The Wee Yellow Butterfly

Product Information

Old or ‘stale’ blood has a browner colour than fresh blood and can result from any of the causes of red urine listed above. 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. The project demonstrated that children living in damp homes had significantly more respiratory problems, sore throats, vomiting, diarrhoea, headaches, other pains, and other symptoms than children living in dry homes. Both adults and children in damp homes had more emotional problems than those in dry homes. Children and adults in damp houses with fungal mould had significantly poorer health than those in damp houses without mould. Crucially, whether or not a tenant’s house was damp depended on which street it was in and where it was located relative to the prevailing weather, suggesting that tenant’s behaviour was not the cause of the damp housing.

At the first AJGL meeting of 2008, under the Chairmanship of Fleming Gibson (Caprington), on Tuesday 5th February, the draws were made for the 2008 Ayrshire Junior Golf League competitions. 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'.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). Rhabdomyolysis – muscle breakdown due to excessive exercise, dehydration and trauma to muscles. It can also be caused by some illicit drugs, seizures and inherited medical conditions. TL; DR/VERDICT/SHORT ANSWER: Sure, you can. You can also hit yourself with a hammer or chew gum that’s lost its flavor. You are the captain of your own destiny. Choose wisely. Should I Pee On This Jellyfish Sting? What About This Patch of Athlete’s Foot? 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.

After the medal was presented to Michael Stewart, County Secretary Leslie Crawford announced the 2007 trophy winners. Producing urine is one of the mechanisms our body uses to get rid of waste. The kidneys remove toxins and waste products from circulating blood and then dissolve them in water to create urine.The winning Scottish Boys Area Team Championship team - Euan Brown, Cameron Gray, David Currie & Michael Stewart. 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.

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. There are numerous causes of red or pink urine from something you have eaten through to infections and cancers. If you notice red urine without an obvious cause, then you should always see your nurse or doctor. 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. 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. Dr Juliet McGrattan explores why urine might turn all the colours of the rainbow, and what it indicates about our underlying health.

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.

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. Cathy was a close personal and family friend, so I have written this brief tribute to her with great personal sadness and ongoing grief but also with deep gratitude and joy for having had the privilege of Cathy sharing part of her life and work with me and for being a mentor, ally, inspiration and colleague as well as critical friend. 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. 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.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. Urine’s characteristic sunny hue comes primarily from a substance called urobilin. When your body is properly hydrated, the urobilin is diluted with plenty of water, and your pee is a nice, normal buttercup color. Amber or ale-colored urine is a reliable sign of dehydration, and clear pee is a signal that it’s time to put down the Nalgene. No matter what supermodels say, remember: It is possible to drink too much water. 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.
