And Adele.
Mark Zuckerberg has been ploughing brain cells and money into building an artificial intelligence system for his home that can not only turn lights up or down but can also play Adele and Red Hot Chili Peppers on demand.
As pointed out by Ny Mag's Brian Feldman on Twitter, Zuckerberg posted a note to Facebook yesterday titled Building Jarvis, in which he details his personal challenge of 2016: "To build a simple AI to run my home – like Jarvis in Iron Man."
In the post, Zuckerberg sets out the different artificial intelligence techniques used by the computer, including "natural language processing, speech recognition, face recognition, and reinforcement learning" and says that he has so far programmed Jarvis to control a number of different systems in the house.
However, in the Natural Language section of the post, Zuckerberg explains that music is a lot more complex than flicking a switch on and off, simply "because there are too many artists, songs and albums for a keyword system to handle. The range of things you can ask it is also much greater." Source code commanding Jarvis to "play some Red Hot Chili Peppers" is then embedded in the post, with tracks including 'Don't Stop' and 'Under The Bridge'. Erm.
"When you say "play X", even subtle variations can mean many different things," he continues. "Consider these requests related to Adele: "Play someone like you", "play someone like adele", and "play some adele". Those sound similar, but each is a completely different category of request. The first plays a specific song, the second recommends an artist, and the third creates a playlist of Adele's best songs. Through a system of positive and negative feedback, an AI can learn these differences."
He adds: "The more context an AI has, the better it can handle open-ended requests. At this point, I mostly just ask Jarvis to "play me some music" and by looking at my past listening patterns, it mostly nails something I'd want to hear.
"If it gets the mood wrong, I can just tell it, for example, "that's not light, play something light", and it can both learn the classification for that song and adjust immediately."

Does poetry matter? Few but other poets may read it. Auden wrote that ''poetry makes nothing happen.'' Except perhaps when violent events are upon us. Then it can cut through the darkness, console, summon. War and poetry, for instance, have always been connected, and now, at the what seems the moment before war, America's poets are suddenly again playing a traditional, if at times quixotic role of poets as spokesmen for dissent.
Paradoxically, war and poetry were conjoined again last month, and the slumbering legions of American poets were set marching when Laura Bush postponed a Feb. 12 White House symposium on the works of Emily Dickinson, Langston Hughes and Walt Whitman. Some of the poets invited to the event said they would use it to protest war against Iraq. Of course, poetry has not always been used for protest in war. Poignant patriotic verse, written from war zones, often made war's violence seem less meaningless.
Perhaps the ultimate role of poets is to be hidden but ready like firefighters to come forth in emergency. If so, Auden was wrong. Poetry concentrates thought and emotion, and it emerged to console after Sept. 11. Now Mrs. Bush has summoned it, accidentally, once again, this time to its traditional duty of protest and dissent. Sam Hamill, a poet and founder of the Copper Canyon Press in Port Townsend, Wash., has organized a poetic protest in which he has urged poets to deluge the White House with anti-war poems. He said that as of Tuesday about 3,500 poems had been collected.
On Feb. 16 nine poets -- including Ruth Stone, the 1992 National Book Award winner -- will conduct a reading at the First Congregational Church in Manchester, Vt., sponsored by the local Northshire Bookstore. It is being called ''A Poetry Reading in Honor of the Right to Protest as a Patriotic and Historical Tradition.'' They will read the work of the poets picked by Mrs. Bush for her symposium: the two revolutionaries Hughes and Whitman, and Dickinson. And their own poems. (There will be a similar reading at New York University on Wednesday at 1 p.m. at the Bobst Library.)
Poets may rightly grumble that they aren't read or paid enough, but in times of crisis it's the poets, of all the artists in all countries, who suddenly seem the most important. Robert Lowell was a face of protest during the Vietnam war. Rupert Brooke and Robert Graves were among those who, writing from the trenches in World War I, best conveyed the anguish of war in what was not protest but patriotic poetry.Continue reading the main story
So now, hardly surprisingly, we have our poets stepping forward to protest war, at what appears a fairly late moment. Why are poets the leading dissenters? Galway Kinnell, who declined his invitation to the White House symposium but will be reading in Vermont, said simply: ''It's poetry's duty and part of its role to speak out. This ferment by poets had its beginnings with poetry readings against the war in Vietnam.''
Mr. Hamill said, ''I think poets have become the conscience of our culture.'' He added: ''I was inspired by the antiwar rallies of the 60's. But protest has always been the role of the poets. Read Whitman's editorials on slavery. He was out there long before anyone else.'' (Well, yes, Whitman was a newspaperman, too.)
Jay Parini, who will also be reading in Vermont, said he accepted the White House invitation happily ''because I thought I could have said something about the war directly to Mrs. Bush.'' He said he believed poets become important in crisis time ''because our language is pure, and politicians abuse language.'' He added: ''It might take time, but the language of poetry seeps through. Poets like Robert Lowell made a difference during Vietnam.''
Poetry has a grand history as an avenging sword in Latin America. William O'Daly, who will read in Vermont, said: ''In Latin America historically people often looked to their poets for guidance. In Chile it was Pablo Neruda. In China it's always been a tradition. We haven't reached that in this country yet, but we will get to embrace the role of poets in the political world, if we are willing to invite those of opposing ideas.''
The United States poet laureate, Billy Collins, said, ''A lot of the poetry of protest will have a short shelf life unless the poems transcend the events.'' He said the poems written ''from the trenches by British poets in World War I are still being read today, are very relevant.'' Mr. Collins is not among the Vermont readers.
Jody Gladding, who will be at Vermont, said: ''I think poets may hopefully be able to articulate what everybody is thinking. In other cultures, like Latin America, that's traditional.''
The common theme among poets seems to be their belief that the beauty and precision of their use of language can make a difference. David Budbill said, ''Telling the truth in vivid language committed to humanity is important for people to hear, because politicians don't.'' And Greg Delanty said, ''One advantage poets have is that we are not encumbered like politicians worrying about how our words affect our careers.''
Edward Morrow, a co-owner of the Northshire Bookstore with his wife, Barbara, said they were sponsoring the reading event because they had become incensed when they read letters in newspapers calling war dissenters unpatriotic. ''Who better than poets to refute that?''' he asked. ''They reflect society and see its underlying truths.''
Poets have been clearing away sloppy thoughts since the beginning of literature, unfortunately not always with the grand witty imagination of the Greek playwright and comic poet Aristophanes. Like most poets, he was against war. Unlike most, he had a great idea to prevent it. He came up with the preposterous thought that women should withhold sex until their men gave up their warring ways. Women are so wonderful: they did it. And it worked. Read all about it in ''Lysistrata.''
The Making Books column yesterday, about protests by poets against war misstated the year that one of them, Ruth Stone, won the National Book Award. It was 2002, not 1992.

