U, or u, is the twenty-first and sixth-to-last letter and fifth vowel letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is u (pronounced ), plural ues."U", Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd edition (1989); Merriam-Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged (1993)Brown & Kiddle (1870) The institutes of English grammar, page 19. Ues is the plural of the name of the letter; the plural of the letter itself is rendered U's, Us, u's, or us. ==History== U derives from the Semitic waw, as does F, and later, Y, W, and V. Its oldest ancestor goes to Egyptian hieroglyphics, and is probably from a hieroglyph of a mace or fowl, representing the sound [v] or the sound [w]. This was borrowed to Phoenician, where it represented the sound [w], and seldom the vowel [u]. In Greek, two letters were adapted from the Phoenician waw. The letter was adapted, but split in two, with the first one of the same name (Ϝ) being adapted to represent [w], and the second one being Upsilon (), which was originally adapted to represent , later fronted, becoming . In Latin, a stemless variant shape of the upsilon was borrowed in early times as U, taking the form of modern-day V — either directly from the Western Greek alphabet or from the Etruscan alphabet as an intermediary — to represent the same sound, as well as the consonantal , num — originally spelled NVM — was pronounced and via was pronounced . From the 1st century AD on, depending on Vulgar Latin dialect, consonantal developed into (kept in Spanish), then later to . During the late Middle Ages, two minuscule forms developed, which were both used for or the vowel . The pointed form ⟨v⟩ was written at the beginning of a word, while a rounded form ⟨u⟩ was used in the middle or end, regardless of sound. So whereas 'valour' and 'excuse' appeared as in modern printing, 'have' and 'upon' were printed 'haue' and 'vpon', respectively. The first recorded use of ⟨u⟩ and ⟨v⟩ as distinct letters is in a Gothic alphabet from 1386, where ⟨v⟩ preceded ⟨u⟩. Printers eschewed capital ⟨U⟩ in favor of ⟨V⟩ into the 17th century and the distinction between the two letters was not fully accepted by the French Academy until 1762. The rounded variant became the modern-day version of U and its former pointed form became V. ==Pronunciation and use== Pronunciations of Uu Languages in italics do not use the Latin alphabet; the table refers to latinizations Language Dialect(s) Pronunciation (IPA) Environment Notes Afrikaans Chinese Standard Chinese /u/ After the Pinyin consonants , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , In Pinyin /y/ After the Pinyin consonants , , , .

There are "long" and "short" pronunciations. Short , found originally in closed syllables, most commonly represents (as in 'duck'), though it retains its old pronunciation after labial consonants in some words (as in 'put') and occasionally elsewhere (as in 'sugar'). Long , found originally in words of French origin (the descendant of Old English long u was respelled as ), most commonly represents (as in 'mule'), reducing to after (as in 'rule'), (as in 'June') and sometimes (or optionally) after (as in 'lute'), and after additional consonants in American English (see do–dew merger). (After , have assimilated to in some words) In a few words, short represents other sounds, such as in 'business' and in 'bury'. The letter is used in the digraphs , (various pronunciations, but usually /aʊ/), and with the value of "long u" in , , and in a few words (as in 'fruit'). It often has the sound before a vowel in the sequences (as in 'quick'), (as in 'anguish'), and (as in 'suave'), though it is silent in final -que (as in 'unique') and in many words with (as in 'guard'). Additionally, the letter is used in text messaging, Internet and other written slang to denote 'you', by virtue of both being pronounced . One thing to note is that certain varieties of the English language (i.e. British English, Canadian English, etc.) use the letter U in words such as colour, labour, valour, etc.; however, in American English the letter is not used and said words mentioned are spelled as color and so on. It is the thirteenth most frequently used letter in the English language, with a frequency of about 2.8% in words. ===Other languages=== In most languages that use the Latin alphabet, represents the close back rounded vowel or a similar vowel. In French orthography the letter represents the close front rounded vowel (); is represented by . In Dutch and Afrikaans, it represents either , or a near-close near-front rounded vowel (); likewise, the phoneme is represented by . In Welsh orthography the letter can represent a long close front unrounded vowel () or short near-close near-front unrounded vowel () in Southern dialects. In Northern dialects, the corresponding long and short vowels are a long close central unrounded vowel () and a short lowered close central unrounded vowel (), respectively. and are represented by . ==Other uses== The symbol 'U' is the chemical symbol for uranium. In the context of Newtonian mechanics 'U' is the symbol for the potential energy of a system. 'u' is the symbol for the atomic mass unit and 'U' is the symbol for one enzyme unit. In the International Phonetic Alphabet, the close back rounded vowel is represented by the lower case ⟨u⟩. U is also the source of the mathematical symbol ∪, representing a union. It is used mainly for Venn diagrams and geometry. It is used as for micro- in metric measurements as a replacement for the Greek letter μ (mu), of which it is a graphic approximation when that Greek letter is not available, as in "`um`" for μm (micrometer). Some universities, such as the University of Miami and the University of Utah, are locally known as "The U". U (or sometimes RU) is a standard height unit of measure in rack units, with each U equal to . U is also used the letter in the coat of arms/flag of the Ustaše. U is an honorific in Burmese. ==Related characters== ===Ancestors, descendants and siblings=== *𐤅: Semitic letter Waw, from which the following symbols originally derive ** υ : Greek letter Upsilon, from which U derives ***V v : Latin letter V, descended from U ****W w : Latin letter W, descended from V/U ***Y y : Latin letter Y, also descended from Upsilon ***У у : Cyrillic letter U, which also derives from Upsilon ***Ү ү : Cyrillic letter Ue **Ϝ ϝ : Greek letter Digamma ***F f : Latin letter F, derived from Digamma *IPA-specific symbols related to U: *Uralic Phonetic Alphabet-specific symbols related to U: ** ** ** ** ** ** ** *Teuthonista phonetic transcription-specific symbols related to U: ** ** ** ** ** *ᶸ : Modifier letter small capital u is used for phonetic transcription *Ꞿ ꞿ : Glottal U, used in the transliteration of Ugaritic *U with diacritics: Ŭ ŭ Ʉ ʉ ᵾ ᶶ Ꞹ ꞹ Ụ ụ Ü ü Ǜ ǜ Ǘ ǘ Ǚ ǚ Ǖ ǖ Ṳ ṳ Ú ú Ù ù Û û Ṷ ṷ Ǔ ǔ Ȗ ȗ Ű ű Ŭ ŭ Ư ư Ứ ứ Ừ ừ Ử ử Ự ự Ữ Ữ Ủ ủ Ū ū Ū̀ ū̀ Ū́ ū́ Ṻ ṻ Ū̃ ū̃ Ũ ũ Ṹ ṹ Ṵ ṵ ᶙ Ų ų Ų́ ų́ Ų̃ ų̃ Ȕ ȕ Ů ů ** and are used in the Mazahua language and feature a bar diacritic ===Ligatures and abbreviations=== *∪ : Union *∩ : Intersection, an upside-down upper case "U" ==Computing codes== : 1 ==Other representations== ==References== ==External links== * * * Category:Vowel letters Category:ISO basic Latin letters

