macomb community college introduces mobile simulation unit to bring health care workforce training directly to employers
macomb community college’s health and public services department is launching a customized mobile simulation unit designed to bring training directly to employers, reducing barriers related to transportation, scheduling and access to traditional training facilities. The specially outfitted 38-foot recreational vehicle functions as a mobile classroom, bridging the gap between classroom instruction and on-the-job application.
“employers told us they needed training brought directly to their workplaces, and this mobile unit is our response,” said narine mirijanian, dean, health and public services, macomb community college. “It allows us to deliver the same high-quality, hands-on training we offer on campus while removing barriers related to time, travel and staffing.”
fully equipped for instruction, the mobile simulation unit includes equipment to teach vital signs, phlebotomy chairs, a hospital bed, examination table, gurney and wheelchair. There is also an area to debrief with students. The space supports supervised clinical skills training for nurses, medical assistants, phlebotomists, emergency medical technicians, paramedics and nurse assistants. Training may include procedures such as phlebotomy, iv insertion, wound care, ekgs, vital sign assessment, cpr and basic life support.
“the key benefit of a mobile training unit is its ability to accelerate workforce development,” said amy jury, director, apprentice and business partnerships, health and public services.” It allows us to bring instructors, equipment and training directly to employers or communities, eliminating delays and barriers that often come with fixed-site programs.”
beyond employer training, the mobile unit will also bring education and career exposure directly to locations where access to health care training may otherwise be limited, supporting outreach to high schools, community centers, job fairs and community events.
mobile simulation models were explored in person by touring existing units available in ohio to evaluate layouts, equipment and functionality before finalizing the design for macomb’s version. The result is an on-demand, deployable training resource that can be mobilized quickly to respond to employer hiring surges, workforce shortages and emerging industry needs. The college’s $459,932 investment in the mobile unit was funded as part of $2.6 million federal grant supporting a three-year effort to help introduce health care apprenticeship opportunities to students, community partners and local employers.
macomb displayed the mobile simulation unit at micareerquest southeast in november 2025, where thousands of high school students toured the unit and learned about health care career pathways, apprenticeships and work-based learning. The college is now working with health care employers and community partners to identify additional outreach events and on-site training opportunities.

| San Francisco leader spent public funds on travel and education. - Total News |
| Posted on Tuesday, March 31 @ 00:02:29 PDT (9 reads) | |

Sheryl davis, the former head of san francisco’s human rights commission, is currently incarcerated on 17 counts of misuse of funds. Despite her vocal advocacy for human rights, she reportedly squandered millions of taxpayer dollars on extravagant trips, tickets to sporting events, her son’s college education, and efforts to promote her own image.
davis and her longtime partner, james spingola, are facing serious legal repercussions for allegedly misappropriating city funds that were intended to uplift the black community in san francisco.
“this serves as a stark reminder that we need solid checks and balances in place to prevent such incidents,” district attorney brooke jenkins addressed the issue on monday.
according to jenkins, the duo transferred $4.5 million from city resources to spingola’s nonprofit, collective impact, which highlights a troubling pattern of self-dealing.
documents reveal that davis spent staggering amounts on lavish events—like $2.1 million on catering, ice rink rentals, djs, and other entertainment for a philadelphia party, as well as $267,000 on gala tickets and sponsorships, and $60,000 for an event at the golden state warriors’ arena.
the audit further uncovered that she sold 1,500 copies of a children’s book titled “free to sing” and allocated $75,000 to promote it, among other personal projects.
city commissioner greg wagner described her expenditures as “frivolous, unethical and unwarranted,” emphasizing the need for rebuilding trust in the department now overshadowed by this scandal.
davis held dual roles as director of both the human rights commission and the dream keeper initiative, which was established in 2021 by former mayor london breed to direct $120 million towards the black community after the police killing of george floyd. In fact, there were initial discussions about pulling law enforcement funding from this initiative, largely financed through the city’s general fund.
investigations revealed that while some dream keeper funds were allocated to legitimate programs, there were glaring issues with oversight and questionable spending. Significant portions of the $40 million designated annually for the initiative were funneled into community organizations that perplexed city officials with their spending behaviors, as reported by the san francisco standard.
for example, the j&j community resource center lost eligibility to work with the city due to fraudulent activities, inflating costs for services like motorcycle rentals and cigars.
another organization, both sides of the conversation, attempted to cover lavish meals and travel expenses. During a sponsored community bowling event, there was even a boast of a “prize” pot of $20,000, accompanied by a flashy promotional video showing cash rewards to participants.
davis reportedly split expenses into smaller amounts to evade close scrutiny from city auditors, violating spending limits in the process.
in 2023, for instance, the human rights commission allocated $8,000 to an organization for a “queen’s weekend retreat,” aiming to support certain unidentified individuals in their community services.
moreover, the department reportedly spent $685,123 on tickets to games, facility rentals, and travel, alongside $353,113 for restaurant rentals and catering. Davis even sought reimbursement for about $79,950 in rent and expenses related to her martha’s vineyard residence.
she also requested that the city cover the costs for her friend antione phillips, allowing him to stay several weeks at the upscale intercontinental hotel under the claim that he was temporarily unemployed.
davis’s attorney has defended her actions, asserting that she was selected for her expertise and connections aimed at benefiting san francisco’s black community, and that she is cooperating with the ongoing investigation. The attorney suggested that davis received little guidance on navigating governmental procedures while being expected to create effective support systems for those in need. |

