While each physician's personal and professional pressures vary, most research on the topic suggests that to amp up their resiliency and stave off compassion fatigue, clinicians should reconnect to the people and activities that are a source of joy, and make the most of their "downtime" to provide a sense of control amid the chaos.
Gretchen Rubin has written several books on happiness and forming positive habits, including Better than Before, The Happiness Project and Happier at Home. Rubin shared the following tips during her weekly podcast, Happier with Gretchen Rubin.
Take photos of everyday life – the foam on your coffee, rain patterns on the window pane, the assortment of pens and sticky pads in your lab coat – for a new perspective.
Pick a one word theme or phrase for the rest of the year. For example, "novel" to remind you to try new things or finally get your thoughts in print, or "vision" to frame where you see yourself personally, professionally, spiritually, health wise and/or financially in the near future.
Set a timer for writing, painting, baking or any other creative endeavor that you've had trouble fitting into your schedule.
Be a minor expert, meaning if you have an interest in a topic, commit to learning as much about it as you can.
Buy – and read – three magazines that you'd usually never read.
Start a passion project. Much like being a minor expert, follow your gut and pursue that project that keeps you awake at night.
If it only take a minute to do it, do it now and cross it off your to-do list.
Plan a "power hour" each week to knock out lingering tasks.
Turn off your TV to avoid falling into a Netflix binge.
Use reminders on your phone for tasks you keep forgetting to complete.
Use scheduling to build positive habits. Block out time for the gym, meditation, meal prep, etc., on your calendar and don't make excuses when those "appointments" come up.
Set an alarm for your bedtime as well as your wake time to reinforce your routine and ensure healthy sleep patterns.
Give yourself "gold stars" and "demerits" each week. By reviewing your successes and misses, you'll be better prepared next time.

As we prepare for the holiday season followed by a New Year and New Administration, how do we embrace this festive time of year that will most certainly be followed by massive change, when we are already too exhausted to just take a breath?
Lead from your values. No matter what changes in leadership, we as healthcare providers are going to think, plan and do what is best for our biggest priority, our patients. I know what you're thinking: "I'm exhausted and feel like I'm reaching the burnout zone." Well, remember your oath to "Do No Harm." That statement applies to our patients and to ourselves.
How are you doing physically? Emotionally?
Share your findings with someone you love and trust.
Allow time for rest and recreation.
Balance your life: spend time with the people that you love.
Sleep at least eight hours.
Spend time alone each day to slow your mind and calm your body.
I appreciate everything you do for our patients and the communities we serve. I hope you enjoy some quiet time with family and friends during the holiday season. Remember to take time for yourself and follow your own care plan this season.

ID Carding on the Internet
The alcohol industry can do much more to limit young people's attraction and access to its websites. Instead, it creates entertainment cybercafes appealing to those under age, promoting interest in its products at the same time.
Though the alcohol companies say they restrict online access to adults, at many sites, the age restrictions are a virtual joke. On at least one site, any date of birth can be typed in, and access to the site granted. At others, no restrictions are in place at all.
Once inside, a visitor can choose from a variety of games geared toward young people (like air hockey, car racing, and pinball), or other interactive attractions, such as background music, movie clips, or downloadable "instant message" icons, which often carry the logos of products.
A study clearly shows the reach of such marketing. The Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth (CAMY) at Georgetown University reports nearly 700,000 "in depth" visits (meaning three or more "page views" on a site) to alcohol company websites in the last six months of 2003 were from people under the legal drinking age.
That figure amounts to 13.1 percent of all visits to some 55 branded alcohol company sites. (CAMY used a leading Internet audience measurement service to produce its report.)
According to the report, 10 of 15 beer websites feature games, and 76 percent of such sites have parental controls that can be overridden. Something's clearly amiss.
The alcohol industry's marketing codes obviously need strengthening. The Department of Health and Human Services and Congress can do more to call parental attention to this serious matter. The doors are closed to underage persons at liquor stores. They should be closed in cyberspace.

Q: eonasdan bootstrap: unable to increase hours using hour arrow icon I am using Eonasdan datetimepicker version : 4.17.47 by importing this JS file in a project.
Also, I am using some custom validation to make sure that shows a red text when the user enters a time range different than expected. I am no setting minDate or maxDate because the time range is dynamic and can be changed.
Sometimes though, the user is unable to increment hours / minutes by clicking on the up arrow key. The datetimepicker is set to use for only time, thus initialized as:
$("#timePicker").datetimepicker({
        format: "LT",
        allowInputToggle: true,
        keepInvalid: true // the up arrow icon was not working, so I thought this will fix it but it didn't
      });

and the template:

      <input type="text" id="stime" name="time" class="inputText col-md-12 form-control time-picker"
         data-bind="event:{ blur: function (data, event) {$parent.handleDateTimeOnblur.bind(data, $parent, event)() } }"
         required />

         ...

You can see a demo here
I've noticed that when user tries to go to next date using the datetimepicker, it stops incrementing, (The date pickers on this given page are not connected, they are seperately initialized.)
Any help regarding this will be truly appreciated!!

The late, Bonnie Katatumba's daughter, Angella Katatumba, has threatened to show the Chicken Tonight management what it means to be a katatumba. The Sunrise, too, has its ears down on ground, to find out what the Katatumba name is really worth.
Following the incident that happened earlier this week at Chicken Tonight franchise in Kabalagala, when a waiter slapped Angella, close sources told Sunrise Rafiki that Angella went with friends at Chicken Tonight to have a meal; then Angella had a disagreement with one of the waiters who hit her really bad; and then threw her out of the restaurant.
Irate Katatumba left the restaurant without saying or doing anything but promised the management that they would see what she can do. Currently, Katatumba, and her lawyer are demanding 1 Billion shillings from Chicken Tonight, as compensation and damages caused on her. She alleges that during the incident, she got physical injuries and her health is currently ebbing away, and that they even humiliated her in front of the public and yet she is a renowned figure.
For this, Sunrise Rafiki is not sure if Chicken Tonight will go through it since it was allegedly running bankrupt after losing many of its customers to the new restaurants like; KFC, Crazy Chicken, Mr. Fry and Grill.
And following the incident of violence that led to Radio Mowzey death; the general public is also condemning that act. "Chicken tonight is really down for it," Sunrise Rafiki has learnt.

