			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Doing donation is certainly a good deed that everyone needs to do. It is not just to share something with the needy but also to earn merit from god. There are a lot ways we can do to do donation. We can donate our food, clothes, money, service or even <a href="http://www.donateacar2charity.com/">donate car</a>. DonateaCar2Charity is one site that accepts our car donation. DonateaCar2Charity is a non-profit organization which dedicates to the needy by sharing God&#8217;s words with others. </p>
<p>Why does the organization receive <a href="https://www.donateacar2charity.com/donate.php">car donation</a>? In doing the mission that is sharing the God&#8217;s words, the organization need means of transportation to reach those who live in remote places. In addition, the car is also use to transport to goods or the missionaries of Gospel to go to targeted places. The missionaries even do not restrict themselves only to reach the places in America continent. They go beyond it by reaching out far away places in Africa, India, or any other part of the world.<br />
<span id="more-425"></span><br />
Realizing that the work of the missionaries is so noble and extra ordinary, giving them support is not exaggerating. It is urgent to realize that there are a lot of people out there who need our help. However, we do not need to be there to help. We can contribute our help to them through donating a car. </p>
<p>It is in fact not only DonateaCar2Charity that organizes <a href="http://www.donateacar2charity.com/">vehicle donations</a>. There are some other organizations that do so. So, we have to be careful to choose which organization really does the charity to the needy with our donation. To avoid doing donation to the irresponsible organization, we can browse around the net to collect information about it. After all, DonateaCar2Charity is the most recommended organization as it is transparent in processing all car donations it receives and report the accountability to us afterward.   </p>

Lyrics:

This is a song of hope for the Palestinians in Gaza, composed and performed by Michael Heart 

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they&#8217;re dead or alive
They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in [...]

A blinding flash of white light</p>
<p>Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight</p>

<p>They came with their tanks and their planes</p>

<p>Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze</p>
<p>We will not go down</p>
<p>In the night, without a fight</p>
<p>You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools</p>
<p>But our spirit will never die</p>
<p>We will not go down</p>
<p>In Gaza tonight</p>
<p>Women and children alike</p>
<p>Murdered and massacred night after night</p>
<p>While the so-called leaders of countries afar</p>
<p>Debated on who&#8217;s wrong or right</p>
<p>But their powerless words were in vain</p>
<p>And the bombs fell down like acid rain</p>
<p>But through the tears and the blood and the pain</p>
<p>You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze</p>
<p>We will not go down</p>
<p>In the night, without a fight</p>
<p>You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools</p>
<p>But our spirit will never die</p>
<p>We will not go down</p>
<p>In Gaza tonight</p>
<p>We will not go down</p>
<p>In the night, without a fight</p>
<p>You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools</p>
<p>But our spirit will never die</p>
<p>We will not go down</p>
<p>In the night, without a fight</p>
<p>We will not go down</p>
<p>In Gaza tonight </center><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Various lists of the Wonders of the World have been compiled over the ages to catalogue the most spectacular man-made constructions and natural things in the world.</p>
<p>The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is the first known list of the most remarkable man-made creations of classical antiquity, and was based on guide-books popular among Hellenic sight-seers and only includes works located around the Mediterranean rim. The number seven was chosen because the Greeks believed it to be the representation of perfection and plenty.[1] Many similar lists have been made, including lists for the Medieval World and the Modern World.<br />
<span id="more-335"></span><br />
The historian Herodotus (484 BC-ca. 425 BC), and the scholar Collimates of Cymene (ca 305-240 BC) at the Museum of Alexandria, made early lists of &#8220;Seven wonders&#8221; but their writings have not survived, except as references. The seven wonders included:</p>
<ul>
* Great Pyramid of Gaza<br />
* Hanging Gardens of Babylon<br />
* Statue of Zeus at Olympia<br />
* Temple of Artemis at Ephesus<br />
* Mausoleum of at Massillon Halicarnassus<br />
* Colossus of Rhodes<br />
* Lighthouse of Alexandria
</ul>
<p>The earliest lists had the Sitar Gate as the seventh wonder of the world instead of the Lighthouse of Alexandria.<br />
The Greek category was not &#8220;Wonders&#8221; but &#8220;traumata&#8221; which translates closer to &#8220;miracles&#8221;. The list that we know today was compiled in the Middle Ages-by which time many of the sites were no longer in existence. Today, the only ancient world wonder that still exists is the Great Pyramid of Gaze.</p>
<p><strong>Wonders of the Medieval World</strong><br />
Many lists of &#8220;wonders of the world&#8221; are said to have existed during the Middle Ages, although it is unlikely that these lists originated at that time because the word medieval was not even invented until the Enlightenment-era, and the concept of a &#8220;Middle Age&#8221; did not become popular until the 16th century. Brewer&#8217;s refers to them as &#8220;later list[s]&#8220;[2] suggesting the lists were created after the middle Ages.</p>
<p>Many of the structures on these lists were built much earlier than the Medieval Ages, but were well known.[3] These lists go by names such as &#8220;Wonders of the Middle Ages&#8221; (implying no specific limitation to seven), &#8220;Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages&#8221;, &#8220;Medieval Mind&#8221; and &#8220;Architectural Wonders of the Middle Ages&#8221;.<br />
Typically representative of the seven greatest wonders of the Medieval world are:[3][4][5][2]</p>
<ul>
* Stonehenge<br />
* Coliseums<br />
* Catacombs of Kim el Sonata<br />
* Great Wall of China<br />
* Porcelain Tower of Naming<br />
* Hagias Sophia<br />
* Leaning Tower of Pisa<br />
Other sites included on such lists:<br />
* Tag Mohall [6]<br />
* Cairo Citadel [7]<br />
* Ely Cathedral [8]<br />
* CUNY Abbey [9]
</ul>