U (У у; italics: У у) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It commonly represents the close back rounded vowel , somewhat like the pronunciation of in "boot" or rule. The forms of the Cyrillic letter U are similar to the lowercase of the Latin letter Y (Y y; Y y). == History == Historically, Cyrillic U evolved as a specifically East Slavic short form of the digraph used in ancient Slavic texts to represent . The digraph was itself a direct loan from the Greek alphabet, where the combination (omicron-upsilon) was also used to represent . Later, the o was removed, leaving the modern upsilon-only form. Consequently, the form of the letter is derived from Greek upsilon , which was parallelly also taken over into the Cyrillic alphabet in another form, as Izhitsa . (The letter Izhitsa was removed from the Russian alphabet in the orthography reform of 1917/19.) It is normally romanised as "u", but in Kazakh, it is romanised as "w". In the Cyrillic numeral system, the Cyrillic letter U had a value of 400. ==In other languages== In Tuvan the Cyrillic letter can be written as a double vowel. In certain languages, U is used to mark labialization. ==Related letters and other similar characters== *Υ υ : Greek letter Upsilon *U u : Latin letter U *Y y : Latin letter Y *Ў ў : Cyrillic letter Short U, used in Belarusian, Dungan,However, many Dungan books are set using Ӯ, with macron, instead of Ў, with breve, like the Dungan- Russian dictionary (1968). There is no ambiguity since it is the only У-with- a-diacritic in Dungan. It is used in Dungan syllables for which pinyin would use -u except in those with labial consonants (in du, ' nu, lu, gu, hu, zu, ru, etc. but not bu or mu) Siberian Eskimo (Yuit), Uzbek *Ӯ ӯ : Cyrillic letter U with macron, used in Tajik and Carpatho-Rusyn *Ӱ ӱ : Cyrillic letter U with diaeresis, used in Altai (Oyrot), Khakas, Gagauz, Khanty, Mari *Ӳ ӳ : Cyrillic letter U with double acute, used in Chuvash *Ү ү : Cyrillic letter straight U, used in Mongolian, Kazakh, Tatar, Bashkir, Dungan and other languages *Ұ ұ : Cyrillic letter Straight U with stroke, used in Kazakh *Ꭹ Ꮍ : The syllables gi and mu of the Cherokee syllabary; Ꭹ (gi) notably appearing in the Cherokee self-designation ᏣᎳᎩ (Tsalagi) *ע: The Hebrew letter Ayin *У̊: Cyrillic letter U with ring,used in shugnhi orthography. ==Computing codes== ==References== ==External links== * * Category:Vowel letters
U is a vowel of Indic abugidas. In modern Indic scripts, U is derived from the early "Ashoka" Brahmi letter 13px|ng after having gone through the Gupta letter 13px. As an Indic vowel, U comes in two normally distinct forms: 1) as an independent letter, and 2) as a vowel sign for modifying a base consonant. Bare consonants without a modifying vowel sign have the inherent "A" vowel. ==Āryabhaṭa numeration== Aryabhata used Devanagari letters for numbers, very similar to the Greek numerals, even after the invention of Indian numerals. The उ sign ु was used to modify a consonant's value , but the vowel letter did not have an inherent value by itself. ==Historic U== There are three different general early historic scripts - Brahmi and its variants, Kharoṣṭhī, and Tocharian, the so-called slanting Brahmi. U as found in standard Brahmi, 13px|U was a simple geometric shape, with variations toward more flowing forms by the Gupta 13px|U. Like all Brahmic scripts, Tocharian U 18px|U has an accompanying vowel mark for modifying a base consonant. In Kharoṣṭhī, the only independent vowel letter is for the inherent A. All other independent vowels, including U are indicated with vowel marks added to the letter A. ===Brahmi U=== The Brahmi letter U 13px|U, is probably derived from the altered Aramaic Waw 13px, and is thus related to the modern Latin F, V, U, W, Y and Greek Upsilon. Several identifiable styles of writing the Brahmi U can be found, most associated with a specific set of inscriptions from an artifact or diverse records from an historic period.Evolutionary chart, Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal Vol 7, 1838 As the earliest and most geometric style of Brahmi, the letters found on the Edicts of Ashoka and other records from around that time are normally the reference form for Brahmi letters, with vowel marks not attested until later forms of Brahmi back-formed to match the geometric writing style. Brahmi U historic forms Ashoka (3rd-1st c. BCE) Girnar (~150 BCE) Kushana (~150-250 CE) Gujarat (~250 CE) Gupta (~350 CE) 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px ===Tocharian U=== The Tocharian letter 25px|U is derived from the Brahmi 13px|U. Unlike some of the consonants, Tocharian vowels do not have a Fremdzeichen form. Tocharian consonants with U vowel marks Ku Khu Gu Ghu Cu Chu Ju Jhu Nyu Ṭu Ṭhu Ḍu Ḍhu Ṇu 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px Tu Thu Du Dhu Nu Pu Phu Bu Bhu Mu Yu Ru Lu Vu 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px 37px Śu Ṣu Su Hu 37px 37px 37px 37px ===Kharoṣṭhī U=== The Kharoṣṭhī letter U is indicated with the vowel mark 15px|U. As an independent vowel, U is indicated by adding the vowel marks to the independent vowel letter A 15px|A. ==Devanagari U== U (उ) is a vowel of the Devanagari abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter 13px|U, after having gone through the Gupta letter 13px|U. Letters that derive from it are the Gujarati letter ઉ, and the Modi letter 𑘄. ===Devanagari-using languages=== The Devanagari script is used to write the Hindi language, Sanskrit and the majority of Indo-Aryan languages. In most of these languages, उ is pronounced as . Like all Indic scripts, Devanagari vowels come in two forms: an independent vowel form for syllables that begin with a vowel sound, and a vowel sign attached to base consonant to override the inherent /ə/ vowel. ==Bengali u== U (উ) is a vowel of the Bengali abugida. It is derived from the Siddhaṃ letter 13px|U, and is marked by a similar horizontal head line, but less geometric shape, than its Devanagari counterpart, उ. ===Bengali