Yell Labs is the latest in a recent surge in augmented reality apps. Coming from Yell, it should come as little surprise that the app is concerned with finding out information about local businesses and services, but unlike other phone directory tools, this works by determining your current location and overlaying information about the locality.
This makes use of the iPhone 3GS' compass, so the app is not compatible with other versions of the iPhone. Simply point the camera around the street you are standing it and businesses' Yell listing will be overlaid on screen - complete with button to call the business or visit their web site. Particular types of business can be tracked down by using the category search option, and the radar at the top of the screen shows you the direction in which you need to head if you want to visit a particular business.
There is nice support for finger gestures with a quick swipe to left displaying a number of popular searches for you to choose from, and a swipe to the right can be used to adjust the range of the search.
The app is of questionable use when you are in your home town, but when you are out and about, it can prove valuable if you spot a shop that happens to be shut and you want to phone the next day, or if you spot a takeaway during the day and want to find out the phone number for use later that night. The augmented reality aspect of the app is a little on the gimmicky side, but Yell Labs is useful nonetheless.
Yell Labs is great for finding out what's around you, but other telephone listing apps are equally useful.

Weight gain, swollen feet and a sore back are just some of the changes pregnancy brings. But did you know that being pregnant can affect your eyesight as well? MH finds out how.
Pregnancy is a time of many changes, and mothers will experience a range of fluctuating problems. They can range from breast changes, tiredness, and nausea, mood swings, and weight gain, heartburn, swelling of the ankles or fingers, and mild contractions.
Usually the first trimester of pregnancy, you will experience an upset stomach, tender and swollen breasts, mood swings, weight gain or loss and constipation as well. Each woman experiences different pregnancy symptoms or changes. Some may feel discomfort while some might not feel any at all. Hence, it is necessary to implement these changes to your daily routine and lifestyle habits. Lee Feng Yuan, an optometrist at KJ Optometrists, who has a Bachelor Degree in Clinical Optometry, tells us the ways pregnancy can affect your vision.
Hormonal Changes
During pregnancy, some mothers may experience fluid retention which causes an increase in both corneal curvature and thickness. The quality or quantity of your tears may also change during this time and affect the vision. Keep the irritation at bay by using eyedrops but be sure to check in with your doctor to find out if the ingredients are safe for pregnancy.
Ocular Migraine
This is a temporary headache that causes blurry vision. It starts off with
a heat wave in the vision. An aura is also a known symptom of ocular migraines and involves flashing lights and blind spots.
It is important to get your much-desired amount
of rest and to perform eye massages.
Eye Pressure
This can potentially happen due to hormonal changes and increase in eye pressure. The spiking of eye pressure linked to glaucoma affects the optic nerve. It involves the compression of the nerve fibre and loss of the layer.
Metabolic Changes
It increases the risk of diabetes, blood pressure and high blood sugar levels. There will be potential changes for someone with diabetic and high blood pressure as these can possibly result in a vision loss.
Water Retention
Water retention can lead to corneal oedema. Fluid retention during pregnancy can cause swelling of the eye and cornea which gives rise to astigmatism changes. Astigmatism changes only on the eye and vision. It is spherical and the curvature is a result of water accumulation.
While these changes may affect your vision, remember that it is very likely temporary. Therefore, it is not advisable for pregnant women to get a new pair of glasses or new contact lenses.

Today I have my final Smith & Cult swatch and review for you all! Last, but certainly not least, is "Filth Noir".
Smith & Cult "Filth Noir" is a vampy, deep purple creme. In some lights, it looks almost black. Here I am wearing two smooth coats with a layer of their Above it All top coat. Look how shiny it is!!
This polish definitely looks darker on the nail. In the bottle, you can tell that it is purple, but it is super dark on. I wish this was slightly less dark, but I still think this is a gorgeous polish. If you are really into very deep nail colors, then I think you will love this one!
Just like the other Smith & Cult polishes I have tried, this polish's formula is smooth and super shiny. And the best part was that it did not stain my nails or cuticles when I removed it! :)
Smith & Cult polishes (as well as their base and top coat) are $18 each. So this is a more high-end brand, but the quality is definitely up to that standard. I have been really impressed with their polishes! If you are able to afford them, I would definitely give them a big thumbs up.
I hope you all found this review helpful!

June has been a decent month for Under Armour, with sneaker poster boy Steph Curry winning another NBA championship.
And then on Sunday, the face of Under Armour golf not only atoned for a rough finish to his final round by hitting a tournament-winning chip on the first playoff — he also went viral with the celebration of the clutch shot.
Jordan Spieth won his 10th PGA tour event, defeating Daniel Berger on the first hole of a playoff after finishing the Travelers Championship tied at 12-under par. From a bunker along the green, Spieth rolled in a chip from about 61 feet.
With the win, Spieth, 23, joins Tiger Woods as the only golfers in the modern era to win 10 PGA Tour...

Do Musicals Belong on TV?
Posted by Valerie David | Jan 21, 2015 | Entertainment | 0
Many thought the critical and fan acclaim for 2001's "Moulin Rouge" meant a musical revival was imminent. It wasn't. Modern audiences have a limited appetite for the genre, making it especially difficult to launch a TV musical that viewers will tune in for weekly. Attempts to bring more music into the schedule had mixed results. With some critical and Twitter love for ABC's limited series "Galavant," is there still hope for more musical TV? Recent Musical Hits The "Glee" creators knew that a musical series could only succeed if it attacked on all fronts. They combined high-quality music, universal themes on the nightmare that is high school, over-the-top humor, outlandishly surreal plots, an attractive cast of all ages, and groundbreaking diversity. The teenage cast gave the writers a way to voice objections ahead of the viewer. The glee club rolled their eyes at show tunes, demanded more modern music, and cut off any too-poignant scenes with mockery or humor. Over time, they built up an audience that discovered they had been tricked into liking show tunes, victory for teenage geeks, and weepy sentimentality. Though the show eventually spun out of control and lost viewers, it's still a testament to how a musical series can succeed. ABC's "Nashville" isn't precisely a musical, but it's so packed with performances and plot-related lyrics and reflective solos that it's close enough. The series hooked viewers with talented young stars and surprise TV veterans who could really sing. The quality of songwriting on the show makes every song sound like a chart-topping hit. "Nashville" combined insights into the cutthroat music business with a heavy dose of sexy soap opera melodrama. The show also isn't afraid to have a sense of humor about itself. Not much on TV can compare to a pregnant Hayden Panettiere zooming around a festival in a goofy disguise and a wheelchair to "secretly" stalk her onscreen ex-boyfriend. Gems like this keep fans glued to their screens, waiting to see what will happen next. Musical Flops "Smash" tried to do the soapy backstage drama "Nashville" has done better. The short-lived Broadway series was never sure exactly what it wanted to be, and a reinvention for the second season wasn't soon enough to save it. In showing us the underbelly of the hyper-competitive theater scene, it created catty, backstabbing characters who were tough to like. It would have seemed impossible to fail with the immensely popular Hugh Jackman in the lead of a TV musical. Unfortunately, his Vegas series "Viva Laughlin" was a huge flop. Turning a murder mystery into a musical is a difficult disconnect for audiences to overcome, and the poor support casting and awkward pacing made the series painful to watch. Galavant Saves the Musical? This season, ABC launched the comedic, half-hour medieval musical "Galavant." The series received plenty of promotional build-up, luring viewers to this mash-up of absurdist Mel Brooks style humor and earworm tunes.
I have been singing #galavant all morning! Catchy little sucker… We have to play on the show this week @ItsDjWillyB #mouseketeerradio
— Christina Kay (@TheChristinaKay) January 14, 2015
#Galavant is one of those shows that's so ridiculous, it SHOULD be terrible, but it's ridiculousness is why it's hilariously great.
— sam (@xoawesomesauce) January 14, 2015
Like "Glee," the new series "Galavant" embraces the bold, over-the-top acting and singing of a Broadway musical while simultaneously parodying it. The song lyrics string jokes, sarcasm, and bad puns together in a family-friendly way that still has enough double entendres to keep adults snickering. Fans love the scenery-chewing regulars, and the glorious bits of stunt casting. We get the often-terrifying Vinnie Jones goofily dancing in armor with his doofus king, or "Downton Abbey" stoic patriarch Hugh Bonneville singing the lament of a land-locked pirate.
Galavant will have Weird al in it? I'm in, even though I already was.
— Red Head Rob (@RedHeadRob) January 14, 2015
galavant is all over my dash and timeline I really need to check it out
— Fi (@tragicheartss) January 14, 2015
"Galavant" is made for modern TV, with sing-along YouTube videos and live tweet sessions building buzz on social media. The colorful, comic nature of the series also inspires fans to create their own humor, which further builds the show's reputation.

