TEEB Training Session 4: Criticisms of valuation
TEEB Training Outline The Process of Valuation –Assumptions –Does the process of eliciting values change our perceptions? –How the process affects outcomes –What negative changes might the process of valuation provoke? Valuation and time lags Drawing the boundary on what we can/should value How to choose how to value
TEEB Training Assumptions: the process of valuation When asking Willingness To Pay we assume that people: –Hold values in advance or can easily generate them –Have sufficient information and understanding of what they are valuing –Can decide (alone) on the values they attribute to ecosystems –Value consistently –Value according to individual rationality
TEEB Training Does the process of eliciting values change our perceptions? Valuation promotes a universal notion of the environment By placing values on nature we change existing concepts of ownership and property As values have not been previously defined the process of valuation changes how we appreciate nature –Individual preferences outweigh consensus building and collective decision making –Are we constructing markets that are set up to fail?
TEEB Training Does the process of eliciting values change our perceptions? cont… The psychological viewpoint considers that valuation assumes (and champions) rational choice over intuition: –Economics focuses on the outcome of decisions not the process –Empirical studies of behaviour do not back up economic theories of preference
TEEB Training What negative changes might the process of valuation provoke? On-going debate about attaching new forms of property rights to nature and culture –Linked to the granting of resource rights to traditional indigenous groups and rural populations –Often assumed that such groups have inherent knowledge that allows them to act as stewards of nature Such policies significantly change the relationships within and between groups over the rights to control, exclude and exploit resources
TEEB Training Valuation and time lags Potentially critical time-lag in the valuation feedback mechanism –As values are an outcome of existing, current institutional, cultural and social constructs then adaptation to environmental change is required (when the change occurs) –As ecosystems are degraded and biodiversity lost, attitudes and values towards nature will change, but the time-lag may be long
TEEB Training Drawing the boundary on what we can/should value OConnor and Frame (2008) propose two thresholds beyond which assessing trade-offs or monetary choice is inappropriate -Either estimation is scientifically difficult; or -The implied trade-off is deemed morally inappropriate
TEEB Training How to choose how to value The choice of valuation method will define the outcome of the valuation process (Vatn, 2005)
TEEB Training Module 4 Summary The TEEB tiered approach RECOGNISING VALUE Sometimes sufficient Often the case where cultural and spiritual values are strong DEMONSTRATING VALUE In economic terms, costs and benefits Useful to policy-makers and businesses Economic valuation exercises CAPTURING VALUE Putting ecosystem values into decision-making Through incentives and price signals Market-based solutions not necessarily best
TEEB Training Applying the tiered approach Step 1:Identify and assess the full range of ecosystem services affected and the implications for different groups in society Step 2:Estimate and demonstrate the value of ecosystem services using appropriate methods, including linkages over time and scale, local v global, current use v future use Step 3:Capture the value of ecosystem services and seek solutions to overcome their under-valuation through economic policy instruments (subsidies, fiscal incentives, charges for access and use, payments for ecosystem services, property rights, eco-labelling and certification etc.)

Khartoum, Oct. 19 (SUNA) - An additional loan of agreement of 104 million dollars was signed initially by the government and the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development. Al-Tayeb Mustafa Abu-Ganaya signed for the government of Sudan and Dr. Saad Akasha signed for the fund, in the presence of the Ministers of Finance and Industry. The Minister of Finance, Dr. Awad Ahmed Al-Jaz, has appreciated the role of the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development in support of the development in Sudan. The Minister of Industry, Dr. Jalal Yousif Al-Degair, said that the White Nile Sugar project aims to produce 500,000 tons of sugar, 100 millions tons of ethanol and 25,000 tons of cash crops.
