Ackerman faced 740 charges, including possession of child pornography, rape, human trafficking, sexual grooming of a child, sexual assault and the sexual exploitation of children.
Boy, I goofed. I confused in my memory banks two different original outbreaks -- Lassa and Marburg, mis-recalling things I wrote nearly 30 years ago.
I apologize. And here, I will quote a section of THE COMING PLAGUE referring to #Marburg in a thread.

🇿🇦 Are there 600,000 confirmed #homeless people living on the streets of #Johannesburg & #Pretoria, as claimed by @IOL? africacheck.info/homeless_peopl…
@IOL The figure is attributed to Homeless Solutions, a non-profit organisation based in Pretoria.
The claim is not based on evidence, but on what a representative told us was “experience and observation”. africacheck.info/homeless_peopl…

@IOL The figure is inconsistent with various estimates and a recent attempt to count all street-homeless people in the City of Tshwane (Pretoria). africacheck.info/homeless_peopl…
During my second year at TUT in 2021, I saved up my NSFAS allowance to invest in my idea of creating an e-hailing app that's affordable for users and doesn't charge commission on drivers.
I invested 6 months learning a new skills on YouTube on how to code.

1. L'#11settembre ricorda la tragedia del 2001 a #NewYork, che fu all'origine della più grande tragedia, della ventennale guerra in #Afghanistan e in #Iraq. L'11 settembre ricorda anche il #colpodistato militare in #Cile del 1973 contro il governo di #SalvadorAllende >
2. Date simbolo della #violenza del #terrorismo e del #militarismo. Tragedie delle quali non riusciamo a liberarci in una spirale di #guerra continua. Se non ricorrendo alla memoria di un altro #11settembre, quello del 1906 a #Johannesburg, quando un giovane avvocato indiano >
di nome Mohandas K. #Gandhi, in un'assemblea al Teatro Imperiale, chiamava gli immigrati indiani alla lotta contro l'#apartheid. Fu la nascita del metodo #satyagraha, l'alternativa razionale e morale alla violenza e alla #guerra per affrontare e risolvere i #conflitti. >

A friend of mine (@hazeldickens) recently asked @HayleyEversKing and I; “Can you see the #Jacaranda trees, which bloom every year in #Pretoria, from space?”…#thread (1/n)
For those that have never seen them; #Jacarandas grow all over #Pretoria & #Johannesburg & each year explode in an incredible purple display between September & November. We saw these when we visited @UPTuks in 2011, on an @Access_HP course & they are stunning! (2/n)
We’re not land remote sensing aficionados (ocean please!), but decided to have a look using @CopernicusEU @ESA_EO #Sentinel2 data. We started by comparing a time of year when we know the trees are in bloom (now), with one where we know that weren’t (July) (3/n)
Hi! I'm April. Inspired by Roxane Gay (don't @ her, she's busy), I'm doing an international mileage run this weekend. I leave tonight. Nah, I haven't packed. And I'm going to try and do it with just an overnight bag, not my usual rollerbag. Come along for the ride, won't you?
London! First stop is the @VirginAtlantic Revivals Lounge thanks to my @Delta status where I can take a shower and apparently get a facial and have something ironed. The water pressure is better than my house and this cute little room has everything I need. #TrierTaughtMe

Germany 🇩🇪 continue to dominate Europe in this #DigitalTransformation. Hungary is new. While smaller countries like Portugal, Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia, Ireland, Malta, and Spain continues their explosive growth! Please join $stratis #hackathon @devpost @EUBlockchain
Middle East has a slight uptick. Bahrain 🇧🇭, Turkey 🇹🇷, and Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 maintain their lead and continue their growth. Iran is new. I suspect we will hear some news from #Bahrain and #Turkey in 2020. Please join $stratis #hackathon @devpost

Terrible news for Little @marcorubio @AmbJohnBolton & Guadio’s gang, but great news for the people of Caracas:
The city’s free Metro system is coming back on line as Venezuela recovers from its curiously timed electricity outages.
