Why Shopping Online Will Be Big This Holiday Season
Posted by nick_niesen on November 1st Solde Femme Nike Air Presto BR Rose , 2010

Traditionally, the December holiday season is the most important part of the year for many businesses, especially those in retail. But so far, predictions aren't that rosy for this year's profits. High gas prices, high cost of living Solde Nike Air Presto Qs Verte , and low consumer confidence are expected to put a damper on the holiday shopping plans for many.

But that's not entirely true for everyone. You can expect online shopping to be bigger than ever. Why? Let me outline a few reasons why online retail sites like Amazon, to small home-based operations will be raking in the cash in the weeks ahead.

1. Very few are going to blow off the holidays, even if funds are low. And most people will buy cheaper gifts rather than cross some loved ones off their shopping list. When people don't have a lot of disposable cash, they look for low prices. Suddenly bargain hunting becomes the order of the day.

Expect masses of North Americans to flock to online retail sites in ever greater numbers. The super-low overhead of online retail allows sites to offer wide selection at the lowest prices on Earth. After a decade of Internet shopping, millions of people are now fully aware of this truth. Expect a very large percentage of them to purchase some or all of their gifts online.

2. Gas is still high and may go even higher in the weeks ahead. This means wading through clogged streets filled with holiday shoppers is something most of our pocket books just don't want to go through. High gas prices also mean paying for online purchases to be shipped to you is no longer an imposition. Many will be thinking "The 3 bucks for shipping is a lot less than the $20 I'll spend driving all over town to the malls."

3. People are working harder than ever. The demands of one Solde Nike Air Presto SE Woven Bleu , two, even three jobs while taking care of family is leaving millions of Americans will zero free time. This means they need to sandwich holiday shopping into their lunch break or even during a slow period at work. Yes, expect these folks to also do their shopping online in unprecedented numbers.

The bottom line is clear: if you're a consumer, give yourself a needed break and do your holiday gift buying online. If you're an online retailer, get ready for a holiday buying season you may not soon forget.

LONDON Femme Nike Air Presto QS Rouge Blanche Solde , May 3 (Xinhua) -- Older people should play active video games to boost their brain health, a study by academics at the University of Manchester showed Wednesday.

A study found that active gaming is good for brain health and memory and video games which involve physical activity significantly boost our brain health as people get older, experts found.

Study authors Dr Emma Stanmore and Joseph Firth say systems that use physical activity for gaming, such as Wii and Xbox Kinect, can boost brain functioning in people with neurological impairment Nike Air Presto Rouge Bordeaux Solde , as well as keeping minds healthy and active as people age.

In the first ever analysis of all published evidence, the researchers studied data from 17 clinical trials examining the effects of active gaming on cognitive functioning across almost 1,000 people.

Their results have been published in the journal Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, describing what was a collaboration between the University of Manchester, King's College London Solde Nike Air Presto SE Woven Grise , KU Leuven and ETH Zurich.

Firth said: "As people age, their brain functioning, such as memory, concentration and spatial awareness naturally decline.

"Various neurological conditions such Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, mild cognitive impairment Homme Nike Air Presto QS Grise Solde , and dementia can also impede people's cognitive functioning and reduce their ability to function day to day.

"Recently, there has been much interest in using active video games in the rehabilitation of these conditions, and to promote healthy aging.

"So we were fascinated to learn that the available evidence shows how these sort of games can significantly improve overall cognitive functioning, and is particularly beneficial for attention, executive functioning and visuospatial abilities.

"Physically-active video games have Homme Nike Air Presto Noir Rouge Solde , according to our research, greater impact on brain functioning than regular physical activity alone, suggesting that their benefits are more than just moving around."

Dr Stanmore has just completed a randomised controlled trial in 18 sites in Manchester and Glasgow.

The trial showed that MIRA games improved balance, pain and fear of falling after 12 weeks' use.

She said: "Our research shows the potential of active video games that can be used independently at home and remotely supervised by therapists .

"The brain benefits may be because these activities are physically demanding, while also requiring concentration and cognitive effort Solde Homme Nike Air Presto Noir , resulting in positive effects for body and brain.

"We hope this research will encourage the NHS (Britain's National Health Service) and social services to take up active gaming as part of their support packages, as some are already starting to do."