Khartoum, Oct 19 (SUNA) - The Head of the parliamentarian bloc of the National Congress Party (NCP)within the National Assembly, Dr Ghazi Salahudin Atabani, has said he considers the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) demand for speedy review of the draft bills while at the same time impeding the work of the National Assembly by staying away from parliamentary work, contradiction in positions
Dr Ghazi has meanwhile stressed the core of parliamentary process being debate and discussions in an attempt to reconcile different views to the benefit of the homeland, thus any violation of those traditions would only be a bad practice
Commenting on the withdrawal of the SPLM bloc from the parliament and their boycotting of the session for one week, on the ground of lack of ratification of some draft bills relevant to democratic transformation, Dr Ghazi said the use of the tool of preconditions by one parliamentary block against another contradicts the core principle of the idea of the parliament
Ghazi said there was no clause within the CPA or the Interim Constitution that is relevant to the law of the public shura (consultancy)
Ghazi pointed out to the repeated objections of the SPLM against the agreement reached by the Vice President of the SPLM, Dr Rick Machar, and the Vice President of the Republic, Ali Osman Mohamed Taha, reflects an internal problem
He said the important thing is that agreement should be honored
He said they would be keen to contact the SPLM to convince it into reconsidering its decision and to return back to the parliament and debate with good intent
Khartoum, Oct 19 (SUNA) - The Presidential Advisor and responsible for the Darfur dossier in the Government, Dr Ghazi Salahuddin has pointed out that concerned bodies in the Government of National Unity would study carefully the declared American strategy towards the Sudan before stating final position therein
Dr Ghazi told a press briefing on Monday that it was also noted that the strategy has been void of talk about some of the fundamental ideas that were propagated by some circles such as the imposition of sanction on the Sudan, sanctions that would go from military intervention up to imposition of no flight zone
Dr Ghazi said this was a very important development, reflecting the new trend in the policy of President Obama
Dr Ghazi also said it was noted that the strategy, the declaration of which was delayed, received the support of all the teams concerned with the Sudanese affairs and we hope that this would result in an end to the contention within the establishment of the American Administration towards the Sudan and would allow the American officials think with one mind and talk with one tongue
Dr Ghazi said it was regrettable that the administration has been insisting on the use of genocide term
He has however stressed that this was a matter that concerns the Americans, but it does not reflect the reality on the ground
He said "we would only like to pinpoint that the American administration will find itself isolated before all the countries and peoples of the world about the description of the facts in the ground in Darfur
The strategy, he stressed, was void of any tangible steps that the American administration would commit itself to it
He said the administration has presumed that actions should come only from the part of the Sudanese government and that the role of the American administration would only be to assess these actions and to reply to them
Dr Ghazi said the Sudanese people believe that the Sudanese problems could be resolvedly by the Sudanese themselves and the government would be working according to these principles but that it would accept all sincere contribution that would help resolve these problems
Dr Ghazi underlined that the interaction of the government of the Sudan the United States of America would be accordingly, bound in this by the Sudanese lofty principles and Sudanese National interests
He said we realize the difference between sayings and deeds and we hope the detailed application of the American strategy would be better than the theoretical contents, saying we will follow the implementation in an interaction methodology that focus on the practical results

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama said Monday that the U.S. is shifting its policy toward Sudan, offering the government incentives if it takes steps to improve the human suffering there and work toward internal peace.
But sanctions and pressure from the international community will follow if Sudan does not follow that path, Obama said.
The president said he will soon renew tough sanctions against the government of President Omar al-Bashir, whom the International Criminal Court has charged with crimes against humanity and war crimes for allegedly masterminding deadly attacks throughout Sudan's Darfur region.
"If the government of Sudan acts to improve the situation on the ground and to advance peace, there will be incentives. If it does not, then there will be increased pressure imposed by the United States and the international community," Obama said. "As the United States and our international partners meet our responsibility to act, the government of Sudan must meet its responsibilities to take concrete steps in a new direction."
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced details of the new approach at the State Department, which considers Sudan a "state sponsor of terrorism." ''Sitting on the sidelines is not an option," said Clinton, who was joined by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice and Scott Gration, the president's special envoy to Sudan.
