H, or h, is the eighth letter in the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is aitch (pronounced , plural aitches), or regionally haitch ."H" Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd edition (1989); Merriam- Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged (1993); "aitch" or "haitch", op. cit. ==History== Egyptian hieroglyph fence Proto-Sinaitic ḥaṣr Phoenician Heth Greek Heta Etruscan H Latin H N24 x30px x30px x25pxx20px x20pxx20px x25px x20px The original Semitic letter Heth most likely represented the voiceless pharyngeal fricative (). The form of the letter probably stood for a fence or posts. The Greek Eta 'Η' in archaic Greek alphabets, before coming to represent a long vowel, , still represented a similar sound, the voiceless glottal fricative . In this context, the letter eta is also known as Heta to underline this fact. Thus, in the Old Italic alphabets, the letter Heta of the Euboean alphabet was adopted with its original sound value . While Etruscan and Latin had as a phoneme, almost all Romance languages lost the sound—Romanian later re-borrowed the phoneme from its neighbouring Slavic languages, and Spanish developed a secondary from , before losing it again; various Spanish dialects have developed as an allophone of or in most Spanish-speaking countries, and various dialects of Portuguese use it as an allophone of . 'H' is also used in many spelling systems in digraphs and trigraphs, such as 'ch', which represents in Spanish, Galician, and Old Portuguese; in French and modern Portuguese; in Italian and French. ==Name in English== For most English speakers, the name for the letter is pronounced as and spelled "aitch" or occasionally "eitch". The pronunciation and the associated spelling "haitch" is often considered to be h-adding and is considered non-standard in England. It is, however, a feature of Hiberno-English, and occurs sporadically in various other dialects. The perceived name of the letter affects the choice of indefinite article before initialisms beginning with H: for example "an H-bomb" or "a H-bomb". The pronunciation may be a hypercorrection formed by analogy with the names of the other letters of the alphabet, most of which include the sound they represent.Todd, L. & Hancock I.: "International English Ipod", page 254. Routledge, 1990. The haitch pronunciation of h has spread in England, being used by approximately 24% of English people born since 1982,John C. Wells, Longman Pronunciation Dictionary, page 360, Pearson, Harlow, 2008 and polls continue to show this pronunciation becoming more common among younger native speakers. Despite this increasing number, the pronunciation without the sound is still considered to be standard in England, although the pronunciation with is also attested as a legitimate variant. In Northern Ireland, the pronunciation of the letter has been used as a shibboleth, with Catholics typically pronouncing it with the and Protestants pronouncing the letter without it. Authorities disagree about the history of the letter's name. The Oxford English Dictionary says the original name of the letter was in Latin; this became in Vulgar Latin, passed into English via Old French , and by Middle English was pronounced . The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language derives it from French hache from Latin haca or hic. Anatoly Liberman suggests a conflation of two obsolete orderings of the alphabet, one with H immediately followed by K and the other without any K: reciting the former's ..., H, K, L,... as when reinterpreted for the latter ..., H, L,... would imply a pronunciation for H. ==Use in writing systems== ===English=== In English, occurs as a single-letter grapheme (being either silent or representing the voiceless glottal fricative () and in various digraphs, such as , , , or ), (silent, , , , or ), (), (), (), ( or ), (In many dialects, and have merged). The letter is silent in a syllable rime, as in ah, ohm, dahlia, cheetah, pooh-poohed, as well as in certain other words (mostly of French origin) such as hour, honest, herb (in American but not British English) and vehicle (in certain varieties of English). Initial is often not pronounced in the weak form of some function words including had, has, have, he, her, him, his, and in some varieties of English (including most regional dialects of England and Wales) it is often omitted in all words (see ''-dropping). It was formerly common for an rather than a to be used as the indefinite article before a word beginning with in an unstressed syllable, as in "an historian", but use of a is now more usual (see ). In English, The pronunciation of as /h/ can be analyzed as a voiceless vowel. That is, when the phoneme /h/ precedes a vowel, /h/ may be realized as a voiceless version of the subsequent vowel. For example the word , /hɪt/ is realized as [ɪ̥ɪt]. H is the eighth most frequently used letter in the English language (after S, N, I, O, A, T, and E), with a frequency of about 4.2% in words. When h is placed after certain other consonants, it modifies their pronunciation in various ways, e.g. for ch, gh, ph, sh, and th. ===Other languages=== In the German language, the name of the letter is pronounced . Following a vowel, it often silently indicates that the vowel is long: In the word ('heighten'), the second is mute for most speakers outside of Switzerland. In 1901, a spelling reform eliminated the silent in nearly all instances of in native German words such as thun ('to do') or Thür ('door'). It has been left unchanged in words derived from Greek, such as ('theater') and ('throne'), which continue to be spelled with even after the last German spelling reform. In Spanish and Portuguese, ( in Spanish, in Portuguese) is a silent letter with no pronunciation, as in ('son') and ('Hungarian'). The spelling reflects an earlier pronunciation of the sound . In words where the is derived from a Latin , it is still sometimes pronounced with the value in some regions of Andalusia, Extremadura, Canarias, Cantabria, and the Americas. Some words beginning with or , such as and , were given an initial to avoid confusion between their initial semivowels and the consonants and . This is because and used to be considered variants of and respectively. also appears in the digraph , which represents in Spanish and northern Portugal, and in varieties that have merged both sounds (the latter originally represented by instead), such as most of the Portuguese language and some Spanish dialects, prominently Chilean Spanish. In French, the name of the letter is written as "ache" and pronounced . The French orthography classifies words that begin with this letter in two ways, one of which can affect the pronunciation, even though it is a silent letter either way. The H muet, or "mute" , is considered as though the letter were not there at all, so for example the singular definite article le or la, which is elided to l' before a vowel, elides before an H muet followed by a vowel. For example, le + hébergement becomes l'hébergement ('the accommodation'). The other kind of is called h aspiré ("aspirated ''", though it is not normally aspirated phonetically), and does not allow elision or liaison. For example in le homard ('the lobster') the article le remains unelided, and may be separated from the noun with a bit of a glottal stop. Most words that begin with an H muet come from Latin (honneur, homme) or from Greek through Latin (hécatombe), whereas most words beginning with an H aspiré come from Germanic (harpe, hareng) or non-Indo-European languages (harem, hamac, haricot); in some cases, an orthographic was added to disambiguate the and semivowel pronunciations before the introduction of the distinction between the letters and : huit (from uit, ultimately from Latin octo), huître (from uistre, ultimately from Greek through Latin ostrea). In Italian, has no phonological value. Its most important uses are in the digraphs 'ch' and 'gh' , as well as to differentiate the spellings of certain short words that are homophones, for example some present tense forms of the verb avere ('to have') (such as hanno, 'they have', vs. anno, 'year'), and in short interjections (oh, ehi). Some languages, including Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian use as a breathy voiced glottal fricative , often as an allophone of otherwise voiceless in a voiced environment. In Hungarian, the letter has no fewer than five pronunciations, with three additional uses as a productive and non-productive element of digraphs. The letter h may represent /h/ as in the name of the Székely town Hargita; intervocalically it represents /ɦ/ as in tehén; it represents /x/ in the word doh; it represents /ç/ in ihlet; and it is silent in cseh. As part of a digraph, it represents, in archaic spelling, /t͡ʃ/ with the letter c as in the name Széchenyi; it represents, again, with the letter c, /x/ in pech (which is pronounced [pɛxː]); in certain environments it breaks palatalization of a consonant, as in the name Beöthy which is pronounced [bøːti] (without the intervening h, the name Beöty could be pronounced [bøːc]); and finally, it acts as a silent component of a digraph, as in the name Vargha, pronounced [vɒrgɒ]. In Ukrainian and Belarusian, when written in the Latin alphabet, is also commonly used for , which is otherwise written with the Cyrillic letter . In Irish, is not considered an independent letter, except for a very few non-native words, however placed after a consonant is known as a "séimhiú" and indicates lenition of that consonant; began to replace the original form of a séimhiú, a dot placed above the consonant, after the introduction of typewriters. In most dialects of Polish, both and the digraph always represent . In Basque, during the 20th century it was not used in the orthography of the Basque dialects in Spain but it marked an