Baby Vox

Baby V.O.X (Korean: 베이비복스) was a South Korean five-member female dance group active from 1997 to 2006. The group were contracted to the record company DR Music and EMI Music Publishing Korea. In the period 1998 to 2006, they released seven albums and performed internationally, including in China. They were considered as one of the prominent K-Pop girl groups in the 1990s and early 2000s along with S.E.S and Fin.K.L, and the pioneers of the so-called Hallyu Wave. After the failure of their 2004 album Ride West and numerous line-up changes the group members went their separate ways.

History

Early years (1997–1999)

The group originally consisted of Cha Yu-Mi, Jung Shi Woon, Jang Hyun Jung, Lee Hee Jin and Kim E-Z. The name is shortened from "Baby Voices of Xpression". Their debut single was entitled Hair Cut and taken from the album Equalizeher, released in June 1997. They group displayed an edgy style inspired by that of the Spice Girls, which was not successful. After the first album, both Jung and Jang left the group and were replaced with Shim Eun Jin, Kan Mi Youn, and Lee Gai. The group adopted a more modest style, used by popular groups such as S.E.S. and Fin.K.L . From the album Baby V.O.X II, the single, Ya Ya Ya became a success, reaching number seven on the Korean pop charts. It was followed by a second single, Change. Following the release, Lee Gai left the group.

Baby (surname)

Baby is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:

Baby (musical)

Baby is a musical with a book by Sybille Pearson, based on a story developed with Susan Yankowitz, music by David Shire, and lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr.. It concerns the reactions of three couples each expecting a child. The musical first ran on Broadway from 1983 to 1984.

Synopsis

Three couples, each newly expecting a child, have different but familiar reactions. Lizzie and Danny are university juniors who have just moved in together. Athletic Pam and her husband, Nick, a sports instructor, have had some trouble conceiving. Arlene, already the mother of three grown daughters, is unsure of what to do, contemplating abortion while her husband Alan is thrilled with the thought of a new baby. Throughout the show, these characters experience the emotional stresses and triumphs, the desperate lows and the comic highs, that accompany the anticipation and arrival of a baby.

Musical numbers

"Baby, Baby, Baby (Reprise)" was replaced in the initial run and the original cast recording with the song "Patterns," wherein Arlene contemplates her circular life as mother and wife.

Virginian and Ohio

The Virginian and Ohio is both the name of a fictional railroad company created by W. Allen McClelland and the HO scale model railroad he built featuring this railroad. The V&O is famous in the model railroading world for setting a new standard for freelanced (fictional) model railroads designed to operate in a prototypical manner and was a major influence upon many model railroaders of the time. In 1984, Mr. McClelland wrote a detailed guide to the construction and operation of the railroad.

Model railroad

The original V&O was built in 1962 and was set in the 1950s. The railroad operated from Afton, VA to Elm Grove, VA. In the mid 1970s, Allen McClelland began a second phase of construction that expanded the railroad from Elm Grove to Kingswood Junction, VA. McClelland was very interested in actual prototype running so the railroad constantly moved forward in time. For example, in 1980 (1958 on the railroad), the V&O ran the last of its steam locomotives and switched entirely to diesel. Allen then moved the timeframe of the railroad to 1968. In the late 1990s, the railroad was expanded one final time and was updated to 1975.

Vanadium(V) oxide

Vanadium(V) oxide (vanadia) is the inorganic compound with the formula V₂O₅. Commonly known as vanadium pentoxide, it is a brown/yellow solid, although when freshly precipitated from aqueous solution, its colour is deep orange. Because of its high oxidation state, it is both an amphoteric oxide and an oxidizing agent. From the industrial perspective, it is the most important compound of vanadium, being principal precursor to alloys of vanadium and is a widely used industrial catalyst.

The mineral form of this compound, shcherbinaite, is extremely rare, almost always found among fumaroles. A mineral trihydrate, V₂O₅·3H₂O, is also known under the name of navajoite.

Chemical properties

Upon heating, it reversibly loses oxygen, successively forming V₂O₄, V₂O₃, VO and the metal.

Acid-base reactions

Unlike most metal oxides, it dissolves slightly in water to give a pale yellow, acidic solution. When this compound is formed by V₂O₅ it is an amphoteric oxide. Thus :V₂O₅ reacts with strong non-reducing acids to form solutions containing the pale yellow salts containing dioxovanadium(V) centers:
