Izzo (H.O.V.A.)
"Izzo (H.O.V.A.)" (often referred to as "H to the Izzo") is the first single released by Jay-Z from his sixth album The Blueprint. It is among his most popular singles. This was the second song released off The Blueprint, after the diss track "Takeover", but the lead single from it. The song reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. It was Jay-Z's first top 10 single as a lead artist.
The song, produced by Kanye West, prominently features a sample of "I Want You Back" by The Jackson 5, the second major hit in 2001 to sample that song (after "My Baby" by Lil' Romeo).
The music video takes place in New York City with Jay-Z, Damon Dash, Biggs, & other affiliates on a Roc-A-Fella parade float which features cameo appearances from Kanye West, Destiny's Child, Trina, Eve, Nelly, and OutKast.
The song was later mashed up with Linkin Park's "In the End" for their collaborative EP, Collision Course.
Lyrics
The first verse deals with the rapper's early career as a drug dealer, including his escape from conviction. The second verse narrates his struggles with the exploitative recording industry, while in the last verse he reverts to his childhood growing up in the Marcy Houses housing projects.

Victoria and Albert Museum
The Victoria and Albert Museum (often abbreviated as the V&A), London, is the world's largest museum of decorative arts and design, housing a permanent collection of over 4.5 million objects. It was founded in 1852 and named after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The V&A is located in the Brompton district of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, in an area that has become known as "Albertopolis" because of its association with Prince Albert, the Albert Memorial and the major cultural institutions with which he was associated. These include the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the Royal Albert Hall. The museum is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Like other national British museums, entrance to the museum has been free since 2001.
The V&A covers 12.5 acres (51,000 m2) and 145 galleries. Its collection spans 5,000 years of art, from ancient times to the present day, from the cultures of Europe, North America, Asia and North Africa. The holdings of ceramics, glass, textiles, costumes, silver, ironwork, jewellery, furniture, medieval objects, sculpture, prints and printmaking, drawings and photographs are among the largest and most comprehensive in the world. The museum owns the world's largest collection of post-classical sculpture, with the holdings of Italian Renaissance items being the largest outside Italy. The departments of Asia include art from South Asia, China, Japan, Korea and the Islamic world. The East Asian collections are among the best in Europe, with particular strengths in ceramics and metalwork, while the Islamic collection is amongst the largest in the Western world.

V-2 rocket
The V-2 (German: Vergeltungswaffe 2, "Retribution Weapon 2"), technical name Aggregat-4 (A-4), was the world's first long-rangeguided ballistic missile. The missile with a liquid-propellant rocket engine was developed during the Second World War in Germany as a "vengeance weapon", designed to attack Allied cities as retaliation for the Allied bombings against German cities. The V-2 rocket also became the first artificial object to cross the boundary of space with the vertical launch of V-177 on 20 June 1944.
Beginning in September 1944, over 3,000 V-2s were launched by the German Wehrmacht against Allied targets during the war, first London and later Antwerp and Liège. According to a 2011 BBC documentary, the attacks resulted in the deaths of an estimated 9,000 civilians and military personnel, while 12,000 forced laborers and concentration camp prisoners were killed producing the weapons.
As Germany collapsed, teams from the Allied forces—the U.S., Great Britain and the Soviet Union—raced to capture key German manufacturing sites, guided missiles, rockets and jet powered aircraft. Wernher von Braun and over 100 key V-2 personnel surrendered to the Americans. Through a lengthy sequence of events, a significant portion of the original V-2 team ended up working for the US Army at the Redstone Arsenal. The US also captured enough V-2 hardware to build approximately 80 of the missiles. The Soviets gained possession of the V-2 manufacturing facilities after the war and proceeded to re-establish V-2 production and move it to the Soviet Union.