Book World: The best poetry collections of 2019
Published 10:23 am PST, Thursday, November 21, 2019
Be Recorder
Photo: Graywolf, Handout
"Be Recorder"
(BEGIN ITAL)By Carmen Gimenez Smith (Graywolf)(END ITAL)
Moving between short lines and prose poems, Smith's verse can be sharply political or tenderly intimate, confronting the persistence of racism or exploring her mother's decline into dementia. A long piece near the end of "Be Recorder," a National Book Award finalist, starts with a common parental question - whether to order her son a video game - and spins out miraculously into a vast reflection of maternal anxiety and the future of civilization. - Ron Charles
"Deaf Republic"
(BEGIN ITAL)By Ilya Kaminsky (Graywolf) (END ITAL)
Kaminsky's collection, a National Book Award finalist, presents a sweeping drama about a fictional town where residents are oblivious to the military occupation around them. This continues until a deaf boy is murdered, and the people rebel by pretending they can't hear the commands of the soldiers. Kaminsky, who is hard of hearing himself, uses each poem to contribute to the larger narrative arc, which parallels the life story of his own family, who fled Ukraine in the early 1990s. - Elizabeth Lund
"Father's Day"
(BEGIN ITAL)By Matthew Zapruder (Copper Canyon)(END ITAL)
Firmly situated in our political moment, "Father's Day" is anchored by a compelling gravity and urgency. Zapruder juxtaposes a traumatic private event (his son's autism) and a traumatic shared public one with considerable grace and delicacy. Reading these poems reminds us how great - in times of confusion, frustration and shared anxiety - is our human need for tenderness and forthright yet gentle speech. - Troy Jollimore
"The Tiny Journalist"
(BEGIN ITAL)By Naomi Shihab Nye (BOA)(END ITAL)
This powerful collection opens with a poem about Janna Jihad Ayyad, a Palestinian girl who began using her mother's cellphone at the age of 7 to record anti-occupation protests on the West Bank after two members of her family were killed. Nye also recalls her own experience living between Jerusalem and Ramallah as a teenager. The result is a moving testament to the impact one person can have and the devastating effects of occupation.
- E.L.
"The Tradition"
(BEGIN ITAL)By Jericho Brown (Copper Canyon)(END ITAL)
A National Book Award finalist, "The Tradition" illustrates how racism and violence have shaped both the past and the present, our national identity and the individual experiences of those who have been harmed by entrenched wrongs. As Brown confronts history and the fears and beliefs handed down through generations, he raises important questions about trauma and how people endure when injustice touches nearly every aspect of life. - E.L.

Q: Ghostscript doesn't keep landscape page orientation Example:
Create a one sheet landscape PDF from Excel. Open it using Adobe Reader, where it opens as landscape. Print it using Ghostscript. Open printout using Adobe Reader, and it should still be landscape, but it isn't.
This issues happens whether or not the source is a PDF or Excel itself. I use a PDF source in the example because I figured that it would be easier to illustrate the issue.
I know it can probably be forced to be printed using landscape. What I don't understand is why Ghostscript is not using the orientation of the original document. How can I get Ghostscript to keep the orientation of the original document?
PDFWrite config file:
-I"C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.22\lib";"C:\Program Files\gs\fonts"
 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
 -r300
 -dNOPAUSE
 -dSAFER
 -sPAPERSIZE=A4
 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4
 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress
Redmon config:
@"C:\Program Files\gs\pdfwrite.txt" -sOutputFile="%1" -c 30000000 setvmthreshold .setpdfwrite -f -
Printer driver:
Ghostscript PDF

A: You've left the AutoRotatePages switch at the default. The default is to rotate pages so that the majority of text is horizontal, if you don't want that, then set -dAutoRotatePages=/None.
Since you apparently already have a PDF file ? Why use Ghostscript to create another one ? You stand the chance of losing stuff that way.
Since the input is PDF there is no point in the -sPAPERSIZE switch, since that only sets the dfefault media, which is immediately overridden by the PDF interpreter.
If I were you I wouldn't set -dPDFSETTINGS at all, nor -r300 (the resolution setting is mostly pointless for pdfwrite)