A limited series guarantees the show won't wear out its welcome, and also helps it land talented stars who wouldn't sign on for a longer project. The fact that it's only eight episodes makes it more of a "must see" event, rather than something that can be caught up with "eventually" and possibly forgotten. This four-week experiment could reveal the best formula to make musical TV popular again: with humor, catchy tunes, likable actors, and in small doses.

From the book:
By spotting this lapse in an opponent is to spot a weakness and the advantage should be taken by turning the opponents power around and use it against him. This is true Zanshin. Again don't stop once a thrust is initiated.
The way to train with this ancient Kata Sanchin from Uechi-Ryu is that the resources you have can be developed more through Jiyu Kumite I think. This is a more reliable method for training and tempering of the basics through the use of the kata and through controlled sparring.
You have more freedom as you develop Jiyu Kumite. The truth of Budo in Karate will be evident. There is room to change, and the way is hard work and study.
In recent years Karate Do's path or base has emanated from Okinawa. The prosperity of course comes from Okinawa also. The information coming out of Okinawa on Karate has been increased greatly.
This is all part of a change in the way information is disseminated. This form of popularization is increasing greatly.

Megan Burks | KPBS
Mariam Ali recalls trying to rent an apartment when she arrived in San Diego 25 years ago after fleeing Somalia. She was receiving public housing assistance.
"The white guy came and he was like, 'Do you work?' I said, 'No, I'm not working. I receive government assistance.' And he was like, 'Oh, no, I should not be talking to you,'" Ali said. "My English was not good at that time, and I just ran from that neighborhood. I never went (back)."
That neighborhood was Kensington, where Peter Dennehy lives. It's an upper-middle class community filled with historic homes. Residents make, on average, $90,565 a year.
"I'm sorry that happened," Dennehy said to Ali.
We brought the two together at KPBS to talk politics. They come from starkly different neighborhoods and backgrounds, but both will see the same ballot June 7. Dennehy and Ali live in the same City Council district, which will elect a new representative this year, and both plan to vote in the Democratic presidential primary.
"He didn't know if he was going to get the money or not," Ali said, picking up the conversation about the landlord who wouldn't rent to her. "In a way, I understand."
Ali ended up finding a place less than two miles away in Teralta. Her neighbors there make an average of $21,698 a year.
In the last general election, only 27 percent of the registered voters in her neighborhood cast ballots. Ali, on the other hand, never misses an election. In that way, she's more like those living in Kensington, where 62 percent of the registered voters turned out in 2014.
When Ali and Dennehy sit down together at KPBS, he's in a gray suit, having just come from work. She just dropped off her children for tutoring and is wearing a royal blue headscarf.
As they talk, they find common ground in politics, as do many of their neighbors. Residents in the district vote overwhelming Democratic — just not always for the same reasons.
Presidential politics
"Well, I'm not voting for Donald Trump," said Dennehy, who identifies as a moderate independent. "I'm going to vote for Hillary Clinton. I voted for her eight years ago. I'm the parent of a 13-year-old daughter."
"She has the education. She has the qualification," Ali chimed in. "And I want to see a woman president in the United States, too."
"I think it's time," Dennehy said.
"Yeah, it's time to do the change," Ali said.
Both said they appreciate that Clinton hasn't been as divisive on the campaign trail as the GOP candidates. They're particularly concerned with Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump's rhetoric on immigration.
For Ali, who is Muslim and became a U.S. citizen in 2003, Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the country stoked fear she might be separated from her U.S.-born children.
"When I hear something like that I was like, 'Oh, maybe they're coming next month to take us,'" Ali said.
Dennehy said Trump's proposals betray the nation's past of welcoming immigrants like Ali. He then added this:
"I don't know as many immigrants from other places, but I know a lot of people who are doing business on both sides of the border and really see the kind of language that we have as not good for business," Dennehy said. "We're a border region that's growing and looking to expand the opportunities of connection, not to wall ourselves off from each other."
Local issues
Dennehy and Ali also agree on a proposed San Diego ballot initiative to build a football stadium for the Chargers.
"They are the light our kids watch. They want to become one of them," Ali said. "We want the Chargers to be in San Diego County."
This surprised Dennehy.
"You're a strong Chargers fan!" he said. "I support the stadium in concept, and I don't even mind paying for it, to a degree."
But other local issues, such as infrastructure and housing, highlight their differences. They agree on the same outcome, but their backgrounds inspire different ways to get there.
For instance, Dennehy is in real estate development and said he believes ramping up housing production and increasing density along transit corridors — those are on Ali's side of the district — will make homes more affordable.
Ali said she welcomes denser development near her home but said she would like to see some kind of rent control to help her refugee neighbors who are on disability, or Supplemental Security Income.
"(Elected officials) can talk to the people who own the houses or apartments to lower the rent down," Ali suggested. "It's very high. A one bedroom with one small bathroom (is) $900, and the person is only receiving $800 from SSI. That doesn't go together."
The diverse Democratic base
Former Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins is a Democrat who represented Kensington and Teralta in City Heights as a San Diego councilwoman from 2000 to 2008. Her Assembly District also includes the neighborhoods, and she's running for the state Senate seat that includes them.
"Both communities need access to quality, decent, affordable housing," Atkins said, "The definitions of what is affordable and what that vision is might be a little different."
Atkins said because of these nuances, consensus at the ballot box doesn't mean elected officials won't have to work to build consensus on policy. Her advice to the area's next City Council representative: go where the people are and listen hard.
"For some parts of the community, it's the community planning committee or the town council or the business association," Atkins said. "And for some parts of the community, particularly City Heights, it's going to be their community room at (their housing complex)."
Francine Busby, chairwoman of the San Diego County Democratic Party, said the party's leaders will increasingly have to consider that the region is becoming more diverse and that not all Democrats share the same views. Since 2008, a majority of the registered voters in the county are Democrats.
"I think the biggest boost that we're getting, which is over 1,000 more Democrats than Republicans registering each month, are your new voters and the new citizen ceremonies," said Busby, referring to local voter registration.
Democrats only have a slight lead in San Diego County, where 35 percent of registered voters are Democrats, 33 percent are Republicans, with most the rest decline to state.
Paying attention to the region's growing diversity is something politicians may want to consider as they campaign, particularly those vying to represent Ali and Dennehy and their Kensington and Teralta neighbors on the San Diego City Council.
Dennehy said Kensington residents are already getting door hangers from the campaigns. Ali said that's not happening yet on her largely immigrant block in Teralta. Even so, she plans to vote on June 7.

