At Meldrum one of our specialties is working on heritage sites and Grade I and II listed buildings. In recent years we have become renowned for this and through our expertise and quality of workmanship we have been able to secure prestigious and highly specialised projects.
Meldrum is a member of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, and we take great pride in our work to ensure the listed structures we work on are treated with the upmost respect and care that they deserve. Some of the iconic heritage projects we have worked on include St Nicholas Cathedral and the Bruce Building in the centre of Newcastle, and we have recently undertaken the refurbishment of the beautiful St Hilda's Colliery in South Shields. In Bishop Auckland there are 2 projects underway – the restoration of Auckland Castle itself, and the creation of The Spanish Gallery in the market square.
The importance of careful and intelligent preservation is paramount throughout these heritage projects, and at Meldrum we pride ourselves on being able to offer the skills and expertise required.


I actually bought this for my son. He had one last year and he loved it.
In an age where everything is on your phone, it is wonderful to have an easy to use, handy, pocket calendar. I would be lost without it. I hope you will always carry it. Thank you.
I have used these Christian Pocket Diaries since 1992 -- they are pocket-book sized and handy, displaying a week at a time. Room for memos and quick jots, space for addresses, with prayers at end. Thoughtfully made.

Q: VS code Intellisense not working for mongodb models methods I am writing a resolver function wherein I am expecting the VS intellisense to give suggestions for the mongodb methods e.g. when I type models.Note I am expecting 'find', 'findById' methods from VS intellisense.
const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    hello: () => 'Hello World',
    notes: async () => {
      return await models.Note.find();
    },
    note: async (_, args) => {
      return await models.Note.findById(args.id);
    }
  },

A: You can try to import the Note model directly.
if IntelliSense still does not work, you can use jsdoc, actually you can use it in both situations.
/** @type {import("mongoose").Model} */
const Note = require("@models/note.model");

// or

/**
 * @typedef {object} DestructuredModel
 * @property {object} models
 * @property {import("mongoose").Model} models.Note
 */
/** @type {DestructuredModel} */
const { models } = require("mongoose");

for further jsdoc
and another answer about jsdoc may be useful

Photos of Saint Ignatius of Loyola Church, in Concord Hill, Missouri
HERE ARE PHOTOS of Saint Ignatius of Loyola Church, in Concord Hill, Missouri. The church is in Warren County, and is about 63 highway miles west of downtown Saint Louis.
The hamlet of Concord Hill is unincorporated, and it gets its mail out of Marthasville. This is a rural region of the state, and is the westernmost county in the Archdiocese of Saint Louis.
This church was founded by Jesuit missionaries and is named after the founder of their order. This church was built in 1930, but Jesuit mission activity here dates from at least 1838; a mission church was built on this land in 1840; it became a diocesan parish in 1857.

For the Greater Glory of God
Sesquicentennial Celebration Mass
Parish Center Dedication and Dinner
✝AMDG✝
MOST. REV. J.J. GLENNON D.D. ARCHBISHOP
✝REV. A.H. PVETTER PASTOR✝
AMDG = Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, Latin for "To the Greater Glory of God", a motto of Saint Ignatius.
According to a pamphlet in the church:
A tract of land was purchased by Rev. Peter J Verhagen, Provincial of the Jesuits, from the St. Louis Land Office On October 1, 1840. He deeded this land to Archbishop Peter Kenrick on July 18, 1857. The original lot of 40 acres thus became the property of the St. Louis Diocese.
Above the sanctuary is Christ the King, an image from the Apocalypse.
The tabernacle.
The ceiling of the apse has nice decoration; click on the photo to see more detail.
Flanking the altar are statues of Mary and Joseph.
As might be expected in a church built in 1930, most of the windows are abstract and modern, like this one to the left, and the following rose window. The window on the right is one of four in the sanctuary, and they represent the four creatures in the Apocalypse, interpreted as being symbols of the four evangelists.
Rose window above the choir loft.
Statue of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, born as Inigo Lopez de Loyola (1491-1556) and founder of the Society of Jesus.
Door in the narthex.
The church grounds have many flowers.
Crucifix in the church's new cemetery is dated 1957. Burials in the old cemetery predate the parish and date from at least 1818. Since the locations of many of the early graves are now unmarked, the old cemetery can no longer be used, leading to the opening of a new cemetery in 1946.
The parish school, which started in 1872. Behind this building is a parish hall, now under construction. In the great Catholic tradition, the tuition of this school is negotiable.

Critical issues in PhD training for biomedical scientists
Rudy L. Juliano, Gerry S. Oxford
The rapidly changing world of modern biomedical research is raising important new issues for traditional PhD training programs and is creating concern among young PhD scientists about their futures. Specifically, the United States is producing substantially more biomedical PhDs than can be accommodated in professional positions that truly require the PhD as a credential. The "surplus" PhD population is being relegated to poorly paid, unstable, and increasingly unsatisfying jobs. In addition, many current graduate and postdoctoral training programs may not be adequately preparing young scientists for the more complex, more quantitative biological science of the future. Finally, many current graduate training programs are not attracting a sufficient portion of the most talented young people in the nation. To ameliorate these problems in the training and early career paths of basic biomedical scientists, the authors make specific recommendations, such as urging (1) that graduate trainees should be supported exclusively by competitive individual fellowships, training grants, or institutional funds and not by RO1s or similar research awards; (2) that graduate and postdoctoral stipends be increased so that they provide a reasonable living wage; and (3) that research-intensive academic institutions create a career path for biomedical PhDs other than that designed for the traditional tenure-track, grant-funded principal investigator and faculty member. They conclude that it is in the interest of faculty and institutions to make these and other drastic changes because the current system is both inherently unfair and self-destructive.

