Gimme’ Shelter – Mercedes is at the Providence Animal Control Center

Image
Oh hello! I was found in a stolen car. Imagine! I think my owner and I were living in the car but, it didn’t work out. The car was towed and I was found inside. Thank goodness it wasn’t too hot or too cold out at the time. I am a young female kitty, about a year or so old, maybe less. It’s hard to tell since I am so small BUT, I was coming into heat, too. Thankfully, I have been spayed – no kittens for me! My name might be Mercedes but… I wasn’t found in one, LOL. I am outgoing and very friendly. If you can see me, I am still available! No phone calls please, everything is done online and we do need an application submitted and approved before scheduling a visit.

Please email provanimalcontrol@gmail.com ___ If you have general calls on adoption, call (401...

A Greener View: Vegetable Garden Questions – Jeff Rugg

Image
by Jeff Rugg, contributing writer Q: We planted a new vegetable garden with a lot of different vegetable seeds.

PGMOL admits 'significant human error' which cost Liverpool goal in Tottenham defeat

Referees' body PGMOL has admitted an offside decision which ruled out a Luis Diaz goal in Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to Tottenham on Saturday night was a "a significant human error ". The Reds had Curtis Jones sent off in the first half with the score at 0-0 before Diaz sprang in on goal and finished. The assistant's flag went up but replays showed the Colombia international was onside. The ruling from video assistant referee Darren England came quickly without the customary offside line graphic being shown before on-field official Simon Hooper restarted play. A statement reads: "PGMOL acknowledge a significant human error occurred during the first half of Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool. "The goal by Luiz Diaz was disallowed for offside by the on-field team of match officials. This was a clear and obvious factual error and should have resulted in the goal being awarded through VAR intervention, however, the VAR failed to intervene. "PGMOL will conduc...
