O'Meara Camping Ireland have been trading continuously in Ireland since 1966.
Welcome to O'Meara Camping Ireland - Ireland's Biggest Online Camping Store. Although principally a Camping & Leisure store the range of products in O Meara Camping has also evolved with the requirements of our customers. This diversification includes:
O'Meara Camping Ireland remains a market leader, recognized as a household name and brand throughout Ireland and abroad, one of our ads was even referenced in the New York Times. The Camping Brand is synonymous with the name O'Meara Camping, as it has been for over 50 years. Many of our customers are not only repeat, but second or even third generation customers. The longevity of the company is testament to the customer service, diversity and innovative nature of the business. As a camper it is possible that you have one of our Colour Brochures or maybe one of our early Black and White brochures. Have a look at our History section on our web site where some older memories of brochures and holidays of yester year may be re kindled.
Moving with the times O Meara Camping have moved our brochure to the Internet and can now update our products almost immediately as we can post pictures and video on to this new medium very quickly. O'Meara Camping continues to provide our customers with an honest appraisal of products, their quality and suitability. Our after sales services is another delineating quality of the company, our expertise and understanding of our products separates us from our competitors. In keeping with our go it alone policy of own branding and specifications for the Irish market we have also taken our own photographs. Almost all the tents you see on our web site have been erected and photographed by ourselves. Over the years O'Meara Camping has been in many locations but are now back in Crumlin once again.... Yes in the same old building in Sunshine Estate!

Later in the web site I have tried to give an overview of the Trailer Tent but at the risk of repeating myself here is some of the earlier O Meara Camping History.
The first trailer tent in Ireland was the Nimrod built by an American company operating from Belgium. Rory O Meara the then owner of O'Meara Camping got the agency in 1966 at a time when O Meara's only had a basement premises in 78 Lr. Leeson Street. The representative from America nearly had a heart attack when he saw our basement premises but he took a chance anyway. Another early innovation took place in 1966 when O Meara Camping were the first in Ireland, if not Europe, to introduce the framed rucksack. O Meara's imported the framed rucksack from the USA, from the famous Johnson and Johnson Company. At that time we also introduced the electric outboard motor from a USA company, Phluger Corporation of Phoenix, Arizona. We were about twenty years ahead of the market and today they are common on Lough Derg and all over Europe. "The Vicker" trailer tent was another trailer tent manufactured at this time but as far as we are aware it was never introduced into Ireland. Vickers owned The Rolls Royce firm at the time. There was also an early Irish manufactured trailer tent called the "Raparee". The Raparee was a brilliant design but was not able to survive the extreme competition of that time. About 150 were sold. The first mass produced trailer tent was "The Mirror". The Mirror was sold through the U.K. Mirror newspaper group in DIY kit form and popularised the concept. It was never sold in Ireland. The Rover was a variation of it and O Meara's sold hundreds. O Meara Camping introduced the Combi Camp to Ireland and were the most successful distributor in the World, selling more per head of population than anywhere else. Early buyers of the Combi Camp were the the then Government Minister Maura G. Quinn. Another early client was the then Minister for Justice, Sean Doherty. In the heady days of the trailer tent O Meara Camping sold 19 in one day at the RDS Spring Show. Charles Haughey bought a complete set of camping equipment for Inis Vickalaune. The equipment had to be light weight as he was transporting it to the island by helicopter.
Rory O Meara introduced the first Air Camping Holidays in the World when he chartered planes from Aer Lingus to fly holidaymakers to Estepona on the Costa del Sol. A two week holiday including air fare cost twenty nine pounds per person. O'Meara's introduced the continental sited tent holiday to Ireland in conjunction with Normandy Ferries. One of our earliest clients went to Moscow about 1967.
The first meeting of the Irish Camping Club was held in our premises in 1966 in Leeson Street.
During 2011 I received the following e mail unsolicited...
Hi there,
Hi Les,
Martin O'Meara, my cousin, sent your email to me. You are correct, that shop was part of my business back about 40 years ago. I sold it to "Blacks ltd" about 35 years ago. The manager was Rory O'Connor, from Dublin. The others working there were Dave and Mike. I most likely met you on one of my visits. Rory went to Australia after I sold the business. Dave came to Ireland and worked for a year or so in our Cork shop. I do not know anything about Mike. That was the last business I had in London. It started in Kilburn about 1959, moved to Holloway, then Kentish Town, then Willesden and finally to Tottenham. O'Meara Camping is still going strong in Ireland and is owned by a branch of the O'Meara family. I have fond memories of Tottenham. I think we tried selling all sorts of things apart from camping equipment. Rory O'Connor and his wife lived in an apartment over the shop. Shortly after Blacks took over, someone threw a stone through the window, a reaction to the IRA activities at the time. "Blacks Ltd" were not amused!
Thanks for the memory aid. I wonder if the painting will be listed and in time become a bit of history?
Rory O'Meara

