Assisted Suicide - A UK Perspective

The Suicide Act 1961 states that :

"The rule of law whereby it is a crime for a person to commit suicide is hereby abrogated."

And so is quite clear in setting out that the act of suicide itself is not a crime. It then goes on to say that:-

“1) A person who aids, abets, counsels or procures the suicide of another, or an attempt by another to commit suicide, shall be liable on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for a term not exceeding fourteen years.

2) If on the trial of an indictment for murder or manslaughter it is proved that the accused aided, abetted, counselled or procured the suicide of the person in question, the jury may find him guilty of that offence"

The offence is known as "complicity in suicide". This situation is unusual in law in that there is no other instance in which an accessory can be committing an offence when the principal is not. Assisted Suicide - A UK Perspective - Read Full Story

The Real Value of Free Giveaways

It seems that everyone is clamouring for your attention on the internet these days. Businesses everywhere are offering free reports, free e-books, free newsletters and free downloads to try and keep you as a customer – or even as a potential customer.

Trust is a huge issue in the internet marketplace, and many webpreneurs have realised that they must begin to build a relationship with as many potential customers as they can before they can hope to sell something to them.

Even the most impressive and professional looking sites can be scams underneath, and even some of the testimonials splashed across home pages the world over – complete with photos – can be little more than hot air.

It’s the job of the webpreneur to break through all the special effects, smoke and mirrors to prove to their potential customers that they are who they say they are, and they can be trusted to supply the goods they are promoting in a timely and professional manner.

The Original 1927 Mille Miglia

The history of the Mille Miglia is actually a bit complicated. The original races only ran from 1927 to 1957, the event was then continued as a rally event from '58 to '61, wherein the drivers would stay under the speed limit save for a number of predetermined stretches, but this toned down version of race was discontinued as well. In 1977, the race was revived in the form of, essentially, a parade, as opposed to a fast paced competitive race, and finally, in 1982, the original Mille Miglia was resurrected as a full-tilt endurance race, with cars produced between 1927 and 1957 competing for glory.

Banned Music and Explicit Lyrics

Many histories of banned music begin with the 1950s, though there are a few instances of songs being banned from public airwaves in the U.K. and the United States before that time. The BBC reportedly banned a song in the 1930s because it had sexual connotations. A wonderful piece by Bob Stanley at TimesOnline features the story of Spencer Leigh, a radio DJ who produced a CD of banned songs. In this article, Stanley tells the story of the Dance Music Policy Committee in the U.K. that had a censorship focus before the ‘50s. But instances of music censorship didn’t occur with great frequency until after World War II, with improved technology and an explosion of popular music.
