Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein (Arabic: عبد الله الثاني بن الحسين, ʿAbdullāh aṯ-ṯānī ibn Al-Ḥusayn; born 30 January 1962) has been the King of Jordan since he ascended the throne on 7 February 1999 upon the death of his father King Hussein. He is a member of the Hashemite family, which has ruled Jordan since 1921 and claims to be descended from the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[2]
Abdullah was born to Hussein and his second wife, the British-born Princess Muna al-Hussein. He was named crown prince shortly after his birth. King Hussein transferred the title to his own brother, Hassan, in 1965, only to return it to Abdullah in 1999. He is married to Queen Rania, who is of Palestinian origin. In 1993, he assumed command of Jordan's special forces and became a Major General in May 1998.[1][3]

Abdullah was born in Amman, to King Hussein, during his marriage to British-born Princess Muna al-Hussein (born Antoinette Avril Gardiner). He was the king's eldest son[1] and as such he was heir apparent to the throne of Jordan under the 1952 constitution. However, due to unstable times in the 1960s, King Hussein decided to appoint his brother, Prince Hassan bin Talal, as his heir.[1][4]
Abdullah began his schooling at the Islamic Educational College in Amman. He then attended St Edmund's School, Hindhead, in England, before continuing his education in the United States at Eaglebrook School and Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, Massachusetts. In 1980 he attended the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, was commissioned into the British Army as a Second Lieutenant, and served for a year as a troop commander in the 13th/18th Royal Hussars.[1][5] In 1982, Abdullah was admitted to Pembroke College, Oxford, where he completed a one-year Special Studies course in Middle Eastern Affairs. Upon returning home, he joined the Royal Jordanian Army, serving as an officer in the 40th Armored Brigade, and undergoing a parachuting and freefall course. In 1985, he attended the Armored Officer's Advanced Course at Fort Knox, and in 1986, he became commander of a tank company in the 91st Armored Brigade, holding the rank of Captain.[6] He also served with the Royal Jordanian Air Force in its Anti-Tank Wing, where he was trained to fly Cobra attack helicopters.[7]

On 13 December 2013 in the 2013 Middle East cold snap in Amman he helped to push a car which was stuck in deep snow in a street.[46]
He is also a fan of stand-up comedian Russell Peters, granting him an audience in 2009 and inviting him for dinner.[45]
King Abdullah II has an interest in the internet and information technology, and commented on two Jordanian blogs that discussed his interview with the Petra News Agency: the Black Iris and the newspaper daily Ad-Dustor.[44]
His interest in the film industry has also influenced his decision to create the Red Sea Institute of Cinematic Arts in the Red Sea coastal town of Aqaba, in partnership with the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts on 20 September 2006.[43] When the producers of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen chose to film in Jordan, he called on 38 military helicopters to help transport equipment into Petra.
He is a fan of the science fiction series Star Trek. In 1996, while still a prince, he appeared briefly in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Investigations" in a non-speaking role, as he is not a member of the Screen Actors Guild.[40] A Star Trek theme park is planned to open in 2020[41] as part of the $1.5-billion The Red Sea Astrarium (TRSA) project in Aqaba, with the King being the majority local investor.[42]
King Abdullah attended Deerfield Academy in his youth, and in appreciation of the schooling he received, he has created King's Academy, a sister institution, in Jordan. He hired Deerfield Headmaster Eric Widmer to lead it, along with many other Deerfield staff. Prior to Deerfield, King Abdullah attended Eaglebrook School. He is the Colonel-in-Chief of the UK Light Dragoons regiment;[39] his previous connection to the unit includes his service as a Troop Leader in the 13th/18th Royal Hussars.
Prince Ali bin Al Hussein, one of his brothers and president of the Jordan Football Association, has claimed that King Abdullah is the biggest fan of the Jordan national football team. King Abdullah himself was a former president of the football association until he assumed his father's throne and became King of Jordan and was succeeded by Prince Ali.
King Abdullah has listed sky diving, rally racing, scuba diving, football, and science fiction among his interests and hobbies. He promotes tourism in Jordan, having served as a tour guide for Discovery Channel travel host Peter Greenberg in the "Jordan: The Royal Tour".[37] In the program the king notes that since assuming the throne, he is no longer permitted to sky dive. King Abdullah also likes motorcycles, and toured Northern California on a Harley-Davidson in July 2010.[38]

