I suspect that this was more a case of a bad installation on the dealership's part. Not sure why the pump in the '08 failed at 89,000 miles and again at 94,000 miles.

The car is going back to the dealer tomorrow for "rework" to replace the water pump. I did add 8oz + 8oz of distilled water to bring the level up to where it should be. The owner's manual only indicated that the following should be used: "Either Toyota Super Long Life Coolant or a similar high-quality ethylene glycol-based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long life organic acid technology." After an extensive search, I did find a reply from Patrick similar to what he posted above. I, too, was wondering if the two coolants were compatible. I had a gallon of LL coolant for my 1003 Highlander. Since it was Sunday evening and he was preparing for the trip home (and the car was low on coolant) there were not too many options. I opened the hood and noticed dried fluid encrusted on the pump itself. ![]() I immediately knew that it could not be anything but the water pump.

In this chapter we explore in detail the evolution of Airbnb’s business model across three distinct development periods. The business model perspective provides insights into how Airbnb’s context and business model shape one another. Those interactions determine the success of the platform, the viability of its facilitator, the dependability of services for guests and hosts, and externalities experienced by other stakeholders. Understanding Airbnb’s business model shows how the design choices as a dynamic equilibrium (Demil & Lecocq, 2010) have shaped and are being shaped by the evolution of Airbnb and its interactions with guests, hosts, and other contextual contingencies. This review of scholarly work on Airbnb shows that only few studies focus specifically on Airbnb’s business model. Figure 2.1: Scholarly publications mentioning Airbnb (dots represent year of first publication source: Scopus) At the time of writing, there was another half year for new articles to be registered on Scopus. The slight decline between 20 is likely explained by the cut-off of the search in July 2020. The sharp increase in 2019 is partially explained by Annals in Tourism Research launching its virtual curated collection on peer-to-peer accommodation leading to a surge in new submissions. The first publications for each set are marked with a colour-corresponding dot. They thus fall short of meeting the standards of the broader research program on business models as a theoretical concept (e.g., Foss & Saebi, 2018 Massa et al., 2017).įigure 2.1 shows the number of Scopus-registered articles published by year for the search terms Airbnb and Airbnb + “business model”. Most of these articles do not analyse Airbnb’s business model as an integrated logic of value creation and capture. Only 53 articles address the business model of Airbnb, with the first one published by Daniel Guttentag (2015). The focus of most studies is on guest and host behaviour, the interaction among different stakeholders, and regulation. Of the 602 articles, 46% appeared in tourism and hospitality journals, with the International Journal of Hospitality Management (45 articles), Annals of Tourism Research (26 articles), and Tourism Management (23 articles) the main outlets. The first article mentioning Airbnb in Scopus was published by Robin Chase (2011) in the Journal of Urban Regeneration & Renewal. About two thirds of them appeared in the fields of business (34%) and social science (29%). For both its merit and associated conflict, Airbnb has become an iconic, category-defining case study in industry and scholarly discourse (Dolnicar, 2019 Kuhzady et al., 2020).Īs of July 2020, Elsevier’s Scopus database lists 602 scholarly articles on Airbnb published between 20 in English in peer-reviewed journals. While these additional entrepreneurial opportunities were welcomed, the success of Airbnb also presented host communities and other stakeholders with new sets of problems (e.g., Xie et al., 2020). ![]() In so doing, Airbnb demonstrated that a Silicon Valley-style start-up company (Gallagher, 2017) can scale in tourism and hospitality, and create a broad ecosystem that facilitates new entrepreneurial activity serving at a number of levels: hosts, and providers assisting hosts with service provision (e.g., Sibbritt et al., 2019 Sigala & Dolnicar, 2018). ![]() By facilitating an online peer-to-peer trading platform, Airbnb has extended short-term accommodation capacity in unprecedented ways (Dolnicar, 2019), and provoked strong responses from both the established commercial tourism accommodation sector (Zach et al., 2020) and local regulators (von Briel & Dolnicar, 2020).Īirbnb has adapted the platform business model to the long tail of hospitality in ways that had not been attractive to established distribution networks (Reinhold et al., 2020). ![]() The academic fascination with Airbnb, but not with its business modelīy reinventing home stays and tourism experiences, Airbnb has introduced to the tourism and hospitality sectors one of the most fascinating innovations of the past decade. ![]() ![]() Turn 90 degrees once more and walk back to your starting point. Then, turn 90 degrees and walk back to the equator. This time, start at Earth’s equator and walk to the North Pole. This is the standard Euclidean geometry that we all learned in high school, and if you add one more dimension you get a flat universe.īut conducting this experiment on a positively curved space that’s representative of a closed universe would create a different outcome. Do this twice more and you’ll find yourself back where you started - you’ve completed a square. Walk another 10 feet and turn 90 degrees again. Walk 10 feet along the wall to the next corner, then turn 90 degrees. Say you’re standing in one corner of a square room. What does a flat universe mean, though? This flatness isn’t the two-dimensional kind we often encounter in everyday life, but you can envision it with a few analogies. (Perhaps this will come as some consolation to anyone disappointed by our planet’s roundness.) Flat in 3D Most cosmological evidence points to the universe’s density as being just right - the equivalent of around six protons per 1.3 cubic yards - and that it expands in every direction without curving positively or negatively. There’s also a Goldilocks scenario for the universe, which scientists say is the most plausible. This would form an open universe with negative curvature resembling a saddle. On the other hand, if the universe’s density is low and unable to stop the expansion, space will warp in the opposite direction. An intergalactic Ferdinand Magellan could circumnavigate it, traversing space forever without hitting a wall or falling over an edge. A mind-boggling property of this universe is that it is finite, yet it has no bounds. This is known as the closed model, with positive curvature resembling a sphere. If the universe’s density is great enough for its gravity to overcome the force of expansion, then the universe will curl into a ball. The universe’s density refers to how much of this matter is packed into a given volume of space. The remainder is normal matter, which accounts for planets, stars and other bodies. Roughly 68 percent of the universe is dark energy and 27 percent is dark matter. ![]() ![]() The ultimate structure of the universe depends on just two factors: its density and its rate of expansion. This astronomical geometry is no trivial matter - the fate of the cosmos depends on it.Īs Princeton University cosmologist David Spergel puts it, “The shape of the universe tells us about its past and its future.” Whether the universe will expand forever or eventually collapse, and whether it’s finite or infinite - all are questions that tie back to its shape.įor a matter that bears on such grand questions, its components are remarkably simple. The theory of general relativity, under which space itself can curve, allows for the universe to take one of three forms: flat like a sheet of paper, closed like a sphere, or open like a saddle. ![]() ![]() If you will be travelling abroad, check for how long your passport must be valid and whether you will require a visa.

