High Court Hears Case on Concealed Weapons
5:25pm Tuesday, April 15, 2003
Members and leadership representing Ohioans For Concealed Carry were in attendance at the Ohio Supreme Court on Tuesday, April 15th, to attend oral arguments in the more than two-year-old "Hamilton County Concealed Carry" lawsuits.
Canton Repository - the Repository offers on of the best objective summaries of the testimony offered at the hearing by both sides, and the key issues about which the Justices had questions.
Dayton Daily News - the Daily News offers a surprisingly objective summary. We note with interest that while neither the State Solicitor who argued the state's case, nor OFCC President Jeff Garvas, were willing to "read the tea leaves" in an attempt to predict something from oral questioning. Toby Hoover of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, however, is not wise in witholding comment.
Columbus Dispatch (subscription site - paid access only) - the Dispatch, like the Daily News, offers a surprisingly objective summary. This article does perhaps the best job of all in viewing this issue from a multitude of angles, legislative, legal, and political. Once again, Toby Hoover of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence seems unaware that sometimes, silence is golden.
Ohio News Network - ONN has been good to widen the discussion of this case to include the legislative efforts currently under way, and points out OFCC's main Constitutional concerns, which have yet to be addressed in HB12. They are also offering an online poll on this issue.
Cincinnati Enquirer - despite characterizing Justice's questioning as "attacks", this article contains two of the better quotes from Attorney William Gustavson, as well as still more quotes from the Justices.
Cleveland Plain Dealer - despite a one-sided headline, the Plain Dealer article does a good job of representing both sides, and captures a few of the lighter moments not discussed elsewhere, noting that the Justices appeared to enjoy sparring with Gustavson.
WTOL Channel 11 (Toledo) - this CBS affiliate manages only one brief sentence explaining the defense's point of view, and presents every bit of gloom and doom about HB12 that they can muster.
Toledo Blade - the Blade writes almost as if the ruling was already handed down, only offering quotes from Justices which sound ominous or threatening to the constitutionality question.
Lancaster Eagle-Gazette - many central Ohio Gannett-owned newspapers will be printing this article, which might as well declare defeat for the four Cincinnati-area gun owners who brought the lawsuit.

OFCC PAC Commentary
Rather than detailing again the points the news articles highlighted, we'd like to share some of the observations the media did not make:
1) State Solicitor Douglas Cole and Attorney Richard Ganulin, representing the city of Cincinnati, revealed a fundamental disagreement on the right to bear arms. Cole opened his case by stating that the state concurs with the Ohio Constitution - persons have the right to bear arms for their defense and security (his arguments on how he believes the state can limit that right are detailed in the various news articles linked to above). But Ganulin argued that there is no individual right to bear arms provided by the Constitution, and that it is merely a collective right. We found it extraordinary that the plaintiffs in this appeal do not even agree on such a fundamental issue.
2) Perhaps the most striking moment of the hearing, and coming very near to the end of oral arguments. Justice Paul Pfeifer was able to get the State Solicitor to admit under questioning that, regardless of the debate about whether the current law truly creates a defacto ban on carrying firearms for self-defense, this much is clear: there most certainly is a ban on carrying a firearm for self-defense in a motor vehicle. After the State Solicitor repeatedly stated in his closing comments that the Constitutional right to self-defense is being observed via Ohio's "open carry" law, Justice Pfeifer asked how one can carry openly in a car. Cole's response: "You can't."
3) Justices allowed William Gustavson, the attorney arguing the law is unconstitutional, nearly three times the time to make his arguments, and the majority of their questions were posed to him. In post-hearing comments, State Solicitor David Cole warned against engaging in "too much reading of the tea leaves based on oral arguments", and OFCC President Jeff Garvas pointed out that this questioning simply indicates the Justices are keeping an open mind.
4) State Solicitor David Cole's main argument was that the Ohio Constitution is not being violated, because every Ohioan has the choice to carry a firearm in the open. But tell that to the 300,000+ residents of Toledo. Or the 200,000+ Akron residents. Their right to open carry has been banned by those municipalities.

The CFO'S Perspective
by Charlotte Morin, on Sep 24, 2019 9:24:00 AM
Most of my vacations are pretty typical – camp on the Sound, cruise to Alaska, plane trip to kid-friendly destination, road trip to friends.
... but not this year.
This year, I fulfilled a long-time dream and went to Africa. I did the multi-day safari, fed the giraffes at the Giraffe Center in Nairobi, and enjoyed local cuisine and cultures. But mostly… I did financial spreadsheets. And IT infrastructure planning. And computer teaching. In other words, pretty much the same things I do all the time, except in hotter weather.
I've been interested in contributing in a useful way to communities in the developing world for many years, but I couldn't really see how. After all, I've worked only in the for-profit sector. I'm not a doctor, or an urban planner, or a politician. Like many of us… I'm busy. I have family responsibilities, work responsibilities, friends, and a house that always seems to need something done to it.
In the Spring of 2018, I thought maybe I had found a great way to participate. Clean water is the foundation of all public health efforts, and when I heard about World Vision's ½ marathon fundraiser for well drilling in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, I decided to join in. It seemed perfect - I could help people and make my doctor happy at the same time! What could be better? Alas, my feet did not agree – I was able to raise some money thanks to generous donors, but clearly, walking or running long distances was not going to be a sustainable philanthropic strategy for me.
Meanwhile… nearly 25 years ago a young man in Kenya became friends with an American from Washington and eventually came to the US to school. He went back to Kenya, and with the financial backing of a church here, began a community development program in the area where he had grown up. Today he leads a group of Kenyans who run a clinic and school in his village. One day I heard, in passing, that the person who had been handling the US side of the student sponsorship program that supports the school was retiring, and I agreed to take that on as a volunteer for a few hours a month. That's how I ended up as part of a team in Africa this July, doing the things I can do – instead of the things I can't.
I learned a lot this summer (including how to milk a cow, and that the items transportable on the back of a motorbike are, literally, unlimited).
Among the lessons –
Everyone's life has a different shape, but you can find some way to give back that fits. Rather than focusing on what you don't have or can't do, be creative about how you can use the time/money/skills you have available.
Decide what you're passionate about and put yourself in places (either physical or virtual) where you might hear about ways you can help.
It's OK to try different ways to contribute – even if they don't work out, you can always try again.
What Summer Vacation story would be complete without photos?
Figure 1: A "Welcome Song" for our team from some of the learners, in the school courtyard.
Figure 2: A Group of Learners. The kids are serious about their education, staying at school long hours and studying hard for the all-important eighth-grade exam.
Figure 3: Build-Your-Own Screen. We taught computer classes in this corrugated metal building. They are currently building a new brick computer lab which will have room for up to 26 students
Figure 4: Eighth graders in a computer class.
All of these kids knew what a computer was, but none had ever touched one before.
Figure 5: Sugarcane – just one of the many things you can transport on a motorbike. Other things include three kids (one behind the other) … four chickens (tie the feet together and lay them upside down on the sides) … or a sofa (balance it in the middle and tie it on with ropes.)
Figure 6: At typical town scene. Cell phone, electricity - and dirt roads. There are 49 million people in Kenya, and 43 million cell phones. (and 70,000 landlines, but who's counting?). Many roads are now being paved as China's Belt and Road Initiative improves infrastructure across Sub-Saharan Africa.
Figure 7: These guys were about 10 feet from our van. It was amazing to see hundreds or thousands of animals outside of a zoo and in their natural habitat – eating, sleeping, running, occasionally being eaten, but generally enjoying their regular daily routine on the savannah.
Figure 8: Cape Buffalo at Dusk in the Masai Mara Park. The savannah at dusk - an iconic African scene.