The mindbending ‘cyberpunk city’ in china that exists on so many levels
by haicen yang and hassan tayir, cnn
(cnn) — when visiting chongqing for the first time last november, joshua guvi was worried that the city he’d seen on social media couldn’t possibly be as cool in real life.
located in a mountainous area of southwestern china, this sprawling metropolis is known for its complex, multilayered layout, prompting some to refer to it as china’s “8d city.” Including its rural outer regions, the whole area is the size of austria. Due to the city’s unique landlocked geography and rapid growth, chongqing has had nowhere to go but up, to the point where one building even has a train running through the middle of it.
for tourists — and even some locals — getting lost in serpentine, eye-popping chongqing is part of the fun.
“it actually shot a lot over my expectations,” says guvi, a travel content creator from canada.
these moments were stitched together into a video on guvi’s youtube channel. He wrote, “chongqing feels like peering into the future. The neon — soaked and alive with motion. This city has its own pulse.”
from ‘off the radar’ to must-see
word is clearly getting out. Guvi began his trip in shanghai, but says he quickly wanted to experience a more authentically chinese city.
“i had heard some people talk about it (chongqing) in shanghai… shanghai is an amazing city, but i was curious to see more of the actual china, versus kind of the shanghai where you can still get by on english.”
he isn’t the only one who has been bypassing beijing, xi’an and other cities along the established chinese tourist route in favor of chongqing. Tourism in chongqing has been skyrocketing since the country reopened post-pandemic.
social media has become the main way younger travelers learn about the city. One viral post on instagram showing a building where “you think you’re on the ground floor, but you’re actually on the 12th” has racked up more than 17 million views.
according to data released by the chongqing government, the city welcomed about 1.3 million inbound tourists in 2024, representing a year-on-year increase of 184%.
in the first two months of 2025, the number of foreign nationals entering through the city’s ports increased by 60% year-on-year, according to the chongqing immigration administration bureau.
li tian, a manager at a local travel agency, says that the city’s viral popularity has resulted in “a 20 to 30% increase in foreign visitors.” She added: “we host over 20,000 travelers annually, and international tourists now make up about 10%. The outlook for inbound tourism is very promising.”
in response to growing international demand, the agency has added english, spanish, thai, japanese and korean-language tours.
li says that most foreign tourists typically stay in chongqing for about five days.
due to geographic proximity and affordable airfare, the majority of tourists come from southeast asia, japan and south korea — though visitors from europe and australia are also rising.
in fact, american tourists have seen the most notable increase. That’s especially impressive considering there that the sole direct flight from the us to chongqing is a once-a-week affair on hainan airlines.
“at the moment, the us is the number one country in terms of our client base, making up around 20% — that’s several hundred people already,” said chen ming, founder of a private travel company established in the second half of last year.
chen launched his boutique travel agency after noticing chongqing’s surging popularity overseas. His company specializes in customized full and half-day experiences for small groups of one to four people.
“in our first month, we only had a few orders. In the second, maybe a dozen,” chen recalls. “Now we receive several hundred bookings every month.” He explained that the tourist numbers fluctuate by season, among which, june tends to be moderate, but december and april — around christmas and spring break — are much busier.
on chen’s website, some of the most popular offerings include walking tours of the city’s old towns and scenic hiking trails, as well as a themed itinerary retracing the steps of popular american youtuber ishowspeed’s viral trip through chongqing this april.
other featured destinations include a decommissioned nuclear military plant, the dazu rock carvings and the wulong three natural bridges — famously featured in the movie “transformers 4”.
‘a true cyberpunk dream’
defining the architecture of chongqing can be a challenge, many dubbing it cyberpunk, a genre of science fiction set in a lawless subculture of an oppressive society dominated by computer technology.
“chongqing’s architecture style is unique,” says matthew blair, 34, an american who moved to the city in 2009. “The concrete and mountain terrain, with lots of industrial design, make it seem like a futuristic movie set — but at night, it lights up and elevates the city into a true cyberpunk dream.”
wan linxin, a 27-year-old chongqing native who previously studied in the united states, has become a freelance tour guide. He recently led a team of 20 american university students through the city.
“when i found out they were college students, i pulled out my long-forgotten luffy straw hat,” wan says, referencing a popular anime character who wears a safari-style hat. “Because it was a big group, i needed something for them to follow. When i held up the hat, they would call me ‘luffy’ and trail behind.”
wan took them on a tour that mirrored ishowspeed’s livestream adventure, including a hillside outdoor escalator, a towering 20-story overpass, and the internet-famous “kui xing building,” whose rooftop is a public plaza.
