History[edit]
Kanye West originally designed a shoe for Adidas in 2006, but it never came out. The first brand to officially collaborate with Kanye West and have a shoe line was Nike. This collaboration lasted for five years and a total of three sneaker styles were released. In 2013, after the release of the "Red Octobers" Kanye West left Nike. Kanye West wanted Nike to grant him royalties, but they denied his request. Kanye West reached out to Adidas and they agreed to give him royalties. A year after the confirmation of the Adidas and Kanye West collaboration, there was still no product. February 2015 was when the collaboration officially debuted. "Yeezy Season 1" had been very anticipated and celebrities such as Rihanna, Diddy, and Kim Kardashian were at the showing.[6]
Clothing[edit]
"Yeezy Season 1" officially released on October 29, 2015.[7] This collection was noted for its stripped down, ready-to-wear style, which drew on military clothing and flesh-toned colors.[8] Prices ranged from $600 sweatpants to $3,000 jackets.[9] Although, the footwear sold out quickly, the apparel collection did not. After the "Yeezy Season 1" show, Adidas announced they would no longer be a part of Yeezy apparel. Instead, they will only be collaborating on footwear.[10]
Footwear[edit]
As of December, 2017, a total of 19 colorways and 6 designs have been released between the Adidas and Yeezy collaboration.[11] Through a combination of factors including popularization by celebrities, Adidas Yeezy sneakers have come to be extremely influential and highly coveted.[12]
Yeezy Boost 750[edit]
On December 3, 2013, Adidas confirmed a new shoe collaboration deal with West.[13] On February 8, 2015, the name and design for the Kanye West and Adidas collaboration shoe was revealed. On February 10 Adidas revealed posters of the Yeezy Boost 750 "Light Brown" all throughout their flagship stores. The Yeezy boost 750 "Light Brown" was initially released on February 14, 2015, exclusively for those who confirmed a reservation through the Adidas mobile app. This initial release of the Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 "Light Brown" was limited to 9000 pairs to be available only in New York City via the Adidas smartphone app; the Adidas Yeezy Boosts were sold out within 10 minutes.[14] Between February 21 and February 28 the Yeezy Boost 750 "Light Brown" was available through a wider range of retailers and boutiques. The shoe retailed for $350.[15]
On June 11, 2016, Yeezy Season 2 began with the second set of releases of the Yeezy Boost 750 "Glow in the Dark". The shoe was sold in an all-grey color scheme with a phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) gum outsole. This was the first time a glow-in-the-dark sole has been featured since the [Nike Air Yeezy] line. The shoe features improved materials such as higher quality suede and leather. Like the previous 750s, this was sold for a retail price of $350.
The next Yeezy Boost 750 featured a brown suede and leather upper with the same fluorescent sole as the previous model. This colorway was dubbed "Chocolate" and retailed for $350 like all previous 750 models. There have been no further releases of the sneaker.
Yeezy Boost 350[edit]
Adidas Yeezy Boost "Oxford Tan"
On June 27, 2015, the second shoe from the collaboration, the Yeezy Boost 350 was made available through a worldwide release.[16] The shoe was first released in a white and grey "Turtle Dove" Color scheme. On August 22, 2015, an all-black version of the Yeezy Boost 350 released, known as the "Pirate Black."[17] An olivine variant, the "Moonrock," was released exclusively to stores who were vendors for the Yeezy Season 1 clothing line.[18] The fourth and final version of Season 1's 350 Boost was the "Oxford Tan," which featured a light-brown color scheme.[19] In early 2016, a revised version of the Pirate Black colorway was released. Revisions included additional support and padding to the heel.[20] However, both iterations are relatively identical in appearance. All variants of the shoe retailed for $200.[21]
On August 27, 2016, the Yeezy Boost 350 re-released in infant sizes. The shoe was released in the "Turtle Dove" and "Pirate Black" color scheme.[22] There have been no further releases or restocks of the sneaker.
Yeezy 950[edit]
The Yeezy 950 was first released on October 29, 2015 at select retail stores and online.[23] It was part of the Yeezy season 1 collection and came in three different colorways: Peyote, Moonrock, Chocolate, and Pirate black. Each shoe was retailed at $585 USD.[24] "The Adidas Yeezy 950 extended the Kanye West and Adidas partnership outside of the sneaker space with its military duckboot inspired design."[25] There have been no further releases of the sneaker.