Center Offers Outsourced RFID Solutions
Solution providers team to launch radio frequency ID deployment center to help clients comply with mandates
Houston — January 26, 2004 — SIS Technologies, a Sun Microsystems iForce Partner, in conjunction with Distribution Center Logistics (DC Logistics) and Transport Industries, have formed an RFID Deployment Center intended to enable customers to comply with shipping into Wal-Mart's RFID Pilot Distribution Centers (DCs) in the North Texas area.
The RFID Deployment Center, located near Dallas, is a 150,000 square foot facility that will be operated by DC Logistics. It offers the ability to integrate a large number of disparate RFID technologies into an overall solution that meets the specific logistical needs of each customer.
SIS said that RFID Deployment Center services comply with current mandates from Wal-Mart, the US Department of Defense (DOD) and others. Additional capabilities include product and pallet tagging, cross-docking and consolidation services, making this the first full-function facility for RFID deployment, according to SIS.
Until now, adding RFID to a customer's logistics operation was viewed as disruptive because it altered the normal supply chain process. The RFID Deployment Center's third party logistics (3PL) environment provides solutions to relieve the customer of the burden of managing this disruption to their current logistics functions.
"RFID is more than just a technology challenge, so we sought to enter this market from a broader perspective," said John Reed, chief operating officer of SIS Technologies. "We partnered with DC Logistics and one of Wal-Mart's largest grocery carriers, Transport Industries, because these companies have extensive industry knowledge and existing supply chain customers."
DC Logistics handles warehouse and transportation management for import/export as well as domestic distribution. They offer storage, handling, packaging, inventory planning, RFID tagging and shipment planning from their facility in Hutchins, Texas.
"This will be the first fully operational RFID-enabled 3PL facility to manage multiple clients," said Douglas Chaney, president of DC Logistics. "RFID technology is evolving, and an operational facility is the best place to foster the evolution, rather than in a lab setting. Vendors can outsource their test-market compliance functions and subsequently implement their internal RFID infrastructure at their own pace."
"Transport Industries has inter-DC optimization technology that utilizes mobilecomm truck information," said Mike Voelk of Transport Industries (TI), a current supplier to DC Logistics. With over 1,600 QUALCOMM-equipped trucks dedicated to deliver to Wal-Mart's DCs, "this technology enables economical fulfillment between the center and Wal-Mart DCs," Voelk said.
The synergy of these partners allows them to create end-to-end RFID strategies and offer outsourced RFID solutions, SIS said. "RFID is frequently called a 'disruptive technology,'" said Reed. "However, the RFID Deployment Center will make RFID a reality for our customers in a way that is least disruptive to their business operations and profitability."

Art lovers will soon be able to view Yayoi Kusama's psychedelic, immersive work "LOVE IS CALLING" in its new permanent home at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston (ICA/Boston).
The 2013 work, whose acquisition by ICA/Boston was announced this week, is one of Kusama's 20 existing "Infinity Mirror Rooms".
The immersive installation offers a psychedelic environment featuring vividly colored, tentacle-like, inflatable sculptures covered with the artist's signature polka dots, all of it within a mirrored room that creates an illusion of infinite space.
"LOVE IS CALLING", which premiered at Mori Art Museum in Japan, joins one other Kusama work in the ICA/Boston collection, a 1953 work on paper depicting organic forms, dots and colors.
"'LOVE IS CALLING' showcases the breadth of the artist's visual vocabulary -- from her signature polka dots and soft sculptures, brilliant colors and the spoken word, to endless reflections and illusions of space and self," said Jill Medvedow, the museum's director.
The work is set to go on view at ICA/Boston in fall 2019.