I've quit smoking successfully twice in my life.
Once for 20 years and the second time for now 3 years.
Hard to believe that I quit for 20 years and started up again but I did.
So that's the history.
The purpose of this Blog is to help others to quit.
Understand that smoking is both a chemical and psychological addiction. You must deal with both addictions successfully to quit.
When I quit the first time I was smoking 3 packs of cigarettes per day. This was in 1984. My Health Insurance coverage made counseling free. So I got counselor and she taught me to change my smoking habits in a way that would make the psychological addiction less before I actually quit.
In those days you could smoke at work. So she taught me not to smoke at my desk but rather at the table behind it. This and other little tricks helped a lot when I actually did quit a few weeks later.
Get a counselor. They are free.
The second time I quit smoking it was easier. I remembered the tricks the counselor taught me and employed them.
But, the chemical addiction was not as bad because I had switched to make-your-own cigarettes. I bought the tobacco and tubes and using a machine made my own. This is legal in PA where I reside and much cheaper. At the time a pack of make-ur-own cost me 80 cents.
Factory made cigarettes are loaded with stuff that increases your addiction. Big Tobacco got into a lot of trouble over this.
Recently I read a good article on 'Stop Smoking' by Dr. Elizabeth Reid who writes a by-line for the Elks Club Magazine. In it she lists several websites that can be helpful:
.) smokefree.gov
.) cdc.gov/tobacco/quit_smoking/how_to_quit
.) lung.org/stop_smoking/how_to_quit
.) nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/quittingsmoking.html
Some other resources:
.) determinedtoquit.com
Smoking causes various vitamin deficiencies — especially Vitamin C.
If you smoke be sure to take a good Multiple Vitamin.
The LABEL is informative.

Too many secrets. Not enough time.
Nick Merrick is supposed to be the level-headed one. The peacemaker. Since it's just him and his three hotheaded brothers against the world, that's a survival tactic.
But now he's got problems even his brothers can't help him survive.
His so-called girlfriend, Quinn, is going quick as mercury from daring to crazy. Meanwhile, Quinn's dancer friend Adam is throwing Nick off balance, forcing him to recognize a truth he'd rather shove back into the dark.
He can feel it—-the atmosphere is sizzling. Danger is on the way. But whatever happens next, Nick is starting to find out that sometimes nothing you do can keep the peace.

But just as things start heating up news reaches them of a serial killer at loose on the island and it isn't long before their intimate weekend away is interrupted.
A mind reader, a projector, a protective older brother and a serial killer. One of them is going to find Lila first. She's hoping it's the serial killer
Sarah Alderson's back with another exciting story for us die-hard Alex fans! Reading Tormenting Lila made me realise how much I've missed Alex since Losing Lila last year….I'm so glad to be reacquainted with some of my favourite characters (though honestly, I was hoping for more Alex hotness!)
Just like with every other book by Sarah Alderson, I was grinning from ear to ear the whole time. I loved the reappearance of every character, and it was hilarious to see Jack's reaction whenever Alex and Lila are together :) I'll have to admit, there isn't much of a plot in this (even for a novella), but it was an entertaining read nonetheless.
I liked meeting Ren and Jesse, the main characters in The Sound & I absolutely cannot wait to read The Sound now! :)

Black Panther Party Archivist and Historian Bill X Jennings is the curator of Louder than Words: A Portrait of the Black Panther Movement, focused on the Party's social justice and community programs. The Collins Memorial Library exhibit features a broad range of artifacts, including original pamphlets, newspapers, memorabilia and copies of the books on the Panther reading list.
The Black Panther Party was founded in Oakland, California, by Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton while they attended college. Motivated by the Civil Rights Movement, the assassination of Malcolm X, and riots in Los Angeles, the initial impetus for the party was to protect local African American neighborhoods against police brutality. However, the party was more than armed patrols. It also established free breakfast programs, health clinics, and some of the first drug education programs.
Billy grew up in San Diego and moved to Oakland in June 1968. He was a member of the Black Panther Party from 1968 to 1974. He currently works to maintain the legacy of the Black Panther Party, running the website It's About Time which was started by former members of the Black Panther Party in Sacramento in 1995.

Kate's Products in this series address the conflicting concerns of combination skin. Some areas of your skin may be very oily, while other areas, particularly the delicate, thinner skin around the eyes, may be dry. We never use ingredients that are too harsh for dry areas, or contain the type of emollients that can clog pores in oily skin.
All skin types respond best to gentle cleansing. If you have excessive oil, we recommend alternating our Salicylic Cleanser with our Nutritive Oil Cleanser to maintain balance. Our Toner is great to use after cleansing, especially in oil-prone areas.
Providing healthy moisture is always important, even for oily skin. Hyaluronic Acid Ultimate Hydration Serum and Collagen Booster Intense Repair Serum are great choices for overall, healthy moisture. If your eye area is dry, choose our Advanced Eye Therapy Complex as a targeted remedy for fine lines and wrinkles. Complete Daily Moisture is a nutrient-rich, light and healthy moisturizer for daytime, and provides great nutrition that is especially beneficial for the restful, overnight period.
DMAE is excellent for firming and toning. We recommend using it less often/sparingly in dry areas.
For dry and oily areas as well, expect to see noticeable improvements from the great nutrition, antioxidants, and healthy moisture in these formulas.