"It is up to us and our partners in the international community to make a concerted and sustained effort to help bring lasting peace and stability to Sudan and avoid more of the conflict that has produced a vast sea of human misery and squandered the potential and security of a vital region of the world."
The U.N. says the conflict in Darfur has claimed at least 300,000 lives as a result of violence, disease and displacement since February 2003, when ethnic African rebels took up arms against the Arab-dominated Sudanese government in Khartoum, claiming discrimination and neglect. Some 2.7 million fled their homes. At its peak in 2003-2005, the situation was called the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
Obama has labeled the conflict in Darfur as genocide.
Asked to justify how Obama can work more closely with someone he believes is guilty of genocide, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said: "The president still believes that. But what we're trying to do is seek a comprehensive solution to this problem that again addresses both the humanitarian crisis that has happened and is ongoing in Darfur, as well as a comprehensive peace between the North and South."
Obama said the U.S. and the international community must act "with a sense of urgency and purpose," a sentiment that was underscored when Darfur peacekeepers reported a sizable and unusual increase in military activity by Sudanese government forces and a Darfur rebel group in northern Darfur.
The United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur expressed grave concern about the build up "as it may signal the impending start of a new cycle of armed confrontations in the area." Mission spokesman Kemal Saiki said peacekeepers in the area have seen a buildup of military material and personnel as well as digging of trenches by government forces and rebels from the Sudan Liberation Army-Abdul Wahid faction.
In Khartoum, Ghazi Salah Eddin Atabani, a senior adviser to al-Bashir and the government's point man on Darfur, appeared on Sudanese TV and contrasted the new U.S. policy with its more "extremist" past.
"We hope that this will end the debate among U.S. officials and we hope that now they will think with one mind and speak with one tongue," he said.
Rice and Gration have clashed over how far to engage al-Bashir. Gration publicly has argued for a less strict line toward al-Bashir, who he has told officials is the key to resolving the situations in Darfur and in southern Sudan, which in 2005 signed a provisional peace deal with the government in Khartoum, ending Africa's longest-running civil war. Rice favored taking a harder line approach.
The new policy is designed to bring Khartoum into the fold by offering incentives for improvements in the situation in Darfur and in southern Sudan, which is scheduled in 2011 to hold a referendum on succession, they said. Click to Watch Video

26 Jan Exciting new offering at LWC this spring: Nitrous Oxide for labor!
We are excited to announce that coming this Spring, LWC will offer Nitrous Oxide as an option for labor management!
We will be one of the first maternity care facilities in the Philadelphia region to offer this safe, easy and comforting form of relief. Our mission has always been to empower women to feel in control of their birth experience, and Nitrous Oxide is a fantastic tool that falls within the continuum of this philosophy of care.
Women report reduction in anxiety, pain relief, and feelings of euphoria and comfort, and we believe it may help more women achieve their goals of a fulfilling and empowering birth experience!
Of course, all clients will continue to receive our personalized care, education and support, and, as with all pain relief choices, nitrous will be optional.
In many countries including the UK, Finland, Sweden, Canada and Australia, nitrous oxide is one of the most common forms of labor pain relief. It is safe to use in all stages of labor, as well as during postpartum repairs.
Nitrous is taken easily via facemask, and women remain fully conscious. One study found that c-section rates were lower in nitrous users, and active labor shorter. It can be initiated and discontinued quickly, and relief usually occurs after 30-60 seconds. It also clears from the system in 30-60 seconds. Women maintain total freedom of movement. It has no effect on fetal heart rate and is eliminated quickly and entirely, and does not affect babies' respirations, nor their sucking or neonatal behavior.
There are some contraindications to use, so we will carefully screen clients and will make sure you are informed as to whether it is a good option for you.
After 50 years of extensive, safe use in other countries, we are excited to have another option to offer women as an aid to achieving their birth hopes and dreams!