Updated Paul Muschick column on Allentown warehouse fire: Clean up the mess by working together
By Paul Muschick
A compromise could be in the works about who will bear the expense of tearing down a warehouse that was gutted by fire on North Franklin Street in Allentown. (LEHIGH VALLEY DRONE / SPECIAL TO THE MORNING CALL)
Enough with the insults, the cheap shots, the grandstanding. For the good of the city, it's time for Allentown Mayor Ray O'Connell and developer Nat Hyman to collaborate on the demolition of the burned-out warehouse on Franklin Street instead of acting like political adversaries.
And I'm happy to say it looks like that finally could happen.
So far, neither side has handled this situation well. City Council hasn't shined, either.
Everyone knew the four-story warehouse at 418 N. Franklin St., owned by one of Hyman's corporations, would have to be razed after it was gutted by a massive fire on Oct. 7. To leave it standing in its unstable condition could have exposed the city and the owner to liability if the building collapsed.
There's no way, though, that the demolition cost should have been thrown completely into the laps of taxpayers as it has been.
Three days after the fire, City Council approved a request by city administrators to budget $1.25 million for the demolition. The work is underway.
Allentown approves $1.25 million for demolition of private building gutted by fire
Vowing to recoup the full cost, Allentown City Council reluctantly approved a request to spend $1.25 million Wednesday for an emergency demolition of a privately-owned building gutted by fire in Center City.
By Emily Opilo
At that council meeting, O'Connell seemed more intent on kicking off his re-election campaign than stating facts. He lashed out at Hyman, whom he faced twice in the race for mayor and perhaps anticipates facing again in next year's campaign.
"A responsible owner would have stepped up to the plate immediately and said I will take full responsibility, I will pay the full cost for the demolition of this property," O'Connell said. "The public is mad as hell and they should be mad as hell. Absolutely positively. This is a farce."
He continued: "We as a city will do anything and everything in our power through legal measures to ensure that all costs are recovered. Mr. Hyman, this is not a threat. It is a promise."
The lecture was unnecessary. O'Connell didn't have to go that far. He made himself appear uneducated because he should have known it would be a long shot, if not an impossibility, for the city to make Hyman pay.
Hyman doesn't personally own the Franklin Street building. He did what any smart businessman would do when redeveloping a property. He set up a limited liability corporation, Cigar Factory Allentown LLC, to own it. That shields him from personal liability. The city can go after the corporation's assets, which probably are limited to the property, and lien the property. But that's it.
What was missing from the Oct. 10 discussion by council and the mayor about authorizing the emergency demolition was input from Hyman. He didn't attend the council meeting that night.
City officials have said they tried to reach Hyman and got no response. Hyman disputes that he was called.
City officials could have done more to contact him. He's not that hard to find.
With all of the development he's done in Allentown, there should be plenty of paperwork at City Hall with Hyman's contact information on it. The Morning Call had no trouble reaching Hyman. Reporters interviewed him at the scene as he watched his building burn, and by phone afterward.
Nat Hyman says he's 'villain in my tragedy' over who will pay to demolish fire-gutted building
The owner of a destroyed Allentown warehouse being demolished now speaks out after a second small fire was extinguished at another property.
By Tim Darragh
I wrote in an early version of this column Thursday that Hyman should have given his contact information to fire officials at the scene so they could stay in touch. He told me Thursday afternoon he did. He hadn't mentioned that during a presentation to City Council on Wednesday night. I wish he would have, because that should have prompted council members to press city administrators about their attempts to reach him.
City spokesman Mike Moore confirmed the fire marshal had Hyman's number but said the proper procedure was for the city's legal staff to contact Hyman's lawyers, and they got no response.
[More Opinion] Readers React: Trade deals are more important than impeachment »
City officials should have dispensed with the legal etiquette and picked up the phone. The worst that could have happened was for Hyman to refer them to his attorney.
Hyman didn't have to wait to be contacted, though.
He could have shown up at the Oct. 10 council meeting without being invited. It was no secret that emergency demolition was being considered. The Morning Call published an article about it the day before the council meeting.
Hyman told me he wanted to be there, but his attorney advised him not to go because it appeared litigation was inevitable and anything he said could be admissible in court. He said in retrospect, it would have been worthwhile to be there, but that he assumed the city already was committed to the job, as equipment had been moved to the site prior to the council vote.
[More Opinion] Readers React: We should convert Allentown State Hospital for condos »
If he had gone and explained he was hiring a demolition contractor, it's possible this whole mess could have been avoided.
At Wednesday night's council meeting, Hyman told council he had planned to demolish the building himself, at his expense. He said council badly overpaid for the job by authorizing a $1.25 million contract. He said he had gotten a bid for $217,325, and called city officials stupid for being willing to pay six times that much.

Nat Hyman goes before city council, which is spending $1.25 million to knock down his fire-damaged building at 418 N. Franklin St.
"I will not pay for someone's stupidity, nor should I be expected to," Hyman said.
He took several jabs at O'Connell's leadership and hinted that any attempts to recoup $1.25 million from him would result in litigation that could cost the city, and its taxpayers, hundreds of thousands of dollars more.

Thursday, another option surfaced.
Council Vice President Candida Affa told me that she, the mayor and other officials will meet Friday morning to discuss Hyman's proposal that the city pull its contractor from the job and allow Hyman to take it over.
That would be a reasonable solution. It would minimize the cost to taxpayers, and put out this fire for good.
6:30 p.m. This column was updated to include additional information from Nat Hyman and that officials will meet Friday to consider a compromise offer.

An Introduction to PEMF Mats
Subscribe on RSS via Email
As more people focus on improving health and wellness, a number of new devices are in the market that are claiming to do everything from boosting energy to curing diseases, and everything in between.
While in the past people relied solely on the information and education of their doctor, today's consumers hold the power of the internet to educate themselves and access beneficial information outside of their doctors scope of knowledge. Today's health-focused consumers now have the ability to empower themselves with accurate, up-to-date information so they can determine which health devices are worthwhile and helpful, and which ones are expensive wastes of money and time.
One health device in particular that is clearly in the worthwhile and helpful category is a pulsed electromagnetic field mat, more commonly known as a PEMF Mat.
A PEMF Mat is a portable mat that produces pulsed electromagnetic fields around an individual's body. This field then delivers healing energy to the body by producing negative ions and far infrared waves.
Specifically, negative ions directly change cellular signalling and open cell channels, which improve cellular functionality (i.e. more nutrients enter, more waste is removed). Far infrared waves stimulate and strengthen the body's nervous, endocrine, circulatory and lymphatic systems.
Widely used in Europe, and growing in popularity across North America, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy has been used for decades by doctors, chiropractors, naturopaths and even veterinarians. In the past, PEMF devices were quite large and prohibitively expensive for most of the general public. Today, however, PEMF devices are used in many homes, and costs have fallen considerably.
In terms of specific health benefits, to date, PEMF therapy has been used to:
Decrease pain
Improve post-surgery healing
Treat psychological disorders
Improve blood circulation
Provide chronic pain relief
Regenerate nerves
Improve wound healing
Improve immunity
Increase bone density
Improve energy and vitality
Enable relaxation and reduce stress
Eliminate bodily toxins
Help burn calories, improve muscle tone and control weight
Reduce stress and fatigue
Relieve anxiety and promotes relaxation
New studies also point to the possibility that PEMF therapy can help diseases, positively affect cartilage homeostasis, and even increase nitric oxide activity, which is linked to a number of benefits such as: improved memory, stronger immune system, reduced inflammation, increased endurance and strength, improved gastric motility, and more.
So, how does a PEMF mat differ from the BioMat?
Although they are both mats and share some of the same health benefits, they are actually quite different… a PEMF device uses an electromagnetic pulse to administer healing. The BioMat combines far infrared light, negative ion technology and the healing properties of amethyst crystal to deliver its. The list of health benefit bullets above all apply to BioMat use, but there is a key feature that the PEMF device cannot list:
Amethyst Crystals actually elongate and amplify the natural wavelength of a key component to the treatments, the far infrared rays, allowing them to penetrate up to 7 inches deep into the body. By comparison, other far infrared technologies may only penetrate less than half that depth. Amethyst's healing properties have been acknowledged and celebrated for centuries by ancient scientists and healers. Now, modern science has confirmed the highly conductive properties of this remarkable mineral. Amethyst crystals offer the most consistent and powerful delivery of far infrared light waves, and ionic effects to the human body.
Another factor to be aware of is expense. PEMF devices cost at least twice what the BioMat professional does and four times more than the BioMat mini. If you are in the market for such a healing device, it is a good idea to understand all your options before making a decision.

