#Moroccan journalist Hajar Raissouni sentenced to prison for premarital sex and an abortion she says she didn’t in what critics have described as a politically-motivated trial nytimes.com/2019/09/30/wor… #FreeHajar
“The trial was perhaps the most prominent example yet in a pattern of arrests and prosecutions of journalists who are critical of the state, on charges seemingly unrelated to their reporting.” #FreeHajar
Her case has sparked protests and a torrent of commentary and criticism online. Many called for greater press freedom and for an overhaul of the country’s conservative penal code. #FreeHajar

AU idea I've been toying with writing, kinda blurry on the details. Might take me a while to type it all out since I'm kind of preoccupied atm

NurseConnor gets hired by Hank because he needs extra help taking care of Cole.
Being Lieutenant and on the homicide division leaves him with unpredictable hours, and he feels bad having to call his neighbors at 2 or 4 in the morning if he gets called in, especially with Coles unpredictable condition and with the type of care he requires.
Cole is epileptic, has been since he was a baby, and Hank's ex-wife is less than helpful when it comes to helping her husband and caring for her son. Hank just wants someone to be with Cole when he can't, in case there's an emergency.

Was going to do that '1 like = 1 F1 opinion' but that seemed a bit off brand, so:

For every like this tweet gets I will tweet about a weird electric vehicle
Ok, so, you've heard of that one South African guy who makes electric cars but you probably haven't heard of the Optimal Energy Joule, a Cape Town project that never went to commercial production. Designed by the guy who did the F-Type, it collapsed as a project in 2012:
This one you can actually buy, despite looking like a retrofuristic concept, so long as you have a very large amount of cash. It's the Mercedes Maybach Vision which is one of the weirdest cars I've ever seen - there's basically nothing in that enormous bonnet and it's 2.2m long

NEXT UP: 2nd seeded Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) vs 10th seeded Aye Aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) #2018MMM
In the last battles, the cheetah ate the dunnart and the aye aye unnerved the coatimundi so much it retreated. Our scene is once again the Serengeti plains and once again the (still) hungry cheetah is being followed by a researcher named Anne. Aye aye pic=Nick Garbutt #2018MMM
The sun is setting. Cheetahs are mostly active during the day and Anne had based much of her PhD fieldwork on the idea that they would stay put at night to avoid lions and hyenas. Whoo-ee was she wrong (a theme for her PhD). Turns out cheetahs can move a lot at night #2018MMM

207. UCHE DIKE was an odd ball with a mild distasteful sense of fashion when he first gained admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe university in Anambra State, Nigeria.

Uche was one of those students in school who occasionally wore bogus long sleeved shirts...
208... and carton-coloured trousers that looked like something that came out of a thrift shop in the
1980's.

A geek eyeglass, an afro, a black duffle bag and a brown shoe that shares the same oddity with Uche's choice of clothing, was also part of his signature appearance.
209. Uche was an awkward young man which made him an easy target for bullies.

Sometimes he felt there was a mental sticker on his head that screamed
'Bully me. Bully me. Bully me'.

Uche was the real definition of "Fashion makes you stand out." His mentality...

Any place can be transformed from a place for cars to a place for people. It takes vision & will. #Amsterdam 1976 vs 2017 via @amsterdamized
Amsterdam chose to give their streets to cars. Then they chose to take them back. There's nothing magical about #Amsterdam. They just chose.
Think your city doesn't have much in common with #Amsterdam? As city archive photos show, it used to.