Family and personal life
In August 2014 the Jordanian government announced that it would ask parliament to approve two constitutional amendments giving King Abdullah sole authority to appoint the head of the armed forces and director of the kingdom's General Intelligence Department (GID). Almost three years earlier, in October 2011, in response to public protests calling for political reforms, King Abdullah II had approved a number of constitutional amendments that curtailed some of his powers and allowed for the creation of a Constitutional Court and an Independent Elections Commission.[36]
Increased powers
This followed reports of ISIS activity inside Jordan itself, at two rallies in Ma'an tens of protesters took it to the street raising their fists while waving home-made banners bearing the logo and inscriptions of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and shouted, "Down, down with Abdullah," the king of Jordan.[33] Supporters of Islamic State in Jordan is extremely low and even might have become non-existent after the murder of the Jordanian pilot Muath Al-Kasasbeh by the Islamic State in February 2015.[34][35]
Speaking about the unrest in Syria and Iraq, Abdullah II told a delegation of US congressmen on 29 June 2014 that he fears the turmoil in Iraq could spill over into the entire region. He added that any solution to the problems in the war-torn country must involve all of the people of Iraq. Abdullah's comments put him at odds with Israel on Iraq's future. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had called for full independence for Iraq's northern Kurdish region, echoing earlier statements by President Shimon Peres. Abdullah's comments came as the Iraqi army continued to attack jihadist forces that had recently seized large areas of the country north of Baghdad. In the biggest operation at the time against the Islamic State, troops backed by tanks and helicopter gunships battled to retake the city of Tikrit.[32]
Regional unrest
In 2010, King Abdullah proposed a World Interfaith Harmony Week at the UN, to promote a culture of peace; the elimination of all forms of intolerance and discrimination based on religion or belief; and the promotion of interreligious dialogue.[1]
On 20 January 2007, King Abdullah revealed to Haaretz that Jordan has plans to develop nuclear power for internal energy purposes because unlike other countries in the region Jordan has almost no oil.[30] Jordan is one of the few non-petroleum producing nations in the region and is strategically dependent on oil from its neighbor, Iraq. Continuing civil unrest in Iraq puts Jordanian national and energy security at risk. Jordan's first nuclear power plant will be ready by 2016 called Jordan Research and Training Reactor located in Jordan University of Science and Technology in Irbid which aims to train Jordanian students in the already existing Nuclear engineering program. There will be two other nuclear reactors to be completed by 2022 which will be located near Qasr Amra. In turn, the nuclear power plants will desalinate the water and pump it to northern Jordan. (According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Jordan is one of the poorest countries in terms of water resources.[31])
Nuclear plans for Jordan
His efforts has turned Jordan into the freest Arab economy and the 9th freest economy in the world according to an 2015 study issued by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Liberty.[29]
Under King Abdullah II, the air transport sector was liberalized. Also, King Abdullah II established six special economic zones: Aqaba, Ma'an, Mafraq, Irbid, the Dead Sea, and Ajloun. Each SEZ has its own niche which will carve a unique identity for that region of Jordan. The Aqaba SEZ is primarily devoted to tourism and industry. The Ma'an SEZ is industrial primarily with a focus on renewable energy resources especially solar energy. The world's largest solar power plant will be constructed in Ma'an. The Mafraq SEZ will become a regional hub in transport and logistics with planned air, road, and rail connections to neighboring countries. The Irbid SEZ is adjacent to the Jordan University of Science and Technology and it will focus on scientific and medical facilities. The recently launched Dead Sea zone will focus on tourism and entertainment. The Ajloun SEZ consists of 24 proposed tourism projects, including a 2,000 dunum tourism city that will comprise 900 hotel rooms, restaurants, and other entertainment facilities with environmental considerations.
Jordan has embarked on an aggressive economic liberalization program under King Abdullah II in an effort to stimulate the economy and raise the standard of living. Jordan's economic growth peaked at 8 percent in 2004 and has been averaging at 7 percent. King Abdullah II has liberalized the telecommunications sector and has implemented an ICT curriculum into Jordan's education system. This has made Jordan's telecommunications sector the most competitive in the region. King Abdullah called on the government to lower internet prices in an effort to increase internet penetration to 50% by 2010. He is also very involved in promoting Jordan's tourism sector, especially with the establishment of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone.

Economic liberalization
Elections were held in November 2010, and following the Arab Spring in 2011, a new prime minister was appointed. In June 2011 the King announced a move to a British style of Cabinet Government but it is still under debate. In 2015, the one vote system was introduced which aims according to the Jordanian government to revive the political, democratic and parliamentary life in Jordan.[28]
In 2005 [27] Thus far, however, democratic development has been limited, with the monarchy maintaining most power and its allies dominating parliament.
Democracy in Jordan
On 28 November 2004, Abdullah removed the title of crown prince from his half-brother, Hamzah, whom he had appointed on 7 February 1999, in accordance with their father's wishes. In a letter from Abdullah to Hamzah, read on Jordanian state television, he said, "Your holding this symbolic position has restrained your freedom and hindered our entrusting you with certain responsibilities that you are fully qualified to undertake." No successor to the title was named at that time, but it was anticipated that Abdullah intended to appoint formally his own son and new heir apparent, Prince Hussein, as crown prince.[25] Hussein was granted the title on 2 July 2009.[26]
See Line of succession to the Jordanian throne.
Abdullah has made women's rights an important part of his dynasty.[1]
King Abdullah has a strong belief in a powerful military and has led Jordan into adopting a "quality over quantity" policy. This policy has led Jordan to acquire advanced weaponry and greatly increase and enhance its F-16 fighter jet fleet.[23] The ground forces have acquired the Challenger 1 main battle tank,[24] a vehicle far superior to the T-72/55 tanks that have traditionally dominated Arab armies.
In March 2007, Ehud Olmert commented on any American withdrawal from Iraq by saying that: "Israel is worried a hasty American withdrawal from Iraq could have negative impact on the Hashemite regime in Jordan..." Jordan's spokesman Nasser Jawdeh replied by saying: "The Israeli prime minister should worry about his political future before worrying about us."[22]
Major General Yair Naveh, GOC of the Israel Defense Forces Homefront Command and former GOC of Israeli Central Command, said in a gathering with reporters that King Abdullah might fall and that he could be Jordan's last king. The statement created tension between the two countries, and afterwards Naveh retracted his statement and apologized.[19] Later, the Israeli prime minister Olmert expressed the disagreement of Israel with Naveh's statement, and referred to it as a personal and irrelevant view.[20][21]
Abdullah II in a meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama, 21 April 2009, in Washington, D.C.
Jordan received criticism when Toujan al-Faisal, Jordan's first female member of Parliament and an outspoken advocate for freedom of expression and human rights, was jailed for slandering the government after she charged it with corruption in a letter to Abdullah.[18] She was pardoned and released by King Abdullah. Despite these events, King Abdullah has continued his aggressive liberalization of Jordan's media. He recently issued a declaration forbidding detention of journalists in Jordan.
King Abdullah II has worked for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, attending the Arab Summit in 2002, OIC conferences and having several summits with US, Israeli and Palestinian delegations to find a solution for the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. On 6 December 2012, King Abdullah traveled to the West Bank to visit the Palestinian Authority, becoming the first head of state to visit the territory after it was accepted as a non-member observer state to the United Nations.[17]
The King announced on 2 March 2007 municipal elections in Jordan and in 25 November 2006 in his parliament address, told the parliament to work on reforms of the press and publication law.[16]
Abdullah's speech at The Catholic University of America's Columbus School of Law in September 2005 was entitled "Traditional Islam: The Path to Peace." While en route to the United States, King Abdullah met with Pope Benedict XVI to build on the relations that Jordan had established with Pope John Paul II to discuss ways in which Muslims and Christians can continue to work together for peace, tolerance, and coexistence.
In 2008, King Abdullah began his Decent Housing for Decent Living campaign in which all Jordanian citizens, and Palestinian refugees, will be guaranteed residential housing with access to community needs such as health, education, and community activities.
Jordan's economy has improved since Abdullah ascended to the throne in 1999, and he has been credited with increasing foreign investment, improving public-private partnerships, and providing the foundation for Aqaba's free trade zone and Jordan's flourishing ICT sector. He also set up five other special economic zones: Irbid, Ajloun, Mafraq, Ma'an and the Dead Sea. As a result of these reforms, Jordan's economic growth has doubled to 6% annually under King Abdullah's rule compared to the latter half of the 1990s.[13] Foreign direct investment from the West as well as the countries of the Persian Gulf has continued to increase.[14] He also negotiated a free trade agreement with the United States, which was the third free trade agreement for the U.S. and the first with an Arab country.[15]
King Abdullah II is the head of a constitutional monarchy in which the king retains substantial power. In 2010, he was chosen as the fourth most influential Muslim in the world.[12]

