"To get away with dog-whistle antisemitism and at the same time in the chase for votes shamelessly exploit Jewish fears is quite something."
Antony Lerman
Leader of the House of Commons Jacob Rees-Mogg and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Michael Gove arrive for Cabinet meeting on 29 October, 2019.

In calmer times, I like to think, a senior, mainstream politician's ostensible expression of concern for the security of the UK's Jewish population which at its core contained the antisemitic assumption that all Jews are rich, would have been exposed for its hypocrisy.
But such times are a receding memory. General alarm and media concurrence, rather than reasoned scepticism, met Tory Party chairman James Cleverly's comment in a Sunday Telegraph interview that Jewish 'individuals and groups, including entrepreneurs and other business figures' – people he had known 'much of my life' – were planning to leave the country if Labour won the forthcoming General Election. The paper's front page editors didn't hesitate before turning the people Cleverly knows into an unlimited number in their banner headline: 'Jews will leave if Corbyn wins' – a statement that, given the paper's leading role in fanning the flames of a nasty English nationalism, could easily be read as assuming that those clever rootless cosmopolitans, interested only in turning a profit for themselves, can shift their assets and homes around the globe at will.
The paper's front page editors didn't hesitate before turning the people Cleverly knows into an unlimited number in their banner headline: 'Jews will leave if Corbyn wins'.
Michael Gove then took to social media to urge Jeremy Corbyn and some of his high-profile supporters to condemn a tweet from a user claiming to be a member of Labour and Momentum, saying 'we can't trust Jews'. Both organisations confirmed that the account 'Joe Woods #JC4PM' did not belong to any of their members. Mr Gove was attempting to 'smear us through association', Momentum said. It seems that cabinet ministers are licensed to say anything outrageously untrue to smear Jeremy Corbyn and Labour as anti-Semitic, and that Jews are just fodder for the Tory propaganda machine.
Were Cleverly and Gove more concerned, they might have stepped up when Jacob Rees-Mogg in the Commons Brexit debate on 3 September, castigated Sir Oliver Letwin and Speaker John Bercow for blocking Brexit. Here was a man who prides himself on his unparalleled and comprehensive knowledge of the meaning of words, referring to two fellow Tories of Jewish background, as 'Illuminati who are taking powers into their own hands'. The historian of antisemitism, UCL's Michael Berkowitz, pointed out that this was a stereotype of 'Jewish criminality' – an antisemitic trope – used by the Nazis and their accomplices. Yet Rees-Mogg made no apology for this smear and when Boris Johnson and other senior Tories were asked to condemn him, they were silent.
But even I am tempted to say – Who can blame them? – when the weaponisation of anti-semitism has become commonplace, for reasons that have very little to do with serious concern for the welfare of all Jews. And when Jewish leaders have been conniving in the stoking of Jewish fears. As it happens, the Cleverley intervention hit the headlines immediately after the Jewish Chronicle gave front page coverage to a letter senior Reform Rabbi Jonathan Romain wrote to his entire Maidenhead congregation, warning them that a 'Corbyn-led government would pose a danger to Jewish life as we know it . . . whether it be utterances that cause Jews to feel victimised, less secure and no longer at ease . . . or maybe even legislation that restricts Jewish life or relations with Israel in some way, then you may wish to vote to ensure that Labour does not gain your local seat.'
The weaponisation of anti-semitism has become commonplace, for reasons that have very little to do with serious concern for the welfare of all Jews.
JC's editor, Stephen Pollard, whose hawkish exaggeration of the threat of antisemitism pre-dates Jeremy Corbyn's election as Labour leader by many years, was given a platform by the Sunday Telegraph to double down on the fearmongering. Labour's 'so-called moderates [have chosen to] throw Britain's Jews under a bus. . . . The simple truth is that every Labour member who campaigns for their party to win is sticking two fingers up to Britain's Jews.' The piece is a sad reprise of Pollard's 'Greatest Hits' album. In it, he cites the 47 per cent of Jews in a Survation poll who said they would 'seriously consider' emigrating if Labour won, the 87 per cent of Jews who say Corbyn is antisemitic, the 88 per cent of potential Labour voters who say 'Labour's antisemitism is not a problem' and a list of unsubstantiated examples of Corbyn's own alleged expressions and legitimization of antisemitism.
Pollard simply does not understand why his Jeremiads about Labour have not resulted in the Party's demise or the demise of Corbyn, even though the truth is staring him in the face. This has been a matter of self-fulfilling prophecy. He is responsible, together with Jewish establishment leaders and deeply misguided politicians for leading the charge in generating, justifying and encouraging such reported sentiment among Jews. If you keep banging on about the threat to Jewish life from a mass-membership party, especially at a time when there is widespread confusion about what constitutes antisemitism, it's absurd to be shocked when some people seem to want to leave the country. The shock comes tinged with a kind of self-congratulatory triumphalism.
From Pollard, one expects such irresponsible ravings. But Rabbi Romain, in my experience, is different: he has been a liberal, progressive and balanced voice, never taking part in moral panics. How is it then that he doesn't give a moment's thought to the many thousands of non-Jewish constituents in his parish who during ten long years of austerity have suffered at Tory hands, from poverty, deprivation, discrimination, a struggling NHS and watching billions of pounds that could have been invested in social care, poured down the Brexit plughole? These are the people who might understandably and finally look in hope for the brighter future promised in the policies of a reforming and transformative Labour government. People who simply haven't got the luxury of dreaming about some better bolthole to which they can escape. Since when has it been kosher for Jews to abandon social responsibility in favour of selfishness grounded in baseless fears? (Thankfully, at least one of his fellow rabbis, Howard Cooper of the Finchley Reform synagogue, has called Romain out.)
Since when has it been kosher for Jews to abandon social responsibility in favour of selfishness grounded in baseless fears?
The growing numbers of far-right, white supremacist and neo-Nazi extremists in the UK must be delighted at this state of affairs: Jews, the Tory leadership, much of the mainstream media are combining to do their work for them. With friends like Cleverly, Gove and the deeply confused former Labour MP John Mann who sees no irony in being appointed 'Antisemitism Tsar' by Boris Johnson, we Jews don't need enemies.
Given powerful living memory of the collective trauma of the Holocaust and the decades and centuries of persecution that preceded it, it's not surprising that invoking current existential danger might turn our thoughts instinctively towards a safer haven. But is it mature, considered, wise leadership to both generate and promote the notion that Jews in the UK are on the brink of being subjected to a Yellow Star regime? To do this uncritically? Yet this is what Romain, Pollard and many other senior communal figures, on Twitter and elsewhere, are either doing or implying they agree with. When the president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, Marie van der Zyl told us in August 2018, that 'Corbyn has declared war on the Jews', what else are we expected to think?
Reasons for feeling secure
The recently published co-authored book Bad News for Labour: Antisemitism, the Party and Public Belief, to which I contributed a chapter, has revealed the stark contrast between public perceptions of the scale of the problem of antisemitism in Labour and the evidence-based reality. A national Survation poll showed that on average people believed that a third of Labour Party members had been reported for antisemitism, when the actual figure was far less than 1 per cent. The book clearly states that 'the issue of antisemitism in the Labour Party should not be minimised', but that there was no 'army of antisemites' (Sunday Times headline 7 April 2019) and that the party is not 'riddled' with antisemitism.
