In honor of National Coming Out Day, breakout U.K. artist, singer, and songwriter, Calum Scott premieres "A Coming Out Story" on Vevo. The poignant profile, is an incredibly personal look at how Calum found the courage to be honest about himself through music and discusses his emotional journey from childhood into adulthood to find his authentic self.
"I know that there are people young and old struggling with the same questions, and living with that relentless fear and heartbreak," says Calum. "I make the music I do because I want to inspire the right kind of conversations. If one less kid can grow up without hiding who they are along the way or having to believe that who they love is something that will make them lonely, then everything I went through will be worth it."
Calum showcases his soaring falsetto on his debut album Only Human out now on Capitol Records. Only Human hit #1 on iTunes in over 20 countries, sold over 1 million in adjusted album sales, and has amassed over 1 billion combined streams. Billboard said, "Scott's stunningly pure voice is affecting enough in itself, but his lyrics on every one of the (album's) tracks are vulnerable and raw." His hit single, You Are The Reason featuring three- time Grammy nominee and vocal powerhouse Leona Lewis, is already certified Gold and has over 750 million streams worldwide. Calum's new track, "What I Miss Most" out now, unfolds as a triumphant homage to his hometown of Kingston upon Hull, located in Northern England. He will release his new single, "No Matter What" on October 19th.
Calum was nominated for a Brit Award for Best Single, for his version of Robyn's Dancing On My Own, which became a global sensation with over 1 billion streams worldwide, and is now Platinum in five countries.

Gorgon City Deliver Video for Latest Single "Go Deep"
Duo To Perform at Chicago's Mamby On The Beach Festival On June 23
Gorgon City have unveiled the official video for their latest track, "Go Deep," a rich production which has already received the support of BBC Radio 1′s dance family, including Annie Mac, Pete Tong, and Danny Howard. View "Go Deep" here: Http://po.st/GoDeepV
Directed by London-based duo Melody Maker & Lauren Van Veen, "Go Deep" utilizes the popular filming technique known as "dry for wet" using smoke colored filters and lighting effects to simulate a character being underwater while filming on a dry stage. The technique, which appears in films such as Lord of the Rings, and Guillermo Del Toro's The Shape of Water, sees the duo 'go deep' to the bottom of the sea, where they perform a passionate choreography routine.
Teaming up with Ghosted and BRIT Award-winning singer/songwriter Kamille on the release, the track follows Gorgon City's recent sold out UK and Europe Kingdom tour and has already amassed over 3 million streams since release.
Having established themselves as one of the most in-demand acts around, Gorgon City have enjoyed stellar success over the past 5 years thanks to their unique blend of bass-driven house music and addictive vocals, launching their own club-focused REALM imprint, which housed recent EP Grooves On The Vinyl, "Motorola" and Radio 1 specialist anthem "Primal Call."
A unique and refreshing collaboration from UK's music's most talented and innovative acts, "Go Deep" is set to cause summer shockwaves, and follows on from Gorgon City's anthem of the 2017 Ibiza season, "Real Life" with Duke Dumont. "Go Deep" is out now HERE.

JAMES BAY × "SLIDE"
JAMES BAY RELEASES NEW TRACK & VIDEO FOR "SLIDE"
PERFORMING ON ELLEN MAY 16TH
OPENING UP FOR THE ROLLING STONES ON TOUR
NEW ALBUM ELECTRIC LIGHT OUT MAY 18
Check out "Slide" Here and Video Here!
"(Us) emotional, soul-tinged ballad" – Rolling Stone
"smooth lyrics and sultry notes" – Entertainment Weekly
"It's moving, raw and promises big things for Electric Light." – Idolator
Following its release on Monday, three-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated and BRIT Award-winning multiplatinum singer-songwriter James Bay shares the music video for his latest track "Slide." Check out the "Slide" here and the video here!
On "Slide" and its beautiful video Bay said: "Slide was the last song written for the new album and it felt like a natural closer. Although it's tone is sad and heavy, it's essentially about connection – a theme which, with hindsight, this album is really hinged on – and hope, despite the fact it doesn't always work out. I guess it goes back to the nature of why I love songwriting – because a song promises the possibility of connection with other people – so we chase those flashes of creativity even when they sometimes lead us astray."
The outro to the song and video feature a reading of one of Bay's favorite Allen Ginsberg's poems: "Song" which begins with "…the weight of the world is love" and is read by musician David Ryan Harris who Bay brought on tour this spring.
"Slide" was featured as a World Record by Apple Music/Beats1 with Zane Lowe and proceeds the arrival of his anxiously awaited second full-length, Electric Light [Republic Records]—finally available everywhere next Friday, May 18, 2018. Pre-order HERE to receive instant grat downloads of "Slide" and the previously released hits "Us," "Pink Lemonade," and "Wild Love."