What David (Horowitz) Doesn't Understand
In an article for his Front Page Magazine, titled "Why Michael Can't Read," David Horowitz tells me, a leftist since earliest I can remember, why I believe as I do. The title of DH's article refers to Pennsylvania State University professor Michael Berube, a teacher, scholar, and writer who, with Cary Nelson, edited Higher Education Under Fire: Politics, Economics, and the Crisis of the Humanities. Berube doesn't think much of DH's "DiscoverTheNetwork, which is a comprehensive guide to the political left," and has said so, explaining why quite lucidly on his own blog (highly recommended). But DH isn't just talking about Berube: he believes he knows the minds of the rest of us, too.
Take this comment, for example:
On the other hand leftists don't want to be identified as "left" because they don't want to be burdened with the history of their deplorable political "mistakes." In particular, they don't want to be accountable for their support for (or appeasement of) our Communist enemies during the Cold War.
Now, I lived in Thailand in 1964 and 1965. I was a kid. My school doubled in size over the Christmas holidays because of the evacuation of civilian Americans from Vietnam. While the US government was claiming no bombing missions originated in Thailand, the Air Force pilots living in my apartment building were disappearing for a few days each week to the north of the country. I was proud of my father when we returned to the US: he was one of the first protesters against the war, participating in silent vigils against the unneeded killings our government was perpetrating. Soon, I was joining him in the protests (though not so silently).
Because of our proximity during the first major escalation, we learned a great deal about what was going on in Vietnam, much of it from people who had lived there. We knew right away how much our government was lying and how little the people of Vietnam supported us. We knew this was no war for "freedom" for anyone and we hated being associated with it due to our nationality.
One of the most important things we learned was that the US/Russia stand-off was not central to much of what was going on in the world. The conflict in Vietnam concerned a great deal more than simply keeping communism from spreading. Only myopic Americans who refused to see the world as anything but "good" (the US) versus "bad" (the Soviet Union) thought otherwise. We got ourselves into a conflict that was, frankly, none of our concern through our arrogance, our belief that everything came down to that one dichotomy. It wasn't "support for (or appeasement of) our Communist enemies" that we were involved in, but support for human rights and self-determination. It's simplistic to think otherwise—for the world is far more complex than the Cold Warriors ever imagined. I remain quite proud of my opposition to that war and to the Cold War mentality of the time. We did much to stave off the belligerent nature of much US foreign policy, allowing the Soviet Union space to collapse on its own.
Horowitz, on the other hand, still seems to want to make the American left responsible for all the ills of the world:
When Berube and his friends opposed America's Cold War with the Communist enemy, the consequences of their actions were dire indeed. In Cambodia and South Vietnam, Berube and his fellow leftists—including John Kerry and Ted Kennedy—are accountable for making it possible for the Communists to slaughter two-and-a-half million innocent people after U.S. aid was cut at their insistence. But what if they had been successful in other campaigns? If the nuclear freeze movement had prevailed over its conservative opposition it is very possible that a billion people in the Soviet bloc would still be under the Communist heel. If leftists like Berube and Kennedy, had been successful in obstructing the effort of America and Britain to liberate Iraq, Saddam Hussein would still be in power, Iraqis would still be disappearing into plastic shredders and mass graves, there would be no democracy movement in the Middle East, and the world in general would be a more dangerous place.
Here again is that reductive, limited thinking. Pol Pot and his minions are responsible for the slaughter in Cambodia. To place responsibility elsewhere is akin to blaming 9/11 on Israel. DH's argument, also, tries to link the slaughter to a cut in aid, forgetting that the fact of the aid itself set the stage for what later happened. Cutting it, at that point, is not what brough the Khmer Rouge to power.
Here again is that arrogance, that it is "our" (US) actions that have impact upon the world. Nothing else matters. A nuclear freeze would have allowed the Soviet Union to continue? Come on! The reasons for the collapse of the USSR were myriad; the tottering regime was going down no matter what "we" did.
Here again is that assumption of US importance. Though Saddam Hussein is no longer in power, life in Iraq has not improved—and many more Iraqis have died. To call this the spark for a Middle East democracy movement is ludicrous on the face of it. To be inspired to fight for democracy, something inspiring has to be taking place. Nothing the US has done in Iraq is inspiring. What shining example has been established? Whose lives have gotten so much better?
Here again is hubris, thinking that slapping down someone weaker than "we" are, someone who posed no threat to "us," makes the world a safer place. No. The people who actually did attack the US are as strong as ever, and have new recruiting and proving grounds. The international community has been weakened, making it less likely that a cooperative movement against any real arising threat could be established.
At the start of his article, DH writes:
In a recent attack on our site (on March 2) he [Berube] reveals once again the intellectual laziness of the left when it comes to engaging opponents in, well, intellectual argument. On the other hand, tenured radicals like Berube have lifetime jobs and captive audiences, so what is their incentive not to be lazy?
The implication here is that somehow, tenure just drops on people—a gift from the gods. Clearly, DH has no idea what it means to achieve that status. I can't speak for Berube, but I suspect he is as active as I am. Now, I don't have tenure; I teach on a year-to-year contract. Of course, I would love to have tenure and hope to earn it—but having it would not slow me down (I want it because I crave the stability it represents, not so I won't have to work). In my quest for tenure, I wrote a book last year that is now in print, and did it without the help of a staff like the one DH has at his disposal. In other words, I did all the work myself. Right now, I am working on two other books (not to mention the articles I have completed or am writing). Oh, and in addition to research, writing, and teaching full-time, I run my gift-store/gallery and am renovating a house (by myself). I certainly don't have time or inclination to sit around the house and do nothing—and neither does Berube, I am sure.
Horowitz believes he is reaching into the minds of the left, but they are minds (and lives) whose workings he cannot comprehend. Lives involved in a complex "real" world of work and thought far beyond the simplicities DH's blinders allow.