Mistakes have been made in tackling the problem, but these are largely to do with institutional dysfunction. They are not evidence of institutional racism. Rabbis and sensible leaders do not have to be supporters of the Labour Party to understand that in the worsening climate of racism both here and abroad, it's vital that a party that has been in the forefront of fighting racism for decades should be given positive encouragement to renew its role. As the book's academic authors conclude: 'the constant attacks for other purposes on its leader and the traducing of the membership as a whole is in the end counterproductive. It weakens the forces on which all minorities including Jewish people will depend for their security in the conflicts that lie ahead' (188). It may be a tough struggle stemming the tide of moral panic and collective hysteria among many Jews in the UK, but in standing one's ground, rather than feeding feelings of insecurity, working together across communities and not being seduced by the notion of Jews as 'a people that dwells alone', it can be done.
It's vital that a party that has been in the forefront of fighting racism for decades should be given positive encouragement to renew its role.
When you look soberly across the world, is the idea of flight to safety realistic? In the United States, 11 Jews were murdered by a neo-Nazi in their synagogue in Pittsburg in 2018, the President promotes white supremacism, defends antisemites, stokes enmity against minorities and attacks liberal Jewish critics of Israel as false Jews. In Israel, 7 Israeli citizens were killed in the West Bank in 2018, your children could be put in harm's way if eligible to serve in the Israel Defence Forces and you would be choosing a society seeking to maintain a Jewish majority in perpetuity in the entire Israel-Palestine area by restricting and denying the rights of the Palestinians. In France, Jews have been murdered in recent years just for being Jews and, although no one knows exact figures, a flow of Jews to other countries, particularly Israel, has been under way for some time. But many are returning to France in greater numbers thanks to the pull of their French identity, which allows for their Jewish faith to be treated as a private matter, in contrast to that of a society where religion plays a central public-political role and values are very different from those in France. The rise of far-right populism, nativist nationalism and a backlash against immigrants is common to so many countries, it is morally indefensible to give credence to flight. Moreover, it only validates the antisemitic charge: Jews don't belong.
How is it that the manifest virtues of life in the UK for British Jews are so lightly discarded by the likes of Rabbi Romain in the face of a confected threat? This isn't a question of degree, as if there were a certain percentage chance of Labour in government singling out Jews for discriminatory treatment, official abuse, the denial of rights, the suppression of Jewish religious practice, the imposition of a pernicious tax regime targeting Jews – whatever Pollard's febrile imagination envisages. This kind of speculation is bizarre and completely without foundation. Were a Labour government to pursue a foreign policy more critical of Israeli human rights abuses and more focused on securing equal rights for the Palestinians, surely British Jews who object to such a move know full well that engaging in discussion and reasoned argument through the political process is the sensible way of making their views known, rather than levelling accusations of antisemitism at the policy-makers.
Moreover they are simply ignoring the strong countervailing forces against antisemitism in the UK – financial support for security at Jewish institutions; very close ties between the Community Security Trust, the private Jewish charity monitoring and combating antisemitism on behalf of the organised community, and the government and police; an official willingness to adopt and propagate the so-called 'new' IHRA definition of antisemitism (a deeply flawed document in my view) notwithstanding little inclination to do the same for Islamophobia; the funding and construction of a new Holocaust memorial and education centre right next to parliament in Westminster; the media's widespread and continued sensitivity to the issue of antisemitism; and the freedom Jews enjoy to express their religious and cultural Jewishness. To ignore this is to fail to recognize that there is probably no place more secure for Jews anywhere else in the world.
There is probably no place more secure for Jews anywhere else in the world.
There is really no excuse for the lachrymose exceptionalism James Cleverly would have us embrace for the grubby purpose of giving the Tories electoral advantage. Now more than ever, at this decisive moment in the country's history, we should be looking beyond the selfish obsessions of so many religious and secular Jewish leaders and focusing on the needs of others, recognising the continued reality of anti-Black racism, the pervasiveness of Islamophobia – the truth, as Fope Olaleye reminded us in the Guardian on 28 October – that racism is about power, not a perception of negative sentiment that only the group affected is supposedly allowed to define.
Our fellow citizens
Not that Pollard shows any signs of ceasing to serve the Tories' interests. As if it were not more than enough that he preaches to Jews about how they should be voting, he has devoted the front page of the 8 November JC to addressing a similar message to 'all our fellow British citizens'. He essentially asks them to believe the calumny that Jeremy Corbyn is a racist and that putting him in No. 10 would send a stark message to Jews that their 'dismay' and 'fears of where that will lead, are irrelevant', that they 'count for nothing'. So it's not enough to insult the intelligence of the Jews he purports to defend: he's now repeating the affront in his appeal to the wider population.
These are divisive, bitter and angry times, but we must be vigilant against the unconscious use of antisemitic stereotyping to demonstrate concern for Jews. It's been happening a lot recently. Other minorities experience a similar racist framing, for example: 'concern' for the state of fatherless black families, as the 'cause' of the disproportionate involvement of black youth in knife crime; 'concern' for Muslim women subjected to conservative dress codes cited as a reason for Islamic terrorism; 'concern' for immigrants and asylum seekers who fail to learn English because they are harming their opportunities to integrate. However, whilst the framing is similar, the unconscious bias in these unfounded and therefore racist assertions is far more damaging for the groups in these examples than the unconscious Cleverly stereotyping is for Jews.
These are divisive, bitter and angry times, but we must be vigilant against the unconscious use of antisemitic stereotyping to demonstrate concern for Jews.
The current prioritising of antisemitism as a special case of racism, something sought by so many Jewish leaders, opinion-formers, public intellectuals and their non-Jewish supporters, legitimises and reinforces a privileged exceptionalism; the unconscious bias against other victims of racism leads to the reinforcement of their exclusion. The former is dangerous because it's a kind of self-inflicted othering: it may feel good in the short term, but it's not a recipe for a good Jewish future in an open and liberal society.
Tory politicians may think riding these two horses – the 'good Jews' and the 'bad others'– works for them politically. But we shouldn't allow them to get away with this divisive politics of belonging – another reason why Jews must work with other minorities to fight real racist abuse, discrimination and demonization which, so obviously today, comes from its traditional source: the right and beyond.
Expose the 'dark money' bankrolling our politics
US Christian 'fundamentalists', some linked to Donald Trump and Steve Bannon, have poured at least $50m of 'dark money' into Europe over the past decade – boosting the far right.
That's just the tip of the iceberg: we've got many more leads to chase down. Find out more and support our work here.