Hidden Behind This Bookcase Is A Secret Room. Now I Want One.
You've probably heard of the man-cave before: It's a specially partitioned section of the home that is fully dedicated to all things masculine. The idea of the man-cave is that the man of the house has a place to watch sports, eat jerky, chop wood, or do other manly things that I can't even imagine right now.
Well, this is like a man-cave 2.0: A cave for those men who like a little added class. You're going to be shocked when you see how cozy this manly hideaway is - especially when you see how he hid it behind a normal-looking bookshelf.
This new bookcase was built overtop a door in the home's old coal chute room.
But there's more: The bookshelf actually opens!
Here's a close-up of the door latch.
And the deadbolt, for when he definitely doesn't want anyone to disturb him.
He fitted the door with an automatic door-closer.

Reactions & Overreaction: The Truth About Food Allergies
The number of people who have food allergies is relatively small, but those conditions are life-threatening, medical experts say. No cure exists, but attention increasingly is paid to treatments that ease the most serious reactions.
If you don't have a food allergy, you just don't understand the obstacles that those who do face daily." You often hear that sentiment from people who are allergic to food such as milk, eggs, wheat and peanuts, which are U.S. dietary mainstays and difficult to avoid. However, our society is more aware of food allergies than ever before, experts say.
Solutions aren't easy to come by for the 13.4 million to 15 million U.S. consumers who have a food allergy, according to estimates by federal health agencies and food-allergy researchers, particularly when it comes to finding a cure. However, at least the awareness of food allergies is on the rise. A new federal law enables schools to be better prepared if a child has a serious allergic reaction to a food, and the first national food-allergy guidelines for schools were published. That's a good start for the estimated 4 percent to 6 percent of children who have a food allergy, says Dr. Wayne Giles, who is the director of Division of Population Health at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Further, advances in research are helping doctors to diagnose and treat patients, and a potential cure for peanut allergy holds promise.
To get a bead on what it's like to live with food allergies in 2014, we spoke with 14 medical experts, government sources and food-allergy advocates. They tell us that people who have food allergies aren't as isolated as they used to be.
WARY PUBLIC. You likely have seen headlines about food-allergy reactions that might seem like overreactions, such as peanut-free sections that are established at sports stadiums or schools that ban shared treats that are brought from home. Although the number of people who have a food allergy is small, for those people, it's a big problem—potentially fatal.
What the Doc Says
For some peanut-allergy patients, for example, even touching peanuts or breathing in peanut dust, say, from being near to someone who eats peanuts, might lead to an allergic reaction, according to National Institutes of Health. Severe reactions to this type of exposure are unlikely, experts say. The problem is that food-allergy reactions and their treatments don't come in a one-size-fits-all package. In other words, a treatment that might be overkill to one person who has a food allergy might be a lifesaver to another. Although allergic reactions to food aren't always life-threatening, any allergy attack has the potential to be fatal. Medical research and legislative actions react to worst-case scenarios, which are the focus of this report.
Food allergies are estimated to cause about 30,000 episodes of anaphylaxis and 100–200 deaths per year in the United States, according to National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Anaphylaxisis a whole-body reaction, which can include a sudden drop in blood pressure and a narrowing of the airways, and it can be fatal. A December 2013 article in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology pegged the fatalities higher, at between 186 and 225 deaths per year. Cases of anaphylaxis in medical settings rose to 25 per 1 million people in 2009 from 21 per 1 million people in 1999, according to the article.
Children can outgrow food allergies, but no way exists to tell whether yours will be among those who are fortunate enough to do so. A study of 40,104 families that was published in July 2013 in Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology found that 26.6 percent of children outgrew their food allergies by an average age of 5 years, 5 months. NIAID says children are more likely to outgrow milk, egg, soy and wheat allergies eventually; peanut and tree-nut allergies are less likely to go away.

This week journalists have been given a rare insight into the workings of the man who has transformed Liverpool over the last two years and turned them into Premier League title challengers again.
Of course pre-season is used to build fitness and that work has been done by Rodgers and his expert coaching staff, but now it is all about ball work.
Almost every session in the shadows of America's most famous college, Harvard University, has been a lesson in ball retention and quick passing.
The sun may have been beating down all week, but the pace of the sessions never slowed as they trained with adoring fans watching from behind a wire fence.
One touch, two touch drills that kept everyone on their toes were frequent among passing sessions and six v six practice games.
Every detail is monitored by the teacher, Rodgers, who stands proud on the touchline writing down notes on a large white pad, gesturing to his players and offering advice.
Everyone seems comfortable and everyone seems open to the tips, criticisms and encouragement not only from the manager but also from team-mates.
On Thursday, Rodgers spotted the group of press watching and came over to explain how hard his team work.
It was evident from the sweat alone, but watching it proved why this team time and time again blew away opponents last season, especially in the early stages of games as they worked tireless in heat well over 30 degrees.
Rodgers has brought his style wherever he went, and what he found at Liverpool two years ago was a hard-working team that was just not playing the way he would like.
Squad additions and sales have obviously played a huge role in changing their way of playing, but these fast-paced drills are where the changes also come from.
When the Northern Irishman visited this city with his squad two years ago just after taking over, he spoke about how players would have to commit to his way of working.
The sessions this week prove they have wholeheartedly and that is why it has worked so well for the manager and the club.
Rodgers also said back then that realistically it would be tough to have Liverpool back as title challengers within two years.
But not only has he managed that, he has also done it in a stylish fashion on the pitch and the glimpse we have had this week into his workings shows us exactly how it was possible.

