That's a bit cheap coming from you when you consider that St. John Ambulance (NO S AT THE END OF JOHN), were shafted and still owed money from when you went into administration the other year.

Bye Laws

The Council may apply to the Secretary of State for permission to operate bye laws covering particular activities. These are effectively local laws to deal with local issues.

Failure to comply with bye laws is a criminal offence. In many cases any person contravening a bye law is liable on summary conviction to a fine of an amount not exceeding:

a) level 3 on the standard scale, or
b) such lower amount as is specified in the bye laws,

for each offence.

Bye laws available in paper copy only
These bye laws are available in paper format only:

ISO 14031:1999 first sets out to describe the benefits of EPE and give some idea how to identify an organisation’s most significant interactions with the environment. The cost of implementing EPE can be a hindrance and the abstract nature of both ISO 14001 and ISO 14031 is in some respects seen as a weakness (Tam et. al., 2002). It is necessary, however, in order to make the legislation applicable to all types of situation: from charitable work, to heavy industry; from one building or activity, to a number of sites and circumstances. It is important, too, that a sample is taken as an all-encompassing survey will usually be too costly and long-winded. For example, Papadopoulos and Giama (2007) examine the environmental performance of building insulating materials; in this case the environmental impact of the production of these materials is significant, so this must be considered as well as the environmental impact of the materials when in use.

Of course in such circumstances it would appropriate for the moderators to edit the banned users profile and add a nice avatar as a going away message.

I suggest something either homo-erotic or possibly a nice picture of a Manchester United Legend ?

ADVICE TO PATIENTS WHO SUFFER FROM HAEMORRHOIDS (PILES)

Do NOT strain excessively to pass motions. Straining damages the muscles around your anus as well as promoting piles and bleeding. It is best to stop (even though you have a feeling of fullness in the rectum) and go back to the toilet later.

After a bowel action clean your bottom gently with soft paper or cotton wool. Dab rather than rub. If possible wash your bottom with lukewarm water in a bidet or bath but ensure that you dry the whole area thoroughly.

Take a high residue diet, e.g. wholemeal bread and cereals. The best way to ensure this is to take Natural Bran, which can be obtained from Boots Chemists, Health Food shops and some other food stores, such as Safeway and Sainsburys. Take 3 tablespoonfuls (i.e. large spoonfuls) every day. Natural Bran is very dry and should be taken mixed with or sprinkled over moist foods or fluids. For example, sprinkle 3 tablespoonfuls over your cornflakes and milk or porridge during your breakfast. You should drink plenty of fluids when taking Natural Bran. To supplement your high residue diet, eat wholemeal bread, (e.g. Allinson’s Stoneground) instead of white bread. If you are constipated & the above measures have not helped; in addition take the medication Lactulose (which can be obtained without prescription) up to 10mls (2 teaspoonfuls) 3 times a day.

You may have had your piles "injected" in the clinic. The purpose of this is to "shrink" your piles.

Following the injection, you may have a feeling of slight fullness or discomfort in your bottom lasting about 24 hours or so. To minimise this, if at all possible, you should rest for the remainder of the day, preferably lying down rather than sitting or standing. It may take a few days or sometimes a week for the benefit to become apparent. After injection a few balls of cotton wool are left inside your anus. This does not cause any harm and you will pass them when you have a bowel action.

Until the end of the 19th century, the history of Burkina Faso was dominated by the empire-building Mossi/Mossi Kingdoms, who are believed to have come up to their present location from Northern Ghana, (where there exists the ethnically related Dagomba group). For centuries, the Mossi peasant was both farmer and soldier, and the Mossi people were able to defend their religious beliefs and social structure against forcible attempts to convert them to Islam by Muslims from the northwest.

When the French arrived and claimed the area in 1896, Mossi resistance ended with the capture of their capital at Ouagadougou. In 1919, certain provinces from Côte d'Ivoire were united into the French Upper Volta in the French West Africa federation. In 1932, the new colony was dismembered in a move to economize; it was reconstituted in 1937 as an administrative division called the Upper Coast. After World War II, the Mossi renewed their pressure for separate territorial status and on September 4, 1947, Upper Volta became a French West African territory again in its own right.

A revision in the organization of French Overseas Territories began with the passage of the Basic Law (Loi Cadre) of July 23, 1956. This act was followed by reorganizational measures approved by the French parliament early in 1957 that ensured a large degree of self-government for individual territories. Upper Volta became an autonomous republic in the French community on December 11, 1958.