Politics as king
A few hours after the announcement of his father's death, Abdullah went before an emergency session of the Jordanian National Assembly. Wearing a red-and-white Keffiyeh, Abdullah entered the parliament to quiet applause from senators and assemblymen, some weeping. Hussein's two brothers, Hassan and Mohammed, walked ahead of him. Abdullah stood in front of a portrait of Hussein at-attention, drawing more applause. He then spoke in Arabic the oath taken by Hussein almost fifty years before; "I swear by Almighty Allah to uphold the constitution and to be faithful to the nation". Zaid al-Rifai, speaker of the House of Notables (Senate), opened the session with Al-Fatiha, the opening Sura (chapter) of the Quran. His voice cracked with emotion as he led the recitation. "Allah, save his majesty," "Allah, give him advice and take care of him."[11]
Abdullah became king on 7 February 1999, upon the death of his father King Hussein. Hussein had recently named him crown prince on 24 January, changing the constitution and replacing Hussein's brother Hassan, who had served many years in the position (nearly 34 years, from 1965 to 1999). His namesake is King Abdullah I, his great grandfather who founded modern Jordan.[10]
In the 1960s, King Hussein had arranged for the throne to pass to his brother and then to his son Prince Ali bin Al Hussein, but he later decided to change his mind. He seriously considered appointing one of his nephews as heir, but on his deathbed, on 25 January 1999, he named Abdullah as his heir.[9]
In 1993, he assumed command of Jordan's special forces and became a Major General in May 1998.

JSI Promotes Two Senior Engineering Vice Presidents
Senior Ranks Expand in Response to Unprecedented Market Opportunities, Organizational Changes
January 4, 2022, Greenbelt, MD: JSI announced today the promotion of two senior members of the company's industry-leading engineering team: Vance Gadd has been named Senior Vice President of Fiber Network Design and Implementation, and Tom Lewis has been named Senior Vice President of Broadband IP Network Design and Management, effective immediately.
"Vance and Tom are widely respected industry veterans, with several decades' worth of experience between them," JSI CEO Tasos Tsolakis said in making this announcement. "Our company is exceptionally fortunate to have two experts of their caliber under the same roof, particularly at this critical juncture when so many of our clients are trying to take advantage of the unprecedented state and federal resources available for the expansion and maintenance of broadband networks in the United States."
Prior to this announcement, Vance worked for more than 34 years as a project engineer and then Vice President of Design/OSP Engineering at the premier engineering firm Mid-State Consultants, Inc., which was acquired by JSI in August 2021. Tom has 30 years of telecom engineering experience, and most recently, he served for 16 years as the Vice President of Engineering for N-Com, Inc., a full-service engineering firm focused on rural telecommunications companies, utilities, and government agencies, which JSI acquired in September 2020.
In their new roles, Vance will lead outside plant activities across all divisions of the company, and Tom will lead all broadband IP activities, while also working with other key members of the JSI team on product innovation initiatives.
Commenting on the two promotions, Tasos noted that these changes had been made not only to respond to the ever-increasing demands within the broadband market, but to further enhance JSI's senior engineering ranks as two other members of the company's engineering team begin different professional transitions of their own.
"Steve Kidd, President of Mid-State Consultants, has decided to officially begin his retirement on January 30, 2022, which he graciously agreed to postpone last year in order to lead the company through its post-acquisition transition period," Tasos said. "During his tenure at Mid-State Consultants, Steve oversaw the company's successful transformation into one of the undisputed leaders in outside plant engineering in the United States. We are grateful that he has agreed to continue providing advice on an as-needed basis, even after his official retirement date."
"Also, Dennis Wisdom, President of N-Com, has decided to transition into a new role as JSI's Innovation Leader for Broadband Services, effective January 1, 2022," Tasos added. "Dennis has been the innovation engine behind many of N-Com's leading IP network services products, so we are excited that he has decided to continue spearheading those efforts, while working with our team and our customers on a part-time basis."
After transitioning into their new roles, Vance will continue to be based in JSI's office in Nephi, Utah, and Tom and Dennis will remain in the company's Lubbock, Texas office.
JSI is a full-service consulting firm and broadband solutions leader, providing a complete range of financial, engineering, management, operational, regulatory, and strategic assistance to independent, community-based communications providers. For 60 years, JSI's business knowledge, experience, and demonstrated record of success have helped its clients plan and realize long-term success and profitability. JSI has relationships with approximately 750 communications entities in 46 states and several US territories. Headquartered in Greenbelt, Maryland, JSI also has offices in Alaska, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin.