Yeezy 350 Cleat[edit]
The Adidas Yeezy 350 Football Boost "Turtle dove" colorway was originally released on September 15, 2016.[26] The Yeezy 350 cleat "Turtle Dove" is the first athletic footwear product from the Adidas and Yeezy collaboration. "The shoe took the overall look and feel of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 however they installed a Primeknit upper reinforced with SprintSkin sitting on a 5-star cleat frame."[27] The cleat was designed for football and it had made its first appearance in a 2016 NFL kickoff game. Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was fined $6,000 for wearing the cleats because they broke the NFL uniform policy by not having a solid base color.[28]
Adidas Yeezy Boost v2 "Zebra"
There have been no further releases of this cleat
Yeezy Boost 350 V2[edit]
The Yeezy Boost 350 V2 "Beluga" was revealed at the Yeezy Season 3 show and was released on September 24, 2016. It is considered a remake of the previous Yeezy Boost 350 and features several outer changes, such as a different pattern, removed heel tab, and a large stripe running around the outer side of the shoe with the characters "SPLY-350". The sole also has been updated to be transparent and features full-length visibility of the boost material midsole through a grid-pattern opening on the outsole. September 24, 2016, was the release date of the Yeezy Boost V2 "Beluga".[29] It featured an all Grey outsole and primeknit, with a large colored orange stripe with the words "SPLY-350". On November 23, 2016, three new colorways released, "Copper", "Green", and "Red", featuring an all black outsole and primeknit, with a large colored stripe with the words "SPLY-350". A Core Black/Core White colorway, dubbed "Oreo", was released December 17, 2016, which also featured a black outsole and prime knit, as well as a white stripe across the shoe.
A notable adaption to the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 line was made when a black and red "Bred" colorway released February 11, 2017.[30] The colorway possesses a "triple black" colorway, with the "SPLY-350" displayed in a red tint. Additionally, it officially became the first to opt out the prominent stripe on previous models. A "Zebra" colorway was released on February 25, 2017 and later restocked online and in various adidas stores and retailers on June 24, 2017. The colorway featured prominent black stripes over a never before seen white overlay, prompting a surge of value and hype from the sneaker community.[31] On April 29, 2017, a long-awaited model labeled as "Cream White" was released to the public.[32] All shoe colorways have been released for a retail price of $220.
Three new colorways of the Yeezy 350 V2 model have surfaced. A "Semi-Frozen Yellow" colorway featuring a bright yellow prime knit upper and unique "gum soles" released on November 18, 2017 in limited quantity.[33] Additionally, a colorway with a strikingly familiar pattern to the first release of the Yeezy 350 V2, dubbed the "Beluga 2.0," released at various retailers in large quantity seven days after the "Semi-Frozen Yellow" on November 25, 2017.[34] It subsequently restocked on the 30th of November. The third colorway, "Blue Tint," will be releasing on the 16th of December. All colorways have opted to possess consistent prime knit patterns without a prominent stripe on the sides, however, the iconic "SPLY-350" will still be retained on all three pairs with prices being set at $220.
Several other iterations of the shoe have been rumored to make its return in 2018; featuring one with a displaced "SPLY-350" and a dull grey primeknit pattern, a "Sesame" graphic featuring a gum sole similar to that of the "Semi-Frozen Yellow", and a "Ice Yellow" similar to the "Cream White" colorway are all rumored to release in the summer of 2018.[35] All rumors are subject to change.
Yeezy Powerphase[edit]
The Adidas Powerphase "Calabasas" was released on March 28, 2017.[36] "The retro sneakers are an update of an Adidas trainer from the '80s. They feature a premium white leather upper with perforated striped, green Adidas branding and a red Trefoil logo."[37] A tonal grey colorway released globally on the 9th of December for a retail price of $120. [38]
Yeezy Boost 700[edit]
The Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 is the official name for Kanye West's new Adidas Yeezy running shoe. It debuted during the Yeezy Season 5 fashion show in 2017. The shoe released on August 12, 2017 for $300 exclusively via the Yeezy Supply online store. Two colorways of white/gum and black are also expected to release in 2018.[39] The shoe itself has faced large amounts of controversy due to its appearance.
