Camping at the Bodnarosa Motel and Campground is ideal for those wanting to visit the Lehigh Gorge State Park, which sprawls across more than 4,500 acres around the Lehigh Gorge. It encompasses a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-built dam. It is particularly renowned as a whitewater rafting destination, with a few local outfitters offering thrilling trips through the gorge. If you prefer to stretch your legs, you can follow part or all of the 26-mile-long Lehigh Gorge Trail, with this hiking and cycling route extending all the way from White Haven to Jim Thorpe. It's renowned for its beautiful rhododendron blooms in July, as well as being a popular snowmobiling destination in the winter months.Continue driving east from the Lehigh Gorge State Park, and you'll arrive at the Hickory Run State Park. This 15,990-acre reserve sprawls across the Pocono Mountains. It is a hub for recreational pursuits, with swimming possible in Sand Spring Lake in the summer months and ice skating in the winter. More than 40 miles of hiking trails also traverse the park, ranging from the 1.5-mile Shades of Death Trail to the longer Gould and Pine Hill Trails that are accessible to cross-country skiers in the snow season. Hunting is also permitted in some areas of the park, with white-tailed deer, black bear, and squirrels all for the taking.A 45-minute drive south of the Bodnarosa Motel and Campground is the Tuscarora State Park, which is named for the Tuscarora Indians, who once inhabited the area. It centers around the waters of Tuscarora Lake, where you can try your luck at luring bass, yellow perch, and trout, with a walking trail along the shores that accesses a series of tranquil fishing spots. Alternatively, you can follow the old logging road that winds through the park or challenge yourself on a trek to the summit of Locust Mountain for sweeping views across the surrounding region.
Exploring the City
Campsites at the Bodnarosa Motel and Campground are just five minutes' drive from Berwick, where you'll find supermarkets for stocking up on grocery supplies. There are also gas stations here if you need to fill up your RV rental and a wide selection of eateries that include fast-food restaurants, pizzerias, and gastropubs.Berwick was founded in 1786 on the north bank of the Susquehanna River and is renowned today for its championship football team, the Bulldogs, and its iconic Christmas Boulevard light display. Don't miss a visit to the Jackson Mansion and Carriage House, which is now home to the Berwick Historical Society. Constructed in 1877, the mansion is renowned for its Second Empire and Italianate architecture, with Doric columns and a facade covered in Vermont stone. Admire the replica of the Statue of Liberty and the World War I Memorial in front of the mansion, then step inside to explore the period-furnished rooms that include the Formal Parlor, the Billiard Room, and the former office of Clarence G. Jackson. Also listed on the National Register of Historic Places is the Berwick Armory, a National Guard complex that includes a Tudor Revival-style drill hall and an American Craftsman administrative building that was added in 1930.Continue driving west, and you'll arrive at Bill's Old Bike Barn, a motorcycle and Americana museum that was opened by William Morris in 1999. It houses almost 200 vintage motorcycles that include early-20th-century Peugeots and Harley Davidsons, as well as a war-era Kettenkrad and a motorcycle dump truck designed by Moto Guzzi in the 1960s. In addition to its bikes, the museum also encompasses Billville, an indoor street clustered with replica shopfronts that include a barbershop, a fire station, and a tobacco shop.Whether you want to get active in the state parks of eastern Pennsylvania or delve into the local history, book a camper rental in Columbia County and start planning your next vacation.

What type of RV should I choose?
Start by determining how many people are planning to travel with you. Going on a solo-journey? Choose a camper van or a teardrop trailer. Bringing the whole family along for the ride? Consider a spacious Class A or five-wheel.
You'll also want to consider amenities. For example, if you're planning to cook on the road, you'll want a kitchenette. If your campground doesn't have public restrooms, you'll want to search RVs with bathrooms. Check out full descriptions of our models to help you decide here.
Do the RVs have bathrooms?
Yes. Class A's, Class B's, and Class C's and five-Wheels typically have bathrooms. Depending on where you plan on camping, you'll want to double-check the availability of restrooms if selecting a rig without a bathroom. Nervous about renting an RV with a bathroom? Owners can help show you how to clean the tank or will offer to do it for you for a fee.
How does check-in work?
Once an Owner approves your RV reservation, you can coordinate a time to pick up your rig or have it delivered to your doorstep or campsite. At that point, the owner will do a key exchange with you and walk you through the RV and answer any questions you might have.