Fans can submit their own artwork inspired by the new album and top submissions will be displayed at a private gallery in Los Angeles on May 11th, Meanwhile, one winning submission will be turned into a new merch item to be sold on his upcoming fall tour with proceeds benefiting the VH1 Save The Music Foundation.

"Hauntingly beautiful, her vocals glide over the synth backing, giving the 70s classic a captivating modern twist."
– Wonderland Magazine
Produced by Naughty Boy, Naughty Town is a one-of-a-kind project celebrating the music of Motown, featuring a host of star-studded vocalists that will bring the genre to a new generation of music fans. The first track to be released will be 'Dancing Machine,' featuring BRIT Award and Mercury Prize nominated artist Laura Mvula, on the 14th September.
'Dancing Machine' is an amazing re-arrangement of a Motown classic. Starting mellow with a simple synth line, the track gives space for an introduction to a captivating vocal performance by Laura Mvula. Naughty Boy's production provides a slightly melancholic edge while maintaining the energy level of the original track, instantly giving this 70s classic a catchy modern feel.
Of the project, Naughty Boy said: "Motown is so iconic, at first I didn't want to interfere in case I upset the millions of Motown fans. It took me a while to think I can do this, I can deliver. I realised it's the coming together of music lovers and great songs."
Speaking of the track, Laura Mvula said: " 'Dancing Machine' has always been one of my favourite Jackson 5 tracks so when Shah said he was doing an album of reworked Motown classics it was my first thought. I grew up listening to and emulating the Jackson 5 so to get a chance to re-interpret and pay respect to some of that genius was really special. Motown deserves endless credit so hopefully this will highlight the incredible catalogue.

Q: Regular expression not working correctly through input via getline() I need to validate a string that is at least 5 characters long, contains at least one upper-case letter, at least one lower-case letter, at least one digit and no other characters except the dash and the underscore. I've tested this in other languages and it apparently works:
^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])[0-9a-zA-Z_\-]{5,}$

However, in C++, this simple test program validates strings such as "AasdA" as correct input. I know I am missing something glaringly obvious, but after much research I cannot tell what is wrong. Maybe it's something to do with the way getline() stores strings. Here is my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <regex>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    string test;
    do {
        cout << "Test: ";
        getline(cin, test);

        if (regex_match(test, regex("^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])[0-9a-zA-Z_\-]{5,}$"))) {
            cout << "True." << endl;
        } else {
            cout << "False." << endl;
        }
    } while (test != "");
    return 0;
}

A: You need to double the backslashes in your string constant:
if (regex_match(test, regex("^(?=.*\\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])[0-9a-zA-Z_\\-]{5,}$"))) {

Q: Deleting a child node stops other siblings from being deleted? I'm trying to remove all the child nodes with class .FormErrorMessage from element #LoginFormErrorWrapper. These are XUL "description" elements if that makes a difference.
Using this code:
var Messages = document.getElementById('LoginFormErrorWrapper').getElementsByClassName("FormErrorMessage");
for (var i = 0; i < Messages.length; i++) {
   var node = Messages[i];
   document.getElementById('LoginFormErrorWrapper').removeChild(node);
}

Only the first element is deleted. Messages contains all of the elements, but once the first child gets deleted, the loop stops. If I comment out the removeChild line and alert the node, it alerts all of the nodes. Why does it stop looping after the first child is deleted? The parent still exists.