“they kept asking me questions,” wan recalled. “Why is the 8th floor of one building connected to the ground floor of another? Does the monorail passing through the building disturb the residents? Why are some windows covered in cages?”
in fact, chongqing’s unique multidimensional layout is not an aesthetic design, but a necessity.
located at the confluence of the jialing and yangtze rivers in china, chongqing is often referred to as the “mountain city.” Home to more than 32 million residents, the city stretches across gorges, hillsides, river valleys and a layered skyline, which experiences dramatic elevation changes — often spanning several hundred meters. The remarkably challenging geography makes traditional flatland urban planning nearly impossible in chongqing.
instead, urban functions are organized by height and stacked together — transportation systems, residential buildings, commercial areas, sky gardens and pedestrian plazas all layered into the terrain.
buildings often feature entrances on multiple floors depending on the surrounding street level based on the terrain. As a result, a single high-rise might have entry-level access on the 1st, 12th, or even 20th floor — creating what people call the astonishing “8d space.”
wan led the group of 20 american university students to liziba monorail station, one of the city’s most iconic examples of chongqing’s unique architectural landscape where the monorail passes through a residential building constructed into the hillside, extending alongside the yangtze river deep into the town.
“that’s when i realized the most valuable reward of being a guide,” he added. “It’s getting to fall in love with your hometown all over again through the eyes of a traveler.”
besides the dramatic geography and urban visuals, blair, who is passionate about everything spicy, says the food has kept him in chongqing for 15 years.
“massive amounts of street food, late night bbq, and 2 a.M. Hotpot restaurants also make cq stand out and [are] frankly delicious,” blair said. “The locals are resilient and as spicy as their food. They are generous, loud and alive — and they make you wanna be a part of the culture.”
a rating as high as its roofs
like beijing and shanghai, chongqing is one of four provincial-level municipalities directly administered by china’s central government.
and this lesser-known economic hub in the upper reaches of the yangtze river has quietly held its place as china’s fifth-largest economy for the past five years. Last year, it even surpassed guangzhou to rank fourth nationwide, behind only shanghai, beijing and shenzhen.
due to its unique history and geography, the city has long been seen by the central government as a strategic stronghold for china’s “go west” development campaign — a key inland hub linking east and west. During world war ii, chongqing served as the wartime capital thanks to its mountainous terrain and natural defenses. Today, remnants of wartime military sites and foreign embassies coexist with the city’s daily life — you can now enjoy hotpot in underground bomb shelters restaurants.
as chongqing has gone viral online, local authorities have invested heavily in both economic growth and cultural promotion.
in june this year, chongqing unveiled its newest high-speed railway station, spanning a total area of 1.22 million square meters — roughly the size of 170 standard football fields. Built to accommodate a significantly larger volume of passengers, it may be the largest high-speed rail station in the world ever completed in a single phase.
as for chongqing’s dazzling nightscape, chongqing native zhao wenjing, 41, says it’s been decades in the making.
“the development of the night view in chongqing started from when i was born – about 30 years ago,” she said, “the nightscape development probably really picked up in recent years around 2019 when chongqing started promoting tourism seriously, mainly about installing lighting factories, led lights on buildings, and so on.”
a comprehensive lighting plan for chongqing’s central urban districts was implemented last year. The city is continuing to develop night-view observation points from multiple perspectives — both from above and below — and is adding illuminated outlines to landmark buildings across the skyline.
independent tour guide wan also noted that the chongqing government has been highly proactive in promoting urban tourism, organizing regular drone shows, holiday light displays and fireworks shows.
during peak travel seasons, local residents even receive text messages from the government, kindly asking them to stay home to leave more room for tourists visiting.
“i truly believe more and more international travelers will come,” says zhao. “After all, chongqing’s vibe is something that can’t be replaced anywhere else in the world.”
meanwhile, china’s recent wave of visa-free initiatives is part of a broader push to promote inbound travel.
beginning in december 2023, china granted visa-free access to citizens of france, germany, italy, the netherlands, spain, and malaysia. As of june 2025, china has unilaterally implemented visa-free entry for citizens of 47 countries and offers visa on arrival or simplified entry policies for a total of 54 nations.
data from the chongqing immigration bureau shows that in the first two months of 2025, the number of foreign nationals entering through visa-free access increased by 245% year-on-year.
guvi tells cnn that he would absolutely recommend the city his friends and followers.
“i wish we stayed longer,” he said.