Buhari to INEC, police: Be firm, free, fair and let Nigerians elect whoever is their choice
President Muhammadu Buhari Tuesday urged officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Nigeria Police Force to be firm, free, fair and let Nigerians elect whoever is their choice.
The president said this at a meeting with the Chairman of INEC Professor Mahmood Yakubu, other top officials of the electoral body, and the Inspector General of Police Mr Mohammed Adamu in his office at the State House in Abuja.
INEC has 28 rerun and by-elections this January alone, and the president told the commission to ensure that the game was played by the rules, without fear or favour.
"Those that you declare as winners must be the candidates that the people have chosen. Democracy is about free will, and the will of the people must be allowed to prevail. Get your acts right, and leave no room for underhand tricks or manipulation," he said.
The president said he was determined to give Nigeria an electoral system that meets with best practices anywhere in the world, and charged the electoral umpire to stick to the rules of fair play and adherence to justice.
The president said he expects a scrupulous securing of the electoral process without bias or favouritism from the police.
"Our elections must be done in violence-free atmosphere. The process must be free, fair, decent, devoid of intimidation or malpractices. It is the duty of the police to accomplish that, and it is what I expect in the elections immediately ahead, and going forward," he said.
Both INEC and the police pledged a fidelity to the rules and regulations, stating that they know President Buhari as someone passionately committed to fair play.

Can you believe it's March? The longer days assure me that spring is indeed on the way. I'm looking forward to doing more and more exercise outside as the weather improves.
This week I'm sharing a fitness tool that I've enjoyed using for years, an ab wheel. An ab wheel is inexpensive and doesn't take up a lot of space. If you don't want to buy one, your gym probably has one that you could use there.
I thought I'd try something a bit different this week for demonstrating the exercise, a video. Let me know if you like this format better or if you prefer step-by-step pictures.
Is this something you will try or is it already a part of your routine?
Hi Paula! Just stopping by after being out of touch for several months. Hope that all is well with you.
ok ok maybe i'll try again! Happy friday Paula!
Our gym has one of those, but I've never used it. It looks even harder than the plank. Yikes! Okay, I'll try it. My abs need some serious help. Especially since I am still thinking about your eclair recipe. I cleaned out my pantry and all my graham crackers are gone. Gotta buy some more, and then I'll really need to do this.
That looks totally hard – I've seen them but never tried it. It does look a little more exciting than just doing crunches, and it probably works more of your abs too! You rock Paula!
Your post reminds me of the Abs roller from the 90's, do you remember that?? Such a great post, you make it look so easy!

An Exercise Equipment Conspiracy So Vast
I see that Power Line's John Hinderaker doesn't believe that the injuries Harry Reid sustained back in January could possibly have resulted from exercise equipment.
By Steve M.
Via Zandar, I see that Power Line's John Hinderaker doesn't believe that the injuries Harry Reid sustained back in January could possibly have resulted from exercise equipment:
In January, I wrote OK, So What Really Happened to Harry Reid? I noted the injuries that Reid suffered on New Year's Day, in Las Vegas: multiple broken bones around his right eye, damage to the right eye, severe facial bruising, broken ribs, and a concussion. Was all of this really the result of losing his balance because an elastic exercise band broke? That seems unlikely, to say the least.
Would it be irresponsible of Hindrocket to speculate? Apparently it would be irresponsible not to:
When a guy shows up at a Las Vegas emergency room on New Year's Day with severe facial injuries and broken ribs, and gives as an explanation the functional equivalent of "I walked into a doorknob," it isn't hard to guess that he ran afoul of mobsters.
Oh, but this isn't idle speculation -- Hindrocket has unimpeachable sources!
A friend of mine was in Las Vegas a week or two ago. He talked to a number of people there about Reid's accident, and didn't find anyone who believed the elastic exercise band story. The common assumption was that the incident resulted, in some fashion, from Reid's relationship with organized crime. The principal rumor my friend heard was that Reid had promised to obtain some benefit for a group of mobsters. He met with them on New Year's Day, and broke the bad news that he hadn't been able to deliver what he promised. When the mobsters complained, Reid (according to the rumor) made a comment that they considered disrespectful, and one of them beat him up.
Well, that settles it then! Case closed!
No, wait -- Mr. H doesn't want to leap to conclusions:
Is that what really happened? I have no idea, but it is a more likely story than the elastic exercise band yarn.
To be sure, it was a Rube Goldberg-y sort of accident, if it happened the way Reid's spokesman said it did:
The accident occurred when an elastic exercise band broke, striking Reid in the face and causing him to fall, said spokesman Adam Jentleson. Reid struck part of the equipment as he fell, breaking multiple bones near his right eye.
As he hit the floor, he broke several ribs.
Can anything like this even happen? How many people have ever suffered serious injuries from these things?
Well, a lot, actually.
Go here if you want to read a brief article from Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine about a man who suffered a detached retina after his eye was hit by an elasticized exercise band. Go here if you want to read about a woman who's suing a Manhattan fitness club for $1 million because, she claims, "she suffered severe injuries, including a loss of vision in one eye, when an exercise resistance band snapped from her foot and hit her in the face."
Here's an account of a pretty terrible accident:
While attempting to measure how much force a heavy elastic exercise band produced when used for biceps curls, the band slipped loose and struck me in the right eye. The immediate pain was excruciating and lasted several minutes. After that a severe burning/itching sensation remained for hours. Vision through the eye was extremely blurred with a dark donut-shaped zone blocking one third of it.
I immediately went to my eye doctor, who sent me to a surgeon specializing in eye injuries. Upon inspection he determined that the cornea had been collapsed and the iris damaged to the point where it was bleeding into the space between the cornea and the lens....
What followed was a week of sitting upright in a chair virtually all the time in an attempt to hold the eye as still as possible. Once torn, the very delicate iris is prone to rebleeding after the initial bleeding stops. I even had to sleep sitting up. Three rebleeds occurred in spite of this and it was three weeks before the iris has healed. During this period there were days where the pain in the eye was so all-consuming that psychologically I ceased to exist other than as a vessel of the pain. Even high doses of vicodin had no effect on it.
... muscles in the upper left quarter of the iris were permanently torn. The iris can no longer contract, is frozen at 8 millimeters in diameter and off center toward the 10 o'clock quadrant. This wide open iris causes considerable glare during the day and when watching television. I have been told there is nothing that can be done to correct this condition.
You want more? There's this from a newspaper in Washington State:
One of those horror stories belongs to a Puyallup man who shared his story with me on the condition I don't use his name. He's hired an attorney in an effort to recoup medical expenses.
He was in a boot camp class with a bright red band fully extended with both hands over his head. When one of the handles broke, the band snapped around and hit him in the face. He broke his nose, and his eye filled with blood. A friend rushed him to the emergency room, where he underwent a barrage of expensive tests and needed stitches.
He couldn't see with his damaged eye for several days, and his face was bruised for a month. He had to sleep sitting in a chair so the blood would drain from his eye.
And then there's this, from the Consumer Product Safety Commission's SaferProducts.gov site:
I was injured by the Target Embark resistance band while exercising to a dvd. During a pull up sitting on the floor, the door opened and the ball catapulted and hit me square in the right eye. I didn't even know it happened right away - it took me a minute to register something had even occurred. It caused a broken lower eye socket, a traumatic cataract, traumatic glaucoma, corneal damage and mydriasis. I have undergone 2 surgeries, one an implant to correct the fracture, and one cataract removal and pupil cerclage. I most likely will need to have glaucoma surgery and a corneal transplant. I am functioning well and can see decent since the surgery, but my eye is plagued by constant inflammation and general achiness.... I consider myself lucky to have vision in my eye still, but I definitely won't ever be the same.
This report was accompanied by a rather unpleasant photo:
That particular exercise band was recalled. It's one of several such recalls, as you can see if you go to the site of this Dallas law firm, which actively solicits clients for resistance band injury lawsuits, as does this California law firm.
So, yeah, these things can hurt you. I'll leave you with this, which I guess could have been a lot worse:

• Mattflaschen-WMF renamed this task from Fix new topic notification on wikis with job queue to Fix new topic notification on MediaWiki.org.
If that is the cause, then it is not jobqueue-specific but rather due to https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/operations%2Fmediawiki-config/20e51990e4775c1fffa0380aab5b94b2ba1c109e/wmf-config%2FInitialiseSettings.php#L14509 .

However, that was solved more than 1 hour ago and should not affect following jobs.
I got one apparent success 8 hours ago, but I'm still testing.
I got the two tests I did then (as a bundled, since they were to the same page).
And there's nothing in the current exception.log. Going ahead and moving this to QA.
Posting more new topics on the same page - email notification is sent with 4-5-hour delay. All new topics(except the first one) are bundled together, e.g.

"ET1 created a new topic with the title "Aug26-01" on Talk:ET4"
"3 new topics on Talk:ET4"
misleading info to a user in the second email(that bundles facts about topic creation): "3 new topics on Talk:ET4". A user already received a new topic notification about the first one of those three new topics.
Sadly, this is expected behavior. I was hoping to do more work on notifications, watchlists and emails, but it looks like we're not going to have time for it right now.

American Evangelicalism
E. J. Carnell and the Mad Race for Relevance
June 15, 2022 June 16, 2022 / Emily Banas / Leave a comment
Because Wheaton College is frequently associated with C.S. Lewis, whose papers are archived on campus at the Marion E. Wade Center, the popular English author is often humorously invoked as its patron saint. But the appellation could just as aptly fit Dr. Edward John Carnell, whose academic objectives, directly or indirectly, color the mission statements of nearly all accredited American evangelical liberal arts institutions. As theologian, philosopher and professor, Carnell played a crucial role in the development of contemporary evangelicalism, believing that conservative Christians too often failed to intellectually engage with the challenges posed by modernism. Widely networked among prominent American evangelicals of the mid-twentieth century, the movements of his extraordinary career can be seen in the various collections, books and files maintained by Buswell Library Archives & Special Collections.
Jazz Age Evangelism: Paul Rader and the Chicago Gospel Tabernacle

Advertisement announcing the Steel Tent, which became the Chicago Gospel Tabernacle,1922. (CN 38, Folder 1-52)
Buswell Library Archives & Special Collections holds the stories of many an unsung figure in the history of evangelism, people who made an impact in their own time but are little remembered today. Such a one is Daniel Paul Rader, more widely known by his middle name Paul. The Chicago Gospel Tabernacle he started in the 1920s was a center of innovation and excitement, launching the ministries of several significant evangelical Christian figures of the next generation.
Rader was the son and grandson of ministers and was one himself for a few years, before a loss of faith led him to resign his pastorate. After leaving the ministry, Rader worked as a boxing promoter and then as an oil company representative. Around 1912 Rader experienced a renewal of his Christian faith. He became active in the Christian and Missionary Alliance, eventually serving as an assistant to C&MA founder A. B. Simpson on Simpson's evangelistic tours. The next year Rader became an evangelist himself and preached around the United States. In 1915, he accepted the pulpit of Moody Church in Chicago and in 1919, upon the death of Simpson, Rader became the second president of C&MA.

Buswell Library Archives and Special Collections holds the records of many national evangelical organizations – From Youth for Christ (CN 48) and Christianity Today (CN 08) to Christians for Social Action (CN 37) and Prison Fellowship Ministries (CN 274). These collections provide valuable and fascinating insights into the history of evangelical Christianity in the United States. But few offer as broad a view of American evangelicalism in the last half of the 20th century as the National Association of Evangelicals (SC 113), which celebrates the 80th anniversary of its founding conference this month.
Meeting on April 7th 1942, the group of 147 evangelical pastors, leaders, and educators gathered together in St. Louis to answer: Who could speak for evangelical Protestantism in America?