aspiration in the North-Eastern dialects. During the standardization of Basque in the 1970s, the compromise was reached that h would be accepted if it were the first consonant in a syllable. Hence, herri ("people") and etorri ("to come") were accepted instead of erri (Biscayan) and ethorri (Souletin). Speakers could pronounce the h or not. For the dialects lacking the aspiration, this meant a complication added to the standardized spelling. ===Other systems=== As a phonetic symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), it is used mainly for the so-called aspirations (fricative or trills), and variations of the plain letter are used to represent two sounds: the lowercase form represents the voiceless glottal fricative, and the small capital form represents the voiceless epiglottal fricative (or trill). With a bar, minuscule is used for a voiceless pharyngeal fricative. Specific to the IPA, a hooked is used for a voiced glottal fricative, and a superscript is used to represent aspiration. ==Related characters== ===Descendants and related characters in the Latin alphabet=== *H with diacritics: Ĥ ĥ Ȟ ȟ Ħ ħ Ḩ ḩ Ⱨ ⱨ ẖ ẖ Ḥ ḥ Ḣ ḣ Ḧ ḧ Ḫ ḫ ꞕ Ꜧ ꜧ *IPA-specific symbols related to H: *Superscript IPA symbols related to H: 𐞖 𐞕 *ꟸ: Modifier letter capital H with stroke is used in VoQS to represent faucalized voice. *ᴴ : Modifier letter H is used in the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet *ₕ : Subscript small h was used in the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet prior to its formal standardization in 1902 *ʰ : Modifier letter small h is used in Indo-European studies *ʮ and ʯ : Turned H with fishhook and turned H with fishhook and tail are used in Sino-Tibetanist linguistics *Ƕ ƕ : Latin letter hwair, derived from a ligature of the digraph hv, and used to transliterate the Gothic letter 𐍈 (which represented the sound [hʷ]) *Ⱶ ⱶ : Claudian letters *Ꟶ ꟶ : Reversed half h used in Roman inscriptions from the Roman provinces of Gaul ===Ancestors, siblings, and descendants in other alphabets=== *𐤇 : Semitic letter Heth, from which the following symbols derive **Η η : Greek letter Eta, from which the following symbols derive ***𐌇 : Old Italic H, the ancestor of modern Latin H **** : Runic letter haglaz, which is probably a descendant of Old Italic H ***Һ һ : Cyrillic letter Shha, which derives from Latin H ***И и : Cyrillic letter И, which derives from the Greek letter Eta *** : Gothic letter haal ***Armenian letter ho (Հ) ===Derived signs, symbols, and abbreviations=== * : Planck constant *ℏ : reduced Planck constant *\mathbb{H} : Blackboard bold capital H used in quaternion notation ==Computing codes== 1 and all encodings based on ASCII, including the DOS, Windows, ISO-8859, and Macintosh families of encodings. ==Other representations== ==See also== * Handshape ** American Sign Language grammar * List of Egyptian hieroglyphs#H ==References== ==External links== * * * Lubliner, Coby. 2008.

thumb|right|Simonds' brewery malthouse, now apartments H & G Simonds Ltd was a brewing company founded in Reading, Berkshire, England in 1785 by William Blackall Simonds. The company amalgamated with Courage & Barclay in 1960 and dropped the Simonds name after ten years. Eventually the firm became part of Scottish & Newcastle who sold the brands to Wells & Young's Brewery in 2007 and closed the Reading brewery three years later. ==History== The Simonds brewery was founded in Broad Street in Reading by William Blackall Simonds in 1785, although his father had a brewing arm of his malting business as early as 1760. In 1790 the company moved to Bridge Street, where it remained until 1978. The new brewery complex was designed by architect Sir John Soane and possessed an early Boulton & Watt steam engine. Over time the brewery expanded, coming to occupy large quantities of land alongside the River Kennet on both sides of Bridge Street. The site is now occupied by The Oracle shopping centre. Simonds developed rapidly, but expansion was held back until legislation restricting the setting up of new public houses was repealed by the Beerhouse Act 1830. Since 1813, Simonds had supplied beer to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. In the 1850s, it expanded its reputation for supplying the military with beer, when nearby Aldershot was established as the 'home of the British Army'. This led to a branch being set up in Malta and an outlet in Gibraltar. The former still exists as the, now independent, Simonds Farsons Cisk Brewery. Simonds also supplied many of the railways in southern England. By the 1880s, Simonds was the largest brewery in Reading. Simonds became a very early limited company in 1885, taking the name of H & G Simonds from William's two sons, Henry and George. The latter was the father of a later director, George Blackall Simonds, a sculptor. After the First World War, Simonds expanded by acquisition, purchasing local breweries as well as others in places such as Bristol and Devonport. The hopleaf logo was introduced to all Simonds pubs in 1930. By 1938, Simonds' was producing just over one percent of all beer brewed in England and Wales. The brewery made extensive use of the canal to deliver its wares, but the railway was also an important form of transport, with the brewery having its own siding off the Coley branch line. In 1960, the brewery amalgamated with Courage & Barclay to become Courage, Barclay, Simonds & Co Ltd until simplified to Courage Ltd in 1970. As Scottish Courage, they operated from the Berkshire Brewery on the borders of Reading and Shinfield, until it closed in March 2010. In January 2007, the rights for the production, marketing and sales of the Courage brands were sold to Wells & Young's Brewing Company of Bedford. This is managed by a venture called Courage Brands Ltd. ==Beer== Simonds was a pioneer of pale ale in the 1830s, including India pale ale which the company exported to the British army in India. In the 1870s, they developed a lighter beer called 'SB' (Season's Brew) and, in the following decade introduced a new system of fermentation known as the 'Burton Union Method'. Simonds were well known for their 'hopleaf' branding and Hopleaf pale ale is still available from the Simonds Farsons Cisk Brewery in Malta. Simonds branded an "India Pale Ale" as "Tavern", the name originating as "Taverner's" in a competition for employees. ==References== ==External links== *Hopleaf Beer *Royal Berkshire History: William Blackall Simonds *The Story of H & G Simonds Ltd Brewery, Reading *The Red Cow in Caversham: a Simonds Pub *The Doctor Johnson in Barkingside – End of an Era: a Simonds Pub Simonds Simonds Brewery Simonds Simonds Simonds
H & J Smith Holdings Ltd, branded as H & J Smith and known colloquially as H&J;'s or Smith's is a company which operates in the lower South Island of New Zealand. The company was founded in 1900. It primarily operates in department stores, specialty stores and franchises (some within the main department stores). The department stores are located in Invercargill, Gore and Queenstown. There were also department stores in Dunedin, Te Anau, Balclutha, Nelson, and Blenheim. ==History== thumb|left|Helen and John Smith, co-founders of H & J Smith H & J Smith was established by brother and sister John Smith and Helen Hay Smith in 1900 as a drapery store in Invercargill and became a major retail company in New Zealand. The company has also maintained a presence on Dunedin's George Street for almost a 120 years. In addition, H & J Smith operated a network of stores in the Nelson and Blenheim area. The H & J Smith store in Nelson at 60/80 Bridge Street was closed in 2003. On 25 May 2020, it was reported that H & J Smith was considering closing its stores in Dunedin, Mosgiel, Balclutha, Te Anau, and Gore as well as the Armoury Store in Dunedin and Outdoor World in Queenstown as a result of the economic effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand. The Take Note store in Gore would relocate but H & J Smith's stores in Invercargill and Queenstown would remain open. A final decision will be made in early June with the downsizing expected to affect 175 jobs. Dunedin and Clutha Mayors Aaron Hawkins and Bryan Cadogan have urged the company to reconsider their closure plans. In early June 2020, H&J; Smith confirmed the closure of its Te Anau and Balclutha stores in late July while downsizing its Gore branch in late August 2020. The Outdoor World in Queenstown and Take Note Store will also be closed down. These closures will affect 60 employees. On 19 June, H&J; Smith confirmed that it would be closing its Dunedin department store in January 2021 and the Armoury Store in the nearby Wall Street precinct. In May 2023, H&J; Smith announced that they proposed to close all of their remaining department stores (Invercargill, Gore, Queenstown) by November citing a decline in the department store model and the cost of renovating and strengthening the Invercargill flagship. The other stores owned by the group (Mitre 10 Mega Queenstown, Mitre 10 Mega Invercargill and Laser Electrical) would not close but they would look at selling off their Gun City, Paper Plus and school uniform services. On June 26, 2023, the decision was finalised to shut down the department stores on 18 November 2023, with a loss of 220 jobs. == Department stores operated by H & J Smith == thumb|right|250px|Cosmetics at H & J Smith Invercargill === H & J Smith Invercargill === The Invercargill Department Store is the flagship store, with by far the most floor space (at 12,000sqm taking up the width of a city block) and largest offering. Store departments include Cosmetics and Fine Fragrance, Ladies' Fashion, Men's Fashion, Lingerie, Accessories (including jewellery and watches), Footwear, Icebreaker, Paper Plus, Waxx surf shop, uproar streetware, and Armoury Fashion Boutique on the Ground Floor.

