Frequently Asked Questions

Retrouvaille is faithful to the Roman Catholic Church’s teaching that marriage is a covenant that exists between one man and one woman. Any reference to marriage or couple made by Retrouvaille is in this context.

It is for couples in troubled marriages including separated or divorced couples who want their marriages to work.  Many couples have experienced challenging issues such as infidelity, addiction recovery, long-term illness, blended family/parenting challenges, long distance relationships, in-law/family issues, financial hardship, or may have grown apart from each other. Many couples are facing the challenges of being newly married, while others may have been married for many years.  A willingness to work on your marriage is the primary requirement. Both husband and wife are required to attend the program.

The Retrouvaille program is a three-phase program.

The first phase is a Weekend Program held in a retreat center or hotel where presenting couples share the breakdown of their own marriages and the tools they have learned to improve communication and restore intimacy.

The second phase consists of a series of 2-hour post-session presentations spread out over 6 to 12 meetings, depending on the community. These post-sessions are critical in assisting struggling couples in healing and rebuilding a new foundation based on love, respect and communication.

The third phase consists of on-going monthly small group support meetings, called CORE (Continuing Our Retrouvaille Experience), to keep your marriage on track.

Retrouvaille is a non-profit ministry and there are no paid positions to organize the program. The costs involved to put on the program include: the rental of a retreat center or hotel rooms, meals, workbooks and materials, rental fees for meeting space, insurance, advertising, telephone expense and the typical administrative costs any ministry would incur. There is no pre-set fee, as costs are site specific and determined by the number of couples attending each program.

To help cover these costs, each community asks for a small non-refundable registration fee up front to reserve your spot and a voluntary donation on the weekend. You may contact a community nearby to determine their registration fee and projected weekend donation amount.

During the weekend, couples are apprised of the full cost of the weekend, and are asked to make a voluntary donation that covers the cost of their portion of weekend accommodations, meals, and materials for the weekend and post sessions. A good estimate of this cost can be provided by the community’s registration team at registration. A receipt is provided, as a portion of the donation may be tax deductible, under the extent of the law.

Privacy is paramount for us. Our attending couple’s names are not shared with any other organizations, parties, or individuals outside the Retrouvaille Community for any reason whatsoever. In fact, only your first name will be used throughout the weekend. Sharing anything more than this will be completely up to you.

No, personal sharing is not required. The program is not a retreat or counseling environment. There are no group dynamics or group discussions on the weekend. The entire experience is between you and your spouse. The focus is not on the details of your marriage, but rather to get you and your spouse communicating again in a meaningful way to help you heal and rediscover the love you once shared in a way that can be sustained.

Most people who divorce their spouse would say “I just don’t love him or her anymore.” They think this means that love has ended. What it really means is that the romantic version of love that attracted the two of you to each other in the beginning has ended.

The romance stage of almost every marriage relationships will end at some point as the relationship grows and transitions. If they are being honest, people in wonderful marriages will admit that they just don’t live in romantic bliss forever, but rather go through hot and cold periods during the course of the relationship.

In strong marriages, the romance stage of the marriage transitions to a more mature, deeper type of love. Some couples are able to do this naturally, but most struggle with disillusionment and misery for far too long before seeking help.

Couples come to the Retrouvaille program specifically because they have been unable to transition to this mature, deeper type of love. A very specific form of communication is taught in the program that will help you make that transition, even if things seem desperate.

This is extremely common for one spouse to be more disillusioned with the marriage than the other. You may be confident that issue will be thoroughly addressed during the weekend.

Please do your best to convince your spouse to understand the value in attending. You have already invested a great deal of time and energy in your marriage, so giving a weekend of your time is a small investment. Try to assure them that there is nothing to lose by attending, only positive results for your marriage. If possible, print out some information from this website, or get them to read it online. You may also want to contact the local registration couple for your community nearby for ideas. The program is designed for both husband and wife to attend. More info on this topic can be found by clicking here.

Only the two of you can save your marriage. Retrouvaille will teach you a set of skills that, if used properly, will help you get on the right track. We ask that you show up with the mindset that you want to work on your relationship. You will need to put forth the effort, and leave the past in the past as you focus on the future.

What we do know is that attending the Retrouvaille is very effective for improving marriages. More than three out of four couples attending the program are still married at the five-year mark and are enjoying a more fulfilling and loving relationship. This includes couples that were divorced, separated, and had extremely challenging circumstances.

It is recommended, but not necessary. Often, couples will travel to attend the soonest available weekend, regardless of where it is located .

If you attend a weekend that is located far from your home and do not have a local community nearby to support you for your Post Sessions, please make an effort on your weekend to get information regarding online Post Sessions.

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide childcare services for the weekends. However, some communities do offer childcare for the Post Sessions and/or CORE (Continuing Our Retrouvaille Experience) monthly small group meetings.

The weekend is a time that requires deep focus between you and your spouse. Much of this time will be in the privacy of your room. Any distractions would completely change the nature of the program for you, so we ask that you do all you can to find someone to watch your children and allow you to completely focus on your relationship during the weekend.

Children can be deeply affected by parents in a struggling marriage and will appreciate the growth and positive changes to your marriage and family life that they will be able to see from your attendance.

