over-sophistication of some examples which may represent a "historically accrued social significance".[24]
One theory goes further and suggests that some special hand-axes were made and displayed by males in search of a mate, using a large, well-made hand-axe to demonstrate that they possessed sufficient strength and skill to pass on to their offspring. Once they had attracted a female at a group gathering, it is suggested that they would discard their axes, perhaps explaining why so many are found together.[25]
Hand-axe as a left over coreEdit
Stone knapping with limited digital dexterity makes the center of mass the required direction of flake removal. Physics then dictates a circular or oval end pattern, similar to the handaxe, for a leftover core after flake production. This would explain the abundance, wide distribution, proximity to source, consistent shape, and lack of actual use, of these artifacts.[26][additional citation(s) needed]
MoneyEdit
Mimi Lam, a researcher from the University of British Columbia, has suggested that Acheulean hand-axes became "the first commodity: A marketable good or service that has value and is used as an item for exchange."[27]

The geographic distribution of Acheulean tools – and thus the peoples who made them – is often interpreted as being the result of palaeo-climatic and ecological factors, such as glaciation and the desertification of the Sahara Desert.[28]
Acheulean Biface from Saint Acheul
Acheulean stone tools have been found across the continent of Africa, save for the dense rainforest around the River Congo which is not thought to have been colonized by hominids until later. It is thought that from Africa their use spread north and east to Asia: from Anatolia, through the Arabian Peninsula, across modern day Iran[29] and Pakistan, and into India, and beyond. In Europe their users reached the Pannonian Basin and the western Mediterranean regions, modern day France, the Low Countries, western Germany, and southern and central Britain. Areas further north did not see human occupation until much later, due to glaciation. In Athirampakkam at Chennai in Tamil Nadu the Acheulean age started at 1.51 mya and it is also prior than North India and Europe.[30]
Until the 1980s, it was thought that the humans who arrived in East Asia abandoned the hand-axe technology of their ancestors and adopted chopper tools instead. An apparent division between Acheulean and non-Acheulean tool industries was identified by Hallam L. Movius, who drew the Movius Line across northern India to show where the traditions seemed to diverge. Later finds of Acheulean tools at Chongokni in South Korea and also in Mongolia and China, however, cast doubt on the reliability of Movius's distinction.[31] Since then, a different division known as the Roe Line has been suggested. This runs across North Africa to Israel and thence to India, separating two different techniques used by Acheulean toolmakers. North and east of the Roe Line, Acheulean hand-axes were made directly from large stone nodules and cores; while, to the south and west, they were made from flakes struck from these nodules.[32]

Acheulean tool usersEdit
For further details of the known environment and people during the time when Acheulean tools were being made, see Palaeolithic and Lower Palaeolithic.
Most notably, however, it is Homo ergaster (sometimes called early Homo erectus), whose assemblages are almost exclusively Acheulean, who used the technique. Later, the related species Homo heidelbergensis (the common ancestor of both Neanderthals and Homo sapiens) used it extensively.[citation needed] Late Acheulean tools were still used by species derived from H. erectus, including Homo sapiens idaltu and early Neanderthals.[33]
The symmetry of the hand-axes has been used to suggest that Acheulean tool users possessed the ability to use language;[34] the parts of the brain connected with fine control and movement are located in the same region that controls speech. The wider variety of tool types compared to earlier industries and their aesthetically as well as functionally pleasing form could indicate a higher intellectual level in Acheulean tool users than in earlier hominines.[35] Others argue that there is no correlation between spatial abilities in tool making and linguistic behaviour, and that language is not learned or conceived in the same manner as artefact manufacture.[36]
Lower Palaeolithic finds made in association with Acheulean hand-axes, such as the Venus of Berekhat Ram,[37] have been used to argue for artistic expression amongst the tool users. The incised elephant tibia from Bilzingsleben[38] in Germany, and ochre finds from Kapthurin in Kenya[39] and Duinefontein in South Africa,[40] are sometimes cited as being some of the earliest examples of an aesthetic sensibility in human history. There are numerous other explanations put forward for the creation of these artefacts; however, evidence of human art did not become commonplace until around 50,000 years ago, after the emergence of modern Homo sapiens.[41]
The kill site at Boxgrove in England is another famous Acheulean site. Up until the 1970s these kill sites, often at waterholes where animals would gather to drink, were interpreted as being where Acheulean tool users killed game, butchered their carcasses, and then discarded the tools they had used. Since the advent of zooarchaeology, which has placed greater emphasis on studying animal bones from archaeological sites, this view has changed. Many of the animals at these kill sites have been found to have been killed by other predator animals, so it is likely that humans of the period supplemented hunting with scavenging from already dead animals.[42]
Excavations at the Bnot Ya'akov Bridge site, located along the Dead Sea rift in the southern Hula Valley of northern Israel, have revealed evidence of human habitation in the area from as early as 750,000 years ago.[43] Archaeologists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem claim that the site provides evidence of "advanced human behavior" half a million years earlier than has previously been estimated. Their report describes an Acheulean layer at the site in which numerous stone tools, animal bones, and plant remains have been found.[44]
Azykh cave located in Azerbaijan is another site where Acheulean tools were found. In 1968, a lower jaw of a new type of hominid was discovered in the 5th layer (so-called Acheulean layer) of the cave. Specialists named this type "Azykhantropus".[45][46][47]
Only limited artefactual evidence survives of the users of Acheulean tools other than the stone tools themselves. Cave sites were exploited for habitation, but the hunter-gatherers of the Palaeolithic also possibly built shelters such as those identified in connection with Acheulean tools at Grotte du Lazaret[48] and Terra Amata near Nice in France. The presence of the shelters is inferred from large rocks at the sites, which may have been used to weigh down the bottoms of tent-like structures or serve as foundations for huts or windbreaks. These stones may have been naturally deposited. In any case, a flimsy wood or animal skin structure would leave few archaeological traces after so much time. Fire was seemingly being exploited by Homo ergaster, and would have been a necessity in colonising colder Eurasia from Africa. Conclusive evidence of mastery over it this early is, however, difficult to find.[citation needed]

