Even if one missing child is found, it will be so worth it.

The parents of Madeleine McCann have added their support to a new scheme for locating missing children through social networking websites such as Facebook. The charity Missing Persons has created an application for Facebook users which allows the display of the details of missing young people on their own profile page. And the charity is also joining Be Cause, an internet site run by social networking site Bebo which provides information about campaign groups and other charities linked with children who have gone missing.

Kate and Gerry McCann, whose four-year-old daughter Madeleine disappeared from the Mark Warner holiday complex in Praia da Luz, Portugal more than a year ago, said they strongly supported the new social networking initiatives.

“We… encourage this new initiative to use Facebook to increase awareness of missing children,” a statement from the couple said. “Using the power of social media in this way will undoubtedly capture the attention – and hopefully the help – of a younger population who are a hugely valuable and resourceful group.”We would urge the millions of Facebook users around the world to keep looking and to do what they can to help bring these children home.”

Missing People is launching the scheme to coincide with today’s International Missing Children’s Day.

Paul Tuohy, chief executive of the charity, explained: “If every Facebook user downloaded our BT-powered application, millions of people internationally could see an appeal that could help us to reunite a family.”

Other missing children highlighted on Sunday include that of Andrew Gosden, 14, who was last seen at London’s King’s Cross railway station in September 2007, and 15-year-old Paige Gosden, who disappeared in Blackpool last year.
Edit: AndrewT2, i suggest you take a walk, a long walk, to cool your head. You accuse the McCanns of murdering their Madeleine without an ounce of evidence to back your accusation. IF the PJ have such evidence, then a fair trial will bring justice where it is due. Till such time, it would make a lot of sense to not indulge in slander & libel, for your own good. I don’t waste my time indulging in spin & perverting the course of justice. Give justice & a fair trial a chance & let the Truth prevail.

MicroWorld focuses on new generation e-security threats with its new product eScan Web and Mail Filter for Windows

Do you think your anti-virus software is all that you require for protecting your system from cyber criminals? Is it all that you need to prevent your machine from becoming a spam producing mill? Is it all that protects your children from obscene material, prevents your employees from degrading their performance by using Internet unproductively, protecting your personal/private documents from any modifications or unauthorized access, killing your precious bandwidth through pop up Ads and securing you against Spywares? The answer to these questions is a big NO.

The anti-virus software simply protects your system against viruses, worms and trojans but the cyber criminals have become so intelligent today that they know how to circumvent through the security policies and attack the systems with other types of tools. If you have an anti-virus software in place and think that you are secured from all potential Internet threats, you need to rethink…..as your children may fall into pornographic loop, your bank details may be stolen and the productivity of your organization may go down the drain. So, what is the solution???

The recently launched product from MicroWorld, eScan Web and Mail Filter for Windows, protects your system on a real time basis against threats like:

Unsecured content, Spam, Pornography, Unproductive use of Internet, Spyware, Pop Up Advertisements etc.

The product has been developed to run efficiently with any antivirus software you might already have on your system.

“This product has been developed keeping into consideration the security requirement of our users who already have an anti-virus in place but are vulnerable to other new potential e-threats”, said Mr. Govind Rammurthy, CEO and MD, MicroWorld. “People already having an anti-virus installed on their systems if want to secure themselves from other potential e-threats also usually do not find software which can gel with their existing anti-virus and provide them a good security. Considering this requirement of our users we have launched this new product in the market which we expect would get phenomenal response”, he futher says.

The submission of this assignment must appraise the role and influence of religion to the current situation of abortion.
I have chosen an article from oct 08 that explains the bill reform. Here is the article;

12 October, 2008
Catholic opposition to the Victorian Government’s Abortion Law Reform Bill intensified Australia-wide this week as the controversial legislation moved towards a vote in the Victorian parliament – a clear confrontation between a State government and the Church.

In response to a Day of Prayer, to defeat the bill, called by the Archbishop of Melbourne, Archbishop Denis Hart, thousands of pro-life supporters packed Melbourne’s St Patrick’s Cathedral last Sunday, with the legislation, having been passed in the Victorian legislative assembly, due to be debated in the upper house

Archbishop Hart, in a rare presentation to the Australian media, vowed to defy the new law if it came into being: Catholic health care workers would not comply with the so-called reforms.

Catholic Health Australia’s chief executive, Martin Laverty, declared the bill would deprive Catholic health services of the ability to act in accordance with conscience.

The new laws tabled would give women open access to abortion up to 24 weeks into pregnancy.

And women in the later stages of pregnancy could also qualify, at a doctor’s discretion.

“If it passes, we will be put in an untenable position,” Mr Laverty said.

“The Bill provides a mechanism to remove our right to be different from others…our right to keep providing the Catholic maternity services we’ve offered Victoria since its beginnings. It may be taken away,” he said.

“The bill may breach Victoria’s Charter of Human Rights. It relies on a component in the Charter that exempts its application to abortion law. Legal opinion says the drafters were wrong to do so.

Legal opinion offered to Catholic Health Australia affirms the Bill breaches the Charter.”

“With the Bill mandating some health practitioners to act in contradiction of their conscience, staff in Catholic hospitals may face discrimination at law.

Under the legislation doctors with a conscientious objection to abortion would be required to refer a woman to doctor who didn’t. They would also be obliged to perform abortions in an emergency if necessary to protect the woman’s life.

Archbishop Hart said “I would say we can’t perform and we can’t refer … we have nowhere to go.

“That is a firm, irrevocable position and I believe it is the only position that people of conscience can hold,” the archbishop said.

At one stage in the Day of Prayer vigil thousands from the congregation and others, singing hymns and praying, converged on the steps of the Victorian Parliament where spontaneous speeches were made.

The demonstration closed Melbourne’s Spring St for more than an hour

Faiths represented during the Day of prayer included Melbourne’s Anglican archdiocese, the Uniting Church, Presbyterian Church and Lutheran Church.

Archbishop Hart told the congregation “We are here as brothers and sisters … we testify to the unique value of each human without distinction from conception to natural death.”

Catholic Health Australia represents the 15 Catholic hospitals that operate in Victoria, some of which have done so for more than a century.

Martin Laverty pointed out that over that time those hospitals had always worked in partnership with Victorian government and the Victorian community.

“They are centres of excellence in cancer, cardiovascular, trauma and, of course, also in the maternity care they provide,” he said.

“Our opposition to abortion is clearly known. Our hospitals are an integral part of Victoria’s health system, handling up to one third of births across the state, each year.”

“Catholic health providers contribute significantly to the State’s health system. In turn the system has respected our principles as Catholic providers.

“Given the massive scale of Catholic services in the wider health system, why should this change now?”

Dr Brigid McKenna, policy officer for the Sydney archdiocese’s Life, Marriage and Family Centre, has described the bill as “a terrible anti-life bill” which “would be likely to increase the rate of abortion”’

She added: “If passed, Victorian law will abandon vulnerable unborn human beings and their mothers.

“The law will also fail health care professionals by omitting a no-disadvantage conscientious objection clause for doctors, and compelling nurses to assist in a late term abortion against their conscience.

“Abortion is not ‘an ordinary medical procedure’. It is never therapeutic or healing or caring. Abortion only ever ends a human life and wounds human hearts.

“We should legislate for life, not death.”

The bill to give Victoria the most liberal abortion regime of any state has been supported by the Lower House (47-35 votes), with Premier John Brumby confident