Interior Design Singapore Tips
Welcome to Interior Design Singapore Recommendations where we will be sharing with you useful tips on Singapore Interior Design!
Are you always falling in love with those perfectly arranged and decorated homes we all have a chance to see everywhere in the media? From times to times you want to live in those dream houses yourself. Believe it or not, but it's not that hard to get – all you need is a good Singapore interior designer to help you put your dreams and ideas to life. Interior design is becoming more and more important part when you are choosing your home because there are a lot of studies showing that the way of how the design of the interior design affects your overall feelings. Interior design Singapore can be a real challenge because you have to make sure you get the best interior design plans and also the best interior design agency to design your dream home!
Whether you are planning to turn a small portion of your home to the office either for running a business or for simply paying bills, you deserve to have more than a desk or an extra chair in the space. A home office should attract others with its design, also it should provide comfort to those who would be working in that space. If you are living in Singapore, you must hire a professional help to convert your space into a home office. There are expert interior design professionals who can provide such service in an affordable way. Here are given 15 Singapore Interior Design tips for creating a practical work space, which will also make it look charming.
Interior Design Singapore 15 Useful Tips
Here are some reasons why you should get your interior design Singapore be done by professionals:
- They know people and have access to resources you don't have. A lot of things happen only in a closed circle, and it's the same thing with designers – if you are not a designer you have less chances of getting that particular material you want because you simply don't know where to search for it. An interior designer knows a lot of people, knows where to find fabrics and everything you need.
- If you are renovating they can appoint you to some qualified workers. Getting qualified workers can be a real pain, if you have never done that. Interior designers are, as said, men with connections and they can help you even with that.
- If you want a magazine like decorated home, interior designers are the way to go. They can advise you and probably prevent you from overpaying a certain item or to stop you if your shopping spree becomes a bit full of cliché fabrics or furniture, and that is what they know the best – the difference between a stylish home and home full of catchy fabrics.
- If you want a home with fabrics and furniture designed only for you, don't hesitate and get your interior design in Singapore be full of unique furniture and done by a professional. In lots of cases we think that we can do our own interior design by simply watching how they did it in the magazines. What we don't know is that in lots of cases all those pieces of fabrics and furniture are custom made and that we can hardly get it anywhere. That's when you should get a designer because in many cases he is the one who can make you a custom made furniture.
- If you have a clear vision of what you want, it will also be easier for the designer to put your ideas to fabrics, furniture or whatever you have in mind. Help your designer by talking to him or her about your personality, preferences and motivations, because in many cases that can help your designer determine your personal style in case you don't have a clear vision of what you want and when talking about interior design Singapore, it can be a real challenge.
- Talking about the budget comes first! Be sure to have a clear budget and understand what are the real costs here, so talk with your designer first before putting a real budget. Sometimes he can tell you what is really necessary and what is not.
- Try to make it a bit easy, specific when presenting your ideas. Before your first meeting with a designer try to collect some samples, put your ideas on a paper because if you have a clear vision, your designer will have even clearer.
- Communication here can be at least half job successfully done. So make sure you get in touch with your designer at least on a daily basis. Interior Designer Singapore is a bit scarce occupation, so make sure you become a favorite client, and we all know that favorites get all the good fabrics.
- If you want to save money, working with a designer can actually save you money. Of course you will have to pay for a designer, but he will prevent you from making any costly mistakes because he or she is an expert in their field of work and they know all of the tips and tricks.
- If you are busy there is no best solution for you than to get your interior design in Singapore done by a professional. All of us want to do our interior design Singapore by ourselves because we think that no one can do it better than us since we all have unique ideas. We all think that we can manage everything but usually we tend to redecorate or renovate our homes for a couple of months. Professionals can do it in no time and still follow your wishes and ideas.
- Professionals are great as a third party mediators. How many times did you get in a fight with your spouse or family members about the design? Interior designers are a great help in this case because they can incorporate all of your family member's wishes. Even when two or more different parties have different styles in mind the professionals can also incorporate that.
- If you think that interior design Singapore is a piece of cake you are wrong. It can be a real challenge and a really stressful job so it's probably the best to let the professionals do it.
- Choose location carefully – you are going to spend hours in your home office, so the space shouldn't be stiff enough, once you get furnished it with sofas, chair, table and other materials. Consider the traffic flow while choosing the space in your home. If your office will work silently without any traffic, you may choose a quiet place. The private space you chose must have ample seating.
Organize horizontally and vertically – many home office's doesn't have enough space or square footage, so you must use the space efficiently. You can hang floating shelves on the wall to keep papers and office equipment's and use vertical file folders to keep important papers. You must use a nice basket to pile bills and other important papers. Wooden cube storage looks good instead of bookshelves and fix it on the wall.
- Choose accessories carefully – to enhance the comfy feeling of your home office, you may choose homey accessories such as a trendy notepad, a decorative waste basket and a pretty mug to place the pencils. You may hide bookshelves under the curtain and hang inspirational paintings on the wall. Based on your workflow you may choose accessories. You must invest in furniture which will look both beautiful and functional. The home office furniture should complement with the decor of other room too. An artistic piece or a modern metal furniture will go with a contemporary interior design of a home office.
Interior Designer Singapore Summary
Now that you have good reasons listed, you shouldn't wait too long or plan it by yourself because Singapore interior designers know the best and all of them are the best in their job. It's your ideas they are doing with and putting them to fabrics and furniture. Remodel your house by your ideas and inspirations – let the designer listen to your ideas, put them on a paper and let the magic happen. You will enjoy your Interior Design Singapore process!

