What began as a company in San Francisco to aid unemployed Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia pay their housing rent and earn some extra cash, Airbnb today has disrupted and revolutionized the entire lodging industry by making provisions for additional rooms at the country's contemporaneous travel locations/destinations during peak seasons when hotel rooms are sold out and the remaining ones are available at skyrocketing prices In the following report, the current practices which have been implemented by Airbnb within the digital domain to enhance their brand recognition are discussed. The predominant sway of Airbnb's digital environment in a conventional, as well as new framework, have been previewed pertaining to focus on guest association and measurement of outcomes in digital interfaces.

A continuation of this WG was voted for at the IAU GA 2006 in Prague. The International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) is defined by the positions of 212 distant quasars at radio wavelengths. The primary, optical reference frame is the Hipparcos Celestial Reference Frame (HCRF), which is the Hipparcos Catalog without astrometric ‘problem’ stars (in: H. Rickman (ed.) 2001, Proceedings IAU XXIV General Assembly, Transactions IAU XXIVB (San Francisco: ASP), Resolution B1.2). The Tycho-2 catalog with its 2.5 million brightest stars forms the first step in the densification of the optical reference frame. However, the limiting magnitude of about V = 12 of the Tycho-2 catalog is not sufficient for most applications in astronomy and the goal of this IAU Working Group is to further extend the grid of highly accurate positions and motions toward more and fainter stars.

One of the latest technologies to garner attention from the food world is the Web site Kickstarter, and it has already affected the restaurant industry in a number of ways. The Web site is a crowd-funding platform for “creative projects” in multiple disciplines–several restaurant owners have already used Kickstarter to raise capital toward opening and sustaining restaurants. The Kickstarter team's definition for a “creative project” is vague at best, and patterns have already emerged that raise questions about whether restaurants are an appropriate type of project to harness this platform. So far, three patterns have taken shape: the neighborhood restaurant, the philanthropic restaurant, and the experimental spot, as evidenced by Colonie in Brooklyn, Mission Chinese Food and Commonwealth in San Francisco, and What Happens When in New York, respectively. While restaurants use many creative elements, they also are businesses at the core. Thus, the best restaurant-oriented candidates for Kickstarter are those who aim to go beyond the conventional expectations of what a restaurant should provide. Ideally they will use Kickstarter's crowd-sourced funds to bring more to the community than what the charge for on the plate.

One of the top reasons given for use of the internet is the ability to search for health information. However, much of the planning for web-based health information often fails to consider accessibility issues. If health care organizations and community agencies’ web sites have the latest, most wellresearched information on the health topics of the day, it is useless to those who cannot access it because of invisible technological barriers. Many flashy, high-tech sites were designed only to appeal to the needs of the mainstream population, with no consideration given to how people with disabilities must adapt their use of the web in order to access information. This article addresses issues of access specific to web site development, and will explore barriers to accessibility frequently experienced by web users with disabilities, requirements for ADA compliance, and how people with disabilities use the web. Web site accessibility guidelines, as well as simple evaluation tools, will be discussed. A thorough review of the article will enable even the least tech-savvy of health educators to enhance their skills in planning and evaluating web sites to promote access for people with disabilities.

AbstractSince there is great interest in new homeopathic remedies, new provings and new systems for grouping and understanding remedies, Homoeopathic Links wants to inform all homeopaths via this rubric about new developments. Proving conductors are invited to send their provings to us. We will mention the proving in the column and you can decide whether you also want the proving on the Web site (www.provings.info) and/or make it available by email. Besides sending the proving, you can also opt for an article about the proving that is restricted to 900 words (one page). In this article, you can include information on the substance, where to get the remedy, themes coming out of the proving and a very short description of the methodology.The Web site where you can find all provings is www.provings.info.Presented here is a review of Paul Anderson Theriault's landmark book ‘The Table of Animals’.