No. We do not provide professional counselors in the Retrouvaille Program. If you believe you need to consult a professional for your issues, most communities have a referral list of local counselors. Many marriage counselors suggest Retrouvaille as part of the counseling process.

It is saddening to know that many couples don't know about Retrouvaille. We often say it is the best kept secret for marriage and there may be several reasons for it.

  • Retrouvaille is a grass-roots, non-profit program. As a non-profit orgabnization, we simply do not have large advertising budgets the way for-profit companies do. Most people that attend Retrouvaille have heard about it from a referral or online search.
  • Many people do not seek out Retrouvaille until their marriage is in serious trouble. So when they initially have problems, many seek out traditional marriage counselors, or they try to work out their own problems before they seek out the Retrouvaille Program.
  • People tend to talk about their successes, not their failures. Most of us do not like to discuss marital problems. Some people perceive marriage-help programs as a sign of failure. Therefore, no matter what program they participate in, it’s not something they want to talk about. In fact, it is very common that couples that attend Retrouvaille end up learning of other friends and family that have done the same, but never said anything.

Please dress comfortably and casually. We want you to feel comfortable so you can focus on saving your marriage. However, keep in mind that some venues may get chilly when the air conditioning is on, so you may want to bring a sweater, pullover, or light jacket. That said, we do ask that couples refrain from wearing any clothing that may be a distraction to other couples. This includes provocative clothing, or any clothing that promotes specific causes or political beliefs.

First, you will need to Register for a weekend program. Once you complete the registration process, you will be contacted by the Registration Couple from the community where you will be attending the weekend. They will give you a short briefing about the expectations, and answer any questions you may have about the program.

Each community has a dedicated Registration Couple that handles all questions related the Retrouvaille Program in their community. You simply select your most nearby community or the community that has the soonest upcoming weekend near you. You will see a contact phone number for the community there. They will be able to assist you with all of the details about the program, registration information, directions, and any special dietary needs you may have.

If you can read an English newspaper or watch a news show on TV, and understand most of it, you should be fine. Do not worry about your speaking ability; if your spouse can understand what you are saying, you will be fine. If not, search the website, and you will find that some communities offer programs in Spanish and other languages, depending on the area.

There is a Mass or devotional service offered Saturday morning and a closing Mass or devotional service Sunday afternoon. While all attending the weekend, all Couples are invited to participate in these religious services, though attendance is optional.

As Retrouvaille is Catholic in origin, in most communities, the clergy member is a priest and Mass is offered. However, on CMD (Christian Multi Denominational) weekends, a Christian minister and spouse take the place of the priest on the presenting team, and a devotional service is offered in place of Mass.

Whatever your personal faith, you are welcomed and embraced and attendance is voluntary, of course.

This is not a problem at all. The services are voluntary, and do not affect the flow of the program at all. It is very common for some couples not to attend the services. Some couples do find they are open to the spiritual dimension of the program once they arrive, and others do not.

You will discover during the weekend that there is nothing you cannot come back from, as long as both husband and wife are willing to put in the effort. You may hear stories from presenting couples that are far worse than your own, and yet they reconciled. These couples will help you understand that, in fact, it will never be the same. In fact, it can be better than it ever has been! There are Four Stages of Marriage: Romance, Disillusionment, Misery and Awakening. Many couples that have attended the Retrouvaille program actually grow into a new, far better place. To learn about the four stages of marriage, click here.

The Retrouvaille program can work for you if both of you give it your all and truly take what you learn to heart. However, the reality is that this is not always the case. Sometimes one spouse simply cannot get past their own pain for a myriad of reasons. Even in those cases where it does not work out, often both spouses come out of the program better people with new tools and understanding to carry forward into the rest of their lives, especially the level of communication required if children are involved. The Retrouvaille Program is a program of self-discovery and the tools learned on the weekend can apply to many areas of your life.

This is a very common question. Marriage Encounter is a wonderful program, but it is designed to make good marriages better. If you did a Marriage Encounter weekend, you will find some similarities in Retrouvaille. Retrouvaille was founded by Marriage Encounter couples that saw that something more was needed for hurting couples. Retrouvaille takes some of the Marriage Encounter concepts, and builds on them extensively with a special focus on moving a marriage from misery to rediscovering the love you have for each other. Furthermore, Marriage Encounter ends at the weekend, while Retrouvaille offers all of the Post Sessions that focus heavily on managing conflict, building trust, achieving forgiveness, and so much more.

Because you have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. A happy and strong marriage builds vibrant and successful families. It is also much more affordable than court costs, divorce attorneys, alimony, child support, and broken lives.

Yes! Every Retrouvaille community relies on volunteers wanting to share of themselves to help couples that are struggling. We have all walked a similar path and have something to give back.

