I want to errect a telegraph pole to use as supports in an agricultural shed. I’m hoping to make the shed about 15′ to 20′ high, in order to get a tractor underneath. How much foundation does it need? How do you build the foundation? And what’s the best way to make sure it’s perfectly vertical? Thanks.

Does emotions paly role in selecting your charity. if so how would you like to relate yourself to a charity?

Which payee takes precedence?
Can charities be made to wait until an asset is sold before being paid out?

I know that Ayers did the bombing when Obama was 8 years old. But, Obama sat on the board of a foundation with Ayers for years and even launched his political career in Ayer’s living room.

Barry, how are you related to Ayers? I know the ecomony is important to be focused on, but to evade your connections to radical elements in society is quite questionable.

How I wish Hillary is the Democratic nominee and not you Barry!
Hey Barry, speak up. Dont just say that were losing sight of the economy. The public wants to know the truth about you and Ayers.

good point ..t…sneaky bstards and all for the sake of £2000 a year

I am going to cycle from london to paris in september. I’m trying to raise £2500 for the Foundation of Conductive Education, which teaches people who have suffered injury or illness such as MS, stroke, parkinsons, head injury etc in both children and adults basic skills to aid their daily lives. Things we mostly take for granted.

The charity is 21 years old this year and is based in Birmingham.

simonjesson

to sponsor me, all monies go directly to the charity, and not to me, keeping everything honest and above board.

I would really appreciate any help….i have my first target to raise £1600 before 21st June 2007.

Please help me to help people less fortunate.

PS: the cycle ride is 285miles over 4 days.

Thank you very much

I am 29. I live in Leicester England. When I was 19 I had been accepted on an Art/Design foundation course, but found out shortly afterwards that I was pregnant so gave up my dream of becoming a High school Art teacher. I am currently supported financially by my partner, & do not qualify for benefits. Would I be able to go back to College & get any financial support from the government to help me do this, as I know that the equipment is very expensive? Also, things have changed a lot in the past 10 years, as far as what qualifications are required to get into this field, so any info will be great. Thank you.

I suffer from a skin condition/auto-immune disorder known as hidradenitis suppurativa (http://hs-foundation.org/) . This was something I’d never heard of prior to diagnosis. It made me wonder who else is suffering from something no one’s ever heard of and what his/her condition is.
Research will never be done on conditions no one has ever heard of. I figure if we gather together and learn something, it’s a step in the right direction.

On that note: I’m not looking for treatments or smart-alec replies.

I want to donate money to an international aid and relief charity. Are international aid and relief charities making a positive difference in the world?

Bile bear
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bile bear or battery bear is the term used for Asiatic black bears kept in captivity in Vietnam and China so that bile may be extracted from them for sale as a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). [1] The bears are also known as moon bears because of the cream-colored crescent moon shape on their chest.[1] The Asiatic black bear, the one most commonly used on bear farms, is listed as vulnerable on the World Conservation Union’s (IUCN’s) Red List of Threatened Animals.

Extraction methods
Latex catheter
In a crude surgical procedure, a latex catheter is implanted into the bear’s abdominal wall and gall bladder, where the bile is stored. This method allows 10 and 20 ml of bile to be tapped from each bear twice daily, but is liable to clogging.
Metal jacket
A rubber catheter drains the bile into a fluid bag attached to the bear via a metal jacket. At up to 10kg in weight, this crude device is locked in place for years at a time, leading to infection, hairloss and painful irritation for the bear.
Metal catheter
Similar to the latex catheter method, the bears are forced to lie flat on the bottom of cage for more effective ‘milking’. Often a metal ‘crush’ forces the bears to remain in the flat position permanently, in some cases for years at a time.
Free Drip
A supposedly more humane method, instead of a catheter, a permanent hole or fistula is punched in the bear’s abdomen and gall bladder, from which bile can freely drip out. This open wound is, unsurprisingly, highly liable to infection.