Oxybenzone
Oxybenzone or benzophenone-3 (trade names Milestab 9, Eusolex 4360, Escalol 567, KAHSCREEN BZ-3) is an organic compound. It is a white solid that is readily soluble in most organic solvents. Oxybenzone belongs to the class of aromatic ketones known as benzophenones. It is a component of many sunscreen lotions.
Structure and electronic structure
Being a conjugated molecule, oxybenzone absorbs at lower energies than many aromatic molecules. As in related compounds, the hydroxyl group is hydrogen bonded to the ketone. This interaction contributes to oxybenzone's light-absorption properties. At low temperatures, however, it is possible to observe both the phosphorescence and the triplet-triplet absorption spectrum. At 175 K the triplet lifetime is 24 ns. The short lifetime has been attributed to a fast intramolecular hydrogen transfer between the oxygen of the C=O and the OH.
Production
Oxybenzone is produced by Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzoyl chloride with 3-methoxyphenol(3-hydroxyanisole).

Properties of water
Water (H
2O) is the most abundant compound on Earth's surface, covering 70 percent of the planet. In nature, water exists in liquid, solid, and gaseous states. It is in dynamic equilibrium between the liquid and gas states at standard temperature and pressure. At room temperature, it is a tasteless and odorless liquid, nearly colorless with a hint of blue. Many substances dissolve in water and it is commonly referred to as the universal solvent. Because of this, water in nature and in use is rarely pure and some properties may vary from those of the pure substance. However, there are also many compounds that are essentially, if not completely, insoluble in water. Water is the only common substance found naturally in all three common states of matter and it is essential for all life on Earth. Water makes up 55% to 78% of the human body.

Fabergé's rare gem: Alma Pihl | V&A
The story of Alma Pihl is an unusual one. There were very few women in the goldsmith workshops in St Petersburg in the early 1900s, let alone in the position of designer. Alma's natural talent for drawing and unique eye for design resulted in some of Fabergé's most celebrated pieces of jewellery and two Imperial Easter Eggs. Ulla Tillander-Godenhielm – great-granddaughter of St Petersburg goldsmith Alexander Tillander, a supplier to the Russian imperial court – has spent many years studying the art of the St Petersburg jewellers and recounts Alma's incredible story in this film.

Secrets of the Museum
Series 1 Episode 1 of 6
Inside every museum is a hidden world, and now, cameras have been allowed behind the scenes at the world-famous Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Only a small part of the two million wonders in the collection are on display to the public. But in this new series we go behind closed doors to explore all the treasures of art, design and performance the museum has to offer.
We follow experts and conservators at work in this treasure trove of the nation’s favourite objects, as they breathe new life into fragile marvels, uncover hidden stories, and battle to keep the past alive.
In this week’s episode we follow the charming story of a hand-made children’s toy - Pumpie the elephant. Pumpie was made a hundred years ago by the Cattley family in west London. The children whose beloved stuffed toy he was made special outfits for him, painted his portrait, and took him with them on holiday. But Pumpie has suffered major moth damage over the years, and now needs urgent restoration.