<p>Thousands of children who survived Myanmar&#8217;s cyclone will starve to death in two to three weeks unless food is rushed to them, an aid agency warned Sunday as an increasingly angry international community pleaded for approval to mount an all-out relief effort.</p>
<p>The United Nations said Myanmar&#8217;s isolationist ruling generals were even forbidding the import of communications equipment, hampering already difficult contact among relief agencies.</p>
<p>A U.N. report said Saturday that emergency relief from the international community had reached an estimated 500,000 people. But the junta insists it will handle distribution to victims of<br />
Cyclone Nargis.</p>
<p>U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he was sending U.N. humanitarian chief John Holmes to Myanmar this weekend. Myanmar&#8217;s leader, Senior Gen. Than Shwe, has refused to take Ban&#8217;s telephone calls and has not answered two letters. Holmes will be carrying a third, U.N. spokesman Michele Montas said in New York.</p>
<p>Holmes was expected to arrive Sunday evening in Myanmar&#8217;s largest city, Yangon, said Amanda Pitt, a U.N. spokeswoman in Bangkok, the capital of neighboring Thailand.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s going at the request of the secretary-general to find out what&#8217;s really going on the ground, to get a much better picture of how the response is going and &#8230; to see how much we can help them scale up this response,&#8221; Pitt said. Details of the visit, she said, were still being worked out.</p>
<p>The U.N. report said all communications equipment used by foreign agencies must be purchased through Myanmar&#8217;s Ministry of Posts and Communications &#8211; with a maximum of 10 telephones per agency &#8211; for US$1,500 each. Importing equipment is not allowed.</p>
<p>State-run radio said the government has so far spent 20 billion kyat (about US$2 million) for relief work and has received millions of dollars (euros) worth of relief supplies from local and international donors. It said the government was distributing assistance promptly and efficiently to the affected areas.</p>
<p>State radio on Sunday also said the government was providing &#8220;full health services&#8221; to the victims, saying that except for the &#8220;usual diseases&#8221; there were no epidemic outbreaks.</p>
<p>Aid agencies were not convinced, and international outrage mounted over Myanmar&#8217;s handling of the crisis.<br />