1. A wd-40 pen — aka a mini magic wand with zero mess or smell, so you can finally tackle those squeaky front-door hinges that announce to the entire neighborhood you made it home. The precise tip can be pressed to quickly dispense a bit of formula or held down if you need extra on those loud cupboards. Ollivanders who? Www.Amazon.Com
promising review: i love wd-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen junk drawer, and in the house toolbox. — Bbp623
get a three-pack from amazon for $12.49 (also available individually with a tumbler).
2. Bioclean hard water stain remover you need if once upon a time the view out of your shower wasnt blocked by a cloudy film. With just a bit of scrubbing, thisll get rid of soap scum, rust, and calcium buildup — no streaks left behind. And theyll come off so easily, you wont even mind tackling those annoying sink stains, too! Www.Amazon.Com
advertisement advertisement promising review: we have hard well water and i have been struggling for years to remove the brown toilet ring and stains around the bowl in my toilet. I have tried [so many types of cleaners]. I left each to sit for hours, and each of them did absolutely nothing to remove any of the stains. A pumice stone did take some off, but it took forever just to clean one tiny little spot, so the whole bowl would have taken hours or even days to finish, not to mention i felt like i was going to scratch the bowl. I saw this brand mentioned in a cleaning group online and decided i had nothing to lose. I used a blue scotch brite scrubber pad to apply this, and it actually worked!! The photo shows that the bottom half is the part that i used bioclean on, and the top half still has the ring and brown stains. My toilet bowl has never looked actually clean like that since we first moved into this house, and it was a brand new toilet. I still have to do the rest of the toilet, but i am so glad i found this product. All other toilet bowl cleaners are basically useless to me ; i will be purchasing this item from amazon for life. It also cleaned stains off my brushed nickel faucet and porcelain sink that no other cleaner had touched. There is no strong chemical scent either. — Stillwaters