H & J's also sells School Uniforms and Luggage. The store also includes a café restaurant branded as The Copper Kettle on the upper floor, and MOOCH Espresso Bar on the ground floor. The Invercargill store includes a Sky Bridge connecting the store to a paid car park building. ==== Store history ==== The Invercargill store was the very first H&J; Smith store, the original store was located at 125 Dee Street in Invercargill and moved to 48 Tay Street in 1908 after the original premises was considered too small. In 1923 the Invercargill store was once again relocated this time H&J; Smith's purchased the Price & Bulleid Building on the corner of Tay and Kelvin street, H&J; Smith Invercargill remains in this location today. Since then the building has been extended several times stretching out to Kelvin street, a clock tower was added to the Tay street corner of the building in 1940, this was replaced with a digital clock in 1970 and the building facades were upgraded in 1969. A car parking building was constructed across the road from H&J; Smith's on the Esk street side, in the 1970s and a sky bridge between the car park and H&J; Smiths was built in the 1980s. H&J; Smiths purchased the adjoining building on Esk street in 1989, at the time this was most recently used by the Invercargill Licensing Trust as a liquor store and before this was home to Watts & Greive Ltd, a Morris car dealer. This building was used for H&J; Smiths Mitre 10 franchise between 1990 and 2004, H&J; Smith's Appliance Centre between 2006 and 2011 and after extensive renovations were made to this building in 2014 the building is now home to Outdoor H&J; Smith. During the 2000s the Invercargill store was subject to major renovations including the addition of twin escalators, where in the past there was only one escalator going in the up direction. A larger cosmetic department located in the centre of the Esk Street end of the store was added in 2003, as well as an extensive Fine Fragrance area. Dressmaking fabrics were removed from the store in 2009. In 2011, the Invercargill Paper Plus franchise, which H & J Smith had purchased in 2010, was incorporated into the main Invercargill store, replacing a Take Note franchise. Postal services were removed at this time, however in 2019 postal services were reinstated after the Invercargill Post Shop closed down. An Appliance Department existed up until 2011, the original location was on the second floor but the department moved to the building next door in 2006 after Mitre 10 moved to its current Mega Store location. The appliance department was branded as H & J's Appliance Centre and for a time was a Betta Electrical franchise. thumb|left|250px|H & J Smith Gore === H & J Smith Gore === Originally a large department store offering most of the services in the Invercargill flagship store but on a smaller scale, today H & J Smith Gore is a small store that offers Ladies and Mens fashion clothing, Footwear, Accessories and School Uniforms. ==== Store history ==== H & J Smith opened their second store in Gore in 1905 with the original location being the Criterion Hotel building. H & J Smith Gore was relocated to a new building on the corner of Main street and Irk street in 1913 and H & J Smith Gore remained in this building for 107 years, until September 2020. The upstairs portion of the store once housed the Woman's Club and a dental surgery. In 1954 Queen Elizabeth II visited Gore and dined at the Womens club located in the H & J Smith building. The front of the building was extended in size in 1925 doubling the Main street frontage and the Irk street frontage increased in 1930. In 2000 the store frontage was increased further after the neighbouring Hallensteins store closed down, an entrance way was created between the H & J Smith store and the former Hallensteins store with this area becoming the menswear department. Upgrades to the Gore store took place over the years including the addition of a lift in 1971, and the opening of the Viking Restaurant in the 1970s. In the late 90s the Viking Restaurant was replaced with a new cafe The Junction Cafe located at the front of the store. The shop main entrance was relocated to the corner of the building. In February 2019 the Gore store was consolidated to a single floor with the public toilets and Soft Furnishings the only parts remaining on the First Floor. The consolidation to a single floor saw the closure of the Junction Café in 2018. In early June 2020, H & J Smith confirmed that their Gore branch would be further downsizing with the original store closing and relocated into the former Hallensteins building next door that H & J Smiths had used as the menswear department. The New Zealand Post services were moved across the road into the Paper Plus store. Part of the H & J Smith Gore store has now been tenanted by a local retailer called Interior Warehouse. The rear of the ground floor is now tenanted by Hello Banana. Departments that were offered in the Gore store prior to downsizing included Ladieswear, Childrenswear, Mens/Boyswear, Lingerie, Giftware (including Kitchenware, tabletop and Home Decor), Accessories, Cosmetics including Elizabeth Arden, Revlon, L'Oreal and Fragrance, Toys/Nursery, Soft Furnishings and Home Linens.

The Dunedin Arthur Barnett store building was remodelled into Dunedin's Meridian Mall between 1995 and 1997 with Arthur Barnett the anchor tenant in the Meridian Mall. At its prime, Arthur Barnett operated 5 stores across Otago. By the time of purchase, it had declined to a store in Dunedin and an online store. The online store was reformatted into H&J;'s first foray into online retailing. Arthur Barnett was sold to H & J Smith in June 2015 and after a short period continuing under its original name, store was rebranded to align with H&J;'s other department stores.

H & R Block Ltd v Sanott [1976] 1 NZLR 213 is a cited case in New Zealand regarding the legality of restraint of trade clauses under the Illegal Contracts Act 1970. ==Background== Sanott was employed as a manager of H & R Block's Christchurch office. After a falling out between them, Sannott resigned and set up in competition to them. H & R Block sought to enforce his restraint of trade clause excluding him for operating within 25 miles of their Christchurch office for the next 5 years. ==Held== The court found the restraint of trade clause was unreasonable, and modified it to excluding operating within 5 miles, for 3 years. Somers J said "The provisions of s 8 were intended to overcome the annihilating effect of the common law rules about excessive restraints and to alter those rules as to severance". ==See also== * Illegal Contracts Act 1970 ==References== Category:High Court of New Zealand cases Category:New Zealand contract case law Category:1975 in case law Category:1975 in New Zealand law Category:H&R; Block
H & R Daniel is a little known manufactory of porcelain and earthenware. During the 24 years the pottery was in operation it was considered of equal stature with Spode, Minton and their contemporaries. The pottery was situated in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, England. == Overview == Henry Daniel (1765–1841) was an enameller and colour maker. Prior to setting up his own manufactory in 1822 he ran a business within the Spode II* factory from at least 1805 to August 1822. In 1822, Henry formed his own business. Richard (1800–1884) Henry’s second son was officially made a partner in 1826. The manufactory known as H & R Daniel continued until 1846 when it ceased due to insolvency.. Daniel’s wares were said to be on a par with the best hand painted porcelain of the time. Prestigious customers included the Earl of Shrewsbury and the Duke of Clarence (later William IV). * Josiah Spode (1755–1827) known as Spode II to differentiate him from his father Josiah Spode I (1733–1797) and from his son, Josiah Spode III (1777–1829).. == A Family of Enamellers == Henry was the son of Thomas (enameller) and Frances Daniel. It is perhaps unsurprising that Henry followed in his father’s footsteps as an enameller. Henry and Elizabeth had four children, Thomas; Richard; John & Ann. == Henry Daniel’s Businesses == According to Berthoud, records show that Henry Daniel was in partnership with a John Brown in Hanley in 1802. This came to an end in June 1806 and John Brown continued the business at Hanley, which had included the manufacture of earthenware, enamelling and gilding. From 1805 until 1822 Daniel ran his own business on the Spode II premises and was Spode’s enameller. Whiter’s job description of an enameller is of an “art director, a decorating manager, a colour manufacturer and a works chemist”. This illuminates the important role that Daniel held for Spode as he bought blanks from Spode, decorated them in his own rented premises and sold them back to Spode to market. Henry Daniel’s relationship with Spode II was that of one businessman to another. Daniel rented his workshop from Spode, paid to grind his colours and have use of the gold pan, purchased all the equipment necessary, hired his own staff and built three kilns on the Spode site. John Democratis contests that Daniel and Spode were “a dream team”. Spode had the business acumen and produced fine wares that were decorated with exceptional skill and expertise by those in