Middle school following orders in gender sensitivity training
Part 11 of 11 in the series LPS gender sensitivity training
By Deena Winter | Nebraska Watchdog
LINCOLN, Neb. — Irving Middle School was thrust into the international spotlight last summer simply for following orders.
Internal documents obtained by Nebraska Watchdog show the Lincoln Public School District encouraged school administrators to train school staff in gender sensitivity, which caused the dust up.
LPS administrators, during routine summer training, participated in a breakout session on gender identity, and each school's equity liaison was given handouts "from national speakers with recognized expertise in this area," according to the LPS documents obtained under the open records law.
The equity liaisons were encouraged to observe the Gay-Straight Alliance's National Day of Silence (to protest LGBT bullying, name-calling and harassment); advised not to let their personal or religious beliefs overshadow professional behavior and given the controversial "genderbread person" document last year, according to LPS documents.
The handout, written by "social justice comedian" Sam Killermann, said gender isn't binary, it isn't either/or and encourages kids to define their gender based on how much they align with "what you understand to be the options for gender" such as "two-spirit" and "gender/queer." LPS has since said it's looking for a better alternative to the genderbread handout.
PENGUINS: A Lincoln, Neb., middle school at the center of a controversy over gender sensitivity training was encouraged by school district administrators to do such training.
School administrators were told students should be allowed to determine their gender identity and preferred pronoun — he or she — and were warned that "gender-based discrimination" is illegal.
They were told to "effectively implement gender inclusive practices that help build the foundation for a safe school for all students" and urged to evaluate all "gender-based" policies, rules and practices that might marginalize, stigmatize and exclude students.
As for whether transgender students can use the restrooms and locker rooms they identify with, administrators were told to review each case individually.
After the summer training, LPS multicultural school community administrator Thomas Christie emailed LGBT documents to middle school principals Aug. 5, encouraging them to train teachers.
Lincoln Superintendent Steve Joel
Four days later, Irving Principal Susette Taylor asked several teachers to integrate LGBT sensitivity into staff training, according to internal emails. She emailed LPS "transgender resources" to Irving's multicultural liaison and cultural proficiency team leader, Spanish teacher Nancy Stanley, and asked her to incorporate the training into the school's first professional development meeting.
Stanley reached out to LPS transition specialist Irene Prince and Southeast High School English teacher Sara Danielson — because she'd heard they spoke at the LPS leadership conference on the topic of LGBT.
According to an outline of the Irving training, both Danielson and Prince talked about their "personal experience" with nonconforming genders and sexualities.
But after a teacher who was not comfortable with the training leaked some of the handouts, the story exploded.
A day later, Assistant Superintendent John Neal was supportive of the principal, saying in an email to her, "By the way, great job in leading your building and helping create an environment of welcomeness at Irving. … As (Superintendent) Steve (Joel) said, it is our moral and legal obligation."
Joel alerted his school board that some parents had obtained copies of the training materials, writing, "Their view seems to be that tax dollars should not be used to promote inclusiveness that families take exception to."
LPS officials met the morning the story broke and came up with "talking points" that were sent to middle school principals, according to internal emails. Chief among them was that the school district has a moral and obligation to do the training.
The school board has steadfastly defended the training, even more so in private emails.
School board member Don Mayhew emailed LPS officials on Oct. 1, the morning the story came out, alerting them that Rachel Terry, the mother who notified other parents about the gender training, might show up at the next board meeting. He asked whether he should encourage another parent who is "very much on our side in the transgender debate" to show up at the meeting, too.
"My experience with these kinds of events/issues is to let them play out and see how deep the sentiment/perceptions are," the superintendent replied.
Three days after the story broke, the superintendent sent an "update" to school board members saying, "What was discussed at Irving was part of our cultural proficiency commitment and should be occurring on different levels in all of our schools. Kudos to our building leadership."
He lamented some media accounts, especially those that portrayed the boy and girl issue as a mandate. He took issue with Nebraska Watchdog's story on the controversy, saying it would "probably go national" and calling it "muckraking at its best."
In an email to Joel, LPS spokeswoman Mary Kay Roth called the Watchdog story a disjointed "hack job" and suggested he reject an interview request. The first third of the story is a description of the training handouts, and then the story quoted what Joel told a radio talk show host and opponents' opinions. LPS has never notified Watchdog of any errors in the story.
School board member Ed Zimmer, in an email to supporters, derided opponents of the training as "misinformed."
"Most of the negative responses I've received have been from misinformed people outside our community," he wrote Oct. 13. "Insight trumps incite, in my book."
Joel was firm from the start that LPS would not budge on the issue, writing in an email that he hoped parents didn't show up at the board meeting, since "there isn't any policy that is going to be created or revised as a result of this."
"We will continue to be respectful of differences of opinion but will not change our intent to use PD (professional development) to help staff improve," Joel wrote.
Indeed, a few weeks later the school board concluded that no policies needed to be revised in the wake of the controversy, as requested by some opposed to the training.
But within a month, Joel would order the training documents withdrawn from schools, saying they weren't "appropriate, purposeful and clear." Internal emails indicate the school district was already looking for better alternatives to the training materials.
The controversy has prompted the formation of a parental rights group that is looking for candidates to run for three seats on the school board in the spring — Terry has said she intends to run — and is circulating a petition calling on LPS to affirm parental rights. Hundreds of people have shown up at school board meetings since Oct. 1. A dozen people talked about the issue during the Tuesday night board meeting — including three students who brought "genderbread" cookies in support of LPS.

Gavin Hood (* 12. Mai 1963 in Johannesburg, Südafrika) ist ein südafrikanischer Filmregisseur, Drehbuchautor und Schauspieler.

Biografie

Der in Johannesburg geborene Sohn eines bekannten Naturfotografen besuchte die Privatschule St. Stithians College. Danach wollte er ins Filmgeschäft, auf Drängen seiner Familie entschloss er sich jedoch, an die University of the Witwatersrand zu gehen, wo er das Studium des Rechtswesens abschloss. Er praktizierte anschließend einen Beruf im Rechtswesen, gab diesen allerdings nach einem halben Jahr auf, um Schauspieler zu werden.

1989 verkörperte er die Hauptrolle in der von South African Broadcasting Corporation produzierten Fernsehserie The Game, ein Drama über Rugbyspieler. Nach dem direkt auf Video veröffentlichten Horrorfilm Curse 3: Blood Sacrifice (1991) trieb er Geld zusammen, zog in die Vereinigten Staaten und studierte Film an der University of California, Los Angeles. An der UCLA verlieh eine Jury, der beispielsweise Steven Spielberg und Michael Douglas angehörten, Hood 1993 für ein von ihm verfasstes Drehbuch den Diane Thomas Screenwriting Award. Um verfilmt zu werden, sollte das Drehbuch, A Reasonable Man, amerikanisiert und mit einem Happy End versehen werden, womit Hood nicht einverstanden war.