Please contact your local nearby community and let them know you are here willing to give of your time and energy to help! They are sure to extend a warm welcome to attend their monthly CORE (Continuing Our Retrouvaille Experience) support meetings.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are considered to be a promising technology for clean and efficient power generation in the twenty-first century. In this study, high performance of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and proton conductivity of poly(1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole) (PVTri) were combined in a graft copolymer, PVDF-g-PVTri, by the polymerization of 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole on a PVDF based matrix under UV light in one step. The polymers were doped with triflic acid (TA) at different stoichiometric ratios with respect to triazole units and the anhydrous polymer electrolyte membranes were prepared. All samples were characterized by FTIR and 1H-NMR spectroscopies. Their thermal properties were examined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). TGA demonstrated that the PVDF-g-PVTri and PVDF-g-PVTri-(TA)x membranes were thermally stable up to 390°C and 330°C, respectively. NMR and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) results demonstrated that PVDF-g-PVTri was successfully synthesized with a degree of grafting of 21%. PVDF-g-PVTri-(TA)3 showed a maximum proton conductivity of  Scm−1 at 150°C and anhydrous conditions. CV study illustrated that electrochemical stability domain for PVDF-g-PVTri-(TA)3 extended over 4.0 V.

Figure 1.-- A German reader tells us that she has found a very helpful book about children's fashions. Rather than drawings, the author has used recreations or vintge clothes to illustrate and compare many popular styles. The publishing house of this book is well respected in Germany and the text is very well researched. Here we have a recreation of a 16th century Tudor prince.

HBC Sources

Our general practice is to source each HBC page as appropriate. This the sources are included at the bottom of each page. Many of these sources are historial works or other publications including newspapers and magazines. Of course a photograph or painting is our basic source of information on many HBC pages. It occured to us that it might be useful to build a bibliography of works which have specifically addressed children's clothing or at least have a valuable section on children's clothes. The books on fashion are virtually countless. There is a much more limited number of works which have addressed children's fashions. Of course before the late 18th century, there were no specifically children's clothings. Thus general fashion books provide an inkling as to what children wore. Even so there were conventins for children such as younger boys wearing dresses. Usually fashion books ignore children. Thus a bibliography of books which do address the toopic of children and fashion may prove helpful to our readers.

Apertures Press School Books

Apertures Press has published a series of school books. The books are about schools and education in general, but include a great deal of information about school uniform and are illustrated with never before published photographs. There are both published books and eBooks currently available and more are planned.

Child Life in Colonial Days

An excellent book with information about children's clothing is Alice Morse Earle's Child Life in Colonial Days. The book is a sociological study of colonial childhood, but includes some very useful information about fashion. The book describes clothing and fashion in the original 13 English colonies in North America. There is a 29-page chapter about "Children's Dress." The book was first published in 1899 but is still available in a reprint edition.

Clothes and the Child

Anne Buck's Clothes and the Child: A Handbook of Children's Dress in England 1500-1900 is the best published work we know of on children's fashions. Whule the book is only about English fashion, it is much more important than a study for one country. Fashion was a luxury for the well to do. Thus for several cebnturies the rich and aristocratic throughout Europe dressed similarly. Also in our more modern era when destinctive children's fashions developed, England was a fashion leader--espdecially for boys. Buck also discussed the complete watdrobe and not just the outer clothing as HBC tends to do with our emphasis on paintings and photographs. Buck's book is clearly wrutten and well illustrated. It is a very important contribution to this subject. Unfortunateltly Buck does not cover the 20th century, but what she does cover is very well done.

Clothing Catalogs

Clothing catalogs are a wonderful source of information on period clothing. Some caution has to be used a specific stores commonly targeted ceratain market sectors. Thus they are not aperfect reflection of contemporary fashions. They are, however, a very important source. This is especially the case when the catalogs provide ad copy describing the styling, colors, material, and other factors. A similar source is retail advertising, but these items are scattered in a wide range of newspapers and magazines. For HBC's purposes we have commbined clothing catalogs and advertisements together to get a better idea of chronological trends. HBC has used the catalogs of many different stores and compasnies around the world. Obtaining compies of these catalogs is oftern difficult. Some researches have compiled books sampling these catalogs which are more available to readers. Of course ther sampling involves a selection process which may affect the usefulness of these volumes.

A German reader tells us that she has found. Costume, to be a very helpful resource on fashion. It is not specifically about children's clothes, but has some useful information on the subject. The book was written by L. Rowland-Warne. The photography was by Liz McAulay. A. The clothing book is from a series, the "Eyewitness Books" published byby Dorling kindersley (London). These are very useful introductions to various topics, in this case clothing and fashion. The book was published in 1992. The foreign publishers include: and Gallimard (Paris) and Hildesheim (Gerstenberg). The editor offers the reader the opportunity to "Discocer the history and meaning of clothing--from loincloths to buckskins to the ever-changing fashions of today." The book is also available in English and French and perhaps other languages. Costume is a fascinating look at the history of fashion and clothing, illustrated with informative color photographs including accessories and designs. The book begins with the Romans and runs through the Renaissance to the modern age. The author includes all kinds of interesting fashion accessories such as hairpins, fans, and gloves. Rather than drawings, the author has used recreations or vintage clothes and fashion accessories to illustrate and compare many popular styles. Our German reader writes, "The publishing house of this book is well respected in Germany and the text is very well researched. Lots of the English Dorling Kindersley titles are translated to German. They are very good." A French reader tells us, "I have found this nook very useful as well. I bought both the French and English editions which has helped to understand many technical terms."

