Defining words is hard, no matter what they are, but the difficulty only doubles when the word in question is a purely visual referent like color. How do you define blue? Or red, or green, or—God forbid—pink? Well, Webster's Third New International Dictionary has this to say about teal duck, sense two, which transcends its origin as waterfowl: “a dark greenish blue that is bluer and duller than average teal, averaging teal blue, drake, or duckling.” Elegant. Fun, even, for a dictionary, whose defining characteristic is kind of to be dull as dust—which raises the question of how and why some of these colorful definitions came to be. That's the subject of lexicographer Kory Stamper's new book, True Color: The Strange and Spectacular Quest to Define Color–from Azure to Zinc Pink, which takes her from the pink and buff archives of Merriam-Webster's offices to the warring color standards of the early 20th century, from the glossy pages of the Sears & Roebuck catalog to the trenches of World War I.

From bellringing to beekeeping - Author Helen Bain talks about the highly detailed research she conducted for the writing of her The Daffodil Days, inspired by Ted Hughes and Sylvia Pllath's year in North Tawton in Devon in 1962, and on why she has told the story in reverse, through the observations of the locals who came into contact with them at the time. Hue & Cry, who first made their name in the mid 80s and who won the Outstanding Contribution prize at last year's Scottish Music Awards, are back with a new single, a 16th studio album and a UK tour. We speak to brothers Pat & Greg Kane about their four decades in the music business, and about fusing acoustic and synth technologies and the duo perform one of their biggest hits in the Front Row studio. At the height of the AIDS crisis in the 1990s, American photographer Catherine Opie honoured members of the gay community with portraits inspired by court artist Hans Holbein. Since then she's become known as an "all-American subversive" for her groundbreaking depictions of queer America. A retrospective of her work - To Be Seen - which also features a new commission of a portrait of Sir Elton John and his family - has opened at the National Portrait Gallery in London and she joins us live to talk about it. Plus the Artistic Director of Edinburgh's Royal Lyceum Theatre, James Brining, and The Scotsman's theatre critic, Joyce McMillan, discuss the theatre's decision not to let critics from UK-wide media in to review the world premiere of the new stage production One Day, adapted from David Nicholls' bestselling book.

Hue and Cry #RTTBROS #NightlightEphesians 5:11 - "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."In twelfth century England, they didn't have police departments like we do today. When a crime was committed, the whole community was responsible for dealing with it. If you witnessed a robbery or an assault, you couldn't just walk away and mind your own business. The law required you to raise what they called "hue and cry.""Hue" comes from the Old French word meaning "to shout out," and that's exactly what you were supposed to do. You'd yell and make as much noise as possible to alert everyone in the area that something was wrong. Then the whole community would come running to help catch the criminal and deal with the situation. It was their early warning system, and it only worked if people were willing to speak up when they saw evil happening.Now, I know we live in different times, and we've got law enforcement to handle most of these situations today. But I can't help thinking about how this old medieval law applies to our spiritual lives. As Christians, we're part of a community, and we have a responsibility to each other when we see spiritual danger approaching.Too often, we see a brother or sister heading down a destructive path, and we just stay quiet. We don't want to be judgmental, we don't want to interfere, we don't want to make waves. But Paul tells us we're not supposed to have fellowship with works of darkness, we're supposed to reprove them. Sometimes love requires us to raise a holy "hue and cry."Now, I'm not talking about being self-righteous or gossipy. I'm not talking about pointing fingers at every little fault we notice in others. But when someone we care about is in real spiritual danger, when they're making choices that could destroy their testimony or their family or their walk with God, sometimes the most loving thing we can do is raise our voice.It takes courage to speak up. It's risky to get involved. But in medieval England, if you saw a crime and didn't raise hue and cry, you could be held partly responsible for the consequences. Friend, I wonder if the same principle applies to us when we see spiritual crime taking place and stay silent.The goal isn't to embarrass anyone or tear them down. The goal is to alert the community so help can come, so restoration can happen, so the damage can be stopped before it spreads.Prayer: Lord, give me wisdom to know when to speak up and courage to do it in love when I see spiritual danger threatening those I care about.