script-using languages=== The Bengali script is used to write several languages of eastern India, notably the Bengali language and Assamese. In most languages, উ is pronounced as . Like all Indic scripts, Bengali vowels come in two forms: an independent vowel form for syllables that begin with a vowel sound, and a vowel sign attached to base consonant to override the inherent /ɔ/ vowel. ==Gujarati U== U (ઉ) is a vowel of the Gujarati abugida. It is derived from the Devanagari U 13px|u, and ultimately the Brahmi letter 13px|u. ===Gujarati-using languages=== The Gujarati script is used to write the Gujarati and Kutchi languages. In both languages, ઉ is pronounced as . Like all Indic scripts, Gujarati vowels come in two forms: an independent vowel form for syllables that begin with a vowel sound, and a vowel sign attached to base consonant to override the inherent /ə/ vowel. In addition to the standard vowel sign, U forms a unique ligature when combined with the consonant R: * ર (r) + ઉ (u) gives the ligature ru: 100px ==Javanese U== ==Telugu U== U (ఉ) is a vowel of the Telugu abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter 13px|U. It is closely related to the Kannada letter ಉ. Like in other Indic scripts, Telugu vowels have two forms: and independent letter for word and syllable-initial vowel sounds, and a vowel sign for changing the inherent "a" of Telugu consonant letters. Vowel signs in Telugu can interact with a base consonant in one of three ways: 1) the vowel sign touches or sits adjacent to the base consonant without modifying the shape of either 2) the vowel sign sits directly above the consonant, replacing its v-shaped headline, 3) the vowel sign and consonant interact, forming a ligature. thumb|center|550px|Telugu U vowel sign on క, ఖ, గ, ఘ & ఙ: Ku, Khu, Gu, Ghu and Ngu. As a right-side attaching vowel mark, it does not alter the shape of the underlying consonant, although there are variants of the vowel mark that attach in different ways. ==Malayalam U== U (ഉ) is a vowel of the Malayalam abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter 13px|U, via the Grantha letter x15px|U u. Like in other Indic scripts, Malayalam vowels have two forms: an independent letter for word and syllable-initial vowel sounds, and a vowel sign for changing the inherent "a" of consonant letters. Vowel signs in Malayalam usually sit adjacent to its base consonant - below, to the left, right, or both left and right, but are always pronounced after the consonant sound. Some vowel signs, such as U, can also form a ligature with some consonants, although this is much more common in old-style paḻaya lipi texts than in the modern reformed paḻaya lipi orthography. thumb|center|550px|Malayalam U vowel sign on ക, ഖ, ഗ, ഘ, & ങ: Ku, Khu, Gu, Ghu and Ngu in paḻaya lipi. ==Odia U== thumb|Odia independent vowel and vowel sign U. U (ଉ) is a vowel of the Odia abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter 13px|U, via the Siddhaṃ letter x15px|U u. Like in other Indic scripts, Odia vowels have two forms: an independent letter for word and syllable- initial vowel sounds, and a vowel sign for changing the inherent "a" of consonant letters. Vowel signs in Odia usually sit adjacent to its base consonant - below, to the left, right, or both left and right, but are always pronounced after the consonant sound. No base consonants are altered in form when adding a vowel sign, and there are no consonant+vowel ligatures in Odia. ==Kaithi U== U (𑂇) is a vowel of the Kaithi abugida. It ultimately arose from the Brahmi letter 13px|U, via the Siddhaṃ letter x15px|U U. Like in other Indic scripts, Kaithi vowels have two forms: an independent letter for word and syllable-initial vowel sounds, and a vowel sign for changing the inherent "a" of consonant letters. Vowel signs in Kaithi usually sit adjacent to its base consonant - below, to the left, right, or both left and right, but are always pronounced after the consonant sound. No base consonants are altered in form when adding a vowel sign, and there are no consonant+vowel ligatures in Kaithi. ==Comparison of U== The various Indic scripts are generally related to each other through adaptation and borrowing, and as such the glyphs for cognate letters, including U, are related as well. ==Character encodings of U== Most Indic scripts are encoded in the Unicode Standard, and as such the letter U in those scripts can be represented in plain text with unique codepoint. U from several modern-use scripts can also be found in legacy encodings, such as ISCII. ==References== Category:Indic letters
U was a streetcar line in Los Angeles, California. Also referred to as the University Line, it provided service to the University of Southern California. ==History== The Los Angeles Consolidated Electric Railway University Line dates to November 12, 1891, when the Los Angeles Consolidated Electric Railway began operating on tracks run down McClintock Avenue. The route initially terminated at the Los Angeles Santa Fe station. The line came under the ownership of Los Angeles Railway Company in 1895 and was rerouted in Downtown, terminating at Spring and West 2nd Street. In 1910, the route was combined with trackage built by the Los Angeles and Redondo Railway Company along South Central Avenue, creating a "U" shaped route between Central Alameda and USC via Downtown. At the university end, tracks split to three branches: west on 39th to Western, east on 39th to the entrance to Agricultural Park (now Exposition Park), and south to Dalton Avenue and West 45th Street. The Agricultural Park segment was removed from the line in February 1915 and the Dalton segment was rerouted to terminate at Vernon Avenue and Arlington Avenue. As part of the 1920 rerouting scheme, the line operated as the university and Central Avenue Line which had three branches. These services were designated as the "U" line in 1921. The remaining 39th Street branch line was abandoned on October 5, 1941, and the service was converted to bus operation on August 3, 1947. Segments of the line were absorbed into other routes, the 3 and F, while tracks on McClintock, 32nd, Hoover, Union, 23rd and Estrella were removed. ==Sources== ==External lists== * U Line Archives — Pacific Electric Railway Historical Society * Category:Los Angeles Railway routes Category:Railway services introduced in 1912 Category:1912 establishments in California Category:1937 disestablishments in California Category:University of Southern California