Gatorade, the sports drink that started an industry, was invented at the UF College of Medicine by a team of researchers led by Dr. Robert Cade. Gatorade was first field tested in a football scrimmage near this site and was first used in an October 1965 Gator victory. The invention was prompted by concern about the effects of heat on the human body. After collecting fluid samples from UF football players, Cade and his colleagues realized the players' electrolytes were out of balance and their blood sugar and total blood volume was low. They developed a drink containing salts and sugars that quickly replaced lost nutrients and improved performance. The product soon attracted international attention and is used by athletes worldwide.

Stalemate at Totopotomoy Creek

— Lee vs. Grant - The 1864 Campaign —

Following the cavalry fight at Enon Church on May 28, 1864, Lee moved to block Grant's advance toward Richmond. He stationed his army along a ridge protected by swampy Totopotomoy Creek. When Union infantry arrived they found Lee's soldiers solidly dug in. Gen. Winfield Hancock's Second Corps scouted the position on May 29, then attacked on May 30 and captured a small section of Southern trenches.

Frustrated in his attempts to break Confederate lines at the Totopotomoy, Grant looked for another way to lure Lee into the open. Once again, he tried to maneuver his army between Lee and Richmond. The Union commander ordered a concentration at Cold Harbor.

To screen the Federal movement, Grant launched an assault on June 1 near here that produced a lively artillery duel. Nearby Polegreen Church suffered the misfortune of resting between the lines. Shells fired by the Richmond Howitzers at Union sharpshooters in the church hit the building causing it to catch fire and burn to the ground.

Good and Evil : Quaker Perspectives, Hardback Book

Good and Evil : Quaker Perspectives Hardback

Edited by Dr. Pink Dandelion

In this multi-disciplinary collection we ask the question, 'What did, and do, Quakers think about good and evil?' There are no simple or straightforwardly uniform answers to this, but in this collection, we draw together contributions that for the first time look at historical and contemporary Quakerdom's approach to the ethical and theological problem of evil and good. Within Quakerism can be found Liberal, Conservative, and Evangelical forms.

This book uncovers the complex development of metaethical thought by a religious group that has evolved with an unusual degree of diversity.

In doing so, it also points beyond the boundaries of the Religious Society of Friends to engage with the spectrum of thinking in the wider religious world.

Drain Unclog Services

Drain Toronto ServicesHoerner Heating & Plumbing Services Inc. can provide drain unclog services for blocked pipe drains i.e. drain snaking, full drain system inspection, plumbing camera inspections, and tree root removal.

We're not just Toronto drain experts, additionally service for backed-up sewers is provided.

Drain Unclog

If you have drain problems in your home, the problem may be located inside the house or outside the house. If you are experiencing a main drain back-up, quite often the drain has tree root infiltration.  It can be dug up and replaced or sometimes if the pipe isn't too damaged, we can excavate the drain from inside the house and install a fiberglass liner to restore the existing pipe. This can avoid possible excavation outside of your home and having to redo some of the interlocking stone or damaging a garden outside. We also have a camera that can go down the drain and locate problems and by locating them with the proper instrumentation you can avoid unnecessary excavation.

Should we ever have to replace drains inside your home or outside you home in Toronto we take the time to protect the area with drop sheets and tarps to avoid unnecessary cleanup. And we will fill in the hole, repair the concrete and have your home back in operation as quickly as possible.

As part of our environmental efforts to "go green" and to protect your home with "environmentally friendly" products and services, we offer the following environmental and health smart product:  Bio Clean

Bio-Clean is non-poisonous drain product. It clears clogged drains naturally by eating away at the organic material clogging the drain. It creates no heat, no fumes, no boiling. It does not attack live tissue or inorganic materials, only organic wastes like grease, hair, food particles, paper, cotton & sewage. This makes BIO-CLEAN safe for people, plumbing and the environment.

BIO-CLEAN changes the waste particles into water, carbon dioxide and mineral ash which run harmlessly out of your waste system. These elements are then available for plant life.

Within an hour after pouring the bacteria into the drain, the bacteria begin to eat their way into the waste that has accumulated on the sides and top of the drain pipe. This is their natural food. They digest the waste and spread throughout your system, cleaning it completely.

  • Residential and commercial applications
  • All drain and sewer pipes, including:
  • Kitchen Sinks
  • Lavatories
  • Bath tubs
  • Showers
  • Floor drains
  • Laundry drains
  • Septic tanks and drain fields
  • Garbage disposal odors
  • Sewage ejector sumps
  • Outdoor outhouses and cesspools
  • R.V. & boat holding tanks
  • Lift Stations
  • Cat Litter Boxes

It’s common for people to put-off having their drains cleaned until there is an obvious problem, we strongly advise against this practice as by the time the drain is showing symptoms of being clogged there may already be a major issue with the system. It is advised to have your drains cleaned and inspected at least every one to two years.

