This sight explains an overview of my position & circumstances that are long awaiting relief. I am requesting public assistance in investigating the abduction of my daughter, 6 year old, Annie Ivy- Lee Aviado. She was abducted by a "cult" like group of pedo & or necrophiles that are imposters in positions of authority in Ontario. The children of the public belong to the public & we all have the legal & innate right to investigate & enforce the Charter section 7., we are a family of human beings. Please provide any factual information regarding these issues & forward to [email protected]. with names, dates, locations and leads on where to locate any possible supporting evidence. Be the police of pedophiles as our most important purpose & possessions beside the environment issues. The authorities appear to have formed a "cult" in "Criminal Breach of Trust" section 336.

    Page 1 of 52 [ Team LiB ] Chapter 1. Introduction to Virtual Worlds KEY TOPICS Some Definitions What They Are and Whence They Came The Past Affects the Future The Basics Influences on Virtual Worlds The Desi ner What are virtual worlds? In this context, a world is an environment that its inhabitants re ard as bein self-contained. It doesn)t have to mean an entire planet: It)s used in the same sense as ,the Roman world, or ,the world of hi h finance., So what about the virtual part? .ot to et too philosophical about it: Real. That which is. Imaginary. That which isn)t. Virtual. That which isn)t, havin the form or effect of that which is. Virtual worlds are places where the ima inary meets the real. [ Team LiB ] [ Team LiB ] Some Definitions Virtual worlds are implemented by a computer /or networ0 of computers1 that simulates an environment. Some2but not all2the entities in this environment act under the direct control of individual people. Because several such people can affect the same environment simultaneously, the world is said to be shared or multi-user. The environment continues to exist and develop internally /at least to some de ree1 even when there are no people interactin with it3 this means it is persistent. Althou h virtual worlds now have many applications beyond that of bein mere entertainment products, they be an as computer ames3 furthermore2perhaps because of the lar e sums of money involved in their creation and the uaranteed hu e monthly incomes they can enerate2computer ames remain at the cuttin ed e of virtual world development.