Daniel’s employ. Whiter also describes Daniel as “an aristocrat of his craft”. Their arguments are backed up by a factory visit by none other than the Prince of Wales (subsequently George IV) in 1806. He conferred the Royal Warrant of Appointment on Spode II. Apart from the fine quality of the wares, the enamelling and gilding by Daniel must have played a huge part in such approbation. Daniel’s factory was no mean affair. It is recorded that at the Coronation of George IV (July 19, 1821) there were 192 persons employed by Daniel of whom 119 were female. The terms of agreement between Daniel and Spode II meant that when Daniel decided to set up in business of his own account, Spode had first call on all that Daniel owned on the Spode site. Not only that but Spode II had precedence at offering employment to those on Daniel’s payroll. Wilkinson writes that “Daniel left Spode a wonderful legacy, fully equipped, well-designed decorating department with talented artists, hand paintresses, hand painters and gilders”. == 1822-1846 == Arrangements were severed in August 1822 between Spode II and Henry Daniel who took over the former Minton China Works to establish his own business. Richard was formally taken on as a partner in his father’s business in 1826. It seems that Daniel lost no time at going into production for himself even if only in a small way. He was successful in gaining a very large order from the Earl of Shrewsbury that was completed in 1827. This prestigious order must surely have helped his business to become firmly established. Evidence as to how the H & R Daniel products were received is indicated in a letter from Richard to his father. It appears that at this time Richard was promoting the family’s wares to the London market. Richard exhorted his father to employ some more good flower painters, as “everybody says they never saw such goods before” and that other manufacturers trade was suffering because of the impact H & R Daniel was having in the market place. Between 1826 and 1836 the business prospered. More simply decorated products followed this period. However 1839 saw an order for a more elaborate service for Mary Talbot (daughter of the Earl of Shrewsbury) on the occasion of her marriage. Henry Daniel died in 1841 at the age of 76, notebooks show that he was still experimenting with colours as late as 1840. Towards the end of his life Henry was at odds with Richard and Henry’s will shows this in the way his bequests were left. The business continued as H & R Daniel until 1846 when it ceased trading due to financial difficulties. In 1847 Richard was sent to a debtor’s prison. Michael Berthoud’s H & R Daniel, 1822-1846 quoted extensively is a must read. It is worth noting that H & R Daniel produced porcelain, earthenware and ornamental goods. == Discovering Daniel Wares == This can prove almost impossible without appropriate resources. At the time H & R Daniel commenced their business, how would they be known? This was a new manufactory bursting onto the established scene when retailers at the time did not wish the public to know who the potter was for fear they would be cut out of the loop. This meant that items by and large would not have a factory mark; this did not apply to Daniel alone. Such is the case for the vast majority of H & R Daniel, the Shrewsbury service being an exception where an ornate back stamp may be seen. Certain other makers marks may be found but these are very rare. Pattern books such as the one held in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London is a further help. Smith and Beardmore’s Identifying Daniel Porcelain Tablewares, 2009 is another resource. Some items have pattern numbers often in gilt but occasionally in a predominant colour featured in the pattern and can be matched to those recorded. A further aid to identity may be by cup handle shapes. With respect to Daniel earthenware items, these may be found with a backstamp giving the name of the pattern accompanied by a letter D. Unfortunately for the researcher/collector the same system was used by Thomas Dimmock & Co, this can and has resulted in confusion with Daniel items being wrongly attributed to Dimmock. Predominantly a book about H&R; Daniel Earthenwares, 2015, this book contains a catalogue of Dimmock marks and patterns to assist with differentiation. Daniel earthenware marks can also be seen at http://www.danielcc.org/earthenware.php. == References == == Further reading == *Smith, Brian; Beardmore, Bryan (2009) Identifying Daniel Porcelain Tablewares, Trinity Creative Resources, Reading, *Simpson, John; Simpson, Jeannette; Smith, Brian; Beardmore, Bryan (2015) H&R; Daniel Earthenwares, Mpress of Brighton, UK, *Smith, Brian (2017) Identifying Daniel Ornamental Wares, THINK DESIGN AND PRINT, Royal Leamington Spa, *Simpson, J&J; Smith, Brian; Beardmore, Bryan; Pickett, G&S; (2018) H&R; DANIEL A POCKET GUIDE TO AID IDENTIFICATION, Mpress of Brighton, UK, == External links == * www.danielcc.org Category:Staffordshire pottery Category:Ceramics manufacturers of England Category:Companies based in Stoke-on-Trent

H is a 2002 South Korean urban horror-thriller film. It was written and directed by Lee Jong-hyeok, and stars Yum Jung-ah, Ji Jin-hee, and Cho Seung- woo. A serial killer who preyed on pregnant women has been behind bars for 10 months, when a copycat killer becomes active. Detectives meet with the imprisoned killer and search for clues in an effort to head off the copy cat killer before he kills more. == Plot == Twenty-two-year-old serial killer Shin Hyun targeted pregnant women and turned himself in after committing several grisly murders. Ten months later a copycat killer became active, and detectives Kang and Kim are put on the case. They track down the killer by following clues from the first two victims: A pregnant schoolgirl whose fetus the killer removed, and a single mother strangled from behind on a bus. They had tried to pump Shin for information, but without success. They stake out the killer's home, but when the killer comes home, he notices the cops and runs. Kang follows him into a nightclub, where the killer slices off a lesbian's ear and then slits her throat, just like Shin's third victim. Kang fires two rounds into his chest; this puts him in a coma. Despite this, the murders still continue. The police capture the next suspect, but the murders keep occurring. In the end, it is revealed that Shin's mother had tried to abort him, but he survived. The psychologist Dr. Chu had used post-hypnotic suggestion on the other two killers to make them commit copycat murders. Kang then kills Chu (imitating Shin's murder of an abortion doctor), but Kang is triggered by a CD mailed to him. Kang kills his own mother, who was a prostitute. In the course of the movie, Shin is executed and his final words are "I killed my mother." This explains the sixth and last unidentified victim, whom he brought in a bag to the police station when he confessed. Kang is about to commit suicide when Kim shows up and kills him instead. Just before the ending credits, the letter "H" appears and expands into the word "hypnosis", and its definition. == Cast == * Yum Jung-ah as Detective Kim Mi- yeon * Ji Jin-hee as Detective Kang Tae-hyun * Cho Seung-woo as Shin Hyun * Sung Ji-ru as Detective Park * Min Woong-ki as Choi Young-jin * Park Yong-soo as Chief Jang * Kwon Hyuk-poong as Captain Lee * Lee Eol as Detective Han Jung-woo * Kim In-kwon as Heo Young-taek * Park Kil-soo as Bae Yong-man * Kim Sun-kyung as Dr. Chu Kyung-sook * Kim Bu-seon * Kim Roi-ha * Yeon Seon-mi == Awards == H was nominated for the International Fantasy Film Award at the 2004 Fantasporto. ==Reception== Kyu Hyun Kim of Koreanfilm.org praised the "distinctive production design and cinematography" and minimalist music score and sound design, which "contributes a great deal to the film's uniquely and unremittingly dark atmosphere." He also mentioned that the detectives' characterization was "believably professional and suitably humanized," aided by the cast's solid acting, notably by Sung Ji-roo's "excellent supporting performance." But he criticized the antagonist as "misconceived" and that the climactic revelation was "a complete letdown." ==Remake== A 2009 Telugu remake titled Amaravathi was directed by Ravi Babu and starred Taraka Ratna as the antagonist. ==References== == External links == * * Category:2002 films Category:2002 psychological thriller films Category:2000s Korean-language films Category:South Korean serial killer films Category:South Korean detective films Category:South Korean mystery thriller films Category:2000s mystery horror films Category:South Korean psychological thriller films Category:South Korean films remade in other languages Category:2000s South Korean films