More people than ever in the Netherlands are morbidly obese despite a fall in the overall obesity rate, according to latest official figures.
Around 100,000 people, or 0.9 per cent of the population, are classed as having the most severe of the three levels of obesity. Overall 14.2% of people are obese, two and a half times the rate at the beginning of the 1980s, the national statistics agency CBS said.
Despite the increase the Netherlands has one of the lowest levels of obesity in Europe, with only Italy and Romania below the Dutch level of 13% in 2014, the last year for which comparative figures are available. The European Union average is 17%.
Women are more likely than men to be clinically obese, with 14.7% of women and 12.7% of men having a form of obesity. Obesity is also more prevalent among older people, with almost a fifth of people aged between 65 and 75 classed as obese. Among people under 30 the proportion is three times smaller (6.7%).
A further 36% of the population is deemed to be overweight but not obese, meaning nearly half of all Dutch people are over the healthy weight limit. Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of more than 30, while anyone with a BMI above 25 is overweight.
Surgeon Eric Hazebroek told the Radio 1 Journaal that although obesity was increasingly recognised as a chronic illness caused by a combination of hereditary and lifestyle factors, more could be done to reduce the problem.
'People should be better informed in supermarkets about the amount of sugar in products. Schools and sports club canteens should also pay more attention to this issue,' he said.

Jean de Laforcade, Seigneur de La Fitte-Juson, aka Jean de Laforcade, Seigneur de La Fitte-Suzon (sic), aka Jean de La Forcade, aka Jean de La Fourcade, aka Jean de la Fourcade, aka Jean de Lafourcade, aka Jean de Laforcade, aka Jean de Fourcade (* About 1555, presumably in Auvillar; † about 1639, in hamlet of Montclaris, in Sigalens, Gascony), was the son of Protestant nobleman Jean de Laforcade, Seigneur de La Fitte, and a descendant of the noble family of Forcade of Béarn in Navarre.

Attorney General of the Chancery of Navarre (1589–1594), Counsellor on the Conseil Souverain of Navarre and Béarn (1594–1609), Counsellor at the Criminal Court of Béarn ("Conseiller à la Chambre criminelle") (1595), Attorney in charge of Impounds ("Maître de Fourrière") for Catherine de Navarre (1596-1599), Attorney in charge of Petitions ("Maître des requêtes") (1599-1606), Judge in the Seneschalty of Sauveterre (1606–?), a Senior Diplomat for Marie de' Medici, queen mother and Regent of France (1611–1615), and the King's Prosecutor in Oloron (1619).

At least one highly-reputed 19th century genealogist, Gabriel O'Gilvy, referred to him as "…one of the most important men in Béarn…". He is cited several times as "Jean de La Fourcade" in the "Mémoires authentiques de Jacques-Nompar de Caumont, duc de La Force, Maréchal de France", Baron, Governor of Navarre and Béarn (16 March 1593-1621), Viceroy of Navarre, Captain of the Guard Corps, Lieutenant to the King in Béarn, Marquis (1609), Marshall of France (1622), then 1st "duc de La Force, Peer of France" (1637), Seigneur de Castelnaud.  He is also named several times in letters between the Queen Mother of Navarre and this latter.

Life and occupation

Jean de Laforcade was a lawyer by occupation. His career reflected both his own, and his family's, close relationship to Antoine of Navarre and to his wife and later widow, Jeanne d'Albret of Navarre, to Henry IV of France, and, following his assassination in 1610, to his widow, Marie de' Medici in her capacity as the queen mother of Louis XIII of France and de facto Regent of France from 1610–16. Marie de' Medici was imprisoned by her son, Louis XIII of France, in 1617, who then banished her from France and executed many of her closest allies, at which time Jean de Laforcade's career followed a similar negative direction.

Chronology:

 The earliest known citation of Jean de Laforcade is in 1576, with the recording of a donation of 250 Bordeaux francs at the notary Arnaud-Guilhem Du Torner in Pau, made by Jean Secondat, Seigneur de Roques, President of the Chambre des Comptes of Navarre in Nérac, to Jean de Lafourcade, his godson, a student at the Royal Academy of Lescar.

 Appointed Attorney General of the Chancery of Navarre in Pau on 26 April 1589 and resigned on 10 May 1594. In 1594, the Estates of Béarn request of Mr. de Bénac, Lieutenant General, the revocation of the appointment of Jean de Laforcade, appointed as Attorney General of Navarre, because he did not understand Basque.
 1590, payment of an allowance of 100 livres to Jean de Lafourcade, Attorney General of Navarre, to purchase a red robe.
 In 1593, a first notarized testament of Jean de Laforcade, Attorney in charge of Impounds ("Maître de Fourrière") for Catherine de Navarre, at the Notary Guilhamy de Labat in Pau.
 1595, appointed Counsellor at the Criminal Court of Béarn ("Conseiller à la Chambre criminelle").
 In 1596, a second notarized testament of Jean de Laforcade, Attorney in charge of Impounds ("Maître de Fourrière") for Catherine de Navarre, at the Notary Pérarnaud de Camps in Pau.
 About 1598–99, the sale of tithes by Jean Du Pac, Seigneur de Bizanos, to Jean de Laforcade, Seigneur de Lafitte, Attorney in charge of Petitions ("Maître des requêtes").
 About 1599, the marriage by notarized contract in Pau between Samuel Du Jac, Minister in Anoye, and Judith de Laforcade, daughter of Jean de Laforcade, Attorney in charge of Impounds ("Maître de Fourrière") for Catherine de Navarre.
 The marriage by notarized contract at the Notary Ramon de Majourau  in Pau, between Jean de Minvielle, lawyer, and Marie de Laforcade, daughter of Jean de Laforcade, Attorney in charge of Petitions ("Maître des requêtes"), between 1605 and 1606.
 Counsellor on the Conseil Souverain of Navarre and Béarn (1594-1609), resigning on 11 January 1606 in favor of his son-in-law Jean de Minvielle from Oloron, with "lettres de surannation" dated 9 July 1607 granting an extension to further exercise his position for two further years. Jean de Minvielle was received on the Conseil Souverain of Navarre and Béarn on 3 December 1607.
 Judge in the newly-erected Seneschalty of Sauveterre in 1606.