I think I'm more anxious than I expected about my ablation tomorrow. My AF is really bad the last couple of days.
I looked at some information about the procedure and was shocked that on You Tube videos they were saying it takes an average of 3-5 hours. Is this correct? I'm also having a general anaesthetic, so surely I'm not going to be under for that long?
What was your experiences of ablation procedures?

Moving to Stockholm?
Stockholm: Getting there and around
Stockholm is in fact a public transportation hub. It has both an excellent underground system as well as great connections to other destinations within Sweden and Europe. Once you have moved to Stockholm, getting around is actually quite simple. The transportation system prides itself on being efficient, safe and comprehensive.
Public Transportation in Stockholm
While Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL) operates trams, buses, commuter trains and ferries, Stockholm's underground is probably the most convenient way to get around. The city of Stockholm is divided into three zones. With a zone ticket you can take several trips within 75–120 minutes.
You can purchase your ticket at vending machines, SL centers and even via text message. But keep in mind that it is not possible to buy your ticket directly on the bus and train by paying in cash. You should, however, be able to find ticket machines that allow you to pay cash at various bus stops.
If you want to explore the city of Stockholm via public transport, take a trip with bus 69 or tram 7. They offer you the best of Stockholm, taking you to Djurgården and major attractions such as Skansen and the Vasa Museum. The subway stations also exhibit various art pieces, acting as the world's longest art gallery.
Variable Prices: Traveling by Taxi
You are free to choose from one of the many different taxi companies in Stockholm. Keep in mind, however, that approved taxis with metered fares have yellow license plates. It is probably smart to choose one of these to make sure you are not overcharged.
How much you actually have to pay depends very much on the time of day as there are different fares for day and night travels. However, it should not cost you more than between 290 and 390 SEK to travel about 10km (approximately 15 minutes). As a rule of thumb, large taxis are usually more expensive. Trips to and from Arlanda airport often come at a fixed price of between 459 and 500 SEK. You should try to find out about this beforehand.
Exploring Sweden and Beyond
Once you have moved to Stockholm, you should use the opportunity to explore the rest of Sweden and to visit neighboring European countries. The city's Arlanda airport is located 45km north of the city center. It offers connections to plenty of destinations all over Europe.
If you'd rather keep your feet firmly on the ground, you can, of course, choose to travel by bus, train or car. There are different bus companies which offer long-distance trips around Sweden and to neighboring Scandinavian countries. Big companies are Swebus Express, which has 150 locations, and Ybuss.
As an alternative, you can also choose to travel by train from Stockholm's Central Station. National and long-distance trains are run by Sveriges Järväg and Tágkompaniet. Trains in Sweden are very efficient and will take you across the whole country, so hop on a train and explore! But if you don't want to forgo the convenience of travelling by car, this is possible as well. The E4 motorway passes directly through Stockholm on its way from Helsingborg to Haparanda. The E20 motorway runs from Stockholm to Göteborg, and the E18, which passes the city in the North, will take you all the way to Oslo.

I'm loving these latest shots for Ikea by photographer Carl Kleiner. Similar to the images he created for Ikea's first cookbook, Hembakat är Bäst (Homemade is Best) Kleiner forgoes the usual backdrop and takes a bird's eye view that allows us to completely focus in on the actual products. Aside from the photography, I love how each shot is so perfectly composed and balanced. Big props to the stylist (and Kleiner's wife) Evelina Kleiner.

text: Do you ever find yourself at an art show or street fair and you suddenly stop dead in tracks? That's what happened when I saw the paintings of Robert Burt. They transport you immediately and you find yourself feeling a part of the composition. There's a dreamy quality to his work that I love. I wish I could buy something from every artist that I admire. I'm sure they get tired of hearing how beautiful their work is. You can't live off of words. Check his website for more details about the artist and a full listing of other galleries that represent him.

If you're fighting a battle against dark marks, uneven skin tone or rough skin then I'm pretty sure you're aware that none of the above, are easy battles to win.
However, the guys over POND'S believes that their Flawless Radiance range, together with POND'S GenActiv™ COVER technology, is going to diminish dark marks and give you an even, more brighter skin tone!
I tried out the POND'S Flawless Radiance Day Cream, Night Cream and the BB cream and here are my thoughts..
The Day Cream:
I don't have particularly oily skin – but I do tend to get oily around my t-zone halfway throughout the day and the POND'S Flawless Radiance Day Cream really helps to keep oil at bay.
During my test-and-review period of this range, I used the day cream as a sub for my primer and it really did a wonderful job in keeping my skin moisturized and my foundation in place.
The Night Cream:
I absolutely love this texture of this product. It's super silky and just feels so luxurious on your skin.
It's a nifty product to add moisture back into the skin!
And now, on to my favorites..
The BB Cream in Chocolate and Beige
What I love about these BB's, besides being so affordable, is that it's very light on the skin but it still manages to cover up the necessary marks and blemishes. The BB cream also serves a dual purpose of evening out the skin tone whilst covering marks and providing sun protection.
It's also great for sensitive skin and won't make you break out either, so those of you with acne-prone skin you definitely want to try this out! (Remember to do it on a tiny patch of skin first!)
When applying you literally need the tiniest amount. Like, a dot of this BB covers my entire nose – no kidding! And using less, means a longer lasting product which means it saves money too! If you'd like, you can purchase both the beige and chocolate shade and use them for highlighting and contouring your nose, cheeks and jawbones.
Definitely a product worth purchasing!
Overall, I absolutely am loving the POND'S Flawless Radiance Range and would definitely recommend that you guys try it out!