This December, the Wheaton College Billy Graham Center Archives highlights the ninth triennial InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) Student Missionary Convention held 50 years ago this month. The traditional climax of IVCF's ministry year, the five-day conference exists to mobilize college students for Christian evangelism, on university campuses across the globe. Since its first iteration in 1946, dubbed the "International Student Convention for Missionary Advance" held in Toronto, Canada, thousands of students from North America and around the world have dedicated themselves to the work of Christian evangelism and discipleship after hearing the likes of Billy Graham, John Stott, Stacey Woods, David Howard, Samuel Escobar, Elisabeth Elliot, and Francis Schaeffer describe the challenge and call of world evangelization. Today, significant numbers of men and women in full-time Christian service can trace their vocational inspiration back to an "Urbana" convention.
"To Show Kindness to Israel": William Blackstone's Memorial
July 1, 2020 April 13, 2021 / kjgraber / 2 Comments
This July, the Wheaton College Billy Graham Archives highlights the evangelistic ministry of Eugene Blackstone (1841-1935), a self-educated American businessman, evangelist, and author, perhaps best known as the creator of the Blackstone Memorial, a petition calling for the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
A fervent dispensationalist, Blackstone's belief in the imminent return of Jesus Christ spurred his interest in Jewish evangelism and commitment to Christian Zionism. Blackstone played a prominent role in founding the Chicago Hebrew Mission (later American Messianic Fellowship) and became its first superintendent in 1889. He also served as the sole trustee of the Milton Stewart Evangelistic Fund, which financially supported Jewish evangelism efforts in far-flung corners of the globe. Recipients of the Milton Fund include Bible colleges, seminaries, and parachurch organizations, stretching from Poland to Palestine and New York City to Korea. Blackstone's correspondents included professors, evangelists, missionaries, and administrators serving with the likes of the American Bible Society; All Russian Union of Evangelical Christians; Barbican Mission to the Jews; China Inland Mission (Blackstone's parents were missionaries to China); Mount Carmel Bible School, Haifa; New York Gospel Mission to the Jews; and Women's Bible Institute, Korea, among many others. In addition to his evangelistic efforts, Blackstone also authored multiple works, including Satan: His Kingdom and its Overthrow, The Millennium, and the the best-selling Jesus is Coming, which was translated into multiple languages.
Blackstone's personal papers are described in Collection 540: Papers of William Eugene Blackstone. and include a variety of materials, including correspondence, sermons, manuscripts, reports, and periodicals.
The photograph montage above of the founders of the Chicago Hebrew Mission (1887) illustrates Blackstone's central place in the organization. He is in the center right oval, wearing spectacles. The image is found in "Twenty-Five Years of Blessing," a commemorative pamphlet published in 1913. From Collection 540, Box 1, Folder 1.
Evangelical Protestantism as a Global Tradition in the 20th Century: The J. Edwin Orr Papers
June 1, 2020 April 28, 2022 / kjgraber / Leave a comment
In 1931, a bakery clerk began to hold evangelistic meetings in the streets of his home town of Belfast, Ireland. The next year he set off on a lifelong journey that would take him around the world to stadiums and tiny churches and academic lecture halls. It was a ministry and vocation which included rigorous historical scholarship into deep spiritual mysteries and enthusiastic preaching to crowds of seekers.

Collection 355: Papers of J. Edwin Orr, not only tell Orr's life story, but also documents Protestant evangelicalism around the world in every continent except Antarctica. This June, the Wheaton College Billy Graham Center Archives is pleased to announce that this greatly expanded collection can now be used by Christian workers, scholars, and the general public.
Getting Lost in the Archives: A Conversation with Dr. Amber Thomas Reynolds

This September, we sat down with Dr. Amber Thomas Reynolds—Wheaton College Grad School alumna and archives enthusiast—and plied her with questions about the challenges, joys, and adventures of archival research. A longtime patron of the Billy Graham Center Archives, Dr. Reynolds relied heavily on our resources for both her MA thesis at Wheaton College and PhD dissertation at the University of Edinburgh. Currently serving as a guest assistant professor at Wheaton College, Dr. Reynolds can be found in the history department, where she is teaching World History Since 1500 and US Pop Culture Since 1900 this semester.

According to first reports, gunmen hiding behind the saluting stand shot up an Iranian military parade on Saturday in the southern city of Ahvaz. Several people were killed and injured. The parade marked the anniversary of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war. In Tehran, President Hassan Rouhani said in a televised speech: "President Donald Trump will fail in his confrontation with Iran, just like Iraq's Saddam Hussein." DEBKAfile: Ahvaz is largely populated by Sunni Muslim Arabs, who are the main workforce of Iran's southern oilfields. Tehran often accuses Saudi Arabia and the UAE of stirring up anti-regime unrest in Ahvaz. The attack on the military parade is a serious assault on the Shiite regime and will further notch up friction with Riyadh and Abu Dhabi.

Acclaimed Drummer Martin Atkins to Release New Book, "Memories – My Five Years In and Out of Public Image Ltd. (1979-1985)"
"For a large chunk of my time with PiL, we were the most dangerous band on the planet – no one knew what we were going to do next – (least of all us) – it was special and crazy and awesome as fuck," begins acclaimed drummer Martin Atkins in his PledgeMusic campaign for his upcoming book, Memories – My Five Years In and Out of Public Image Ltd. (1979-1985). Atkins made his major debut in the late 1970's as the on-again-off-again drummer for John Lydon's (more commonly known by his stage name Johnny Rotten) post-Sex Pistols' experimental project, Public Image Ltd., and he has tales to tell.
As of now Martin Atkins has made his PledgeMusic campaign the sole way of pre-ordering the book. In conjunction with the pre-order, many special items are available via PledgeMusic, including a rare 1979 cardboard lyric print that can be autographed by request, a signed drumhead, signed drumsticks, a live drum session, and more.
Martin Atkins is the definition of entrepreneurial activity in cultural arts endeavors. His 35+ years in the music business spans across genres and borders and industries. He was a member of Public Image Ltd. and Killing Joke. He founded industrial supergroup Pigface, The Damage Manual, and Murder Inc., and has contributed to Nine Inch Nails (for which he has a Grammy) and Ministry. He is the owner of Invisible Records and Mattress Factory Recording Studios (est. 1988). He is the author of Tour:Smart, Welcome To The Music Business….You're F*cked!" Band:Smart, the new Music Industries Coordinator at Millikin University in Decatur Illinois. Martin is a producer, drummer, documentary filmmaker, DJ, and father of four. Whatever the future of entrepreneurial music business education is, you can pretty much bet that he'll be in the middle of it.
The PledgeMusic site also includes a personal video filmed by Martin Atkins discussing the book. There are only 40 days left to take part in the campaign, so act fast! See here for all contribution items and the video: https://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/martin-atkins-memories
"If there is one thing that has changed over that time it has been my understanding that different people really do see things differently – hence the title Memories. I do very much care about the sum of the parts and the parts that make up the sum," says Martin Atkins. "This isn't my book in the same way that PiL back then wasn't just John's. It was all of ours. And as much as I might prefer to not be called a twat by Keith Levene – his – or anyone else's exclusion from this book seems incorrect. There is more to be learned from seeing other people's points of view than by slamming the door. So, I've been careful to talk to a lot of people that were around us. You might call this the companion book to the first part of The Public Image Is Rotten documentary. My memories are intense and when that fails, I have my diaries!
This is a journey for me too – I've already experienced a few things that have surprised me, stretched myself in ways that I am proud of and I'm excited to continue this journey of discovery and documentation with you."
To pre-order your copy of Memories – My Five Years In and Out of Public Image Ltd. (1979-1985) and for more information, visit the PledgeMusic campaign page.

