Derealization can also occur with a number of medical or psychiatric disorders, as an effect of a substance, or it can occur without an identifiable reason. The experience of derealization is not usually distressing, but it can be. Often, derealization is fleeting, lasting for a few minutes, without frequent recurrence. However, it can recur or last for prolonged periods of time, especially when it is caused by a psychiatric or medical condition....

According to Adam Schefter’s report, the MVP candidate’s recovery timetable is 6-8 weeks. Carr, 25, sustained the injury to his tibia in Saturday’s 33-25 victory over the Colts. The Raiders (12-3) close the regular season Sunday against the Broncos, with backup Matt McGloin to get the start as Oakland tries to nail down the AFC West title and the No. 2 playoff seed in the conference.

Before the season began, FiveThirtyEight’s statistical model projected the New York Knicks as a 25-win team, with a per game point differential of -6.6. Instead, New York already has 23 wins and is on pace for about 35, with a per game point differential of -2.1. Nylon Calculus’ Nathan Walker, who consistently has some of the most accurate statistical win projections, has moved his year-end projection for the Knicks up seven wins since the start of the season....

Tuesday’s court session in Los Angeles was highlighted by a retelling by the plaintiff’s lead attorney, Waukeen McCoy, of the events he says took place in August 2013, as well as closing arguments by McCoy and Rose’s attorney Mark Baute.

The Republican governor’s case will now be heard by a panel of 15 judges on Tallahassee’s 1st District Court of Appeal, and could ultimately make it to Florida’s Supreme Court. DeSantis said during a Friday news conference that he’s against any requirements on a governmental or business level to wear masks or take other actions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. “We’ve got to protect people’s ability to live their lives,” DeSantis said....

DeSantis, during a Tuesday press conference for the signing of a bill designed to improve accountability for higher education in the state, made the comments that Florida may pursue some type of action when it comes to Musk’s attempt to buy the social media site. This comes after Musk offered to buy 100 percent of the popular platform, offering more than $40 billion. However, in response to Musk’s offer, Twitter adopted the “poison pill....

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar announced during a press conference on Monday an investigation would begin into reports that migrants living in his county, which includes San Antonio, had been “preyed upon” for “political theater.” DeSantis, a Republican, took credit last week for the surprise arrival of two planes of migrants to the affluent Massachusetts enclave. Despite accusations of human trafficking laws being violated and now a local investigation, DeSantis maintains that he wishes to help....

That’s an exaggeration. So far, there’s been no bloodshed. But Shevardnadze warned last week that the protests had brought Georgia “to the brink of civil war.” Opposition leader Mikhail Saakashvili called on all Georgians to “declare civil disobedience to the Shevardnadze regime.” The prospect of instability has rung alarm bells in the United States, which has made a major diplomatic investment in an oil pipeline from the Caspian port of Baku to the Mediterranean, running through Georgian territory....

NRTIs work by blocking an enzyme called reverse transcriptase that HIV needs to replicate. By doing so, the virus can be suppressed to undetectable levels, thereby preventing disease progression. Approved for the treatment of HIV by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2015, Descovy is used in combination with at least one other antiretroviral drug. There are no generic versions of Descovy and no liquid suspensions for children....

You got the flag one, didn’t you? But what about the other three? These are just a few of the questions people may be asked to answer if they are taking the test to become citizens of the United States. That’s a good thing. A working knowledge of the governing processes and the history of our country can be reasonably expected of those who want to share in the benefits and responsibilities of being American....

The record makes clear the fact that the start to Kizer’s NFL career was not good. But an offseason trade from the Browns to the Packers could turn things around for the 2017 second-round draft pick in a hurry. “It was super exciting,” Kizer, 22, told Sporting News after a recent Green Bay training camp practice. “Obviously a team who has consistently shown that they can develop quarterbacks, consistently shown that they can win games and that they’re going to have the best fan base you can possibly ask for and to have the opportunity to grow within that and embed myself into the community of great football....

Think Netflix meets Black cinema. That’s what prompted Spencer to launch kweliTV, a streaming service that specifically features Black independent films, documentaries, news, and other content that can’t easily be found elsewhere. For a small monthly fee, viewers can tap into Black entertainment spanning various genres, from shorts to dramas, science fiction films, and more. When someone first suggested she start a Black-focused streaming service when she couldn’t find the type of content she was seeking, Spencer said she thought they were crazy....

The first will be the option to replay portions of Desperados 3’s campaign with characters only unlockable during later chapters, allowing for a wealth of new scenarios and fun retreads.

Keselowski’s aggressive charge and contact with Jeff Gordon on a late restart turned the Chase standings upside-down. Now Keselowski and Kevin Harvick, who entered the race in deep trouble, have a shot at advancing even if they don’t win Sunday at Phoenix. And Gordon, who held the points lead last week, is clinging to fourth place by just a point, with the top four drivers advancing to the championship race at Homestead....

“We believe we can compete for the Stanley Cup,” Vigneault told reporters Thursday at the Rangers’ practice facility in suburban New York. “We’ve made some real good changes, and I’m excited,” the coached added. “We’re in a good place.” After a third straight 100-point season and being eliminated in the second round of the playoffs last spring by the Senators, the Rangers bought out the contract of 33-year-old heart-and-soul defenseman Dan Girardi and traded top center Derek Stepan and backup goalie Antti Raanta to the Coyotes....

The unquestioned leader of the Worldwide Leader didn’t study TV, journalism or communications. Instead, he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English literature from North Carolina and Columbia, respectively. And his goal was to write novels. But Skipper’s background in publishing and literature hasn’t stopped him from rising to the role of ESPN president and co-chairman of Disney Media Networks. Skipper came in at the No. 3 spot in Sporting News’ list of the 50 Most Influential People in Sports, voted on by a panel of 21 experts....

European Dead Zone: Trostland (In the Widow’s Walk lost sector) Titan: Siren’s Watch (In the Methane Flush lost sector) Nessus: Glade of Echoes (In the Carrion Pit lost sector) Io: The Rupture (Aphix Conduit lost sector) A Reddit user gives a decent amount of detail for the fourth scannable, for which the poster created a GIF that players can watch for precise instructions. Most of the scannables aren’t necessarily all that well-hidden, though, so a small amount of effort paired with these instructions should make them all easy finds....

Nevertheless, there are still plenty of Destiny players that anxiously await the return of Xur and are eager to see what exotic goodies he might have for the weekend. It’s easy to become jaded by Bungie’s game after collecting every piece of loot, but it’s important to remember that some are still in the middle of that “quest for everything.” This week, players can find Xur in The Reef, in the only spot that Bungie has cordoned off for the Agent of the Nine....