  • Beautiful flat in ideal location
    5 of 5

    This is a beautiful, comfortable and stylish one-bed apartment on the riverside and right next to the historic heart of Bergerac, with many restaurants and shops literally on your doorstep. Clare was there to meet us and check-in and out was easy. It was too cold in December to use the terrace but I can imagine what a benefit this would be in better weather. We were able to park easily given it was the off-season; it could be harder in summer. There were no TV channels but excellent Internet. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

    Stayed: Dec 2018
  • Charming, comfortable and warm for our November stay.
    5 of 5

    The house is charming, well renovated and warm, we were there in November. It is tucked in a quiet village street which is pedestrianised but there is parking a few metres away. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the village is beautiful, it has all daily needs, three boulangeries ensure a ready supply of bread and pattisserie also a butcher an organic store and small supermarket. Galleries, brocantes and gift/clothes shops make it pleasant to wander round but it really comes into its own on Sunday morning when a wonderful market hits town, not to be missed! A great stay in a lovely house, many thanks Caroline.

  • Very nice place clean and well set out - comfortable with all facilities necessary.
    5 of 5

    Loved the closeness to the town, a pleasure to walk to the butcher, baker or to the market. We were worried about being so close to the road but it wasn't a problem when we were there. Such a lovely town and great to meander across the causeway or a short drive to the many wonderful beaches with hardly anyone on them, usually a few dog walkers. A perfect spot to explore north or south along this coastline and visit the many restaurants serving the great local meats, cheeses, fish and wines etc. The people are very friendly and accepting of our poor french, we would recommend this place and area very highly.

    Stayed: Sep 2018
  • An extremely welcoming stay just outside Portbail
    5 of 5

    Janette was an incredible host to us all. We had been cycling for four days (2 adults and 4 kids) and we're all feeling a bit weary. Although only a couple of km from Portbail Janette kindly dropped us in to the small town for supper and picked us up at the end of the evening. We woke to find an amazing breakfast spread including fresh croissants, pain au chocolate fresh fruit etc....which was a welcome break from our diet which had been ham, Camembert and baguette for the previous 3 days. Janette was very helpful at recommending routes out of Portbail back to Cherbourg. We would highly recommend staying here with Janette.

CRICKET: Tate’s moment of magic seals victory for Horncastle

Horncastle CC's Sunday side.
Horncastle CC's Sunday side.

Lincoln & District Sunday League

Division Three

Horncastle 197-8

Hykeham 178

Horncastle entertained Hykeham on a sunny day at Coronation Walk.

Home captain Rob Bee won the toss and without hesitation elected to bat first on a good looking pitch.

Hykeham’s opening attack put Horncastle’s openers under real pressure early on with some good bowling. They made the breakthrough when Lewis Lovegrove was caught for six.

Ben Fidling joined Bee at the crease and made an instant impact, racing to 10 with a four and a huge six. He was dismissed not long after, playing one shot too many, caught for 14. Bee and Gareth Jones played some lovely shots and both made it into the 30s before being bowled in similar fashion.

Nathan Whiting went in and played an excellent innings to see Horncastle past 100, and later over the 150 mark. Whiting played shots all around the wicket and ended 51no. Some late hitting from Jack Tate (17) and Ash Bullivant (11no) helped Horncastle to 197-8 from their 40 overs.

Horncastle needed an early breakthrough and that is exactly what they got through the bowling of Bullivant. Hykeham the steadied themselves well and put on over 50 for the second wicket. The partnership was broken with the score on 65, when Rich Hickling dismissed Irving for a well made 25.

Jones and Hickling made further breakthroughs to leave Hykeham on 91-4 at drinks, with the game finely in the balance.

Hykeham’s Ashton put the bowlers under real pressure with some fine shots including one massive straight six. He was the key to the outcome of the game and both sides knew this.

Bee and Tate were introduced into the attack and both took key wickets to push Horncastle closer to victory.

It was Tate who produced the moment of magic when he made Ashton play his shot on the up. With was Fidling at long-on to take a great catch, the game was Horncastle’s for the taking.

Three wickets from Bee and one more from Tate killed off the Hykeham innings, all out for 178, giving Horncastle victory by 19 runs.

Cricketers swap the runs for rides

The latest local sports news.
The latest local sports news.

Members of Wodhall Spa Cricket Club will be swapping runs for rides as they prepare to cycle the 10,000-plus mile distance between two of their favourite grounds.

They are aiming to raise £5,000 to be split between the International Bomber Command Centre and the cricket club.

The virtual ride will see players, officials and supporters cycling a total 10,191 miles, the distance between Jubilee Park and The Gabba in Brisbane, Australia.

And, of course, the ride is planned to be completed in time for the start of the Ashes, so everyone will be able to cheer on England as they take on the Aussies in the first test at the actual Gabba.

Five watt exercise bikes will be set up in the club’s pavilion with cyclists pledging a set amount of miles to complete.

The location will be manned for 12 hours per day, with hours being upped if necessary in order to ensure arrival for that first memorable ball of an Ashes series.

Club captain and organiser Jack Luffman said: “We are always on the lookout for original and fun ways to raise funds to continue our club’s development and also support local community charities and organisations.

“There’s no doubt it is a tough ask but one we are sure can fulfil, have lots of fun along the way and raise as much money as possible.

“This time we wanted to do something that stands out, that’s a bit outrageous.

“So I came up with this idea and the committee along with members and friends of the club have jumped on board.

“With the village’s close ties with the RAF and all its history we felt that the International Bomber Command Centre would be an appropriate charity to raise funds and help them to continue to commemorate Bomber Command and all of those men and women who fought and gave their lives so that we can enjoy the freedom we do today.”