This week, extraordinary new works of cutting-edge design are arriving at the museum. The V&A is planning its biggest-ever menswear exhibition, and curator Rosalind has just taken delivery of a new ensemble for the show. It’s a shiny pink lamé two-piece, made in 2017 by acclaimed young fashion designer Harris Reed, that comes complete with a cigarette burn from its past life as a party outfit.
For the new show, Rosalind is planning to pair Harris’s outfit and others with historic works of art that together will reveal how menswear has reflected changing ideas about gender down the ages. Harris Reed is a designer interested in gender fluidity, and his outfit – made to measure for himself - is in shocking pink, not a colour much associated with men in recent years. But in the past, pink was a badge of wealth and success for both sexes. Rosalind invites Harris to the National Gallery in London, where they come face to face with Jacques Cazotte, an 18th-century French colonial administrator who sat for his portrait wearing a pink silk outfit bearing striking similarities to Harris’s 2017 ensemble.
In east London, a giant new outpost of the V&A is under construction. When V&A East Storehouse opens in 2024, visitors will be able to walk amongst some of the V&A’s treasures previously hidden away in storage. But the building will also house new pieces. The museum has recently acquired its biggest-ever object, and now the team wants to display it in the middle of the Storehouse.
The new acquisition is a giant ten-tonne slice of a tower block from an east London council estate known as Robin Hood Gardens. This monolith of modernism was designed by the famous husband-and-wife architects Peter and Alison Smithson and completed in 1972. Robin Hood Gardens is being demolished, but the V&A stepped in to acquire several large chunks of the façade. Now they hope to reassemble these giant concrete components inside the new Storehouse and hang the entire edifice 15 metres in the air. If the hugely ambitious plan is a success, visitors will be able to get a sense of the estate’s most famous feature – the ‘streets in the sky’, which the Smithsons hoped would replicate the terraced streets of the old East End.
The V&A’s old Museum of Childhood is also undergoing a major revamp – it’s being transformed into a new museum to be known as Young V&A. But even while the site is closed for its makeover, curators are still acquiring new pieces, with many embodying cutting-edge design. Curators Kristian and Trish have just acquired a bionic arm, a robotic prosthesis made from 3D-printed plastic and designed to help children and young people with disabilities. The Hero Arm, as it’s known, was created with input from young people themselves. Trish goes to meet 16-year-old social media influencer Tilly to find out how she’s contributed to the bionic arm’s special features.
At the V&A’s Wedgwood Collection in Stoke-on-Trent, archivist Lucy and curator Catrin are taking delivery of a mid-century treasure that shows off the Wedgwood company’s tradition of working with the most cutting-edge artists of their day. Eric Ravilious’s travel tea set, which went into production in the early 1950s, celebrates planes, trains and hot-air balloons, amongst other forms of transport. Ravilious designed the set in 1938, but production was put on hold when the Second World War broke out. Ravilious himself became a war artist during the conflict, but in 1942 he failed to return from an RAF mission over Iceland.
Today, Ravilious’s granddaughter Ella, who herself works as a curator for the V&A, is writing a new book about her grandfather, whose reputation has grown and grown in recent years. Ella travels to Stoke to see the Wedgwood factory’s closely guarded pattern books, which reveal the top-secret process by which Ravilious’s designs became a mass-produced tea set.

This week, extraordinary new works of cutting-edge design are arriving at the museum. The V&A is planning its biggest-ever menswear exhibition, and curator Rosalind has just taken delivery of a new ensemble for the show. It’s a shiny pink lamé two-piece, made in 2017 by acclaimed young fashion designer Harris Reed, that comes complete with a cigarette burn from its past life as a party outfit.
For the new show, Rosalind is planning to pair Harris’s outfit and others with historic works of art that together will reveal how menswear has reflected changing ideas about gender down the ages. Harris Reed is a designer interested in gender fluidity, and his outfit – made to measure for himself - is in shocking pink, not a colour much associated with men in recent years. But in the past, pink was a badge of wealth and success for both sexes. Rosalind invites Harris to the National Gallery in London, where they come face to face with Jacques Cazotte, an 18th-century French colonial administrator who sat for his portrait wearing a pink silk outfit bearing striking similarities to Harris’s 2017 ensemble.
In east London, a giant new outpost of the V&A is under construction. When V&A East Storehouse opens in 2024, visitors will be able to walk amongst some of the V&A’s treasures previously hidden away in storage. But the building will also house new pieces. The museum has recently acquired its biggest-ever object, and now the team wants to display it in the middle of the Storehouse.
The new acquisition is a giant ten-tonne slice of a tower block from an east London council estate known as Robin Hood Gardens. This monolith of modernism was designed by the famous husband-and-wife architects Peter and Alison Smithson and completed in 1972. Robin Hood Gardens is being demolished, but the V&A stepped in to acquire several large chunks of the façade. Now they hope to reassemble these giant concrete components inside the new Storehouse and hang the entire edifice 15 metres in the air. If the hugely ambitious plan is a success, visitors will be able to get a sense of the estate’s most famous feature – the ‘streets in the sky’, which the Smithsons hoped would replicate the terraced streets of the old East End.
The V&A’s old Museum of Childhood is also undergoing a major revamp – it’s being transformed into a new museum to be known as Young V&A. But even while the site is closed for its makeover, curators are still acquiring new pieces, with many embodying cutting-edge design. Curators Kristian and Trish have just acquired a bionic arm, a robotic prosthesis made from 3D-printed plastic and designed to help children and young people with disabilities. The Hero Arm, as it’s known, was created with input from young people themselves. Trish goes to meet 16-year-old social media influencer Tilly to find out how she’s contributed to the bionic arm’s special features.