Kali River Rapids (originally named Tiger Rapids Run before opening) is a river rapids attraction at the Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park of the Walt Disney World resort, in the "Asia" area. It is themed as a rafting expedition along the Chakranadi River, courtesy of "Kali Rapids Expeditions". In keeping with Disney's Animal Kingdom's message of conservation and environmental protection, this attraction deals with illegal logging and habitat destruction.

Ride experience

Queue
The queue winds through temples and shops, passing by ancient, decaying statues, shrines, overgrown ruins, and lush landscapes, ending in the rafting offices for "Kali Rapids Expeditions." In keeping with the theme against illegal logging, chainsaws can be heard in the forest near the queue. Inside the rafting offices, visitors pass a television screen on which the proprietor of "Kali Rapids Expeditions" explains their company's mission: to show visitors the natural beauty of the area and demonstrate that there are non-destructive ways to bring revenue to their village. Just before reaching the loading area, a radio transmission warns that illegal loggers have moved dangerously close to the river.

Main ride

Moving into the brightly colored wooden pagoda, decorated with Tibetan prayer flags, riders are loaded from a rotating platform into 12-person rafts.  The rafts have names such as "Kathmandoozy", "Himalayan Hummer", "Manaslu Slammer", "Bhaktapur Bubbler", and "Sherpa Surfer".

As the rafts leave the dock, riders begin their adventure on the Chakranadi River, first ascending a 90-foot lift hill through jasmine and ginger scented mist. Once at the top, the raft floats through the path of gushing geysers, past a waterfall and rock formation that forms the face of a tiger, and on through a dense tropical jungle where countless animal and bird calls can be heard.

The water becomes choppier, and riders hear the sound of chainsaws and the smell of smoke. Around the bend, the lush vegetation gives way to charred tree stumps, and a fully loaded logging truck, which has slid perilously into the river, tries in vain to drive itself out.

Moving further into a gargantuan pile of charred tree trunks, the raft passes through a flaming bridge of felled wood and then plummets down a 30-foot slide, soaking everyone in the resulting waves. Careening down the rapids, the raft passes waterfalls cascading down a granite rock face, before spinning and bumping its way along the whitewater. (the fire effects on the wood only turn on in the evening)

Passing through a cave, riders are dampened further by dripping water, and by statues of water-carriers which spray water jets. Finally, the raft passes beneath a wooden bridge and past statues of elephants which also shoot water; these jets are controlled by park guests standing on the bridge. At this point the raft returns to the loading pagoda and riders disembark.

Incidents

The ride was briefly closed on May 29, 2007 after five visitors and one employee received minor injuries as a result of an evacuation platform malfunction.

Welcome to today's show with your host Dan Polimino!
Hi everyone and welcome to ask the Colorado Dreamhouse team I'm your host Dan Polimino. Live from Denver Colorado on Tuesday February 6. Every Tuesday and Thursday about this time in the afternoon we share with you everything that we know about residential real estate how to buy sell and invest in real estate. So if you're new to the show welcome we're glad to have you. You're free to ask a question at any time you can e-mail us. You can call us or you can leave a comment here on Facebook but we'd love to hear from you. Two things we'd like to accomplish every show we like to give you some market information. We call it news you can use and we like to answer your questions. So let's get to the news you can use and that is the January sales numbers for Residential Home Sales in Denver. I've been telling you this I pretty much thought that we would have a really really low number of active homes in January February and parts of March. I thought it would hang around the thirty eight hundred range and it did. I think the final number was 38 69 38 69 was the final number. So not a lot of resale homes on the market. Shouldn't be a big surprise it is January. That will get better and better as we get closer and closer to spring so hang on if you're a buyer out there and you're somewhat disappointed and you say I haven't seen anything even come across my e-mail that I would be interested in. It's because there's only 38 800 homes for sale. Historically what would be a normal January if we didn't have this record low inventory. Well 13000 homes in the past has been a regular January. I mean could you imagine 13000 homes. Wow. I mean we'd have like every buyer that we have under contract if that were the case. That's 10000 more homes than is really on the market right at this moment. How about sales what were the sales number for January. Not that hot again. Coming up the holidays you got the holiday hangover the winter it's winter it's cold there's not a lot of houses for sale. Not a lot of buyers in the market in January so there is only 27 hundred home sales that's really low for a city of Denver. You know when you talk about Denver and the surrounding suburbs about three million people. Twenty seven hundred sales now. That's a 36 percent and Tropp. From December and that's a 15 percent drop from this time last year in 2017. So that's a little that was a little surprising. The price of homes didn't change that much from December to January. We're staying steady there but year over year again this time last year the average price of a home 10 percent higher 10 percent higher. All right. And the most active price range which I think you can really probably predict in Denver is between 300 and 400000. And if you know if you're a buyer and you're trying to buy in that three to four hundred thousand dollar range. Those houses are flying off the shelf got over asking price getting beat out by cash offers yes I know we hear it all the time. We've got some solutions for you. So if you want to hear him again contact us at the Colorado Dream House team. We'd be happy to help. All right let's get to today's questions. Dear Colorado Dreamhouse team how do we solve the inventory shortage problem. My crystal ball let me rub that boss. So here's how we solve it. It actually starts with builders and I wrote a great blog about this on our Web site. So go to Colorado Dreamhouse dot com a look up inventory shortage problem what has to happen is that the very very top the people at the top of the market those they're living in the Big Ten thousand eleven thousand nine thousand square foot homes. They become empty nesters and they move to a smaller what we call lock and leaf product. That opens up their home and then the cycle begins. So the person that's in the six seven thousand square foot home upgrades to a 10000 square foot home and they move up to a nicer neighborhood the person in the six seven thousand square foot home they sell it the person in the four to five thousand square foot home moves into their right. And what price range is are we talking about well top of the market you're 2 3 million right. Who moves into that somebody who's in a house at one point five million. Well who moves into the one point five million. Well somebody who's in an eight nine hundred thousand dollar house and who moves into the nine eight nine hundred thousand dollar house somebody who's in the five sixes. Right. And that's the chain begins that first time home buyer. Has to have a home. To move into. So we've got to get the four and five hundred thousand dollar homes vacated and get them to move up. Right. That's how the chain works but it starts at the top if the people in the big houses don't have the empty nester product to move to they never leave the Big House. And so my solution is builders building the empty nester product. Okay that's where we got to go with that. Question number two dear Colorado Dreamhouse team I would sell our home but I'm not sure where we would go. There are no homes to buy. What would you suggest. Can inventory shortage problem. So here's our solution at the Colorado Dream House team. For all of those who are thinking about selling. Here's what we're going to do we're going to find your home. First we're going to put you on the buy side first because we know that spring is coming and that inventory is going up. Right. And we know that the most available homes on the market are going to be in late March April and May. So we find the house that you want. First we're going to close on it we're going to move you into it and then we're going to sell your house and you say well I need the money out of my house in order to do that. I gotcha. We're partnering up with banks and lenders that are going to do short term bridge loans. I'm talking three months maybe six months max. We're going to do a quick home equity loan. We're going to pull the money out of your house. Now when I mean by quick like 10 days to two weeks we'll get a home equity loan done. Pull the money out of your house. Use that for the down payment on the new house. Have you close on it move into it. Put your existing home for sale. Sell that house and pay off both notes. This is what we do with our clients this year if you want to hear more about this want more details. Contact us a Colorado Dream House dot com. Question number three. Dear Colorado Dreamhouse team. What's one of the best services you offer your clients. Great question. We offer a lot of great services but probably one of the best as we find you cheap money. Get a lot of investors that come to us and want to buy rental properties when to build their portfolio.