Yeezy 500 Desert Rat[edit]
This Adidas Yeezy 500 was released in December 2017, as a pre-order with delivery slated for March 2018, It was only available in a Super Moon Yellow colourway, and only available in a bundle with a hoodie and sweat shorts.

History[edit]
DeVaughn wrote "A Cadillac Don't Come Easy" eventually re-written to become "Be Thankful for What You Got" in 1972, and spent $900 toward its development[vague] to Omega Sound (a Philadelphia production house). The producers at Omega (Frank Fioravanti and sax player/ MFSB session group member, John Davis) decided to go for a strong groove with a smooth, almost jazzy arrangement, eventually booking time to record at Sigma Sound Studio in Philadelphia.
The session featured members of the MFSB group — guitarist Norman Harris, drummer Earl Young, bassist Ron Baker, and vibist Vince Montana — secured by Allan Felder, who also developed the separate ad lib back-up chorus with his sister's vocal choir.[The B-Side of the single entitled "Diamond in the Back" was the same title adopted by Ludacris 2004][citation needed] Frank Fioravanti could have released the record on the company's own label Sound Gems, but it was just starting out and instead secured its release on the Roxbury Records record label, run by producer-songwriter Wes Farrell.
The record sold nearly two million copies on its release in spring 1974, reaching #1 on the U.S. R&B charts and #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[2] With a sound and content influenced by Curtis Mayfield (and often erroneously attributed to him), its simple and encouraging lyrics hit home, to the extent that it became featured on gospel radio stations.
The edited version, which is the first part of the song, became a hit. The other half of the song is a longer instrumental with the repeated chords and rhythm before the final chorus comes in. The song is seven minutes long and radio stations preferred the sung portions over the instrumental portions.
The song is noted for its repeated line: "Diamond in the back,/ Sun roof top,/ Diggi'n the scene, with a gangsta lean".
DeVaughn's second album Figures Can't Calculate (TEC, 1980) included a remake.
The song is featured in the films Bug (2002), Be Cool (2005) and La Mission (2010).
Preceded by
"I'm in Love" by Aretha Franklin Billboard Hot Soul Singles number one single
June 1, 1974 Succeeded by
"Hollywood Swinging" by Kool & the Gang
Sampled[edit]
The song has been sampled several times, such as by N.W.A in "Gangsta Gangsta", Ludacris in "Diamond in the Back" and Ice Cube in "Stand Tall".
References[edit]
The song is referenced in the Parliament-Funkadelic song "P. Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)", with the lyric: "Gangster lean; Y'all should dig my sun-roof top."
The song was also referenced in the late guitarist Gabor Szabo's 1976 song, "Keep Smiling," except the "diamond in the back" lyric was changed to "digging the scene with a Philly lean," possibly referring to the song's co-author and producer (and Vaughn's Philadelphia International Records label-mate) Bunny Sigler.
In the song "Still Fly" by Big Tymers the last verse mentions an 'old-school Caddy with a diamond in the back' and imitates DeVaughn's higher tone.
The song is referenced in the Rihanna song "Shut Up and Drive (Rihanna song)", with the phrase: "I'm a fine-tuned super-sonic speed machine, with a sunroof top and a gangsta lean."
Covers[edit]
The song was covered in 1974 by Arthur Lee and Love on their Reel to Real album; Reggae versions were done by Donovan Carless in 1974, Bunny Clarke (produced by Lee "Scratch" Perry) in 1975,[3] and by Winston Curtis in 1984 (on World International Records); in 1991 by the British trip hop band Massive Attack on their album Blue Lines, in 1993 by Portrait on the soundtrack album Addams Family Values: Music from the Motion Picture, by Peter Blakeley as the opening theme for the movie The Taking of Beverly Hills, by Yo La Tengo on its 1997 "Little Honda" EP and by Lawrence "Lipbone" Redding on his 2009 Science of Bootyism album.
The song has been covered by Rumer (musician) in her EP "Love is the Answer".
The song, titled "Be Thankful", was covered by Omar Lye-Fook featuring Erykah Badu on his 2001 album "Best By Far".
The song was also covered by Cleveland Watkiss on "Blessing in Disguise" (Polydor 1991).