Population structure and reproduction of a migratory fish leporinus piau (Characiformes: Anostomidae) in a semiarid tropical reservoir, Brazil.
Semiarid regions in Brazil exhibit river seasonality and a small hydrological network relative to other regions of Brazil; for this condition, a water resources policy was established for Brazilian semiarid areas, based on water accumulation during the rainy periods, and through the construction of reservoirs for water supply, irrigation and agriculture (Vieira, Santos, & Curi, 2010). Such policies resulted in benefits to human populations but had negative impacts on aquatic environments related to changes in water quality, loss of biodiversity, and changes in spatial connectivity between water bodies (Petry, Bayley, & Markle, 2003).
With river dams construction, areas that had been subjected to seasonal flooding disappeared or decreased and may be flooded in different seasons. Such effects had caused the river to become a discontinuous environment and change the physical-chemical composition of the water, structure and functioning of the system, and resulting in a loss of spatial and temporal heterogeneity of the water course (Ward & Stanford, 1983), and negatively affecting the reproductive processes of fish (Agostinho, Gomes, Suzuki, & Julio, 2003). Because of its large home ranges, migratory fishes are particularly affected by reservoir construction (Agostinho, Gomes, & Pelicice, 2007). The interruption of migration routes, elimination or decrease of spawning and nursery and feeding areas, and effects of genetic isolation in populations, are examples of the negative effects of damming on migratory fish (Agostinho, et al., 2007). However, certain migratory species can maintain viable populations in reservoirs that possess flooding plains and tributaries, without dams upstream from the reservoir (Gubiani, Gomes, Agostinho, & Okada, 2007).
Specific knowledge on the reproduction and population dynamics is, therefore, necessary to understand and preserve natural fish stocks by means of sustainable utilization. Furthermore, studying these aspects provide important information on possible environmental disturbances, given that fishes ultimately show specific responses to these variations (Montenegro, Torelli, Crispim, & Medeiros, 2011). The genus Leporinus Spix, 1829 consists of approximately 80 species (Britski, Silimon, & Lopes, 2007) that present a migratory habit, reproduce during the rainy season, exhibit single-batch synchronous spawning (Tavares & Godinho, 1994), have a seasonal reproductive strategy (Winemiller, 1998), and demonstrate an omnivorous feeding habit (Gomes & Verani, 2003). Leporinus piau Fowler, 1941 is a species with wide distribution in the hydrographic basins of the Brazilian semiarid area (Nascimento et al., 2012), and it has ecological importance as a forager fish (Alvim & Peret, 2004). This species is also important for artisanal, subsistence and sport fishing, and also has great potential for aquaculture (Filho, Nascimento, Araujo, Barros, & Chellappa, 2012; Novaes, Freire, Amorim, & Costa, 2015).
The goal of the present study was to analyze the population structure and reproductive dynamics of L. piau by quantifying the abundance, length structure, length-weight relationship, sex ratio, length at first maturity, gonad development stage, gonadosomatic index (GSI), and reproductive stages. Studies of fish species using this approach are important to obtain information that can be used in the development of fishery management policies and species conservation programs. Within this context, the present study was based on the hypothesis that the reproductive period of L. piau coincides with the rainy season between February and May, which represents a seasonal reproductive strategy. If this hypothesis is confirmed, the Normative Instruction 209/2008 of the Instituto Brasileiro de Meio Ambiente e Recursos Naturais Renovaveis (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources, 2008), which prohibits fishing, transport, commercialization, industrialization and storage of Leporinus species between December 1 and February 28 in rivers and reservoirs of the Brazilian Northeastern area, may be ineffective in its goal of protecting the species during its reproductive and recruiting season.
Study site and sampling: The Apodi/ Mossoro River is located in Northeast Brazil and has a length of 210 km from its source to its mouth at the Atlantic Ocean, and it has an annual flow of approximately 360 million [m.sup.3]/year (Almeida, Cuellar, Costa, & Amorim, 2006). This Brazilian region has a semiarid climate and is characterized by high temperatures (annual average of 32.2[grados]C) and a short rainy season between February and May, which presents average annual rainfall amounts of 400-800 mm (Barbosa et al., 2012). The Pau dos Ferros Reservoir is located in the middle stretch of the river (06[grados]08'46" S--38[grados]11'27" W), and it was constructed in 1968 for water supply and irrigation, and has an area of 11.65 [km.sup.2] and approximate capacity of 54 million [m.sup.3] water. This reservoir is currently classified as eutrophic (Moura & Henry-Silva, 2015).
Samplings were performed quarterly between February 2011 and November 2012 at four points of the reservoir, distributed throughout a longitudinal gradient from dam to the mouth of the rivers in the reservoir (Fig. 1) using gillnets (12 to 70 mm mesh between adjacent knots) that were set at 17:00 and removed at 5:00 am the following day. The length of the nets was 15 m, the height was between 1.8 m and 2.0 m, and total area was 301.8 [m.sup.2]. The captured specimens were transported to the laboratory, sorted, identified, separated, and counted. Identifications were confirmed by taxonomists from the Federal University of Paraiba (Universidade Federal da ParaibaUFPB), and the samples were deposited at the ichthyology collection of the UFPB (catalog UFPB 8968 and 8938). The individual biometric parameters standard length (cm), total weight (g), sex (only the adult individuals for which sex could be confirmed were classified), gonad weight, and macroscopic gonad maturity stage were determined in the laboratory. The gonad maturity stages were classified into three categories adapted of Brown-Peterson, Wyanski, Saborido-Rey, Macewicz and Lowerre-Barbieri (2011): immature, reproductive (developing, spawning capable and regressing) and non-reproductive (regenerating).
Abundance was estimated by calculating the catch per unit effort (CPUE): CPUE= N/ ([m.sup.2] x h), where N= number of individuals captured; [m.sup.2=] net area (301.8 [m.sup.2] per site); and h= exposure time (12 h). The standard length classes were determined using a frequency histogram with a 5 cm class interval. The length-weight relationship was calculated using log-transformed data and the following equation (Froese, Tsikliras, & Stergiou, 2011): logWt= a + b logLp, where Wt= total weight; Ls= standard length; and 'a' and 'b' were constants. The sex ratio was calculated using the absolute frequency by counting the total number of females and males. To determine the length at first maturity ([L.sub.50]), the fish were considered "juveniles" (immature stage) or "adults" (developing, spawning capable, regressing and regenerating) and a logistic regression equation was fit using the general linear model (GLM), using the standard length as an independent variable. [P.sub.maturity] = ex[p.sup.(a + b + L)] * [1 + ex[p.sup.(a + b + L)]] - 1, where [P.sub.maturity] = the estimated proportion of mature individuals in relation to the total length (L). The coefficients were estimated using the iteratively reweighted least squares method (Hussy, Coad, Farrell, Clausen, & Clarke, 2012).
The reproductive period was identified based on the temporal distribution of the frequency of reproductive and non-reproductive individuals and the Gonadossomatic index (GSI) monthly average. The GSI was calculated using the following equation: GSI= (Wg /Wt)*100, where Wg= gonad weight; and Wt = total weight of fish. Rainfall data for the Pau dos Ferros Municipality were obtained from the website of the Empresa de Pesquisa Agropecuaria do Rio Grande do Norte (Agricultural Research Company of Rio Grande do Norte, 2015), and the reservoir level data were obtained from the website of the Secretaria Estadual de Meio Ambiente e Recursos Hidricos (State Secretary of Environment and Water Resources, 2015; Fig. 2).
Temporal variations of the continuous variables (CPUE and GSI) were analyzed using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis (H) test because the variables did not meet the normality assumption even after transformation. Differences in the standard length structure between males and females were tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Student's t-test was used to determine whether the b value in the length-weight relationship was equal 3 (isometric growth) (Froese et al., 2011). A chi-squared test ([ji al cuadrado]) was used to test whether the ratio between males and females was 1:1, and determine whether there were significant differences in the capture of reproductive and non-reproductive individuals over time. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to verify a possible correlation between the GSI and rainfall, CPUE and rainfall, and CPUE and reservoir level. All of the analyses were performed using the software platform R 3.0.2 (R Development Core Team, 2012), with significance measured at p<0.05.
A total of 549 individuals were captured, and the highest abundance was observed in May 2011, with an average CPUE= 0.025955 (SD= 0.010328) (ind.)/[m.sup.2] * h, and the lowest abundance was observed in August 2012, with a CPUE= 0.000759 (SD= 0.000472) ind./ [m.sup.2] * h. The average CPUE varied significantly between the different months (H= 20.71 ; p < 0.01) (Fig. 3); however, it was not correlated with rainfall (rs= 0.15 and P= 0.70) or the reservoir level (rs= 0.23 and P= 0.58).
The standard length of the captured individuals varied between 5.9 cm and 20.7 cm, and the total weight varied between 4.16 g and 271.5 g. According to the histogram analysis, the 5-10 cm standard length class presented the highest abundance of juveniles and the 10-15 cm class the highest abundance of adults (both male and female). Statistical differences were not observed in the standard length structure between males and females (D= 0.1732; P= 0.0503) (Fig. 4).
The length-weight relationship was fit by the equation [log.sub.10]Wt= -1.57711 + 3.00707 [Log.sub.10] Ls ([r.sup.2] = 0.9544), and the b value was statistically equal to 3 (t= 0.2510; P= 0.801), indicating that the species growth was isometric (Fig. 5).
Among the total individuals captured, 319 were juveniles and 230 were adults, of which 148 were males and 82 were females. The sex ratio was 1.8:1 (M:F), and it was significantly different from the expected ratio of 1:1 ([chi square]= 9.0; P < 0.05). The length at first maturity ([L.sub.50]) was estimated at 12.76 cm.