The season of tea is here in force. The air is filled with icy snow that blows against the windows as we snuggle down into fuzzy slippers and watch Netflix in front of a flickering fire. But duty calls and we head to work and the gym and our kids go back to school. Next thing you know you're reaching for the tissues and the box is empty. In fact all the boxes are empty and half the family is coughing. It's time to brew up some Lemon Ginger Tea and kick the cold to the curb.
When I got a cold as a child my Mom would mix a couple teaspoons of lemon juice and honey in a tiny glass and let me drink it. I loved it – sweet and sour and intensely flavored. My kids however, are not fans. Because of that I really doubted they would drink this tea. To my surprised they loved it! I let mine brew for a few hours because we were busy and warmed it up on the stove with a couple spoons of sugar and poured it into these little china teacups. Winter tea heaven.
I won't claim that Lemon Ginger Tea will cure whatever this winter throws at you along with that icy snow. But it does taste delicious, and ginger, lemon and honey are all proven to be good for our bodies. If you want to up your game even more add a little turmeric to your pot as well for the anti-inflammatory benefits.
Kroger had Meyer Lemons on sale this week and since I've never tried them I bought two bags. This tea was made with half Meyer and half regular but I'm interested to do some more comparisons. They definitely look more like oranges than lemons though!
I hope you enjoy your tea this weekend! Stay warm and healthy.
Thanks for pinning and sharing with your friends who need a little winter pick me up as well.
Chase the winter blues with this Lemon Ginger Tea Recipe. Sweet, spicy and tart it's just what the doctor ordered for a winter evening snuggled in front of the fireplace.
Peel and slice the ginger and put it in the bottom of a teapot or mug.
Add the lemon juice and pour in the boiling water.
Sweeten to taste with sugar or honey.

Q: How to build a machine learning system (smart system) that updates automatically? I am kinda a newbie in machine learning. I have done lots of learning related to data analysis and ML algorithms, and I've got very good results and understanding of the algorithms. However, my approaches are normally getting datasets, writing scripts or notebooks to solve the problems and that's pretty much it. Which means, no matter how fancy I create a script, I have to run the script everytime for each update, this is not enough.
I think that machine learning is more than that, and there are already smart systems that are constantly updating their systems automatically, and I am really interested in that, but can't really find any good materials that dive deep into that field.

Let's just say, like the classic example, there's a website that has a ML system at the backend that identifies iris categories, and it's visitors constantly upload new observations of irises and the visitors get the category of the iris they upload, and the backend system continues to improve accordingly.

How can I get to learn thing like this? Would be super keen to dive into this field.
I'd really appreciate all your opinions!
Thanks a lot!

A: you are asking "Incremental way of learning " !!
it's depends on what task are you doing. you can not apply incremental learning everywhere. the real problem is when we train , in the process of training , there are many other things that are related(inter dependent). which gets changed during a new cycle.
so if you can make your algorithm independent , then you can do "incremental way of learning" !!

A: Machine learning is not a simple art.  It requires a good understanding of multi-variable calculus and linear algebra (matrices).  I am no ML expert but I love the topic.  If you are serious about learning I would recommend taking a good intro course like this one: https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning

Graze on Italian wine, cheese, and charcuterie.
Interesting restaurants often result from the vision and passion of a single person or couple. Dino, which opened in July in the Cleveland Park location once occupied by Yanyu, is such a place. Dean Gold and his wife, Kay Zimmerman, frequently traveled to Italy over a decade, mostly to Venice and to Montalcino in southern Tuscany. They wanted to open a restaurant incorporating the things they loved about Italian trattorias and osterias.
The result is a casual restaurant that's doing lots of things right. Prices are moderate. The chef is Johnny Nielsen, who has worked in kitchens ranging from Palena in DC to the Tribeca Grill in New York. The menu is organized so diners can order several small dishes or a meal structured the traditional Italian way. People are welcome, Gold says, to come in for a snack and a glass of wine for dinner.
To encourage patrons to see wine as part of the meal, Gold has priced a list of readily available wines at just $10 over retail. There's also a list of 120 wines under $60 and a reserve list of 250 or so more-expensive bottles. The bar features a selection of artisan-made spirits, aperitifs, and digestifs. Cheeses, cured meats, and olive oils are imported directly from Italy. Gold circles the handsome dining rooms, welcoming customers and urging them to try the cheeses he just got in. In its early weeks, Dino has been wildly successful. Its two dining rooms have been packed, and there's usually been a wait for a table.
The menu begins with an appealing selection of crostini, various toppings on crisp toasted bread. Offerings include an unusual combination of bleu cheese and anchovies, chicken pâté, dried cod whipped with oil, and bread rubbed with garlic and drizzled with olive oil. Most are priced at $1.75 each or $8 for a plate with five crostini of your choice.
Next on the menu are cicchetti, a selection of more substantial dishes patterned after those served in Venetian wine bars. Examples include little meatballs braised in tomato sauce, marinated sardines with onions and raisins, and baby octopus braised in red wine, then grilled. These are followed by antipasti, yet more small plates, which include a delicious grilled quail and greens, an assortment of roast vegetables, and fried calamari with warm tomato sauce.
There's more. Primi, first courses, are available in half or whole orders. These include mussels and clams cooked in white wine and garlic and served on grilled bread; a thick pasta with a sauce of wild boar with herbs; and best of all, a small lasagna with a ragu of pork and veal. If main courses are still appealing after the wealth of starters, the best choice is branzino, a roasted whole sea bass with oil and lemon. Lamb cooked on the rotisserie was overcooked and dry, as was a half chicken.
Desserts are not the high point of an Italian meal, and that's the case here. The best is a delightful variation on tiramisu made with limoncello. Ricotta mousse was grainy, and chocolate panna cotta had little chocolate flavor. Most satisfying would be one of the sweet wines offered at a reasonable $6 a glass, a Moscato d'Asti or the Quady Elysium or Essencia.
Service, over several visits, has varied from forgetful to pleasantly attentive, but if the attention that Dean Gold has paid to other details of his restaurant is any indication, I'll wager that it will get better. Dinner at Dino is not a perfect dining experience, but it's an enjoyable one.