What is The Voice of the Martyrs?
Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, the founder of The Voice of the Martyrs, was imprisoned for a total of 14 years in Romania when it was a communist country. After Pastor Wurmbrand was released from prison and left Romania, he and his wife, Sabina, started a ministry in 1967 to inform Christians about the needs of their persecuted brothers and sisters around the world, and to help persecuted Christians and their families. The ministry, Jesus to the Communist World, was later renamed The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM).
Today VOM continues to spread the message of the persecuted church and to help Christians in more than 50 countries through the International Christian Association of mission offices. VOM publishes a monthly 12-page The Voice of the Martyrs newsletter, which is distributed to more than 500,000 subscribers free of charge.
What is Kids of Courage?
The Voice of the Martyrs publishes Kids of Courage (formerly LINK International) materials for children ages 5 to 13 so that families, schools, and churches can teach children about the persecuted church. Kids of Courage publications are committed to the following principles:
- Educating students about courageous Christians and countries that restrict Christian worship.
- Encouraging students toward greater spiritual growth by giving them examples of those who are risking all for Christ.
- Providing practical opportunities for students to pray for and aid today's heroes of the faith.
Kids of Courage materials include the following:
- Bold Believers activity books: Include 40+ pages of stories, activities, photos, and cultural information about one topic or country. Selected titles are free to download on the Kids of Courage website.
- Kids of Courage website (www.kidsofcourage.com): Includes updates that complement the monthly VOM newsletter for adults. Activities and stories relate to information in recent VOM publications. The site also includes an interactive country map and charts comparing Christianity with other beliefs.
- VOMBooks online bookstore (www.vombooks.com): Offers additional publications and DVDs for families and children.
- Kids of Courage newsletter: The Kids of Courage quarterly newsletter was printed from 1996 to 2011. It is no longer published. Selected past issues are available at www.kidsofcouragemag.com, and from the Download section at www.kidsofcourage.com.
Can you teach kids about persecution?
The Voice of the Martyrs is experienced at presenting Christian persecution to children sensitively and effectively, without talking down to them or overwhelming them. Since 1996, feedback from parents, teachers, and children has consistently indicated that Kids of Courage resources are educating and encouraging children in appropriate ways. (Additional feedback is welcome.)
How graphic are the stories of persecution in Kids of Courage materials?
VOM's Kids of Courage materials convey the struggles endured by persecuted Christians without including graphic descriptions or photos, or age-inappropriate concepts. The emphasis is on the persecuted Christians' courage, obedience, joy, and perseverance in following Christ.
How do kids react to stories of persecuted Christians?
The Kids of Courage stories and activities help children experience the deeper joys of standing firm for Christ in times of difficulty. They convey the strength and victory of abiding in Christ under all circumstances and help give children the inner strength necessary to help the persecuted without cringing or turning away. Kids generally respond well if given the opportunity to help through prayer or projects.
Non-Christian students are introduced to the Christian Church at its best through stories of persecuted Christians. They learn about a faith that will not disappoint them if they decide to test its claims to the fullest.
Do some kids have adverse reactions to stories about persecuted Christians?
When components of the curriculum were tested at the Kids Conference of a VOM National Conference, some children reacted to stories of persecution by saying, "I hate Muslims." Subsequent events and conferences emphasized Jesus' command to "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Pastor Wurmbrand noted, "Jesus fears and hates no one."
What if some in my church are not sure they want to teach kids about persecution?
With parents' approval, try using stories and activities from www.kidsofcourage.com or from Kids of Courage publications as the basis for a Sunday school lesson or other kids' activity. If the parents and children respond favorably, church members may be more willing to consider a KOC VBS.
Does it really work to have one teacher teach about the same country to different classes and ages?
Teachers appreciate having to prepare to teach about only one country. The material is adaptable for all age groups.
Will our church have to order additional materials to put on a good VBS, or is the curriculum enough?
The Kids of Courage VBS Director's Guide includes everything necessary for planning and directing a VBS for kids from kindergarten through sixth grade. However, if directors would prefer to order VOM DVDs rather than organize skits for the daily opening and closing assemblies, DVDs are available for purchase from VOM at www.vombooks.com. A Resource Guide is included in the curriculum for those who might want to order additional Kids of Courage materials, but they are not necessary to complete the curriculum.
What version of the Bible is used in the curriculum?
Memory verses are from the NKJV translations of the Bible. Directors may feel free to use the version of their choice in the activities.
What is The Voice of the Martyrs' statement of faith?
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, authoritative Word of God. God is eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His personal return in power and glory. We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.
Can the curriculum be used in settings other than a VBS?
The curriculum is designed to be used in a five-session VBS. However, components of the curriculum are suitable for use in Sunday schools, Christian school classrooms, homeschool co-ops, AWANA groups, and kids clubs. VOM has received feedback from leaders indicating that components of the material have been used successfully in those and other settings.
Are churches who use the Kids of Courage VBS curriculum expected to raise money for VOM projects as part of their VBS?
Fundraising projects are not included in the Director's Guide or Teachers' Guides as part of the daily presentations or lessons. The Resource & Project Guide offers suggestions for hands-on projects to do to help persecuted Christians, and a description of some projects for which VOM accepts donations. VBS directors and staff may decide if they want to participate in any of the projects as part of the VBS curriculum.
Are the curriculum's teachings about salvation compatible with the teachings of my denomination?
Several opportunities to discuss salvation are presented in the curriculum. Directors and teachers may use those opportunities in accordance with their denomination's teachings as they see fit.
Does the curriculum teach or imply that American Christians are persecuted or soon will be?
The topic is not directly addressed, but students are encouraged to be prepared for any difficulties that may arise in their lives. Courageous Christians who stand firm in their faith in times of struggle are presented as examples.