"U" is a song by South Korean pop group Super Junior, and is the group's follow-up release to their debut album Twins. The single topped CD sales charts during the first several weeks after its release on June 7, 2006. "U" Tops CD Sales Charts "U" peaked at #1 on the monthly MIAK K-pop album charts and sold 91,416 copies by 2008.All sales numbers taken from the Music Industry Association of Korea. Last known sales numbers here. The song won a total of five music recognitions, being Super Junior's most successful single in the music charts until the release of "Sorry, Sorry" in March 2009. Promotional performances for the title song, "U", did not complete until September 2006. The last general performance for the song was in August 2007 in Tokyo, Japan. Since the Korean release of "U" in 2006, there has been two more releases of "U" in two different languages, Mandarin and Japanese. The Mandarin version of the single's title song "U" was released in a special Taiwan edition on June 15, 2007. On July 9, 2008, "U / Twins" was released in Japan, which included a Japanese version of "U" in the limited edition release. Super Junior-M, Super Junior's Mandopop subgroup, also released a cover of "U" on April 8, 2008, marking it the second Mandarin version and third remake of "U". In this version, however, the lyrics were changed completely from the first Mandarin version. Also, new incorporations of a new jazz swing style with new acoustic guitar arrangements and an added hip-hop dance bridge and violin bridge were added to make the song suitable for the Chinese language while keeping close to the original Korean pop vibe. ==History== Prior to "U", Super Junior was known for their member line-up, a concept very similar to Japanese girl group Morning Musume. Certain members of Super Junior's first generation were to be switched out and new members were to be added, which would form a second Super Junior generation. However, after the addition of a thirteenth member, Kyuhyun, the group ended their status as a project group and began to release productions as a group with permanent status. "U" is Kyuhyun's debut single. "U" was made available for download on May 25, 2006 via Super Junior's official website. The second track from the single, "Endless Moment", became available for download four days later. "U" had over 400 thousand downloads within five hours of release and ultimately exceeded 1.7 million downloads, crashing the server. Composed by Norwegian composer Ken Ingwersen and British musician Kevin Simm with the arrangement of Korean musician Hwang Sung-je, the song was promoted to be a song of "pure pop and dance" with contemporary R&B; influences and harmonization. The rap lyrics of the song were written by Eunhyuk, in which the rap is divided to two solos, the first half for Eunhyuk and the second half for Kibum. Donghae also rapped in the background of Kibum's solo. The song lyrics was written by Tae Hoon, who also wrote the song lyrics for another Super Junior song, Dancing Out. Several remixed versions of "U" were performed, but none of them were released as official singles. One remixed version of the song contains a dance bridge in the middle of the song right before the rap, and another version had the song completely mixed, creating a different pop vibe throughout the whole song. ==Reception== "U" became one of Super Junior's biggest hits. "U" yielded number-one spots for five consecutive weeks on two of Korea's top music programs for the first time in the group's career. The song was crowned as SBS Popular Songs' Mutizen Song of the week as soon as it was released, being the first award for the group since debut. The song then stayed as Mutizen Song for three weeks on the same program, also simultaneously grabbing two top awards from M.NET's M!Countdown for two weeks. Before promotions for "U" ended, "Dancing Out" was released on July 23, 2006 as part of SMTown's annual summer album, grabbing two awards as soon as it was released. "U" gained critical success, and Super Junior collected over seven awards in five of South Korea's top music award ceremonies as 2006 came to a close, winning Best New Group and popularity awards. "U" peaked at #1 on the monthly MIAK K-pop album charts, having sold 83,010 copies by 2007, selling more than their debut album Twins by the first half of 2007.All sales numbers taken from the Music Industry Association of Korea.

The Taiwanese edition of "U" debuted at #6 and peaked at #5 on the Five Music J-pop/K-pop Chart of Taiwan and charted in the top ten for six weeks."J-Pop/K-Pop Chart Week 40 (6 - 12 October 2006)" Five Music Chart Retrieved 12 December 2007 Since the single's release, the song "U" had won Super Junior over five notable music awards. Super Junior won their first award since their debut after the release of "U" on June 25, 2006 as the SBS Popular Songs Mutizen Song, and stayed as Mutizen song for three consecutive weeks. The single also won Super Junior the Best New Group at the prestigious M.Net/KM Music Festival on November 25, 2006. The single has since earned more awards. ==Music video== The music video for "U" contains only scenes of the Super Junior members performing their group dance. Yoona of fellow SM Entertainment group Girls' Generation provides the only female role in the music video. The four-minute video mainly consists of the thirteen members performing their choreographed dance. Much popping, sliding, and waving were used in the performance, like many of Super Junior's other street dancing techniques. Chest movements and hip movements are heavily used and the pelvic thrust is also used in the dance, which became a famous action in future "U" parody dances. The music video on SM Town's YouTube channel, originally uploaded on September 28, 2009, was remastered in high definition and in 4K on January 5, 2022. ==Track listing== ===Korea "U" single=== ===Taiwan U special edition (EP+DVD)=== # "U" (就是你) [Mandarin version] -- 3:45 # "Dancing Out" -- 3:43 # "U" (就是你) [Korean version] -- 3:45 # "Endless Moment" (無盡的時刻) -- 3:38 # "Lovely Day" (美好的一天) -- 3:02 # "U" [Instrumental] -- 3:45 # "Endless Moment" (無盡的時刻) [Instrumental] -- 3:45 # "Lovely Day" (美好的一天) [Instrumental] -- 3:45 ;DVD # "U" (就是妳) [Music video] # "Dancing Out" [Music video] # Making of "U - Music Video" [Traditional Chinese subtitles] ==Korean Release== ===Chart positions=== Charts (2006) Debut Position Peak Position MIAK (South Korea) 1 1 ===Sales=== Charts (2006) Toral sales MIAK (South Korea) +92,000 ==Japanese release== "U / Twins" is a Japanese CD single released by Super Junior to commemorate their first Japan fan-meeting at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo and to celebrate the grand opening of their official Japanese website on April 1, 2008.