Senator Creigh Deeds
Proudly Serving the People of Virginia's 25th District
2021 General Assembly Session
Ending Political Gridlock
January 9, 2013 by Creigh Deeds
Deeds and Toscano Introduce Redistricting Commission Bill
(Charlottesville, VA – January 4, 2013) – Virginia State Senator Creigh Deeds and House of Delegates Democratic Leader David Toscano are introducing a bill to reform the redistricting process. The bill will amend the Virginia Constitution to establish the Virginia Redistricting Commission, a bipartisan group that would create Congressional and State legislative districts which are contiguous, compact, and respect city and county boundaries – and specifically be drawn without favor to a political party or legislator.
"The main reason for political gridlock is legislative districts that have been gerrymandered to overwhelmingly favor an incumbent's party, resulting in hyperpartisan legislators unable to work together for the common good" said Senator Deeds, who has been championing non-partisan redistricting since 2003. "This bill would result in much more competitive elections, and revive an endangered political species, the political moderate".
Stated Delegate Toscano, a co-patron of the measure, "Redistricting has become a way by which those in power maintain their control – and both parties have done it. We are in a unique position right now. The next redistricting will occur after the 2020 census. Hopefully this will make it easier for incumbents to put aside narrow self-interest and make a change to help the Commonwealth's interest."
Senator Deeds noted how partisan redistricting has resulted in Charlottesville and Albemarle being part of a congressional district that runs from Danville to Fauquier County, a result of incumbent protectionism driving redistricting. "Instead of voters choosing their legislators, legislators are choosing their constituents. That must change."
The Virginia Redistricting Commission would have 13 members, none of whom could be sitting legislators or employees of the US Congress or the Virginia General Assembly. Six would be appointed by Democrats, six by Republicans, with an independent member appointed jointly, to serve as Chairman.
The Commission would redistrict according to specific criteria to create districts that are contiguous and compact, with an aim of avoiding the division of cities and counties into more than one district. Districts could not be drawn for the purpose of favoring a political party or incumbent legislator or member of Congress, and would not use election results or demographic information except as required by federal law.

CompAir Japan Home
Japan - Change Region
AGA Rangemaster puts reliability on the menu with genuine compressor spares
Ask any responsible operator what steps can be taken to improve compressor performance and you'd expect a number of answers; maybe to invest in the latest, high-efficiency compressor technology; perhaps to install a new controller or purchase more effective downstream equipment; or to undertake a comprehensive air audit.
While all of these are excellent ways to improve production efficiencies, forward-thinking manufacturers, such as AGA Rangemaster, the market leader in range cookers, are considering a further option; investing in genuine manufacturers' spare parts over non-genuine or third party spares.
Here's how AGA Rangemaster has ensured the longevity and high-performance of its CompAir compressors at its production facility in Leamington Spa for more than thirty years, through regular servicing and the use of genuine components.
To ensure maximum productivity, AGA Rangemaster needs to ensure a dependable, quality source of compressed air is always available. With production running five days a week, its compressed air network must operate at peak performance at all times.
Its original CompAir piston machines had been serviced regularly with genuine spare parts providing reliable performance for over 20 years. Around 10 years ago, AGA Rangemaster decided to invest in variable-speed compressor technology to help improve energy efficiency.
The company chose a new package from CompAir comprising two L132 machines, an L75 variable-speed unit together with dryers, filters and an air/water separator. This station has now been operating for over ten years, thanks to programme of planned preventative maintenance backed by the provision of genuine spare parts.
Vic Merulla, maintenance manager from AGA Rangemaster explains the company's reason for choosing CompAir spare parts:
"Typically, non-genuine compressor spares and lubricants are cheaper to source than the manufacturer's original parts. Clearly, all service and maintenance costs need to be factored in to our cost of ownership equations very carefully and, when finances are under pressure, it would be easy to choose cheaper alternatives.
"However, by talking to the service and engineering team at CompAir, we soon learnt that fitting the wrong spare part can, in some cases, cause real damage to the compressor, ultimately meaning the machine can fail completely. This won't just result in an expensive repair bill, but will affect our productivity too; so profitability would really suffer.
"As a result, we have always used CompAir genuine parts, fitted by a CompAir-trained service engineer to ensure that our compressors deliver the predictable performance we need."
Colin Mander, regional sales director at CompAir continues:
"Modern compressors are carefully engineered to ensure that all components can contribute to high-energy performance and reliability. So it is clearly counter productive to replace such components with non-genuine spares, as it will reduce the cost savings achievable.
"In contrast, genuine parts have been manufactured to meet the same standards as the compressor they are intended for. This means that they have passed the same stringent manufacturers' testing regimes, in a quality-controlled environment, to offer the repeatable, dependable operation that plant manager's need to keep production costs down."
CompAir offers an extensive range of genuine spare parts and lubricants, designed to deliver maximum energy performance and reliability, backed by round-the clock maintenance and support from a network of service engineers.