| keito-kyokun chapter 1 . 8/27/2005
cool-cool _
| AndreAlaRae chapter 1 . 6/22/2004
Found it again! Yes! _ And the fic is just as good as it was the first time i read it! I do bow down to your writing style and wish that you could write more LoK slash!Specially my fav. pairing of Kain/Raz! It don't help that i've played Defiance as of late and that game just don't help with all those goddamn slash undertones! Specially the end _~...i did cry tho...*sniffle* Anyhow,Yer good at writing so i hope u keep it up!
| Seir chapter 1 . 1/25/2004
Hee, cute, nicely written, as well.
| person chapter 1 . 12/23/2003
well? I LOVE IT! hurry up and update!
| Insanus Caseolus chapter 1 . 11/27/2003
I agree with CrimsonObsession! Their actions do just scream, "SLASH!" at you. After I played Legacy of Kain: Defiance (the newest in the series), it was so obvious. It may not be intended for it to come out like that in the game, but it did! Especially at the ending where... Well I don't want to spoil it for you. Just continue! I'm surprised that there isn't more Kain/Raziel ficcys out there! It's good. _
| Kain-is-my-plushie chapter 1 . 11/16/2003
AW 2 things one *hugs you till ya turn blue* thank you there are so few yummy Razzy/Kain fics out there so I thank you and 2 That was soo cute you much keep going please please?
| Rose chapter 1 . 10/17/2003
Very good KainRazy fanfic, it's worth reading and you should write another LoK fanfic involving a realationship between Kain & Raziel.
| Akira-Jezabel chapter 1 . 9/4/2003
So uh How does a person without a bottom Jaw Kiss? VERY EXTREMLY good And I like your Advertisments Ive read two of those and I like em muchly so
P.S. Make sure to get back to me on how Razzie would kiss **scratches back of head*
| Kia Vail-Kagami chapter 1 . 5/11/2003
Nuhu... fascinating! Razi's such a poor lil creature...
Your writing stylw is great! I hope to read mors such stories from you sometime.
| Shakiazu chapter 1 . 5/6/2003
OH! I love your writing style it is so good. You did not make this to obvious at first and you di dnot go straight to it. Excellent work. And poor Raziel, I cannot blame him for his feelings. And it was to short! sorry I had to mention that, it needs to be made longer. Ok I am done now. - Keep up the great work.
| Redrum chapter 1 . 4/5/2003
Hmm.. I don't think it is possible to kiss someone without a jaw.
Poor Raziel.. he can be so sad sometimes. When I first saw a picture of Raziel without the cover on it was kind of creepy. But looking closer at him he looked frail without it on. More fragile then when he hides himself behind the piece of material.
| Deionarra chapter 1 . 3/1/2003
.yeah, there's not much else to say. ;) Poor beautiful Raz.
| Learned chapter 1 . 2/18/2003
Nice, too short
| CrimsonObsession chapter 1 . 1/9/2003
Wow. Just when I'd given up on the Soul Reaver fandom...
This is probably the first Kain/Raziel fic I've read that actually takes place IN Soul Reaver. Why is that? From the moment I first saw Kain and Raziel's interaction, my mind was screaming 'SLASH!' It seems so obvious, and yet very few bother to do it. Sure, there's Kain/Raziel fics taking place back before Raz's demise, but where's the fun in that! I need ANGST!
Which brings me back to your fic. Angst indeed _. Much angsty goodness! The power struggle between them is delicious, and the language you used is very poetic. This is definitely the best quality LoK fic I've read so far. Thank you for giving me some hope for the fandom, and please, GIVE ME MORE with MORE FICCAGE! I read your GW fic, which was intriguing but only seems to be started so far ;_;. (Write more of that too!) Unfortunately, I've never seen much of the FF games, but if I had I'd read your other fics, heh. I might anyway _.
Must shut up, review too long. If you do decide to review me in return (you certainly don't have to!) I'd like it if you read my story Vindication, as that's my best one. If you haven't seen Invader Zim, I tried to make it understandable anyway, and you might learn to like the show, which is the best thing on television, hands down!
