\t On Friday, internet and international calls were cut off across the West African nation in anticipation of the election results, according to locals and international observers in the capital, Conakry.
\t This was the third time that Conde matched-up against Diallo. Before the election, observers raised concerns that an electoral dispute could reignite ethnic tensions between Guinea's largest ethnic groups.
Three years ago, the Legislature and key park-equity stakeholders came together to craft and pass a $4 billion parks, water, and natural resources bond – Proposition 68 – that, along with other conservation investments, included $725 million for the Statewide Parks Program, intended to ensure the development of parks in California communities that lack them.
It’s the reason why Californians in wealthier communities feel that access to the state’s forests, beaches and other outdoor areas is a birthright, while others have never even seen the ocean and have to travel long distances to get to the closest local park.
In February, California State Parks announced the grant awards from the first $255 million appropriated from Proposition 68 for the Statewide Parks Program, the single largest investment the state has made in communities for local park development.
Because of this, the state has included an additional $395 million for the Statewide Parks Program in this year’s budget for grants to nonprofits, local park districts, cities and counties to continue to deliver on the promise that California embodies: equitable access to nature near and far, for all Californians.
We believe the Legislature must continue to prioritize resources expanding access to nature and parks that will uplift our most underserved communities, whose residents would benefit most from such potentially life-changing investments.
PLUMTREE border touts, popularly known as amagumaguma, have turned a school in Nxele along the border with Botswana into a base for criminal activities, a situation which has riled villagers.
This was revealed by Bulilima West legislator Dingimuzi Phuti at a meeting with traditional and community leadership at Ezimnyama business centre yesterday held to review progress on the construction of Ezimnyama Clinic, which was mooted 67 years ago.
The gangs reportedly broke into Nxele Primary School and are using the premises for criminal activities to the chagrin of locals.
He said the major challenge was that of amagumaguma who were vandalising the buildings and using the structures as their hideout for criminal activities.
It could not be a school where criminals are based and teachers and pupils will teach and learn in intimidating environment,” the legislator said.

Counties Statewide Can Reopen Places of Worship for Religious Services and Retail Stores
Places of Worship Should Limit Attendance to 25% of Total Capacity
or a Maximum of 100 Attendees
Retail Guidance for In-Store Shopping, Already in Place for Certain Counties,
Now Applies Statewide
The California Department of Public Health today announced the statewide reopening of places of worship for religious services and in-store retail shopping.
Under new guidance, places of worship can hold religious services and funerals that limit attendance to 25% of a building’s capacity – or up to 100 attendees, whichever is lower – upon approval by the county department of public health.
As sectors continue to open with changes that aim to lower risk, remember that COVID-19 is still present in our communities,” said Dr. Sonia Angell, State Public Health Officer and Director of the California Department of Public Health.
In 21 days, the Department of Public Health, in consultation with local departments of public health, will review and assess the impact of the religious services guidelines and provide further direction as part of a phased-in restoration of activities.
More information about the state’s COVID-19 guidance is on the California Department of Public Health’s Guidance web page.
It was like a rollercoaster of emotions and I found myself reliving my own experiences while juggling the frustration of my young adult daughter and my elderly mother.
George, Breonna, Sandra, Eric, Philando, Trayvon, Aubrey, Tamir, Jordan, and so many others did not have that opportunity.
I have listened to the stories of my mother witnessing police brutality when she was a young woman or watching my grandmother as a senior citizen being called gal by a younger white woman when I was a girl.
Babylon is mentioned several times throughout the Bible especially during the time of exile of the Jews in the book of Jeremiah: “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.
10 This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place.
The results were announced on Wednesday evening after all the 184 polling centres reported their respective outcomes.

Under the new guidance, places of worship can hold religious services and funerals that limit attendance to 25% of a building’s capacity – or up to 100 attendees, whichever is lower – upon approval by the county department of public health.
Additionally, churches are being asked to establish a written, workplace-specific COVID-19 prevention plan, consider the implementation of a reservation system to limit the number of congregants, and to provide contact information for the local health department in the event of outbreaks among staff and parishioners.
The move comes after 1200 California pastors sent a letter to the governor stating that they would be holding services beginning May 31—Pentecost Sunday— with or without his lifting the order that shut them down two months ago and the Department of Justice’s cautioning that Newsom’s reopening plans were unfairly burdening religious services and that California does more to accommodate religious worship.
Pastor Michael Fisher (Greater Zion Church Family) is not planning to open before July 4 given that modifying his church operations to adhere to state guidelines for religious worship will take some time.
First AME Church has developed an extensive, “23-Point Crisis Recovery Plan,” to lay out proper and responsible protocols intended to lessen the risk of transmission by or to those who visit their campus and its pastor agrees that the reopening of churches shouldn’t be politically motivated by the president.
