Back in 1997, Clark County added a staggering 77,336 people to its population, with 38 percent of the newcomers hailing from California. More than a quarter century later, the same story is still playing out, albeit on a slightly smaller scale. Clark County will likely never see another population boom like 1997 again, but it has had substantial waves of people moving in since, including significant bumps in 2004, 2009 and finally in 2019, with California migrants consistently driving the growth.

Nearly seven in 10 married Korean women have experienced career interruptions due to pregnancy and child-rearing, data showed Tuesday. The number of married women aged 15-54 who left the workforce reached 1.22 million in the first half of this year, according to the data from Statistics Korea. This year's figure represents a decrease of 133,000, partly due to a reduction in the total married female population within the age group, the agency said.

Although previous research has explored the relationship between specific nutrients and insomnia, comprehensive analyses of daily eating patterns of macro- and micronutrients remain limited. Diets high in sodium, low in potassium, or both, have been associated with altered nocturnal blood pressure decrease (when blood pressure does not decline as much as it normally does at night).