I shut up now. WRITE MORE! [goes poof]
| AndreAla chapter 1 . 12/29/2002
Loved it man ;o) Very interestin, a lil bizzare! But hey! The LoK series itself is a lil bizzare, wicked, weird, different... but that is the way i like it _. Keep up the good work, i look forward to reading more of yer work(...that is if u do any other of course lol)

- From: "Scott A Jensen" <SAJ5(--nospam--at)inel.gov>

My understanding is that you must design the anchorage (supports) for a least 5,000 lbs. However, no specific factor of safety is required by OSHA. Lifelines that allow free fall distances greater than 2 feet must be capable "of sustaining a minimum tensile load of 5,000 lbs". The words minimum tensile imply that failure is the criteria. Therefore, the anchorage is okay if it doesn't break or yield excessively. In other words, many anchorages will be okay even if the 5,000 loads stresses them all the way to the yield strength. You may have to use lower values if buckling, or instability problems limit the allowable stress. A 1/3 increase is certainly okay for most anchorages for fall protection. Mike Ritter <mritter(--nospam--at)lgt.lg.com> on 10/15/98 01:00:52 PM Please respond to seaint(--nospam--at)seaint.org To: "'seaint(--nospam--at)seaint.org'" <seaint(--nospam--at)seaint.org> cc: (bcc: Scott A Jensen/SAJ5/LMITCO/INEEL/US) Subject: RE: Fall Protection I did some anchorage calcs for a fall protection system about a year ago. Mine was a window washing system tie-off. If I remember correctly, the trick was to try to get an "engineered system" to meet the OSHA requirements, which would produce a force less than 5000 pounds. These "engineered systems" consist of springs and other devices that absorb some of the energy from the falling person. The system we used was quite expensive, but I have noticed that even Unistrut now has an engineered fall protection system available. They might be able to help reduce the force you need to design for. In my case, I ran a few side calcs and realized that a 200 pound person falling from a structure can easily produce the 5000 pound force. But both the structure and the falling individual would be better off if the force was substantially reduced. I used the recommendations from the system manufacturer and designed for only about 2,000 or 2,500 pounds, without any 1/3 stress increase in the allowables.

Current Projects
The core business of the MDFRC is the generation of new scientific knowledge to support effective management of the Basin's ecology. This knowledge is generated through long-term strategic research, short-term tactical research, synthesis of the best available science, monitoring and evaluation and knowledge exchange activities to promote adoption and active involvement in the management of the freshwater assets of the Basin.
Do consecutive watering events improve lignum condition and response to environmental water?Tangled Lignum (Duma florulenta (Meisn.) T. M. Schust; formerly known as Muehlenbeckia florulenta Meisn.), hereafter referred to as Lignum, is a shrub that dominates large areas of arid floodplain in Australia and provides important structural habitat for birds, fish and other wildlife. Lignum condition is strongly affected by soil moisture and is highly dependent on flooding regimes. Therefore, changes in flooding regimes, particularly in the Murray–Darling Basin, threaten the survival of Lignum plants. The delivery of environmental water can assist in helping to restore the condition of these important floodplain plants and their associated communities. Understanding how and when to deliver environmental water to optimise Lignum condition is important for their ongoing survival.
2015/16 Understanding the functional role of habitat structure to predation on Southern Pygmy PerchThe Southern pygmy perch (Nannoperca australis) is a small-bodied fish species that historically was widely distributed throughout the Murray and lower Murrumbidgee systems. The species has experienced dramatic declines in range and abundance over the least twenty years and is now listed as endangered in NSW and South Australia.

Your Vote is Your Voice
We sit on the brink of an election and by now you've heard it all. A few years ago, Diddy said, "Vote or Die" and Rev. Jesse Jackson rhymed, "take your soul to the poll."