The fundraiser will begin at 11am on Saturday and conclude at 11pm on Wednesday, November 22.

Photographer Online ToolsThe Photographer’s Online Toolkit

Whether you’re launching a brand-new photography business or adding an online presence to reach more clients, there are a few tools you’ll need to bring your website and digital marketing into focus.

The process of registering a domain name and setting up your website isn’t complicated or time-consuming, but just as professional knowledge helps you capture better images than if you just aim and shoot, these tips can help you get the most from your online portfolio, email list, and social media. Let’s zoom in on what you need to grow your business.

Your website needs a host that loads your images fast

Because images take longer to load than text—and because the average mobile user will wait no more than 10 seconds for a page to load before they leave—you must have web hosting that loads your pages as fast as possible. You’ll also want plenty of storage space for site backups, to accommodate your image files. HostGator’s WordPress cloud hosting plans offer both speed and storage space.

Recommended WordPress Hosting

You need a URL that’s on brand

Whether you use your own name or a company name for your business, your first step in choosing a URL should be to see if the domain name you want is available.

If it is—especially with the .com top-level domain (TLD)—snap it up. If .com isn’t available, consider a newer top-level domain specific to your business—for example, Learn more about choosing a good domain name, and once you’ve settled on the right one, register it along with similar names and different TLDs and redirect them to your site.

You need a professional email address

Once you have a web host and a registered domain name, you can create work email addresses for yourself and any employees using that domain name. Branded email addresses look more professional than a third-party email address and inspire confidence that you take your work seriously. Having a professional email address for yourself can also help you sort out your personal and professional emails, and it makes it easier to manage your business email list (more on that below).

Your site needs a design theme specifically for photographers

When photos are your business, you need a site design that displays your portfolio in a way that’s visually appealing, uncluttered, easy to navigate on desktop and mobile devices.

There are so many free WordPress portfolio themes that it can be hard to settle on one. Some of the most popular include Magnus, Spacious, Splendid Portfolio, and Draft. Take your time exploring, and remember that changing themes later on is relatively easy to do.

WordPress portfolio themes for photographers

If you host your site on WordPress, be sure to check out our post on the top plugins for photographers.

Your photography site needs content and tags for SEO

Most photographers serve a local market and have a specialty or two, like portraits, wedding photos, or product photography.

Make sure your site copy spells out your location and services along with commonly searched keywords for what you do, like “Boston wedding photographer” or “Scottsdale real estate photographer.” Page tags aren’t visible to your site visitors, but don’t overlook them—include the keywords you want to rank for so that search engines can find your site. This search engine optimization (SEO) is how you’ll get found by prospects most of the time.

If you update your site regularly, it will tend to rank better in search results, and one easy way to update your content is by keeping a blog on your site. If you’d rather shoot than write, that’s OK—photo blogs update your content and show off your work. Just remember to include at least a little descriptive text and keyword tags for each image you post.

Your photography website needs booking, proofing, and order tools

Use your site to make things easy for your clients. Pet photographer Erin Lynch of Seattle has an online booking page that lets clients pick the type of shoot they want, with prices clearly listed and links to a calendar with her available dates and times.

Existing clients should have private access to proofs from their shoots so they can approve and order the photos they want in digital and print formats. Jireh Photography of Detroit, which we’ve featured on the blog before, has an online client proofing section that allows wedding and event clients to select the shots they love at their convenience. Online proofing also saves you the time, hassle, and expense of mailing proofs to clients or meeting to review them in person.

Your site needs an email list

Make it easy for prospective and current customers to find out about your specials and new services by keeping an email list. For example, fitness photographer Audra Oden of Houston has an email opt-in form on her homepage so clients can find out about “special rates, projects, and events.”

Email signup form for photography

You can use an email marketing tool like Constant Contact to manage your list and your marketing campaigns.

Your photography website needs at least one social media account

The goal of your social media account(s) is to drive potential clients to your website and to contact you for a shoot. You don’t need to present your work on every social media platform, just the ones where your audience spends its time. That might be Pinterest, Instagram, YouPic, Flickr, or something else, where you show your favorite new shots, trade tips, and more.

As your photography business grows

As your business grows, collect your media mentions into a press section and add a testimonial section with photos, embedded reviews from Yelp and other sites, and thank-yous from satisfied clients. These elements add social proof that can win you even more new clients. Keep updating your portfolio and follow our blog for tips on properly pricing your services, tracking your time, and more tips for business success.

How can I get the most out of my youth hockey player?

by Wade Paris April 27, 2016

Getting the most out of our youth hockey players.

 For parents it can be a scary thing when your son or daughter shows interest in playing hockey. For us veterans we know the time and money involved in the sport. We also understand that it can be a priceless opportunity for our kids to not only develop their athletic skills but grow lasting friendships and become better, more rounded individuals.