The song and music video were released online in China on April 8, 2008, on the day of Super Junior-M's debut. The song, including the rap, is completely performed in Mandarin, which differs from the previous Mandarin version done by Super Junior, where the rap segment is performed in Korean. Although the lyrics convey a similar meaning, the lyrics of the two Mandarin versions are different. "U" is one of the twelve tracks featured in Super Junior-M's debut studio album, Me, which was released in April 2008 in China and South Korea, and later throughout Asia in May 2008. Super Junior-M's modified version of "U" contains heavier bass instruments, a closer musical approach to hip hop and jazz. The song also has extra music bridges, such as a violin bridge performed by Henry (reminiscent of Super Junior's Don't Don) and an added dance bridge, which makes the song almost a minute longer than the original Korean release. Super Junior member Yesung appears in the song as a stock vocal as his parts are originally from the original Korean version of "U". The dance choreography for Super Junior-M's "U" is also completely changed from the original. The choreography contains a variety of styles, such as different elements of street dancing and jazz dance to complement the maturity in the song, which slightly differs the image from the main group. The music video features the now f(x) member and leader Victoria, with her face dominating the mirrors, and the Super Junior-M members searching for her presence. ===Musical personnel of Super Junior-M's "U"=== *Han Geng - vocals (main, chorus, background) *Siwon - vocals (main, background) *Donghae - vocals (main, rap, background) *Kyuhyun - vocals (main, chorus, background) *Henry - vocals (main, rap, chorus, background) *Ryeowook - vocals (main, chorus, background) *Zhou Mi - vocals (main, rap, background) *Yesung - stock background vocal *Yi Zhen - Chinese lyrics *Ken Ingwersen - composition *Kevin Simms - composition *Yoo Young-jin - background vocal, arrangement == Accolades == Music program wins Program Date Inkigayo (SBS) June 25, 2006 July 9, 2006 July 16, 2006 M Countdown (Mnet) July 6, 2006 July 20, 2006 ==References== ==External links== *SM Entertainment's Official Site *Super Junior's Official Site *Super Junior Official Avex Site *Super Junior Japanese Official Site *Super Junior-M's Official Site Category:2006 singles Category:Super Junior songs Category:SM Entertainment singles Category:Korean- language songs Category:Songs written by Kevin Simm
U is a possible astronomical body detected by Chile's Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) during a survey for substellar objects in the Alpha Centauri system. In images taken on 7 July 2014 (343.5 GHz) and 2 May 2015 (445 GHz), researchers discovered a source in the far infrared located within 5.5 arcseconds of . Based on its proper motion, it was at first thought to be a part of the Alpha Centauri system. Further analysis, however, found that the object must be closer to the Solar System, and that it may be gravitationally bound to the Sun. The researchers suggest that the object may be an extreme trans-Neptunian object (ETNO) beyond , a super-Earth at around , or a very cool brown dwarf at around . The research was published on the arXiv in December 2015, but was later withdrawn pending further study. Additional observations of the detection at 343.5 GHz could not be made, whereas the detection at 445 GHz was confirmed to greater than 12σ. A single point of data, however, is insufficient for proper analysis, and further observations must be made to better determine this object's nature and its orbit. Other astronomers have expressed skepticism over this claim. Mike Brown thinks that it is statistically improbable for a new Solar System object to be accidentally observed in ALMA's extremely narrow field of view, whereas Bruce Macintosh suggests that the detections may be artifacts introduced due to ALMA's calibration methods. == References == Category:Astronomical objects discovered in 2015 Category:Scattered disc and detached objects Category:Possible dwarf planets
U was an interactive youth-oriented New Zealand television channel, owned and operated by TVNZ. The channel launched on 13 March 2011, and featured reality programming, as well as an interactive live show and music content. It replaced the now defunct TVNZ 6. Leading up to the launch of U, there were 13 days' worth of promotional videos and programming information aired to advertise the new channel. Initially, U closed down every night at midnight, playing the Goodnight Kiwi animation to signal the end of nightly broadcast. During its closedown period of 12-midnight to 12-noon, the channel looped a video of non-stop dancing with text reading U 'returns at midday'. From February 2012, the channel began broadcasting infomercials from midnight until midday, except on Saturday and Sunday mornings, when it is illegal to broadcast adverts. On Saturday and Sunday, the channel closes down as usual, with infomercials played until 6am, a graphic is displayed from 6am until midday, and then the broadcast 'returns at midday'. In April 2013, the channel launched U Late, a late night version of its flagship programme U Live, but without the music videos. It was described as late night antics and chat, live and interactive every evening. On 29 July 2013, TVNZ announced that U would cease broadcast on 31 August 2013, after two years since the channel launch. ==Pre-launch== In preparation of the launch of U, TVNZ established a Facebook page for their new channel, giving fans information and offering one person the chance to schedule a selected segment of programming on the new channel for a month (known as U TV). On the evening of 28 February 2011, TVNZ 6 was officially shut down, allowing TVNZ to air promotional material for the new channel. At 3 pm on 9 March 2011, TVNZ activated its U Live application on Facebook, which, upon the launch of the channel, would allow users to share content and have it displayed as part of the U Live TV show. ==Launch== U was launched on 13 March 2011 at 4 pm on Freeview channel 6 and Sky channel 16. The first program to air was U Live. ==Closure== TVNZ closed U on 31 August 2013 at 7 pm after two years running at a loss. TVNZ announced that time-shift channel TV2+1 would launch to replace the channel on 1 September 2013 at 7 am. The final show to screen on U was U Live with the entire crew giving a farewell message, the final song to play on U Live was 2 Times by Ann Lee. After the end credits for U Live, a message was displayed on the U channel advising viewers of the new channel number for TV One +1 and TV2+1 (now TVNZ 1 +1 and TVNZ 2 +1 respectively). The channel numbers vary for viewers of Sky, Freeview and Igloo. ==U Live== The flagship show of U was U Live, a live show which aired 4pm – 7pm daily. The show featured music, interviews, and other general interest content. Viewers were invited to participate via a Facebook application, where they could vote in polls, take part in discussions, and view the show via a live commercial and graphic free stream. Comments and polls were then selected and displayed on screen during broadcast. U Live was hosted by Rose Matafeo, Connor Nestor, Matt Gibb, Eli Matthewson and former George FM breakfast host Kirsteen MacKenzie. U Live drew many parallels to TVNZ's rival network MediaWorks' youth-oriented show Four Live, which aired on FOUR. ==U's themed nights== U had themed programming for the different days of the week, with each theme having a distinctive title. Selected programming available on each night is listed below. Day Theme Shows Monday "Guts Monday" BMX Road Fools; Airtime; Speeders Specials; Homegrown Maniacs Tuesday "Dude Tuesday" The Cool Guy Files; Rhett And Link – Commercial Kings; Tough Guy Or Chicken? Wednesday "Pash Wednesday" The Shire; Tough Love – New Orleans Thursday "Girl Thursday" Made in Chelsea; Sorority Girls; Big Rich Texas Friday "Knock Out Friday" The Exclusives; Real World – Road Rules Saturday "U Again Saturday" Repeated programming Sunday "U Go Sunday" Travelling Unplugged; Roam; Ultimate Traveller; Amazing Adventures of a Nobody * Programming until closure () ==References== Category:Defunct television channels in New Zealand Category:Television channels and stations established in 2011 Category:Television channels and stations disestablished in 2013 Category:English-language television stations in New Zealand
