The 132-minute clash took place under heavy rains in the city of Chapare, in the South American country’s heartland.Referee Julio Gutierrez added the time due to a prolonged video review of Palmaflor’s second goal and a brawl that followed two red cards for the visitors.The commission made the decision to suspend the officials late on Tuesday.Blooming said on Twitter that the match officials put its players under heavy risk of injury due to “excessive added time.”Palmaflor’s top sports executive is Bolivia’s former President Evo Morales, who said on social media his team had won the match despite “suspicious officials.”Morales governed Bolivia between 2006-2019.

US tribes get bison as they seek to restore bond with animal GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) — Dozens of bison from a mountain park outside Denver were transferred Wednesday to several tribes from across the Great Plains, in the latest example of Native Americans reclaiming stewardship over animals their ancestors lived alongside for millennia.Following ceremonial drumming and singing and an acknowledgement of the tribes that once occupied the surrounding landscape, the bison were loaded onto trucks for relocation to tribal lands.About a half-dozen of the animals from Colorado will form the nucleus of a new herd for the Yuchi people south of Tulsa, Oklahoma, said Richard Grounds with the Yuchi Language Project. The herd will be expanded over time, to reestablish a spiritual and physical bond broken two centuries ago when bison were nearly wiped out and the Yuchi were forced from their homeland, Grounds said.He compared the burly animals’ return to reviving the Yuchi’s language — and said both language and bison were inseparable from the land. ...

City of Kingston Licensing and Enforcement Manager Kyle Compeau says based on what’s been seen on social media the bigger party is expected to be on Saturday but that bylaw and Kingston Police will still be “bolstering up enforcement complements” for Friday as well.

Well, the ER, first and foremost, isn't the most sanitary place but she's cleaned and washed, her vest is clean all the time. People wash their hands before and after they pet her," Dr. Susan Ryan said.Ryan works in the emergency room at Rose Medical Center and says just the presence of her companion dog Pepi is powerful medicine.