 The key to a great youth player is to constantly push them. Point out what they did wrong and make sure they expect that your going to discuss  it on the way home in the car from the rink after every skate. WRONG

 The most important aspect of youth hockey is to make sure it is fun for the players. We need to remember as parents putting in the time and money, that it is about our son or daughter getting the best experience out of it. We have all seen or heard the vocal parent at the rink that thinks that their 7 or 8 year old is heading towards the pro's. You just have the feeling when you look at or listen to the player that the only reason they are there is because their parents are making them, or pushing them beyond their desire. It's sad to see because these are the kids that drop out of sports all together because they never develop a love for the game. If we as parents have to push our kids to go to the rink for practices and or games, it may not be an issue with our kids. We may need to take a look at ourselves and see if we may be the problem. Do we regularly criticize their play or effort right after a practice or game? Or do we leave that up to the coaches? Do we point out what they are improving on and look for the positive?

 Positive reinforcement works a lot better than negative. It is said the magic number is 5 positives to 1 negative. We all as human beings respond better, try harder and enjoy what we're doing more when recognized for our effort. Hockey is one of the toughest sports there is to learn and become proficient at. There are a lot of skills that need to be developed from skating, stick handling, passing, shooting, reading plays, teamwork, etc. These all take time and positive support from us parents if we want our kids to developed a true love for the game.

  Remember, players don't all develop skills and abilities at the same time. There are probably kids on the team that seem light years ahead of your player in ability and skills. Don't worry, don't compare them and make your kid miserable because he doesn't stack up. You see it all the time and it makes you smile as a coach or parent when the moment comes when something new  click with a player that was  behind the pack. All of the sudden by the end of the season you have a new star player.

 Be patient, be supportive, be encouraging and most importantly, make the hockey experience a fun one that will grow into a lifelong passion.

Despite a heated exchange of letters between the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency asking for the delay of the newly announced arbitration rule, the rule will carry on as planned and be published in the Federal Register this week.

The issue dates back to earlier this month when the CFPB revealed its new rule to ban companies from using mandatory arbitration clauses, allowing consumers to participate in class action lawsuits.

For added context, the new rule mainly pertains to consumer financial products like credit cards and bank accounts that have arbitration clauses in their contracts that prevent consumers from joining together to sue their bank or financial company for wrongdoing. Mortgages, however, are not included since Congress already prohibits arbitration agreements in the residential mortgage market.

Regardless of the exchanges written out below, the rule will be published in the Federal Register on Wednesday. The rule will be effective date 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register and applies to contracts entered into more than 180 days after that.

But, if it were up to the Acting Comptroller Of The Currency Keith Noreika, the rule wouldn’t be published just yet.

Noreika quickly responded to the controversial rule in a letter to CFPB Director Cordray requesting the CFPB share with Office of the Comptroller of the Currency data used to develop and support its proposed final rule banning class-action waivers in arbitration agreements.

Noreika asked that the two “agencies work together to resolve potential safety and soundness concerns with the proposal.”

He also assured the CFPB that he directed OCC staff to work expeditiously with CFPB staff to examine the data once they receive it and determine if their concerns are allayed by the data or to work with CFPB staff to resolve any safety and soundness concerns that persist.

The CFPB didn’t see eye-to-eye with the OCC on the issues, with Cordray noting in his response letter that he was surprised to receive the letter from Noreika.

“As you may be aware, the issuance of the rule marked the conclusion of a multi-year process that included the bureau’s completion in March of an arbitration study that was required by law. The rulemaking process itself spanned more than two years.”

“At no time during the process did anyone from the OCC express any suggestion that the rule that was under development would threaten the safety and soundness of the banking system. Nor did you express any concerns to me when we have met or spoken.”

Ultimately, Cordray wrote that Noreika’s request came too late. “Until I received your letter this week, the OCC has not expressed any interest in the data relating to that rule.”

Noreika, a week letter, sent another letter to Cordray asking for the data again. But this time, he added in a request to delay the publication of the Final Rule in the Federal Register “until his staff has had full and fair opportunity to analyze the CFPB data.”

Once again, and only a couple days before the Federal Register is slated to publish the rule, Cordray denied the request in a letter to the OCC, questioning “why it would be appropriate to distort the Financial Stability Oversight Council process to review a claim that is so plainly frivolous, when congressional and judicial forums are available to pursue such matters.”

“I continue to fail to see any plausible basis for your claim that the arbitration rule could somehow affect the safety and soundness of the banking system,” said Cordray.

And with Cordray’s response, the door shut on the possibility of the rule not making it into the Federal Register. But this doesn’t mean the battle over the arbitration rule is over. A separate option to get rid of the rule is also floating around.

Senator Tom Cotton, R-Ark., recently said he started the process of rescinding this rule using the Congressional Review Act. “The last thing Americans need is more anti-business regulation that will prompt frivolous lawsuits while hurting consumers," he said.

And he isn’t the only Republican against the rule. Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, said, “This bureaucratic rule will harm American consumers but thrill class action trial attorneys.”

Hensarling backed Noreika in his comments, saying, “In releasing this rule today, Director Cordray ignored a prior request by the acting Comptroller of the Currency that he work with the OCC to resolve its potential safety and soundness concerns.”

Golchi – the world’s first customizable and multi-functional bottle

Life is such a rush sometimes that it’s useful to have gadgets and products that are multi-purpose. Phones are now music and movie players for entertainment on the go and there are even sandals that double up as bottle openers (don’t believe us? check it out here). The next in line of these flexible products is the Golchi- the world’s first customizable and multi-functional.