Comics: G.I.Joe #36 (Devil's Due run)
Cobra Commander pissed at series finale
The promo tagline for the final issue of this incarnation of the G.I. Joe core book from Devil's Due reads as such:
"This is it! It's all been leading to this issue! The war finally brings the G.I. Joe team and Cobra face-to-face! Every feud, every drop of bad blood, all the history between these two groups finally meet on the battlefield for THE knock-down, drag-out fight of G. I. Joe comics! Twenty-five years of payoff happens here!"
This has to be one of the biggest disappointments of a series finale I have ever read. Period. Maybe not as bad on how Marvel once wrapped up Doom 2099 by letting the artwork go to hell as if to say to the reader "We gave up on this series, so enjoy the contractually obligated crap we have to churn out in the meantime". Well G.I. Joe, especially with the resurgence of many of the hot 80's properties and current film adaptation underway deserved a much better send off.
I was actually surprised when I learned issue 36 would be the last. It seems just a few years ago, the G.I. Joe universe was gaining momentum once again after that lackluster Image mini-series somewhat earlier. Granted it would never approach the Joe heyday's it had under Marvel with scribe Larry Hama, but it was exciting again. Devils Due scaled somewhat back on the character roster, I can't blame them…there were so many Joe's and Cobra's….it was impossible to keep track of who's who and where are they with only book.
I thought they were doing well when they announced a Storm Shadow ongoing series (though the artwork is a bit off for my tastes), a few various one-shots, and Special Missions and Declassified books kept me going.
It was great to see the gloves come off with Cobra, and I enjoyed the 'Coil' arc, the introduction of Wraith, the hunt for The Baroness all happening in the core title of 'America's Elite'. I was very excited to hear about the 12 issue arc World War III.
The first few issues seemed 'okay', as if were about to ramp up the excitement factor, but sadly it just never got there for me. It was only around issue 34 (part 10 of 12) did I learn that the series was coming to and end, and I had no explanation as to why it was ending. With two issues left, I really began to worry as it just seemed like the story was stalling, or at least the elements concerning Cobra Commander. By the end of issue 35 the Commander was headed to the Appalachian mountains were we were left to believe he was going to make his final, epic stand.
Issue 36 is a double sized issue. Double sized of rushed plotlines, forgotten characters, tangential flashbacks, and very little pay off. Of course the Joe's win the battle, but my word, it was the cheapest and simpleton way to wrap up the series and hardcore fans should be as upset as I am. Poor Larry Hama, I don't care what he has to say in public…putting on a good game face for scribe Mark Powers, but Mr. Powers was able to drain any sort of epic adventure and character excitement out of the series in the last few issues that Larry spent so many years crafting and enter twining over at Marvel and Joe continuity.
So Recondo and some ex-Cobra schlep named Rourke have more face time than Snake Eyes? Than the Baroness? Destro goes to jail in one panel? Alexander is shot and killed in two panels?
The biggest travesty in my opinion was the treatment, or lack of treatment of Cobra Commander. The whole reason G.I. Joe was brought back into existence was the result of the formation of Cobra and its mysterious leader Cobra Commander. After what seemed to be a promise at the end of issue 35, we barely see the Commander at all in the finale. And to be taken out by a tackle by a crippled Joe wearing a jetpack at the end was horrific to the fans.
No last show down? Not a tense stand-off? No last defiant speech or last ditch action on the Commanders behalf? No face reveal after all these years? WHAT THE F____?? I cannot and refuse to believe that Cobra Commander was simply tackled, knocked out, and hauled away.
The last two pages shows an unmasked Commander (we don't see his face however) in an orange prison jumpsuit sitting in a chair making some last declaration that Cobra will survive…and it's revealed that this isolation room is at the bottom of the ocean. Oh, fuck me. This is so bad.
I can only hope…and pray…that Devil's Due had to give up on the comic license with the film be launched next year…and maybe will be re-launched again at that time with a new number one that gives the fans some sort of payoff. Maybe it will go back to Marvel? I don't know….but to tell me that 25 years…YEARS..of G.I. Joe and Cobra comic adventures is reduced to Cobra Commander sitting in an underwater prison because he was simply tackled and all the world is all apple pie after this is complete bullshit.

CREATIVITY AT WORK: HE BRINGS LANGUAGE TO LIFE
By Cindy Davis/Special to the Daily Press
Some days, he's a peanut. Other times, he might pop up as a sunflower. Or Mig the Pig.
Newport News teacher Chuck Walsh might look different every day, but his goal never wavers. Walsh employs creative costumes and memorable visuals to make lessons come alive for Sedgefield Elementary School students, many of whom are part of the school district's English for Speakers of Other Languages, or ESOL, program.
Two years ago, Sedgefield became the elementary center for ESOL. Previously, international students were dispersed throughout the school system. The decision to move them all to one building consolidated the program and created an opportunity for Walsh.
Walsh taught German full time at Denbigh High School for 32 years, then reduced his schedule to part time four years ago. During the summer before the ESOL move, Walsh received a call from ESOL supervisor Allison Foster, who told him that she had a job offer he couldn't refuse.
Foster told Walsh that ESOL students would make up to one-third of each class. Each class would be assigned an ESOL teacher to pull students out of class for short sessions of intensive instruction. But classroom teachers were going to need help teaching their curriculum to students with varying levels of English ability.
As a language teacher, Walsh has a storehouse of ideas that go beyond verbal techniques for teaching a language to people who don't speak it.
"When I'm teaching German, these kids don't know any German, so I always have to use other things," he said.
At first, Walsh was apprehensive about the new position. "My job was to help the teachers with strategies for their lesson planning that would address these kids who don't understand English," he said. Sitting with teachers as they developed lesson plans didn't sound very exciting to Walsh.
However, the transformation of Sedgefield into an elementary international school was a new venture for all involved, and Walsh saw an open door to make the position what he wanted it to be.
At first, teachers didn't know how to use him, and Walsh himself was often unsure of what to do. So he just kept looking around and asking himself, "What do these teachers need?" Walsh made picture dictionary pages to correspond with the state Standards of Learning vocabulary at different grade. He also created visuals such as flash cards featuring common classroom words while he waited for teachers to give him something specific to do.
Things fell into place when a first-grade teacher asked him to teach a lesson on the week's reading words -- all containing the "short i" sound. Walsh went to work, and Mig the Pig was born. Mig sports a colorful wig -- one of the vocabulary words -- and a handmade mask. He also happens to have a fin pierced with a pin -- memorable features that serve to jog memories, come test time.
Over time, other teachers began to ask Walsh for lessons, and a character -- supplemented by flash cards and visuals -- emerged with each one.
Now, if one teacher asks for a lesson, Walsh teaches the same material for each class in the grade level. In first grade, that equates to a half-hour lesson taught five times.
Walsh doesn't reuse his characters as much as he expected he would.
"That's OK because other people are asking me to do other things," he said.
"That's what I was supposed to do -- teach the teachers strategies to use -- so they shouldn't need to have me come in to do the same lesson every year."
Assignments are typically short-notice, and Walsh often finds himself rallying his resources -- accessory items from his wife's closet or a borrowed hat from a neighbor.
Teachers typically ask him for a lesson a day or two ahead of time, which makes scheduling tight for Walsh, who still works every other day at Denbigh High.
But he doesn't mind the tight deadlines. "Teachers don't have the time to pour that kind of effort into one half-hour lesson," he said.
Focusing on one topic each day allows Walsh to devote a level of creativity and depth into the material that a regular teacher's schedule won't allow.
"I'm amazed at how much these elementary teachers already do," Walsh said.
With no previous elementary teaching experience, Walsh surprises himself, as well.
His lessons feature poems, rap songs, Power Point presentations and video clips, as well as the handmade visuals and costumes that he devises.
"I'm amazed myself at some of the things I've come up with," he said. "Every day is exciting."
Officially, Walsh is known as the language acquisitions specialist at Sedgefield.
However, he finds it more rewarding when a student calls out, "It's Mr. Numbers!" -- and rushes to give him a hug. *