Wieder nach Südafrika zurückgekehrt, machte er sich als Regisseur von Fernsehserien über Themen wie AIDS, Prostitution und Kindesmissbrauch für das Gesundheitsministerium einen Namen. Für diese Arbeiten wurde er unter anderem mit einem Artes Award, einem südafrikanischen Filmpreis, ausgezeichnet. Nach kleinen Nebenrollen in mehreren US-amerikanischen, wenig Aufsehen erregenden Filmen wie Shadowchaser 2 (Project Shadowchaser II, 1995) und Operation Delta Force 2: Mayday (1998) verwirklichte er mit dem 22-minütigen The Storekeeper 1998 seinen ersten 35-mm-Film. Der Kurzfilm handelt von dem Besitzer einer kleinen Gemischtwarenhandlung in Südafrika, der nach einigen Überfällen beschließt, sich endlich zu wehren. Das mit 30.000 Pfund realisierte Drama gewann Preise auf zahlreichen internationalen Filmfestivals, unter anderem den Großen Preis auf dem Melbourne International Film Festival.

Der große Erfolg des Kurzfilms ermöglichte ihm, das Drehbuch A Reasonable Man zu verfilmen. Der schließlich 1999 veröffentlichte Film handelt von einem urbanen Anwalt (gespielt von Hood selbst), der einen Fall untersucht, bei dem ein Hirtenjunge ein Baby umgebracht hat, da es von einem bösen Geist besessen gewesen sein solle. Das Budget des auf dem Internationalen Filmfestival in Karlovy Vary mit dem Preis der Ökumenischen Jury ausgezeichneten Films betrug laut Schätzungen 60.000 US-Dollar.

Sein nächstes Projekt war der ungefähr 4,2 Millionen US-Dollar teure Abenteuerfilm W pustyni i w puszczy, in Polen produziert und auf dem gleichnamigen Roman von Henryk Sienkiewicz basierend. Hood sprang für den Polen Maciej Dutkiewicz ein, der wegen einer Nierenstein-Erkrankung nicht Regie führen konnte. Der unter anderem auf dem Giffoni Film Festival prämierte Kinderfilm handelt von zwei Kindern, die von ägyptischen Rebellen entführt werden und nach ihrer Flucht die Wüste durchqueren müssen. W pustyni i w puszczy war der erfolgreichste polnische Film des Jahres 2001.

Die Verfilmung eines Romans von Athol Fugard erschien 2005 unter der Regie Gavin Hoods. Das als Tsotsi betitelte Drama mit Presley Chweneyagae in der Hauptrolle handelt von einem Neunzehnjährigen in den Slums von Johannesburg, der sich mit Überfällen und Morden durch das Leben schlägt. Der circa drei Millionen US-Dollar teure Film stand in der Gunst der Kritiker und gewann mehrere, international anerkannte Filmpreise, so unter anderem den Oscar als Bester fremdsprachiger Film.

Im November 2006 begannen die Dreharbeiten zu Hoods erstem US-amerikanischen Spielfilm Machtlos. Der Regisseur konnte Reese Witherspoon und Jake Gyllenhaal für den im Mittleren Osten spielenden Politthriller gewinnen. Der Film wurde am 7. September 2007 auf dem Toronto International Film Festival 2007 uraufgeführt.

2009 drehte er den X-Men-Ableger X-Men Origins: Wolverine mit Hugh Jackman und Liev Schreiber, der im Mai des gleichen Jahres in den deutschen Kinos anlief.

