The winning Scottish Boys Area Team Championship team - Euan Brown, Cameron Gray, David Currie & Michael Stewart.

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

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.” 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. 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.

TL; DR/VERDICT/SHORT ANSWER: A) urobilin! B) Lay off the beets! C) If your diet is beet-free, see a doctor. Is It True That You Can Drink Your Urine? B vitamins are water-soluble, so any excess gets released through the urine. Because vitamin B2 (riboflavin) has a fluorescent hue, the excess, when mixed with the urine, can produce that neon yellow color. Other B vitamins, including B9 (folic acid) and B12, have a similar effect. Should you stop taking vitamins if you have neon yellow urine?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. Dr Juliet McGrattan explores why urine might turn all the colours of the rainbow, and what it indicates about our underlying health. 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.
