26 Filipino Words Now Officially Part Of The English Langauge
“Halo-halo,” “balikbayan,” and “comfort room” are among dozens of new Filipino words in the Oxford English Dictionary.
"Mabuhay"
The Oxford English Dictionary used this Filipino salutation, literally meaning "long live," to greet readers in a blog post today announcing that dozens of Philippine English words are now officially in the OED.
English has been spoken in the Philippines since it was first introduced to the archipelago by US colonial government in the early 1900s, explained Danica Salazar, the Filipina author of the post who's been pushing to include Filipino-coined words into the OED.
"Throughout the years, Filipino English speakers have been adapting the vocabulary of this once foreign tongue, using it to express their own identity and way of life," Salazar wrote. "Some of these unique lexical innovations have found their way into the OED for the very first time in this latest update."

"Balikbayan"
Meaning: A Filipino visiting or returning to the Philippines after a period of living in another country.
A balikbayan box is a carton shipped or brought to the Philippines from another country by a Filipino who has been living overseas, typically containing items such as food, clothing, toys, and household products.

Why Robots Aren't Coming For Your Job — Yet
In the booming field of industrial robotics, the race is on to create a machine that can actually replace human workers. But even with the brightest minds in automation on the project, human-less labor is more science fiction than near future.
On a sweltering afternoon in San Jose, California, in the cafeteria of a brand-new building called the Blue Sky Innovation Center, a robot is making a salad. Specifically, it's making a kale salad with goat cheese, blueberries, and sunflower seeds, partially heating the mixture to lightly melt the cheese.

Why LaLa Anthony Stripped Down In This Week's "Power"
The former reality TV star tells BuzzFeed News this is the start of taking her acting career seriously. “If they can get past, ‘LaLa’s boobs are out!’ … then they can see that.” WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!
LaLa Anthony stars as LaKeisha on Power.
Starz
When LaLa Anthony slides her hands down the sides of the smooth, bare, chocolate skin of her co-star Sinqua Walls on Power on Saturday night, you will practically hear the gasping, howling, and screaming from audiences everywhere.
As the camera closes in on her face, her eyes pop open, she smiles and eventually disrobes and straddles her younger lover. Fans of the saucy, sexy Starz drama have been waiting for this moment ever since it leaked a few weeks ago that Anthony would have such a meaty storyline in Season 2 — that sex scene, in which she is topless, included.
"Being a person that people already know, I know the scrutiny is going to be even more," Anthony told BuzzFeed News in a phone interview. Her husband, New York Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony "doesn't want to watch it," she recently said on Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club. But, she added, "He understands that it's my job."
For Anthony, who has an airtight scandal-free reputation, the scene on Power indicates she's ready to push the boundaries in regards to her acting career.
"I just feel like if I am taking acting seriously — and this is what I'm doing — then how can I be an actress that has never had a love scene or a sex scene? It seems a little unrealistic," Anthony told BuzzFeed News. "If you look at all the great actresses, the people who are doing great work, they've all had sex scenes or love scenes. I just thought career-wise, it made sense. It's something I felt was great and something that I wanted to do. But any time you take your clothes off, anybody's going to be nervous about that."
Starz
Anthony rose to prominence as an MTV VJ in 2001 (co-hosting Direct Effect and Total Request Live), was in a long term relationship with one of the NBA's best athletes, had a must-watch reality show on VH1, and counts celebrities like Kim Kardashian West, Ciara, and Kelly Rowland among her best friends. She landed a role in the 2012 ensemble film Think Like A Man, comfortably playing the sidekick best friend to a tragically single Meagan Good — it was familiar territory. But with Power, Anthony was ready to really dive in and go places her longtime fans couldn't ever have imagined her going.
She plays LaKeisha, the childhood best friend (though at times, frenemy) of Tasha (Naturi Naughton) — and in Power's inaugural season, it was business as usual for Anthony, who didn't venture too far outside the confines of what we've seen her doing before.
"I knew that the character would want to go somewhere. I liked that there was always room for her to continue to grow," Anthony said of her initial interest in the role. "Sometimes people want to come out the gates doing so much, but a lot of times on shows like Power, it becomes a quick burn. You're there, and then all of a sudden you're gone. With my character, I like that they're easing her in and giving her more and more to do as you go. I was intrigued by that."

Jennicet Gutiérrez may not have shown the best manners when she interrupted President Obama at a pride event this week, but she's much more than just a "heckler." In a Slate essay, J.