U is a double album, the seventh studio album overall, by the British psychedelic folk group the Incredible String Band (ISB) and was released on Elektra Records in October 1970. The majority of the material featured on the album was taken from the mixed-media production of the same name, which saw the band backed by the dancing troupe the Stone Monkey. The concept of U derived from the ISB's fascination and subsequent conversion to Scientology in 1969. Although the show, along with the songs, were seen as ambitious, U was a commercial failure for the ISB. The album managed to chart at number 183 on the Billboard 200,Whitburn, Joel; Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Albums, 1955-1996; p. 366. fairing considerably better in the UK where it peaked at number 34 on the UK Albums Charts.Chart Archive - Incredible String Band(Link redirected to OCC website) == Background == In 1969, after researching its concepts, the members of the ISB had joined the Church of Scientology, and expressed some of their changing views on their subsequent studio album, Changing Horses, later in the year. In November 1969, at the Hotel Chelsea in New York City, the ISB met two ex-members of David Medalla's kinetic art group the Exploding Galaxy, after the troupe unsuccessfully tried to negotiate a recording contract with MGM Records. Former members Malcolm Le Maistre and Rakis, as well as their newly formed dance ensemble the Stone Monkey, took residency at the ISB's commune in Glen Row to help the band, especially Robin Williamson, realise their vision for a multi-media stage act. Described as a "surreal parable in song and dance" by Williamson, U was "neither a pageant, a play, dance, theater, nor pantomime, though there were elements of all of those" in the show. For the plot, Williamson explained "the vague notion was, a soul incarnates out of nowhere, lives, and then vanishes again at the other end. Hence the idea 'U'", although the performances themselves hardly followed a coherent storyline. On 8 April 1970 the three-hour U show opened at London's Roundhouse where it ran for ten consecutive days. As many as 12 dancers accompanied the band on stage; the dancing aspect was reminiscent of the group's early performing days with the duo Mimi and Mouse. Another booking, this time for six days at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, came at the ISB's own expense, and the financial fallout forced the group to complete the shows without the Stone Monkey in a standard concert format. In an attempt to recoup the financial losses of the "U" show, record producer Joe Boyd booked the band, along with session musicians Janet Shankman, Peter Grant, and Maistre, into a San Francisco studio to record the nearly two hours of material that is featured on the double album. U was recorded in just 48 hours; Williamson recalled "We just went day and night for two days and two nights, in shifts, and finished. I can't remember what the reasons were, but we had to be done in a hurry. In a way, it seemed to fit". Regardless of the time constraints, the album still contained characteristically complex instrumentals and overdubbing. The music on the album was taken from the songs the band performed on the U tour, showcasing a staggering diversity of psychedelia, folk rock, and traditional folk arrangements long associated with the group, as well as new, highly progressive elements. ==Release== U was released in October 1970 on the Elektra label (catalogue item 7E-2002 in the US, catalogue item 2665 001 in the UK). In the US, the album peaked at number 183 on the Billboard 200, remaining on the charts for three weeks, and on the UK Albums Charts it managed to reach number 34 during a two-week stay. Also, in Melody Maker magazine the album charted in the top 20, before dropping off in a few weeks. The album's cover by Shankman was literal interpretation of the show as it featured a mult-colored "U". Inside the gatefold sleeve were photographs depicting the band and the Stone Monkeys in the midst of a performance of the "U" show. ==Track listing== ==Personnel== "El Wool Suite": * Mike Heron - sitar; * Robin Williamson - gimbri, flute, clay drums; * Rose Simpson - tabla, guitar "The Juggler's Song": * Robin Williamson - vocal, guitar, bass, mandolin; * Licorice McKechnie - vocal "Time": * Robin Williamson - vocal, 12-string guitar, mandolin "Bad Sadie Lee": * Janet Shankman - vocal; * Mike Heron - piano, vocal; * Robin Williamson - fiddle, Jew's harp, washboard, vocal; * Licorice McKechnie - vocal; * Rose Simpson - vocal; * Peter Grant - banjo "Queen of Love": * Robin Williamson - vocal, guitar, bass; * Janet Shankman - harpsichord; * Tom Constanten - arranger "Partial Belated Overture": * Mike Heron - piano, guitar; * Robin Williamson - shanai, fiddle; * Rose Simpson - bass "Light in Time of Darkness / Glad to See You": * Mike Heron - vocal, piano; * Rose Simpson - bass "Walking Along with You": * Rose Simpson - vocal; * Mike Heron - guitar, vocal; * Robin Williamson - bass "Hirem Pawnitof / Fairies' Hornpipe": * Mike Heron - vocal, guitar, mandolin; * Robin Williamson - fiddle; * Licorice McKechnie - spoons; * Rose Simpson - bass "Bridge Theme": * Mike Heron - guitar; * Robin Williamson - shanai, soondri; * Licorice McKechnie - drums; * Rose Simpson - bass "Bridge Song": * Licorice McKechnie - vocal; * Mike Heron - guitar, vocal; * Robin Williamson - lead guitar, vocal; * Rose Simpson - bass, vocal "Astral Plane Theme": * Robin Williamson - guitar "Invocation": * Robin Williamson - Greg Heat's voice sitar "Robot Blues": * Robin Williamson - vocal, piano "Puppet Song": * Robin Williamson - vocal, guitar "Cutting the Strings": * Robin Williamson - vocal, guitar, mandolin, gimbri, fiddle, flute; * Licorice McKechnie - vocal; * Mike Heron - sitar "I Know You": * Licorice McKechnie - vocal, guitar "Rainbow": * Mike Heron - vocal, piano, organ, guitar, bass; * Robin Williamson - drums, vocals, soondri, fiddle, flute, mandolin; * Licorice McKechnie - vocals, drums; * Rose Simpson - vocals, bass; * Mal and Malcolm - vocals ==Charts== Chart Entry date Peak position Weeks charted UK Albums Chart 31 October 1970 34 2 The Billboard 200 23 January 1971 183 3 ==References== Category:1970 albums Category:The Incredible String Band albums Category:Albums produced by Joe Boyd Category:Elektra Records albums Category:Warner Music Group albums