A: getElementsByClassName returns a live NodeList. So while you remove an element from the DOM it is also removed from the NodeList, causing various side effects.
You can avoid them by converting the NodeList to an Array
var Messages = [].slice.call(document.getElementById('LoginFormErrorWrapper').getElementsByClassName("FormErrorMessage"));

Obesity and overweight statistics are at an all-time high in the UK, with people of all ages putting their health at risk simply by being too heavy. So how can pharmacy help?
Obesity seems to be the health topic of the moment. From too much sugar in our diets to too little activity in our daily lives, we are bombarded with news stories highlighting the unhealthy habits of the nation and how they are putting stress on our bodies as well as the NHS.
Alarming statistics NHS Digital's recently published Statistics on Obesity, Physical Activity and Diet – England, 2018 report reveals that obesity prevalence has remained at a similar level – around 26 per cent – in the adult population since 2010. Interestingly, in 1993, this figure was just 15 per cent. So although rates haven't risen much in the last eight years, there are still pressing concerns – and there is a long way to go before we start to see rates falling.
About half of those who were trying to lose weight were not using any weight management aids, such as going to the gym or some other form of exercise, using an activity tracker or fitness monitor, website or mobile phone app or receiving support from an NHS service or slimming club.
The problem is, says Tam, that there are too few health professionals helping people to lose weight. "There are very few courses run by health professionals dedicated to helping people lose weight because clinical commissioning groups can't afford to run them and GPs don't have time to have those conversations with patients during the 10 minute consultation," he explains, adding that this is where the pharmacy team can play a vital role in stepping into the gap and offering support and advice.
According to the NHS Digital report, more than 400,000 items were prescribed for the treatment of obesity in England alone during 2016/17. These people will be visiting pharmacies to collect their medication, and this will provide many opportunities for pharmacy staff to start conversations with them about their weight and activity levels.
Another alarming statistic in the report is that only 34 per cent of men and 42 per cent of women meet the Government's activity guidelines of doing 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week. In fact, one in five men (21 per cent) and one in four women (25 per cent) were classed as inactive in 2016.
NICE guidelines on managing obesity recommend that obese adults should be encouraged to increase their level of physical activity, even if they do not lose weight as a result because of the other health benefits it can bring. These include reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
The NHS Choices website outlines many ways to 'Get Fit for Free', and highlights that the secret to getting fit for free is to use every opportunity to be active. This doesn't have to be running, swimming, brisk walking, gardening and dancing all count too.
Other free ways to boost activity levels include walking everywhere – even a 10 minute walk can make a difference to a person's health; climbing stairs where possible, which burns more calories than jogging; cycling to work; and exercising at home.
NHS Choices provides links to a range of free activities, such as home workouts, exercise videos for all abilities and a "Couch to 5K" running plan for beginners. It also suggests signposting customers to local authorities, who may have information on leisure centres which offer initiatives such as free exercise classes, a free swim on certain days of the week or outdoor gyms that have equipment that can be used free of charge.
Steve Tolan, head of practice and development at the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, says pharmacy customers should be encouraged to choose activities that they will enjoy, and to build up the amount of activity they do gradually in order to avoid injury.
In addition to increasing activity slowly, customers should be advised, when appropriate, to do injury prevention exercises or stretches. They should make sure they listen to their bodies and if they have any niggles, they may need to temporarily modify their exercise until symptoms subside.
The Government's physical activity guidelines say that doing some form of exercise every day helps to maintain a healthy weight and reduces the risk of developing a range of diseases, including coronary heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. It also helps people to maintain people's ability to perform everyday tasks with ease.
Exercise has been shown to play a key role in improving mental health too. A new review, led by UK researchers, suggests that not only could exercise reduce the symptoms of depression, but it may also prevent it.
The review looked 49 studies involving 266,000 people. It found that those who followed the recommended weekly guideline of 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity were 31 per cent less likely to develop depression over the seven and a half year research period than those who did not achieve this level of activity. The results, published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, applied to men and women, young people, adults and elderly people.
Stephen goes on to say that when fitness levels increase, it can really boost self-esteem. "The sense of achievement a person gets from learning new skills can help them to feel better about themselves," he says. "Improved self-esteem also has a protective effect that increases life satisfaction and can make people more resilient and less stressed.
Sprains and strains are common injuries that affect the muscles and ligaments. Initially, they should be treated with an ice pack for 72 hours to help reduce swelling and inflammation. Cold products in the form of sprays, patches and gels can also be applied during the first 72 hours. The affected area should also be rested. If the injury is painful, paracetamol can be taken at any time, in line with pack instructions. However, ibuprofen should not be used until 48 hours after the injury has occurred as it may slow down healing. Similarly, heat products should not be used during this time or while swelling is present as they stimulate blood flow to the area.
Sprains and strains can be prevented by warming up properly before exercising and not exercising when muscles are tired. Heat products can be recommended for use before exercise to help warm up muscles.
Blisters should heal on their own within a week, but refer customers to the pharmacist if they have a blister that looks infected or is in an unusual place, if the blisters is associated with sunburn, the blister is very painful or keeps coming back, or if several blisters have appeared for no reason.
For blisters caused by friction (e.g. from footwear or repetitive sports), the following advice will help: customers should wash their hands before touching the blister to prevent infection; they should cover a blister that is likely to burst with a soft plaster or dressing, but they should allow the fl uid in a burst blister to drain before covering it with a plaster. Special hydrocolloid blister plasters can help to reduce pain and speed up healing. Wearing comfortable shoes that fi t well and thicker socks during exercise can help to prevent blisters from occurring.
Athlete's foot is a common fungal infection. It thrives in warm, moist environments and can be picked up from changing room floors. Symptoms include itchy white patches between the toes; red, sore, fl aky patches on the feet, and skin that may crack and bleed.
Pharmacy staff can recommend athlete's foot treatments that contain antifungal medicines, which are available as creams or sprays. Customers should also be advised to make sure their feet are completely dry after bathing or showering, wear clean cotton socks every day, use a separate towel for drying their feet and take their shoes off when they are at home.
Verrucas can be caught from wet floors in changing rooms and swimming pools. They are caused by a virus and can appear as small lumps of skin growing up into the soles of the feet. They are likely to have black dots in the centre surrounded by a harder, white area. Verrucas can be treated with over-the-counter creams, plasters and sprays. Advise customers to wash their hands before and after touching a verruca or applying treatment, to change their socks daily and to cover the verruca with a plaster. Wearing flip-flops in areas where verrucas might be picked up is also good practice.


