About this deal

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. Have you eaten a lot of borscht recently? You may be suffering from beeturia, which is the technical term for peeing red or pink after eating a lot of beets. I am not making this up. Ingesting enormous quantities of strawberries or rhubarb can produce the same effect.

No, bright yellow urine doesn’t mean that you’re not absorbing your vitamins. 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. That means your body is taking in what it needs. The guest list included Scottish Golf Union President John Somerville along with Presidents, Vice Presidents and Secretaries of the five other West Of Scotland County Associations, sponsor Alan Harrington, a number of club captains and the two guest speakers, Joe camay & Kenny Clark. David G Pullar’s story is the children’s version of The Yellow on the Broom, an autobiography written by his great-grandmother nearly 100 years ago, and a tale that brought to light the pleasant (and not so pleasant) experiences of a Traveller’s life. The challenges that the family encounters because of their culture and lifestyle raise issues that are as relevant today as they were in the first quarter of the 20th century. 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. 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:

Golf Open Days

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! 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. 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. Cathy finished her formal education at the age of 15, leaving school against her wishes at her parents’ insistence (her financial contribution was essential to keep the family’s head above water). Cathy lived most of her adult life unemployed in Easterhouse, a township of 60,000 people, thrown up outside Glasgow to accommodate the tenants of demolished tenements in inner city areas of Glasgow. When Cathy moved into Easterhouse, it was characterised by astronomical unemployment, dire relative and absolute poverty, catastrophically low levels of health, damp fungal spore infested housing, absent community infrastructure and rudimentary public transport. 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.

After the medal was presented to Michael Stewart, County Secretary Leslie Crawford announced the 2007 trophy winners.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. Old or ‘stale’ blood has a browner colour than fresh blood and can result from any of the causes of red urine listed above.

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. Sarah Parker is a Lecturer in English at Loughborough University. She is the author of The Lesbian Muse and Poetic Identity, 1889–1930 (Routledge, 2013) and Michael Field: Decadent Moderns (co-edited with Ana Parejo Vadillo, Ohio University Press, 2019). She has published several articles and book chapters on poets including Amy Levy, H.D., Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Olive Custance.TL; DR/VERDICT/SHORT ANSWER: Peeing is awesome and necessary. Also, kidneys. Why Is My Pee Always Yellow? (And What If It Isn’t?) 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.” 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.

Let’s part the underpants-shaped veil surrounding urination information. Let’s learn about peeing. What Is Peeing, and How Does It Work?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. 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. 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.