Living conditions
To facilitate the bile milking process, the bears are commonly kept in cramped extraction cages, also known as crush cages. While this allows for easier access to the abdomen, it also prevents the bears from being able to stand upright, and in some extreme cases, move at all. Living up to twenty-five years in this extreme confinement, results in severe cases of mental stress as well as severe muscle atrophy.[2] The World Society for the Protection of Animals reports that investigators saw bears moaning, banging their heads against their cages, and chewing their own paws. The mortality rate is high. Bears in bile farms suffer from a variety of physical problems which include loss of hair, malnutrition, stunted growth, muscle mass loss and often have teeth and claws extracted.[3] When the bears stop producing bile after a few years, they are usually killed for their meat, fur, paws and gall bladders. Bear paws are considered a delicacy.

Population figures for the Moon bears in China are causing concern, with estimates ranging from 50,000 to as low as 16,000. Some estimates put the total Asia-wide population as low as 25,000.
There are estimated to be 4,000 bile bears in Vietnam, where their bile can sell for 100,000 dong (~ US.25) a millilitre (with 37,500 dong a week regarded as the poverty line for an urban resident), and around 9,000 bile bears in China. The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) conducted a study in 1999 and 2000, and estimates that there are 247 bile-bear farms in China, holding 7,002 bears, [1] though the Chinese government has called the figures "pure speculation." [2]
In July 2000, Animals Asia Foundation, a Hong-Kong based charity, signed an agreement with the Chinese government to remove 500 endangered Moon Bears from the worst bile farms in Sichuan province, and work towards ending the practice. Today, the China Bear Rescue has placed 219 previously farmed Moon Bears at a Sanctuary in Chengdu, and is helping to advance the concept of animal welfare in China.[3]
The Chinese consider bear farms a way to reduce the demand on the wild bear population. Officially 7,600 captive bears are farmed in China. According to Chinese officials, 10,000 wild bears would need to be killed each year to produce as much bile.[4] The government sees farming as a reasonable answer to the loss of wild bears from poaching, and at the same time claim insouciance regarding the cruelty issues that concern Western animal rights activists. However, the government’s agreement to allow the rescue of 500 bears may represent a softening of this stance.[4]

Bile trade
The monetary value of the bile comes from the traditional prescription of bear bile by doctors practising traditional Chinese medicine. Bear bile contains ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), which is believed to reduce fever, protect the liver, improve eyesight, break down gallstones, and act as an anti-inflammatory. The high demand for the bile has led to the introduction of intensive farming of bears. Because only minute amounts are used in traditional Chinese medicine, a total of 500 kg of bear bile is used by practitioners every year, but according to WSPA more than 7,000 kg is being pr

the building is in dubai. how do you go below its foundation without making the situation worse. and if ever you can go below, how to support and anchor the thing. quite interesting. any computations? that would be good

What is the best rate achievable for charity bank account (around £200k)?. I am currently acheiving 3.875% but want to find out whether anyone else can offer a higher rate.

Sivaji The Boss.

Sivaji (Rajinikanth) is a Software Systems Architect who returns home after working hard for many years in USA. With Rs.200 crore budget he wants to setup a charity medical college and hospital. Adiseshan (Suman) is a politically influential businessman who plots his downfall and Sivaji ends up losing all his money. The rest of the movie revolves around how he starts from scratch to get back his money and resume development of his foundation. In the process he realizes the extent of black money trading that goes on and he manages to divert all of that toward charitable development of his State.

I used to work with a colleague who collected the plastic tops from milk bottles on behalf of a charity. He left about a year ago so now I’ve got a years worth of milk bottle tops and don’t know what to do with them.

Does anybody know which charities collect milk bottle tops (or what they do with them)?

We know how patriotic George W Bush is, as are most Americans - but, the 2nd paragraph of the American Declaration of Independence states - QUOTE:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. UNQUOTE

Did he taken the words "ANY FORM OF GOVERNMENT BECOMES DESTRUCTIVE…." literally for invading Iraq in 2003?

I merely offer this to the public before his lawyers do later…;-)
Re gomanyes562 by way of aiding your thought process here - could it be a while wince you read the American Declaration of Independance?

QUOTE : "“THAT WHENEVER ANY FORM OF GOVERNMENT BECOMES DESTRUCTIVE OF THESE ENDS IT IS THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO ALTER OR ABOLISH IT,AND TO INSTITUTE NEW GOVERNMENT….But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security”…