USD School of Business
Alumni Hall of Honor
Why Alumni Connections Really Matter
Some people have a gift for connecting people and ideas. For University of San Diego School of Business alumna Deborah Norwood Ruane '14 MSEL, every experience has been a brush stroke in the formation of a much bigger picture. A budding entrepreneur and proven leader in affordable housing finance and development, Ruane is the ultimate "connector"—an expert in identifying, maximizing and unifying the resources necessary to progress toward an optimal solution.
Ruane's connectivity to people not only runs deep with major real estate industry players in San Diego, but also as it relates to the University of San Diego itself. As a USD alumna, she is actively engaged with the university as a guest lecturer, as a speaker at a number of Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate conferences and through her newest endeavor with the founding of Norwood Development Strategies.
Ruane's new venture is a real estate consulting firm, specializing in solutions for the creation of multi-family housing, serving individuals and families who cannot afford the high cost of housing. Through her new company, it is her greatest example yet of her ability to connect people and resources to an important mission—helping to solve the affordable housing crisis. Norwood facilitates collaborative solutions for developers, financial institutions and local jurisdictions to address housing shortages in major metropolitan areas.
"I love working in and leading teams, but I started my own, one-woman company because I felt a need to bring together my experiences in banking, development and government into a more concentrated effort to attack our housing problems," says Ruane. "I still yearn to be a leader and mentor to others and continue to build teams."
Ruane reached out to Stath Karras, executive director of the Burnham-Moores Center, when she needed some assistance with research for her projects. "Stath's response to my request was sincere and immediate—he put out a call to students and got a rapid response," says Ruane.
As a result, Ruane engaged two USD School of Business Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE) students Eric Richards '19 MSRE and Brian Jacobs '20 MSRE to join her team for an important and time-sensitive project.
"I was very fortunate to meet Eric and Brian, two amazing graduate students who are eager, hard-working and curious," says Ruane. "They had experience from other positions which gave them added depth, and in turn, has helped me look at challenges through a different lens. I also want to work with the smartest, most innovative students in real estate who are being taught by some of the best professors and industry experts. Problem-solving is best achieved when you can talk about it as a team and bounce ideas off each other. I am not done learning yet, and by working with students, I learn something new every day—it's a win-win!"
Jacobs and Richards shared with us that they are very happy to be working with Ruane and shared similar sentiments about their opportunity to gain more experience in the industry working side-by-side with a USD alumna.
"The internship opportunities offered through the Burnham-Moores Center allow for alumni-student engagement," says Jacobs '20 MSRE. "These experiences are essential because they help connect the academic community with local business leaders and they allow a student to network and form lasting business relationships. My involvement in Debbie's consulting project has truly borne this out. It's a real privilege to work with her and it's been an extremely rewarding learning experience. I've been able to participate in meetings with the BIA, local developers such as CityMark and AmCal, and with representatives from the public sector, including Lara Gates, deputy chief of staff for Georgette Gomez, and Stephen Hill from Todd Gloria's office. Additionally, I've had the opportunity to interact with planning representatives from various cities in San Diego County where underutilized transit-oriented sites are located and where development is being targeted. All of this exposure is invaluable to me as I continue to pursue a career in development and community building in San Diego."
Ruane wants to ensure that talent retention in the real estate industry is high so that students, who offer fresh perspectives, can help address ongoing issues affecting San Diego, such as homelessness and the inadequate supply of affordable housing.
"USD and the Burnham-Moores Center are in a unique position to engage with our communities to help solve local problems and help bring innovative solutions to our region at a time when we need it the most," says Ruane. "USD students offer fresh insights and perspectives to businesses through internships at local real estate companies. Those companies reap the rewards of smart, fresh talent who offer new solutions to challenges our community faces."
Richards '19 MSRE shared how his work experience with Ruane has given him insights into real projects affecting San Diego and how his contributions are helping to make a difference.
"A year and a half ago I began the MSRE program—I was looking to develop a framework for my experience in suburban and urban infill residential developments in conjunction with a superior education," says Richards. "Those goals and aspirations have been more fulfilled then I could have ever imagined. Through the strong alumni association and the amazing team of professionals at the Burnham-Moores Center, I was able to begin working with the well-known and respected San Diego housing expert Debbie Ruane. I have had the opportunity to learn first-hand about transportation-oriented development, meet key players in the industry and I've been given the opportunity to participate in writing the Metropolitan Transportation Systems (MTS) joint development procedures, which will help to transform the land available within the MTS system."
As a USD alumna, Ruane aspires to support her alma mater by continuing to offer work opportunities to students and help connect them to the various areas of this multi-faceted industry.
"It gives me immense pride and gratification to be a mentor to USD students and I feel it is my calling to help them make industry connections," says Ruane. "You never know who you're going to meet, what you're going to learn, or how it could change or augment your life. Even a few hours a week in an internship can result in a life-long learning experience."
"Debbie has a keen ability to connect different ideas, viewpoints and people to achieve a common goal," Karras. "We are consistently impressed with her leadership within the industry, her expertise with affordable housing issues and with her on-going support of the BMC's mission to support USD real estate students."
Ultimately, Ruane's successes and ability to influence through her connections stems from her knack of bringing people and ideas together. The founding of Norwood Development Strategies enables Ruane to offer more than 30 years of experience in the real estate industry, in collaboration with good people, to accomplish the ultimate goals of her clients. Ruane has served as a guest lecturer in graduate-level programs at USD since 2013. Previously, she was the executive vice president, chief strategy officer for the San Diego Housing Commission; served as vice president for affordable housing development at Fairfield Residential; and was senior vice president of the Community Development Banking Group at Bank of America.
Ruane's commitment, engagement, exceptional leadership and connectivity of students to the industry is a prime example of why connections really matter—especially alumni connections. Ruane recognizes the incredible benefit that comes with working with students—their curiosity, excitement and fresh perspectives.

The Blackburn B-48 Firecrest or YA.1 was a single-engine naval strike fighter built by Blackburn Aircraft. It was a development of the troublesome B-35 Firebrand. It was designed to Air Ministry Specification S.28/43, for an improved Firebrand more suited to carrier operations.
Operational experience had found that Blackburn's Firebrand strike fighter to be far from suited to carrier operations. Particularly, the pilot sat behind the wing trailing edge, looking over a very long and wide nose, which gave a particularly poor view for landing. The Firecrest had a redesigned, inverted gull wing and moved the pilot forwards and raised his position so that he was now looking over the leading edge, and down the nose, rather than along it. Four Fowler flaps were fitted to give good low-speed handling for landing and the wing had retractable dive brakes on both surfaces. The wing folded in two places to allow storage in carrier hangars. In other respects, the Firecrest was a conventional monoplane design with a tailwheel undercarriage and particularly clean lines.
Despite a promising performance, the Firecrest project was abandoned in 1948 as existing types would fill its role satisfactorily until the new generation of turbine-powered aircraft entered service.
It uses material from the Wikipedia article "Blackburn Firecrest".