Catchy slogans and sayings are used every election to rally the troops.
However slogans don't vote, we do! More crucial than ever before is the need for the youth vote. It's important that the youth voice is represented at the ballot box.
Growing up, I would always heard "vote because of Martin, Malcolm, and Rosa." As much as I respect their legacy, their voices are silent today. We have to pick up the
baton, march to the ballot, and raise our voices by raising our vote.
The average voter in Detroit is a 68-year-old black grandmother. We need a new generation of 18 and 28-year-old, civically engaged people who will affect the course of history, by pushing our cities and communities forward. Youth need to be engaged in social issues/politics more than ever before. We must make a decision to be more
informed than entertained.
The top-down approach doesn't remedy everything, it's the caring, concerned, and compassionate people on the bottom who can lift us up.
The bottom-up and middle-out approach can and will push us to the next level. What are you passionate about? What
change would you like to see in your community? Let that be the driving force that propels you to the polls.
Look around...we've got a lot of work to do, when black males are the minority in America but the majority in prison, people are underserved, economically disenfranchised, homeless, and jobless. More and more it seems like America is becoming the Divided States of America, lacking unity.
In your opinion, who will best represent the underserved, middle class, and voiceless people? Who has a better plan to revitalize our economy and move our country forward? Is it President Barack Obama or Mitt Romney? I encourage you to think critically, make a sound decision, and vote for the best person to lead us forward these
next four years.
After we vote we must keep working, because the government is not the panacea for all ills. No superhero is coming to save us. We are the supermen and superwomen that we've been looking to find. We can revitalize the broken system of education and government, we can revitalize and revolutionize our schools, churches, and communities.
The ball is in your court, don't let anybody steal or block your opportunity. Let your voice be heard. If you have to vote absentee, it's better than being an absent voter on election day. Get out and vote, because when you don't vote, it's a vote for the candidate you don't want in office. You can pray all day for the right person to get in, but if you don't get out and vote it doesn't matter. Oh and one last slogan, "A voteless people is a hopeless people." Let's make it a November to remember, raise your voice by raising your vote!
Eddie Connor
Change Your Focus
"What's on your mind?" is a question that we've all heard over and over again.
Whatever is ON your mind, is a direct reflection of what you've allowed to grow IN your
mind. Are your thoughts positive or negative? When negative thoughts come to your
mind, what do you do?
Our thoughts are seeds that will either produce a harvest of positive production or
weeds of negative circumstance. Your mind is the battleground that will embrace fear or
faith. What you're thinking has everything to do with where you're going. To move
forward into your future you have to let go of your past, but it begins with a renewed
mind in your present situation.
What you feed your mind today, will grow in your life tomorrow. When your mind is
positive, the darkness around you can never dim the light within you. Stop focusing on
what you don't have...your weaknesses, deficiencies, or what other people possess.
Start focusing on what you do have and use it. You have power within you that you
haven't tapped into yet. You have a rich reservoir of resilience on the inside, discover it
and maximize every moment!
You will continue to get what you DON'T want, if you keep focusing on what you DON'T
want. What you choose to focus on will dictate your happiness. Your mind is the gauge
that will imprison you or free you for your future.
Start planting positive seeds in your mind. There's greatness within you and this is the
time to birth it. When you look through the lens of purpose and vision, your life will no
longer be blurry and misdirected. A changed mind brings about a change in focus and
ultimately a changed life!
Eddie Connor
Committed To WIN!
The saying goes, "practice makes perfect." Is that really true, if you're practicing the wrong way? If you practice shooting free throws with an incorrect shooting form, it's likely that you'll miss the majority of your shots. You will just become good at shooting the wrong way.
What are you shooting towards? What is your aim in life? Are you missing the mark or are you hitting the bulls eye? We must discipline ourselves and even do what is uncomfortable, to develop good fundamentals and perfect our lives. Practice doesn't make perfect, only perfect practice makes perfect.
