10. The evolution of dusty torus
Luminous, with torus, but without bright BLR

11. Weak line quasars
Shemmer et al ; EW<5 A; continuum similar to normal quasars

12. Radio quiet BL Lac
No obvious emission lines
Plotkin et al

13. Are WLQs and Radio Quiet BL Lac the Objects Predicted by Our Model?
Predictions
Luminous accretion disk emission
Existence of Dusty Torus
Tests
Low polarization  disk not jet
Low variability  disk not jet
Hot dust emission  torus illuminated by luminous disk

14. Polarization Test: radio quiet BL Lac
Very low polarization in continuum spectra: only two of 25 candidates are observed with weak polarization (Heidt & Nilsson 2011); non detection for all others
The continuum spectrum is consistent with disk origin

15. Long Term Variability Test
So far observations are quite limited
Weaker than radio loud BL Lac？
Need more observations

21. Conclusions
The distribution of dusty gas should also be anisotropic due to the influence of the anisotropic disk radiation.
Our model can explain the presence of some obscured AGNs with high Eddington ratios and can also reproduce the observed decreasing fraction of type 2 AGNs with increasing luminosity.
Our model predicts the existence of luminous AGNs with dusty tori, but without luminous broad line regions.
Weak line quasars and radio quiet BL Lac?
Weak polarization, low variability and hot dust feature confirm our model predictions.
