Seizures are far more common than most people realize. Epilepsy affects about one percent of the population, making it one of the most prevalent neurological disorders worldwide. Seizures can appear at any moment in life, arising from genetic conditions, traumatic brain injuries, infections, metabolic disorders, or sometimes even no identifiable cause at all.

Some of the most significant advancements in the hospitality industry are being developed at "Black Fire," a unique facility in Las Vegas that many may not know about. Part of UNLV's Office of Economic Development, Black Fire is a micro-resort located on the fourth floor of a building at the Harry Reid Research and Technology Park. It serves as a testing ground for innovations that could transform the hospitality sector.

The thieves who stole some of France’s crown jewels from the Louvre last month while dressed as maintenance workers may have been a shock to some, but for the Mob Museum’s Claire White, the brazen tactics utilized in the heist were nothing new.

In Illinois, the Chicago Teachers Union won a contract with the city’s schools to add solar panels on some buildings and clean energy career pathways for students, among other actions. In Minnesota, the Minneapolis Federation of Educators demanded that the district create a task force on environmental issues and provide free metro passes for students. And in California, the Los Angeles teachers union’s demands include electrifying the district’s bus fleet and providing electric vehicle charging stations at all schools.

Three Square Food Bank, in collaboration with UNLV, is stepping up its efforts to provide emergency food assistance to the community on Saturday. The initiative aims to serve up to 1,000 local households on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Community members received a 60-pound box of shelf-stable items and fresh produce through convenient drive-thru lines. UNLV President Chris Heavey and Vice President of Government and Community Engagement Constance Brooks joined forces with hundreds of volunteers to assist the community during a critical time.

Like most readers of the Review-Journal, I have closely followed the legislative debate over the past couple of years associated with the expansion of a film tax credit program in Nevada. Of course, as the president of UNLV, I have a vested interest in learning if and how it would directly aid our students, serve to lift up our campus community and contribute to the overall economic health and stability of our workforce.

Of the many nightlife options on the Las Vegas Strip, The Pinky Ring is unique. It’s not a concert venue per se, but once you’re inside, it’s impossible not to gravitate toward the stage, which floats at the edge of a cozy, rotunda-like room. A six-piece band supplies a steady stream of funk and R&B hits from the 1980s and ’90s, and the warm, pulsating sound has the exhilarating effect of a tabernacle choir. Everyone wears the dazed, relieved look of someone who’s stumbled into a party they actually want to be at.
