Meet the Author


I’m Jeanay Jensen and this is my health and intercultural news blog.
Here I plan to talk about news articles that take you to another place and into the story of another person. Or stories that teach you more about the world we live in and what new studies have found about how our minds and bodies work. This sight is about health and culture, be it our own or others.
"There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.”

Cat Hats Fruit Style: Japanese Gacha Machines

Image
Gachapon game machines are all over Japans city shopping districts. Americans may better recognize and relate these to gumball machines. With gumball machines users put in a quarter, crank it, and then a gum ball clunks to the bottom and bam they've got chewy flavor that keeps giving for about two minutes. T he Japanese Gachapon game machines are far more sophisticated than gumball machines. Instead of gum users get little toy prizes, and not the cheep kind either. Well-made figurines, key chains, and tinkery toys amongst many other prizes are offered. Like with gumball machines there are several prize options and it is always a surprise as to which one you'll end up with. Prices can range between 100 yen and 500 yen, which is the basic equivalent of $1 to $5 said an article in All About Japan .  Youtubers and husband and wife, Rachel and June from the channel Rachel and Jun and their other channel Rachel & Jun's Adventures! decided to take a gander at...

http://ninjajournalist.com/science/plastic-and-save-the-environment/ Did you know plastic is digestible? No, not to humans of course, unless you were thinking of Britain's algae water bottles and Indonesia's yucca root plastic bags, those are very edible. Science, or rather scientist Frederica Bertocchini a biomedical researcher, discovered a wax worm that can digest plastic. AJ+ global news team interviewed Bertoccini in the following video and got to hear the tail of how she discovered waxworms divine power on a whim. Waxworms act as a parasite in beehives, eating the honeycomb or rather raw wax material beehives, and laying waste. When Bertocchini found these worms in her home beehives she of course cleaned them out and set them aside in some plastic bags to dispose of later. Only to learn later that the waxworms were a bunch of escape artists and had eaten there way out of the plastic bags. Bertocchini and her colleagues began to study the worms and found tha...

If This Bill Passes, Will Pure Breeds Cease To Exist in California?

"Yeah, she's a rescue" has been a common brag of new pet owners within recent years. People who acquire their family pets from shelters and rescues are often looked at with admiration, and approval with a big thumbs up. And rightly so, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says "each year, approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized (670,000 dogs and 860,000 cats)."  Rescuing these animals from death and giving them a good home is a commendable thing. But soon it may become the bragging right of every new pet owner in California...and then it won't really be much of a bragging right at all, just an average right.  The Assembly Bill 485, the Pet Rescue and Adoption Act, has been approved by the Senate and sent to Governor Jerry Brown to be vetoed or signed by October 15, said the Orange County Register . The bill would make it illegal for pet stores to sell any dogs, cats, or rabbits that are not from shelte...
