... this is why an ice skater pulls her arms in closer to her body ..so that she will spin faster.

The HoloLens 2 started shipping yesterday. Microsoft's new-and-improved AR headset costs the equivalent of five iPhone 11s ($3,500) and is catered to corporate customers.
What's new: The "mixed reality" device has more digital perception and interaction capabilities. Compared to the original HoloLens, it tracks more hand gestures, has 2x the field of view, and boasts "single-digit" lag time.  
How it works: The headset's visor superimposes 3D digital objects on the real world, and lets you drag, drop, and resize those objects. You summon a menu by holding an arm palm-up and touching your wrist like Iron Man. Let's just say I tried sneaking a headset out of the demo in my pocket (it didn't work). 
Also at the demo was the startup Spatial, which makes "shared augmented workplaces," aka Slack on steroids. Using a HoloLens 2 and Spatial's product, I met the avatar of someone who wasn't there, moved content around in 3D, and put a digital rover on Mars. 
Takeaway: HoloLens 2 truly feels like the future—but one that's far out for non-Fortune 1,000 employees. If you work at a company that does remote assistance, virtual training, or visual 3D collaboration, you may be in luck.

A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day.

One day, when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer.




As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, 'You know what?  'You have been with me all through the bad times.  When I got fired, you were there to support me.  When my business failed, you were there.  When I got shot, you were by my side.

When we lost the house, you stayed right here.  When my health started failing, you were still by my side... You know what Martha?'

'What dear?' she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth.

'I'm beginning to think you're bad luck...

Jim was annoyed when his blonde wife told him that a car had backed into
her, damaging a fender, and that she hadn't gotten the license number.
"What kind of car was he driving?" he asked. 

"I don't know," she said. "I never can tell one car from another." 

At that, Jim decided the time had come for a learning course, and for
the next few days, whenever they were driving, he made her name each car
they passed until he was satisfied that she could recognize every make.


It worked. About a week later she bounded in with a pleased expression
on her face. "Darling," she said. "I hit a Buick!"

A group of twenty BLIND FAITH LEADERS OF MANY RELIGIONS heard that a strange animal, called a Populist President, had been brought to the town, but none of them were aware of its shape and form. Out of curiosity, they said: "We must inspect and know it by touch, of which we are capable". So, they sought it out, and when they found it they groped about it. In the case of the first blind faith leader, whose hand landed on the upper arm,  said "This being is like a thick snake". For another one whose hand reached its back it seemed like a kind of fan. As for another blind faith leader, whose hand was upon its leg, said, this Populist President is a pillar like a tree-trunk. Another  blind faith leader who placed her hand upon its side  "is a wall". Another who felt its tie, described it as like a silk ribbon. The last felt its hair ,stating this Populist President's is that which is like a stack of wheat sheaves.
And the twenty blind faith leaders, having made these inspections, and made these pronouncements, and more, the Populist President then led them into the next room, for them to examine and determine the nature of a Stormy ..... which proved to be a lot more interesting.

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah."

The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."