However, the Golden Lute damages all nearby enemies whenever Melody moves, so she doesn't need to pause to attack enemies, allowing her to clear entire rooms without having to stop.

![]() ![]() We did the math, and although you’re getting an additional $250 to $350 worth of equipment compared to the Complete package, you’re actually paying more than $500 for it! So, if you do choose Brinks Home Security, we recommend purchasing the Essential or Complete package with add-ons for the best value.Īnother attractive aspect of Brinks Home Security is that their packages are completely customizable with add-ons from high-quality brands like GE and Qolsys. Instead, this package contains a SkyBell video doorbell camera ($199 value), an outdoor camera ($249 value), and free professional installation. Smart Security Ultimate – $1,099įinally, the Brinks Smart Security Ultimate package includes everything in the lower-tier options, except for the indoor camera. Monitoring will cost you an additional $39 per month. With GreenSky financing, you can save even more money by financing the equipment over 36 months. We found this package to be a great deal considering the extra equipment included. If you purchase the package upfront, it only costs $349. As with the Smart Security Essential system, this package offers on-the-go access through the mobile app. The Brinks Smart Security Complete package includes everything in the Smart Security Essential bundle, plus an indoor camera with night vision, as well as an extra entryway sensor and a motion detector. Overall, we found this bundle to be a great system for the money, especially considering the sleek and modern touchscreen controls of the panel. Smart Security Essential is $199, and the monitoring service costs $39 per month. This package includes a Brinks Home Hub touchscreen control panel, a wireless motion sensor, two wireless door sensors, and a yard sign. The Brinks Smart Security Essential package is your basic DIY home security kit, with just enough features for the non-techies out there. Brinks also offers free shipping and a 30-day, money-back guarantee. We found the systems incredibly easy to install ourselves, but some users will certainly benefit from the professional installation option. ![]() That said, one nice thing about Brinks Home Security is that you can choose between DIY installation and professional installation. Keep in mind, Brinks is now focused more on custom-made security solutions than they are equipment packages, but these previously available kits can give you a good idea of how much you might pay. For more information, check out our full review of Brinks here. While you’ll pay less for equipment, you’ll have to pay a bit more for monitoring. When the dust settles, after factoring in equipment costs and monitoring, Brinks prices are just about average compared to other home security systems out there. But remember, you’ll have to purchase additional devices to access more advanced features. 3 That’s everything you need for complete home security and smart home automation. Brinks Packageīrinks does offer some helpful features with their monitoring plan, including 24-7 professional monitoring, smartphone control via the Brinks Home Security app, home automation options, LiveVoice Assist, live video streaming, and cloud storage of video recordings. As it stands, Brinks only offers one monitoring plan, whereas most brands offer three or more options at different prices. Also, we’d like to see a more diverse lineup of options. And we really didn’t see enough difference to warrant Brinks being more expensive than these brands. We’ve tested other home security brands, like Ring Alarm and SimpliSafe, that charge less than $30 a month. Next, you’ll pay $39 per month for Brinks professional monitoring, which is a touch pricey compared to other providers. Just be sure to choose the system that supports the features you want, such as video or home automation. Tip: Sometimes, it’s wise to buy a basic home security package and add devices to suit your specific needs. ![]() ![]() He looks like a cross between Jimmy Nail and Mike Skinner of The Streets."