This leaflet is written to help you understand more about cutaneous vasculitis. It tells you what it is, what causes it, what can be done about it and where to get more information about this condition.
Cutaneous vasculitis may be caused by an infection, medications, autoimmune diseases, malignancy (cancer) or blood disorders. In about half of cases, no cause is found. The triggers can induce increased activity of the immune system (the body's defence system), with increased production of inflammatory mediators which cause damage to blood vessel walls. Fluid may also leak from the blood vessels into the surrounding tissues which can result in swelling especially of the lower legs.
Vasculitis can occur 7-10 days after a viral or bacterial illness.
Vasculitis may occur in patients with autoimmune diseases (where the immune system reacts against patients own tissues) such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and inflammatory bowel disease.
More than 100 drugs have been associated in drug-induced vasculitis. These include antibiotics, anticonvulsants, diuretics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents. Any new medication taken will be the initial suspect of causing a vasculitic rash.
Cancers may be associated with increased thickening of the blood or development of antibodies which can cause blood vessel damage. Abnormalities of the red or white blood cells can also lead to vasculitis.
No, vasculitis is not known to be hereditary.
What are the features of cutaneous vasculitis?
The most common type of cutaneous vasculitis is cutaneous small vessel vasculitis (CSVV). This usually appears as non-blanching (the colour does not disappear when pressed) or bruise like marks on the skin, some of which may be raised lumps. These marks are typically small, but may measure between 1 millimetre to several centimetres as rarely, pustules, blisters and wheals which heal with darker skin colouration. These often cause no symptoms but can sometimes cause pain, burning and itching. The ankles and lower legs as well as pressure points on the knees, back of foot and lower legs are most frequently affected. Pressure points are found near joints and junctures and are specific sensitive areas on the body.
If medium-sized vessels in the skin are affected, a network-like skin discolouration, ulceration or larger raised lesions may be seen.
How is cutaneous vasculitis diagnosed?
The diagnosis can often be made based on the appearance of the skin.
1. A skin biopsy (tissue sample) usually confirms the diagnosis in classic cases, but this is not always required.
2. Blood tests are often carried out to check for the presence of infection, autoimmune and inflammatory conditions as well as blood abnormalities.
3. A urine sample, blood pressure check and blood tests are useful to exclude involvement of other organs.
4. Very rarely, scans may be needed to check for vasculitis in other organs.
How can cutaneous vasculitis be treated?
Any underlying causes should be dealt with. For example, any possible medication reactions should be stopped (but only after advice by a doctor) and underlying infection should be treated.
In patients with severe or systemic disease treatment with other medication which suppress or modulate change to adjust the immune system, including immunotherapy may be required.
Can cutaneous vasculitis be cured?
The outlook is good with a full recovery in 90% of cases (providing only the skin is involved). The rash may recur at intervals for some time after the initial episode. Even after successful treatment, the areas affected by vasculitis can become more pigmented (brown or black) compared to non-affected skin. This discolouration usually takes months to fade to normal.
Where can I get more information about vasculitis?