The same rules apply to life. In order to attain victory and cross the finish line of our vision it takes focus, consistency, determination, faith, and self-motivation. It's going to take discipline and commitment to perfect the ability, that you already possess within. We must become comfortable with being uncomfortable and become uncomfortable with being comfortable.
Nothing worth working for will always come easy, but the rewards come by stepping out on faith and taking a risk. Our tomorrow's will NOT be brighter until our today's become better. We must tap into the power of self-improvement and actualize our potential.
Nothing can ever defeat a committed will to win!
Throughout the course of a day, how much time do you waste thinking negative? We must rid our minds of "stinking thinking." Your life is a byproduct of your thoughts. If you want to change your direction, change your thinking. Expand your mind and expand your life. You can't live any better than your mindset. You can never live beyond or above what you're thinking about. Your mind is designed to raise you above your circumstance, not bring you below it.
How much time will you waste this week, thinking and speaking negative? If you keep doing things the same way you've been doing them, I guarantee you'll get the same results. Think differently, live differently, and your situation will turn out differently.
A committed mind and an undying will to overcome, amidst the obstacles, will always emerge triumphant. Be committed to WIN in life! Be committed to unlocking the greatness in YOU!
Live Through Dying Places
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! It's a reminder that we can overcome obstacles and live through dying places. All of us have been affected by cancer, whether directly or indirectly. We must encourage our loved one's/friends, to schedule their Doctor's appointments and increase their awareness about various forms of cancer.
The saying goes, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." We must be more proactive than reactive. It's very important that we examine ways in which to improve our lifestyles, eating habits, level of fitness, relationships, and overall personal development.
Every second in America, 2-3 people are diagnosed with cancer. Those are startling statistics, yet harsh realities. Cancer is no respecter of age, race, gender, or economic standing. A diagnosis is not a death sentence and the bright side is that there are 2.5 million breast cancer survivors, living in the United States.
How do you respond to the interruptions of life? How do you deal with hardship and life's challenges? These are the same questions I asked myself, being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at the age of 15. For nearly 2 years, I endured chemotherapy and radiation, 5 days a week. The physical pain was unbearable with hair loss, nausea, spinal taps, etc. Oftentimes the psychological pain took an even greater toll, where I wanted to give up and die.
I was in the fight of my life, but I decided to resurrect faith in the midst of fear. I was at death's door, but I was determined to live. To overcome I had to change my mindset from negative to positive and see the impossible as I'm possible. I had to see the word "CAN" in CANcer, that in spite of what I'm enduring I CAN make it and I CAN overcome...so CAN YOU!
You're reading the words of a 14-year-survivor of stage 4 CANcer! By God's grace and healing power, I am alive today. I have overcome and continue to live through dying places. YOU CAN too!
Whatever the situation you're facing, look at the pain and resurrect power in the midst of it. Resurrect a smile in the midst of sadness. Resurrect a mindset to overcome the odds. Shake yourself free from every breakdown and transform it into a breakthrough...you can LIVE through DYING places!
Hold On To Hope
What do you do when your back is against the wall and you've run out of options? So many people have thrown in the towel and given up. We can look around us and see problems in the community, high unemployment, economic difficulties, violence, injustice, and a feeling of hopelessness.
BREAKING NEWS...this is every day life! Will you be a change agent for the world, orwill you be changed by the world? Too many of us are EXISTING and not enough of us are LIVING. Being physically alive and mentally/spiritually asleep, means you're just existing. When you decide to shake yourself from your past, low self-esteem, hopelessness, depression, and negative experiences is when you begin to really live! You've got untapped power within you to LIVE through DYING places.
You're reading the words of a man, who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer as a teenager. Through faith and hope, I decided to fight and walk in healing. I know what it's like to feel hopeless and mentally distraught. I know what it feels like to have people give up on you, walk out of your life, and leave you for dead because they didn't thinkyou would ever make it out of that situation.