Shakespeare uses the phrase, “Hue and cry” twice in his plays. Once in Henry IV Part 1and again inMerry Wives of Windsor. In the Middle Ages, this phrase represented acivilian peacekeeping effort that remained officially on the books in England until the19thcentury. Amounting, on an extremely basic level, to what those in the US mayrecognize as a “citizen's arrest,” hue and cry allowed the average person to performpolicing duties in the face of witnessing a crime. Hue and Cry remained active as apunitive measure for Shakespeare's lifetime and here today to explain for us exactlywhat it means to “raise and hue and cry” in both legal and practical terms, as well aswho was allowed to use this method of civic policing, along with why and when it wasuseful, is our guest, Samatha Sagui Get bonus episodes on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 20, 2024 is: hue and cry HYOO-und-KRYE noun Hue and cry refers to a clamor of alarm or protest in response to something. It can also be used as a synonym of hubbub to refer to general noise or uproar. // After the popular professor was fired by the college, there was such a hue and cry from students that the administration was forced to reconsider its decision. See the entry > Examples: “Bedazzled by the lucrative allures of STEM and the popularity of business degrees, universities have been defunding their humanities programs and transforming themselves into vocational training centers with five-star gyms. … The hue and cry over this benighted movement, in which institutions of higher learning are turning their backs on their fundamental mission, will likely not be enough to stop the forces operating under the cover of budgetary necessity.” — Charles McNulty, The Los Angeles Times, 24 Aug. 2023 Did you know? Let's say it's the Middle Ages in England and a villainous highwayman has just made off with your purse of gold. What do you do? You can't call the police, because in medieval England there is no organized police force, much less telephones; indeed, 911 is even less than a joke in your town—it doesn't exist! Instead, the job of fighting crime belongs to ordinary citizens. The first step is to raise a stink—victims of or witnesses to a crime are expected to yell something like “stop thief!” so that anyone who hears the “hue and cry” will be legally bound to join in the pursuit of the perfidious pilferer. Fast-forwarding to today, although hue and cry (hue comes from an Old French word meaning “noise” or “outcry”; cry comes from the synonymous Anglo-French cri) was used in legal contexts upon entering English in the 15th century, it now more often refers to general alarm, complaint, or protest.
Greg Kane from the Scottish band, Hue and Cry, was the first guest on the Celeb Savant podcast. On this episode, Greg is joined by his brother Pat. We discuss the band's 40-year history in the music world, and how they are celebrating this milestone - which includes over 2 million records sold, and being presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Scottish Music Awards.

For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali spoke to Greg and Pat Kane, better known as Scottish musical legends Hue And Cry, to hear all about their 40th anniversary celebrations which will be happening throughout 2024. As part of those celebrations they are releasing demos and rarities every month, as well as producing a documentary and other archival material, before undertaking a full-band tour later in the year. The two talk about what it feels like to be making music together for four decades and the ups and downs along the way, how it all began, the surprises thrown up from their archive, their relationship with the music press, how they work together, the unforgettable memories, as well as explaining that it's always been a family affair - and there's so much more... They also discuss who they listen to and admire among the up-and-coming Scottish musicians, and why they think the country's music scene is in a healthy state, something which should be celebrated far and wide - an attitude with which SWH! agrees heartily. This was a really special conversation with a band of brothers who have proven to be not only survivors, but thrivers, and you get the feeling that in their 40th year they feel they are just getting started.

Noel catches up with Greg Kane, who is one half of the Scottish brotherly duo, Hue and Cry. Their biggest hit was 1987's "Labor of Love." The song was featured on the soundtrack for the video game Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City. The duo took a break following their 1999 album and reunited thanks to the tv show, "Hit Me Baby One More Time." Since then, they have released six albums with a seventh currently in production.
Gang Busters was an American dramatic radio program aired from January 15, 1936 to November 27, 1957 on NBC. The show, one of the earliest crime shows on radio, was created by actor-producer Phillips Lord. Each episode began with loud sound effects like gun fires and tire screeches, which led to the catch phrase "come on like Gang Busters." And then, at the end of each episode were the description of each criminal captured and some information on those who were still on the loose. During its entire run, hundreds of criminals were brought to justice, courtesy of the Gang Busters.

Seth Siegel is a writer, lawyer, activist, serial entrepreneur, and an acclaimed public speaker. You might have read his "Troubled Water" book - and if you haven't, you should - or his international best-seller "Let there be Water," translated into 20 languages. If you recall the first episode of Season 2 of this podcast, Elango Thevar, the CEO and founder of Neer, explained how the decisive kick to start his entrepreneurial adventure was reading Seth Siegel's book: Troubled Water, what's wrong with what we drink. Ever since, whenever I ask my guests what book was and still is influential in their water endeavors, both Troubled Water and Let there be Water regularly come on top! So when I got to meet Seth at the Rethinking Water conference recently organized by Sciens Water in New York, I thought he might have one golden nugget or two to share with all of us. And indeed, he even had a bit more, as you'll swiftly notice. So without further due, I'll let you dive into that conversation, but not without reminding you that if you like what you hear, I'd be thankful if you share it with your friends, colleagues, or LinkedIn network. Because that's the only way, I can further grow this podcast and convince speakers like Seth to further stop by my microphone and share their insights with all of us. So please, do it, and I'll meet you on the other side. Seth Siegel: 50'000+ U S Water Utilities, 500 Water Talks, 5 Decisive Truths?