The cuneiform U sign is found in both the 14th century BC Amarna letters and the Epic of Gilgamesh. It can be used for the alphabetic u, instead of the more common 2nd u, (ú). It has two other uses, commonly. It can be used for the number 10 (especially the Amarna letters from Tushratta of Mitanni, or Burna-Buriash II the king of Babylon), but its probable greater use is for the conjunction, u, with any of the conjunction meanings: and, but, else, etc. Of the three u's, by graphemic analysis (Buccellati, 1979), the commonness is as follows:Buccellati, Giorgio, (Ugarit-Forschungen 11, 1979). Comparative Graphemic Analysis of Old Babylonian and Western Akkadian, pp. 95-100, Graph, p. 96. :Ù (cuneiform), conjunction only (but also rare, for alphabetic "u") :ú (cuneiform), alphabetic 'u' :u (cuneiform), alphabetic (minor), 10, conjunction (highest use) Both Ù (cuneiform) and ú are in the top 25 most used signs,Buccellati, (Ugarit-Forschungen 11, 1979). Comparative Graphemic Analysis of Old Babylonian and Western Akkadian, pp. 95-100, Graph, p. 96. but E (cuneiform) and "u (cuneiform)" are not; other vowels (or combination) in the 25 are: a (cuneiform), i (cuneiform), and ia (cuneiform), (which has a secondary use as suffix, "-mine", or "my", thus in top 25 most used signs). Suffix "iYa" is used in the Middle East\Southwest Asia at present day to end placenames, or other names: "My Xxxxx". ==Amarna letters uses== The use of u for numeral 10 has been explained above. It is used in the letters from Tushratta, speaking of the ancestral relations with former father kings: ...my father loved your father (the Pharaoh) 10 times more, and I have 10 times more love now. May our relations... be forever "inter-related". (Amarna letter EA 19, 2nd paragraph, setting up the letter of a 13 paragraph letter, topics about daughter for Pharaoh's wife, love, gold, etc.) Amarna letter EA 252, Labaya to Pharaoh, titled: Sparing One's Enemies,Moran, 1987, 1992. The Amarna Letters. EA 252, Sparing One's Enemies, pp. 305-306. explains his actions in defending 'his position', after cities have been overtaken. He states in idiomatic iconography: "....my parts are eaten!..(.U.)And..I am slandered!. He continues in parable form: ".....if an ant is attacked (pinched), should it just sit (take it), or bite (the) hand back!?".... He continues to then discuss the men who have taken a city, (and a cult statue), and defends his past, and future actions. ==Partial list of signs beginning with wedge (u)== Partial list of signs beginning with u, from the Epic of Gilgamesh (Parpola, 1971), and the Amarna letters: * Cuneiform-u--Sign No. 1--- 100x24px|-(conjunction use, and "10"; occasionally for u) * Cuneiform-AMAR, ṣur, zur--Sign No. 2---100x24px|; Sumerogram: See!-(AMAR) (Akkadian, "amāru")-(Note: minus the vertical stroke) * Cuneiform-di--Sign No. 3--- 100x24px| * Cuneiform-ki--Sign No. 4---100x24px| * Cuneiform-mi-(Sign 5) * Cuneiform-ši, lim, or IGI ("in 'face' of", "before" Sumerogram)--Sign No. 6--- 175x42px|--(Abdi-Ashirta), Abdi-A-Ši-iR-Ta, (wedge-sign, 4th sign) * Cuneiform-u--Sign No. u-1---100x24px| * Cuneiform-ú--Sign No. u-2--- 100x24px|-(approximate: only 3 verticals for ú, (the common alphabetic u)) * Cuneiform-Ù-(u-3)--Sign No. 7---100x24px| ** (With an added horizontal, 100x24px|,after the left vertical) Also: * Cuneiform-ar, (Shuwardata of Amarna letter EA 282) * Cuneiform-nim-(nem, nim, num, and Sumerograms NIM, NUM) (EA 34) == See also == * Winkelhaken – one of the five basic wedge elements used in Akkadian cuneiform, identical to u. ==References== === Citations === ===Bibliography=== *Buccellati, Giorgio, (Ugarit-Forschungen 11, 1979).

"U + Me (Love Lesson)" is a song by American singer Mary J. Blige from her 13th studio album, Strength of a Woman (2017). It was released on February 17, 2017, as the album's second single. Brandon "B.A.M." Hodge produced "U + Me (Love Lesson)" and co-wrote it with Charles Hinshaw, David D. Brown, and Mary J. Blige. It is a soul ballad, and its lyrics revolve around a breakup. Music critics identified its message as similar to that of Blige's previous single, "Thick of It" (2016). "U + Me (Love Lesson)" received positive reviews from critics for its composition and lyrics. The single charted on several Billboard charts, peaking at number one on the Adult R&B; Songs chart. Blige promoted the song through live performances. ==Recording and release== Brandon "B.A.M." Hodge produced "U + Me (Love Lesson)" and co-wrote it with Charles Hinshaw, David D. Brown, and Mary J. Blige. Hinshaw also provided background vocals. Jaymz Hardy-Martin III recorded and mixed the track, and David Kim worked as an assistant mixer. The vocals were recorded by Marshall Bryant, with assistance from Dexter Randall. The single was recorded at Windmark Recording in Santa Monica, California, engineered at the Marvin's Room, and mixed at the Chalice Recording Studio—both in Los Angeles. Capitol released "U + Me (Love Lesson)" as a digital download on February 17, 2017. It was the second single from Blige's 13th studio album, Strength of a Woman (2017). On May 2, 2017, she sang it at the iHeartRadio Theater in New York City. On May 19, 2017, Blige performed the song as part of a medley during Today's Citi Concert series. ==Composition and lyrics== Lasting four minutes and 59-seconds, "U + Me (Love Lesson)" is a midtempo soul ballad. Michael Saponara of Vibe wrote that it contained elements of soul music, and Andy Kellman of AllMusic interpreted the composition as "a machine-soul ballad". Ammar Kalia of Clash described the instrumental as composed of "trap-influenced sub-bass and heavier drum programming", and Andy Gill of The Independent wrote that the song shared the same "skittish modern beats" as Blige's single "Love Yourself" (2017). Kyle Eustice of HipHopDX described the single as a "sultry breakup ballad" with lyrics referencing Blige's divorce from Kendu Issacs. Eustice wrote that the song revolves around "bouncing back from a devastating blow". Music critics compared the song's message to that of Blige's previous single "Thick of It" (2016). Andy Kellman felt that it "could not have been made at any other point in Blige's career". Lyrics include: "The lies you told to me make it easy for me to leave, You plus me wasn't the best thing" and "And I just can't deny the fact / we don't belong together / Guess it ain't the real thing." She talks about a relationship that does not add up to a happy ending singing: "You plus me was a love lesson / In too deep with our imperfections." Blige also sings about getting over a breakup with the lyrics: "Gotta keep on pushin' / Love myself through the hard times." ==Reception== The song received a positive critical response. Praising how listeners could relate to the song's lyrics, a Jet writer said that Blige had "another vocal peak". Kylie Eustice wrote that Blige "turned [her] pain into art", and Michael Saponara described the song as "a therapeutic anthem to anyone going through a bad break up or tough times with a loved one". Ammar Kalia enjoyed how the single differed from the "orchestral swells" typically used in Blige's music, and referred to it as "refreshing". Soul Bounce's D-Money commended the song for its "undeniable head nod factor and empowering lyrics". "U + Me (Love Lesson)" charted on several Billboard charts. The song peaked at number 18 on the R&B; Songs Billboard chart on May 27, 2017, and stayed on the chart for five weeks. It reached number 11 on the R&B;/Hip-Hop Airplay Billboard chart on May 20, 2017, and remained on the chart for 20 weeks.