text: Unlocking the central nervous system The Centre for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine at UTS sits on the cusp of a revolution as it unlocks the secrets of the central nervous system. Ground-breaking research at UTS's Centre of Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine (CNRM) is bringing new hope to Australians whose lives have been devastated by Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, stroke, and the paralysing effects of a spinal cord injury. Lead by Professor Bryce Vissel, the CNRM has a unique opportunity to become known as a world-leading centre for spinal cord injury by providing a level of recovery from spinal cord injury previously thought impossible; as well as a world-leading platform for molecular, cellular and behavioural research that will ultimately benefit the lives of people suffering from neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The human brain and spinal cord remain the most significant mysteries in science and modern medicine. Neurological and psychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, spinal cord injury, and mental illnesses such as depression are some of the most challenging problems in human health and take a toll on individuals, families and society. "We are on the edge of a revolution in neuroscience and brain repair," says Vissel. "Our goal is to contribute to a step change in our understanding and treatment of these diseases." Alzheimer's disease alone affects more than 413,106 Australians. That number increases by 244 each day. By 2025, that figure is expected to rise to more than 536,164, with the annual cost of simply caring for them reaching $18.7 billion. Parkinson's disease affects more than 70,000 Australians, with 32 new cases diagnosed every day. In a single year, the health system costs of Parkinson's disease amount to $567.7 million. Spinal cord injuries in Australia also carry a considerable national cost – $2 billion annually for the estimated 15,000 people who have lost not just the use of their limbs, but also their independence and their control over numerous functions we take for granted, such as sexual function, bowel control and bladder control. Using a clinical focus, the CNRM will incorporate the most promising approaches from around the world into its own local research with a view to developing superior techniques and achieving improved outcomes. Unlike other research centres, the CNRM has the ability to collaborate in unprecedented ways with unrelated disciplines; with physicists, engineers and nurses, as well as external organisations such as Spinal Cord Injuries Australia and SpinalCure Australia. With so much potential at its fingertips, it sits on the precipice of a revolution in neuroscience and brain repair as it edges closer towards bringing meaningful benefits, potential recovery, and most importantly, real hope, to these patients and their families. Supporters who have seen Vissel at work do not doubt his resolve. "He has an unbelievable commitment to creating an improvement in neuroscience that is everlasting," says Andrew Boyarsky, whose family has made a significant investment in the CNRM. "It's his commitment, his intelligence, his unorthodoxy and his compassion that set him apart." For more information, contact email@example.com Story and photography by Kevin Cheung