I've got news for you...even though people may have given up on you, God didn't! Pick yourself up, rise out of the ashes, and take back your life. God didn't bring you this far to leave you. When the storms of life are raging, know that you have an anchor that will keep you afloat when everything around you is sinking.
Be encouraged, be strengthened, be motivated, and be determined. It may be rainy, stormy, and cloudy in your life, but don't lose hope...the SON is still shining! You're coming out of the storm, stronger than when you went in...Hold On To Hope!
Eddie Connor
Sunday Inspire: Grow Through It!
You've heard the popular saying, "what doesn't kill you should make you stronger." I like to say if it doesn't kill you, then use it to build you. Oftentimes, the greatest moments of strength occur at our weakest moments of hopelessness and despair. It's true that we don't realize how strong we are, until being strong is our only option.
In life you will either be an eagle or a chicken, warrior or worrier, a champion or a chump! Which one are you? Many times who we become is predicated on who we surround ourselves with daily. Are the people around you adding to you or subtracting from you? Are they helping you grow through or are they putting you through drama, mental angst, and unnecessary stress? Put your circle of friends and family under the microscope, to separate the contenders from the pretenders.
Everybody around you is not for you, some people are blocking you...let them go so you can grow. It's better to be alone than in the company of bad people. Negative people stunt your growth, positive people enhance your growth. Surround yourself with people who motivate you to be a better you! Everyone who you're connected to does not intend to give. I'm convinced that some people in your life, should've had a starring role in the 2010 film "Takers" because they lack the desire and capacity to GIVE.
There is no growth without change. It hurts to make change, that's why it's called "growing pains." You will either experience the pain of discipline or the pain of consequence.
Some people GO through and stay in the situation...it's when you GROW through that you come out! You know you're growing, when the situation that should have made you BITTER ultimately made you BETTER.
There's more life to live, there's more dreams to transform into reality, there's more love to embrace amidst hardship, and there's more healing to experience in spite of pain! Whatever you're experiencing, be the rose that grows through the concrete and blossom into the greatness that God has for you! Grow Through It!
Eddie Connor
Sunday Inspire with Eddie Connor
Back From A Setback!
I'm reminded of a quote which declares, "you never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only option." There is strength within you that you haven't used yet, because the situation hasn't presented itself to unveil that level of strength. The power and strength that you have on the inside, can propel you beyond what you're facing on the outside. Everybody in this life will face challenges and endure struggle. On the contrary, it's not only about what you go through, it's how you handle what you go through. It takes volition and an undying will to endure the storm, dark clouds, rain, and trying times of life. Never forget that the greater the obstacle, the greater the opportunity. This is not the time to breakdown, this is your time to breakthrough! The bigger your battle, the bigger your blessing! No matter how great the odds are against you or how people have written you off, don't give up!
Don't let a setback, set you back...bounce back! Eliminate negative self-talk, because what you say to yourself has a greater impact on you than what people say to you. I was diagnosed with cancer at the age of fifteen, but through prayer, faith, and an unwavering will to live I pressed my way towards healing. I'm blessed to be alive and write these words to empower you today. Don't fail to recognize that a setback is only a setup for a comeback. Your struggle may not be cancer or a health related illness, it may be bitterness, it may be depression, or it may be a family member who conspired against you. Whatever it is, overcome it and bounce back from it!

Koh Kood is among the most beautiful islands in Thailand. The picturesque tropical landscape and beaches are gorgeous. This is a highly recommend destination for your itinerary if you plan to spend your holiday in Thailand.
The large mountainous island of Koh Kood is set to the south of Ko Maak and Ko Chang. The interior of the island remains largely covered by jungle. The southern and western coasts are dotted with excellent white-sand beaches, some of them so beautiful that they have an other-worldly appearance. The waters surrounding the Koh Kood Island are crystal clear turquoise.
The transportation on the island is made on a good all-weather sealed road running from Ao Yai in the south to Ao Salad in the north. You can reach almost all of the accommodation by road.