For our final episode of Season 1, we are back in 1987 to visit the songwriting duo 'Hue and Cry' and their debut album 'Seduced and Abandoned'. Brothers Patrick and Greg Kane were raised in the Scottish town of Coatbridge and were just 22 and 20 years of age respectively when the LP was released on the 1st of November 1987. We take a deep dive in to their journey to unlikely top 10 hitmakers, review the album in detail with a track by track analysis, and find out what's happened to the brothers' post late 80's fame. We set the scene before discussing all things Hue and Cry by visiting the month of November in 1987 which is a scary 35 years ago years ago as this episode is released in 2022! Chatting about what was happening in our own lives, we also review the top ten album and single charts in the UK, populated by the likes of Billy Idol, George Harrison, Rick Astley, Bronski Beat, U2 and The Bee Gees. The top 10 UK box office movies included some great films starring the likes of Sean Connery, Jack Nicholson, Bette Midler, Eddie Murphy, Susan Sarandon, and Cher. We conclude the episode and the season by reviewing Roling Stones Magazine's top 10 songs of all time which not surprisingly features The Beatles; but which position did their sole entry in to the top 10 finish and which song was it?

Derek and Kieran are joined by brothers Pat and Greg Kane from the wonderful Hue and Cry. They formed Hue and Cry in 1983 and the duo made a huge impact in the late 80's with the albums ‘Seduced and Abandoned' and ‘Remote' as well as massive hit singles such as ‘Labour of Love.' Albums like ‘Stars Crash Down' and ‘Jazz Not Jazz' ensured Hue and Cry's continued triumph in the 1990's, whilst the release of the hugely applauded ‘Open Soul' in 2008 brought them firmly back into the limelight. The release of their seasonal album ‘Xmasday' (2009) and live album ‘Bitter Suite Again' (2010), preceded the release of ‘Hot Wire' (2012) which received rave reviews. To date Hue and Cry have sold in excess of two million records worldwide.

This episode is dedicated to Franco Bolelli.Since it's the year of our lord 2020, it was only inevitable that we'd talk about pandemics on History Impossible.What follows is an exploration of not just a pandemic and not just the most physically destructive pandemic in all of human history. What follows is an exploration of what a pandemic actually does. And by "does," we're talking about what it does to the human body, the human mind, and the wider social psychology of societies themselves, and of course, the historical consequences that result.The 1918 H1N1 Influenza A pandemic--better known as the "Spanish flu"--is known as a lot of things. A bizarre historical footnote that no one wanted to discuss. A force of nature more destructive than the Great War itself, rivaled only by the Second World War. And according to a small handful of medical historians, sociologists, and economists, quite possibly the reason for how things in that so-called "War to End All Wars" turned out and thus, everything that happened afterward.These are all things that will be covered and more, as the impossible case is laid that the Spanish flu was not just the secret fuel that powered the monumental tragedies of the 20th century, but gives us insight into the very thing that could eventually act as the fuel for the tragedies for the 21st.Special thanks to Vinny Andreotti, Sergey Cheremisinov, and Molly Pan & Eric Guillen for their incredible musical skills.History Impossible has been made possible by the following generous supporters on Patreon and PayPal:Elias BorotaMatthew DakusGavin EdwardsPeter HauckDevin HrehaMike KalninsBenjamin LeeTyler Livingston Jose MartinezMike MaylebenJudy McCoidKostas MorosMolly PanJake PetersenJohn PisanoEdmund PlamowskiBrian PritzlPJ RaderMark ReedAlison SaloSamEmily SchmidtSteve UhlerRicky Worthey

"My book is about an extremely consequential 12-month period in American history, and also in the history of my family and my own maturation. Being 11 and 12 is a very interesting time of life, when you, for the first time, begin to establish your frame of reference for the world outside of your experience at home. And, in my case, it was a discovery of history as an inescapable current. We were all writing. These were dangerous years."

The music business is in meltdown - and professional musicians are having to re-assess everything about how they sustain their livelihoods. If people simply won't pay £15 for a CD from the high street, what will they pay for? Recorded music is tending towards being ubiquitous and free(ish), but live music is tending towards high prices for a unique experience.

This seminar tells the story of that journey, which might (or might not) end up happily ever after...