The U.S. Forest Service faces a future of increasing complexity and risk, pressing financial issues, and the inescapable possibility of loss of human life. These issues are perhaps most acute for wildland fire management, the highest risk activity in which the Forest Service engages. Risk management (RM) has long been put forth as an appropriate approach for addressing fire, and agency-wide adoption of RM principles and practices will be critical to bring about necessary change and improve future decisions.
The Wildfire Risk Management Science Team, housed in the Human Dimensions Science Program, seeks to develop and apply risk analysis, economics, and decision science research to improve the scientific basis for wildfire management.
1) How can we better understand the complexities of the fire management system, identify characteristics of the system structure that drive behavior, and improve the system so that behavior better aligns with intended purpose?
2) How can we build the capacity to adapt and transform the wildfire management response to meet long-term sustainable management objectives?
The Team explores wildfire management through the lenses of risk analysis, economics, decision science, and landscape ecology to improve the scientific basis for the full range of wildfire management decisions.
Wildfire risk assessment framework (figure from RMRS GTR-315).
Over the past several years, the Team has played a critical role in the application of risk management to improve wildfire management planning and decision making. Additionally, the program has provided key research to help the Forest Service better understand and describe the return on investments of alternative fire management strategies and expenditures. Perhaps most fundamentally, the Team has begun to examine fire management institutions in light of their role in broader coupled human and natural systems, asking whether existing management systems set up managers for success in an increasingly complex fire environment, and if not, what types of systemic, cultural, and organizational shifts may be necessary.
The Team produced a series of three illustrated videos to help users understand their work.
These videos describe new research related to the complexity of fire risk management and features tools developed by the team for use in proactive wildfire planning: quantitative wildfire risk assessments, suppression difficulty index, and potential control locations that help form potential wildfire operational delineations (aka PODs). The Team deploys these tools in planning applications on National Forest System lands across the western U.S. Incident management teams use these tools for real-time decision support to prioritize responder safety and assess suppression opportunities in fire operations. Forest managers and their neighbors use these tools to promote shared stewardship and to integrate fire into landscape planning, prioritize fuel treatments, and create or improve control opportunities to reduce risk to things they value.
In a recording from the Missoula Fire Lab's Seminar Series in March 2017, RMRS Research Forester Matthew Thompson discusses themes of risk and resiliency in relation to the fire management system, and introduces ideas around how concepts and tools from risk and decision analysis can help address systemic issues in land and fire management.
In a TEDx talk, RMRS Ecologist Jessica Haas discusses some of the challenges of wildland fire, and emphasizes the role of risk management and collaboration to jointly design fire adapted communities and fire resilient landscapes.
In a recording from the Property and Environmental Research Center from August 2016 linked here, RMRS Research Forester Dr. Dave Calkin discusses some of the challenges faced by the wildfire management community as well as some potential solutions tied to risk management principles.
The Team works closely with the National Fire Decision Support Center (NFDSC) to implement science-based solutions to wildfire decision-making challenges.

