• The Victoria and Albert Museum, 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 Victoria & Albert Museum is split into four

Collections departments, Asia; Furniture, Textiles and Fashion; Sculpture, Metalwork, Ceramics &

Glass and Word & Image.

• The V&A’s collection of Japanese art and design is one of the largest in Britain. It includes ceramics,

lacquer, arms and armour, woodwork, metalwork, textiles and dress, prints, paintings and

sculpture. An active programme of acquiring modern and contemporary studio crafts has resulted

in the V&A having one of the most prestigious holdings of this material outside Japan.

• The V&A’s collection of ukiyo-e is one of the largest and finest in the world, with over 25,000 prints,

paintings, drawings and books. Ukiyo-e means ‘Pictures of the Floating World’. Images of everyday

Japan, mass-produced for popular consumption in the Edo period (1615-1868), they represent one

of the highpoints of Japanese cultural achievement. Popular themes include famous beauties and

well-known actors, renowned landscapes, heroic tales and folk stories.

• The art of ukiyo-e is most frequently associated with colour woodblock prints, popular in Japan

from their development in 1765 until the closing decades of the Meiji period (1868- 1912). The

earliest prints were simple black and white prints taken from a single block. Sometimes these prints

were coloured by hand, but this process was expensive. In the 1740s, additional woodblocks were

used to print the colours pink and green, but it wasn’t until 1765 that the technique of using

multiple colour woodblocks was perfected. The glorious full colour prints that resulted were known

as nishiki-e or ‘brocade pictures’.

relationships

• To “Meghan Markle it” is an ode to self-respect, a sermon to owning one’s own boundaries, especially when it involves alcohol.
• Do say: “Man, when I go out tonight, I am so going to Meghan Markle it,” before going home early, getting eight hours sleep and not texting your ex.
• Don’t say: “I don’t care about Meghan Markling it, I am going to dance on a table before texting my ex with some Beyoncé lyrics.” - On the matter of exes: the next time you get sent a text saying “U up?” at 3am from a deadbeat who has ignored you for weeks, you need to Meghan Markle it. - Obviously most people can’t just move to Canada to become an uber-influencer. But you could consider whether said love interest really respects you, and if not, how to leave them behind. - Do say: “I totally Meghan Markled my ex last night and never returned his texts.” - Don’t say: “I’m not going to Meghan Markle this time: they didn’t get back to my last 30 calls, but I think they have been really busy, to be fair?”

At work

• This one is slightly counterintuitive, because part of Harry and Meghan’s problem with royalty was that they didn’t have to work.
• But for the rest of us, Meghan Markling it at work looks like understanding what an asset you are, and leaving a company when that is not appreciated.
• Do say: “I’m considering Meghan Markling: they haven’t given me a raise in two years, and I’d have better options working as an Instagram influencer than staying in this loveless work marriage.”
• Don’t say: “I’ll Meghan Markle it when I finally have time to update my LinkedIn, which is never.”

Kamala Harris accepted her place in history on Saturday night with a speech honoring the women who she said “paved the way for this moment tonight”, when the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants would stand before the nation as the vice-president-elect of the United States. With her ascension to the nation’s second highest office, Harris, 56, will become the first woman and the first woman of color to be elected vice-president, a reality that shaped her speech and brought tears to the eyes of many women and girls watching from the hoods of their cars that had gathered in the parking lot of a convention center in Wilmington, Delaware. Wearing an all-white pantsuit, in an apparent tribute to the suffragists who fought for a woman’s right to vote, Harris smiled, exultant, as she waved from the podium waiting for the blare of car horns and cheers to subside. Joe Biden, the president-elect, would speak next. But this was a moment all her own.

She began her remarks with a tribute to the legacy of the late congressman and civil rights activist John Lewis. “Protecting our democracy takes struggle,” Harris said, speaking from a stage outside the Chase Center on the Riverfront in Wilmington. “It takes sacrifice. But there is joy in it. And there is progress. Because we, the people, have the power to build a better future.” With Harris poised to become the highest-ranking woman in the history of American government, this milestone marks the extraordinary arc of a political career that has broken racial and gender barriers at nearly every turn. As a prosecutor, she rose to become the first Black female attorney general of California. When she was elected to the Senate in 2016, she became only the second Black woman in history to serve in the chamber. In her remarks, Harris paid tribute to the women across the country – and throughout history – who made this moment possible. “I reflect on their struggle, their determination and the strength of their vision, to see what can be, unburdened by what has been,” she said. “I stand on their shoulders.” She specifically honored the contributions of Black women to the struggle for suffrage, equality and civil rights – leaders who are “too often overlooked, but so often prove that they are the backbone of our democracy”.

• The Shard’s 1,016ft structure and 1.3m sq ft of internal space will contain a five-star hotel, restaurants, 10 luxury apartments, and offices. Renzo Piano, the project’s Italian architect, designed the Shard as a spire-like sculpture emerging from the River Thames.
• Piano’s design met criticism from English Heritage, who claimed the building would be “a shard of glass through the heart of historic London”, giving the building its name, The Shard. Piano considered the slender, spire-like form of the tower a positive addition to the London skyline, recalling the church steeples featured in historic engravings of the city, and believed that its presence would be far more delicate than opponents of the project alleged. He proposed a sophisticated use of glazing, with expressive façades of angled glass panes intended to reflect sunlight and the sky above, so that the appearance of the building will change according to the weather and seasons. The building features 11,000 panes of glass, with a total surface area of 56,000 square metres.

• Following the destruction of the World Trade Center in the terror attacks of 11 September 2001, architects and structural engineers worldwide began re-evaluating the design of tall structures. And so did London.
• Construction started in May 2009 and the external completion was marked in July 2012, just in time for the London Olympics. The Shard’s viewing gallery and observation deck on the 72nd floor was opened to the public in February 2013.
• On a clear day, it is said that visitors to the Shard can see France. But despite the panoramic views offered by scaling Europe's highest building, it is poor value for money in comparison to other skyscrapers across the world. As a matter of fact, some visitors to the tower of steel and glass have felt aggrieved at the weighty admission costs. Adults are charged £29.95 to access; too much for an average person for a view of London.