Helghan Empire
" My Duty To The Emperor, My Life For Helghan."
—Helghast Soldier's Oath Of Allegiance
Killzone, Killzone: Liberation, Killzone 2, Killzone 3, Killzone: Mercenary
Leader Scolar Visari (2347-2359)
Admiral Orlock (2359)
Jorhan Stahl (2359-2390)
Planet Helghan
Status Destroyed
Purpose Government
The Helghan Empire was the totalitarian governing body on planet Helghan, ruling over the Helghast people. The founder and first ruler of the Empire was Autarch Scolar Visari.
The Empire was the instigator of the Second Extrasolar War in which they attempted to conquer the entire Alpha Centauri system and expanding its domination over Earth's colonies. They failed to achieve their goals and leading to ISA retaliation which resulted in the death of Visari and a volatile power struggle amongst the Helghast leadership. Ultimately, the Empire was utterly decimated in the planet-wide devastation, the Terracide, in 2360.
The survivors of planet Helghan were granted refuge on Vekta where they found New Helghan, the official successor state of the Empire. Those that remained on Helghan were secretly united under Jorhan Stahl; seeking to rebuild their Empire and swearing revenge on their enemies.
Overview Edit
The formation of the Helghan Empire occurred in 2347, more than a century after the First Extrasolar War against the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance and United Colonial Nations, but no more than a decade before the second war. Helghast leaders, including Scolar Visari, continue to impose the belief that the Helghast race is superior to humanity, creating not only intense distrust, but also an expanding hatred of UCN, ISA, or any other form of foreign rule. The Helghast think of themselves as a master race, who should be ruling the perceived "lesser" human race. They serve as the primary antagonists of the original Killzone trilogy.
The Exodus Edit
Following the First Extrasolar War, the Helghan Corporation was dismantled and all its assets seized by the UCN. Vekta, once a planetary holding of the now-defunct Helghan Corporation, was turned over to direct ISA rule, and colonists from Earth were brought in to supplement Vekta's corporate-affiliated population. However, tensions soon rose between the Earth minority and Helghan corporate majority, resulting in Helghan resistance fighters targeting and killing many Earth-loyal citizens in terrorist attacks. The ISA governors' response was to enact more and more economic sanctions and military punishments on the Helghan-affiliated colonists in retribution for the Helghan persecution of Earth-loyal colonists.
By 2220, in the face of such persecution, all loyal Helghan corporate colonists had chosen voluntary relocation to planet Helghan, where years of hardship awaited them. In order to leave for Helghan, they purchased and refurbished the original colony ships they had used to reach Alpha Centauri. Since neither the UCN or ISA wanted to fund this new colonization attempt, they were then declared to be a sovereign nation, with Helghan being their territory in perpetuity and was subjected to ISA blockades and restrictions until, "diplomatic relations" were normalized. The Helghan settlements recreated the former Helghan authority to rule over all affairs on Helghan, but this rule was often inefficient and corrupt. Their human bodies were ill prepared for the harsh environment of Helghan, resulting in most of the first generation dying only a short while after they arrived in the system. However, by 2305, future generations had evolved an increased biological resistance to the harsh atmospheric conditions, some even discarding the common breathing masks that many colonists still relied upon.
Birth of the Helghast Edit
From 2330 to 2350, due to incredibly unfair trade rates enforced by the ISA, Helghan was hit by a major economic depression, leading to widespread poverty and famine across the planet. This grim situation gave rise to Scolar Visari, a highly charismatic politician, who capitalized on the economic crisis and the people's growing anger against the ISA and the Helghan Administration, in which millions from all segments of Helghan society fell under his will.
In 2347, Visari staged a successful popular coup against the ruling Helghan Administration after feigning an attempt on his own life, and declared himself the "Autarch". Under Visari's rule, he reforged the Helghast into a true independent power in which he rebuilt Helghan's economy by breaking the ISA embargo of their world to trade directly to off-world black-market suppliers and unaligned colonies before settling a contract with the ICSA for energy and materials, and drastically enlarging the Helghast Military.
Seeking to further transform the Helghast, Visari created his brand of Helghast culture based on Helghan superiority. He immediately instigated Helghan into a highly secretive militant state, and instigating a complete media takeover on Helghan. He re-established hostilities with the ISA in his bid to conquer Vekta and exact revenge on the UCN, and this conflict became now known as the Second Extrasolar War.
Second Extrasolar War Edit
In 2357, the Helghast attempted to conquer and subdue Vekta by utilizing two high-ranking spies within the ISA in order to disable Vekta's Orbital Defense Network, allowing the Helghast Third Army to land on Vekta without any resistance in space before utilizing the Vektan defense platforms to be use against UCA reinforcements. Although they nearly conquered the planet, ultimately, the invasion failed in preventing the UCA from reinforcing the ISA and the Helghast were pushed off Vekta entirely, but managed to captured ISA nuclear weapons and other advanced weapons. By 2359 the ISA subsequently launched a retaliatory strike against Helghan, establishing a beachhead at Pyrrhus in a bid to capture Scolar Visari and dismantle the Helgast regime.
During the first hours of the ISA invasion, the Helghast forces fanatically defended the capital before utilizing Arc Pillars in destroying and delaying the bulk of the ISA ground forces under Avenger Convoy, preventing them from advancing further to Visari Palace and capture the Autarch. The ISA discovered the Petrusite Grid under the Maelstra Barrens and attempted to destroy it, but was beset by a surprise attack by Helghast forces in a daring raid to obtain the nuclear launch codes for several ISA nuclear warheads captured by the Helghast in their failed invasion of Vekta. During a pitched battle in the skies above Helghan, the Helghast successfully destroyed several ISA cruisers, including the ISA flagship, New Sun. However, the New Sun crashed itself into the Petrusite Grid as it came down, destroying it and deactivating almost all of Pyrrhus' defenses in Pyrrhus. However, as the ISA celebrated, the Helghast used the codes they had acquired to detonate a nuclear warhead in Pyrrhus, wiping out the vast majority of the ISA invasion force, and the remaining Helghast forces within the city.
The remaining ISA forces launched a desperate assault on Visari Palace during which they destroyed a massive Arc battery in Visari Square, fighting their way to the palace courtyard and front entrance in a relentless attack. Thereafter, ISA commandos Rico Velasquez and Tomas Sevchenko fought their way through the last of Visari's forces within Visari Palace itself, killing Colonel Mael Radec, military leader of the Helghast troops and personal bodyguard of Scolar Visari himself. Afterwards, Velasquez and Sevchenko stormed Visari's throne room to arrest him, but Visari was killed by an enraged Velasquez. Before he died, Visari swore that he would be seen as a martyr if he was to be killed and that "Helghan will dissolve into chaos", which is exactly what happened. Helghan fell into a state of civil war as different political factions rose to claim power left vacant in the wake of Visari's death. The remaining ships of the ISA fleet were either destroyed or withdrew from Helghan entirely, while the ISA troops that weren't able to withdraw became stranded on Helghan, with no way of receiving any further aid, and no other transportation off Helghan.
With Visari dead, the Helghast military and the main Helghast weapons manufacturer, Stahl Arms, began to wage a political struggle to take control of the Helghast government, while the stranded ISA troops were forced to battle for mere survival. Eventually, the political struggle for control of the Helghast government came to a climax, only made worse by successful operations conducted by the ISA remnants.
Helghan devastated in the Terracide.
In a meeting between the Helghast military leader (and recently crowned Autarch) Orlock and Stahl Arms chairman Jorhan Stahl, a skirmish erupted between forces led by the two leaders, resulting in the death of Autarch Orlock. This plunged the Helghast race into civil war, allowing the ISA forces to destroy Stahl's experimental cruiser before he could enact his plan to eradicate all life on Earth. The resulting Petrusite explosions set off from Stahl's cruiser destroyed a massive space station, the entire Helghast invasion fleet destined for Earth, and violently irradiated all unprotected life on planet Helghan in which this devastation is later known as the Terracide.
With the ISA forces having escaped Helghan onboard hijacked Helghast ships and currently en route home to Vekta, with at least one, or possibly two most capable successors to Visari's throne killed, and its own homeworld irrevocably devastated by energized Petrusite radiation, the Helghan Empire is totally destroyed.
Immigration and Cold War Edit
The flight to Vekta
Following the destruction of Helghan, the empire's remaining population was forced to emigrate to Vekta after the ISA granted them refuge, and established the nation of New Helghan. However the Helghast largely refused to assimilate into "human" culture, creating a societal divide between the native Vektans and embittered Helghans. Over the next thirty years this societal divide would continue to grow and widen, leading to the planet wide wall and subsequent cold war.
The Vektan and Helghast governments would engage in covert operations against each other. The remaining survivors on Helghan were united by Jorhan Stahl, and under the guise of mining operations prepared for 30 years to invade Vekta once again, amassing a vast armada of ships and military forces hidden under the surface of the planet.
Government Edit
The Helghan Empire was a militaristic totalitarian state. It was headed by the Autarch, the supreme leader of the Helghast with the power to create any law or pass any choice with no opposition to their will. The Autarch was advised by the Helghast Senate, a council of supposedly ten individuals with ties to the Helghast military and other powerful organizations in the Empire's society. Admiral Orlock, commander-in-chief of the armed forces and second Autarch of the Empire served as a member of the Senate and was a close friend of Autarch Visari. Other forms of management beyond the Senate are currently unknown, and unlikely to be seen.
Military Edit
Main article: Helghast Army
The Helghast peoples' lives of extreme hardship naturally make them hardened soldiers. Most of Helghan's fiscal and natural resources go towards the military, leaving little for domestic development. The Helghan military's primary tactics primarily relate to the implementation of vicious, rapidly sweeping surgical strikes reliant on the element of surprise, focusing almost completely on offensive based strategies. However, the Second Extrasolar War has shown that the Helghast military is adept in defensive tactics as well, springing numerous traps and ambushes on unwary ISA forces.
Ideology Edit
The Helghan Empire's nationalistic ideals emphasize the superiority of the Helghast, a strong military, and total commitment to the Helghast government. Their ideals are symbolized by the Helghast Triad, which emphasizes duty, obedience, and loyalty.
Helghast troops in formation.
Helghan brutality is widely accepted in their society. They do not hesitate to execute those who are not born up to standards or who sympathize with humanity. By the events of Killzone 3, Helghan atrocities are quite prevalent, mostly from Stahl Arms mercenaries, such as executing surrendering ISA troops on the spot, or even shooting them when their backs are turned.
Also, a notable example is shown when Jorhan Stahl casually shoots an ISA prisoner, causing a bound and startled Captain Narville (who was scheduled to be executed on live television) to shout "We are prisoners of war! We have rights! You have violated the Stockholm Treaty!" to which a cruelly bemused Stahl chuckles and replies "Stockholm? What planet do you think you're on?!" Prisoners of the Helghast are often tortured to death or even used as unwilling test subjects for a number of agonizingly fatal experiments, showing the sadistic habits of Stahl Arms affiliated personnel.
The military is above all the most prized element of the Helghan Empire. The vast majority of the Helghan Nation's resources are spent on the military and Visari's propaganda-related structures in Pyrrhus, leaving very little for the average Helghast civilian's well-being. Also, many high ranking officials in the Helghast military hold very little compassion for their own soldiers or even Helghast civilians in general, let alone any shown to the people of Vekta and anywhere else in the galaxy. The Helghast military's extensive damage inflicted towards Vekta, and the detonation of a nuke in their own capital of Pyrrhus shows their deep hatred for human life and complete disregard for collateral damage, only having a total commitment to their objectives no matter the cost.
Alphabet Edit
The Helghast use their own form of a symbol alphabet, similar to Eastern Asian written languages. Visari implemented this system claiming it was an attempt to control speech by restricting the use of 'outmoded' Earth alphabets. This is actually a form of newspeak, designed to dissuade alternative thinking, as there is no symbol for 'surrender'.
The word "Helghast" is a combination of "Hell" (suffering, terror, fear), "Heil" (nazi salute), and "ghast" (ghastly).
The Special Armed Garrison from Kerberos Panzer Cop.
There are similarities between the Helghast's attire and the Protect-Gear created by Japanese mechanical designer Yutaka Izubuchi from the Kerberos Saga. But there's no evidence to suggest they are a direct inspiration as Guerrilla Games stated nothing to confirm or deny it.
Most Helghast speak with a multitude of different British accents. Regular troops have an east London or Welsh accent, Shock troops and a few commanding figures such as Colonel Armin Metrac speak in a central London dialect, while their Autarch Scolar Visari (voiced by Brian Cox) has a Scottish voice. There has been criticism from UK fans towards the Helghast seen in the titles prior to Killzone: Shadow Fall as the Helghast all have British accents and following similar ideas to the Nazi party.
Guerrilla Games have confirmed that the Helghast were inspired by many former empires and/or regimes throughout history. One aspect of influence is the totalitarian regime of Josef Stalin's Communist Russia, with the implementation of a Cult of Personality being a central ideology used by Scolar Visari to hold power. However, arguably the strongest influence, and the group with which the Helghast are most often linked, is the Third Reich; much of the Helghast's society, imagery, military doctrine and attire strongly evokes images of Nazi Germany. In fact the term "Space Nazis" is a Killzone fan-coined term referring to the Helghast.
As a result, most, if not all Helghan weaponry are based on weapons made and used by the Nazi forces during World War II, an example of this is the MG-42-based StA-3 LMG, both mounted and portable.
The ISA sometimes refer to the Helghast colloquially as "Red Eyes" or "Higs".
The Helghast Soldier appears as a Minion in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
Occasionally when the player is killed in Killzone 2, 3 and more often in Mercenary and Shadow Fall the Helghast soldier responsible will taunt the player's corpse as they die, provided the soldier is close by and facing the player.
A Helghast Soldier appears as a unlockable minion in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale as well other Helghast characters as icons.
The Helghast Sackboy Costume was released on the PSN Store for LittleBigPlanet and included 32 Killzone-themed stickers.
Interestingly, the Helghast soldiers had Dutch names in the multiplayer of Killzone, as did multiplayer bots in Killzone 2. This is likely because the game developers are Dutch.