H is an EP by Japanese recording artist Ayumi Hamasaki, featuring songs later included on her fifth studio album Rainbow (2002). The EP contains the songs "Independent", "July 1st" and "Hanabi", all written and co-composed by Hamasaki (under the alias Crea), alongside composer Dai Nagao and producer Max Matsuura. Hamasaki had written and recorded the three songs when she was still hurt and influenced by the events of the September 11 attacks and the completion of her fourth studio album I Am... (2002). The attacks influenced Hamasaki's lyrical and musical direction, and had made her decide to create more worldly-inspired music. The EP utilizes dance and pop music, with each song being influenced by pop rock, electronica, and trip hop music. Like Rainbow, it contains ambient-influenced sounds such as handclaps and cheering. The lyrical content deals with freedom, fun and sadness, continuing themes seen on her previous album. The EP received mostly positive reviews from music critics, who commended the production value. Many critics praised it as being one of Hamasaki's career highlights. The EP was commercially successful in her native Japan, peaking at number one on the weekly Oricon Singles Chart. It became the only single in 2002 to sell over one million units in Japan in the same year, and was certified Million by the Recording Industry Association of Japan. No music videos were created to promote the EP, which makes only one of three single or extended play releases by Hamasaki to lack videos (A (1999), "Unite!" (2001) and "Terminal" (2014)). However, the singles did have commercial endorsed videos by product companies that featured Hamasaki. The songs have been performed several times on her domestic and nationwide tours including A-nation and her stadium tours Ayumi Hamasaki Stadium Tour 2002 A and Ayumi Hamasaki Countdown Live 2002–2003 A. ==Background== On New Year's Day 2002, Hamasaki released her fourth studio album I Am... from Avex Trax. The album saw a new direction for Hamasaki, whose first three studio albums was dominated by a pop rock sound, and lyrics based on loneliness, confusion, sadness, relationships and individualism. The result was not well-received from critics, who felt the effort was "unassuming", particularly on her debut release A Song for ×× (1999). After being affected emotionally by the September 11 attacks, Hamasaki quickly changed the album's planned musical direction, and updated the album cover to support world peace. This effort was Hamasaki's first album to focus on lighter themes, such as faith, humanity and serenity. I Am... became a success and sold over 2.3 million copies in Japan, and was certified triple million by the RIAJ. Hamasaki begun work on Rainbow the same year, and intended to focus on the same themes again. While promoting I Am..., Hamasaki performed for the first time outside Japan at the 2002 MTV Asia Music Awards in Singapore. Her performance has been seem as an influencing factor for Japanese musical acts to begin performing overseas. At the ceremony, Hamasaki felt that by only writing Japanese lyrics, she was not able to bring her "message" to other countries and decided to write in English. Rainbow contained three songs with English lyrics; "Real Me", "Heartplace" and "Over". Despite this, none of the three songs on H feature English lyrics. Three months before the release of H, Hamasaki released her first single from Rainbow, "Free & Easy", on April 24, 2002. The song received positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success, peaking at number one on the Oricon Charts and selling over 400,000 copies. ==Recording and production== The September 11 attacks influenced Hamasaki's writing for her studio albums I Am... and Rainbow. I Am... focused on world peace and political aspects and featured "A Song Is Born", a song particularly influenced by the event which had been included on Song Nation, a non-profit album funded by her label Avex Trax for the September 11 victims. (Paid access required to view article) The song itself sold over 400,000 units in Japan and the profits were donated towards the American government to help with the damages. Rainbow and the H tracks were recorded in Tokyo at Avex Studios, Prime Sound Studio, JVC Victor Studios, as well as at other recording studios in Japan. "Hanabi" and "Independent" was mixed by Yasuo Matsumoto, while "July 1st" was mixed by Koji Morimoto. In order to expand her creative control, she had composed nine tracks on Rainbow and subsequently co-composed all the tracks from H. "Independent" was the first song recorded for the studio album. Avex Trax director Yasuyuki Tomita and Hamasaki had discussed having a song with a baseball theme. While she was convinced by his idea, Tomita later reconsidered the idea and scrapped it. Japanese producer Dai Nagao, who had co-composed Hamasaki's album Loveppears, thought of a similar concept and suggested the idea to Hamasaki, which she accepted. The single version of "Independent" was not featured on Rainbow, a version of the song titled "Independent+" was included as a hidden track. This was the third time Hamasaki had included a song as a hidden track, after "Kanariya" on Loveppears (1999). The song discusses independence and adulthood. The second track, "July 1st" was composed by Nagao and Hamasaki. Japanese disc jockey Cool-K also included additional scratching on the track. As H was released during the Japanese summer, Hamasaki decided to incorporate a "summer vibe" to the tracks and, according to Tomita, "July 1st" was her strongest song to feature this. These themes had also been explored throughout I Am.... The lyrical content is "uplifting and cheerful" and talks about fun experiences; Hamasaki commented, "This was the first time I had ever written a song ["July 1st"] from this viewpoint, and I even surprised myself!" "Hanabi" talks about Hamasaki's views of the world, and discusses personal nostalgia. Hamasaki wanted the songs to be deeper, and Tomita commented that "Hanabi" was the first time he saw Hamasaki feel more engaged with global artists and incorporating those influences, rather than simply being influenced by Japanese music. "Hanabi"'s title was written in English characters, and is the Japanese word for fireworks. The title was re-used on her single & for the track "Hanabi (Episode II)". ==Musical styles== H incorporates different genres including trip hop, dance-rock and electronica. "Independent" is a pop rock song with elements of modern electronica. The song features more "relaxed" vocals and "softer" lyrical content. According to Tomita, Hamasaki had placed microphones in Tokyo Dome during one of her concerts, to recorded the audience's voices and "cheerleader" hand claps, as a way to incorporate inspiration from her fans. "July 1st" is a Eurodance and dance-pop influenced song. According to CDJournal, the song starts with a "natural breezy" guitar flow. "Hanabi" is inspired by British trip hop and dub music, and is also strongly influenced by ambient music. The song's lyrical content and composition were based on the theme of nostalgia, which Hamasaki felt was one of her more deep songs. She felt that putting "Hanabi" after "July 1st" was perfect because it interrupted the emotions created by the "summery vibe" of "July 1st"; Hamasaki herself had stated that her idea was to create "a summer that ends in deep sadness." Tomita felt that Hamasaki was trying to move outside of the Japanese domestic market by incorporating British trip hop influences. ==Cover art== The cover sleeve was directed by Shinichi Hara. Shinichi has been Hamasaki's creative director for photoshoots, album and single sleeves, and began collaborating with her in 1998 with her on her debut album. His final work was directing the sleeve for Hamasaki's 2009 single "Sunrise/Sunset (Love Is All)". The photographer, Keita Haginiwa, directed the photoshoot, which featured Hamasaki on a beach front. On different versions of the cover artwork, Hamasaki is accompanied by the male model Atsuko Kubota, who professionally goes by the name Minori. The artwork features Hamasaki sitting on a Harley Davidson in front of a beach, leaning and smiling away from the camera. H has five different sleeves featuring photos from the same shoot. All of these were housed in a transparent jewel case. The next three covers contained limited- edition colours; a pink edition, a green edition and a blue edition, all with different cover artwork with a border of each colour. All physical editions featured an additional black and white lyric sheet, a post card from Avex Trax and a Japanese Windows Media Player promotion flyer. All tracks were listed the same and were protected by the Copy Control Association. After the EP achieved one million sales in November 2002, Avex Trax re-released the EP as a digipak, containing all the colored covers inside, and used the original artwork for the front display. ==Release== H was digitally released worldwide with the original artwork. Each song has been featured on several greatest hits compilation albums by Hamasaki. For "Independent", it was featured on A Best 2 (2007), A Complete: All Singles (2008) and A Summer Best (2009). For "July 1st", it was featured on her A Best 2 and A Summer Best compilation and the final track "Hanabi" was featured on A Ballads (2004), A Best 2 and A Summer Best. For the A Best 2 series, which the first two tracks were featured on the white version and the latter track on the black version. All of the songs from H were remastered in Los Angeles, California by Bernie Grundman and Brian "Big Bass" Gardner, in order to have a "more powerful" feel on the compilation. "July 1st" was re-released as the b-side single for Hamasaki's 2015 digital single "Step by Step". ==Reception== ===Critical reception=== H received favorable