Nationwide, child pornography cases increased 330 percent from 1999 to 2009, according to a recent article in the Washington Examiner. "Before the Internet, child pornography had almost been eradicated," U.S. Attorney Neil MacBride told a reporter for the paper. More than nine million U.S. computers were identified as having shared child pornography between October 2008 and October 2009, an August report by the Justice Department says. Now, the FBI handles more than 2,500 new child pornography cases a year. "A lot of people never would have gone into an erotic video or magazine shop and asked to see child pornography," criminal defense lawyer Mike Sprano said.

Severe Tropical Cyclone Osea was the second of seven cyclones to affect French Polynesia during the 1997–98 South Pacific cyclone season. The fourth tropical cyclone and second severe tropical cyclone of the very active season, Osea began as a low that formed on November 22, and the storm initially remained weak. Moving south and later east, it was named Osea on November 24 after achieving windspeeds equal to a Category 1 cyclone on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale. Continuing to intensify, Osea soon reached its peak intensity of . Afterwards, Osea began to weaken because of increased wind shear, and the cyclone started moving southeast. By November 28, Osea was no longer a tropical cyclone.

The cyclone brought major damage to some islands in French Polynesia. Around 95% of the infrastructure in Maupiti was destroyed, including 77 homes, an airport, and a town hall. About 30% of the infrastructure in Bora-Bora was destroyed, as well as 309 homes and many yachts. Many roads were also damaged. Almost everything on the north side of the island was destroyed. However, no deaths were reported. The name Osea was retired after this usage of the name.

Meteorological history

On November 22, 1997, the Fiji Meteorological Service (FMS) and the Naval Pacific Meteorology and Oceanography Center (NPMOC) started to monitor a tropical depression that had developed about  to the northeast of the Northern Cook Island: Manihiki. Over the next two days the depression gradually developed further, as it slowly moved southwards towards a weakness in a subtropical ridge of high pressure. At 1200 UTC on November 23, the NPMOC reported that the depression had become equivalent to a tropical storm and assigned it the designation 06P. Twelve hours later the FMS named the system Osea after it had developed into a Category 1 tropical cyclone on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale. Thereafter, Osea started moving towards the southeast, as an area of high pressure started to develop to the south of the system.

During November 25, the FMS estimated that Osea had become a Category 3 severe tropical cyclone, while the NPMOC announced that the system had become equivalent to a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale as it moved through French Polynesia. The next day both agency's reported that Severe Tropical Cyclone Osea had reached its peak intensity. The FMS reported 10-minute sustained winds of 150 km/h (90 mph); the NPMOC reported peak 1-minute sustained windspeeds of 165 km/h (105 mph) which made it equivalent to a Category 2 hurricane on the SSHS. After attaining peak intensity, Osea gradually weakened. By November 27, the NPMOC had issued their final warning on the system because the convection had become dislocated over  from the low level circulation center due to increased wind shear. The FMS subsequently monitored Osea for another 24 hours, before it was last noted by the agency on November 28, around the time it degenerated into a tropical depression.

Preparations, impact, and aftermath
Prior the arrival of Cyclone Osea on November 24, various cyclone alerts and warnings were issued for the whole of French Polynesia, while authorities strengthened security measures and advised people not to drive. Throughout the archipelago schools were closed. Furthermore, people on the atoll of Scilly were evacuated by helicopter to other islands.

Cyclone Osea was extremely destructive to some of the islands in French Polynesia. Over 700 homes were destroyed or severely damaged on Maupiti, Bora-Bora, and Raiatea. Several roofs were blown off of buildings across the archipelago. On Maupiti, an island with a population of 1,100, about 95% of the infrastructure was destroyed. The town hall, two schools, and an airfield were destroyed. The town hall was originally being used as an emergency shelter, but was later evacuated due to strong winds and was later destroyed. Furthermore, many roadways and highways were blocked due to flooding. In addition, 77 homes on the island were destroyed. All but three homes that belonged to Mormons on the island were destroyed.

On Bora-Bora, an island which had a population of 4,500 at the time, roughly 30% of the infrastructure was destroyed, including 309 houses. Hotels were also impacted during the storm. On the north side of Bora Bora, nearly everything was destroyed, including the village of Vaitape and a local yacht club. Across Vaitape, roads were blocked by fallen trees and telecommunication lines were severed due to high winds. Seven people on the island were reportedly slightly injured. In addition, the islands of Tahaa, Raiatea, and Moorea all sustained damage, though yachts in Raiatea managed to survive unscathed. In another archipelago, 700 homes and various public infrastructures were at least somewhat destroyed by Osea. In addition to the impact on infrastructure, banana trees were knocked down due to the winds, especially in mountain gardens. Throughout the impacted region, no deaths were reported.

Osea was the second tropical cyclone to impact French Polynesia during the season; Cyclone Martin had impacted the islands a few weeks earlier. In the aftermath of the storm, disaster aid was delivered to the victims of Osea. President Gaston Flosse, accompanied by technicians, arrived in Maupiti to help repair the island's electrical and hydraulic systems. A Latter-Day Saint meeting house was used as an emergency shelter, though the house itself sustained minor damage from the storm. The name Osea was later retired from the South Pacific list of tropical cyclone names.