Mature individuals were captured every month except in August 2011 and August 2012. The highest frequencies of reproductive individuals were observed in February (2011: 96.85%, n= 31; 2012: 79.24%, n= 84) and May (2011: 87.50%, n= 7; 2012: 63.64%, n= 9). Non-reproductive individuals predominated in August (2011: 100%, n= 5; 2012: 100%, n= 9) and November (2011: 73.30%, n= 32; 2012: 61.53%, n= 8). Significant differences between the stages reproductive and non-reproductive individuals were observed for all months ([chi square] > 3.84; p < 0.05) except May and November 2012 (Fig. 6).
For females, the highest average GSI was observed in February (2011: 15.65, SE= 2.90; 2012: 10.48, SE= 3.30) and May (2011: 7.68, SE= 0.26; 2012: 2.69, SE= 1.01), and the lowest average GSI was observed in August (2011: 0.39, SE= 0.06; 2012: 0.70, SE= 0.43) and November (2011: 0.84, SE= 0.38; 2012: 2.13, SE= 1.70). For males, the highest average GSI values were observed in February (2011: 5.72, SE= 0.88; 2012: 4.41, SE= 1.49), and the lowest average GSI values were observed in August (2011: 0.54, SE= 0.11; 2012: 0.23, SE= 0.12) and November (2011: 1.64, SE= 0.56; 2012: 1.95, SE= 2.15). Statistically significant differences between the monthly GSI averages were observed for males (H= 40.86; P < 0.01) and females (H= 62.66; P < 0.01) (Fig. 7). The monthly GSI average variation for both males and females coincided with variations in rainfall (Fig. 7), and the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was significant and positive between rainfall levels and the GSI values for both males (r= 0.91; P < 0.01) and females (r= 0.91; P < 0.01).
Although abundance was not correlated with rainfall or the reservoir level, higher CPUE values were observed during the months with highest rainfall. In addition, the CPUE was higher in 2011 when the reservoir level was higher relative to the values in 2012. Rainfall is one of the most important factors affecting the structure of tropical aquatic ecosystems, and differences in the abundance of fish populations between rainy and dry seasons are expected (Lowe-Mcconnell, 1999). The increase in river flow during the rainy season, and also in increased reservoir levels and higher food availability and exploitable habitats, and in larger fish populations in the reservoirs (Terra, Santos, & Araujo, 2010). During the dry season, especially in semiarid regions, there is a strong decrease in the water level of reservoirs, because of high evaporation and water use. The decrease in water volume results in increased water temperature, thermal stratification, increased conductivity, and decreased oxygen concentrations, which may cause mortality and decrease fish population sizes (Bond, Lake, & Arthington, 2008). These limnological changes may have been more pronounced in 2012 when the reservoir level was relative to 2011 and likely caused a greater decrease in fish abundance. Another factor that may have resulted in the higher capture during the rainy season was the species migratory behavior during the reproductive period, which occurred during the rainy season (see discussion below). During the reproductive period, fish form schools and find shelter, prey, and spawning locations in flooded vegetation, thus becoming more susceptible to capture (Melo, Melo, Faria, Lacerda, & Silva, 2012).
In studies conducted at the Marechal Dutra Reservoir, Rio Grande do Norte State (RN), the standard length of L. piau was observed to vary between 6.15 cm and 22.0 cm (Montenegro, Torelli, Araujo Marinho, Crispim, & Hernandez, 2010) and between 9.6 cm and 32.9 cm (Nascimento, Araujo, Chellappa, & Chellappa, 2013). The maximum length of L. piau observed at the Pau dos Ferros Reservoir was lower when compared with data of previous studies. These differences may be related to several factors, particularly the physiology of individuals, which changes depending on environmental factors, food availability and nutritional quality, which affects the growth rate and mortality of the species, as well as the use of different capture equipment (Araya, Agostinho, & Bechara, 2005). Differences in the length structure between females and males are common in fish populations and reflect growth rate differences between sexes (Sparre & Venema, 1997).
These differences have been observed for other species of Leporinus in the Upper Parana River basin reservoirs, such as Leporinus friderici in the Itaipu and Corumba reservoirs (Lopes, Benedito-Cecilio, & Agostinho, 2000), and L. ambryrhynchus in the Miranda Reservoir (Vono, Silva, Maia, & Godinho, 2002). Significant differences in length structure were not observed between female and male L. piau at the Pau dos Ferros Reservoir, indicating that the growth rate was similar for both genders. Environments with a high abundance of juveniles indicated that the species found appropriate locations for the completion of their life cycle, including areas for spawning and larval and juvenile growth, thus enabling new individuals to be constantly recruited to the population (Juza et al., 2014). The abundance of L. piau juveniles in the Pau dos Ferros Reservoir was high, suggesting that the population of L. piau completes its life cycle in the area of the reservoir and/or in nearby areas.
Several studies have observed allometric growth for the Leporinus species, including the study by Garcia-Ayala, Brambilla, Travassos, Carvalho & David (2014) for L. spilopleura (Norman 1926), and L. steindachneri (Eigenmann 1907) at the Tucurui Reservoir, Para State (PA); the study by Montenegro et al. (2010), who observed negative allometric growth for L. piau at the Taperoa II dam in Paraiba State (PB); and the study by Nascimento et al. (2012) and Filho et al. (2012), who observed positive allometric growth for L. piau at the Marechal Dutra Reservoir (RN). Only Costa, Andrade, Vidal Junior and Souza (2005) observed isometric growth for L. copelandii (Steindachner 1875) at the Paraiba do Sul River. The isometric growth observed in the present study suggested that this species has been satisfactorily exploiting the food resources available in the reservoir and gaining weight proportional to their growth. Different types of growth may be related to different life strategies developed by different species in their environments because the construction of reservoirs and resulting changes in the ecosystem dynamics affect populations differently (Rego, Pinese, Magalhaes, & Pinese, 2008).
Differences in the sex ratio of fish populations may indicate environmental disturbances (Helfman, Bruce, Douglas, & Brian, 2009). The change of lotic environments (river) into lentic environments (reservoir) causes several disturbances that may affect the sex ratio, and these changes may have caused the differences in sex ratio observed in the present study. However, other factors may be associated with differences in sex ratio, such as differences in behavior and habitat preferences, which may increase the susceptibility of one of the sexes to capture (Casimiro, Garcia, Almeida, & Orsi, 2011). Therefore, the sexes may have been spatially segregated, with males and females inhabiting different areas of the reservoir, thus resulting in the observed sex ratios. In addition, factors such as differences in the mortality rate, selectivity of the capture equipment, and predatory fishing (affects males and females differently), which also causes deviations from the 1:1 ratio (Garcia, Vieira, Winemiller, & Raseira, 2004). Among these factors, mortality is considered determinant and may be affected by several factors, such as environmental changes and physicochemical disturbances caused by damming (Lourenco, Mateus, & Machado, 2008). In the present study, the length at first maturity estimated (12.76 cm) for L. piau was within the range observed for this species in other environments. The length at first maturity has been previously reported to be 8.3 cm for both females and males in the Ribeirao Jorge Pequeno hydroelectric plant reservoir, Minas Gerais State (MG) (Padilha, Carvalho, Boncompagni-Junior, Domingos, & Thome, 2013) and in the Marechal Dutra Reservoir (RN) was estimated as 17.5 cm for males and 21.0 cm for females (Nascimento et al., 2013). The differences observed between different studies may be related to the characteristic environmental conditions of each reservoir (Godinho, 2007), resulting in the adoption of different strategies by the local species (Winemiller, 1989; Orsi, 2010).
In our study, the highest values of the GSI and frequency of reproductive individuals were observed during the months with the highest rainfall. Therefore, the reproductive period of L. piau was defined between February and May. Filho et al. (2012) and Nascimento et al. (2013) estimated that the reproductive period of L. piau in the reservoir of Marechal Dutra (RN) occurred between April and June. L. friderici in the Upper Parana River basin presented a reproductive period between October and April (2000), L. reinhardti in the Sao Francisco River presented a reproductive period between November and February (Weber et al., 2013), and L. muyscorum in the Magdalena River Basin (Colombia) presented a reproductive period between April and June (Jimenez-Segura, Palacio, & Leite, 2010). In all of these studies, the reproductive period of the Leporinus species occurred during the period of highest rainfall. In general, fish with reproductive migrations reproduce during the rainy season when the conditions are favorable for egg development and provide greater protection against predators and, therefore, lower environmental stress (Lucas & Baras, 2001; Silva et al., 2015).
It should be noted that upriver from the Pau dos Ferros Reservoir is the Apodi/Mossoro River, which has a well-preserved floodplain area and small tributaries that are free from damming, and provide adequate habitats for the reproduction and development of juveniles from migratory species, such as L. piau (Gubiani et al., 2007). However, studies are required to clearly identify the spawning and nursery areas of this species at the Pau dos Ferros Reservoir. According to the results of the present study, the normative 209/2008 of IBAMA, which prohibits the fishing of L. piau in RN between December 1 and February 28 is endangering the conservation of this species and the maintenance of its stock, because this period does not include the species' reproductive period. Therefore, we recommend that IBAMA should change this normative because our results indicated that the closed season for this species is between February 1 and May 31; however, the closed season of other species with rheophilic habits present at this hydrographic basin should be reviewed. We concluded that L. piau has an established population in the Pau dos Ferros Reservoir despite certain changes in its population characteristics, such as the sex ratio, and suggest that its reproductive period occurs during the rainy season between January and May, thus indicating a seasonal reproductive strategy and confirming our hypothesis.