This breaded pork chops recipe, aka Schweinekotelett, is among the tastiest and quickest dinner meal ideas you can have. This is a simple one, one that always turns out juicy and delicious! Once you learn the basics of how to cook pork chops, there are so many little variations that you can make. Just adding extra herbs and spices can make a dramatic change.
I'll often make an extra chop or two. They taste so great cold and sliced in a sandwich for lunch the next day. Wunderbar!
Pork schnitzel recipes are similar to breaded pork chops, because schnitzel are just thin chops. In fact, as you look at the schnitzel recipe, you'll realize just how similar this is to these breaded pork chops.
The main difference is the thickness. I love using a really thick chop ... cooking a bit longer ... and it's really juicy and delectable!
The only problem with making schnitzel is that they are quite large and it is difficult to cook many at once. How to cook pork chops enough for our family of five? I used the above recipe ... and, I had a nice big frying pan!
Using thicker chops means I can put more of them in the pan. Served with boiled potatoes and red cabbage as above, was (and still is) one of my German meat recipes I served often.
OR, serve them with a marvellous mushroom sauce ... get the recipe here.
Breaded Pork Chop Recipes
There really are many ways to make pork chops. Breading them is an ideal way to get them to stay juicy and bring interesting flavours into them.
The recipe, above, really is my fall-back recipe. When I don't know what to make, I make them this way :)

Well, if I can do it, anyone can.
I've even figured out how I can help you.
I've teamed up with my own business coach, Renae Christine (yes, do google her!), to bring you this free masterclass. After you watch it, ask me any questions and I'll gladly answer them.
Don't hesitate. I'm not sure how long Renae will keep this free masterclass available.
PS: Yes, Renae really is as amazing as all the reviews say.
PPS: Yes, the course is for handmade items, but I've used it successfully for my cookbooks. I know others are using her methods for services, direct sales ,and even a local ice cream bar & grill that's constantly selling out. You've nothing to lose by taking a look.

Yes, exactly. Fabio Vitali writes: > In fact, that was my point: context-independence of type is more a political > issue than a technical one, and it is definitely not a design issue. I really don't think it's fair to say that. I can't speak for others who were involved or for the working group as a whole, but I think it's fair to say that I was among those who played a significant role in suggesting [1,2] the "Tag/Type" distinction, and what's now known as Complex Types. I can tell you that the ability to use them in the manner that XQuery later chose to do was intentional on my part in proposing them. I was not otherwise involved in the design of XQuery, but as Michael Kay says, they seem to have used context-independent types in exactly the manner that I (and I presume others, though perhaps not all others in the working group) expected when the design for types was proposed. So, as Michael says, while there are other technically plausible ways that both XML Schema and/or XQuery could have been designed, I certainly don't think that makes the decisions political. As far as I'm concerned, technical trade-offs were made in the design of Schema. We bit off the conceptual and design complexity of separating complex types from element declarations, and we built a lot of machinery to make them first class abstractions and sufficiently context-insensitive to use in the manner that Michael describes. The XQuery working group decided to use the abstraction in what I consider the manner intended: I.e. to ensure that one has assignment compatibility between two "element"s that have the same complex types, and thus to be able to use schema types for functions, etc. Surely there are trade0offs embodied in those choices. I don't think it's fair to imply that those who made the trade-offs did so for primarily political reasons. The costs and benefits are primarily technical, IMO. Furthermore, as Michael also says: changing this now would be far more disruptive than changing it before XQuery had come to depend on it. I strongly favor keeping our types context-independent, to the degree that they currently are. NoahReceived on Monday, 21 January 2008 19:53:27 UTC

Brock Turner's prison stay may have lasted only three months, but this textbook is forever.
If you need a refresher, Turner was the so-called Stanford Rapist caught sexually assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster on campus. The trial followed a sadly predictable pattern: Turner blamed his actions on Stanford's "party culture," and his father, in a letter to the judge pleading for leniency, lamented that his son was once "excited to buy a big ribeye steak…. Now he barely consumes any food and eats only to exist."
Turner was eventually cleared of rape charges but was convicted on three other felony charges and is now a registered sex offender. He was sentenced to just six months in prison—and was released after three.
Enter two textbook authors, University of Colorado-Denver School of Public Affairs professors Mary Dodge and Callie Rennison. They're making sure Turner eternally pays for his crimes by making his face the very definition of "rape."
"He may have been able to get out of prison time but in my Criminal Justice 101 textbook, Brock Turner is the definition of rape, so he's got that going for him," Hannah Kendall Shuman, a freshman at Washington State University, wrote in the caption of her now-viral photo of the textbook.
Shuman told HuffPost she found the image inside the pages of her textbook, Introduction to Criminal Justice: Systems, Diversity, and Change 2nd Edition.
As page 20 of the textbook reads:
While the book simply gives an overview of the case, it does throw in the following conversation starter in the caption under Turner's photo: "Some are shocked at how short this sentence is. Others who are more familiar with the way sexual violence has been handled in the criminal justice system are shocked that he was found guilty and served time at all. What do you think?"
For Shuman, a student in Criminal Justice 101, the answer is clear.
"I didn't think anyone of status or wealth would ever want to bring him up again. It seemed like America just wanted to act as if he never happened," she told HuffPost. "I'm glad his name is resurfacing."
The authors have yet to publicly comment on the textbook's new Internet fame (Glamour has reached out for comment). Rennison previously spoke about the importance of representation in textbooks when she was awarded the Bonnie S. Fisher Victimology Career Award from the American Society of Criminology in 2016. Then Rennison said, "Existing criminal justice books have focused on three elements: cops, courts, and corrections. They speak little about victims, reflecting how they have effectively been in the shadows of our criminal justice system."

