Subject: [netsites] ARTICLE: The Doctor is a Serial Killer
The article talks of betrayal of trust, serial homicide of patients is
an
extreme circumstance in which to find the use of that phrase.
Britain's 'Dr. Death' Murdered at Least 215 Patients
By Sinead O'Hanlon
<http://news.findlaw.com/international/s/20020719/crimebritainshipmandc.
html>
MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Britain's "Dr. Death" Harold Shipman
joined the ranks of the world's worst serial killers on Friday when an
official inquiry ruled he had murdered at least 215 patients with heroin
injections.
The inquiry found Shipman killed quietly, coldly and systematically over
23 years, ending the life of patient after patient in a betrayal of
trust
"unparalleled in history."
The family physician, now 56, was jailed for life two and a half years
ago. He was convicted of murdering 15 women, most of them old, but the
full extent of his crimes is only now apparent -- averaging almost a
murder a month for a quarter of a century.
His motives remain a mystery and he refuses to confess.
"Deeply shocking though it is, the bare statement that Shipman has
killed over 200 patients does not fully reflect the enormity of his
crimes,"
Janet Smith, the judge who conducted the inquiry into the killings,
wrote in the report.
"As a general practitioner, Shipman was trusted implicitly by his
patients and their families. He betrayed their trust in a way and to an
extent I
believe is unparalleled in history."

Subject: Remote email access website
I've recently discovered that you can access your home email through a
website called mail2web. The address is: http://www.mail2web.com The
nice thing about this email access is that if you have an existing email
account at home that you're expecting messages through but are away from
home you can access your HOME email by putting your email address and
the
password that you use through your local provider. There is no
registration
for this service.
The messages will appear on the mail2web and you can reply, send email,
etc.
from that location. In addition, when you return home, you can open
your
email account and your messages will also be there. The mail2web
apparently
forwards a carbon copy of your messages to you. The original messages
that
are directed to your home email end up there (as if you'd never seen
them)
and the messages sent to the mail2web account will be deleted. You
still
have your mail but you have access from a distance. The only
disadvantage
is if you delete anything from mail2web, don't think it's also gone from
your home computer. It will also be there waiting for you when you open
your mail.
This is a wonderful website for those of us who do not use hotmail,
yahoo,
or AOL. I have a local provider (Charter Internet) but have not been
able
to access my home email when I was away without directing everyone to my
hotmail account. Now I can use either without having to tell everyone
where
I am or where they need to send things when I'm away.
Just thought you'd like to have an alternative.

This website is from the European Commission
-----------------
Travel and tourism has progressively become a social right which
concerns
all European citizens. However, it is estimated that over 40 million
Europeans do not take holidays. For many some form of disability is
considered to be the main obstacle hindering their access to many of the
existing tourism offers.
Demand for accessible tourism offers is growing in the perspective that
the tourism industry is starting to recognise tourists with disabilities
as an important consumer group.
<snip>
The Commission has as well produced a handbook for the tourism industry
'Making Europe accessible for tourists with disabilities' - prepared in
1996. The publication of this handbook contributes to raising awareness
Europe-wide about the importance of taking disabled tourists into
consideration.