Q: Instanciate new AuthorizationServerProvider when per http request using dependency injection I have a web api 2 project and I am using Asp.net Identity and Entity framework.
I have discovered that when I change the password, the old one still works but the new one give me error (invalid grant).
I am sure the change password works correctly... Infact in the database the value of the (hashed) password changes correctly.
UPDATE
I have understood why. The authorizationServerProvider (or the user manager I use inside it) is not instanciated per http request. It seems it is a singleton. The problem is that it is instanciated on startup and stop, so it's like it continue to use data of the first login, that are cached (by Entity framework).
Here how I configure my authorizationServerProvider  class:
public partial class Startup
{
    public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
    {
        OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions oauthServerOptions = new OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions
        {
            //...,
            Provider = new TokenBasedAuthorizationServerProvider(),
            RefreshTokenProvider = new RefreshTokenProvider()
        };

        app.UseOAuthAuthorizationServer(oauthServerOptions);
    }

How can avoid the login use the cached data?
Thank you

A: You can try to:

*

*Disable Tracking using AsNoTracking()

*Throw away the DbContext and create a new one

*Call GetDatabaseValues() to get updated values for single entity

A: I had the same problem with UseOAuthAuthorizationServer and DI. Last time I faced with this when using Autofac but this is relevant to other DI frameworks. The problem is we have static instance of OAuthAuthorizationServerProvider stored by middleware so no DI involved.
My solution was to get dependencies in OAuthAuthorizationServerProvider in each methods like this:
public override async Task GrantResourceOwnerCredentials(OAuthGrantResourceOwnerCredentialsContext context)
{
    var scope = context.OwinContext.GetAutofacLifetimeScope();
    var userManager = scope.Resolve<ApplicationUserManager>();

    .........
}

My container initialization:
    public static IContainer Configure(IAppBuilder appBuilder, HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        var containerBuilder = new ContainerBuilder();
        .... registrations here ....

        var container = containerBuilder.Build();

        config.DependencyResolver = new AutofacWebApiDependencyResolver(container);

        appBuilder.UseAutofacMiddleware(container);

        appBuilder.UseAutofacWebApi(config);

        return container;
    }

You can do something like this using other DI containers as well.

Q: PHP results not displayed in smarty template I have a variable $my_arr whose var_dump($my_arr) value is
array(3) { [0]=> object(stdClass)#6 (9) { ["prod_index"]=> string(1) "1" ["prod_code"]=> string(4) "amp1" ["prod_name"]=> string(11) "Amplifier A" ["prod_price"]=> string(6) "100.00" ["frequency"]=> string(1) "2" ["gain"]=> string(1) "2" ["gain_variation"]=> string(3) "0.2" ["noise"]=> string(1) "2" ["power"]=> string(2) "10" } [1]=> object(stdClass)#7 (9) { ["prod_index"]=> string(1) "3" ["prod_code"]=> string(4) "amp1" ["prod_name"]=> string(13) "Amplifire1.33" ["prod_price"]=> string(6) "133.00" ["frequency"]=> string(4) "2.12" ["gain"]=> string(1) "2" ["gain_variation"]=> string(3) "0.2" ["noise"]=> string(1) "2" ["power"]=> string(2) "10" } [2]=> object(stdClass)#8 (9) { ["prod_index"]=> string(1) "4" ["prod_code"]=> string(4) "amp1" ["prod_name"]=> string(13) "Amplifier1.45" ["prod_price"]=> string(6) "150.00" ["frequency"]=> string(4) "2.99" ["gain"]=> string(1) "2" ["gain_variation"]=> string(3) "0.2" ["noise"]=> string(1) "2" ["power"]=> string(2) "10" } }

In smarty I tried
{foreach name = fe1 item = k from = arr}
{$k->prod_index}
{/foreach}

But it is not showing any result .

A: Assuming you're already assigning the array to smarty like:
$smarty->assign( "arr", $my_arr );

You need to use the "." syntax, like:
{foreach name = fe1 item = k from = arr}
{$k.prod_index}
{/foreach}

Q: Do all response packages musst pass the load balancer? Do all response packages sent from a backend server to a client must pass the load balancer?
Actually I try to solve this Question:
I have 3 statement. 2 of 3 are true.
What is the wrong statement?

*

*Do all response packages sent from a backend server to a client must pass the load balancer?

*All incoming connections to a cluster service are received by a load balancer.

*Load balancers can analyze traffic.

A: That depends on the load balancing solution that you deploy and how you configure it.
This: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/VS-DRouting.html
is an example where the response will be sent directly to the client.
This: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/VS-NAT.html is the same tooling deployed in a pattern where all responses need to pass the loadbalancer.


This is the old Dragon 1:700 scale USS Dallas, Los Angeles Class attack sub. I have tried to depict it at speed on the surface but I should have removed more of the lower hull to get it running lower in the water to get a better water effect flowing around the sail. The model is painted with Humbrol paints using a 60/40 mixture of black and No-67 tank grey. The sea is household wall plaster painted with artists oils and artists gel medium.

Fewer inbound tourists due to the world economic slowdown will not dent China's traditional tourist peak during the upcoming Spring Festival, an official said here Monday.
Inbound tourism has shrunk by more than 30 percent as a result of the global financial crisis, said Wang Zhifa, deputy director of the China National Tourism Administration.
That won't affect the whole tourist market during the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday, which will last a week from Jan.25, as inbound tourists account only a tiny share of the cake, said Liu.
The number of tourists during the holiday period will continue to grow steadily, because tourism has become a holiday lifestyle for Chinese, he said.
Outbound Chinese travelers are expected to favor short- and mid-distance destinations such as Hong Kong, Macao and southeast Asian nations.