Can Leering Cause a Hostile Work Environment?
By Ron Solow
Have you been subject to some pretty disgusting behavior by a co-worker in your workplace? If it is sexual in nature, and has created a hostile work environment, then you may have a case under Title VII. Or you may not, if the conduct is not sexual enough. Does leering qualify?
In Lewis v. City of Norwalk, a summary order decided on April 14, Oswald Lewis was the City of Norwalk's Director of Management and Budget. His openly gay supervisor, Hamilton, began making advances on him. The court summarized the facts as follows: "Lewis alleges that soon after he began working for the City, Hamilton, who is openly gay, began making sexual advances toward him. Specifically, Hamilton is alleged to have "leered" at Lewis, looking from his crotch to his head while smiling, and to have made gestures with his tongue, which Lewis found "irritating." Lewis claims that this conduct occurred a couple of times a week in the beginning but became more sporadic over time, occurring no more than a handful of times in 2008-09. Lewis's other allegations are that Hamilton complimented his taste in clothing; invited Lewis to join his gym so that they could work out together; invited Lewis out for drinks; and disclosed to Lewis that he was lonely in his current relationship, and asked for help dealing with his loneliness. Once, when Lewis was in his office, Hamilton banged on the door and, when Lewis told him not to come in because he was changing into his jogging clothes, Hamilton waited outside until Lewis came out and then spoke with him excitedly. Lewis asserts in his brief that Hamilton's conduct negatively affected his work performance."
The court threw out the case. Why? The conduct was not sexual enough. According to the court "The only arguably overt sexual conduct was Hamilton's alleged licking of his lips and so-called "leering," which, by Lewis's own admission occurred only sporadically over time, and no more than a few times a year by mid-2009. Even assuming the conduct occurring prior to July 2009 is not time barred, which it may be under Title VII, the alleged "leering" is insufficiently severe or pervasive to qualify as having created a hostile work environment. The other "facially sex-neutral incidents"— invitations to join Hamilton's gym, invitations to have drinks with other co-workers, and discussions about Hamilton's personal life—even if they made Lewis subjectively uncomfortable, do not, under a 'totality of the circumstances' inquiry, 'create . . . an environment that a reasonable person would find hostile or abusive . . . .'
The takeaway? If you think you are in a hostile work environment because of some questionable behavior on the part of your co-workers or supervisor, keep track of the incidents as they occur. They will need to be severe, pervasive, and overtly sexual to create a successful claim under Title VII.

Flood Watch as Strong Pacific Storm With Heavy Rain Expected New Year's Eve
Flooding on Mission Road in San Diego. Photo: OnSceneTV
A strong Pacific storm was predicted to ring in the New Year in San Diego County with strong winds and widespread rain Saturday evening, the National Weather Service said.
The rain was expected to be heavy at times and high snow levels could keep most accumulating snow above the mountain resorts, the NWS said. Areas of dense fog, heavy rain, strong winds and wet road surfaces were expected to make New Year's Eve travel hazardous at times.
A flood watch was in effect from 6 p.m. Saturday through late New Year's Eve for San Diego County coastal areas, mountains and valleys. A wind advisory was posted from 8 p.m. Saturday to 4 p.m. Sunday for coastal areas, deserts, mountains and valleys.
"The storm will move out as quickly as it moves in," the NWS said. "This should make for a quiet Monday with some sun, but continued cool weather."
Another major winter storm was expected to bring some rain and mountain snow by Thursday, forecasters said.
Most local temperatures Saturday were expected to be in the 60s, with overnight lows in the upper 40s and lower 50s. Highs in the mountains were expected to be in the 50s with lows of 33 to 41, and highs in the deserts were forecast to be in the lower 70s with lows of 46 to 56.
Small streams and normally dry creek beds were expected to start flowing with water. Some minor rises in the county's main rivers were likely as well. The rise in the San Diego River could be sufficient to overtop a few of the low-water crossings in Fashion Valley on Sunday.
Strong winds and hazardous seas were expected Saturday evening through Sunday evening. Northwest winds of 20 to 30 knots with gusts of 35 to 40 knots were expected over the coastal waters. A gale warning was posted for the outer and inner waters. Combined seas of 10 to 15 feet were likely Sunday, highest in the outer waters.
A west-northwest swell of 10 to 15 feet at 8 to 10 seconds could produce high surf at the beaches Sunday through Monday, with sets of 5 to 8 feet. Higher sets to 9 feet could occur in southern San Diego County.
A high surf advisory will be in effect Sunday through Monday. Surf will gradually diminish Monday, though more Pacific storms could bring elevated to high surf Wednesday through Saturday of next week.

Steve Wynn Denied Severance Following Sexual Misconduct Claims
Haley Hintze
February 23, 2018 December 11, 2018
Steve Wynn, former CEO of Wynn Resorts Ltd, will not receive severance pay after reaching an agreement to leave the company following claims of sexual misconduct.
However, the deal will allow the ex-casino mogul to retain his ownership stake in Wynn Resorts.
Mr Wynn resigned from his chairman role at Wynn Resorts on 6 February, following the publication of allegations by the Wall Street Journal and Las Vegas Sun regarding improper conduct toward many of his casino's female employees.
It has been reported that prior to the sexual-misconduct claims becoming public, Mr Wynn's "golden parachute" contract clauses were valued at approximately $330m.
While that number shrinks when compared with Mr Wynn's total net worth – estimated at $3.5bn – it is still a prime indicator as to the possible impact of the scandal on Wynn Resorts' corporate fortunes.
Mr Wynn, 76, will also be forced to move from his private residence at one of his company's Las Vegas casinos by 1 June.
Details about the official parting of ways between Mr Wynn and his company were announced in a corporate filing made with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, after attorneys for both Mr Wynn and Wynn Resorts reached an agreement one day prior.
Claims of 'decades' of misconduct
Mr Wynn's accusers said he used his power as their employer to induce them to engage or perform various sexual acts.
The Wall Street Journal's expose also included details regarding Mr Wynn's payment of $7.5m to a manicurist in one of his casino's spas, in addition obtaining evidence pointing to a corporate cover up of the employees' claims. That former Wynn employee is believed to be only one of dozens of Mr Wynn's sexual-misconduct victims.
Mr Wynn's forced departure from his private residence at Wynn Resorts is a blow to his prestige, if not so much his finances. Mr Wynn's residence at that luxury casino is comprised of two of the private villas generally reserved for the casino's highest rollers. Those two properties were redesigned into a single master residence, joined by a spiral staircase and overlooking the resort's championship golf course. Mr Wynn has been paying fair-market-value rent on that double-villa complex all along, though that relationship will now also end.
Mr Wynn also loses his executive-level administrative support of 31 May, though he will be allowed to retain his company-funded health insurance benefits through the end of 2018.
Wynn to retain corporate holdings
Under the terms of the separation agreement, Mr Wynn will be allowed to retain his ownership, which amounts to about 12% of the total outstanding shares of Wynn Resorts stock.
However, in order to prevent Mr Wynn from dumping stock and damaging the share price of Wynn Resorts Ltd stock, the two sides have reached a registration-rights agreement. That provision will prevent Mr Wynn from selling more than one-third of his shares, or about 4% of the company in total, during any given calendar quarter.
A couple of other business provisions help complete the picture of Steve Wynn's exodus.
The agreement with his former company includes a non-compete clause governing all of Wynn Resorts' interests, though the reality is that Mr Wynn's run as a casino mogul is permanently ended.
He will also be obligated to provide "cooperation and assistance" to Wynn Resorts' board of directors in connection with his time with the company.
It's eminently possible that several lawsuits alleging other sexual misconduct by Mr Wynn are in the process of being assembled, and this provision lays some of the expected groundwork in that area.