the microfiber dusting head is completely removable and machine-washable.
advertisement advertisement promising review: this sucker is loooong. Its also short when you need it to be. But its length is one of its greatest assets, being able to reach even those ceiling beams you couldnt reach before. Finally reach the tops of picture frames that are hanging in awkwardly high places. Clean off the poles that extend the drop of the ceiling fans. Dust the corner speakers mounted at the ceiling. This is what i did in no time at all with this duster, and despite nearly two years of web buildup in some high places, i got the whole job done in just a few minutes.

so freaking comfy. I need my undies to cradle under my butt cheeks the way a loving mother tenderly cradles her newborn’s face.

It wasn’t quite enough for my entire shower, but to be fair, we have a lot of small tiles. I think two bottles will get the whole shower floor. Bravo on a great product. — Thekuan

promising review: my shower drain is the absolute worst! I live in a really old house, and the twisting and turning of the pipes makes it ridiculously difficult to snake or anything like that, so i have to resort to using drano-like products.

Seriously, i can’t believe i’m writing this detailed a review on a liquid/gel hair clog eliminator, but i’m so amazed at how quickly this product works at unclogging my drain. Fifteen minutes later, and no more water above my ankles!
yes, i do have to redo it every month or two, because of course it gets clogged again with new hair and gunk. For the price, i’m willing to pay for it monthly forever to keep the problem abated. — Weston16

Twice a day for about 15 minutes each time and now im able to interrupt my urine stream, something that was not possible before starting. Also, i notice im not getting up in the middle of the night to pee. I feel that now that im using the heavier weights, the progress is slower, but thats understandable and to be expected. Im 37 years old, have gone through two vaginal births, and im finally feeling a difference!

promising review: i used to be in sports all through middle and high school, and it really messed up my left foot overall, especially my big toe. I was always embarrassed by my big toe during the summer that i’d put a bandage over it to make it seem like it was injured. Finding someone to fix your toe is expensive, and i don’t have that kind of money at the moment. Started doing research on ways to do so, and this one was the best way. It does take some practice, but once attached, it should not move. Your toes will hurt for a day. Like a dense pain. Not sharp. I saw a difference in about two weeks.

| Hollywoods first Black female manager gets Palm Springs star |
| Posted on Tuesday, March 31 @ 00:02:29 PDT (12 reads) | |
|
|
There have been many firsts in dolores robinsons life and career, such as earning the title of first black female entertainment manager in hollywood, but she never planned it that way.
her story includes integrating her college and becoming one of the first black students to live on campus, becoming a teacher in philadelphia and packing up her and her childrens lives and moving out to los angeles, where she broke barriers. Recently, she received the 485th star on the palm springs walk of the stars in honor of her career as the first black female talent manager in film and television, representing stars such as levar burton, martin sheen, wesley snipes, jada pinkett smith and her daughter holly robinson peete. Her star is located by eight4nine restaurant & lounge in downtown.
but earning a star represented something so much more than just her work, the palm springs resident said.
when we were putting together what could be said on my star ... I said i want to have first black woman because that means something, the 89-year-old said. It means something to me that i was, and i dont see very many stars in palm springs that say first black anything.
prior to her time in hollywood, robinson lived in philadelphia, where she was a school teacher and her husband at the time, matt robinson, worked on the childrens television program sesame street. Afterward, she became a public relations director and on-air personality for wcau-tv and later served as a publicity director for kyw-tv in philadelphia.
after experiencing marital hardships, robinson relocated her family to los angeles, where she first got a job in an agency.
in that office one day walked this young man named levar burton, who was at usc at the time and who was doing something called roots. The agency wanted to put him in a sitcom and i thought, wow, this kid just finished something thats getting ready to be the most popular show in the world maybe, groundbreaking at least, and they want to put him in a sitcom? She recalled. So they and i disagreed on what should be done, and since i was an employee, i had no other choice but quit.
she printed up some business cards, started dolores robinson entertainment and burton became her first client.
as a personal manager, she made sure her clients had the right team around them to help aid their career, such as agents, publicists and lawyers. Robinson said being a manager was not a popular thing to do at the time, and more often than not agents would turn down her offers. So, she started doing things her own way.
im shopping one day and this man is pushing his cart and i turned around and i looked at him and said, whoever put you in the movie that they put you in after apocalypse now does not know what your career could be, robinson said. She was talking to sheen, who was taken aback by her comment, but intrigued by her ideas. She later went on to represent him and a host of other successful actors.
robinson believes her friendly nature and accessibility helped her move throughout the hollywood world, as well as knowing what to say and how to say it when she needed. She admitted shes amazed at her fearlessness at that time, often having to stand up to others and be the only black woman in the room.
i think theres something inside of me that pushes me to survive, robinson said.
her career in hollywood came with plenty of stress, but also so much fun along the way, such as traveling the world, meeting people from all backgrounds and appearing on the reality shows for peetes sake and meet the peetes, starring her holly robinson peete, son-in-law and former football pro rodney peete and their children.
but the true highlights of her life come in the form of making a difference in the world. She pointed to integrating her college, west chester university, and returning four decades later to deliver the commencement address.
if theres a measuring stick, that would be the measuring stick in my career, robinson said. One would think it would be the show business things. I had a couple of actors who were nominated for academy awards and those kinds of things are really exciting, but theyre a part of showbiz.
since moving and retiring to palm springs nearly nine years ago, she has fallen in love with the desert and has found different ways to get involved. She has spotlighted the city on her daughters reality show, and previously served on the board of pegasus, a horse ranch serving children with disabilities and autism. Shes also a member of palm springs women in film, which awarded her the prestigious broken glass award in 2019 in recognition of her groundbreaking work. Robinson has also served as a keynote speaker at college of the desert. Most recently, she adopted a dog from the palm springs animal shelter.
she already couldnt have loved palm springs anymore, but now that shes earned her place on the prestigious walk of stars, shes extraordinarily privileged and extraordinarily thankful to the city.
there will likely be many others who become the firsts of something in life. Robinson has a piece of advice for them: if it does happen to you as it happened to me, be so thankful and be so grateful. Just be grateful that in your lifetime you were recognized. Most of us go through life without any recognition.

