Frazier ,mya (11/14/2006) Target find way to beat Wal-Mart online.



Target VS. Wal-Mart


In September 2005, on the holiday season target won the challenge on Wal-Mart online, The audience grew from 83% to 11.4 million compared with 2004. The average ticket of target.com shoppers is $151 million VS. $59 million at Wakmart.com target logged 25% growth sales on online sales to $765 million in 2004 compared to 8% growth to $782 million in 2004 for Walmart.com. Over all online sales jumped to 25% for full year.

Kurt peters who is an editor of internet retailer which publishes an annual list of the top 400 e-retailing sites said “ When it comes to online sales, Wal-Mart is a real laggard.”

Rual Vazquez VP Marketing for Walmart.com Disputes the figures and says “our number now are fantastic.”

On the other hand analysts expect analysts expect that Target sales online will increase to 125%.



I’m nor sure that Target will beat Wal-Mart because of the long experience and I think that the second in the U.S. market is a good vision for Target but who now maybe one day Target will beat Wall-mark and be the first in the U.S.

Stress..!


Seal (1997) in “what is stress,” discusses what stress is and what the types of stress are.Stress has been defined in several ways it is the terms or applied to slimily or event in the environment that make physical and emotional demand on us. Stress: is an emotional or physical reaction to demanding events or stimuli. A stressor: is an event or stimulus that cause stress.
Hans Seyle a researches and a writer about stress says that animals and human react to stress in there stages collectedly known as the general adaptation syndrome. The stages stress are: first, the alarm reaction that happen when the human or animal recognize the danger. Next, the stage of resistance in this stage the human or animal try to resist the or avoid the problem. Finally, the human or animals avoid or fined a solution for his problem than hi will beat the stress but if he didn’t find the problem than he will be exhaustion and that is not good for hem.
Seyle develop of general adoption such as in animals painful tail-pulling consequently lead to the same sorts of stress reactions. In human however it is harder to predict what will be stressful so it depend on the person subjective appraisal of that stimulus also in human moreover the specific stress reaction is likely to very widely some stressful situations give rise predominately to emotion of fear some to anger some to helplessness and depression

Health for a happy future

Health is one of the main issues in out lives. It's very important to be healthy so a people can enjoy their lives. To be healthy you have to sleep because it's important for our bodies and minds to function normally. Also eating healthy food helps our bodies grow and stay healthy. Last, exercise is the key factor in reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Living a healthy life depends on there main things, Sleeping, Eating healthy food and Exercise.

Sleeping is the medicine of our life. Researchers found that if a person doesn’t sleep for two to their weeks will die. Sleep either allows or promotes physiological processes, which rejuvenate the body and the mind. Sleep conserves energy. Since energy consumption drops during sleep. It takes a lot of energy to keep us warm-blooded animals warm-blooded.

Healthy Eating make us happy. Food is the body main source of vitamins, protein. Healthy food, especially fruits and vegetables is healthier which lead to long living. Avoiding coffin and cola make us in a good mode and felling less stressed and stress in not good for your bodies.

Exercise reduces illness. Exercise helps us lose weight, Exercise will induce endorphins Exercise decrease the risk of a heart attack, high stress levels and the risk of breast cancer.

I believe that if a person eat, sleep and exercise in a good way he will be able to enjoy his life more than other people who don't and may be live longer than people who don't have a healthy life. A good health will avoid going to hospitals in an older age. A good health will also make you able to do some activates that other cannot do, like sport.

Online Advertisement is increasing auto sales



Advertisement is increasing on the internet more than the old fashion television commercial advertisement way. Confront with new online generation, Detroit carmakers are developing an online sire to attract young auto buyers. Ford Motor Company just finished its online documentary series. Ford is working hard to connect with its customers through the two-min video segment. Other companies are trying to contact with their customers by using the online multimedia. Aero Lenzini, a vice president with the William motor agency said "it's about telling your own stories through entertainment," he also said that "Its bravo new world of media and entertainment," he also give many examples from Fore and GM.



The advertisement on the internet is growing very fast. Its one of the fastest way to connect the target customer and in the same time it's cheaper than the television advertisement. Ford, gm, and other car makers are shifting to internet advertisement because it appears to be more powerful than the old classical way, the can broadcast their advertisement for free by any video site on line. All of the auto maker factory's this days have their own web site where you can see and choose the size and the color of the car that you want, some of the web site also give you the opportunity to build your car where you can change most of the details of the car and put them in the way you like. I believe that carmakers should tell their customers about their history and make them now the different generations so they can feel more connected to this car or company, foe example Ford's show room in Dammam city have a section of Ford's old cars and television shows you will also find some old pictures from the desert where they will show an old man standing next to a old Ford pickup, some companies don’t do this kind of things but on the other hand you will see some old car shows where you will find some TOYOTA and NISSAN because I think from my experiment are more reliable specially in a plaice like Saudi Arabia. That means that some companies are paying some money and others are getting it for free.

New Saudi Economic City Will Attract $7.9 BD

King Abdullah Alsaud had opened the biggest economic city in the Middle East on June 15, 2006. This city is considered to be one of the largest economic cities in the Middle East for logistic and supply chain according to the Gulf Daily. The project was launched in Hail City, located 600km north of Riyadh The capital of Saudi Arabia. This city is expected to create thousands of jobs for Saudi youth. The project is devolved by the investment foundation supervised by the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA) and leaded by Rakizah Holding Company.


I believe that this new economic city’s are good for the economy because in Saudi Arabia the rates of population are increasing and there are now jobs specially like a small city like Hail, and because of that people are moving to the capital which will make it more crowdie. Hail and qassim and other city’s where having some investment problem because their where not enough jobs, so people started moving from it and that lead to loss in some business their who where depending in the local people to buy from them. This city’s will refresh the city’s real estate and lands apartments, which will increase the price. My uncle lives in an industrial city which is similar to the economic city and he is doing good and the thing that it is more cheaper than the big city’s and more safer and has it own health club and other facilities so I think it’s fun and not that bad. This city’s give the Saudi economic good money by foreign investment. This will make Saudi Arabia depend on other sources not just oil, which will give the economic some balance. This city’s will help doing other business like entertainment, banking and other needs. I think that this city’s will gust bring good things to the kingdom.