Q: HTTP status code handling in GraphQL APIs A lot of resources say, that GraphQL should always respond with a 200 status code, even when an error occurred:

*

*https://www.graph.cool/docs/faq/api-eep0ugh1wa/#how-does-error-handling-work-with-graphcool

*https://github.com/rmosolgo/graphql-ruby/issues/1130#issuecomment-347373937

*https://blog.hasura.io/handling-graphql-hasura-errors-with-react/
Because GraphQL can return multiple responses in one response, this makes sense. When a user requests two resources in one request, and only has access to the first resource, you can send back the first resource and return a forbidden error for the second resource.
However, this is just something I figured out along the way reading docs of multiple GraphQL libraries and blog posts. I didn't find anything about HTTP status codes in the offical specs, here https://spec.graphql.org/ or here https://graphql.org/
So I still have a few questions left:

*

*Is it ok to return a HTTP 500 status code if I have an unexpected server error?

*Is it ok to return a HTTP 401 status code, if credentials are wrong?

*Should I include the potential HTTP status code inside the errors key of the GraphQL response like this

{
  "errors" => [{
    "message" => "Graphql::Forbidden",
    "locations" => [],
    "extensions" => {
      "error_class" => "Graphql::Forbidden", "status" => 403
    }
  }]
}

*Should I match common errors like a wrong field name to the HTTP status code 400 Bad Request?

{
  "errors" => [{
    "message" => "Field 'foobar' doesn't exist on type 'UserConnection'",
    "locations" => [{
      "line" => 1,
      "column" => 11
    }],
    "path" => ["query", "users", "foobar"],
    "extensions" => {
      "status" => 400, "code" => "undefinedField", "typeName" => "UserConnection", "fieldName" => "foobar"
    }
  }]
}

I'd be great if you could share your experiences / resources / best practises when handling HTTP status codes in GraphQL.

A: GraphQL is transport-agnostic. While GraphQL services are commonly web services that accept requests over HTTP, they can and do accept requests over other transports as well. In fact, a GraphQL service can execute queries with no network requests at all -- all it needs is a query, and, optionally, a variables object and operation name.
Because of this, the GraphQL spec isn't concerned with methods, status codes or anything else specific to HTTP (it only mentions HTTP when discussing serialization). Any practices with regard to these things are at best conventions that have either evolved over time or are simply artifacts from some of the original libraries that were written for GraphQL. As such, any kind of answer to your question is going to be mostly based on opinion.
That said, because your GraphQL service shouldn't care about how its queries are received, arguably there should be a separation between its code and whatever code is handling receiving the requests and sending back the responses (like an Express app in Node.js). In other words, we could say it's never ok for your resolver code to mutate things like the response's status code. This is the current thinking in the community and most libraries only return one of two codes -- 400 if the request itself is somehow invalid and 200 otherwise.
If your entire GraphQL endpoint is guarded by some authentication logic (say your server checks for some header value), then a GraphQL request might come back with a 401 status. But this is something we handle at the web server level, not as part of your schema. It's no different if something went terribly wrong with your web server code and it had to return a 500 status, or the nginx server sitting in front of your returned a 494 (Request header too large), etc.
Traditionally, errors encountered during execution should be thrown and that's it. GraphQL extensions can be used to provide additional context when the errors are collected and serialized -- the name of the error, the stack trace, etc. However, it makes little sense to include HTTP status codes with these errors when, again, the errors have nothing to do with HTTP. Doing so unnecessarily mixes unrelated concepts -- if you want to identify the type of error, you're better off using descriptive codes like GENERIC_SERVER, INVALID_INPUT, etc.
However, conventions around error handling are also changing. Some services want to better distinguish client errors from other execution errors. It's becoming more common to see validation errors or other errors that would be shown to the end user to be returned as part of the data instead of being treated like an execution error.
type Mutation {
  login(username: String!, password: String!): LoginPayload!
}

type LoginPayload {
  user: User
  error: Error
}

You can see payload types like these in action with public APIs like Shopify's. A variant on this approach is to utilize unions to represent a number of possible responses.
type Mutation {
  login(username: String!, password: String!): LoginPayload!
}

union LoginPayload = User | InvalidCredentialsError | ExceededLoginAttemptsError

The end result is that the client errors are strongly typed and easily distinguishable from other errors that the end user doesn't care about. There's a lot of benefits to adopting these sort of conventions, but whether they are the right fit for your server is ultimately up to you.


Like I said, though, heady, heady vibes transpirin'. Black Unicorn is the solo venture of Curt Brown, who some call the Hans-Joachim Roedelius of Akron, Ohio. (I'd like to meet the people other than me who do that, actually.) He's also half of the heady, heady Cane Swords, who … hey! Cane Swords also have a new tape out too! That's pretty rad. It's called Temple Swords. Why not make it a two-fer? As in, buy both.
But it's Black Unicorn day today, so let's stay on track. I keep saying "heady," and there's a really good reason for that. Brown's synth excursions (and let's face it, you can't call them anything but excursions) are best experienced with high-tech noise-cancelling headphones, the bigger the better, so if you look like a 1980s helicopter pilot while listening, you've got the ideal situation going on. There's no better way to chill out than with the opening couplet of "Lowland Observatory" and "Cosmonoctambulant" (and no, I will not type that again), trippy interstellar passages that tie new age, ambient, and Kosmische together to rip open a new dimensional rift in the spacetime continuum. To paraphrase well-known galactic traveler/popular rift-ripper J. Spaceman, ladies and gentlemen, we truly are floating in space.
It's hard to dispute the immaculate Tangerine Dream-iness of "Temporal Immensities," a slightly more agitated take on what Brown's doing, but it's a nice bump in the road that shakes things up before the utter transcendent beauty of "Seafowl in Silhouette," the track's title perhaps the perfect visual for the slow crawl that ensues. "Seafowl" exists almost as a still musical painting, and likely would be if not for the fact that it lasts for five minutes and nine seconds. Time actually does pass, and when you've realized it has, it's hard accept that a moment like "Seafowl" could end.
The rest of the album oscillates between the utterly magnificent ambience of Brown's planetarium-gazing synth sculptures and more kinetic Tangerine Dream–inspired passages. It's pretty much what the 1970s German experimental musician in me needs on occasion – let's face it, a lot of occasions. Some artists in this genre suffer by disappearing up their own wormholes, creating cold, uninspired and same-y records with no intention of drawing in the listener. With Traced Landscapes, Brown as Black Unicorn has transcended the norm with a gorgeous, at times glorious, release. Hey Field Hymns, how about pressing another 75? They're bound to sell!