Baron Jacques-Nompar de Caumont wrote in his letter from Fontainebleau dated 30 November 1606 to his wife, Charlotte de Gontaut-Biron:

"…I am glad for that which the arrival of Mr. de la Fourcade announces for me, he
will assist me in many things, because he has not yet been touched by any of the
affairs of Béarn; in such a manner that you feel that I would be very distant from
power from here, before breaking camp [in Fontainebleau], at least the way I see it…"

And again in his letter from Paris dated 21 December 1606 to his wife:

"…The last news I have of you was sent by Mr. de la Fourcade, written from
Cugnac; I long to learn of the joyous birth of our daughter in Castelnaud.
I do not think I can leave here sooner than around the fifteenth of January,
because it will take me fifteen days, after breaking camp, to wrap up my business…"

 In 1607, he is cited in his capacity of Counsellor on the Conseil Souverain of Navarre and Béarn as providing the position of professor of Hebrew at the Royal College ("College Royal") in Lescar, to Bernard de Majendie, who was appointed and elected by the said university on 12 August 1607 to replace Gratien de St.-Goadens who had died. Subsequently, the Royal College ("College Royal") was transferred back from Lescar to Orthez, where it previously been prior to 1592, with letters of confirmation from the King dated 7 December 1607.
 As an elder of the church in Saint-Palais, he was one of the three deputies elected by the Reformed Church of Béarn to represent the États de Béarn at the General Assembly of the Reformed Church of France in Saumur, together with Pierre de Gontaut-Biron, Baron d'Arros, and Gaillard du Casse, Pastor of Salies-de-Béarn in 1611.

Marie de' Medici, queen mother of Louis XIII of France, in her capacity as the Regent of France, expressed her annoyance concerning the election of the Deputies for Béarn to the Assembly of Saumur in a letter dated 18 May 1611 to the Marquis de La Force:

"…Pending this, I will not conceal that I found very bad the deputation made by those
of the Religion alleged reformed of Béarn of Messrs. the Baron d'Arros, de Fourcade
and du Casse, that they, for their part, find themselves at the Assembly of Saumur,
notwithstanding the opinion [I have] of their persons, which I consider as was
told to me, and they will conduct themselves there as the righteous ones at the
entertainment of the State in which they have their fortunes and their families; but
as the consequence, having never done this during the life of my lord the late King
and not having had any reason since his death, as you all too well know, and the
good treatment they received from the King, my son and I; how shall we continue
should they give us reason. What you will make them understand, and that which they
will need to properly demonstrate by their actions and behavior in the said Assembly,
should give me complete satisfaction, which I dare to promise should they behave
according to your instructions, on the assurance I have that you will give so
instruct them, as well as to others who find themselves at the said Assembly, as
your loyalty and affection to service to the King, my said Sire and son, and to the
State, makes me hope of you. And this I pray to God, etc. Written in Paris, the 18th
day of May 1611. [Signed:] Marie. [And a little lower:] de Loménie."

In a letter written by the now Marquis Jacques-Nompar de Caumont, from Saumur, to de Loménie, Secretary of State for Navarre dated 30 June 1611:

"Sir, you will see from what I write to the Queen, and to the Messieurs of the
Chancery of Navarre, the reason for hurry, that you will well be able to judge by
the state of affairs such that things do not remain as they are. There is a letter
from Mr. de Saulguis, Counsellor, to Mr. de La Fourcade, that orders him, that the
Viscount d'Échaux and all of the country arm themselves with anything they can,
having great apprehension to receive an unwelcome arrival. I beg you hold the
matter in your hands such that it be reviewed according to the importance of the
facts, and I should be particularly well-informed concerning the wishes of His
Majesty (sic) and what I would have to do…"

From Jacques-Nompar de Caumont, Duke de La Force's memoirs, Jean de La Fourcade's pivotal role at the center of the disputes between the Catholic and Reformed churches in Pau, is illustrated. In an excerpt from these memoirs, he describes how, upon returning to Béarn near the end of 1611, he found that each side was fanning the fires to warm up their courage, Catholics to Catholics, and Protestants to Protestants. The Catholics were "…persuading Catholics that those of the Reformed Religion wanted to step on their throats and have at them at the first opportunity offered…". Those of the Reformed Religion "…persuading those of the Reformed Religion that the Catholics had the same desire, that their destruction was assured, and that the Council of their Majesties had nothing in terms of recommendations except to get rid of them…". The Protestants felt "…they could fairly judge from the little account that had been taken of their demands, and by the fact that everything that had been granted to them was turned against them to their disadvantage and to the advantage of the Catholics, such as, the entry of the Bishops to the Conseil [Souverain de Béarn], the Mass held in the city of Pau against the content of the Edict of Nantes, and the general refusal of all their demands, be it the puny wage increase of thirty livres per year that each of their ministers might receive, or be it the gratuities the three deputies, Messieurs d'Arros, de La Fourcade and du Casse, were granted by His Majesty, whose pensions were the only wages for the little care and vigor they gave to the affairs of their temples, considering these special advantages a public shame…".

 In his capacity as Counsellor to the King on his Conseil de Navarre (conseiller du roi en son Conseil de Navarre), he was appointed by the Queen Mother as one of the three commissioners to Spain to conclude a peace treaty following the fighting in the Aldudes mountain in Lower Navarre in the autumn of 1612, together with Bertrand d'Échaux, Bishop of Bayonne and brother of the Viscount d'Échaux, Seigneur de Baigorry, and Jean d'Esquille, sieur de Lannevielle, Attorney General of the Chancery of Navarre in Saint-Palais.
 After France and Spain reached an agreement on 21 November 1614, he was again selected by France on 13 May 1615 to be one of their five representatives for the implementation of the agreement.
 On 16 July 1613, an auction by Isaac de Lechimia, Jurat of Pau, of a house and furniture belonging to Jean de Laforcade, an inhabitant of Pau, to the benefit of Raymond de Vinsan, Captain in Nay.

Marquis Jacques-Nompar de Caumont furnishes a few details in his memoirs concerning this affair, confirming that during 1615, Jean de La Fourcade was with him in Saint-Palais. In a letter addressed to his wife, on the subject of the state of affairs in Navarre, written from Saint-Palais on 13 July 1615, he wrote:

"It is by the means of Mr. de La Fourcade, who dispatched a man to Pau; and so that
you can see that we are all good husbands, he will bring you news about us. I still
cannot send you news of the Estates, because we are still at the beginning; but I am
given hope that news will not be long. As concerns our neighbors, the cattle they
stole were returned in exchange for a bail. I have not yet seen the Viscount d'Échaux;
he was feeling worse, as I learned there that those from Upper Navarre want to
affirm the rights they claim, so what we must do will depend on the King's wishes.