<p>Save the Children, a global aid agency, said Sunday that thousands of young children face starvation without quick food aid.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are extremely worried that many children in the affected areas are now suffering from severe acute malnourishment, the most serious level of hunger,&#8221; said Jasmine Whitbread, who heads the agency&#8217;s operation in Britain. &#8220;When people reach this stage, they can die in a matter of days.&#8221;</p>
<p>Britain&#8217;s prime minister accused authorities in the country, also known as Burma, of preventing foreign aid from reaching victims and said the military regime cares more about its own survival than its people&#8217;s welfare.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is inhuman,&#8221; Gordon Brown told the British Broadcasting Corp.</p>
<p>In one town near Yangon, tired and hungry refugees stood in the baking sun beside flooded rice paddies, demolished monasteries and thatched huts. With the arrival of each vehicle carrying precious food and water, they jumped with excitement and surged ahead to get a share.</p>
<p>At least they were getting something.</p>
<p>&#8220;The farther you go, the worse the situation,&#8221; said an overwhelmed doctor in the town of Twante, just southwest of Yangon, Myanmar&#8217;s main city. &#8220;Near Yangon, people are getting a<br />
lot of help and it&#8217;s still bad. In the remote delta villages, we don&#8217;t even want to imagine.&#8221; The doctor declined to give her name, fearing government reprisal.</p>
<p>The government flew 60 diplomats and U.S. officials in helicopters to three places in the Irrawaddy delta, the hardest- hit area, on Saturday to show them progress in the relief effort.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was a show,&#8221; Shari Villarosa, the top U.S. diplomat in Myanmar, told The Associated Press by telephone after returning to Yangon. &#8220;That&#8217;s what they wanted us to see.&#8221;</p>
<p>A French navy ship that arrived Saturday off Myanmar&#8217;s shores loaded with food, medicines and fresh water &#8211; a potentially lifesaving cargo &#8211; was given the now-familiar red light. France&#8217;s U.N. ambassador, Jean-Maurice Ripert, called it &#8220;nonsense.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We have small boats, which could allow us to go through the delta to most of the regions where no one has accessed yet,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We have small helicopters to drop food, and we have doctors.&#8221;</p>
<p>The USS Essex, an amphibious assault ship, and its battle group also have been waiting to join the relief effort. U.S. Marine flights to Yangon from their makeshift headquarters in Utapao, Thailand, continued Saturday &#8211; bringing the total to 227,000 kilograms of aid delivered &#8211; but<br />
negotiations to allow helicopters to fly directly to the disaster zone were stalled.</p>
<p>Myanmar&#8217;s state-run television, which has repeatedly broadcast footage of generals reassuring refugees calmly sitting in clean tents, announced Friday that the cyclone death toll had nearly doubled to 78,000 with about 56,000 still missing. Aid groups say even those estimates are low.</p>
<p>The International Red Cross says the death toll alone is probably about 128,000, with many more deaths possible from disease and starvation unless help gets quickly to some 2.5 million survivors.</p>
<p>But seeing that the help gets to the victims does not appear to be a top priority for Myanmar&#8217;s rulers. The military, which took power in a 1962 coup, has even barred foreigners from traveling outside of Yangon, putting up a security cordon around the city.</p>
<p>Myanmar has been slightly more open to aid from its neighbors, accepting Thai and Indian medical teams, which arrived Saturday. The 32-member Thai team was expected to travel to the delta in the coming days, said Dr. Surachet Satitniramai, director of Thailand&#8217;s National Medical Emergency Services Institute.</p>
<p>The Indian team consists of 50 doctors and paramedics from the Army Medical Corp., said Indian Air Force spokesman Wing Cmdr. Manish Gandhi. He could not immediately say if they would be allowed to go to the delta. (**) </p>

Many houses have literally been blown apart by Cyclone Nargis which hit the region on 2 May at wind speeds of up to 190 kilometres per hour. </p>
<p><a href='http://bucksfreak.com/?attachment_id=42' rel='attachment wp-att-42' title='myanmar1.JPG'><img src='http://bucksfreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/myanmar1.JPG' alt='myanmar1.JPG' /></a>The cyclone has passed but that does not mean that the rain has not stopped. The International Federation estimates that up to 1 million people have lost their homes and have to spend their days and nights under open skies and has made emergency shelter one of its priorities. However it will still take a couple of days befor many areas can be reached. </p>

Up to 10,000 people are feared to have died in this town alone. </p>