| Indias PM Narendra Modi Accused of Offering Ministerial Position to Female MPs i |
| Posted on Tuesday, March 31 @ 00:02:29 PDT (14 reads) | |
|
|
Information regarding indian prime minister narendra modi in this context largely concerns his mention in the jeffrey epstein files, which indian officials have dismissed as baseless, and separate allegations against members of his party and modi himself.
while the allegations that indian prime minister narendra modi has made several women mps and ministers in exchange for sex with him are eye-opening, the statements of those making the allegations are not to be dismissed at all.
the allegations of moral misconduct against him, despite his advanced age, while sitting at the top of power, are unprecedented in the history of indian politics.
the news of this sinister transaction between women and power has now sparked discussions on the international stage.
the bjp’s former leader, harvard alumnus and prominent economist subramanian swamy, has detonated this explosive bombshell while discussing the infamous epstein file in a podcast.
her clear claim is that not only the mp post but also several women have been given places in the union cabinet only in exchange for immoral sexual benefits. This terrible allegation has been added to by madhu purnima kishwar, a former ardent supporter of modi and a staunch hindutva writer.
she had once written a book comparing modi to mahatma gandhi and publicly supported her husband’s outrageous allegations in a long post on social media. Kishor’s clear claim is that she knew about modi’s behaviour and negative views towards women.
she even heard about modi’s luxurious lifestyle during his visit to america. This is precisely why she consciously refrained from meeting the prime minister in person to deliver her book.
while giving examples of this naked abuse of power without regard to qualifications, kishwar also highlighted the reality of appointing smriti irani, who never went to college, as the country’s union education minister.
surprisingly, even after such a big scandalous allegation against the top leader of the state, from the hindutva and party circles, the mainstream media in india is completely silent.
according to political analysts, since most of the media in india are slaves of the ruling class, there is a clever attempt to cover up this unprecedented moral scandal.
according to experts, serious allegations like exploiting women in exchange for power against a prime minister are extremely humiliating for indian politics. After this unprecedented moral scandal, it is expected that the main opposition parties may take a strong position in the political arena, demanding the immediate resignation of narendra modi.
epstein file
the malaysian and indian prime ministers have denied connections with the late convicted sex trafficker jeffrey epstein, after their names appeared in a tranche of files released by the us department of justice.
epstein’s global web of influence has been exposed by the documents, which named high-profile political figures, including us president donald trump.
us deputy attorney-general todd blanche said more than 3 million pages, 2,000 videos and 180,000 images relating to epstein and fellow sex offender ghislaine maxwell were released.
“i know anwar well, always stayed close to him for many years even though everybody said he’s finished and can never come back. Looks different now,” their email concluded.
epstein responded, suggesting a meeting with mr anwar for may of that year and asking whether the malaysian politician would travel to europe or the us.
in a later email, as an apparent enticement for mr anwar to meet, epstein said mr anwar should be told filmmaker woody allen was with epstein in paris and that “many countries are offering him money to ma[k]e a movie in their country”.
mr anwar became prime minister in 2022 .
“the indian prime minister modi took advice and danced and sang in israel for the benefit of the us president,” epstein said in an email from july of that year.
“they had meet a few weeks ago. It worked!”
mr modi did visit israel in 2017, but india’s foreign ministry forcefully dismissed the suggestion that epstein was involved.
“we have seen reports of an email message from the so-called epstein files that has a reference to the prime minister and his visit to israel,” a ministry of external affairs statement said.
released documents in early 2026 mention pm modi’s 2017 israel visit, with epstein claiming in an email that modi took his advice and “danced and sang” for the benefit of the us president. India’s ministry of external affairs dismissed these as “trashy ruminations by a convicted criminal,” confirming the visit but denying any involvement or advice from epstein.
revanna is accused of sexual assault of many women and making more than 3,000 sex tapes during the election trails. Allegations surfaced that modi, while chief minister of gujarat in 2009, ordered surveillance on a woman and offer party ticket for parliament for sex . The bjp claimed the surveillance was protection requested by her family.
in 2024–2026, scandals involving members of the ruling bjp, such as allegations against prajwal revanna and a goa councillor’s son, have been highlighted by critics, but they directly involve other bjp members. Revanna is accused of sexual assault of many women and making more than 3,000 sex tapes during the election trails. |

| San Francisco chief used taxpayer money for travel, tuition |
| Posted on Tuesday, March 31 @ 00:02:29 PDT (13 reads) | |