VANCOUVER ISLAND, B.C. – The struggle is real for drivers in Vancouver Island and beyond who are dealing with a shocking spike in gas prices.
In Nanaimo, gas prices are up to 151-9 while on the Sunshine Coast a litre will cost you as much as 159-9.
But islanders can take some solace in the fact that they don't have to drive in Metro Vancouver.
GasBuddy senior petroleum analyst Dan McTeague predicted that gas prices in Metro Vancouver will hit an all-time high on Friday, at a whopping $1.68.9 per litre for regular unleaded.
Pile on an increase in taxes, including carbon taxes, and we're in record territory in some parts of the province.
McTeague noted that two of the reasons behind the higher gas prices are the switch over to more expensive summer gasoline and a one percent increase in the carbon tax.
But there are other factors at play, according to McTeague.
This is causing a real squeeze in inventory, McTeague said.
Gas is barged to the island from Vancouver and mostly from Washington State, where wholesale prices have jumped almost 80 cents a gallon in Canadian dollars.
McTeague said the price hike isn't the work of stations, refineries, or gas companies. He said it is entirely market driven.
"That's costing the Canadian dollar dramatically. Just chalk it up to B.C. politics," McTeague said.
McTeague predicts that the gas prices will hold this weekend before backing off by a penny or so just a bit before Easter, as the Washington State refineries come off line.


CompendiumLD http://compendiumld.open.ac.uk/ is a software tool for designing learning activities using a flexible visual interface. It is being developed as a tool to support lecturers, teachers and others involved in education to help them articulate their ideas and map out the design or learning sequence. Feedback from users suggests the process of visualising design makes their design ideas more explicit and highlights issues that they may not have noticed otherwise. It also provides a useful means of representing their designs so that they can be shared with others. CompendiumLD provides a set of icons to represent the components of learning activities; these icons may be dragged and dropped, then connected to form a map representing a learning activity.

Terri received her MFA from the University of the Arts and her BFA from Moore College of Art and Design. She currently teaches a variety of Studio Arts courses at The Agnes Irwin School, in Rosemont, PA. The school was founded in 1869 by Agnes Irwin, the first Dean of Radcliffe College and the great-great granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin. The legacy of excellence in all-girls' education has been evident for over a century and continues to enable girls and young women to achieve their best.
Terri has been a member and Press Coordinator of Tiger Strikes Asteroid Gallery in Philadelphia since 2010. Tiger Strikes Asteroid is a network of artist-run spaces with locations in Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Each space is independently operated and focuses on presenting a varied program of emerging and mid-career artists. The gallery's goal is to collectively bring people together, expand connections and build community through artist-initiated exhibitions, projects, and curatorial opportunities. They seek to further empower the artist's role beyond that of studio practitioner to include the roles of curator, critic, and community developer; and to act as an alternate model to the conventions of the current commercial art market.
Tiger Strikes Asteroid's exhibitions and projects have been featured in numerous print and online publications including The New York Times, Art F City, Hyperallergic, The Huffington Post, L Magazine, Whitehot Magazine, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Two Coats of Paint, Artinfo, Artnet News, Beautiful Decay, and the artblog.
Terri's "mice en place" of interests in biology, botany, classical music, geology, and gastronomy guide her construction. She builds delicate, alternating smooth and densely textured, porcelain sculptures. They are physical explorations of philosophical ideas. Without beginning or end, the sculptures suggest forms from nature but, just as easily, they mimic the branching, burrowing, nonhierarchical structure of the internet. She photographs the forms in various stages of production. The forms and photos become her still life. The system of distilled information provides an elastic and infinitely expandable language that fuel future drawings, prints and sculpture.

