◆Forces other than damaging winds are also at work inside tornadoes (龙卷风)Sometimesas the wind passes a housethe walls and ceiling burst apart as if a bomb had gone off insideThis explosion is caused by the low air pressure at the center of a tornado
The pressure at the center of a tornado is usually 13 pounds per square inchHoweverinside the house the air pressure is normalabout 15 pounds per square inchThe difference of 2 pounds per square inch between the inside and outside pressure may not seem like muchBut suppose a tornado passes over a small building that measures 20 by 10 by 10 feetOn each square inch of the buildingthere is 2 pounds of pressure from the inside that is not balanced by air pressure outside the buildingOn the ceilingthat adds up to an unbalanced pressure of 57 600 poundsThe pressure of the four walls adds up to 172 800 pounds
If windows are open in the buildingsome of the inside air will rush out through themThis will balance the pressure inside and outside the buildingBut if the windows are shut tightlythe huge inside pressure may cause the building to burst
Unfortunatelyheavy rain often occurs in the storms that later produce tornadoesso people often shut their windowsThis may cause far worse damage later

◆Lynne Shaner used the Internet to buy everything she needed for her wedding and holiday gifts for her husband and stepdaughterOther than food90 percent of her purchases are made on the computer in her Washington apartment
I find thatby being able to go online and choose the things that I need to chooseand have them delivered to me right at my doorstepI eliminate all the drivingall the crowdsall the noise of thatand I usually get a better selection Shaner explained
Analysts say US online shopping has hit records in November and DecemberFiftyseven percent of Americans have made at least one online purchaseTraditional merchants worry that the growing ecommerce will shrink their share of the marketCornell University Marketing Professor Ed McLaughlin says they have reason for concern
Anything that can move online will goIt is just a matter of time he statedMcLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by offering The overall volume of B2B transactions is much higher than the volume of B2C transactionsThe primary reason for this is that in a typical supply chain there will be many B2B transactionssuch as selling components (零部件) and materials howeverthere will be only one B2C transactionthat isthe sale of the finished product to the end customerFor examplean automobile manufacturer makes several B2B transactions such as buying tiresglass for windscreensand rubber hoses for its vehiclesThe final transactiona finished vehicle sold to the consumeris a single (B2C) transactiongoods like clothingwhich customers may want to see and try on before purchasingas well as items that are difficult to shipHe says some bricks and mortar stores are also pleasing customers with services that set up or repair computers and electronics7 Traditional stores also offer a social experience that some shoppers enjoy
Oftentimesyou need that last sense of ’this is exactly what I want before you part with your money he saidAnd you can’t always get that onlineIt’s a rather cold processTraditional stores can also deliver goods more quickly than online retailers Martin saysAnd smart merchants are using stores to guide customers to websites and using their websites to encourage customers to visit their stores
While ecommerce worries some merchantsit’s a huge boost for delivery services like FedEx and UPSUPS Manager Dana Kline says ecommerce means her company is even busier than usual this time of yearWe are expecting 28 million pieces on their peak daywhich is December．which is up about a million from last year she notedUPS is so busy that it’s hiring 55000 temporary workers during the holiday season to deliver giftsThose packages are headed for homesincluding Lynne Shaner’s purchase

◆Forces other than damaging winds are also at work inside tornadoes (龙卷风)Sometimesas the wind passes a housethe walls and ceiling burst apart as if a bomb had gone off insideThis explosion is caused by the low air pressure at the center of a tornado
The pressure at the center of a tornado is usually 13 pounds per square inchHoweverinside the house the air pressure is normalabout 15 pounds per square inchThe difference of 2 pounds per square inch between the inside and outside pressure may not seem like muchBut suppose a tornado passes over a small building that measures 20 by 10 by 10 feetOn each square inch of the buildingthere is 2 pounds of pressure from the inside that is not balanced by air pressure outside the buildingOn the ceilingthat adds up to an unbalanced pressure of 57 600 poundsThe pressure of the four walls adds up to 172 800 pounds
If windows are open in the buildingsome of the inside air will rush out through themThis will balance the pressure inside and outside the buildingBut if the windows are shut tightlythe huge inside pressure may cause the building to burst
Unfortunatelyheavy rain often occurs in the storms that later produce tornadoesso people often shut their windowsThis may cause far worse damage later

◆Lynne Shaner used the Internet to buy everything she needed for her wedding and holiday gifts for her husband and stepdaughterOther than food90 percent of her purchases are made on the computer in her Washington apartment
I find thatby being able to go online and choose the things that I need to chooseand have them delivered to me right at my doorstepI eliminate all the drivingall the crowdsall the noise of thatand I usually get a better selection Shaner explained
Analysts say US online shopping has hit records in November and DecemberFiftyseven percent of Americans have made at least one online purchaseTraditional merchants worry that the growing ecommerce will shrink their share of the marketCornell University Marketing Professor Ed McLaughlin says they have reason for concern
Anything that can move online will goIt is just a matter of time he statedMcLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by offering The overall volume of B2B transactions is much higher than the volume of B2C transactionsThe primary reason for this is that in a typical supply chain there will be many B2B transactionssuch as selling components (零部件) and materials howeverthere will be only one B2C transactionthat isthe sale of the finished product to the end customerFor examplean automobile manufacturer makes several B2B transactions such as buying tiresglass for windscreensand rubber hoses for its vehiclesThe final transactiona finished vehicle sold to the consumeris a single (B2C) transactiongoods like clothingwhich customers may want to see and try on before purchasingas well as items that are difficult to shipHe says some bricks and mortar stores are also pleasing customers with services that set up or repair computers and electronics7 Traditional stores also offer a social experience that some shoppers enjoy
Oftentimesyou need that last sense of ’this is exactly what I want before you part with your money he saidAnd you can’t always get that onlineIt’s a rather cold processTraditional stores can also deliver goods more quickly than online retailers Martin saysAnd smart merchants are using stores to guide customers to websites and using their websites to encourage customers to visit their stores
While ecommerce worries some merchantsit’s a huge boost for delivery services like FedEx and UPSUPS Manager Dana Kline says ecommerce means her company is even busier than usual this time of yearWe are expecting 28 million pieces on their peak daywhich is December．which is up about a million from last year she notedUPS is so busy that it’s hiring 55000 temporary workers during the holiday season to deliver giftsThose packages are headed for homesincluding Lynne Shaner’s purchase