Understated and elegant, this contemporary 10K white gold necklace is just right. Slip it on with an open-neck blouse, your favorite LBD or even a workday mock turtleneck. No matter how you choose to wear it, it'll never disappoint.
I received this today, it arrived 2 days earlier than the estimated delivery date-a plus! For me the chain is perfect as far as strength & wear-ability. The chain is 1.35 mm so for all my pendants that have bails that are smaller than 2 mm here is the chain. It has plenty of sparkle power! My only regret is that I only bought 1-16" chain...I want to get a second chain but the next size larger if they are still available! I love Michael Anthony Jewelry & highly recommend his line of jewelry!
Love this necklace! As lots of sparkle and is the 2nd one I have purchased... The first one was a longer length and they look great worn together.
I purchased the 18 inch because I was tired of sterling getting tarnished all the time. Wish I had discovered this sooner! This is a beautiful necklace and sparkles like crazy. As soon as I put it on I ordered the 20 inch. It does snag my shoulder length hair a little. Small price to pay for such a great necklace. I haven't taken it off in a week. Looks brand new. Love it ! Thank you!
Beautiful shine! Received compliments . Looks expensive. It is a replacement for a similar chain at a great price. You will not be disappointed.


Pictured are, from the left, March Town CC president Pat Ringham, new club sponsor Nigel Wright and chairman Les Mills.
An open evening is being held at March cricket club to look ahead to this season's games as well as a chance for people to hear about social events lined up for the summer.
Pat Ringham, president, said it would also be a chance to hear about the new club sponsors.
The evening is for existing and new members and is on Friday 4 May at 7.30pm with a free glass of wine and buffet included.
Mr Ringham said: "Reflecting on last season's battle against relegation everyone at March Town Cricket Club is hoping for a more successful campaign in the Whitings League this season which is now less than a month away.
"I am pleased to say that the club will again be fielding four sides on a Saturday and two on a Sunday, in addition to three boys junior teams. "In addition I am pleased to confirm that after last year's successful start All Stars Cricket for boys and girls between the ages of five and eight will return in 2018. Sessions are due to start in May.
"This year's array of county cricket at The Avenue will include an exciting T20 double header against Bedfordshire on Sunday June 17.
"The explosive action is due to blast off at 11am. We are also due to stage a variety of Cambridgeshire county matches.
A recent major development has been the introduction of Hugo Wright as the main club sponsor.
• Monday May 21 Girls only kwik cricket festival.
• Wednesday June 6 mixed kwik cricket festival.
• Sunday June 17 March vs Bedfordshire CCC at 11am and 2pm.
• Wednesday 25, Thursday 26 and Friday 27 July is a three day sports festival.


