Fried, who earlier this year announced her intention to challenge Governor Ron DeSantis during the state’s next gubernatorial election, said the Florida Department of Health has “a significant number” of tests that she said “are set to expire imminently.” She noted that the tests’ exact expiration dates were unknown, which she attributed to DeSantis’ “lack of transparency throughout this pandemic.” Citing the recent rise in new virus infections in Florida because of the spread of the Omicron variant, Fried called upon DeSantis to release the stockpile of tests she said the health department has and distribute them to governments in the state’s counties and cities....

It doesn’t matter whether you get tested at one of your local free STI testing clinics or at your healthcare provider’s office. However, there generally are ways to protect your privacy. STIs are classified as reportable diseases for a reason. Because most of them can only be transmitted through sex, it should (in theory) be possible to stamp the treatable STIs out of existence through reporting and contact tracing. The problem is that these diseases are so often asymptomatic that it can be difficult to locate everyone who is infected and help them to find treatment....

In the viral clip, shared on TikTok on Monday by the dog’s owner under the username tiannuh_, the Doberman can be seen walking towards his owner all excited carrying a hatchet before being told off. The hilarious footage comes with a caption that says on behalf of the dog: “Hey you! frow dis,” followed by his owner’s answer: “Lincoln that isn’t a stick!” According to the Humane Society Naples, dogs love playing fetch because it’s instinctive for them....

In addition to getting an understanding of the Doctor Strange 2 villain that our beloved heroes will have to go up against, other details hint at a much darker film than its predecessor that resembles a horror movie at times. The sequel’s cast also adds Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch and sees the return of Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Baron Mordo and Rachel McAdams’ Christine Palmer. Sam Raimi will be making his return to the superhero genre after he replaced Scott Derrickson as the director due to Derrickson’s departure over creative differences....

MORE: Are these aces broken? | Watch Puig hang over 1,168-foot tower The Dodgers outfielder stayed in the batter’s box, admiring his long drive to right field in the sixth inning, until it bounced off the outfield wall, turning what he assumed was a home run into a very long single — and a one-way ticket to the bench. “In my opinion, he should have been on second base,” Roberts told reporters after the game (via Dodgers....

The French Open is the only grand slam missing from Djokovic’s otherwise glittering resume, but he has already been installed by the bookmakers as odds-on favourite for Roland Garros after a magnificent start to 2016. Djokovic dropped serve in the first game against Nishikori but it was pretty much one-way traffic after that as he outclassed the sixth seed in all facets of the game on the hardcourt at Key Biscayne....

The former world number one split from coach Boris Becker in December and parted company with the rest of his support team earlier this month. Agassi joined Djokovic on the practice courts at Roland Garros on Thursday as the Serbian prepares to defend the title he won 12 months ago to seal a career Grand Slam. And the relationship is already inspiring Djokovic as he looks to build on his run to the final at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia last weekend....

Djokovic, 31, will be playing in his 32nd Slam semi-final where he will face either world number one Rafael Nadal or fifth-seeded Juan Martin del Potro. It will be Djokovic’s first semi-final at a major since the 2016 French Open when he completed the career Grand Slam. The 12-time major winner prevailed despite picking up two code violations and accusing umpire Carlos Ramos of “double standards”. “I think the first warning was unneccessary,” said Djokovic, who was sanctioned in the second set for spearing his racquet into the court....

So, it is only fair to dig deep into the pool of bowling resources that India have heading in to the World Cup. The team management has tried many bowlers, but clearly, two prominent bowlers that India need desperately to be in the flight to England are Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah. Barring the two players, it is tough to pinpoint a single bowler who could be a handy proposition in the death overs....

The study began with a group of Ashkenazi Jews, all of them over 95. Researchers asked them why they thought they had lived for so long. “We would get two answers.

Oversize car-stereo systems and new dance clubs exploit and explore the way music feels hitting your skin, palpating your organs. This is sound that pounds. At the same time, compact discs, with their exaggerated clarity and separation, have created a fetish for surfaces-the chalky sound of the bow rubbing against the violin string, for example, rather than the resonance of the violin. A new band called Nirvana, three scruffy punks from Seattle, suddenly topped the charts by overloading its surfaces, wrapping simple, angry songs in a layer of incessant buzz....

Unlike Veterans Day which is intended to honor all those who served, Memorial Day is a time to honor those who gave their lives in service to their country. Intended to be a serious day of remembrance, some have criticized moving the holiday to the last Monday of May because the three day weekend has created a celebratory atmosphere marking the start of summer. Since the word happy has joyous connotations, some people think it’s inappropriate to wish someone a “Happy Memorial Day....

In his latest clip, PewDiePie pulls no punches when it comes to critiquing his early work, with one of the first comments he makes being about the way he would record and upload long, uncut videos, which essentially provided viewers with footage of him wasting time. For the “new” PewDiePie, time is money, proving this by not only making $7.45 million in YouTube earnings for 2014, but also by explaining that he now records for hours, which he then edits down to several minutes of the best stuff....

Doctor Who first hit the airwaves in 1963, and after a significant hiatus, reemerged in 2005 as one of the most popular sci-fi series of all time. Through multiple showrunners, teams, and onscreen stars, the show has remained beloved by a massive and devoted fan base. At this point, the show is likely unkillable, so some elements of it could be a part of pop culture forever. Its music is one of those elements....
