The Wee Yellow Butterfly

Product Information

The piss prophets probably gave this answer away, but yes, technically, you can, since urine is generally bacteria-free and nontoxic. The real question is “Why would you?” Are you on a new medication? The pharmaceutical additive methylene blue can turn your urine a startling blue or green. Eating too much asparagus or food coloring (I’m looking at you, festive green beer) can also cause verdant pee. Orange urine may be medication- or vitamin-related, or you may have forgotten that carrot feast last night. There’s a fruit or vegetable to blame for nearly every color of the urine rainbow. The Wee Yellow Book, considered by many to be the golfing bible for Scottish golfers who take part in open competitions, is now available on line. 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.

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: Finally, here, Cathy and her fellow activists continued the struggle to the point of organising a weekend competition in which teams of interdisciplinary technical experts, but crucially chaired by tenants, were tasked to design affordable interventions to prevent dampness and fungal spore infestation in a sample of Easterhouse houses (which did not include Cathy’s house). The competition winner was titled Retrofit Solar Improvement of Thermally Inefficient or Substandard Housing. Cathy and her activist colleagues applied for and obtained a promise of funding from the European Commission if a substantial local government contribution was made. Despite severe, sustained, opposition, Cathy and her activist colleagues obtained the required commitments and a demonstration project was implemented. Evaluation of the implemented project showed it simultaneously: eliminated dampness and fungal spore infestation; greatly reduced poverty by huge fuel savings; much improved mental and physical health; and massively reduced carbon dioxide emissions.

About us

The presentation concluded with the presentation of the Scottish Boys Area Team Championship Trophy, won by the ayrshire team of Euan Brown, Michael Stewart, David Currie and Cameron Gray at Forres, the winning team being joined by team manager Ian Walker who also received a special medal to mark his contribution to the team success. 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. This dampness intervention, alone, would be a huge legacy but I want to briefly write about the activist/scholar praxis to which Cathy and I were committed and which, in our case, consisted in bringing together activism, critical reflection (not criticising but rather reflection within a frame of reference indebted to critical social theory) and academic power/knowledge work (within the Foucauldian tradition).

Cathy and I met properly getting on for four decades ago. I had moved from Sheffield in England (where I had been doing research into the poor mental and physical health of many unemployed people and what was responsible for it to Stirling University in Scotland to take up a lecturing position in the psychology department. I had applied for and received funding from the British Psychological Society to run a series of seminar-workshops about unemployment and mental health. 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. The Entertainment Guide prided itself on getting to the heart of the matter, dispensing practical advice and opening its readers' eyes to the wealth of great attractions, restaurants, hotels and bars that would otherwise have passed them by. The first edition of the guide filled a glaring gap in the market, and unsurprisingly spawned a slew of imitators, most of which have since fallen by the wayside. 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.I managed to reach "the road to nowhere" and met my nearest and dearest at precisely 4pm at the "Traigh beag" carpark in the middle of a downpour. 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. I was let out of the car at the Sgiogarstaidh road end by my dear wife at 12.30pm on what appeared to be a short break in the weather. Within 30 minutes I arrived at Bonny Cuisheadair which, despite the "Western Isles Walking Guide's" assurance that it was full of ruins, turned out to be quite well cared for with well maintained huts some of them surrounded by mown grass and planters. Some wag had also placed a sign warning the unsuspecting walker of koala bears!

The yellow colour of urine comes largely from the presence of urobilin, also known as urochrome. Urobilin, which is yellow, is produced as the body breaks down old red blood cells that are no longer needed.Again, orange urine can indicate that you need to drink more fluid or you’ve eaten something orange but it may be due to other more serious problems: TL; DR/VERDICT/SHORT ANSWER: Peeing is awesome and necessary. Also, kidneys. Why Is My Pee Always Yellow? (And What If It Isn’t?)
