Understanding Illness Anxiety Disorder Hypochandriasis was removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) in part because of the stigma attached to the words hypochondriasis and hypochondria. Upon hearing the word hypochondriac, there is often a false assumption that the person living with the condition is “faking it” and other harmful misconceptions that lead to the illness being dismissed or stigmatized....
The summer of 2003, as I saw it, was a honeymoon period. The optimism for Iraq’s future still ran high (at least in some circles), and at the same time I could see questionable expressions on the faces of Iraq’s citizens as we patrolled past them. No one knew how it would all play out. Personally the fragile tensions that held together a shaky peace ended on November 12, when a suicide bomber destroyed the building in An Nasiriyah that at one time was my platoon’s headquarters....
China’s relationship with Microsoft is emblematic of its relationship with America–sweet and sour. Mainland authorities know they need Microsoft if they hope to thrive in the information age. Yet they fear becoming overly dependent on the company. So the government has urged the development of alternatives, like Red Flag Linux. Unlike Windows, Linux is an open-source operating system–which means its programming isn’t hidden. China (and developers around the world) like that....
While the last one may not hold true after the collapse of the Soviet Union, 1974 was a world apart from 2014. 40 years ago, the world as we know it had been rented into two halves due to their diametrically opposing political ideologies.

It was at that moment — or, to be more accurate, when the deal went into effect in 1991 — baseball became the sport in which greatness was available for a price. Success no longer was so much about who had the best scouts, the best developmental system and the best manager to handle all the best players who grew through the system. It became more about which teams made beaucoup bucks from their local TV deals....
While studios like Housemarque have been getting some well-deserved praise for games like Returnal, and Media Molecule’s Dreams is finally getting the attention it deserves, not nearly enough appreciation has been shared for Insomniac Games.

Kerry served in the Obama-Biden administration as secretary of state, and was influential in its key foreign policy achievements—including the Iran nuclear deal....
In the U.S., reasons for vaccine hesitancy run the gamut, ranging from possible side effects to distrust in the government. Additionally, some people have questioned why they would need to get a COVID-19 vaccine if they normally don’t get the flu shot. Several infectious disease experts say that the logic behind these concerns is mistaken. “I would stress with everyone that when you are due to get the COVID-19 vaccine, you should get it, it’s a big mistake to think that you’re somehow immune and protected and you don’t need it,” Robert Jacobson, MD, a Mayo Clinic pediatrician in the department of Community Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, tells Verywell....

In an interview with Arab News, Swiatek opined that Gauff was “doing everything quicker than most of the players” and asserted that she would win a Grand Slam because “she was raised to do that....

At the same time, the ex-Beatles plan to release several CDs of alternate takes and live performances.