"U + Ur Hand" is a song by American pop singer Pink. It was lined up as the third single from her fourth studio album I'm Not Dead (2006). It was released on August 28, 2006, and ignited controversy due to its explicit lyrical content and strong language. The song was written by Pink, Max Martin and Dr. Luke, the same trio who wrote Pink's previous hit single "Who Knew" and the song is also co-written by Rami Yacoub. The two songs eventually became Pink's first two singles to receive Platinum certifications from Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the first two among a series of hits by Martin and Dr. Luke that followed, including Pink's first solo number-one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, "So What". "U + Ur Hand" is credited for re- energizing Pink's career in the US and sales of I'm Not Dead in the country, as the album re-entered the Billboard 200 with the song's success, after weeks out of the chart. It peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Pink's seventh top-ten hit on the chart, and was ranked number 29 on Billboards year-end chart for 2007. The single performed well internationally, peaking atop the radio charts of the Czech Republic and Hungary and reaching the top 10 in over 10 other countries. ==Writing and controversy== Pink wrote the song with Max Martin, Luke Gottwald, and Rami, with a lyrical focus on mocking the men who would flirt with her in clubs. The title refers to the line "looks like it's just me and my hand tonight", which was a phrase she had heard guys using. The song has often been compared to the Veronicas' song "4ever" due to similarities, which are attributed to the fact both songs are written by the same songwriters. The song caused controversy in the U.S. because of its "racy" references to masturbation, and consequently some radio stations refused to play it. Pink and her publicist further stated that she was prohibited from singing "U + Ur Hand" on the U.S. television show American Idol because of such references.Baldacci, Leslie. "Shocking pink" .

According to Tom Carraba, Zomba Label Group general manager and executive vice president of sales and marketing, the "patience" of radio stations, the "great" music video for the single and Pink's participation in Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveShow tour was responsible for the increase in popularity of "U + Ur Hand", which consequently led to renewed interest in the album. Carraba said the single "is the vehicle that will reignite the U.S. marketplace. We think we have a number-one record on our hands."

U 47 – Kapitänleutnant Prien () is a 1958 black-and-white German war film portraying the World War II career of the U-boat captain Günther Prien. It stars Dieter Eppler and Sabine Sesselmann and was directed by Harald Reinl. ==Plot== The film begins shortly after the outbreak of World War II when Günther Prien reports to the commander of the U-boat force, Karl Dönitz. Dönitz orders Prien as commander of U-47 to infiltrate the Royal Navy's primary base at Scapa Flow to inflict as much damage as possible. Prien accomplishes his mission and receives a hero's welcome on his return.Cooke & Silberman 2010, p. 62. Following these events, pastor Kille, a former schoolmate of Prien, approaches Prien in need of help. Kille offers refuge to victims of Nazi oppression. Prien initially declines, stating he is a soldier and not involved in politics. The attempt by Kille's sister Alwine, who is engaged to Prien's first officer Thomas Birkeneck, also fails to convince Prien. As the war progresses, Prien is plagued by his bad conscience, asking himself if his attitude is correct. A dramatic incident occurs following the sinking of a freighter. U-47 rescues two survivors. These turn out to be German refugees who are trying to escape from Nazi Germany. The two chose to remain at sea over the prospect of returning to Germany. Prien finally believes, that as a figure of public interest, he could influence and change something for the better. He goes to visit the imprisoned pastor Kille. Prien promises him help, not realizing that their conversation is overheard. Thus Prien himself attracts the attention of the Gestapo, the secret police.Cooke & Silberman 2010, p. 63. The visit remains without consequences for Prien. U-47 is sunk on its next war patrol. Prien and his cook (Der Smut) are rescued by a British ship, which is then sunk by another German submarine under the command of Prien's former first officer, Birkeneck. Prien's hat is retrieved from the sea putting Birkeneck in a state of shock. Subsequently, he fails to give the order to dive on time and his boat is sunk by attacking enemy aircraft. ==Historical accuracy== The story is loosely based on Prien's combat record and command of submarine . His most famous exploit was the sinking of the British battleship at anchor in the Home Fleet's anchorage in Scapa Flow.Busch and Röll 2003, pp. 15–20. His achievements as U-boat commander were highly idolized by Joseph Goebbels' Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.Ossmann-Mausch 2006, p. 151. Every character depicted in the film, except for Prien and Admiral Dönitz, who is not mentioned by name in the film, is fictitious. Prien's portrayal as an active member of the German resistance is also fictitious. U-47s destruction and Prien's death is another invention of the movie makers. To date, there is no official record of what happened to the U-47 or her 45 crewmen.Busch and Röll 2003, p. 20.

U Andromedae is a variable star in the constellation of Andromeda, at a distance of approximately . It is a star of spectral type M6e and it is classified as a Mira variable. U Andromedae is the variable star designation of this star. Its brightness varies by several magnitudes with a mean period of , although the exact length of each cycle is somewhat variable. Similarly, the magnitude of each maximum and minimum varies. The mean apparent magnitude is 11.6, with a mean maximum magnitude of 9.9. The brightest recorded maxima are at magnitude 9.0, and the faintest minima at magnitude 15.0. The rise to maximum brightness is faster than the fall to minimum, taking on average 40% of the period. The large amplitude, long period, and shape of the light curve mean that U Andromedae is classified as a Mira variable, a type of pulsating asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star. It was first observed to be variable by Thomas D. Anderson during 1894 and 1895. AGB stars have exhausted both hydrogen and helium in their cores and are not massive enough to fuse carbon and oxygen, so they erratically fuse helium and hydrogen shells outside the core. ==References== Category:Mira variables Category:Andromeda (constellation) 007482 Category:M-type giants Andromedae, U Category:Durchmusterung objects Category:Emission-line stars J01152971+4043082 Category:IRAS catalogue objects