He again names Jean de La Fourcade in a letter to Mr. de Loménie written from Pau in November 1615:

"…I will tell you the pain I foresee; it is up to you, Sir, who can see more
clearly there, to apply the remedies that I so very humbly beg of you, as is
also the case in the matter of the Aldude, on which subject I received two
letters from the Viscount d'Échaux et de la vallée de Baigorry, that I send
you, where you will see the lamentations of these poor people, who are dying
of poverty this year, their corn having been frozen and their millets burned.
I hear that Mr. de Bayonne quickly dispatches, waiting for the Sieur de La
Fourcade to follow, who he feels must make the trip, since they have broken
their treaty with the Commissioners of Spain, who with their proposals, only
provisionally did not want to give the people of Baigorry either rights or
usage in Aldude…"

Wage payment records at the Chambre des Comptes of Navarre show compensation paid for 1615 to de Laforcade, Counsellor d'État de Navarre.

He was stripped of his nobility by the King before 12 May 1616, probably shortly before 16 July 1613, allegedly for the dérogeance of acquiring some farms in the Pays de Marsan, in present-day department of Landes.

Charlotte de Gontaut-Biron, who a few years later would become the Marshal and Duchess de La Force, finally names Jean de La Fourcade in one of her letters, from Pau, dated 12 May 1616, and addressed to the Marquis de La Force, her husband. This letter is of particular significance in that it speaks of Jean de La Fourcade loss of nobility.

"Sir, we learned by way of letters from Bordeaux that peace was published in Blois,
that the Chancellor was dismissed, his office given to Mr. du Vair, First President
of the Parliament of Provence, who was sent to exercise the office; God grant it
may be to his glory, the pleasure of the righteous and to the benefit of the State!
Mr. de La Fourcade also sends the same wishes to you, Sir, and added his request to
restore him and his family in all their charges, honors, dignities and pensions, and
that the rest of his affairs are going well enough. I do not know if this news will
change your opinion for your return, and if it will not hasten it. Mr. d'Espalungue
received letters from Holland that summon him that this War of the Jülich Succession
restarts, and that one of the Archdukes, whose name I did not retain, makes grand
preparations and armaments to lay siege to that place there…"

 In 1619, he was the King's Prosecutor in Oloron.
 Jean de Laforcade participated in the meeting of the Estates of Béarn, presided over by King Louis XIII of France on 19 October 1620, as evidenced by a document written by a member of Parliament. An excerpt, translated into English, reads:

"Opening of the Estates of Béarn, performed by the King, during which
he was given 16000 petits écus.

After the dinner on Monday, the 19th of the month of October, we left the Council
toward one o'clock in the afternoon, Messieurs de Casans, President, Laforcade,
Du Pont, Loyard, Dufour, Laugar, Gillot, Lendressc, Marca, Claverie, all three of
the King's staff, and I, in a red robe, to participate in the opening of the
Estates, that took place in the great lower hall of the castle, where a small
stage or theater was set up, on which there was a chair, on which the King sat…"

Jean de Laforcade apparently returned in later life to spend the last years of his life near his sons in parish of Saint-Martin de Monclaris, in the house he built, Caubeyran Manor. Jean de Forcade is named in a limited number of notarial acts in the first half of the 17th century with the simple qualifications of merchant, farmer and inhabitant of the parish of Saint-Martin de Monclaris in the diocese of Bazas. Jean de Forcade obtained letters from the Bishop of Bazas authorizing him burial rights in the parish church itself, in the commune of Sigalens, on 20 June 1639.

The Caubeyran Manor ("Seigneurie de Caubeyran") is located in the hamlet of Montclaris, in Sigalens. According to records, it was built "…during the reign of Henry IV of France…", which began in 1589, by a Captain Jean de Forcade, who was married to the daughter of the Seigneur de Barbuscan, Jehan de Lucmajour, and completed about 1598. Louis de Forcade, his grandson, son of  Jean de Forcade, Seigneur de Saint-Genest, Squire, and Noble Marie de Laurière, Damoiselle de Moncaut, is cited as Seigneur de Caubeyran at his marriage in 1653. According to records, Forcade descendants still owned the property in 1828.

Although he did not live to see it, his sons and their descendants were restored to their nobility with letters of rehabilitation issued by King Louis XIV of France on 11 July 1651 or 13 June 1655, that reestablished them "…in their ancient nobility…" and "…forgave them of the dérogeance committed by their father…". Only one of his sons lived to see the registration in a judgment by the Court of Aids (the Court of Appeals) of Guyenne in Libourne on 27 March 1656 or 27 May 1656, but the descendants of at least two of his sons further continued the noble descendance.

Gabriel O'Gilvy put forth that he was the son of Gaston de Forcade, who was born about 1480 in Orthez. Chaix d'Est-Ange and other authors, however, cast serious doubts on this claim, mainly because O'Gilvy did not provide any source citations to support his claim, and because of, what they considered as, an unforgivable age difference of about 75 years between the two births. Chaix d'Est-Ange felt that one or more generations were missing in between. Recent 21st century research confirms that two generations were, in fact, missing. And, there is new evidence to indicate that these missing generations descended instead from Raymond de Forcade, Gaston's youngest brother.

Family

Parents

Jean de Laforcade was the son and heir of Protestant Noble Jean de Laforcade, Seigneur de La Fitte, aka Jean de Forcade (* Before 1525; † December 1589 in Pau), General Treasurer of the King and Queen of Navarre in their County of Armagnac (Trésorier général pour les roi et reine de Navarre en leur comté d'Armagnac) in 1556–57, General Treasurer of Navarre (Trésorier général de Navarre) in 1580, Counsellor to the King on his Conseil ordinaire (Conseil d'État), President of Finances (Président aux Comptes) in 1586, First President of the Chambre des Comptes of Navarre at the Parliament of Navarre in Pau on 14 September 1589.

He married by notarized contract with Odette de Rey at Maître Ouzannet, notary and secretary of the commune of Laplume, Gascony, on 29 April 1554. In this marriage contract, he is qualified as both a Noble and a Squire. Odette de Rey, was the sister of Noble Jacques de Rey, Seigneur de La Salle, who was a captain and the military commandant of the village of Laplume.