All Gears Driving School in Nanaimo providing 1 on 1 driving lessons for all ages and abilities to ICBC road test standard.
My name is Paul Frankcom and I am a Driving Instructor in Nanaimo. I moved to Nanaimo over 10 years ago from the UK. I have helped young and old to learn to drive working with other driving schools before starting my own school in 2016.
I am a parent of 3 teens myself so understand the parent teen relationship and how it can make the learning process challenging for both parent and child.
My philosophy on learning to drive is that it should firstly be safe but it should also be FUN! If you are having fun you will learn and be receptive to new ideas and ways of doing things.
My car driving experience in the many different countries that I have been very fortunate to visit over the years has given me a good education on what to expect on the road. I have also ridden motorcycles for many years and raced cars competitively in Europe for several years giving me a depth of experience that I am able to offer to all of my students to help them learn and grow into safe drivers.
Learning to drive for the very first time is exciting, stressful, challenging and sometimes overwhelming and that is just how the parents can be feeling! Holding a valid driving license is one of those key moments in life that as a parent we want to share with our kids but can easily turn into a negative experience because of our own anxieties.
Allowing a patient trained professional driving instructor help a new driver take those important first steps to getting their license will help to alleviate the worst of those negative feelings and just leave the sheer joy of being in full control of a vehicle on the roads.
Everyone learns in a different manner whether it is visually, audibly or by hands on learning and learning to drive is no different and your trained instructor will know how to get the best from YOU. They will identify your traits and tailor the lessons accordingly to enable you to learn at the best rate possible. Always bear in mind when booking driving lessons or learning to do anything that not everyone learns at the same rate so that is why we offer flexible lesson packages that can be mixed and matched to provide the best solution for you.
What you will get from a driving instructor is someone who will be honest about the ability and level that a student has attained. They will provide consistent constructive critique about how to make a person's driving skills better and encouragement when things sometimes things don't go as planned.
" Excellent instruction and realistic, helpful feedback on driving capabilities. Our son passed his test at the first attempt, something that is unlikely had we been teaching him to drive ourselves. Thank you for helping to get him on the road safely!" - BP
"Great experience with Paul, very helpful in calming pre-test nerves. He's knowledgeable and patient and helps you focus on what matters. Definitely would recommend!" - AD
"Paul is an excellent driving instructor. I always looked forward to getting in the car with him. Lessons are calm and informative, plus he cracks the occasional joke too! More importantly, he teaches in a way that is easily understood and answers questions clearly. If you are looking for an instructor, Paul is your guy!" - NK
"I just passed my road test. Thanks to Paul. He is an awesome instructor. He gave me all necessary instructions to follow to be a safe driver. I booked the class on very short notice and travel to Nanaimo from Vancouver and Paul accommodated his schedule and help me in passing my road test. I definitely recommend everyone ALL GEAR DRIVING SCHOOL." - AA
Yes, I will pick you up at virtually any location within the city limits of Nanaimo and then after your driving lesson deliver you safely back to wherever you wish to be.
If you live outside of Nanimo we can arrange a convenient location for pick up.
All Gears Driving School in Nanaimo only offer "One on One" lessons to ensure that your learning experience is fully catered to you. This means that you will never have another student in the car who is being picked up or dropped off either side of YOUR lesson.
Yes, gift certificates are available for purchase. Please purchase a suitable lesson package and advise me that you need a gift certificate. A gift certificate will then be emailed to you for you to present to your new driver.
The new driver will then need to contact the school to arrange a convenient lesson time and present the gift certificate to the instructor at the first lesson. Gift certificates are valid for 1 year from the date of issue.
Yes, like all official driving schools in BC we are licensed under the Motor Vehicle Act. If you are looking at other driving schools please ask for proof that both the school and its driving instructors are licensed by ICBC to operate as a driving school or as driving instructor.
The automatic lessons will take place in a 2016 Mazda 3 Sport GS equipped with dual controls.
The School vehicle is fully insured, service regularily and inspected annually.
In winter it runs on Full Winter Tires allowing lessons and road test to continue regardless of the weather.
If you have further questions please contact me either using the Contact From on this site or Call 250-713-4128.
If you are ready to get going....

Spectronics Corp.: Leak Detection Dye
April 30, 2004
AR-GLO® fluorescent dye is a refrigerant leak detection dye. To use, add a small amount of the dye into a system and permit it to circulate. The dye will mark each spot where the refrigerant escapes. The system can then be scanned with a high-intensity ultraviolet lamp. The residual dye glows a bright yellow-green to reveal the exact location of all leaks, says the company. It remains in the system until the oil is changed. It can be used with commonly used refrigerants, including R-134a and blends.

text: I've told very few people this, but I was once involved in a police brutality situation. With all that's gone on in the world today, my confrontation pales significantly in comparison. But there is a lesson that I learned from it. A lesson that is beginning to awaken a vigor in my being for not just my personal life, but also my business and what history I mean to leave this world with.

