This article explores the ways in which, during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, AirBnb’s successful place-based Experiences product was reimagined as a live online offering, marketed to would-be tourists living under ‘stay at home’ orders. Using online ethnographic and interpretive analysis of these new virtual experiences, we highlight a series of core placemaking strategies employed by hosts of the once in-situ experiences to show how they reemerge as interactive digital placemakers. In doing so, we elucidate how live, multimedia digital experiences become part of an evolution in the creation of ‘placemarkets’ that are now fundamental to both global mobility and globalized commercial exchange in the experience economy. Beyond the technological features used for these placemaking experiences, we find that the experience hosts and their manifold strategies to substantively engage participants – particularly through igniting their senses – are at the crux of digital placemaking; it is the affective labor of the hosts that most contributes to experiencing emplacement.

Excellent Tool

For laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) retreatments with a previous unsuccessful mechanical microkeratome-assisted surgery, some surgical protocols have been described as feasible, such as relifting of the flap or the creation of a new flap and even the change to a surface ablation procedure (photorefractive keratectomy (PRK)). This case shows the use of femtosecond technology for the creation of a secondary flap to perform LASIK in a cornea with a primary incomplete flap obtained with a mechanical microkeratome. As we were unable to characterize the interface of the first partial lamellar cut, a thick flap was planned and created using a femtosecond laser platform. As the primary cut was very thick in the nasal quadrant, a piece of loose corneal tissue appeared during flap lifting which was fitted in its position and not removed. Despite this condition and considering the regularity of the new femtosecond laser cut, the treatment was uneventful. This case report shows the relevance of a detailed corneal analysis with an advanced imaging technique before performing a secondary flap in a cornea with a primary incomplete flap. The femtosecond laser technology seems to be an excellent tool to manage such cases successfully.

Joseph Banks (1743–1820) was President of the Royal Society from 1778 to 1820, the longest anyone has served in that capacity, and during his prolonged tenure Banks was elected to numerous other societies at home and abroad. In the present paper Banks's membership of the Society of Arts and Manufactures is discussed, this being the first society to which he was ever elected in 1761. Of particular interest are the previously unexplained reasons for his withdrawal from the society in 1764, and his eventual re-election in 1791, this being the only example of Banks leaving and then rejoining a society. These events are investigated here. The creation, purpose and early development of the Society of Arts are also considered, as is its membership at a time when subscriptions were falling in the 1760s. Links with the Royal Society are described before, during and after this period of decline, and Joseph Banks's own contribution to the work of the Society of Arts is outlined.

Couched in the context of the experience economy 3.0, this research conceptualized transformations as changes in existential authenticity and anxiety, and phenomenologically explored the essence of a transformative tourist experience and subsequent long-term changes. This research uncovered nine chronologically ordered themes in which existentially oriented concerns were prevalent. It found that tourists did not reflect on existential givens in situ until a triggering episode initiated the meaning-making process. Existential anxiety felt post-trip was found to motivate tourists to resolve pertinent existential dilemmas and to initiate meaningful life changes. Participants sustained enhanced existential authenticity and became more sensitive to existential anxiety in their lives thereafter.

CPT is a kind of relatively superior field test technology, which is one of important the liquefaction in-situ test at home and abroad. In 1987, China has formed the national standard CPT liquefaction evaluation method, which predominantly from 1976 Tangshan earthquake liquefaction data, and then has not been tested. Recently by the 40 CPT liquefaction field data of Bachu earthquake obtained a liquefied evaluation formula. Due to comparing the liquefied evaluation methods at home and abroad, found the national standard CPT liquefied critical curve is qualitatively distinct to the others liquefied evaluation methods. If it is wrong about the code of CPT liquefied evaluation method, which the liquefied critical curve will be smaller along with the direction of the depth, will direct the liquefied evaluation critically be conservative and the depth liquefaction evaluation clearly be hazardous. In theory, this problem can be attributed to the influence of sand depth for liquefied evaluation, worthy of further discussion.

<p>The reconstructive study of Giove Anxur sanctuary in Terracina (Lazio, Italy) is part of a wider valorization project to develop a musealization intervention that provides in-site visit, aimed at understanding the existents archaeological structures and to the creation of digital contents and multimedia solutions useful to stimulate the curiosity and interest of the visitors. The entire project was done in collaboration with the Archaeological Superintendence of Lazio, the Officina Rambaldi and the Syremont spa, in order to make a digital movie that describes the historical and archaeological features of one the most important republican sanctuaries in central Italy. The planimetric reconstruction returns the spatial sense and architectural complexity of the various levels on which articulates the original path of cult.</p>

AbstractAlong with the structural analysis of the preludes, an interpretive analysis is extremely necessary for a practitioner of this instrument. Carlos Bonell, in an article in the specialized magazine “Guitar” (vol.11 of April 9, published in 1983), states that when the music of Villa-Lobos guitar parts becomes familiar to our ears, it is difficult let us imagine how they were in their “raw” state, in other words, how they were conceived in the composer’s imagination. But our duty as performers is to try to give this music its freshness and spontaneity, instead of imitating famous recordings or interpretations, which can only lead us to an outdated and at the same time lacking originality.

This article examines the micropolitics of the border by tracing the interface between government and individual body. In the first act of confession before the vanguard of governmental machinery, the border examination is crucial to both the operation of the global mobility regime and of sovereign power. The visa and passport systems are tickets that allow temporary and permanent membership in the community, and the border represents the limit of the community. The nascent global mobility regime through passport, visa, and frontier formalities manage an international population through and within a biopolitical frame and a confessionary complex that creates bodies that understand themselves to be international. The author charts the way that an international biopolitical order is constructed through the creation, classification, and contention of a surveillance regime and an international political technology of the individual that is driven by the globalization of a documentary, biometric, and confessionary regime. The global visa regime and international borders are crucial in constructing both international mobile populations and international mobile individuals.
