The Florida Department of Health ruled that Leon County violated Florida’s statute prohibiting government entities from requiring proof of a COVID-19 vaccination and found the county to have violated the statute 714 times, for a total fine of $3.575 million. Leon County denied that it violated the law, raising questions about the statute’s applicability, and vowed to enforce the vaccine mandate. DeSantis, a vocal critic of vaccine and mask mandates, called the law “very clear” that people can’t be discriminated against because of their COVID-19 vaccination status....
Daniel Descalso, whose earlier error had led to an unearned run, had a two-run, go-ahead triple in the seventh inning and the Diamondbacks rallied to beat Los Angeles 4-3 on Tuesday night, handing the Dodgers their fourth straight loss and seventh in eight games. The Diamondbacks won for the fifth time in six games, improving to 21-8, tied with Boston for best record in baseball and Arizona’s best start through 29 games in the franchise’s history....
Deschamps’ 2018 vintage produced another solid display on Sunday, bottling up Croatia to win 4-2 before lifting the trophy in the pouring rain. Kylian Mbappe and Paul Pogba scored corkers for Les Bleus, both fizzing in shots from outside the area, while Antoine Griezmann’s name will be toasted back in his homeland after he converted a first-half penalty. After celebrating on the pitch in the sudden deluge, Deschamps was surely somewhat relieved to get himself inside for his post-match addressing of the international media, giving him the opportunity to dry off a little....
So how did the book’s editors figure out what on earth to include–especially from the more remote spots of the globe? Three years ago they started sending out hundreds of letters and e-mails, seeking nominations. At least 150 experts weighed in; the first list contained more than 4,000 possibilities. Then a panel began to winnow them down. “Yes, it was a Herculean task,” says Karen Stein, editorial director of Phaidon in New York....

While the above is a focus on the hardware of the desktop PC system, it’s equally important that the computer has an operating system so that you can actually use the new computer....
RELATED: Demon Slayer: Tanjiro’s Sun Breathing Ability, Explained Sun Breathing is one of the many styles in the anime, and its true potential was displayed very late in the series. It is a legendary breathing style mainly used by the series protagonist Tanjiro Kamado, despite being majorly trained in Water Breathing.

Both games have gone down to the wire. In the first match on Saturday, Denmark won by eight runs after managing to defend 111. Sweden played out their entire quota of 20 overs, but could only reach 103 for the loss of six wickets. However, in the second game on the same day, Sweden made a stupendous comeback. Sweden chased down 137 off the last ball and managed to draw level in the series....
Having claimed the first set in a tiebreaker against local hope Lorenzo Sonego, Shapovalov was battling to remain in the second set when the Italian challenged a second serve that was initially called in. After inspecting a ball mark, the umpire determined the serve was out and called a double fault, which handed Sonego a breakpoint. Shapovalov then climbed over the net to challenge the ruling and point at what he thought was the ball mark....

Mike Malone’s side led by 12 at the break. The Purple and Gold clamped up their defense in the second half and used their hustle while protecting the basket to generate offense. Several key contributions helped the cause of the LA Lakers while some of the Denver Nuggets players simply flattered to deceive....
A fine first-half header from Cameron Jerome secured the victory for Gary Rowett’s side at a packed Pride Park. Fulham finished 13 points above Derby in the table and are favourites for many to triumph in the play-offs, but they struggled to turn their dominance of possession into meaningful opportunities. Derby, setting up in a 3-4-3 system without the injured Marcus Olsson, deservedly took the lead when Jerome powered a header past goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli after meeting a curling cross from Craig Forsyth....
Northamptonshire 116 and 316 (Duckett 154, Durston 3-55, Palladino 3-62) Derbyshire won by seven wickets Rumours of the demise of Derbyshire’s championship season were proved to be a load of old cobblers down in Northampton today (see what I did there?)

Wes Durston took three of the last four wickets, the innings being wrapped up by Mark ‘Fifty Wicket’ Footitt....
Derek Brunson has enjoyed his new role of being ’the spoiler’ over the course of the last few fights. He’s picked up a string of wins that have vaulted him back into the top-five conversation. Many don’t expect him to go on to challenge Israel Adesanya for the UFC middleweight title. However, the fact that it’s even a possibility serves as a welcome surprise for a fighter many were ready to write off after ‘The Last Stylebender’ dispatched of him at Madison Square Garden....

“It took a lot out of me, man, those three years.