reviews from most music critics. Adam Greenberg from Allmusic reviewed the parent album Rainbow and favoured "Independent" and "Hanabi", but failed to mention "July 1st". He felt that "Hanabi" "focuses strongly on her vocal qualities as well as some interesting phrasing [...]", while he concluded that the song "Close to You" "[...] never quite gets off the ground, especially when compared to the ending track, ["Independent",]" Greenberg, who had written the extended biography of Hamasaki on the same website, had listed "Hanabi" as one of her career standouts. CDJournal had reviewed each track on their mini-review. For "Independent", the reviewer called it an "upper dance tune" and felt the song sounded "aggressive." For the second track, the reviewer commended the song's composition and production and called it a "summery, refreshing dance tune." However, slight criticism was directed on the chorus that needed "minor adjustment." For the third track, the reviewer felt that the song expressed the sadness of the end of summer through a Japanese fireworks motif, and praised her freely expressed world view. Tetsuo Hiraga from Hot Express commended the tracks. Regarding "July 1st" and "Independent", Hiraga praised the songs for showing positive messages and having more personality drawn towards the songs and said the songs had shown more "respect." Regarding "Hanabi", Hiraga commended the sadder songs which also included "Over". Hiraga exemplified the lyric ("There's never a day that I have/To remember you because/I never for a moment forgot you.") for being one of his favorite lyrics on the album. Hamasaki hosted an online voting poll for fans to choose their favorite tracks to be featured on her Ayumi Hamasaki 15th Anniversary Tour Best Live Tour. As a result, all three songs from H were featured on the list. H won the Song of the Year Award at the Japan Gold Disc Awards in 2003, alongside "Free & Easy" and "Voyage". ===Commercial response=== H debuted at number one on the Weekly Singles Chart and peaked at number one for three non-consecutive weeks, including its debut week, its second week and its fourth week on the chart, with the third week being occupied by Misia's single "Nemurenu Yoru wa Kimi no Sei". The song stayed in the top ten for seven weeks, slipping to number thirteen in its eighth week. The song lasted thirteen weeks inside the top forty and ultimately finished its charting run at number sixty-three in its nineteenth week. With a total of nineteen weeks in the singles chart, it has become Hamasaki's second-longest charting single since "Seasons", which charted for over twenty weeks. H sold over one million units in Japan and was certified Million by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) on 24 November 2002 for shipments of one million units. This became the best selling single of the year in Japan and surpassed Hikaru Utada's 2002 single "Traveling" which sold over 850,000 units throughout the year. "Traveling" and H were the only singles of the year to be certified for one million copies shipped by RIAJ. Overall, H was the only single to sell over one million units that year and became Hamasaki's first and only single to be the yearly number one. According to Oricon sales, H is Hamasaki's fifth-best-selling single in her musical career, behind A, "Seasons", "M" and "Boys & Girls". H also remains Hamasaki's last single to sell over one million units and is the only million-selling single on Rainbow. It is her fourth single to sell over one million physical units, after "Boys & Girls" and A from Loveppears (1999), "Seasons" from Duty (2000) and "M" from I Am.... Hamasaki's last highest selling single close to the one million physical sales mark was the next single "Voyage" which peaked at number one, but only sold an estimated 679,000 units in Japan and was certified double platinum. The song "Hanabi" was a commercially successful sleeper hit, becoming certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan in January 2015, for selling 100,000 legal downloads since its release twelve and a half years prior. ==Promotion== The H tracks did not receive a music video. This was her first EP single since A (1999) and her first single since "Unite!" (2001) that did not feature videos. This was her last single release that did not feature a music video until her October 2014 single "Terminal". Each song from the H EP were released through endorsement deals. For "Independent", the song was on Nippon TV for the program The Baseball. This was the only commercial that Hamasaki was not present on. For "July 1st", Hamasaki was featured with the song on a lipstick commercial for KOSE Visee make-up in Japan. For "Hanabi", the song was used as a cellphone advert in Japan. ==Live performances== Hamasaki has performed the three songs on several of her Asian-based tours; * Ayumi Hamasaki Arena Tour 2002 A ("Independent") * Ayumi Hamasaki Stadium Tour 2002 A (All tracks) * Ayumi Hamasaki Countdown Live 2002–2003 A (All tracks) * Ayumi Hamasaki Arena Tour 2003–2004 A ("Independent") * Ayumi Hamasaki Countdown Live 2004–2005 A ("Independent") * Tour of Secret ("Independent") * Ayumi Hamasaki Asia Tour 2008: 10th Anniversary ("Hanabi" and "Independent") * Ayumi Hamasaki Premium Countdown Live 2008–2009 A ("Independent") * Premium Showcase: Feel the Love ("July 1st") ==Personnel== Credits adapted from the EP's liner notes. ===Song credits=== *Ayumi Hamasaki – songwriting, composition, vocal production, additional production (All tracks) *Dai Nagao – composition (All tracks) *Yasuyuki Tomita – A&R; *Shigeo Miyamoto – mastering, engineering *Shinji Hayashi – additional production *Max Matsuura – executive producer, vocal production, additional production ===Cover credits=== *Shinichi Hara – art direction *Shigeru Kasai and Takuma Noriage – design *Naoki Ueda – creative coordinator *Keita Haginiwa – photographer *Koji Matsumoto – fashion director *Fumihara Minoshima – stylist *Keizo Kuroda and Takahiro Yamashita – hair assistant and make-up stylist *Kanako Miura – nail artist *Atsuko Kubota – stand in *Katsutaka Numakura – transportation assistant ==Track listing== Source: ==Charts, peaks and positions== ===Oricon charts=== Chart (2002) Peak position Japan Weekly Chart (Oricon) 1 ===Year-end charts=== Chart (2002) Peak position Japan Yearly Chart (Oricon) 1 ===Certification=== Region Certification Shipments Japan (RIAJ) Million 1,170,000 ==Release history== List of release dates by region, including format details, and record label Region Date Format Label Version Japan July 24, 2002 Copy Control Compact disc Avex Trax EP (original versions) November 24, 2002 Digipak ==Notes== == References == ==External links== * H information at Avex Network. * H information at Oricon.

H was a streetcar route in Los Angeles, California. It was owned and operated by the Los Angeles Railway from 1912 to 1947. ==History== The route's origins begin when the streetcar lines running on Washington Street and Maple Avenue were combined into a single service in 1912, running through Downtown. During the 1920 rerouting, the Washington Street line was spun into the West Washington and Garvanza Line. Thus, the Maple and Heliotrope line consisted of tracks on Melrose; Heliotrope; Temple; New Hampshire; First; Bimini Place; a private right of way; 2nd; Rampart; 6th; Alvarado; 7th; Maple; Woodlawn; Santa Barbara; Wall; and 53rd. The Maple segment became the south end of the new line, which ran to Melrose to Normandie in Melrose Hill. The line was given the letter designation H in 1921. Service between First and the University of California was temporarily discontinued in the summer of 1924 amid citywide power cuts. The western end was rerouted via Vermont and Beverly in 1924 and extended to Melrose and Western the following year. This routing pattern held until August 3, 1947 when service was discontinued. ==Sources== ==External links== * H Line Archives — Pacific Electric Railway Historical Society * Category:Los Angeles Railway routes Category:Railway services introduced in 1912 Category:1912 establishments in California Category:1947 disestablishments in California

It is one of the six base lines of the S-train network, running every 20 minutes all days from about 5:00 until 1:00. It is the only base line in the network whose frequency is not doubled in the daytime; instead approximate 10-minute service on the outer part of the radial is provided by extending some trains on service C from Ballerup to Frederikssund. On Friday and Saturday nights there is also a 30 minutes service throughout the night. ==Stations== *Frederikssund Originally opened on June 17.th 1879, changed to S-train on May 28.th, 1989 *Ølstykke Originally opened on June 17.th 1879, changed to S-train on May 28.th, 1989 *Gl.

He is ready to do anything to earn money and willing to place himself in difficult situations: cross-dressing, selling rats, trafficking expired pizzas in the hospital, disguising himself as Santa Claus, etc. He is a pathological liar and often uses the expression "dis-moi pas que c’est pas vrai" (Don't tell me that it's not true!) *Aymé Césaire - a male nurse. He is the son of an Austrian woman (who ends up having an affair with Sabri) and a man from Guadeloupe. He is a cowardly hypochondriac, often cynical and arrogant.