The cabbage soup diet is an eating plan that is designed to help with quick weight loss. The promise? Eat lots of cabbage soup for seven days and drop 10 pounds.
While touted as a way to lose extra pounds in a short amount of time, the Mayo Clinic considers the cabbage soup diet a type of fad diet that simply doesn't work as well as other proven long-term weight loss methods. (1) Not to mention, the numerous restrictions set forth by the diet could make you lose out on vital nutrients and disrupt your metabolism.
Still, the prospect of eating a lot of cabbage soup for a short period of time appeals to people who want a quick fix. "This diet 'works' merely because it's super restrictive in calories," says Julie Rothenberg, RD, LDN, owner of JuliENERGYnutrition in Miami. "It markets itself to people who want to lose weight for a special occasion or event coming up."
While some people do successfully meet such short-term goals, the weight often comes back once you stop doing the diet — much to the same effect as other types of popular diets.
Aside from more weight gain, this fad diet can also cause other uncomfortable side effects that may interfere with your daily activities.
"The cabbage soup diet is a seven-day diet [that] is low in fat and high in fiber," says Rothenberg, explaining that the approach calls for followers to eat cabbage soup several times per day for one week.
According to the Mayo Clinic, fad diets like the cabbage soup diet don't include exercise as part of their plans. Regular physical activity is essential to help you maintain a low weight. Plus, exercise is good for your heart and brain, decreasing your risk for chronic illnesses.
The purpose of the cabbage soup diet is to restrict calories by restricting your food intake severely. "The low-calorie diet combined with the high fiber content of the filling vegetables, fruit, and cabbage help a person to go to the bathroom more than usual," Rothenberg says. "At the end of the week, there is weight loss from water weight primarily, and largely due to calorie restriction."
According to a review published in September 2017 in the journal of Functional Foods in Health and Disease, you only eat 1,000 calories or less during the first few days of the cabbage soup diet. (2) Throughout the rest of the week, you gradually increase your calorie intake to about 1,200 calories per day. Given the limited calories you're consuming during the plan, you could technically lose 4 pounds (lbs) or more on the diet. But this is far more than the recommended 1- or 2-lb loss per week when on a safer, more gradual weight-loss plan.
Proponents of the cabbage soup diet claim it's designed for short-term use only and may help you transition into a longer-term diet. (3)
The cabbage soup diet is intended for people looking for a short-term solution to excess weight — in this case, the diet lasts for only one week. It's not intended for use any longer than that.
But you can still incorporate some of the recipes you like as part of a moderate, balanced diet after the week is up. The diet is also relatively inexpensive because it incorporates everyday food items — particularly lots of cabbage.
This diet also seems to work best for people who like foods that are on the restricted list of items you can eat. In fact, one of the reasons why people quit this diet is they can't stand the taste of the soup. You may not like the diet if you need someone to help you stay accountable.
Also, this plan doesn't seem to work well for people who need to lose significant amounts of weight. This type of diet also isn't intended for people with chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes, who have particular dietary needs that may be harmed with the restricted caloric intake and food limitations.
The foods and drinks you can consume on the cabbage soup diet include:
Still, you can only eat the above items on certain days (see the sample meal plan below). Restricted items include:
Anything not listed in the diet plan is off limits in the cabbage soup diet.
Like all fad diets, the cabbage soup diet poses a range of risks and few long-term benefits. Short-term risks include:
An important consideration is the lack of healthy fats in this diet. While you may be looking to get rid of body fat, dietary forms of fat are important in satiety. Healthy fats, such as those found in fish, nuts, and low-fat dairy products, also contain important nutrients. "Essentially there is very little fat included in this diet because the only fat source comes from the beef, or milk if choosing whole milk," says Rothenberg.
Perhaps one of the most concerning risks associated with fad diets like the cabbage soup diet is the havoc they can wreak on your metabolism, making you gain more weight after you've quit the diet. "I have had a client come to me and say they did the cabbage soup diet prior and it did 'work' in the short term, but she ended up gaining the weight back with an additional 5 lbs the following week," Rothenberg recalls.
Although there is no scientific evidence that suggests the cabbage soup diet is safe and effective for weight loss, eating cabbage soup alone as part of a balanced diet may be beneficial.
For example, a preliminary study on the effects of red cabbage consumption in obese mice found decreased cholesterol over the course of eight weeks. The study was published in December 2016 in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, though it's unclear whether the same results would be found in humans and in a randomized controlled clinical trial — the gold standard for medical research.

Aside from fiber, cabbage furthermore has other nutrients that may play a crucial role in weight loss and weight management efforts. According to the September 2017 review in Functional Foods in Health and Disease, certain ingredients in cabbage are anti-inflammatory, and may help regulate your metabolism and blood sugar levels. (2)
This review suggests the potential beneficial anti-inflammatory components in cabbage include:
A ½ cup serving of cooked cabbage also contains 1 gram (g) of protein and 1.4 g of fiber, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. (5) When consumed with other plant-based foods and lean proteins, cabbage soup can complement your diet. But eating cabbage soup as part of a restrictive diet may cause more problems for your weight than good.
Another study published in April 2014 in the British Journal of Nutrition found that adults who ate soup regularly for five years had healthier weights and overall nutritionally balanced diets. (6) Still, it's important to note here that the study looked at soups overall, and not just cabbage soup. Study subjects also didn't face any dietary restrictions as are seen in the cabbage soup diet. It's also important to note that eating too much soup may negatively affect your blood sugar due to its typical high sodium content.
If you're already at a healthy weight, do not have underlying health conditions that would make the plan unsafe, and want to lose a few extra pounds, talk to your doctor or nutritionist about whether the cabbage soup diet is right for you. Chances are they'll recommend a longer term, safer eating plan that can help you lose a pound per week instead. Know that losing smaller amounts of weight at a time is better for you in the long run, as it's more likely to stay off and not pose nutritional deficiencies during the plan period.
As Rothenberg points out, the effect of this diet won't last, and in the end, the approach may do more harm than good for your waistline. "This doesn't 'reset' your metabolism — it messes with it," she explains, noting that yo-yo dieting tends to lead to more abdominal fat that ends up being increasingly difficult to trim.
While the cabbage soup diet is, in theory, easy to follow, the problem is the diet isn't sustainable. Healthy, gradual weight loss is much more beneficial, safer, and easier to follow in the long haul.
