- ... music, the hip-hop subculture also formed other methods of expression like break dancing, graffiti art, a unique slang vocabulary, and fashion sense. Rap started in the mid-1970s in the South Bronx area of New York City. The birth of rap is, in many ways, like the birth of rock and roll. Both originated in the African American community and both were first recorded by small, independent record labels and marketed towards, mostly to a black audience.

For rap it was a young white group from New York, the Beastie Boys. Their release (You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!) (1986) was one of the first two rap records to reach the Billboard top-ten. Another early rap song to ...

- ... in replication. Protein synthesis begins with the separation of a DNA molecule into two strands. In a process called transcription, a section of the sense strand acts as a template, or pattern, to produce a new strand called messenger RNA (mRNA). The mRNA leaves the cell nucleus and attaches to the ribosomes, specialized cellular structures that are the sites of protein synthesis. Amino acids are carried to the ribosomes by another ... places in the cell nucleus and occurs just before the cell divides. Replication begins with the separation of the two polynucleotide chains, each of which then acts as a template for the assembly of a new complementary chain. As the old chains separate, each nucleotide in the two chains attracts a complementary nucleotide that has been formed earlier by the cell. The nucleotides are joined to one another by hydrogen bonds to form the rungs of a new DNA molecule. As the complementary nucleotides are fitted into place, an enzyme called DNA polymerase links them together by bonding the phosphate group of one nucleotide to the sugar molecule of the adjacent nucleotide, ...

- 8207: Drunken Boat
- ... truly timeless poem capable of bridging the gap between the two different eras.

Rimbaud places an emphasis upon the symbol as a means to evoke the mystery of language itself, rather than to refer to some subjective consciousness or some objective, material world. The symbol is used as a point of convergence for these unspoken things and remains deliberately ambiguous but resonant. The images created through the poet's retelling of experiences use symbols to convey their emotions ... continuous journeys. As a young man, Rimbaud went further than the other symbolist poets did in his attempt to break with conventions, both poetic and social.

Albert became an internationally renowned citizen for his work, winning the Nobel Prize in physics in 1921, as well as many other honors and awards from various other scientific societies around the world. Although he was an outspoken pacifist and Zionist, Einstein collaborated with several other physicists to write a letter to President Roosevelt during the second world war, telling him of the possibility of the creation ...
