Go Aish Adventure Park
Karachi, one of the world’s most happening metropolitan cities, with a teeming population of around 20 million, is still devoid of the one big factor, or rather desperately lacks in one vital area which makes life not only better life but also provides respite to the living from stress, strains and the rigors of busy living entertainment.
Go Aish is a company which specializes in providing quality and exceptional amusement & adventure services. Go Aish has a working collaboration with Lanove Centrum (Project Outdoors), a world renowned Czech Republic based company specializing in providing amusement/adventure services around all of Europe.
Go Aish has established an adventure park which is not only the first of its kind within our metropolis but the first of its nature in the Middle East & Sub-Continent. Keeping in view of exceptional working standards and required safety measures, proficient experts were hired from abroad for the construction of this project. Furthermore, upon completion an International Certificate of Standard has been provided for each activity installed at this project.
top priority for U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, after the war on terrorism, is improving protections for children online.
Kevin Poulsen, an editor at Wired News, described a project he undertook to match names in the Federal government’s list of convicted sex offenders with names of people with MySpace pages. His careful, multi-month effort identified over 700 matches, some of whom were and calling them obviously sexual names. Poulsen was critical of MySpace for only now attempting similar efforts on its own. He believes the service could do dramatically more to police its content using software tools.
The Net and children: still scary
NEW YORK (Fortune) — Despite all its virtues, the Internet has created a raft of new threats to our children. Sexual predators and abusive pedophiles are newly empowered by the Net, and neither parents nor society have yet figured out how to respond. However bad you think the problems are, they’re probably worse.
Those were some conclusions of a panel of experts on children and the Net that I moderated last week at the RSA Security conference in San Francisco. RSA assembled an impressive group, including a pediatrician expert in child abuse, a top prosecutor from the Department of Justice, a reporter who uncovered shocking facts about social networking phenomenon MySpace, and the chief privacy officer of Facebook
Dr. Sharon Cooper, who runs a group called Developmental and Forensic Pediatrics, spoke about sexual predators who target children on social networks. Cooper says these astonishingly cyber-savvy criminals are typically spend about six months in online dialogue with children before suggesting they meet in person. “When someone is instant-messaging a child all the time and saying things like ‘I was waiting for you to come home from school,’ it’s really easy for kids to start to think that this really is their friend,” she says. Cooper says all parents should insist on seeing their children’s MySpace or Facebook page. “Any kind of monitoring is a good thing,” she says.
She applauds MySpace for releasing software which will enable parents to determine if someone using their Internet connection is a member. It also will reveal the screen name of such users as well as the age they claim to be. MySpace rules prohibit members under 14, but many kids disregard this and simply lie. At least with the new software parents will know they’re doing so.
Among my daughter’s friends in Manhattan, there were several who, when they were 12 and 13, had MySpace profiles claiming they were 16 or 18. At least one showed a photo of herself in her bra, not far from the name of her school. Such behavior is, sadly, not unusual, according to Cooper and others on the panel.
Drew Oosterbaan, chief of the child exploitation and obscenity section of the DOJ, has additional concerns. “Overnight the Internet changed everything,” he says, “because the pedophiles learned they were not alone.” He says the Net has emboldened many of them to act in ways even more awful than before. “The Net has created communities of people — including both those who like old cars and those who like child pornography,” he explains.
But to gain credibility in such groups, he says, “there’s the incentive to create images of new types of abuse.” So younger and younger children are being abused in more and more depraved ways, and being photographed or video taped. Oosterbaan explained that by far the greatest risk of abuse for children still comes, as it always has, from people they know personally. Those hiding-in-plain-site predators are the ones being influenced and goaded on by these new Internet communities.
The prosecutor appealed to techies to help law enforcement officials come up with better ways to monitor and track aberrant behavior. He applauded efforts in Congress to push for software that searches online images so police can be alerted when illegal content is found. He said that the
