Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

South Korea Is Cracking Down On People Who Try To Bring One Of Trader Joe’s Most Popular Items Into The Country

Several new outlets including NPR and AARP Bulletin, have reported that there may be an alternative to a colonoscopy in the prevention of colorectal cancer. Forty percent of adults between the ages of 45 and 75 who should be screened for the disease do not do so–many because they simply do not want to go through the process of a colonoscopy. I have blogged about this in the past; it is essential to get screened to catch the disease early. I have even blogged about my own experience with the regular testing.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

Ask any foodie who keeps up with the latest culinary trends and they may tell you about Kewpie mayo. This popular mayonnaise is used in a number of dishes in Japan, mostly notably egg salad sandwiches sold at 7-Eleven. While the company has been around for almost a century, it was only in the 1980's when Kewpie opened its first manufacturing plant in the U.S. Since then, the company has expanded to North America, Europe, as well as other Asian countries. But what makes this mayo so great that it's crossed borders and become a worldwide phenomenon? Aside from its myriad of flavors and choices, the popularity of Japanese food in general may have something to do with pop culture trends, including manga and anime, stirring up interest in other aspects of life in Japan. Japanese food also has a reputation for being healthy. Regardless of the reason, many are impressed by Kewpie mayo's creamy texture and flavorful taste.