From our years of helping couples heal from affairs of all kinds, we have discovered that emotional affairs can create immense disconnect and prevent relationship bonding and growth. Plus, the topic itself can be a real source of conflict — especially when one partner is suspicious, and the other accuses them of overreacting, worrying too much, or being controlling.
That's why, in this month's blog, we give you the key things to look for to help you identify an emotional affair when it's happening and essential tips to start healing and repairing from it.
If you are the partner concerned your beloved is having an emotional affair, we hope you find this information validating. If you are the one engaging in an emotional affair, we offer some loving guidance to help you get honest with yourself about what's really happening and to find a way back into connection and getting the love you really want with your beloved.
One of these things alone would not necessarily constitute an emotional affair, but if you have at least two, it's a sign this friendship is detracting from your relationship more than you realize.
Any energy you are putting into this friendship is energy you are not putting towards nurturing your relationship and finding creative solutions with your beloved.
Plus, love is built on trust, and trust is what keeps your marriage or relationship together. It's impossible for you and your beloved to be truly close and best friends if you are keeping things from them.
So, let's look at what you can do to start healing from the negative effects of this friendship and redirecting that energy into strengthening and growing your committed relationship and making it better than ever.
(1) Begin opening up vulnerable conversations with your beloved about what you need more of in your relationship. If these conversations tend to end in arguments and misunderstandings, get outside support to ensure you will be heard and find solutions.
(2) Start nurturing your relationship. It's so much easier to judge our partner and feel dissatisfied when we're disconnected. Put energy into bonding and growing together.
(3) Create distance from the friend. In some cases, completely end the friendship.
(4) Stop flirting, stop confiding in your friend about your relationship challenges, and stop doing anything (implicit or explicit) that would feed your sexual chemistry.
(5) Speak only positively about your beloved to this friend, and speak positively about them often.
(6) End all secrets, and be 100% honest, forthcoming, and transparent about any time spent with this friend.
(7) Surround yourself with other people in great relationships and who are highly faithful (affairs can be very contagious and permission-giving in social groups).
(8) Acknowledge and validate your beloved's feelings, give them a space to be heard and empathized with, avoid defensiveness, and apologize for anything you've done that has negatively impacted your relationship.
(9) With an open heart, let your beloved know you want to work on making things better and growing your relationship.
Emotional affairs are a slippery slope, and we lovingly encourage you to stop them in their tracks, and use this as a ripe opportunity to explore ways you can nurture the relationship you are already in.
We recognize that many emotional affairs happen because the relationship is overdue for growth and connection. We are fully here to help you strengthen your relationship and create the kind of love you both really want — and to help make it way easier than you may think. Learn more about our counseling sessions here. Also, be sure to check out our Thrive in Love retreat, as we're excited to be expanding the number of locations where it is being offered! This retreat is phenomenal at reigniting the spark, renewing your love, and taking things to a whole new level! Dates are now set for the Chicago area, Bloomington, Indiana, and Hood River, Oregon.
Thanks so much, and we're sending all of our love and blessings to you in this wonderful season of rebirth, renewal, and new beginnings and possibilities!