Disgraced san francisco city boss s heryl davis preached about human rights , but allegedly squandered a fortune in taxpayer funds on luxe travel, sports tickets, her son’s college tuition and personal pr — now landing her in jail on 17 charges.
the former head of the san francisco human rights commission and her longtime live-in partner are facing felony charges for allegedly using money intended to help the city’s black communities for personal benefit.
“this is certainly a lesson for the city that there has to be an infrastructure for checks and balances so things like this don’t happen,” said district attorney brooke jenkins on monday.

6 sheryl davis and her longtime partner, james spingola, were booked into jail. Drew altizer photography davis and spingola signed contracts steering $4.5 million in city funding to spingola’s nonprofit, collective impact, as part of a “pattern of self-dealing,” according to jenkins.
a prior audit found the ex-human rights commission director splashed out millions in lavish expenses that included $2.1 million on an ice rink rental, dj, floral arrangements and catering for a party in philadelphia, $267,000 on gala tickets and sponsorships, $60,000 for an event at the golden state warriors’ chase center .

she allegedly arranged the sale of 1,500 copies her children’s book, “free to sing,” and spent $75,000 to promote her children’s books and other personal projects, per the audit.
6 davis was handpicked to lead dream keeper initiative by ex-mayor london breed. Facebook/sherylevandavis her spending was “frivolous, unethical, and unjustifiable. It unfairly tainted the broader work of the department and requires that trust and confidence now be rebuilt,” san francisco controller greg wagner said of the audit last year.
davis was in charge of both the city-funded human rights commission and dream keeper initiative, which was created in 2021 by ex-mayor london breed.

dream keeper was described as a $120 million investment in san francisco’s black communities after the police killing of george floyd. Officials initially sought to strip funds from law enforcement to pay for dream keeper initiative, though it was largely funded through general city dollars.
6 davis’ department invoiced lavish expenses like a $60,000 venue rental, but tried to evade fiscal oversight. City of san francisco though some dream keeper initiative funds went towards legitimate programs, such as down payment assistance, the program was plagued by a lack of oversight and questionable spending, according to published reports and city investigations.
of the roughly $40 million per year allocated to the initiative, some was doled out to community groups that spent money “in ways that have mystified and embarrassed city officials,” the san francisco standard reported.

one dream keeper funding recipient, nonprofit j&j community resource center, was barred from doing business with the city after it fraudulently tried to bill $100,000 in cigars , motorcycle rentals and other expenses, city auditors said.
6 davis was lauded for her work in san francisco’s black community. Instagram/sheryldavissf another nonprofit, called both sides of the conversation, attempted to submit invoices for pricey meals, liquor and first-class travel, per the sf standard.
at one community bowling event sponsored by dream keeper and the human rights commission, both sides of the conversation organizers boasted of $20,000 in cash and gift card “giveaways” and posted splashy video of handing out cash to to attendees tossing $1 bills into a crowd of children.
“shout out to our sponsors, the amazing folks that made this happen. And the honorable mayor london breed!” Said organizer jon henry.
davis was known to chop up invoices into amounts of less than $10,000 in order to avoid the scrutiny of city bookkeepers, according to the city’s audit.
she regularly violated restrictions on what can be purchased with her department’s money.

6 davis is pictured with meena harris – the niece of kamala harris – along with breed, and spingola. Photo – drew altizer photography in 2023, for example, the human rights commission paid $8,000 to a nonprofit total women empowerment inc. To fund a “queen’s weekend retreat,” with the stated purpose of helping the unknown participants “serve themselves to continue to service their community.”
the department spent $685,123 on san francisco giants tickets, rental of the golden state warriors’ chase center, and air fare. Restaurant rentals and catering cost taxpayers $353,113, and davis spent $79,950 on a house rental and other fees at martha’s vineyard.
6 davis’s department paid for weeks-long hotel stays for a pal at the luxe intercontinental hotel. Advertisement
davis also demanded the department pay for weeks-long stays at the luxurious intercontinental hotel for a pal, antione phillips, who assisted with a department initiative in 2024. The justification provided was that phillips had “recently lost their job and trying to find a place to stay while they get new employment,” per the city audit.
davis’ attorney defended her in a statement, saying she was “hand picked due to her experience and connections in the business of helping sf’s black community” and has cooperated with the investigation.
“they provided her with no guidance about transitioning into government bureaucracy and asked her to develop a robust system to help those in need to advance not only individuals but san francisco as a city where the black community could thrive,” said attorney tony brass. |

| 4-star LB Aroson Randle Jr. impressed by Ernie Sims and company during his Flori |