New Integrated Care Wave Taking Collaboratives in a New Direction
The APCC Program Integrated Care Wave will provide general practices and health services in the Townsville area the opportunity to collaborate with the Townsville Hospital and Health Service, Ambulatory Service and pharmacies to improve health outcomes and decrease emergency department presentations for people with high care needs.
GPs, hospital clinicians, private specialists and hospital admin staff will work together to build 'Integrated Care teams' around a nominated cohort of high care need patients. They will work together over an intensive 6 month period on a 'narrow and deep' model.
The project will aim to build a culture of teamwork around each patient. This will involve improved clinical communication and care coordination between all care providers.
Learning Workshop 1 was held on 2nd December in Townsville.
Visit the Integrated Care Wave Page on the IF website for more information.
Primary Care Nurses and Managers take the lead in new APCC Waves
The Practice Manager Lead Wave and the Practice Nurse Lead Wave will focus on training primary care practice nurses and managers in quality improvement (QI) methods and improving chronic disease care.
Supported by a GP in their practice, participating practice managers and practice nurses will be empowered to take on a leadership role in the implementation of QI work within their health services.
IF has worked closely with the Australian Association of Practice Managers and the Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association in the development of these Waves and received over 200 expressions of interest for these Waves, demonstrating a strong level of support for QI initiatives for frontline staff in primary health care. Eighty seven general practices and health services have now been recruited across these two Waves and representatives will attend a series of workshops to learn how to lead the implementation of QI and improve chronic disease care in their practices and health services.
The Practice Manager Lead Wave is focusing on improving the management of patients with diabetes and the Practice Nurse Lead Wave is focusing on improving the management of patients with cardiovascular disease.
For more information on these new Programs, please visit the IF website.
Medicare Local Quality Improvement Partnership Results
The Medicare Local Quality Improvement Partnership is an innovative program that engaged 24 Medicare Locals and 119 general practices and health services to implement localised quality Improvement initiatives. This 12 month program focused on improving chronic disease management and/or prevention in the topic areas of Cardiovascular Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Diabetes.
13 of the 24 Medicare Locals selected COPD as their topic area based on local population health data and Medicare Local strategic objectives. Five of these Medicare Locals recruited pharmacies as well as general practices & other health services to improve the care of patients diagnosed with COPD and implement strategies to improve screening for COPD.
Analysis of the data indicates that there were a total of 378 episodes of screening for COPD and 108 referrals to general practice for follow-up, as seen in the graphs below:
The aim of the Medicare Local Quality Improvement Partnership was to 'achieve better outcomes in local primary health care through the use of quality improvement'. Increasing the capabilities of Support Organisation staff to design and implement quality improvement initiatives is considered key to achieving this aim. Accordingly, a central Wave measure was participants' confidence and competence with developing and implementing a quality improvement activity in a Medicare Local environment.
IF utilised the Quality Improvement Knowledge Assessment Tool (QIKAT), which is a validated tool that has been adapted for application to this project. The tool was administered at the start of the first workshop to obtain a pre-workshop assessment score, and at the conclusion of the final workshop to obtain a post-workshop assessment score. IF set the aim of achieving a 20% improvement, or exceeding an 80% rating in the competence and confidence scores of participants.
The overall achievement was a 14 % increase in overall confidence, and a 41% increase in overall competence, as shown in the graph below (which is based on 48 completed pre and post-assessments).
IF would like to thank participating Medicare Locals, general practices and health services for their dedication and support to this program over the past 12 months in achieving these outstanding results.
New Practice Dashboard available now!
The Improvement Foundation is excited to announce a new and improved practice dashboard on qiConnect, designed to assist practices with their quality improvement (QI) work.
This new dashboard is free for practices and health services to use and provides a wider range of functionality to help focus improvement work in chronic diseases.
New functionality on the dashboard includes:
Improved gauges to display practice metrics
The dashboard now has a gauge style panel which can be customised to select and save your chosen indicator sets. The gauges display practice performance alongside the average of the qiCommunity, made up of almost 800 practices across Australia.
Links to all active programs that practice users are enrolled in through the Improvement Foundation, such as APCC waves.
A summary of data submissions for tracking data workflows
'Currently Tracking'
A single indicator gauge that is decided upon by the IF Faculty to be a measure of focus for a period of time. This may link with national and international health events, e.g. diabetes week.
Recognition and reward points
A brand new feature for the qiCommunity is the implementation of a points system to demonstrate engagement in QI activities. Points are allocated to an individual user who can achieve status levels, depending on the number of points they have accumulated. Some points will be allocated to all users in a practice for the practice's involvement in submission of data, completion of an APCC wave etc.
Push Reports
Automatically generated reports can now be configured so that the system will send an email to the practice users, with specified indicator graphs.
This development work provides members of the qiCommunity with a snapshot view of how their practice is performing at a point and over a period of time.
Improving CKD in Aboriginal patients
Bugalwena General Practice is a multi-disciplinary practice located in South Tweed Heads run by North Coast Medicare Local (NCML). It provides bulk-billing services for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and their immediate families.
Wishing to improve the care of patients with CKD, Bugalwena set a goal to increase the identification of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients with potential CKD, thereby enabling the provision of specific management plans and team care arrangements for these patients.
NCML organised a CKD workshop for the team, and Graeme Turner (CKD Nurse Practitioner from Northern NSW Local Health District) gave a presentation on how to improve management of CKD and how to undertake searches through the database.
Bugalwena's practice manager Jacqueline Moody said Graham's presentation was really worthwhile as it helped staff to focus on what small steps could be taken to make a difference.
To achieve their objective, the team undertook the following steps:
1. They focused on improving their CKD register by cleaning data to ensure the information was correct. They also updated their processes to ensure the data is kept up to date.
2. The practice manager used the Pen Clinical Audit Tool to create a list of patients on the database at risk of having CKD.
3. A notification was entered into the clinical software so that when a patient at risk of CKD saw their GP, the GP was reminded to code CKD correctly
4. A urinary albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) check was implemented as part of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health checks and GP Management Plans. This action increased the number of patients on the CKD register.
5. The practice manager sent lists of Bugalwena's patients at risk of having CKD to pathology companies to see if they had had estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) or urinary ACR tests done at other general practices. Relevant results were then downloaded into Bugalwena's software. This also increased the number of patients on the CKD register, saving time and money by preventing duplication of pathology tests.
The graph below shows the increase in patients on the CKD register at Bugalwena General Practice over the five months of data submission (at the point that this graph was created, the data submission for the period of September had not been opened).
This project increased the number of Bugalwena patients on the CKD register from 17 patients in April 2014 to 77 in August 2014. Specific management plans and team care arrangements were implemented for 50 new patients.
Bugalwena General Practice was engaged in this quality improvement initiative through NCML's participation in the APCC Program's Medicare Local Quality Improvement Partnership program.
The Improvement Foundation's Closing the Gap: Measure and Act project invites general practices around Australia to collect, submit and measure data on key indicators that could lead to better health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Find out more about IF's Closing the Gap: Measure and Act initiative at: improve.org.au/projects/ctg to find out more or register.
APCC Diabetes Prevention and Management Wave Results
Formal participation in APCC Diabetes Prevention and Management Wave (Wave 9) concluded at the end of October 2014. The Wave was delivered over an 18 month period, engaging 37 general practices and health services working towards improving health outcomes for more than 11,800 Australians living with diabetes and reducing the risk of developing diabetes for many more.
Key outcomes for this Wave include:
- 925 more patients with diabetes now have their blood sugar recorded as being within recommended limits
- 2,332 more patients with diabetes now have their blood sugar recorded
- 21,815 Annual Cycle of Care elements have been recorded for patients with diabetes
- 6,147 Diabetes Risk Assessments were administered and recorded
The IF would like to thank Medicare Locals and participating general practices and health services for their dedication and support over the past 18 months, enabling the Wave to achieve outstanding results.
2014 qiCommunity Webinars
2014 has been an exciting year for the qiCommunity with its membership growing to almost 2,000 people, all working in and around primary healthcare. This community has shared ideas and generated discussion about quality improvement in various ways, including free monthly qiCommunity webinars and discussion forum, housed on qiConnect.
Since January 2014, ten qiCommunity webinars hosted by Dr Tony Lembke have been undertaken, with over 570 qiCommunity members attending. Guest presenters have ranged from international quality improvement experts through to Australian health professionals who are making practical improvements within their own organisations.
We have been very privileged to have two prominent international speakers present for the qiCommunity during 2014, Dr John Øvretveit from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and Dr Doug Eby from the Southcentral Foundation in Alaska.
qiCommunity webinar topics ranged from 'Appointment Systems 101', and 'Appointment Systems 201' with Dr Andrew Knight, to 'Behavioural Interviewing and Change Modification' with Mr David Menzies and Ms Roslyn Rolleston's two part 'Care Planning Master Class' webinar.
IF Quality Improvement Award Winners, Mr Prashiba Thavarajadeva and Mr Brett McPherson also presented informative sessions on the quality improvement work they have undertaken at their practices.
If you missed a webinar or would like to re-watch one, all webinars can be accessed via the Resources page of qiConnect.
We would like to thank you for your participation and involvement in 2014 and look forward to recommencing these free webinars in February 2015.