The Republic of Upper Volta achieved independence on August 5, 1960. The first president, Maurice Yaméogo, was the leader of the Voltaic Democratic Union (UDV). The 1960 constitution provided for election by universal suffrage of a president and a national assembly for 5-year terms. Soon after coming to power, Yaméogo banned all political parties other than the UDV. The government lasted until 1966 when after much unrest-mass demonstrations and strikes by students, labor unions, and civil servants-the military intervened.

The military coup deposed Yaméogo, suspended the constitution, dissolved the National Assembly, and placed Lt. Col. Sangoulé Lamizana at the head of a government of senior army officers. The army remained in power for 4 years, and on June 14, 1970, the Voltans ratified a new constitution that established a 4-year transition period toward complete civilian rule. Lamizana remained in power throughout the 1970s as president of military or mixed civil-military governments. After conflict over the 1970 constitution, a new constitution was written and approved in 1977, and Lamizana was reelected by open elections in 1978.

Lamizana's government faced problems with the country's traditionally powerful trade unions, and on November 25, 1980, Col. Saye Zerbo overthrew President Lamizana in a bloodless coup. Colonel Zerbo established the Military Committee of Recovery for National Progress as the supreme governmental authority, thus eradicating the 1977 constitution.

Colonel Zerbo also encountered resistance from trade unions and was overthrown two years later, on November 7, 1982, by Maj. Dr. Jean-Baptiste Ouédraogo and the Council of Popular Salvation (CSP). The CSP continued to ban political parties and organizations, yet promised a transition to civilian rule and a new constitution.

Factional infighting developed between moderates in the CSP and the radicals, led by Capt. Thomas Sankara, who was appointed prime minister in January 1983. The internal political struggle and Sankara's leftist rhetoric led to his arrest and subsequent efforts to bring about his release, directed by Capt. Blaise Compaoré. This release effort resulted in yet another military coup d'état on August 4, 1983.

After the coup, Sankara formed the National Council for the Revolution (CNR), with himself as president. Sankara also established Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDRs) to "mobilize the masses" and implement the CNR's revolutionary programs. The CNR, whose exact membership remained secret until the end, contained two small intellectual Marxist-Leninist groups. Sankara, Compaore, Capt. Henri Zongo, and Maj. Jean-Baptiste Lingani-all leftist military officers-dominated the regime.

On August 4, 1984, Upper Volta changed its name to Burkina Faso, meaning "the country of honorable people." Sankara, a charismatic leader, sought by word, deed, and example to mobilize the masses and launch a massive bootstrap development movement.

On Christmas Day 1985, tensions with Mali over the mineral-rich Agacher Strip erupted in a war that lasted five days and killed about 100 people. The conflict ended after mediation by President Félix Houphouët-Boigny of Ivory Coast. The conflict is known as the "Christmas war" in Burkina Faso.

Many of the strict austerity measures taken by Sankara met with growing resistance and disagreement. Despite his initial popularity and personal charisma, problems began to surface in the implementation of the revolutionary ideals.

The CDRs, which were formed as popular mass organizations, deteriorated in some areas into gangs of armed thugs and clashed with several trade unions. Tensions over the repressive tactics of the government and its overall direction mounted steadily. On October 15, 1987, Sankara was assassinated in a coup which brought Capt. Blaise Compaoré to power.

Compaoré, Capt. Henri Zongo, and Maj. Jean-Baptiste Boukary Lengani formed the Popular Front (FP), which pledged to continue and pursue the goals of the revolution and to "rectify" Sankara's "deviations" from the original aims. The new government, realizing the need for bourgeois support, tacitly moderated many of Sankara's policies. As part of a much-discussed political "opening" process, several political organizations, three of them non-Marxist, were accepted under an umbrella political organization created in June 1989 by the FP.

Some members of the leftist Organisation pour la Démocratie Populaire/Mouvement du Travail (ODP/MT) were against the admission of non-Marxist groups in the front. On September 18, 1989, while Compaoré was returning from a two-week trip to Asia, Lengani and Zongo were accused of plotting to overthrow the Popular Front. They were arrested and summarily executed the same night. Compaoré reorganized the government, appointed several new ministers, and assumed the portfolio of Minister of Defense and Security. On December 23, 1989, a presidential security detail arrested about 30 civilians and military personnel accused of plotting a coup in collaboration with the Burkinabe external opposition.

Nothing about relations with Niger??