Tom Doughty's inspiring tour
News | 18th January 2019 9:01
Photo: © Ashley Maile
We previously brought you the amazing story of Tom Doughty; the accomplished lap slide guitarist, singer and songwriter. Tom has gained support from so many people and organisations, including MIA Members Korg UK, Shure, JHS, our partners at Creative United and our industry charity, Music for All! Here is an update on Tom's UK wide tour of Spinal Injuries Centres…
(Read Industry support for Tom Doughty here)
Beginning in early 2019, musician Tom Doughty will be undertaking a UK wide tour to each of the 12 Spinal Injuries Centres.
Tom has a permanent spinal injury, caused by a road accident in 1974 when he was 17. His paralysis affects all four limbs and his balance. He has a very limited claw like movement in his right hand and no movement in his left.
An acoustic lap slide guitarist, performer, songwriter, recording artist and teacher, Tom is respected musician and is well known in the UK and internationally. His condition has remained the same, but through designing and adapting equipment and years of persistence and hard work Tom has developed his own truly unique way of approaching and playing his instrument, enabling his music to be heard and accessible to all.
Tom's philosophy is very much 'If I can do it, you can do it', stressing the value and importance of creating and listening to music. Additionally, for someone with a severe spinal injury, he will also demonstrate that for those with spinal injuries, the skills, fitness and strength required to play a slide guitar can offer a stimulating and motivating rehab tool.
In 2012, Tom embarked on a similar tour when he visited the 12 UK Spinal Centres where he was greeted with enthusiasm and support. At each centre, rehab staff and up to a dozen people with similar disabilities to Tom participated in a teaching workshop. Additionally, Tom provided a concert and a guitar with equipment was left at each hospital to allow the idea to germinate. Tom also provided lessons through Skype to those participants who were keen to develop their skills.
Tom explains: "When someone has a Spinal Injury, it is a time of massive change and upheaval in life, yet it is also an opportunity to have time to learn and re learn new ways to be creative".
Tom will be visiting London, Aylesbury, Salisbury, Cardiff, Oswestry, Southport, Sheffield, Wakefield, Middlesbrough, Glasgow, Dublin and Belfast, spending a day at each centre and bringing guitars and equipment for up to 10 participants. A second guitar and adaptive equipment will be donated and Tom has recorded several instructional videos which will be permanently accessible through the internet.
The launch will take place ahead of the hugely popular Craig Ogden's Guitar Weekend at The Bridgewater Hall from Friday 27 – Sunday 29 January where Tom will be appearing.
Tom's tour is funded by The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, in partnership with Creative United, The Paraorchestra and friends, Shure, Korg UK, John Hornby Skewes and Diamond Bottlenecks.
Paula Wilson, Learning and Participation Manager at The Bridgewater Hall said: "Tom has a longstanding musical relationship with The Bridgewater Hall and is always very popular with audiences for his musicality and good humour. Tom's work in the UK spinal units has the potential to be an incredibly transformative experience for people who have experienced a spinal injury, whether that be gaining a useful new skill to aid rehabilitation or discovering the joy of learning to play a musical instrument for the first time. We are excited to be supporting Tom to deliver this important project in 2019."
Mary-Alice Stack, Chief Executive, Creative United added: "Tom is a hugely talented musician and we are delighted to be supporting his 2019 tour of spinal injury units. Through our Take it away scheme, Creative United wants as many people as possible to get involved in learning and playing music. We hope very much that Tom's tour will provide both the practical support and inspiration needed to encourage other disabled people to discover the lap guitar and develop their musicality."
Jonathan Harper, Chief Executive, The Paraorchestra & Friends, said: "Tom has been a member of The British Paraorchestra for over six years now and it is an absolute privilege for us to support this initiative. It is beyond any doubt that creativity and the arts have a role to play in health, well-being and recovery. Tom's exceptional playing and his candid, encouraging style of communication is sure to create a positive impact on this tour."
Anthony Short, Sales Director, Musician & Consumer Audio, Shure, added: "We have only recently been introduced to Tom and begun to learn about the incredible musical journey he has embarked upon. It is a pleasure to be able to support him and we wish him all the best for the forthcoming tour."
Alan Scally, Takamine Guitars / KORG UK said: "Tom Doughty is without doubt a fine and emotive player who has used his unique set of circumstances to create a truly individual style. Takamine Guitars are proud to support Tom on his musical journey."
Ian MCWee of Diamond Bottlenecks explained how Tom uses their product: "Tom Doughty is a truly unique slide guitarist and we are proud to support him. We got to know him through originally through supplying a couple of custom-made lead-crystal glass slides – but to facilitate Tom's amazing slide style he needed extra weight without increased slide diameter. Tom designed and created the prototype of this featured slide and asked the team at Diamond Bottlenecks to produce his idea of what we consider to be the perfect all-round guitar slide."

The situation created within VR can be either based on a real place or it might be a virtual place. VR always need extra hardware like VR headphones which separates the user from the real world and navigate them to the imaginary world. You can watch the virtual world by turning your head around and manipulate objects in the virtual reality space. The things which you notice within the VR space depends on the VR app content available in the VR Application.
Real estate: Virtual tours are a great extension of real estate industry. VR apps can recreate the interiors of homes and apartments views to make a demo to clients.
MR is the merging of real and virtual worlds to produce new environments and visualizations where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real time scenario. Mixed reality technologies in today's world very rapid development being recognized by an ever person in most of the business.
Healthcare – Utilizing 3D images, specialists can design medical procedures examining minor health issues. Blended reality can be utilized to structure the most best in class working spaces for the greatest viability of medical procedures and the patients' solace.
Retail commerce – This scenario is the best example of AR enabled retail applications. By using Mixed Reality you can not only place objects in your surroundings but interchange them as you wish.

Пловућац (, , , ) је лака, бела или сива, изванредно шупљикава и спужваста стена, киселе или средњокиселе реакције. Ова високо мехураста пирокластично екструзивна магматска стена садржи риолит, трахит и фонолит.

Карактеристике
Пловућац је обично светлих боја, углавном бео. Као екструзивна стена настао је при ерупцији вулкана. Просечна порозност је око 90%. Пирокластични материјал је избачен у ваздух као пена, која садржи мехуриће гаса. Лава се брзо стврдњава, а мехурићи остају заробљени унутар стене. Пловућац је због тога изузетно лаган, па плута на води, а користи се за производњу лаганих бетона.

Пловућац је лаган па често плута на води
Базалтна верзија пловућца позната је као скорија и много се разликује због минералогије. Када је присутна већа количина гаса тада настаје једна ситнозрнаста верзија пловућца позната као пемзит. Пловућац се сматра стаклом, јер нема кристалне структуре - аморфан је. Варира и у густини, зависно од односа мехурића и чврстога материјала. Многи примерци пловућца плутају на води. Након експлозије вулкана Кракатау на Пацифику су и до две године након ерупције пливали сплавови пловућца дугачки и до 25 m. На некима су расле палме и остала вегетација. За време подземних вулканских ерупција близу Тонге 1979, 1984. и 2006. створени су велики сплавови пловућца дугачки и 30 km, који су пловили хиљадама километара до Фиџија.

Постоје два главна облика мехурића. Неки садрже тубасте и готово паралелне мехуриће, па такав пловућац изгледа свиласто. Други облик мехурића је сферичног облика и такав пловућац настаје при већим притисцима током ерупције.

Примена
Пловућац се много користи за прављење изузетно лаганог бетона. Користи се као адитив цементу и такав пловућац се назива поцолан и меша се са кречом да би се створио лагани бетон. Такав бетон се користи у доба старих Римљана.

Пловућац се користи и у козметици, да би се одстранио вишак коже са стопала. Фино самлевен пловућац додаје се и у неке зубне пасте и у неке креме за руке, због великог абразивног својства. Такозвани лава сапун садржи у себи абразивни пловућац, а користе га ауто-механичари и други, који јако запрљају руке .