Marriage

Records related to the noble manor of Caubeyran in the hamlet of Montclaris, in Sigalens show that the mansion was originally built during the reign of Henry IV of France, and completed before 1598, by a Captain Jean de Laforcade, who married a daughter of the Seigneur de Barbuscan after 1576, at the time Jehan de Lucmajour. The two families were members of court of the Albret family, the rulers of Lower Navarre. The Seigneurie de Barbuscan bears an uncanny resemblance in name to the Château de Barbazan, of which the Captain Desliges was appointed Captain (Governor) on 16 February 1571 at the Chambre des Comptes of Navarre in Pau.

Children

He had at least four sons and two daughters:

 Pierre de Laforcade, aka Pierre de Forcade (* before 1578, presumably in Auvillar, † after 1656), Lawyer, Lawyer at the Parliament of Navarre, Jurat in Pau (1626), and Director of the Mint in Pau (Garde en la monnaie de Pau) (1622–56) and Head of the Mints of Navarre (Général des Monnaies de Navarre) (1634). He married with Marie de Maserolles before 1601, then again with Jeanne de Pargade before 1627.
 Jean de Forcade, Seigneur de Saint-Genest († Before 1656). Together, he and his son are the founders of the branch of the sieurs de Saint-Genest and the sieurs de Caubreyan.
 Étienne I. de Forcade († After 1656). Together, he and his sons are the founders of the branch of the sieurs de La Grézère and the sieurs de La Roquette.
 An unnamed son who carried on both the family name and the responsibilities of being the King's Prosecutor (Procureur du roi) in Oloron, as evidenced by the coat of arms registered in the Armorial de Béarn in 1697.
 Marie de Laforcade († Before 19 January 1609) who married Noble Jean de Minvielle, Seigneur du Domecq de Dognen, between 1605 and 1606.
 Judith de Laforcade, who married Samuel Du Jac, Minister in Anoye, in 1599.

Son-in-Law
Jean de Minvielle, cited as his son-in-law in 1606, is cited as Noble Jean de Minvielle, Seigneur du Domecq de Dognen, who, on 19 January 1609 furnished a notarized receipt to Noble Jehan du Peyrer, sieur de Tres Villes, his father-in-law, given as dowry for his wife, Marie du Peyrer, in her first marriage. Jean de Minvielle, Seigneur du Domecq de Dognen made his testament on 20 November 1617 and Marie du Peyrer married a second time with Abraham de Brosser, Bourgeois and merchant in Orthez. Damoiselle Marie d'Aramitz is named as "…widow of the late Jehan de Peyré, Seigneur of the noble house of Lisabe and Casamayeur by conquest, and the aforesaid d'Aramitz, gives usufruct of the aforesaid house of Lisabe and Casamayeur in Toisvilles…", in an act dated 28 November 1613. Damoiselle Marie d'Aramitz and Dame of the noble house of Troisvilles, signed an act marie daramits at the royal notary in Soule on 1 October 1628.

At the marriage of Pierre II. de Day, Co-Director of the Mint of in Pau ("contre-garde en la Monnaie de Pau"), with Damoiselle de Anne de Basson, aka Anne de Saint-Martin, by notarized contract at the Notary Jean de Souberbie in Pau on 8 December 1619, the bridegroom was assisted by Maître Pierre I. de Day, also Co-Director of the Mint of in Pau ("contre-garde en la Monnaie de Pau"), his father, Roger de Day and Jean de Day, his brothers, and Jean de La Forcade and Jean de Minvielle, Counsellors to the King, his allies by marriage. The bride was assisted by Damoiselle Agnès de Saint-Martin, also known as Agnès de Bassot, her sister, a resident of Pau, Maître Guillaume Salinis, husband of the aforesaid Saint-Martin, her brother-in-law, Hierosme Norman, General Clerk of the Finances of the King ("commis-général des finance du roi"), her uncle, Maître Isaac de Lostau, Damoiselle Agnès de Normans, widow of the sieur de Lacoste, Counsellor to the King, and Catherine de Camo. Pierre I. de Day, the father, had been provided with the office of Director of the Mint in Morlaàs ("garde de la Monnaie de Morlaàs") on 5 March 1598, following the resignation of Maître Denis Bergeron, aka Denis Vergeron, by Jacques de Caumont, Seigneur and Baron de la Force, Counsellor to the King on his Conseil Souverain of Navarre and Béarn and Conseil Privé, Captain of one of the Corps of the King's bodyguards, Governor and Lieutenant General representing the King in Navarre and the souverain lands of Béarn.

The noble houses of Casamayor and of Elissabé were originally sold on 1 May 1584 by Bernard d'Échauz to Isabelle de Sauguis, widow of noble Jean d'Abbadie d'Izeste, Captain, aunt of Marie d'Aramitz, for 9,000 Bordeaux francs at the Royal Notary de Sanz de Conget in Soule, and this sum was reimbursed by the Seigneur Jean du Peyrer, Bourgeois and merchant from Tardets, to noble Jean d'Abbadie, proxy of Damoiselle Isabelle de Sauguis, his mother, on 25 January 1608.

Other Family

Circumstantial evidence points to other close family members and descendants. Due to incomplete or missing protestant church records, the exact relationship is not known.

  Jean de Forcade, Seigneur de Sauroux († After 1656), Squire, in or near the town of Sauveterre, is named and cited as a first cousin of the petitioners in article eight of the 1656 judgment by the Court of Aids of Guyenne that restored his sons Jean de Forcade, Seigneur de Saint-Genest and Étienne I. de Forcade, and their descendants, to their ancient nobility. He is the son of an unnamed brother of  Jean de Laforcade, Seigneur de La Fitte-Suzon. This article of the judgment, translated into English, reads:

"…Eighth, they have produced an investigation conducted in the town
of Sauveterre in Béarn, by the authority of the elected officials of
Guyenne, at the request of Jean de Forcade, Squire, Seigneur de
Sauroux, first cousin of the petitioners, by which it is amply
verified that their ancestors were genuine nobles, and as such have
always held rank at the [Order of the Nobility of the] Estates ofthe land of Béarn…"