Judges 5:22 Then the hooves of horses thundered--the mad galloping of his stallions.
Then thundered the horses' hooves-- galloping, galloping go his mighty steeds.
Then the horses' hooves hammered the ground, the galloping, galloping of Sisera's mighty steeds.
"Then loud beat the horses' hoofs with the galloping, galloping of his steeds.
Then the hooves of horses thundered—the mad galloping of his stallions.
"Then the horses' hoofs beat From the dashing, the dashing of his valiant steeds.
The horses' hooves then hammered--the galloping, galloping of his stallions.
Sisera's horses galloped off, their hoofs thundering in retreat.
Then the horses came galloping on, stamping the ground with their hoofs.
The horses' hooves then hammered-- the galloping, galloping of his stallions."
Then loud was the beat of the horses' hooves— from the galloping, galloping war steeds!
The horses' hooves pounded the ground; the stallions galloped madly.
Then the horse hoofs pounded because of the galloping, the galloping of their steeds.
Then the horses' hoofs pounded. The mighty war horses galloped on and on.
Then did the horsehoofs stamp By reason of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
"Then the horses' hoofs beat From the dashing, the dashing of his valiant steeds.
Then were the hoofs of the horses broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.
Then were the horses' hoofs thundering by means of the gallopings, the gallopings of their mighty ones.
Then were the horse hoofs broken by the means of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
Then did the horsehoofs stamp By reason of the prancings, the prancings of their strong ones.
The hoofs of the horses were broken whilst the stoutest of the enemies fled amain, and fell headlong down.
Then did the horse-hoofs clatter with the coursings, The coursings of their steeds.
Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the pransings, the pransings of their strong ones.
Then were the horse's hoofs broken by the means of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
Then broken were the horse-heels, By pransings -- pransings of its mighty ones.
Do you give strength to the horse or adorn his neck with a mane?
The snorting of enemy horses is heard from Dan. At the sound of the neighing of mighty steeds, the whole land quakes. They come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who dwell in it."
at the sound of the galloping hooves of stallions, the rumbling of chariots, and the clatter of their wheels. The fathers will not turn back for their sons; their hands will hang limp.
The men of Beth-togarmah exchanged horses, war horses, and mules for your wares.
(22) By the means of the pransings.--Rather, the stampings. In crossing the Kishon after moderate rains, I had an opportunity of observing by personal experience how easily a horse might be hopelessly disabled in the muddy morass formed by the river. The word is forcibly repeated by the figure known as anadiplosis.
Their mighty ones.--The great lords in their iron chariots, trying to goad their frightened steeds through the flood. There is a scathing taunt in the words. Their "might" was exhibited in valiantly running away. It may, however, mean the strong steeds themselves (comp. Jeremiah 8:15; Jeremiah 51:11). Vandevelde speaks of the Kishon as being the most dangerous river of the land, from its quicksands.
Verse 22. - Their mighty ones. Applied to bulls, Psalm 22:12, etc.; and to horses (A.V., his strong ones), Jeremiah 8:16; his strong horses, Jeremiah 47:3.
5:12-23 Deborah called on her own soul to be in earnest. He that will set the hearts of other men on fire with the love of Christ, must himself burn with love. Praising God is a work we should awake to, and awake ourselves unto. She notices who fought against Israel, who fought for them, and who kept away. Who fought against them. They were obstinate enemies to God's people, therefore the more dangerous. Who fought for them. The several tribes that helped are here spoken of with honour; for though God is above all to be glorified, those who are employed must have their due praise, to encourage others. But the whole creation is at war with those to whom God is an enemy. The river of Kishon fought against their enemies. At most times it was shallow, yet now, probably by the great rain that fell, it was so swelled, and the stream so deep and strong, that those who attempted to pass, were drowned. Deborah's own soul fought against them. When the soul is employed in holy exercises, and heart-work is made of them, through the grace of God, the strength of our spiritual enemies will be trodden down, and will fall before us. She observes who kept away, and did not side with Israel, as might have been expected. Thus many are kept from doing their duty by the fear of trouble, the love of ease, and undue affection to their worldly business and advantage. Narrow, selfish spirits care not what becomes of God's church, so that they can but get, keep, and save money. All seek their own, Php 2:21. A little will serve those for a pretence to stay at home, who have no mind to engage in needful services, because there is difficulty and danger in them. But we cannot keep away from the contest between the Lord and his enemies; and if we do not actively endeavour to promote his cause in this wicked world, we shall fall under the curse against the workers of iniquity. Though He needs no human help, yet he is pleased to accept the services of those who improve their talents to advance his cause. He requires every man to do so.

The exit status to use for the program. The value may be zero, EXIT_STATUS, EXIT_FAILURE or any other value. Note that only the least significant bits (i.e. status and 0377) may be available to a waiting parent process.
The _exit() function causes normal program termination to occur.
The functions registered with atexit() aren't called when you use _exit() to terminate a program. If you want those functions to be called, use exit() instead.
Closes all open file descriptors and directory streams in the calling process.
Notifies the parent process of the calling process if the parent called wait() or waitpid(). The low-order 8 bits of status are made available to the parent via wait() or waitpid().
Saves the exit status if the parent process of the calling process isn't executing a wait() or waitpid() function. If the parent calls wait() or waitpid() later, this status is returned immediately.
Sends a SIGHUP signal to the calling process's children; this can indirectly cause the children to exit if they don't handle SIGHUP. Children of a terminated process are assigned a new parent process.
Sends a SIGCHLD signal to the parent process.
Sends a SIGHUP signal to each process in the foreground process group if the calling process is the controlling process for the controlling terminal of that process group.
Disassociates the controlling terminal from the calling process's session if the process is a controlling process, allowing it to be acquired by a new controlling process.
If the process exiting causes a process group to become orphaned, and if any member of the newly-orphaned process group is stopped, then a SIGHUP signal followed by a SIGCONT signal is sent to each process in the newly-orphaned process group.
The _exit() function doesn't return.

