Finger Lakes: Geneva on the Lake

You’ll feel like you’re in another world on the edge of Seneca Lake. Every little detail will transport you back in time, from the heavily decorated dining room to the 17^th-century furniture. As a bonus, the elegant vacation spot is not far from the Wine Trail, making it very easy to drink a glass.

New Paltz: Mohonk Mountain House

The only decision you’ll have to make at this holiday village is how many of the activities you want to try. On the list of options are skating and cross-country skiing, not to mention additional offerings like a cocktail tasting in an extremely beautiful castle.

Suppose you don’t need your car today. And suppose, as it happens, that a stranger in your area does need a car. Would you be willing to rent yours out?

Several car-sharing start-ups, including Getaround, RelayRides and JustShareIt, are eager to connect car owners with renters this way. The companies have different rules, but participating owners receive, generally speaking, about two-thirds of the rental earnings. RelayRides says an owner of a midsize, late-modelsedanwho rents out a car for 10 hours a week could expect to clear about $3,000 year.

Peer-to-peer(对等的) car sharing remains in the trail stage; it can be found in San Francisco and a few other places. It has a long way to go before it becomes the auto equivalent(相等的东西,等量) of Airbnb, the surprise success story for peer-to-peer sharing of space in apartments and houses.

Shelby Clark, founder of RelayRides, says potential inventors in his company have been concerned that owners will be afraid to hand their cars over to strangers. To address that, he points to Airbnb, saying, “Letting people sleep in your living room is much more of a disturbance into your personal space than letting someone use your car.”

All of these companies offer their own insurance coverage(承保范围,保证金) for their renters, which are supposed to put owners’ mind at ease. But only two states—California and Oregon—have passed laws to clarify that an owner will not suffer any consequences if a car-sharing renter has an accident.

“In all the other states, legal ambiguity(模棱两可) remains,” Shelby Clark says. “If a renter should be involved in a serious accident in those states, the victim can be expected to go after every party possible, including the car’s owner. ”

Also to remove the worries of car owners, the driving records of renters are checked for recent serious violations(违反,犯规).

What’s the biggest online shopping day in the world? Not Valentine’s Day. Not Cyber Monday or Black Friday. The winner is China’s Singles’Day, celebrated on November11, or 11.11.

Singles’Day began as a day for unmarried or uncoupled people to celebrate their lives. Single students, looking for an excuse to buy themselves presents, started it on November11,1993, reported The Guardian. It is symbolized by the four mumber ones in the date of November11 and is also called Double Eleven, in reference to the day it was started, said the BBC. It became a major shopping day in 2009. The CEO of an online shopping site --Alibaba-- tried to increase sales at the e-commerce company. The CEO, Daniel Zhang, launched an annual online sale on that day, said Fortune. When it first began, “Sigles’Day was very much an offline comfort to actual single people,” noted the website atlas Obscura.” A small group of students at Nanjing University are said to have chosen 11.11 as a day that singles could do activities like karaoke together.” It quickly became a cultural phenomenon.

Last year, Alibaba sold more than $1 billion worth of products in the first three minutes of the sales, reported Bloomberg News. Total sales on Singles’Day soared to $9 billion within 24 hours. That’s four times bigger than Cyber Monday in the U.S., which is the Monday after Thanksgiving and traditionally a big shopping day. By comparison, online sales in the U.S. last year on Black Friday were just $1.5 billion, reported TechCrunch.

Today, Singles’Day is very successful. Analysts say that this year, sales on China’s Singles’Day will increase to a new high. In the U.S., Jennifer Wang, a co-founder of a company targeting Chinese-Americans, said, “We expect to have 3 million people coming to click Dealmoon for the Singles’Day launch.” Some observers think Singles’Day could catch on globally.
