2 . Get started on Airbnb
Create your listing
Your listing is like an advertisement for your space, so make it as attractive as possible, while being honest about details.
➢Start with basics. Enter details like the location of your place, and the number of bedrooms guests will have access to.
➢Take best photos. Guests love looking through photos when making a decision. Tidy up your space beforehand and use natural light to get quality shots.
➢Highlight unique details. Put stress on what makes your place special. Also, note aspects that might be important to know before booking, like the parking space.
Organize the details
Your next step will be working out details to make the hosting process run smoothly.
➢Add House Rules. To help guests understand your expectations, add House Rules, including limits on smoking, pets, or parties.
➢Set up calendar. To get reservations only when you're able to host, update your Airbnb Calendar regularly.
➢Choose your price. How much you charge is up to you, but Airbnb has Smart Pricing to help you match price with demand, and Pricing Control for specific requirements.
Prepare your space
Whether you're expecting your 1st or 100th guest, these steps are to ensure your space is ready.
➢Tidy up. Clean the house, especially bedrooms. Make sure there's no hair or dust and, most importantly, that the beds are with fresh sheets.
➢Store valuables. If you have valuables, store them in storage facility.
➢Consider providing supplies. To help guests feel at home, consider providing shampoo, toilet paper, and towels. It can't hurt to prepare some for guests.
➢Add finishing touches. Cuests love details. Small gifts can make them feel welcome, but definitely aren't required.

5 . iPhone 12
Outlook
Featuring the same 6.1-inch display size as the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR before it, iPhone 12 is making the transition from an LCD screen to OLED. With flat aluminum sides for an overall look, it more closely matches the iPad Pro and iPad Air. Aside from the flat sides, iPhone 12 still largely resembles the iPhone 11. Around back, it has two cameras housed in a glass circle, which makes for a nice contrast with the rest of the smooth back panel. To avoid being broken or cracked when dropped, iPhone 12 is covered with what Apple describes as a “ceramic shield”.
Camera
The iPhone 12 has a 12-megapixel f/1.6 main camera-the fastest aperture(光圈) in any iPhone yet. The low-light performance has improved, and its advancements in computational photography to maximize detail and dynamic range has also been achieved. The front camera on the iPhone 12 is gaining Night Mode, as well.
Processor
iPhone 12 is powered by the company’s new A14 Bionic processor, which is the first smartphone chip built on a 5nm process, leading to improved performance and efficiency. It’s claimed that the processor is up to 50 percent faster than the leading chips in Android smartphones.

6 . Many people like travelling, but they cannot take their dogs wherever they go. Some people let their dogs stay alone at home while others ask someone else to take care of their pets. If you're leaving your beloved pet at home for a holiday, it can turn into a bad experience. Luckily, you don't have to worry about your dogs any more because Rover can cover for you while you are on leave. Rover is the latest service to offer at home dog boarding. It's a good alternative (替代物) to boarding your dog at a dog boarding kennel (狗舍) or your neighbour's house.
The way Rover works is sort of like Airbnb. Dog owners browse the "search" section of the site or app for pet sitters, which can be organized by zip code and available dates. Information of pet sitters is provided, complete with many reviews, specific services and rates. Now Rover has over 25,000 pet sitters in more than 5,000 US cities. And they're all experienced pet sitters.
After finding someone that meets your needs, just send messages to the pet sitter to arrange a meeting. Then, like Rover says, all that is left to do is relax! Rover's pet sitters are encouraged to send text and picture information throughout the day, and if there's a medical emergency, the site will send a vet. Besides, don't worry about a pet sitter who falls through, because someone else will soon take his or her place.