Teenager's Death Sparks Fresh Student Protests in Bangladesh
Bangladeshi students block a road during a protest in Dhaka on March 20, 2019, following the death of a student in a road accident on March 19.
DHAKA, BANGLADESH - Hundreds of students demonstrated in Dhaka Wednesday after a teenager was struck and killed by a speeding bus, just months after a similar accident sparked Bangladesh's biggest anti-government protests in decades.
Students chanting "We want justice!" blocked several major intersections in the bustling capital of 20 million, demanding the government take road safety seriously a day after a teenage pedestrian was mowed down.
"We request all students to return to their classrooms. Let us do our work," said Dhaka Metropolitan Police commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia.
Bangladesh Police Accused of Harassment With Fake Cases
The protests rekindled memories of major street demonstrations last August that lasted a week and erupted after two students were killed in a road accident.
Tens of thousands took to the streets as the marches grew into a broad challenge against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who has been accused of waging a crackdown on dissent under a rule.
Police responded then by firing tear gas and rounding up scores of students and prominent government critics who joined the marches, with some beaten.
The heavy-handed response to a peaceful demonstration attracted international criticism.
Hasina, whose chief rival is behind bars, was elected in December for a third consecutive term in a poll marred by rigging allegations and the mass detention of opposition figures.
Bangladesh's transport sector is widely seen as corrupt, unregulated and dangerous. Thousands of buses and lorries ply the roads without certificates of roadworthiness.
About 12,000 people die each year in accidents on Bangladesh's notorious roads, according to a monitoring group.
Complaints About Safety in Bangladesh Factories Hit High in 2018
Garment factory workers in Bangladesh filed a record number of complaints about safety — 662 — last year, showing that a mechanism set up by European fashion brands to improve working conditions was proving effective, trade unions said Tuesday.The Bangladesh Accord was signed by some 200 global brands and unions in 2013 after the Rana Plaza disaster, when about 1,100 people were killed after a garment factory complex collapsed — sparking outrage over poor…
Police in Bangladesh have filed criminal complaints against tens of thousands of people for violence-related cases in recent years. But the opposition and rights activists say most of the cases, allegedly involving bombing and rioting, were made up.Opposition parties claim most of those targeted were their leaders, workers and supporters, and that the government used the law enforcement agency to crack down on its political rivals.

ZGF has been working with the University of California, Los Angeles on converting a former hospital building to accommodate state-of-the-art research wet laboratories and associated office functions to support the David Geffen School of Medicine's research and education programs. As the largest single building located in the 2,400,000 SF Center for the Health Sciences Complex, the 443,387 SF South Tower is physically connected to buildings on all sides, yet is structurally independent. After the 1994 Northridge earthquake, damage assessment and engineering studies determined that the 12-story Tower required structural improvements to meet current building codes and standards. The ZGF team was also asked to address the building's energy efficiency and life safety infrastructure with the ultimate goal of providing a flexible laboratory environment in a cost-effective, functionally efficient building that is seismically safe and sustainable. The double LEED Platinum® renovation was phased to maintain existing operations of lower level medical laboratories. Phase 1 (Interior Demolition and Hazardous Materials Abatement of Levels 2-10), Phase 2 (Interior Demolition and Abatement of Levels B, A, and 1; seismic renovation; and core + shell improvements), and Phase 3 (Basic Tenant Improvements) are completed. The new space provides a "warm shell" for flexible wet laboratory space with interior finishes, but without specific casework and equipment. Phase 4 involved post-occupancy tenant improvements, customizing the generic "warm shell" space on levels two through seven based on research themes per floor to meet specific research needs of the user groups.

Amazon Makes A Big Move Into The World Of Online Gaming
By Laura Sydell
NPR's Business News starts with a twitch. Amazon is spending nearly $1 billion to buy a video game streaming site called Twitch - news that surprised some analysts because of rumors that Google was the one trying to buy that site. As NPR's Laura Sydell reports, Twitch fits well into Amazon's growing interest in video gaming.
LAURA SYDELL, BYLINE: Twitch is filled with video gamers playing live against each other and with people narrating themselves as they play.
(SOUNDBITE OF INTERACTIVE GAMING)
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: All right, I'll still be on this time.
SYDELL: Many of the players on it have become online celebrities with millions of followers who like to watch the best players - or the most entertaining. Twitch has some 55 million unique visitors a month, and it's the fourth-largest source of Internet traffic. Amazon has been actively working to move into the game market. It's beefed up the number of programmers and its game studios in Southern California and Seattle. Gartner analyst Brian Blau says with Twitch, Amazon could start competing with the prominence of Microsoft and Sony in the game space.
BRIAN BLAU: Access to the Twitch audience in the form that it is today is pretty unique. These are core gamers that are playing on PC or Xbox or PlayStation consoles mainly. And assembling that audience in one place is something that really hasn't been done before.
SYDELL: The uniqueness of Twitch was noted by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. In a statement, Bezos also said that broadcasting and watching game play is a global phenomenon. Amazon has also been trying to get into the content business with TV productions and self-published books. But among young people gaming is growing fast. Laura Sydell, NPR News.

RAYNHAM — Chief James Donovan reports that the Raynham Police Department arrested and charged a man with OUI Liquor following a crash Monday afternoon, April 22.
CHRISTOPHER MARTIN, AGE 35, OF TAUNTON was charged with:
OUI Liquor
Reckless Endangerment of a Child (Two Counts)
Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle
Possession of an Open Container of Alcohol in a Motor Vehicle
Possession With Intent to Distribute a Class D Drug (Marijuana)
Marked Lanes Violation
At approximately 4 p.m. Monday, Raynham Police received a report of a head-on crash in the area of 1 East Britannia St.
Upon arrival, officers came upon a blue Chrysler Town and Country minivan and a red Honda CRV that had collided and were blocking the roadway. Traffic was diverted while first responders were at the scene.
Witnesses told police that the driver of the van, later identified as MARTIN, swerved into the opposite lane of traffic and struck the Honda SUV head-on.
Two children, ages seven and five, who were passengers in the van, were injured and taken by a Raynham Fire Department ambulance to Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island.
The driver of the Honda, an adult woman, was transported by an ambulance to Morton Hospital in Taunton.
The injuries sustained by the children and driver of the Honda are not believed to be life-threatening.
During the subsequent investigation and in speaking with MARTIN, officers determined that MARTIN had been driving under the influence of alcohol and placed him under arrest. MARTIN declined medical care at the scene.
In searching MARTIN'S vehicle, officers located and seized two empty "nip" bottles of vodka, an ounce of marijuana and a digital scale.
MARTIN was taken to the Raynham Police station to be booked. He was expected to be arraigned Tuesday, April 23.
These are allegations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty.