He is named after the Martiniquais poet, Aimé Césaire. *Sabri Saïd - a stretcher-bearer and later a barman at the bar "Barbylone" near the hospital. Although a comic character, he can be a "bad guy" : he poisons Aymé, Clara, and Professor Strauss, and locks Jamel out on his balcony. *Clara Saulnier - the chief nurse in Orthopedics. An older woman, she is domineering and persistent. Before becoming a nurse, she was an alcoholic prostitute and porn star. She shares a love-hate relationship with Aymé. *Beatrice "Béa" Goldberg - a doctor. She is a nice but unattractive young woman. She can also be considered the most "normal" of the characters. Unlucky in love, she finally falls for Jean- François Nguyen, a French-Vietnamese lawyer, but their wedding is broken up on the day of the marriage. *Professor Maximilien "Max" Strauss - Head surgeon. He is obsessed with sports, collectibles, money, and various sexual fetishes. Because of his incompetence, he is the defendant in several malpractice suits.

He has a daughter named Charlotte, and the show hints that he may be the son of Hitler. *Edgar - the hospital administrator. Intelligent and ambitious, his plans are always thwarted by Professor Strauss, Aymé, or Sabri. == List of episodes == Season Episodes Originally aired 1 20 1998 - 1999 2 20 1999 - 2000 3 20 2000 - 2001 4 11 2002 ==Distribution== A DVD featuring the "Best of H" as well as a box set featuring all four seasons have been released.

H () is a 1973 novel by French novelist Philippe Sollers. The novel was distinguished by its lack of punctuation, similar to Sollers's novels Lois and Paradis. The book was published in English translation in 2015. Critic Roland Champagne describes H as the "culmination" of the "breakdown in traditional writing for Sollers," a period that began with Sollers's novel Lois. ==Overview== Sollers opens H with a reference to Deleuze and Guattari's Anti- Oedipus. This reference, Roland Champagne argues, reflects a kinship between the Anti-Oedipus authors' view of the self as a "desiring machine" and Sollers's desire to parody the "texts which create the self and thereby produce mirror-images of the self as it is reflected in the languages of culture." H is characterized by Sollers's preoccupation with Joyce's Finnegans Wake, a book that provides Sollers an example of "a true subversion of language and a profound historical vision." H also reveals Sollers's interest in Ezra Pound's work, "the epic thrust through time and across space." Sollers had written in Tel Quel that he needed a "rhythm that reflects the tangle of social relationships." Roland Champagne, in his book on Sollers, writes "for this, he need[ed] a new form that will allow the spoken word to provide such a complex voicing, without the hindrances of formal written structure with its paragraphs, capitalization, and punctuation. David Hayman wrote that H was a departure for Sollers in that "[i]t is the first of Sollers's books to have frequent glimmers of humor ... and the first to come to its public, as did the Wake, without an explicit ‘key,’ a preliminary road map. The reader must chart his own H space and time, carve out chunks of H meaning, and supply punctuation and emphases.” Hayman goes on to distinguish H from its antecedents such as Finnegans Wake: "While the Wake has strong, if hidden, elements of plot and character, and a coherent and systematic development, there is no plot line in H or Paradis. If there are personalities, there are no personae. Instead we have the overarching person (sujet) of the writer imposing itself discreetly through its rhythms upon a vision of history as process, or rather of historical flux.” ==Reception== French literary critic Roland Barthes grouped H with three other books by Sollers, Drame, Paradis, and Lois, and described these four as books that > have to be referred to as novels because there is no other term to designate > them. But they do not tell stories, describe a particular society or present > identifiable characters. They are texts of which language itself is the > subject, language which is wholly free from the duty to describe. The world > which these texts presents is not one which the reader could either identify > as her own or see clearly as different from it. In the past, in Barthes's > view it was the author's duty to describe such a world which held language > unjustifiably captive. One of the reasons he writes with such enthusiasm > about Sollers is the way in which texts such as Paradis and Lois show what > happens when this duty is removed. Philip Barnard and Cheryl Lester also viewed H as a turning point in Sollers's work, while also acknowledging its clear antecedents in the work of authors like Joyce and Faulkner: > Without yet returning to plot and character, the novels H (1973) and Paradis > (1981) transform the discrete segments and pronounced architecture of the > earlier works into a continuous, unpunctuated flow of rhythmic prose. With > these two novels, Sollers achieved a tour de force of modernist poetics > whose clear precedents are Joyce and Faulkner. The powerful narrative voice > that emerges in these works foregrounds song, chant, psalmody, and real > rhythms that point toward their sources in sacred texts and Dantean epos. Driftless Area Review lauded H, stating "[a]long with Ulysses and Beckett’s Three Novels, H can take its place in the permanent avant-garde." ==References== ==Sources== * * * * * * * * Category:Novels by Philippe Sollers Category:1973 French novels

H Battery (Ramsay's Troop) Royal Horse Artillery is a battery of 1st Regiment Royal Horse Artillery, part of the Royal Horse Artillery of the British Army. As of 2015, it is based at Albemarle Barracks, Northumberland, England and is equipped with GMLRS. Formed in 1804, the battery has taken part in the Napoleonic Wars (notably the Battle of Waterloo where it earned its Honour Title as Ramsay's Troop), and the First and Second World Wars. Since the Second World War, it has seen a wide variety of service as towed and self- propelled artillery, a training and a headquarters unit, and latterly as a precision fire battery. It has been based in Germany as part of the BAOR, Malaysia, Northern Ireland (Operation Banner), the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq. ==History== ===Napoleonic Wars=== The battery was formed on 1 June 1804 as H Troop, Horse Artillery at Woolwich as a horse artillery battery of the British Army. It remained at home for most of the Napoleonic Wars, but did take part in the Walcheren Expedition in 1809. Armed with five 9 pounder guns and a single 5½" howitzer, it took part in the Hundred Days Campaign in 1815 under the command of Captain (brevet Major) Norman Ramsay. During the Battle of Waterloo it was ordered to support the garrison at Hougoumont. By the end of the day, it had lost four of five officers, including Ramsay. It then took part in the advance to Paris and joined the Army of Occupation. In commemoration of its performance at the Battle of Waterloo, the Honour Title "Ramsay's Troop" was officially granted to the battery on 13 October 1926. In the usual post-war reductions of the British Army, a number of troops of horse artillery were disbanded between 1815 and 1816, including D Troop (Beane's Troop) on 31 July 1816. The remaining troops were then moved up to assume the next available letter and the H Troop became G Troop on the same date. It, too, was disbanded on 31 January 1819. ===Victorian era=== In the wake of the Crimean War and amidst the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the battery was re-raised on 1 December 1857 as G Battery. On 1 July 1859 it was at Portobello Barracks, Dublin when it was assigned to the Horse Brigade, Royal Artillery along with all the existing horse artillery batteries of the Royal Artillery. This was an administrative, rather than tactical, formation. As a result of the Rebellion, the British Crown took direct control of India from the East India Company on 1 November 1858 under the provisions of the Government of India Act 1858. The Presidency armies transferred to the direct authority of the British Crown and its European units were transferred to the British Army. Henceforth artillery, the mutineers most effective arm, was to be the sole preserve of the British Army (with the exception of certain Mountain Artillery batteries). On 19 February 1862, the Horse Brigade RA became the 1st Horse Brigade RA and the Bengal, Madras and Bombay horse artillery formed the 2nd to 5th Horse Brigades. The 1st Brigade with 10 batteries was much larger than the other four (with four to seven batteries each). Therefore, a reorganization of the Horse Artillery on 13 April 1864 saw 1st Brigade split as A and B Brigades. The battery was moved to A Brigade, and as battery designations were tied to the brigade the battery was assigned to, it was redesignated as D Battery, A Brigade (or D/A Battery in short). The battery was at Woolwich at this time. From 1866, the term "Royal Horse Artillery" appeared in Army List hence the battery was designated D Battery, A Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery from about this time. Another reorganization on 14 April 1877 saw the number of brigades reduced to three (of 10 batteries each); the batteryat Woolwichremained in A Brigade but dropped in seniority and became H Battery, A Brigade. The number of brigades was further reduced to two (of 13 batteries each) in 1882 without effecting the designation of the battery by which time it was at Exeter. The brigade system was finally abolished on 1 July 