Researchers from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) have discovered interesting facts about how our brain perceives the flow of time. People often think that our brains are synchronized with artificial clocks on electronic devices, counting time in very precise, minute intervals. However, a study published this month in the journal Current Biology shows that our brains do not function that way.

Former President Donald Trump took the stage Thursday during the Republican National Convention, and for 26 minutes of his 92-minute-long speech, he spoke of uniting our deeply divided country. But while some pundits have argued his speech showed he is more subdued and humble in the wake of last week's failed assassination attempt against him, others aren't so sure he's changed at all. And some political scientists and experts on authoritarianism warn Trump could become even more radical after his near-death experience.

Hey, you’ve got to hide your tapes away. For a time in the mid-2000s, The Mirage housed the most famous music catalog in history and hardly anyone knew. The Beatles’ master tapes were reportedly kept in tightly guarded vault backstage at Love Theater, during the early days of “Love” at the hotel. Word of the history of these tapes made the rounds as the show closed July 7, and the hotel itself shut down July 17. Cirque PR rep Ann Paladie has not verified the history of the tapes related to the production.

A recent rat-brain study offers insight into how the brain tells time, and its lead researcher believes the findings have practical applications for how we can cope with unpleasant things in life, or make the most of a good time.

Desert summers are becoming more severe, and Las Vegas' urban planning isn't doing it any favors. The expansion of the valley means that the heat is not felt equally in all neighborhoods, especially impacting neighborhoods where more Latinos and African Americans live.

When President Biden announced that he was going to deport asylum-seekers without respecting their legal right to due process because the border is too congested, many liberals and moderates cheered. They viewed this draconian measure as Biden finally reassuring the voters that he is, in fact, not “soft” on the immigrant “invasion.” And they were convinced by the president’s argument that he had no choice but to “close down” the border.