AITX's Subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices Receives Multiple ROSA Order from Premier Protective Security
Detroit, Michigan, August 25, 2022 — Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., (OTCPK:AITX), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD) has received an order for two ROSA security robots from Premier Protective Security. Premier Protective Security is a minority-owned security personnel management company with nationwide engagement.
The two ROSAs will be deployed at one of the nation's leading travel center operators, positioned to provide security for one travel center's RV storage yards. ROSA has been well received by gas stations, convenience stores and other small retail operators for its unparalleled ability to detect and deter instances of trespassing and loitering without the need for manned guarding assistance.
"Raleigh and his team at Premier Protective Security have done a terrific job in positioning RAD solutions at several of their clients," said Mark Folmer, President at RAD. "These two ROSAs will provide security at one travel center location, and act as a showcase for executives of the travel center company to experience first-hand how well they perform. We expect to deploy a total of six ROSAs at this one site within a few months. The end-user has over five-hundred locations nationwide, which is why we have great expectations going forward."
"ROSA continues its inevitable march towards dominance in the security services space," said Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX. "We've been actively expanding ROSA's capabilities and soon we'll announce extensions to ROSA that will greatly broaden its marketable reach and position it in a very high-volume sector," Reinharz added.
RAD's parent company AITX has filed for uplisting to the OTCQB. Future announcements will be made regarding the status of the OTCQB application.
ROSA is a multiple award-winning, compact, self-contained, portable, security and communication solution that can be deployed in about 15 minutes. Like other RAD solutions, it only requires power as it includes all necessary communications hardware. ROSA's AI-driven security analytics include human, firearm, vehicle detection, license plate recognition, responsive digital signage and audio messaging, and complete integration with RAD's software suite notification and autonomous response library. Two-way communication is optimized for cellular, including live video from ROSA's dual high-resolution, full-color, always-on cameras. RAD has published two Case Studies detailing how ROSA has helped eliminate instances of theft, trespassing and loitering at car rental locations and construction sites across the country.
Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD) is a high-tech start-up that delivers robotics and artificial intelligence-based solutions that empower organizations to gain new insight, solve complex security challenges, and fuel new business ideas at reduced costs. RAD developed its advanced security robot technology from the ground up including circuit board design, and base code development. This allows RAD to have complete control over all design elements, performance, quality, and the user's experience of all security robots whether SCOT™, ROSA™, Wally™, Wally HSO™, AVA™, ROAMEO™, CASSIE™, RIO™, or RAD Light My Way™.. Read about how RAD is reinventing the security services industry by downloading the Autonomous Remote Services Industry Manifesto, and request a copy of the recently published 'Navigating the New Economy: Jobs & Automation, Challenges & Opportunities'.