1889. Henceforth, batteries were designated in a single alphabetical sequence in order of seniority from date of formation and the battery took on its final designation as H Battery, Royal Horse Artillery. The battery did not take part in the Second Boer War. ===First World War=== The brigade system was reintroduced on 1 March 1901, this time as tactical formations, and the battery was assigned to the VII Brigade-Division, RHA (redesignated as VI Brigade, RHA on 1 October 1906) along with K Battery. In 1903 it was stationed at Meerut. By the time the First World War broke out, the battery had been re-equipped with six quick- firing 13 pounders and was stationed at Trowbridge, still assigned to VI Brigade with K Battery and attached to the 2nd Cavalry Brigade. Initially, it remained in the United Kingdom on mobilisation while the 2nd Cavalry Brigade joined The Cavalry Division and departed for France. However, on 28 September it was assigned to VII Brigade, RHA in 1st Cavalry Division as a permanent replacement for L Battery which had been almost destroyed at Néry. It remained with the 1st Cavalry Division and served with it on the Western Front for the rest of the war. In practice, the batteries were permanently assigned to the cavalry brigades from September 1914 onwards and the battery was attached to 2nd Cavalry Brigade. It missed the earlier actions of 1914, but took part in the Race to the Sea, notably the Battle of Messines. In 1915 it took part in the Second Battle of Ypres (Battle of Frezenberg, 9–13 May, and Battle of Bellewaarde Ridge, 24 May). The only action in 1916 was at the Battle of Flers-Courcelette (15 September) when it was in reserve to XIV Corps of Fourth Army. In 1917, it supported the division in a number of major actions including the Battle of Arras (April, First Battle of the Scarpe) and the Battle of Cambrai (November and December, including the Tank Attack, the Capture of Bourlon Wood and the German Counter-attacks). At other times, the battery served in the trenches as infantry. 1918 saw greater action as the war of movement resumed, including the German Operation Michael (March, the Battle of St. Quentin, the First Battle of Bapaume and the Battle of Rosières), the Advance to Victory (August, Battle of Amiens), the Second Battle of the Somme (August, Battle of Albert) and the battles of the Hindenburg Line (October, Battle of Cambrai and the Pursuit to the Selle). At the Armistice, it was still serving with 2nd Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division. ===Inter-war period=== Still with the 1st Cavalry Division, it took part in the advance of the Second Army into Germany, crossing the border on 1 December and the Rhine by 13 December. The battery transferred from Germany to II Brigade, RHA at Bordon in early 1919. Between December 1919 and March 1920 it moved to India with II Brigade and was stationed at Sialkot. On 1 May 1924, the battery reverted to Royal Artillery status as H Battery, RA in 8th Field Brigade, RA. It was replaced in II Brigade by L Battery. In 1938, field artillery brigades were reorganized from three six-gun batteries to two 12-gun batteries. Rather than disband existing batteries, they were instead linked in pairs. As a result, on 11 May, H Battery rejoined II Brigade, RHAfrom 8th Field Brigade, RAand simultaneously linked with I Battery as H/I Battery, RHA. With effect from May 1938, brigades were redesignated as regiments and II Brigade became 2nd Regiment, RHA on 21 May. By August 1939 the battery had been fully mechanized and equipped with 18/25 pounders. ===Second World War=== At the outbreak of the Second World War, the battery was still linked with I Battery as H/I Battery in 2nd Regiment, RHA. It remained with the 2nd RHA throughout the war. Initially part of The Armoured Division in the United Kingdom, in October 1939 it moved to France, where the regiment was placed under direct command of General Headquarters, BEF. It was still serving with the BEF when the Battle of France broke out in May 1940. After evacuation from the continent, it joined the 2nd Armoured Division and was transferred to Egypt with the division in November and December 1940. From January to May 1941 it took part in the Battle of Greece with the 1st Armoured Brigade. The experience of the BEF in 1940 showed the limitations of having artillery regiments formed with two 12-gun batteries: field regiments were intended to support an infantry brigade of three battalions (or armoured brigade of three regiments). This could not be managed without severe disruption to the regiment. As a result, field regiments were reorganised into three 8-gun batteries. Surprisingly, it was not until April 1942 that H/I was unlinked. At this point the battery was armed with eight 25 pounders. From 21 April 1942, it served with 22nd Guards Brigade under command of 2nd South African Division in the Battle of Gazala. On 25 June it transferred to 22nd Armoured Brigade and took part in the Battle of Mersa Matruh and the Defence of the El Alamein Line. On 24 August 1942 it rejoined the 1st Armoured Division. It served with this division throughout the rest of the Western Desert Campaign and the Tunisia Campaign, in particular, the battles of El Alamein, Tebaga Gap, Akarit, El Kourzia and Tunis. It moved with the division to Italy in May 1944, fighting at the Battle of Coriano on the Gothic Line. The regiment left 1st Armoured Division on 26 September 1944 and came under direct command of Headquarters, Allied Armies in Italy where it remained until the end of the war. ===Post-war=== Post-war, the battery remained part of the 2nd RHA, equipped with Sexton 25 pounder self-propelled guns. Initially stationed in Palestine, by 1950 it was at Hildesheim in Germany as part of the BAOR. On 3 December 1951, it once again reverted to the Royal Artillery as H Battery, RA and joined 6th Field Regiment in exchange for O Battery in the Suez Canal Zone. Still equipped with Sextons, it returned to Germany in 1954 (Hohne, then Munsterlager) until August 1962 when the regiment returned to England, where it was stationed at Larkhill as part of the Royal School of Artillery. In January 1966, it moved with the regiment to Terendak Camp, Malacca, Malaysia. The battery was now armed with 105mm Pack Howitzers. On 10 May 1968, 6th Regiment was placed in suspended animation and H Battery moved to 39th Regiment Royal Artillery. H Battery joined 39th Regiment, RA on 1 May 1968 at Sennelager and was equipped with towed 8" M115 howitzers. From November 1972 it was equipped with self-propelled 8" M110 howitzers (M110A1 variants from 1979). It undertook four roulement tours to Northern Ireland (Operation Banner) in the infantry role (25 October 197327 February 1974, 4 December 19756 April 1976, 12 January11 May 1978, and 24 November 198011 April 1981). The battery was placed in suspended animation in April 1982. The battery was reformed in January 1994 and joined 7th Parachute Regiment Royal Horse Artillery at Aldershot as the headquarters battery. It subsequently saw postings in Cyprus as part of UNFICYP (June to December 1994), Macedonia and Kosovo (Operation Agricola) in June 1999, Northern Ireland in 19992000, Sierra Leone (Operation Silkman) in May 2000, Afghanistan (Operation Jacana) in 20012002, the Gulf War (Operation Telic) from March 2003, and Afghanistan again (Operation Herrick) in 2008. ===Current status=== Under Army 2020 plans, 7th RHA was reduced from five to three batteries; V Battery was placed in suspended animation in May 2013 and H Battery was transferred to 1st RHA in August of the same year. Although 1st RHA is based at Tidworth in Wiltshire, the battery (as of February 2015) is at Albemarle Barracks in Northumberland until accommodation at Tidworth is ready for them. The battery is equipped with the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System. H Battery will disband in 2019 and its equipment and personnel will be moved to 19 (Gibraltar 1779 - 1783) Battery, 26th Regiment Royal Artillery. As part of the Future Soldier Programme, the battery will be reformed as H Parachute Headquarters Battery (Ramsay's Troop) to act as the headquarters battery for 7th Parachute Regiment, RHA. ==See also== *British Army *Royal Artillery *Royal Horse Artillery *List of Royal Artillery Batteries ==Notes== ==References== ==Bibliography== * * * * * * * * * ==External links== * * Category:Royal Horse Artillery batteries Category:Royal Artillery batteries Category:1804 establishments in the United Kingdom Category:1857 establishments in the United Kingdom Category:Military units and formations established in 1804 Category:Military units and formations disestablished in 1819 Category:Military units and formations established in 1857 Category:British military units and formations of the Napoleonic Wars
H Block is an album recorded by various Irish folk artists, and produced by Christy Moore in 1978. The album's title refers to the "H blocks" at Maze Prison (also known as "Long Kesh") in Northern Ireland, where Irish republican prisoners were held during the Troubles. The subject matter of several of these songs (particularly Moore's "90 Miles From Dublin") specifically centers on the period of the blanket and dirty protests at Maze and at Armagh Women's Prison. The launch of the album was raided by the Special Detective Unit ("Special Branch") of the Republic of Ireland.BBC Radio 4 - Desert Island Discs, Christy Moore ==Track listing== # "Rights of Man" (Traditional) - Matt Molloy # "Guest of the Queen" (Brian Ua Baoill) - Stephen Ray # "On The Blanket" (Mick Hanly) - Mick Hanly # "H.
