Cowboys in the Old West worked up voracious appetites. It took a lot of calories to sustain their long days of grueling physical labor, especially on long cattle drives. So it's no wonder that cowboys not only relished their meals at the end of a day, but treated them as nearly sacred.
With the Republican National Committee doubling down on passing anti-abortion legislation in states and at the federal level, could the future success of Republican candidates in the battleground state of Nevada be at risk?

“It started in sixth grade: First, it was a stomachache. Then it was problems with other kids.” That’s how a New York City mom (who requested anonymity) recalls the start of her daughter’s descent in what’s known among mental health professionals as “school refusal” — or “anxiety-based school absenteeism,” according to the country’s pioneering expert in the field, psychologist Christopher Kearney.
Nevada U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen may be among the most vulnerable senators seeking reelection in what’s shaping up to be an uber-competitive national campaign cycle ahead of next year’s presidential election, according to political forecasts released this month.
Every February, we celebrate the culture and contributions of Black people in America by attending parties and parades, shopping from Black-owned brands, and learning about Black stories through books movies, and documentaries. Since the 1600s, Black Americans have inspired several generations after undergoing tumultuous journeys and wrongfully facing injustice and racism. It's important to educate ourselves and understand the complex history of Black Americans year-round, but especially during Black History Month, when we honor their legacy as a nation.
Anna Bailey, the first Black showgirl on the Las Vegas strip, was in huge demand in the 1960s, but she couldn't even walk in the front doors at some of the same casinos where she performed. The Moulin Rouge, which opened in May of 1955, was the first casino Bailey worked when she moved to Las Vegas from New York. It was built in the majority Black West Side of Las Vegas so the hotel and casino could be integrated and it was the first racially integrated casino-resort in the country.

Depression is a mental thief that can steal joy, hope, motivation and, in worst-case scenarios, the will to live. For decades, doctors and pharmaceutical companies have implicated serotonin deficiency as depression's primary cause, pushing serotonin-modulating medications as a first-line treatment. And yet the evidence in support of the so-called serotonin hypothesis—or the efficacy of serotonin-modulating drugs—is paltry, at best.
Elise, 25, and AnDre, 28, met in 2011 when they were in high school together in San Antonio, Texas, where they still live today. Elise and AnDre have been together ever since. Their relationship was long-distance for years because AnDre went to college before Elise. They stayed together as Elise became an account executive at Texas Weddings and AnDre became a security officer. Because she works in the industry, it was important to Elise that her and AnDre's wedding felt like them instead of like every other wedding she'd ever been to or worked on.
A mental health resource born in the pandemic is on a mission to help those with what's believed to be an undiagnosed disorder.
If there’s a blueprint to compromise in the upcoming session of the Nevada Legislature, lawmakers simply need to look at Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval’s eight-year tenure leading Nevada from 2011 to 2019.
