The Clark County School District class of 2024-2025 will be receiving a graduation cap in May, but that’s not the only cap the class is receiving this year. Grade point averages will also be capped for the class at a 4.95, maximizing the potential number of students in the running for valedictorian. The first class to be affected by this change was the class of 2024, who graduated earlier this year.

A recent change suggested by the Endocrine Society calls for stopping routine checks for Vitamin D and limiting Vitamin D supplementation beyond the recommended levels only to high-risk groups.

Some support these guidelines while others oppose it.

In 2002, hip-hop singer Mary J. Blige sang “Blue Suede Shoes,” a Carl Perkins song popularized by Elvis Presley, during the “Divas Live” special on cable network VH1. She later told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “I prayed about it because I know Elvis was a racist. But that was just a song VH1 asked me to sing. It meant nothing to me. I didn’t wear an Elvis flag. I didn’t represent Elvis that day.”

The potato is small enough to fit inside a person’s hand yet contains enough nutrients to whittle waistlines and lower blood sugar in adults with Type 2 diabetes. Yet, despite the fact that potatoes – particularly the skins – are packed with health-boosting nutrients, they routinely get a bad rap among dieters.

Maybe people can control time — or their perception of it, anyway. A new paper written by UNLV Professor of Psychology James Hyman and published recently in Current Biology shows that the way people experience time has less to do with the physical hands of a clock, and more to do with the number of experiences in that given period of time.

Inner speaking, inner seeing, feelings, sensory awareness, unsymbolized thinking. Do we all have the same inner experiences? And how aware are we of what we actually experience from moment to moment?