The story of Alma Pihl is an unusual one. There were very few women in the goldsmith workshops in St Petersburg in the early 1900s, let alone in the position of designer. Alma's natural talent for drawing and unique eye for design resulted in some of Fabergé's most celebrated pieces of jewellery and two Imperial Easter Eggs.
Ulla Tillander-Godenhielm – great-granddaughter of St Petersburg goldsmith Alexander Tillander, a supplier to the Russian imperial court – has spent many years studying the art of the St Petersburg jewellers and recounts Alma's incredible story in this film.

Join master potter and writer Edmund de Waal as he takes us on a journey into the history of porcelain. Walking us through the remarkable stories of four extraordinary objects from the V&A's collection – a blue and white ewer, a delicate white cup, Wedgwood's First Day's vase, and a sturdy floral mug – de Waal reveals how he has reflected their histories in his own collection of fine bone china plates, titled 'On the White Road'.
Beginning in Jingdezhen, China – the place where Marco Polo first encountered porcelain in the 13th century – we travel along the Silk Road to Europe, where the material is continuously reinvented. The Meissen factory cracks the mystery of how to make porcelain in 18th century Germany, Josiah Wedgwood in Stoke-on-Trent revolutionises the world of ceramics in England, and determined Quaker chemist William Cookworthy dedicates 20 years to creating porcelain in his Plymouth home laboratory.
Edmund de Waal's 'On the White Road' limited edition bone china plates are available to purchase from the V&A shop: https://www.vam.ac.uk/shop/homeware/kitchen-dining/on-the-white-road-by-edmund-de-waal-%E2%80%93-limited-edition-163921.html

Secrets of the Museum
Series 1 Episode 1 of 6
Inside every museum is a hidden world, and now, cameras have been allowed behind the scenes at the world-famous Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Only a small part of the two million wonders in the collection are on display to the public. But in this new series we go behind closed doors to explore all the treasures of art, design and performance the museum has to offer.
We follow experts and conservators at work in this treasure trove of the nation’s favourite objects, as they breathe new life into fragile marvels, uncover hidden stories, and battle to keep the past alive.
In this week’s episode we follow the charming story of a hand-made children’s toy - Pumpie the elephant. Pumpie was made a hundred years ago by the Cattley family in west London. The children whose beloved stuffed toy he was made special outfits for him, painted his portrait, and took him with them on holiday. But Pumpie has suffered major moth damage over the years, and now needs urgent restoration.

Trish goes to meet 16-year-old social media influencer Tilly to find out how she’s contributed to the bionic arm’s special features.
At the V&A’s Wedgwood Collection in Stoke-on-Trent, archivist Lucy and curator Catrin are taking delivery of a mid-century treasure that shows off the Wedgwood company’s tradition of working with the most cutting-edge artists of their day.

Ravilious himself became a war artist during the conflict, but in 1942 he failed to return from an RAF mission over Iceland.
Today, Ravilious’s granddaughter Ella, who herself works as a curator for the V&A, is writing a new book about her grandfather, whose reputation has grown and grown in recent years. Ella travels to Stoke to see the Wedgwood factory’s closely guarded pattern books, which reveal the top-secret process by which Ravilious’s designs became a mass-produced tea set.