After our merger with Colab Zürich and the rapid growth we experienced over the past year, many have asked us this question. And rightly so.
The original Impact Hub had a clear focus on social entrepreneurship when it started out in 2010. Over the years, we noticed that many people interpreted the term social in a narrow sense and we found ourselves in a niche. We realized that if we were serious about creating impact, we had to open up and position ourselves in a more inclusive way.
The main finding was that many saw us as a kind of biotope where a diverse species of entrepreneurs come together to support and learn from each other. When asked about the core values that held this diverse community together, word clusters around the notions of entrepreneurship/prototyping ("we create"), collaboration/community ("we connect") and sustainability/good ("we care") emerged.
Why radically? We know it's a strong word and may even have some negative connotations. But the point we'd like to make is that the world needs to work together as one if we are to solve the many challenges of our time. And we hope that Impact Hub becomes a place where the first impulse is to connect, share and collaborate. Across organizations, cultures and generations. Hence the notion of a "radically collaborative world".
The world doesn't change one person at a time. It changes as networks of relationships form among people who discover they share a common cause and vision of what's possible. This is good news for those of us intent on changing the world and creating a positive future. Rather than worry about critical mass, our work is to foster critical connections.
Please fill in this short survey to share your thoughts.

At Housing 4 Now, we say: "Where there's a will, there's a way". Meaning, even with a serious disability, you still may be able to start and operate your own personal business. The only thing that may be stopping you, is you. With a little help and a few options, you can make a difference.
People with disabilities often are underrepresented and underutilized in the workplace – they tend to experience higher rates of unemployment than the general population, even though many people with disabilities are able and eager to work. One other option people with disabilities can consider, is to start your own business.
By starting a business, someone with a disability has the chance to generate their own income without the limitations and possibly of discrimination, that are often associated with traditional job employment.
One great thing that is almost always overlooked, is the fact that there are powerful online small business tools, that can be used to help you or someone you may know, to start their business today. Physical disabilities are less important, when you determine your own productivity and profitability as a business owner. As long as you have an energetic/entrepreneur spirit, you can be very successful when it comes to operating your own business with a disability.
There are many resources available for people with disabilities who want to start their own business. Even if you have not been able to land a traditional job or are feeling excluded from the workforce. Start looking into ways to get help and to launch your own successful business.
One of the biggest obstacles for people with disabilities is transportation and mobility barriers. Too many employers lack adequate accommodations for people with disabilities, so as a result, you might be better off trying to start a business out of your own home. Fortunately, there are a variety of ways to do this, and you can use online marketing to connect with customers.
For example, if you love to make crafts or jewelry or personal care products, you could start a home-based business and sell your wares on Etsy, eBay, or Amazon, and promote your business on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. (The founder of SHEA CHIC Boutique, a shea butter personal care products company, got inspired to start her business when she was recovering at home from a severe back injury and was unable to work at a traditional job.) If you have online work skills, you can use those same skills as a home-based consultant, for example, as a freelance writer, graphic designer or web developer. If you love to shop and have a knack for finding great deals on certain products, you could start a home-based Amazon retail business – and with Fulfillment By Amazon, you don't even need to worry about storing or shipping your own inventory.
Most people with disabilities can qualify for special loans and grants. As a entrepreneurs with disabilities, you can check out the SBA Website, to see which programs you might be a good fit for, depending on the state where you live. But be sure to read the fine print – some loan programs are only intended for existing businesses. If you are starting a new business, you might need to find a special loan or grant program that includes start-ups as well as existing companies.
Disability.gov is a federal government website with a variety of resources and advice articles specifically for entrepreneurs with disabilities. This site can help you think through every stage of the process of starting your business – from writing a business plan to designing your business website to finding a business mentor.
Another source of help for small business owners – whether or not they have a disability – is SCORE. SCORE is a great program that connects small business owners with mentors who help them build their business – with hands-on advice and practical help every step of the way. You can access live webinars and online mentoring sessions no matter where you live, and there are local events and workshops in communities throughout the country, depending on which city you live in.
One of the great aspects of living in the 21st century with online technology is that having a disability no longer needs to hold people back from starting a business. Even if you have some mobility issues, health problems or other physical limitations that might have made it hard to be accepted in the traditional workplace, the sky's the limit with what you can do by starting your own business. Lots of organizations and programs are dedicated to helping people with disabilities get the extra help or advice or funding that they might need to get their business launched. It's still never "easy" to start a business, but it's possible today – for more people – than ever before.

Residential Development and Water Quality 1995 to 1999
Effects of Residential Development on the Water Quality of Higgins Lake, Michigan 1995-1999
By Russel J Minnerick
Higgins Lake, a popular recreation area in the north-central Lower Peninsula of Michigan, drains an area of 58 square miles and is composed of two deep basins separated by a narrow channel between Flag Point and Point Detroit. The North and South Basins have a maximum depth of about 141 and 100 feet respectively. Ground-water inflow is the major source of the lake's water supply, with precipitation and inflow from two small tributaries providing the remaining water.
The quality of the lake water near shore has been affected by residential development. The concentration of chloride and turbidity in the lake water near the shore increases with increases in building and road density. Nitrogen concentration in lake water near shore also has increased the most in areas where buildings exceed a density of 0.50 building per acre. Ground water beneath the lake showed higher concentrations of phosphorus, nitrogen, chloride, and boron than the lake-water samples. Escherichia Caliform ( E. coli) bacteria was found in ground water at sites where building density exceeded 0.40 building per acre, indicating that water from septic systems, is leaching to the ground water that flows to the lake. Phosphorus concentration in lake and ground water appears to be more affected by site-specific conditions, such as soil type and distance of sampling sites from individual septic systems, than by building density alone.