Kurdish mothers longing for children abducted by PKK continue protest despite threats from HDP
ISTANBUL War On Terror
Sep 28, 2019 12:00 am GMT+3
Kurdish mothers stage a sit-in protest in front of the HDP headquarters in southeastern Turkey's Diyarbaku0131r, Sept. 27, 2019.
Sep 28, 2019 12:00 am
The People's Democratic Party (HDP) has threatened the Kurdish mothers, demanding the return of their children from the PKK, hoping to provoke them. Yet the mothers are determined to continue their peaceful protest until they find their children
Despite threats from pro-PKK Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) supporters, Kurdish mothers continued their sit-in protest in front of the HDP's headquarters in southeastern Diyarbakır province.
The latest threat came from HDP supporters who said to the protesting mothers: "Our patience has reached its limits. Our youth will do what is necessary to do," while entering the headquarters, implying that the mothers would be "taken care of."
This verbal attack led the peacefully protesting mothers, who have lost their children to the PKK terrorist group, to attempt to follow the HDP supporters inside the building. Tensions were reduced after the police came to calm the mothers. Nonetheless, a mother became ill due to the incident and was hospitalized.
Reacting to the HDP supporters, the mothers underlined that they will continue th
eir movement until they find their children. Ayşegül Biçer, one of the mothers, said that they are not afraid of either the HDP or the PKK, which is why they are staging a sit-in protest.
"We want our children back. Since we want our children, they want to make us look like we are the ones who are criminals. They insult us. They do not have a sense of shame," Biçer said, saying that she is ready to give her life if necessary. "Even if I fail to bring my child back, I would set an example for thousands of young people. We will not leave here without finishing the PKK," she added.
Her husband Rauf Biçer indicated that it had been 25 days sinc
e they launched the sit-in protest, and since then, HDP supporters often try to stir up trouble.
"We have been here for 25 days. Why don't they do what 'they have to do?'" If they have the power to remove us, why don't they remove us? We want our children back, which is our natural right. We do not want their building, properties, salaries, children. We want our children," he said, adding that if they support the PKK, they can send their own children to the mountains. "My child should come back and serve his own country," Biçer said, speaking of his 16-year-old son. He asserted that there is no support left in Turkey for the terrorist group.
The HDP, long facing public reaction and judicial probes over its ties to the PKK, is under pressure due to this growing civilian protest movement launched by mothers and local families.
The sit-in has been ongoing since Sept. 3 with the number of families reaching 51, including five Iranian families whose children were abducted by the PKK's Iranian wing, the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK).
Meanwhile, on Friday, another mother joined the sit-in protest. Immihan Nilifirka traveled from Istanbul to join the sit-in protest, which is growing every day. She claimed her son was kidnapped by the PKK four years ago in Istanbul.
Nilifirka said her son went out after having his meal at home on March 21, 2015, and never came back. Mehmet was 22 when he disappeared.
"[...] He had two months to graduate [from Ege University in Izmir]. There has been no news since then. We went everywhere. I came here to support other mothers and to get my son back hopefully," said the grieving mother.
Initially, a lone protest was started by mother Hacire Akar in front of the HDP provincial office in Diyarbakır last month. Akar wanted to see the return of her 21-year-old son, Mehmet Akar, who had been missing for three days after he was abducted by the PKK terrorist group. Following her sit-in, and with the help of security forces in Diyarbakır, Akar was finally reunited with her son.
Another mother, Mevlüde Üçdağ also said that they have no (more) strength to stand, while a father, Süleyman Aydın, said that they will not give up due to the HDP's provocations.
"They attack us, insult us, sniping through windows and spitting. They make a comment whenever they walk around us. These are provocations," he said.
They kidnap children, Aydın said, adding that their claim that they support Kurdish rights is nothing but a lie.
Families accuse the party's leaders of sacrificing regular people's children, while providing luxurious lives for their own kids, showing photos of party Co-chair Pervin Buldan's son in a luxury car in Paris. Another photo showed Buldan's daughter sitting in a cafe in London. Previously, photos of Buldan's son, Neçirvan, showed him resting near a villa swimming pool.