The innovative bottle has the ability to carry two liquids at a time, keeping one cold and one hot using vacuum insulation technology. Better still, the Golchi comes equipped with a a collapsible tea infuser and a utlity section that can carry anything from gym protein supplemetns to a snack. The product uses a rubber lining to make it leak proof and a changeable flow mechanism that allows the drinker to both slurp hot drinks and guzzle cold beverages. Tempertaure gagues on the side aslo help you remember what sort of drink your carrying so there’s never an instance when you mistakenly down a drink that’s a tad too hot! On average, drinks are kept hot for 12 hours or cold for 24 hours and it the golchi is equally for use in a heavy gym session or a light stroll in the park.

How the Golchi bottle works How the Golchi bottle works How the Golchi bottle works

How does the Golchi bottle work? We chat to Co-Founder Ankita Garg.

Golchi is a vacuum insulated bottle that gives the convenience to carry two liquids at any temperature simultaneously. It has a top and bottom compartment that can be used to carry your liquids and the middle section acts as a storage for any powder or snack. We have designed a first of its kind “3-in-1” size adjustable lid that helps the user determine the size of the drinking spout for the kind of drink they want to consume. We have given extra thought on providing temperature markers to help users remember what drink they are carrying in a particular compartment.

Golchi also has a modular design which gives the flexibility to the user to re-configure the bottle in 4 different configurations. If you require 2 liquids then carry your Golchi in the “Double Decker” configuration. If you need 1 liquid in a larger volume then re-arrange the compartments to make “Jumbo” configuration. Don’t want to carry the middle section for any solids, just configure Golchi as any other “Traditional” bottle. Want to carry small portions or share your Golchi, split it into 2 and make “Golchi Mini”.

Golchi is here to add convenience to your life and eliminate multiple bottles.

Getting into a fender bender, dealing with a power outage or caring for a sick child are all valid reasons for tardiness or absenteeism, but how do you deal with employees who have chronic attendance issues?

As a small-business owner, you have more important things to do than deal with employee attendance and punctuality. Yet, if you don’t stay on top of these issues, they can spiral out of control and undermine your business.

The Importance of Attendance Monitoring and Management

Excessive absenteeism can directly affect your bottom line, adding up to thousands of dollars every year. You can prevent these damaging costs and focus on the growth of your business by implementing attendance policies, as well as by taking a proactive approach toward attendance issues that arise.

According to a Shiftwork Practices study by Circadian, unscheduled absenteeism costs $3,600 a year for each hourly worker. Do the math: If you employ 10 hourly workers, that’s $36,000 a year erased from your bottom line!

When handled correctly, conversations about attendance don’t have to be confrontational or unpleasant. In fact, they can improve productivity and morale, enhance your team’s output and decrease your company’s legal risk. By giving your employees a chance to correct attendance problems and ultimately succeed, you’re doing the right thing for your business.

Addressing Excessive Absenteeism or Tardiness

Careful attendance tracking can help you document excused and unexcused absences, as well as spot negative patterns early. Should a dispute occur, up-to-date attendance records also serve as critical evidence. With accurate records of the dates missed, reasons for each absence and notes about your efforts to correct the problem, you have a firmer base to stand on regarding any disciplinary action.

How you address attendance issues is as important as how you identify them. If you have a solid, respectful relationship with your staff, your employees will usually respond favorably. For this reason, start with positive reinforcement and a verbal warning, rather than going straight to disciplinary action.

The purpose of a verbal counseling session is to let an employee know you’re concerned, how you expect the problem to be resolved and what the consequences are if the problem continues. Always give the employee a chance to respond and explain his or her situation. An individual may be undergoing certain medical treatments, taking care of an elderly parent or participating in military training, which are all legally protected absences. Or perhaps the employee is dealing with a difficult personal situation and is struggling with how to handle it.

Make sure you have an attendance policy in your employee handbook. Require all employees to read and acknowledge the policy.

If, as a result of the meeting, you notice a marked improvement, praise the employee and let him or her know you appreciate the effort. However, if you’ve tried everything and the employee continues to abuse the time-off rules, consider preparing a written warning. A formal write-up should include:

  • Specific facts (not opinions) about the situation
  • The rule or policy violated
  • Objectives and expectations for improvement
  • Disciplinary action being taken
  • Consequences for not correcting the problem
  • Signatures and dates

A written warning that doesn’t result in any positive change over a certain period (typically a month or two) may be followed by a suspension and, finally, termination.

Proper Discipline Can Make a Difference

The key to effective employee discipline is consistency and careful documentation. Having a well-defined process to identify and address attendance issues will benefit your business and ultimately protect you in case of any workplace disputes. If you’re interested in maintaining accurate records and recognizing troubling attendance patterns before they hurt your business, check out our Attendance Calendar app. It will help you take control of employee attendance faster and easier than ever before.

  • Excessive absenteeism can cost your business in actual dollars and cents.
  • How you address attendance issues is as important as how you identify them.
  • It’s essential to maintain accurate records of the problem and any action taken.
  • Address the problem verbally first, followed by a written warning if the situation doesn’t improve.