Amazon drops crazy Echo Dot deal foreshadowing best Prime Day yet
By Josh Levenson	 October 12, 2020
Prime Day 2020 hasn't started yet, but Amazon has already hinted that it's going to be its best one yet. How? Because it has just kicked off an utterly ridiculous Prime Day Amazon Echo deal that sees the Echo Dot (3rd Gen) on sale for just $19 — down a $31 from the usual $50. Pricing aside, what's interesting here it has been to date, beating the discount we saw on Black Friday by $3.
If the rainforest-named retailer takes that same approach for the million-odd items that will be on sale tomorrow, we're certainly in for a treat. In fact, we already know that'll be the case. Confirming the Prime Day 2020 date at the end of September, Amazon told Digital Trends that items discounted on Prime Day 2020 won't be cheaper on Black Friday 2020 or Cyber Monday 2020.
What does this Echo Dot deal mean for Prime Day 2020?
Looking at some of the other Amazon device deals the e-commerce titan launched today, one thing is clear: It isn't playing around when it comes to discounts. We've seen the Amazon Echo Studio discounted from $200 down to just $150, the fan-favorite Fire HD 10 tablet on sale for just $80 from $150, and Fire TV Recast (500GB) in the bargain bin at $100 below sticker.
Notably, these are all lowest-ever prices. As such, we can expect the retailer to follow suit by introducing similar Amazon discounts on must-have items like the iPad Mini. The latest iPad 10.2, which was announced last month, has already found its way onto the sale rack where it's currently available for just $299 — down $30 from the usual $330 — so who knows what else Amazon has up its sleeve?
It's looking good.
We strive to help our readers find the best deals on quality products and services, and we choose what we cover carefully and independently. The prices, details, and availability of the products and deals in this post may be subject to change at anytime. Be sure to check that they are still in effect before making a purchase.

