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.

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.

In February 2010, the military of Niger staged a coup and overthrew the government of President Mamadou Tandja, replacing him with a leader of their own choosing, Salou Djibo. A new government, deemed the Supreme Council for the Restoration of Democracy, was also formed. Djibo promised the people of his country a return to civilian rule and elections to choose a new leader, but he has not said when that event will occur. The overthrow of Tandja, a former military man himself, is evidence that many in Niger were deeply unhappy with his recent abolishment of presidential term limits, seeing it as a threat to the countrys young democracy. Tandja had been in office for over 10 years.
In the first round of 2011 presidential elections which saw 51.6% voter turnout, Mahamadou Issoufou of the Niger Party for Democracy and Socialism (PNDS) won 36.2% of the vote while Seyni Oumarou of the National Movement for the Development of Society (MNSD) tallied 23.2%, triggering a runoff, which was held in March. After capturing 58% of the runoff vote, Mahamadou Issoufou assumed the presidential office. He appointed Brigi Rafini as prime minister.

THE Registrar General's Department (RGD) is working to increase the number of clients accessing its online services from 40 per cent to 60 per cent.
Another feature offered online is the RGD's verification service, which was officially launched in May.
It allows stakeholders, which are mostly government entities, to log on to the RGD portal and verify the information on a certificate that would be presented to them.
McFarlane said this reduces the usual time it would take for persons to write to the RGD to request verification.
They literally just enter their certificate information, the application number, it hits our system and they get back a verification message then and there.

Governor General Sir Patrick Allen has suspended personal use of the controversial insignia of the Order of St Michael and St George.
The insignia depicts a white man, cited as a triumphant archangel, with his foot on the neck of a black man deemed to be ‘Satan’.
Sir Patrick also says he has asked his office to review all insignias and iconography associated with the Office of The Governor General that may be considered racialised or culturally inappropriate.
In the meantime, the governor general has sent a letter to the Chancellor of the Order of St Michael and St George requesting a revision of the image used on the medal.
He has recommended that it be changed to reflect an inclusive image of the shared humanity of all peoples.