IF Annual Report – celebrating achievements.
As we celebrate the end of what has been a very successful year, with significant results achieved across on a number of projects and programs, it is important to reflect on why we have worked so hard to achieve these results.
The Improvement Foundation (IF) exists to inspire people to think differently about the way services are provided, and to empower them to make changes to the quality of the services delivered, ultimately improving outcomes for their communities. Some of our services include:
- Australian Primary Care Collaboratives Program. To date we have helped more than 1,800 general practices and health services improve the health outcomes of hundreds of thousands of patients.
- qiCommunity. The qiCommunity provides a protected online environment for its membership of more than 1,590 health professionals to engage in conversations about how we can improve health systems and patient outcomes.
- Leading technology. Receipt of an iAward, a new eHealth indicators dashboard in qiConnect, and 49 custom built quality improvement sites in qiConnect are just some of the reasons our reputation as a leading provider of data-driven quality improvement solutions continues to grow.
- OCHREStreams. We developed and implemented Australia's first fully electronic reporting system for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Services. We continue to work to improve and extend the electronic reporting capabilities to reduce the reporting burden for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Services.
Our 2014 Annual Report summarises these successes and more. This year has built on success from previous years and we continue to build essential knowledge, infrastructure and relationships to support the national refocus of the health system on primary care, and on our role as leaders in quality improvement in primary health care.
We are excited about the future of our organisation and the possibilities ahead. As you read our Annual Report, please consider areas where you might want to work together with IF to make a real difference within your own organisation and the communities you serve.
We thank you for your support, and wish you the compliments of the season.

Do humans need dairy?
When it comes to health, the bottom line is we probably don't need dairy in our diets – as adults – but milk and dairy foods are convenient and good value and provide lots of essential nutrients which are trickier to source from other foods. Where milk drinking is the cultural norm we have adapted to tolerate it very well and it can be very nutritious.

Jennifer Lopez Is Sultry and Sexy in 'First Love' Video
What do you get when you put Jennifer Lopez in desolate desert? One sizzling-hot video! J.Lo is sultry and sexy in her clip for the Max Martin-produced ballad, 'First Love.'
Directed by Anthony Mandler, the video features Lopez in the Mojave desert searching for her true love. Then comes her hunky love interest, British model David Gandy, coming to her aid on a motorcycle no less.
We then see the two canoodling in the hot desert, hugging and kissing on each other. The 44-year-old pop star also shows off her bodacious curves in an all-white bodysuit and black dress. There's also some side-to-side boob action from Jenny, as well. Don't blink or else you might miss it.
We must also mention that J.Lo's visual gives off an aura of classic '90s Herb Ritts videos like Janet Jackson's 'Love Will Never Do Without You' and Lopez's own sepia-colored clip 'Ain't It Funny.'
Overall, the video looks amazing and Lopez is stunning as ever -- even in the hot desert.
Jennifer Lopez's 10th album, 'A.K.A.,' will arrive in stores on June 17. The collection features guest appearances from Nas, Iggy Azalea, T.I., Pitbull and Rick Ross.

Politics in the Federation of Philosophical Along-Getting, or the SJK (Scia Je Kooperaciojn in the neutral language Guessperanto), is made complicated by the fact that the "along-getting" only occurs because there tends to be a party for every issue and a place in the government for every party. This is in part due to the intenesely complicated instant-runoff voting (IRV) system in place, in which candidates are compared by the number of topological defects in each voting slip that occur in their favor relative to the full rotation group of the other candidates, according to the official government website. Each year, therefore, a team of mathematicians is elected to count the votes for the next year by the voters from the previous year, a system that is clearly absolutely free of any kind of corruption.
In spite of all the disagreement, the government is quite close-knit on almost every "closed" issue, which from an outside perspective is almost every issue. This is because in spite of all their arguing and mutual hatred within members of the federation, they all pretty much believe the exact same thing. If there were any minority, it would be a classic case of tyranny of the majority.
This election season (called every bilunar eclipse, roughly every six years), however, change it is a-happening. Over the past decade, the elves, a racial group consisting of very very sexy people, have been immigrating en masse to nations around and including the SJK, enticed by the very very sexy economic opportunities. The native humans and orcs, the native racial groups of the SJK (further subdivided by member state, such that each state calls itself its own race), realizing how ugly they were compared to the elves, obviously did not like this. To further complicate matters, the elves brought with them radical political ideas, such as raising the energy tax by 3% instead of 2.5% and sharing subsidies between the majority Zoroastrian and Wiccan churches and the elves' native Zen-Shinto church.
Political Philosophies
Perhaps more importantly, however, the elves and a growing native progressive movement stand to tip the balance of the current political status quo by voting for the PTH (Partico TrancHjumana), the Transhumanist party, which seeks to better mankind by turning them into sexy time-travelling robots. One policy that many have found particularly controversial is the so-called Progressive policy, which proposes that the entire nation simultaneously time-travel 20 years into the future to "get back to modernity", however that works.
The countermovement to the elves and progressives is the POS (Partico Objxeksxunabela), the Objective-Social (Objekshunable) party, which seeks to better mankind by leaving them alone, then time-travelling the economy 100 years into the past by returning to railroads and the platinum-standard.
And there are several moderate parties: the ATT or Anti-Time-Travel party is a one-issue party seeking to outlaw time travel of any economic system or population.
The PO, or Objectivist party, is slightly less nuts than the POS in that they support progressive politics but more nuts in that they still want to time-travel the economy back 100 years and the sense of decency back 1000 years.
The Greens, who want to make all elves wear green so that the orcs don't stand out so ugly-ly.
The Reds, who want to make the Zoroastrian and Wiccan churches the official churches of the country, and subsidize the economy under such churches (basically Social Neocons).
And the Reform Party, a fraternity joke gone awry in which no one can predict where a candidate will stand and what he will say. This appeals to many voters.
Current Election
The executive election is perhaps the most important. Three executives sit in the High Council, which makes all executive decisions outside the legislature by majority vote. All three seats are up for reelection this season, and the results may tear the country apart as we know it. The legislative seats and state executive seats are also quite critical, in which for the first time an elf might be elected to the legislature.