You might not even realize these are insects. Scales often look like small warts or outgrowths of plants themselves. That lump is a living scale mother, sucking sap from your plant and laying eggs beneath herself, well hidden from view.
Scale insects can be serious pests for fruit and nut trees, currants, grapes, and raspberries. Citrus trees are especially susceptible to scale attack.
Many scales produce a white, waxy excretion on their bodies, making them difficult to see unless you drop some alcohol on them. This is rather like washing a fluffy dog. Beneath all that flamboyant adornment is a puny little creature, attached closely to the plant surface on which it is feeding. Once settled, many species will not move again during their life, while others are still mobile as adults.
Two types of scale with species diversity. There are so many species of scale insects, it is hard to generalize about them. Most range in size from 1mm to 3mm, and are circular or oval in shape. Their coloring runs the spectrum from brown and black to red or orange; others are spotted or striped. Some look so similar an expert taxonomist can have difficulty telling them apart. But even an amateur can tell the so-called hard or armored scales from the soft ones. Take a penknife and try to pry up the hard outer shell of the insect. If it is an armored scale, the shell will lift off fairly easily, revealing the mother's body, or perhaps just babies or a packed sac of eggs.
Soft scales, on the other hand, have an external skeleton that does not come off unless they are molting. Like a snake shedding a skin that has become too small, the insect splits its cover and eases itself out, then hardens a new coat that was formed underneath the old one.
Soft scales often secrete honeydew, a sugary solution that is a condensed form of the plant sap the scales imbibe. Honeydew will grow a black fungus called sooty mold, which may coat leaves and twigs. In fact, the mold may call attention to the scale population in the first place. Ugly to look at, sooty mold may interfere with photosynthesis. You can use insecticidal soap to wash it off.
Scales have many natural enemies. Luckily, most scale species don't become a serious problem because natural insect predators and parasitoids keep populations in check. Examine scales with a hand lens and look for tiny emergence holes, indicating the scales are under attack by parasitoids. Protect these natural enemies by avoiding the use of broad-spectrum pesticide sprays, especially those labeled as harmful to honeybees. Grow nectar flowers to provide them with an alternative food source.
Small populations of scale can be removed by hand with a scrub brush. But if you are worried about a large population on the twigs or leaves of your fruit trees, here are some suggestions.
Check for ants, then put up a barrier. The sweet honeydew will attract ants because it serves as a food source. In turn, they'll chase away or kill lady beetles and other natural enemies that would normally help control the scales. Wash the ants out of the canopy with insecticidal soap and water.
Then, place a band of sticky tape around the trunk to block the ants from climbing back up. Press it into the bark to get a good fit. You can also spray a 4-in.-wide band of sticky adhesive around the trunk. Both sticky tape and adhesive sprays are available from nurseries and garden catalogs. When the tape loses its effectiveness from dust and debris, renew it with sticky spray or paste available for this purpose. At the end of the season, remove the tape.
Finally, prune off branches that touch fences, walls, other trees, or any objects that could provide the ants with a way to get past the barrier. Also be sure to remove twigs and branches severely infested with scales.
Wash off the crawlers. When young scales, called crawlers, leave their mother and spread out over the surface of the plant seeking a new place to feed, they are very vulnerable. They can often be detected with the naked eye, although they are more easily seen with a 10-power hand lens or a magnifying glass. Depending on the species of scale, there may be one to several generations of crawlers each year. Wash the trunk and limbs with insecticidal soap and water when these little crawlers are present.
Use a refined horticultural oil. If you have tried the above measures, and natural controls are not working well enough, you can spray with a specially refined horticultural oil called supreme or superior horticultural oil. The oil smothers the mature scales, so make sure to coat the insects completely. For small areas covered with scale, you can use a paint brush to apply the oil, but spraying is usually necessary for trees.
San Jose scale, walnut scale, and the lecanium scales are insects that can be effectively sprayed with oils in the winter. Wait for a cold spell, after the leaves have fallen and before bud break in the spring. Make sure the trees are not water stressed. Do not apply oil within 30 days of sulfur or other fungicide treatment.
In general, non-deciduous trees such as citrus can be sprayed during cool fall or spring. Oyster-shell and olive scales are not affected by wintertime spraying and must be treated during the growing season. The newer refined oils can be used during warm weather because they are much less damaging to foliage and bark than the older products. Even so, very hot or very cold periods should be avoided when using oils. As with all garden chemicals, follow the label recommendations and observe all warnings. Improperly applied, horticultural oils can do more harm than good to fruit trees.

There are many stores but it can be noticed that many stores tries to sell almost everything. For an example a garment store in garment store a seller tries to keep a range from kids clothing to adult and even old ages in addition they also keeps both genders categories like for male and female. I am not saying that it is completely wrong practices because some big stores keep everything separate in different shelves and maintain it nicely. Well an idea to keep run store where their customer can find all their required stuff under one roof is sometime good but in my sense not for every range of products it is good for general store like FMCG products and many others.
This is as same as that you have seeking for a taxi and there are hundreds of drivers came up some claims the cheapest fare while some claims that we are expert and on other hand some claims that we have nice vehicle in low fare as compared to other or you can take an example of flights however most of the time you would got confused which to consider most and to opt. isn't? So the point is choices are good but too many choices make confusion which didn't allows to get the right one. If choices are right and selection among the best are been offered than it becomes easier to select one of this is called filters which are now been widely used on web stores. In addition, Specific stores are more preferable rather than a market as this an era of Online Shopping and most of the people recommend more to shop online rather to visit a physical store. Now if you can take an example of one of online store so let's say Amazon or Ebay, yes these are different kind of stores but as these stores are well known and they also offered brand new products too so that's why Mentioning them to give an idea that when we are going to search for any product so the result come up with many choices and with marketing banners which might distract your attention what you were looking for actually and when you have taken out one product than might you found that it has fake or bad reviews or any other problem came up so see how difficult is that. On other hand if you are shopping from Specific store than you might invest less time and get the most optimal solution. This is all about to identify the actual problems behind therefore now stores are being specified for more easiness for the shoppers.
When it comes to Bridal shopping which is already very specific because bridal collections are very limited and while shopping for bridal dress no one wanted to compromises on an even single element. Bridal Stores must have to be specified and all the bridal dresses must be good categorized. Sydney bridal shops has to be maintained be in filled with the best choices same like filter defined above so the shopper can chose the right bridal dress they actually looking for. So far bridal shop or bridal store no matter it is bridal online store it has to be very smooth without any other marketing banner not even other kind of bridal dress because attention and full concentration is important while shopping for bridal dresses.
It is strongly recommended for sellers to keep specific bridal store and for customer to shop only from specific bridal store for best result. For more information, please log on to https://www.abouttimebridal.com/beatrice-collection/.