 Noble Jacques de La Fourcade assisted his first cousin, Damoiselle Isabelle de Médevielle (sic) from Pon, daughter of Noble Jean de Médevielle (sic) and Damoiselle Marie de Souberie, at her marriage by notarized contract at the notary Jean de Bareilhes in Ossau on 8 January 1602, to the widower, Jean de Rague-Labadie, seigneur d'Espalungue and the abbayes of Laruns.
 Abraham de Laforcade in Saint-Gladie, provided declaration of his assets there to the Chambre des Comptes of Navarre in Pau on 21 November 1674. On the same day, Jean de Minvielle aka Labonnie from Saint-Gladie, provided a declaration for a piece of land called Lacoutre situated in Saint-Gladie to the Chambre des Comptes of Navarre in Pau on 21 November 1674.
 Noble Étienne de Forcade, seigneur de Chantine, the son of Noble Daniel de Forcade, seigneur de Chantine, a lawyer in Orthez, and his wife Damoiselle Barthélémie de Bonnecaze, baptized 8 February 1643 at the Protestant Temple in Orthez, married with Marie de Majendie in the Protestant Temple in Baigts on 20 January 1669, She was the daughter of Pierre de Majendie, Doctor of Medicine in Orthez, and his wife Magdelena de La Borde; the granddaughter of the Bernard de Majendie who was appointed as Professor of Hebrew at the Royal Academy of Lescar, subsequently transferred to Orthez, by Jean de Laforcade in 1607.
 Catherine de Forcade de Dognen (from Dognen), who was the second wife of Pierre Chassevant, a Captain in Navarrenx, who notarized his testament on 3 March 1582. This latter's name bears a strikingly close resemblance to another Captain in Navarrenx at the same time, Assibat de Badie, aka Assibat de Casanab, Seigneur d'Espalungue, aka the Captain Casabant, who married with Catherine de Bescat, aka Catherine d'Espalunge by notarized contract on 9 August 1562.
 David de Forcade, Seigneur du Domec de Dognen, owner of a noble property in Dognen, in the Seneschalty of Oloron who married with Jeanne de Portau on 19 April 1635. Jaurgain puts forth his claim with proof that she was the younger sister of Isaac de Portau aka "Porthos", one of the legendary three mousquetaires, and d'Artagnon's best friend, both children of Isaac de Portau from his second marriage to Anne d'Arrac. The house was destroyed and is no longer standing today.

A Guardian Solid Roof is a high performance insulated roof system for conservatories. When you choose a Guardian Solid Roof system, you remake your conservatory into a space that is usable all year round. No more stifling heat in the summer or freezing cold chills in the winter!
Our impressive workmanship means that all customers will have a 10 year guarantee with their Guardian solid roof. We always offer our customers the best price on the market, so they can reap the benefits of our services all year round!
Why Choose a Guardian Solid Roof?
Guardian Solid Roof systems are considered to be more attractive than their direct competitors because tiles and cappings are more streamlined and unobtrusive. A Guardian Solid Roof conservatory offers a large amount of options when it comes to window and door selection and can be finished internally with both plaster and UPVC.
Conservatory owners are plagued with seasonal problems that prevent them from using their conservatories. Conservatories often struggle to retain heat during winter and become freezing cold; however, the opposite is true in the summer, with the glass roofing amplifying the sun's glare, making the roof unbearably hot. Having a Guardian Solid Roof installed onto your current conservatory can combat these problems, making the room toasty in the winter months and delightfully cool in the summer. Updating your conservatory roof could also lead to other added benefits that include protecting your furniture from fading, reducing your energy bills and preventing your plants from wilting.
Internally there is a number of finishes to choose from including plaster and UPVC. Externally, Smart Conservatory Solutions can ensure that the exterior tiling is as similar as we can get it to the existing exterior decor. We also source materials from TapcoSlate, a leading manufacturer of tiles made from a mix of UPVC and limestone, creating an authentic but durable look with a 40 year guarantee!

Uber Driver Released On $250 Bond After Charges Of Kidnapping, Assault Of Passenger
Alanis King

Maryland police arrested an Uber driver Thursday on charges of kidnapping and assault of an unconscious female passenger, the Washington Post reports. The passenger's friends called an Uber to take her home after an alcohol-induced blackout, according to records, but the driver took her to a motel instead.
Fox News reports that police believe driver, identified as Westagne Pierre, 29, did initially drive the woman to her Virginia home on Oct. 18. But Pierre didn't drop her off, and instead took her to a Maryland Budget Inn where Fox News reports that he checked in using his own information.
Surveillance video from the motel shows a man identified as Pierre carrying a motionless woman from the back of the car and into a motel room, according to the Washington Post. The report goes on to say police documents state that Pierre stayed in the room for "some time" before leaving, and Prince George's County Police documents say Pierre also used the woman's credit card at a 7-Eleven. He made a $14 purchase, and Fox News reports that Pierre was also charged with fraudulent use of the card.
Pierre originally had a $150,000 bond in relation to the charges, but wound up paying a mere $250—yes, $250—in bond to be released from custody. Pierre's attorney, Esteban Gergely, told the Washington Post that the low bond reflects a lack of strong evidence.
Gergely also told the Washington Post Pierre denied a lack of consent from the woman that night. Remember, he's talking about a woman who appeared to be unconscious in surveillance video. From the Washington Post:
"The facts of the case are very peculiar and they fall extremely short of being incriminating," Gergely said. "There were no facts in the statement of charges that suggested he did any injury or trauma."
Gergely said that at a bail hearing Friday the judge questioned whether there was enough probable cause to detain his client.
"She's saying she doesn't remember anything," Gergely said. "If she doesn't remember anything, she certainly doesn't remember saying, 'I don't want these things to happen.' "
According to the Washington Post, Uber confirmed on Friday that they banned Pierre from the app after the woman contacted them with concerns on Oct. 19. An Uber spokesperson called the situation "deeply upsetting" and said the company has been working with police on the investigation.

Freshwater fish hatchery biologists raise fish to be stocked into Texas' lakes and rivers. Fish they raise may be used to bring back a species that has disappeared from a lake or to provide more fish for people to catch in a lake, stream, or bay. There are many kinds of jobs to do at a fish hatchery. Hatchery biologists work for state and federal fisheries agencies, and private aquaculture farms. Workers who feed fish, maintain hatchery facilities, and do much of the field work are often called technicians and have at least a high school degree. Many have a bachelor's degree. Biologists oversee the health and nutrition of fish, as well as ensure safe transport of fish to the places where the fish are stocked. Biologists usually have a master's degree in fishery biology or a related field.