When he surveys the Mets' minor league system, Jim Duquette will see the same hitters repeat the same mistakes. One hitter opens up too quickly in his swing. Another continues to roll his wrists and pull weak grounders on outside pitches.
Two winters ago, Duquette met with Tony Abbatine, a former player agent who left the business in 1993 to concentrate on his passion: finding out why hitters don't hit. Abbatine explained his theory of visual mechanics, and it seemed to Duquette like a worthwhile approach to share with the Mets' minor leaguers.
Abbatine has worked with Mets prospects at spring training the past two years. He is the director of instruction for a New York-based company that works with hitters at all levels. The Mets use him as an adviser and troubleshooter for the hitters in their system, making the Mets one of only a handful of teams, Duquette said, that teaches visual mechanics to their players.
Abbatine's instruction has worked for some hitters, including Marvin Seale, an outfielder who hit .220 in rookie ball in 1998 and .233 one level higher in 1999. After working with Abbatine in March 2000, Seale made a substantial jump, batting .291 at Class A Capital City and winning the Doubleday Award as the best player on the team.
Seale remembered Abbatine telling him to watch for the pitch the same way he would watch TV, and Seale used the "TV face" at the plate to improved results.
Abbatine has not worked with the Mets' major leaguers, but he has shared his approach with Manager Bobby Valentine, the team's former hitting coach Tom Robson and the current hitting coach, Dave Engle. Valentine has not seen the techniques applied in practice, but he believes in the importance of pitch recognition and, with General Manager Steve Phillips, has been receptive to the unconventional.
"It's cutting-edge stuff that baseball's been reluctant to do," Duquette said. "The way baseball is, in general, it's a rather conservative industry where people tend to shun new ideas or push them aside because you're comfortable with your old ideas.

I can't figure out what's going on here.

I saw that documentary once, it was less disturbing in the original.
Actual headline

No, really. I would just like to point out that I cannot photoshop very well so it would be obvious if I did this.
A festival in Ohio is trying to make it okay for women to go topless.
an injunction against law enforcement agencies from punishing women for going topless at the popular event.
According to organizers, state liquor agents with the Ohio Investigative Unit have allegedly threatened to file charges against ComFest or shut down alcohol sales at the festival if topless women are allowed to attend and remain at the festival.
Being a titty man, You would think I'd be fer it but I'm agin it. Most of the women who take their tops off in public should keep them on.
I tried watching news today, CNN was going on and on about Trump denying he had tapes showing Comey to be the lying sack of shit he is. They were very indignant, all I heard was, "He Trolled Us!!!" I just flipped over and they're still going on about. Pretty darn funny.
There's just not much going on that's new or unexpected, it's all the same crap. It's funny, I never thought I 'd miss the annual, "Sharks are eating people!!!!!!!!!!!" media frenzy when people go back to the beach.
A comment at Stoaty's yesterday reminded me of this guy. Michael Moschen. I've always figured he was a math nerd who took lots of acid and became a juggler.
This is long, but it's mesmerizing. The first coupla minutes are a little slow, but once he drops the first ball it gets very impressive.
It might have an "adult content" warning, it's cuz he's wearing some weird looking, hippy loincloth.
If you want to take less time, here he is 'juggling' in a triangle.
That is freaky. There are times where it's nearly impossible to see him catch the balls, they're suddenly in his hand. Sometimes you can barely see him throw the ball, they're just suddenly careening around the triangle. Weird.
This shows a few of the things he does. If you see the part with the torches, he is holding onto them firmly not spinning them in his palm.
He does stuff that will have you yelling at the screen, YOU CAN'T DO THAT! Seriously.
He sometimes plays music by juggling. I hadn't seen this bit before, it's a different triangle
I used to have Moschen In Motion on VHS, but I can't find it. I'd like to get it on DVD. It was very cool.
That appears to be most of it, but it's more than 30 minutes. It's very entertaining if you're into that sort of thing.
I've tried not to use the word "mesmerizing", but that's the one that describes him. I kept finding a grin on my face as I watched him.
I'm Gonna Post But You Can't Make Me Believe It
Same Shit. It's A Different Day, Right?

Q: 400 Error. Recipient address required. curl I used Gmail API with curl.(
Users.messages: send)
But I recieve Error 400 recipient address required.
Command
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer *****" -H "Content-Type:message/rfc822" -d "{'raw':'Encoded Value'}" "https://www.googleapis.com/upload/gmail/v1/users/me/messages/send"

Response
{
   "error": {
     "errors": [
        {
         "domain": "global",
         "reason": "invalidArgument",
         "message": "Recipient address required"
       }
     ],
     "code": 400,
     "message": "Recipient address required"
   }
 }

The encoded value was created by the following python script.
import base64
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.utils import formatdate