Tallahassee -- garner (n.C.) Four-star linebacker aroson randle jr. Made his way to florida state on monday for a lengthy visit. After spending nearly 10 hours on campus, he shed some light on what he learned in his time around the seminoles.
it was really, really good, randle jr. Said.. Ill say coming into it, we kind of had some, not necessarily doubts, but some things that we were kind of higher on some other schools for. I think this visit right here kind of showed that florida state, it can compare or even its better in some ways.
the 6-foot-3, 216-pound linebacker was able to spend the day around linebackers coach ernie sims. He got to see him work with his guys before they hit the practice field, then saw how he and his position group operated on the grass, and just get a stronger personal connection with his prospective position coach.
being here today, i think hes excellent, randle jr. Said of sims. I think hes a great coach. I thnk he could help me become the best player possible.
hes patient, but he is also adamant with his guys, and how he wants it to look a certain way, he wants it to be a certain way, randle jr. Added. He doesnt want them to put themselves in a box, but he also doesnt want them to get to in over their heads. It is just a good situation.
beyond sims, randle jr. Also drew attention from defensive ends coach and pass rush specialist nick williams.
he came in as well, kind of get me to be kind of like that arvell reese kind of guy, randle jr. Said. Kind of dynamic, play some stack, play off the edge a little bit as well.
we hit it off, he added. Hes a really great guy. So we had a good relationship as well.
he also had the opportunity to sit down with head coach mike norvell and have a good conversation.
it was different than a lot of the other head coaches. He didnt really ask me about what i wanted or what im looking for in the school. He just told me what hes looking for as a coach, randle jr. Said. If i feel like i could instill those values in myself and be part of the program, and not in a way of like i dont care what you want, but more in the way of like this is what were looking for. We believe that you can be that guy. And so he just wanted to know from my mouth, could i be that guy.
dj daniels, fsus director of recruiting strategy, has also played a role in his recruitment by the seminoles.
so where do the seminoles stand with him exiting his visit?
at this point, i would say after today definitely in the top of my schools. Definitely a school im looking for for an official visit, randle jr. Said.
at this point, an official visit to fsu is to-be-determined.
we havent set up a date yet, but we are looking into that for sure, randle jr. Said.
the only official visits locked in for randle jr. At this time are to south carolina on may 1st and oregon on june 12th.
randle jr., Who was at florida prior to fsu and will now travel to miami, is in the midst of a lengthy list of spring visits. When those conclude, will he build out his official visit schedule further?
five or six for sure. We dont want to go too deep into the process, past fall or anything like that, so we definitely like five or six. After we can get like those five or six, get my top six or whatever the case may be, go on those ovs, randle jr. Said. I am looking to commit around june 30th. Maybe a little bit before the july date.
there are no predictions on the 247sports.Com crystal ball.
randle jr. Is ranked by 247sports.Com as the no. 144 overall player and no. 8 linebacker in the 2027 class.
as a junior, he played multiple positions on both sides of the ball. As a defender, he had 84 tackles, six tackles for loss, three forced fumbles, and an interception in 13 games, per his 247sports.Com profile.
he is a multi-sport athlete.
below is a scouting report on him via andrew ivins, 247sports.Com director of scouting.
-overhang linebacker with a monster ceiling given the clay.
-pairs a budding frame with big-time track speed.
-can make stops all over the field with his range and frequently hunts down ball carriers to prevent touchdowns.
-still calibrating his sonar, but finds his way to the football and should only get better at reading his keys once his focus is solely on defense.
-gets opponents on the ground, but is a much better wrap-tackler than he is a face-up hammer at this juncture.
-effective in drop coverage with his length and should in theory be able to eventually mark tight ends 1-on-1.
-must continue to improve stack-and-shed capabilities while working on the play recognition, but has a chance to be an impact defender for a college football playoff contender given how he moves at his size. |
