Former Executive Director of Mississippi Department of Human Services Pleads Guilty for Conspiring to Defraud the State of Mississippi | OPA | Department of Justice

According to court documents, John Davis, 54, of Jackson, Mississippi, and his co-conspirators fraudulently obtained and misused federal funds – including funds from two programs, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) – for their personal use and benefit. At Davis’s direction, MDHS provided federal funds to two nonprofit organizations and then directed the two nonprofit organizations to fraudulently award contracts to various entities and individuals for social services that were never provided. In addition, Davis caused the nonprofit organizations to disburse full or almost-full payments pursuant to those sham contracts at or near the beginning of the contract periods, regardless of whether any work had been performed and knowing that no significant services would be provided.

Davis pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and to commit theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, and one count of theft concerning programs receiving federal funds. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 2, 2023, and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison for the conspiracy count and 10 years in prison for the theft concerning programs receiving federal funds count. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Article: Romanian Migration to Spain: Explaining a.. | migrationpolicy.org

The largest origin countries for immigrants in Spain are mostly regional neighbors, states with historical ties, or Latin American nations where the Spanish language dominates. But the second largest national-origin group, with just over 550,000 individuals as of 2021, are Romanians. In fact, Romanians have represented one of the top three foreign-born populations in Spain since 2005, and as of 2020 Spain has hosted the third largest population of Romanian emigrants globally, trailing only Italy and Germany. Yet Spain’s Romanian immigrant population is relatively new and ballooned from only around 2,000 people as of 1990. Source: Article: Romanian Migration to Spain: Explaining a.. | migrationpolicy.org

Fiction writing, from short stories to novels, is woefully underrated. When people ask me about my writing, I ask if they like reading. Eyes bright, they answer that of course they do. Argh, then they list their fave non-fiction titles. Any discussion of fiction elicits sighs about their…

Inocência

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Talvez não tenhamos consciência da nossa maneira de atuar de forma correta em diferentes épocas de nossas vidas. Mas o melhor espelho pelo qual, podemos enxergar a nossa criança interior é, justamente, buscando referências dessa memória que se matem intacta através do tempo. Passado e futuro podem se fazer presente na vida do ser humano, digo ” da pessoa em si”. Todavia, a palavra “inocência” é algo que, mesmo com o passar dos anos, o tempo não modifica o sentido, porque a alma não faz sentido sem vida. Então qualquer alteração que o ser humano sofra, ele busca a pureza da criança de outrora, para ter condições psíquicas de encontrar forças e continuar a vida.

” Quando na realidade o amor é uma coisa tão simples…Veja-o como uma flor que nasce e morre em seguida porque tem que morrer. Nada de querer guardar a flor dentro do livro, não existe nada mais triste no mundo do que fingir que há vida aonde a vida acabou.”