The story of Alma Pihl is an unusual one. There were very few women in the goldsmith workshops in St Petersburg in the early 1900s, let alone in the position of designer. Alma's natural talent for drawing and unique eye for design resulted in some of Fabergé's most celebrated pieces of jewellery and two Imperial Easter Eggs.
Ulla Tillander-Godenhielm – great-granddaughter of St Petersburg goldsmith Alexander Tillander, a supplier to the Russian imperial court – has spent many years studying the art of the St Petersburg jewellers and recounts Alma's incredible story in this film.

Izzo (H.O.V.A.)
"Izzo (H.O.V.A.)" (often referred to as "H to the Izzo") is the first single released by Jay-Z from his sixth album The Blueprint. It is among his most popular singles. This was the second song released off The Blueprint, after the diss track "Takeover", but the lead single from it. The song reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. It was Jay-Z's first top 10 single as a lead artist.
The song, produced by Kanye West, prominently features a sample of "I Want You Back" by The Jackson 5, the second major hit in 2001 to sample that song (after "My Baby" by Lil' Romeo).
The music video takes place in New York City with Jay-Z, Damon Dash, Biggs, & other affiliates on a Roc-A-Fella parade float which features cameo appearances from Kanye West, Destiny's Child, Trina, Eve, Nelly, and OutKast.
The song was later mashed up with Linkin Park's "In the End" for their collaborative EP, Collision Course.
Lyrics
The first verse deals with the rapper's early career as a drug dealer, including his escape from conviction. The second verse narrates his struggles with the exploitative recording industry, while in the last verse he reverts to his childhood growing up in the Marcy Houses housing projects.

Izzo (H.O.V.A.)
by: Jay-ZLadies and gentlemen, put our hands together for the astonishing...
H to the izz-O...V to the izz-A...
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 8th wonder of the world
The flow o' the century...oh it's timeless...HOVE!
Thanks for comin' out tonight
You coulda been anywhere in the world, but you're here with me
I appreciate that...uuunnnh...
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo' shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
Was herbin' em in the home of the Terrapins
Got it dirt cheap for them
Plus if they was short wit' cheese I would work wit' them
Boy and we...got rid of that dirt for them
Wasn't born hustlers I was burpin' em
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo' sheezy my neezy keep my arms so breezy
Can't leave rap alone the game needs me
Haters want me clapped and chromed it ain't easy
Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in
But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty, he who does not feel me is not real to me
Therefore he doesn't exist
So poof...vamoose son of a bitch
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo' shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
That's the anthem get'cha damn hands up
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty ya'll got-ta feel me
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
That's the anthem get'cha damn hands UP!
Holla at me...
I do this for my culture
To let 'em know what a nigga look like...when a nigga in a roaster
Show 'em how to move in a room full 'o vultures
Industry shady it need to be taken over
Label owners hate me I'm raisin' the status quo up
I'm overchargin' niggaz for what they did to the Cold Crush
Pay us like you owe us for all the years that you hold us
We can talk, but money talks so talk mo' bucks
Yeah...
Hove is back, life stories told through rap
Niggaz actin' like I sold you crack
Like I told you sell drugs...no...
Hove did that so hopefully you won't have to go through that
I was raised in the pro-jects, roaches and rats
Smokers out back, sellin' they mama's sofa
Lookouts on the corner, focused on the ave
Ladies in the window, focused on the kinfolk
Me under a lamp post, why I got my hand closed?
Cracks in my palm, watchin' the long arm o' the law
So you know I seen it all before
I seen hoop dreams deflate like a true fiend's weight
To try and to fail, the two things I hate
Succeed in this rap game, the two things is great
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
What else can I say about dude, I gets bizzay