MAIL_FROM = "example@gmail.com"
MAIL_TO = "example@gmail.com"

def create_message():
    message = MIMEText("Gmail body: Hello world!")
    message["from"] = MAIL_FROM
    message["to"] = MAIL_TO
    message["subject"] = "gmail api test"
    message["Date"] = formatdate(localtime=True)

    byte_msg = message.as_string().encode(encoding="UTF-8")
    byte_msg_b64encoded = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(byte_msg)
    str_msg_b64encoded = byte_msg_b64encoded.decode(encoding="UTF-8")

    return {"raw": str_msg_b64encoded}

print(create_message())

A: When the messages are sent by the media upload requests using https://www.googleapis.com/upload/gmail/v1/users/me/messages/send, the request body is required to be created as follows. I modified your python script for creating the request body. Please confirm it.
Modified python script :
import base64
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.utils import formatdate

MAIL_FROM = "example@gmail.com"
MAIL_TO = "example@gmail.com"

def encode(v):
    byte_msg = v.encode(encoding="UTF-8")
    byte_msg_b64encoded = base64.b64encode(byte_msg)
    return byte_msg_b64encoded.decode(encoding="UTF-8")

def create_message():
    message = "To: " + MAIL_TO + "\n"
    message += "From: " + MAIL_FROM + "\n"
    message += "Subject: =?utf-8?B?" + encode("gmail api test") + "?=\n"
    message += "Date: " + formatdate(localtime=True) + "\n"
    message += "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=boundaryboundary\n\n"
    message += "--boundaryboundary\n"
    message += "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
    message += "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n"
    message += encode("Hello world!") + "\n\n"
    message += "--boundaryboundary"
    return message

print(create_message())

Result :
To: example@gmail.com
From: example@gmail.com
Subject: =?utf-8?B?Z21haWwgYXBpIHRlc3Q=?=
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2018 01:23:45 +0100

Please save above request body to a file as a text file. As a sample, the filename is sample.txt.
Important point :
Here, please be careful the place of "EOF" of the file. Please don't break after the last --boundaryboundary. If it breaks after the last --boundaryboundary, the body is not received. The image is as follows.

Curl command :
curl -s -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer *****" \
  -H "Content-Type: message/rfc822" \
  --data-binary "@sample.txt" \
  "https://www.googleapis.com/upload/gmail/v1/users/me/messages/send"

It posts sample.txt as the binary data.
Result :
{
 "id": "#####",
 "threadId": "#####",
 "labelIds": [
  "UNREAD",
  "SENT",
  "INBOX"
 ]
}

*This is a very simple sample, so please modify this to your environment.

*This answer supposes that your access token can be used for this situation. If the error related to the access token occurs, please check the scopes.

If I misunderstand your question, I'm sorry.

A: I would like to give my thanks to the other answers which were helpful. My use case required me to use the user's access token obtained from Gmail and respond back to a given message thread.
In this, I had to modify the above answer given by Tanaike to the following.

Jim Abbott writes, "This poem was inspired by 2 things, A) the title [ Kindred Souls] was used in the lyrics of a Bob Seger song from a few years back, and those 2 words really struck a cord with me. And B) and most important, I am a fiercely proud unionist, a loyal, card carrying member of United Auto Workers local 155.
At our union meetings, as well as in our monthly UAW magazine, Solidarity, we always talk about how us union folk are united. How we are as one, with a common goal, fighting for a common cause. We talk of being a brotherhood. We speak of our fellow union members as being brothers and sisters. And this is something that I wish we also did within the stuttering community. I truly feel that we, as PWS, are indeed a brotherhood. We all have a common bond, something special that connects us. And quite honestly, the feeling of camaraderie that I experienced with my stuttering brothers and sisters at the Chicago convention was stronger than any I have ever felt with my union brethren. Perhaps because our stuttering bond is more emotional, forged deeply into our very beings, whereas with my fellow union workers, it is a ideological bond, based on our beliefs and a common goal. The brotherhood that exists among PWS is what I tried to explore in this poem.
This poem deals with the mutual feelings that PWS share, more so than it does with the act of stuttering itself. In fact, I didn't notice until I was finished with it, but I didn't mention the word stuttering once. First time I've ever done that. Anyway, here it is.Hope you like it."
And our sorrowful chants of "why me"?
Why were we chosen to partake of this journey?
