The Wee Yellow Butterfly

Product Information

Over many decades, Cathy countered by emphasising the incomparably more vicious socio-structural, political, ideological, psychological and epistemological violence, the war without bullets or briefcase war, being waged on the people of Easterhouse (and others elsewhere deemed surplus to the requirements of neoliberal capitalism). This violence was delivered not by using fists, baseball bats and knives – but by development and deployment of policies and practices which manufactured unemployment, inequality, material poverty, socio-economic apartheid, oppression in abandoned ghetto-townships and ‘social-scientific’ practices and associated knowledges in the form of individualistic intra-psychic interventions, psychiatric snake-oil remedies etc. and problematic ‘knowledges’ whose only outcome was to position what was going wrong as the fault of those on whom the war was being waged. Because urine is clearing waste from the blood which has circulated right around the body, a change in urine colour can indicate a problem in various organs and systems.

Some people have their reasons. (You’d have to, right?) In a life-or-death situation, with no potable water, imbibing your own wee may keep you alive longer, but don’t make it a habit. Remember the garbage metaphor? Because urine is a waste product, each cycle through your body adds a new batch of toxins, so after a while, drinking the stuff would do you more harm than good. Kidney or bladder stones which scrape the delicate lining of the bladder, ureters or kidneys as they try to pass through the system This delightful story will strike a chord with many, adults and children alike – the desire to be free, close to nature, and enjoying a life of adventure.

The study in which Cathy was involved had a sample of 597 local authority households but the researchers estimated that between a quarter and a third of all council housing in Scotland was actually subject to dampness at the time of this research. Without a praxis dimension, scholarship and research within the academy is, within a critical frame of reference, often little more than ideologically problematic self-indulgence, going through taken-for-granted motions and playing of Glass Bead Games. Popular activism can be deeply problematic ideologically too, however, and when ideologically progressive is often sidelined, ignored or silenced by merciless epistemological violence. Activists and scholars can both benefit from being ‘critical friends’ to each other, each offering the other: critique, solidarity, care and staunch comradeship in the face of persistent hostility from a range of interests and each deploying complementary skills in community-action-work and emancipatory-knowledge-work. Cathy was one of my key critical friends and, I hope, I was one of hers. The first edition of the guide, at the turn of the 21st century, was published as a distinctive A5 glossy bound book, a format that has been retained to this day. Subsequent editions have been vastly expanded, with shops, bars, nightclubs, restaurants, visitor centres, transport, museums and art galleries all represented. The current guide design now has a distinctive yellow cover and is referred to as 'The Wee Yellow Book'.

From Cuisheadar however, thing got bleak. The most noticeable thing about the walk is that, after Cuisheadar, the path disappears. Secondly, the "waymarkers" also seem to disappear; being painted green and yellow (the same colour as the moor). What followed was a very arduous bog slog over some of the worst moorland I have ever walked (I've walked a lot). Despite careful inspection of the terrain, I fell waist deep in deep bogs at least twice; the second time loosing one of my walking poles.

Success!

After the medal was presented to Michael Stewart, County Secretary Leslie Crawford announced the 2007 trophy winners. A number of eminent figures travelled to Stirling to contribute to the series including Professor Marie Jahoda, who had been a repository and relayer of international research into psychological aspects unemployment since her seminal participatory investigation of the unemployed community of Marienthal, near Vienna, in the early 1930s. Other contributors included Professor Adrian Sinfield, eminent professor of social policy at Edinburgh University who had studied and written extensively about unemployment for decades and Jeremy Seabrook, an English author and journalist who had received acclaim for his insightful, sympathetic and politically sophisticated writing about unemployed people. Before you could speak, you could pee. Before you learned to write your own name, you could pee. (And if you grew up in a particularly snowy part of the world, you may have combined these skills.) Urination is a taboo subject, a daily miracle, an essential bodily function, and a complete mystery to most people who do it. This is by no means the end of the story though. The tenant activists had agreed to maximise participation in the study, something the researchers could do little about, if in return, the researchers agreed to remain committed to promoting the interests of the tenants beyond academic publication of the findings. Accordingly, the research was reported in local newspapers, on local radio and television; it was used to stimulate concern in the housing department, the environmental health department, the regional council, the community health council, legal centres and by the housing charity, Shelter. The research was cited in court cases by tenants; by the Scottish Grand Committee in the UK Houses of Parliament and the Minister of State for Housing in Scotland; by the Housing Department in applying to the Scottish Office for extra funding; by local forums of GPs, local councillors and tenants to bring about action. Urine can be a very pale, almost white colour if you have drunk large quantities of water and the urine is very diluted. Cloudy urine can also appear a milky white and this might happen due to:

Heather Marcovitch received her PhD in English in Victorian Literature from the University of Florida. She teaches Victorian literature, children’s literature, literary theory, and essay writing at Red Deer Polytechnic in Alberta, Canada, where her research focuses on the writing and culture of the late Victorian period in England, especially as it pertains to The Yellow Book and the Bodley Head publishing company. She is the author of The Art of the Pose: Oscar Wilde’s Performance Theory, the co-editor of two books on television studies, and of articles on late Victorian and modernist writers, on The Yellow Book and on the afterlives of Oscar Wilde. She is currently under contract with MacFarland Press to write a companion volume to Oscar Wilde’s writings. Her essay on Ella D’Arcy will be published in Cahiers victoriens et edouardiens this spring. Her current research focuses on George Egerton’s relationship to John Lane and she is developing a longer project about secular Judaism, literature, and the Victorian fin de siècle. Only if you want to make it worse and/or spend the day smelling like pee for no reason. Urine may be sterile, but it does not have magical healing properties. It’s as effective as clean water (which is fairly ineffective) for treating athlete’s foot, and can fire up the jellyfish stingers that burned your skin in the first place. Other pee drinkers believe their habit lengthens their lifespan. Practitioners of “urotherapy” claim that consuming your own urine can cure acne, weight problems, and even cancer. The American Cancer Society does not agree.Any vitamin that’s mixing with your pee is a water-soluble vitamin, and any amount of it that your body doesn’t need simply gets excreted through the urine.” Urine always looks yellow but if it suddenly appears a very bright neon colour, then it may be due to consuming B vitamin supplements, particularly vitamin B12. B vitamins are water soluble so you ‘pee out’ any excess that your body hasn’t used. White urine

Urine travels from the kidneys along tubes called the ureters and into the bladder where it is stored, ready to be expelled when the ‘need to pee’ strikes. Urine is made up of around 90 to 95 per cent water.

Wondering what the colour of your urine means? If we pay any attention at all when we have a wee, we usually expect to see urine of various shades of yellow. It’s easy to understand why suddenly passing green, red or even blue urine might be alarming. Green is a more unusual and more startling colour for urine. It’s usually temporary and due to a simple reason but it can be linked to infections: In a veritable orgy of sustained victim-blaming, the people living in Easterhouse were widely positioned by many journalists, politicians and even public health professionals as responsible for their own misery, morbidity and mortality and Easterhouse was stigmatised as a community characterised by profound intra-community violence. Michael was nominated for the award by The Scottish Golf Union after an excellent 2007 season which saw him reach the semi final of the Scottish Boys Championship, lose in a play off for the Scottish Boys Strokeplay title and represent his country in venues as far afield as Wales, Denmark & China. Perhaps his finest moment of the year was holing the winning putt for Great Britain and Ireland in the match against Europe for the Jaques Leglise Trophy at Notts Golf Club.