Fighting the rise of the machines
By Rebecca Kheel - 03/06/18 06:00 AM EST
© Greg Nash
Mary Wareham wants to be clear: This isn't about the Terminator.
At the same time, she knows a flashy name will get more attention: Hence, the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots.
"This is about framing a future threat. One way in which we're trying to do that is not by using images of the Terminator and talking about far-off depictions of military application of artificial intelligence," Wareham said in a recent interview with The Hill. "We've been more interested in looking at existing weapons systems today because there are many now that have got some autonomy in them."
Wareham is the global coordinator for the group, which since 2013 has brought together several nongovernmental organizations with the goal of pre-emptively banning fully autonomous weapons and ensuring humans retain control over critical functions of weapons systems and the decision to launch an attack.
"So the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, we don't make any apologies for using that as the title of our campaign," she said. "Killer is a weapons system and autonomous is a robot, and it would have probably never gotten off the ground if we had called this thing the campaign to stop lethal autonomous weapons systems. So it did capture people's imagination."
What at first blush sounds like science fiction is increasingly becoming a technological reality. The military has tested fully autonomous drones, submarines and trucks in recent years. An October 2016 test that aired on "60 Minutes" showed a swarm of 103 small drones getting into formation, reacting to their environment and otherwise operating without any human help.
Wareham pegs her interest in arms control back to her days growing up in Wellington, New Zealand, in the 1980s, joining protests against nuclear weapons.
"French nuclear testing in the Pacific, the impact of American nuclear testing, the British nuclear testing in Australia — as a country in the Pacific, that alarmed us," she recalled. "And there was a concerted effort in the 1970s, which kind of led to New Zealand's nuclear-free legislation" in 1987.
In 1996, she moved to the United States to help the coordinator of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, Jody Williams, believing the work would take decades. The group achieved its goal, an international treaty banning
anti-personnel landmines, a year and a half later.
In 1998, Wareham started working for Human Rights Watch to set up a civil society verification system for the landmines treaty, and has been working on and off for the group ever since, including currently as advocacy director of the arms division.
In that role, she continues overseeing adherence to treaties on banned weapons and in recent years has been documenting the use of landmines, cluster munitions, chemical weapons and incendiary weapons in Syria.
The Campaign to Stop Killer Robots first took shape in 2012, she said, and officially launched with a couple dozen nongovernmental organizations in April 2013. Autonomous weapons were always on the agenda for her division, and roboticists and artificial intelligence experts had been contacting her and her colleagues, so they decided it was finally time to do something.
The campaign's work includes pushing governments for a ban at several Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons meetings. Wareham counts the existence of such meetings as an early win for the campaign.
The international process isn't perfect. She said it goes too slowly and is too modest in its goals. But it does give the campaign a chance to meet with officials from countries such as Russia and China that are otherwise hard to reach.
"I did have a long talk with the Russian delegation last November, and their argument was less with the substance on killer robots," she said. "It was more with the priority. Their delegation said that the weaponization of outer space is a more important issue."
The campaign's contact with U.S. officials also tends to be limited to those multilateral settings, she said, but the U.S. delegation is always willing to sit down.
Wareham gives credit to the United States for being one of the only countries with a policy on autonomous weapons. The Pentagon policy, which was first imposed in 2012 and was renewed last year, says humans must retain judgment over the use of force even in autonomous and semi-autonomous systems.
"Is it a perfect policy? No. Some of the members of the campaign are upset that it green lights the development, while curbing the use," Wareham said. "But we still point to that policy as one of the few in the world. … You could ask a lot of questions about, is the Trump administration having a negative impact on our work? And in that case, I couldn't really see their involvement in that policy review process."
Asked about nongovernmental organizations that want to ban autonomous weapons, the director of the Department of Defense (DOD) office at the helm of many artificial intelligence efforts pointed to that policy.
"Where it gets tricky is making the lethal force decision, and we have a pretty clear DOD policy that says we're not going to put a machine in charge of making that decision," Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Director Steven Walker told reporters last week, in response to a question from The Hill. "And I think that's the right policy, and every uniformed, four-star general that I've heard talk about it agrees with that. So I don't think at least the U.S. is ever going to put a machine in charge of making that lethal force decision."
Walker also said the technology still has a long way to go.
"We did the DARPA Robotics Challenge, which I think showed how far away we are from robots being able to do military missions," he said. "At least on the ground. The ground is complicated, the perception you have to have on the ground."
This year, Wareham said, one of the campaign's biggest goals is to expand its global reach. Among those efforts, she highlighted a manga comic recently published by one of the campaign's nongovernmental organizations in Japan and being sold to kids.
She also hopes to identify new civil society contacts to work with and encourage them to take steps such as issuing briefing papers, holding events and reaching out to their own governments.
"I talked to one government diplomat — not from the U.S. but another country — a couple of weeks ago, and he said, 'We don't have a policy on this yet because nothing bad's happened, Mary,' " she recalled. "And then you get some other countries who are like, 'We haven't gotten a policy on this yet because we're waiting for the big guys to decide.' "
But to Wareham, the choice is clear: ban autonomous weapons now or go down a path that leads to an arms race akin to the nuclear arms race.
"A lot of people dismissed us early on, but now they see that we're not going anywhere," she said. "We're not disappearing. We're definitely sticking with this, and the sense of urgency just is growing and with it, the expectation that the countries are going to do something."


A fully automatic, zero loss drain that requires no electricity. Translucent reservoir for visual assurance of operation. Ideal for Oil/Water Separators.
Condensate enters the drain through one of two inlet connections. As condensate is collected and the translucent reservoir fills, a stainless steel float mechanism rises. When the condensate reaches a design level, the float mechanism actuates an isolated magnetic trigger assembly. The trigger assembly directs control air to the valve actuator, which in turn opens a full-port drain valve.
Condensate will then exit the unit. As the float drops, the trigger assembly closes the control air line and the valve actuator closes the ball valve. The drain is then returned to the collection mode.
Operating Temperature 32° to 180° F.