ZimBoard Live Edge "Slicer" Black Walnut Cutting Boards
Images shown are representative examples.
Our "Slicer" Live-Edge Boards are a 2" thick solid piece of hardwood that is sturdy and comfortable to cut on helping to make the overall cooking experience more enjoyable. These boards are reversible and designed with versatility in mind – a juice groove and well on one side of the board and a flat cutting surface on the other. This board is excellent for cutting, carving and serving meat or poultry. Flip the board over to its flat cutting surface and prep vegetables, fruits and other ingredients. The live-edge, or "natural edge" reveals its tree's outer surface contours – an organic element that shines in almost any space. The board also has a flat edge for storing on edge which we recommend. Finger grooves on each end of the board help with maneuvering around the kitchen or table.
Each board has been air dried for a year or more and then kiln dried. We select our own logs for solidness and character investing almost 2 years in this wood before we can use it. While our first priority is to deliver a solid wood cutting surface we are also focused on character – delivering a one-of-a-kind organic element used to prepare your families meals and will last a lifetime.
Black Walnut is some of the most coveted wood and recognized by wood crafters everywhere for its beautiful color and character. Walnut has amazing heartwood that varies in color from a purplish brown to a rich coffee brown and with thin, dark veins to gray-brown and even orange, brown. The narrow sapwood tends to be white which creates a dramatic and beautiful color contrast. Walnut is a closed grain (non-porous) wood that helps to prevent liquids from absorbing into the wood – better at preventing bacteria contamination than plastic.
Board Measurements
Item: B-FLAT-W-MEDIUM (15"L X 12-14"W X 2" Thickness) 6-8 pounds

Our 3rd generation skilled woodworkers are passionate about the quality of their work – they celebrate the handmade craftsmanship Lancaster County is known for.
Simple and consistent care is required - instructions are included with each board. To review Cutting Board Care Instructions please visit the link at the bottom of the homepage.

A few weeks ago, Microsoft announced the next version of Windows Server in the Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC): Windows Server 2019. Keeping in mind that the LTSC server releases are similar to traditional server versions, this represents the next major release for Windows Server. This release will include the full Desktop Experience and has 10 years of support. This is in contrast to the Semi-Annual Channel which only comes in Server Core and gets 18 months of support. Let's take a look at some of the new features of Windows Server 2019.

Policy Analyzer
Policy Analyzer is a tool released a couple of years ago that allows an administrator to easily compare two or more GPOs to find the differences between them. It's a little clunky to use for quick troubleshooting, but for in-depth GPO work, this is a great tool for helping review and organize GPOs. Here, we'll walk through how to get started and interpret the results.

PowerShell Quick Tips
When diagnosing issues, it's good to be as quick and efficient as possible. The faster you can diagnose an issue, the faster you can resolve it and restore regular operations. This is a place where PowerShell shines. If you have the right command, it can be much quicker to run it than to click through the GUI to collect data. Here, we'll look at some short PowerShell snippets to use while troubleshooting issues. All of these are easy commands that you can begin using yourself!

Crash Dump Analysis
Extracting information from a memory dump after a server crash is an important part of root cause analysis. Although this is an advanced topic, and debugging crash dumps is often a very complex task, here we will look at the basics. This information is enough to get started and debug a simple crash that has a clear cause.

Active Directory Health
When dealing with any Active Directory related issue, checking the health of the domain is a common first step. AD domain health can be broken down into two main parts - the status of the individual DCs and the stability of the replication. Here, we'll cover how to check each of these.

PowerShell Event Log Collection
Recently while troubleshooting an issue, it was necessary to search for specific event IDs on 6 different servers. We knew there was a sporadic issue on all of these different servers, but we didn't know if it was happening simultaneously on them or if the timings were scattered. Although we could have manually logged into each server, exported the event logs, and then searched them in Excel, it was quick and easy to use PowerShell to do the data collection.

PowerShell DSC
While configuration management software such as Ansible, Puppet, or Salt has become very popular for use in Linux environments, Windows hasn't had a similar push until relatively recently. PowerShell Desired State Configuration (usually shortened to DSC) is a configuration management platform that is native to Windows and programmed using familiar PowerShell syntax. Here, we'll cover the benefits of using configuration management, example use cases, and a technical overview.

The big news in the past week is two new vulnerabilities that affect nearly all computers - Meltdown and Spectre. Here we'll cover what they are, how they work, and how to protect against them. Since these are complicated exploits, this email will not go into great technical depth.
Netsh Packet Captures
A common troubleshooting step is collecting a packet capture to see what's happening at the network level. Perhaps you're trying to track down a port blocked by a firewall or a connection that just isn't working right. For this, many people would install Wireshark, Microsoft Network Monitoring (netmon), or Microsoft Message Analyzer. However, Server 2008 R2 and newer includes the ability to collect packet captures using the native netsh tool without any additional installations. With many environments under strict change control, this is a quick and easy way to get what you need. Here, we'll cover the process for collecting and analyzing a packet capture with netsh.

Windows Server Versioning
With the release of Windows Server 2016 version 1709, Microsoft has changed the way the server operating system is versioned and upgraded. Similar to Windows 10, there are now multiple, distinct servicing channels available for Windows Server. The two options, the long-term servicing channel and the semi-annual channel, are explained below.