Two New Books
I here re-post information from Keith Knapp's email list about two recent books: Chandler's Expressing the Heart's Intent and Cook & Luo's Birth in Ancient China. Congratulations to all!
This fall SUNY Press published Marthe Atwater Chandler's Expressing the Heart's Intent: Explorations in Chinese Aesthetics. Here is a brief description to give you a sense of its contents:
Using Li Zehou's theories of aesthetics, argues for the importance of the arts to philosophy.
In this wide-ranging examination of the concept of zhi ("the heart's intent") as the foundation of Chinese aesthetics, Marthe Atwater Chandler places traditional Chinese aesthetics in conversation with contemporary Chinese theory and traditional western philosophy. Poetry, music, painting, and calligraphy played much the same role in the development of thought in China as science did for philosophy in the west, with important implications for the relationship between art, religion, politics, and morality. Inspired by the work of Li Zehou, a leading contemporary Chinese philosopher and scholar of Kant who traced the relationship between philosophy and art throughout Chinese history, Chandler applies Li's theoretical structure to specific traditions in Chinese art. Throughout the book she considers the relationship of aesthetics and religion in the Chinese adoption of Buddhism, the aesthetics of horse painting, and the personal and political in philosophy in the work of Su Dongpo. By examining particular works of art, Expressing the Heart's Intent argues that if philosophy ignores the arts, it is immeasurably impoverished.
SUNY Press has just published Constance Cook & Xinhui Luo's Birth in Ancient China: A Study of Metaphor and Cultural Identity in Pre-Imperial China.
Reveals cultural paradigms and historical prejudices regarding the role of birthing and women in the reproduction of society.
Using newly discovered and excavated texts, Constance A. Cook and Xinhui Luo systematically explore material culture, inscriptions, transmitted texts, and genealogies from BCE China to reconstruct the role of women in social reproduction in the ancient Chinese world. Applying paleographical, linguistic, and historical analyses, Cook and Luo discuss fertility rituals, birthing experiences, divine conceptions, divine births, and the overall influence of gendered supernatural agencies on the experience and outcome of birth. They unpack a cultural paradigm in which birth is not only a philosophical symbol of eternal return and renewal but also an abiding religious and social focus for lineage continuity. They also suggest that some of the mythical founder heroes traditionally assumed to be male may in fact have had female identities. Students of ancient history, particularly Chinese history, will find this book an essential complement to traditional historical narratives, while the exploration of ancient religious texts, many unknown in the West, provides a unique perspective into the study of the formation of mythology and the role of birthing in early religion.
Constance A. Cook is Professor of Chinese at Lehigh University and the author of Death in Ancient China: The Tale of One Man's Journey. Xinhui Luo is Professor of Chinese Ancient History at Beijing Normal University, China.