Surrey and Glamorgan find themselves struggling at in the bottom half of the table with three and two wins respectively. The lock horns on the evening of 31st July in a quest to rise up the ranks in the points table. Placed at the fourth spot from the bottom, a win for Glamorgan won't make much of a difference to their current ranking, but it will certainly make the job a little easier for them. For Surrey, a win here could take them to as higher as the third spot provided other results of the day go their way.
Surrey are playing this match after a long match of four days which should be enough for their players to feel fresh and rejuvenated. They registered a nine-wicket win over Somerset at home in a rain-curtailed match.
Surrey have one of the most explosive opening pairs in the world with the services of Jason Roy and Aaron Finch. Jason Roy missed the earlier part of the tournament due to international commitments, but his return to the squad immediately helped Surrey reap fruitful results.
Chasing a total of 100 runs in 10 overs, Surrey blasted to the total with 20 balls to spare and nine wickets in hand. Aaron Finch blasted 43 off just 21 deliveries while Jason Roy contributed with his 11-ball 28 to provide Surrey a quick-fire start. Earlier with the ball, Tom Curran and Riki Clarke ran through Somerset's batting lineup as the duo dismissed two wickets each. The spin and experience of Gareth Batty came in handy as he didn't allow Somerset batsmen to get away in the middle overs.
Overall, Surrey is a strong team on paper and their standings in the points table do not justify that. They need to kick-start their campaign and with Jason Roy back in the squad, they will be a tough team to get past in the tournament from now on.
JJ Roy, Aaron Finch, Nic Maddinson, Ben Foakes, Ollie Pope, Rikki Clarke, Tom Curran, Scott Borthwick, MW Pillans, Gareth Batty, Jade Dernbach.
After a good start in the tournament and being in a commanding position, Glamorgan have lost two matches in their last two and are languishing right in the middle of the points table. They could still rise to the third spot in the points table with a win here, thanks to their superb net run rate, but they'd need both Somerset and Sussex to lose their respective games.
Glamorgan failed to overcome their neighbors in their previous encounter, against Gloucestershire, where Michael Klinger summoned a brilliant half-century to hand Glamorgan their third loss of the tournament. Chasing a total of 197, Glamorgan batsmen failed to get going as Andrew Tye dismissed three of their batsmen. Glamorgan started off rather poorly as Gloucestershire got off to a flying start, thanks to a drop by Kiran Carlson.
Their seamers failed to put any breaks whatsoever on Gloucs' scoring rate as they raced to 91 in the tenth over. Andrew Salter and Rory Smith bowled well in the middle overs as they picked three wickets in the space of just nine deliveries. However, excellent batting by Klinger coupled with some poor death bowling saw Gloucestershire score 197 which proved to be too much to handle for Glamorgan batsmen.
Barring Aneurin Donald, Colin Ingram, and Usman Khawaja, no Glamorgan batsman looked comfortable in handling Andrew Tye's variation which eventually became the reason for the downfall of Glamorgan in this important match.
Aneurin Donald, Usman Khawaja, Nicholas Selman, Kiran Carlson, Chris Cooke, Craig Meschede, Graham Wagg, Andrew Salter, Ruaidhri Smith, Timm van der Gugten, Michael Hogan.
It is an important match for both the sides as a win here could be the turning point they're looking for in the competition. While both the sides are a little over-reliant on a couple of batsmen, Surrey's batting appears to be better on paper. Stopping Jason Roy and Aaron Finch could be difficult for Glamorgan's batsmen and therefore we believe Surrey as the better-placed team to emerge victorious in the upcoming match.

Jack Semple Band	Thursday July 13 2017
Jack Semple Band
Juno and Gemini-award winning musician, songwriter and composer, Jack Semple is renowned through Western Canada and is hitting Ontario once again after his famous stint with the Lincolns and winning the MuchMusic Guitar Wars as a young man.
Jack's joyous yet ferocious flamenco-trained guitar style invigorates his limitless language to redefine the instrument. He sings with the power of an archangel.
And then there's his songwriting. His last effort, "In The Blue Light," – all original songs, won the Western Canadian album of the year. "He's a triple threat, one of my very favorites." says Cindy McLeod, longtime leading promoter and manager of the Calgary Blues Festival. "His talent is sort of not fair."
Fair or not, it is past due for the rest of the world to get to know Jack. At the Lancaster Roots and Blues festival this past month, the uninitiated were converted. "He was without peer at the festival," said Barry Blechman. "I am a professional concert goer and have heard them all, know them all, loved many. Jack Semple is as good as it gets."