Massive Attack version[edit]
Massive Attack's cover version, retitled "Be Thankful for What You've Got", was featured on their 1991 debut album Blue Lines. A music video was produced for the song; however, it was not released as a stand-alone commercial single. Instead, a remix by Paul Oakenfold was also included on their 1992 single release Massive Attack EP.[4]

"Pilot" Rob Bowman Dan Dworkin & Jay Beattie April 2, 2018 (2018-04-02)[a] 5.40[19]
People are deep underwater in the ocean. A woman pushes a child toward the surface and disappears below. Sheriff Jude Ellis is called to the beach to investigate a body that washed ashore. Upon arriving, he and his deputy discover more bodies on the beach and hundreds more in the water. There are a total of 47 survivors, all claiming to be fleeing a war 180 years in the future. They heard of a way to bend time to get to "The Long Peace". They were running from Apex, a race of more evolved humans with extraordinary abilities that took over all governments and began exterminating normal humans. FBI Agent Emma Ren takes charge and restricts the sheriff's access. The woman shown previously is rescued by fishermen, sees a televised report of only dead washing ashore (an FBI cover story), ambushes Jude and orders him to take her to the dead. She does not find the girl she tried to help. Jude tells her the child is alive. When armed security agents close in, the woman overpowers both of them and Jude and escapes, revealing herself to be an Apex by her incredible physical abilities. She later appears in Jude's home, where he learns that her name is Reece and that she is looking for her daughter, Leah. Thomas, a survivor, claims that their group was not the first to cross. He meets Ren's boss, Craig Lindauer, the deputy head of Homeland Security, but to his horror recognizes Lindauer as part of the earlier migration.

"A Shadow Out of Time" David Von Ancken Dan Dworkin & Jay Beattie April 9, 2018 (2018-04-09) 4.48[20]
Reece and Leah's backstory is told in a series of flashbacks. In 2187, Reece and another armed Apex agent search a building for "Commons", non-mutated humans. Inside they find a dead man, killed by the incurable disease Apex created to wipe out normal humanity. They also discover a healthy baby. Reece's partner prepares to shoot the infant, per standard procedure, but Reece kills him and raises the baby in secret. When Leah is a young girl, she contracts the disease. Reece buys black market medical help; the man gives Leah some of Reece's blood in the hope that Reece's Apex immunity can help Leah fight the disease. When Reece's superiors find out about Leah and confront Reece, she shoots them and flees. In the present, Jude makes a bargain with her: he will help her find Leah in exchange for her leaving town. He tries to arrange a meeting between Reece and Ren, but Ren notifies Lindauer, who sends heavily armed men. Reece is shot, but gets away. Meanwhile, Leah is found to have the disease and is quickly quarantined.

"Pax Americana" Ken Girotti Michael Narducci April 16, 2018 (2018-04-16) 4.09[21]
Reece is tracked in the forest by Lindauer's heavily armed men, but she easily neutralizes them. She kills the head of the search team when he, thinking he has her incapacitated, reveals he is an earlier migrant. Roy, a guard, is attracted to survivor Hannah. Luke threatens to expose Hannah's past to the others unless she cooperates with him. She sneaks out of camp in the back of Roy's pickup truck. At a concert, part of the town's "Harborfest" celebration, Hannah meets Marshall. After a while, she spots a young man who looks exactly like the guy in the photo in her lost locket. Roy finds Hannah and takes her back, with Jude's help. Jude is enjoying Harborfest with his son Oliver, who was dropped off by Oliver's mother. When Jude is called away to check out a dead body (Reece's victim), Oliver disappears. Lindauer recruits Thomas, then sends virologist Dr. Sophie Forbin to find out all she can about the disease, but states that saving Leah's life is not a priority. After speaking with Forbin, Ren starts to suspect that Lindauer has a hidden agenda. She reaches out to Jude, but he no longer trusts her.
4
"The Face of Oblivion" Tara Nicole Weyr Evan Bleiweiss April 23, 2018 (2018-04-23) 4.08[22]
When Jude calls Oliver's phone, Reece answers. She wants to exchange his child for hers in four hours. Jude contacts Ren, who informs him that Leah is dying of a highly infectious disease. Jude pressures Forbin to go with him to the exchange point. After they apprise Reece of the situation, Forbin offers to take Oliver's place. Jude returns home to find his son alive and well. Meanwhile, Hannah's dark secret comes to light: she became an Apex collaborator after they caught and tortured her father. A survivor named Paul asks a guard to locate a woman from the earlier migration: his wife. The guard turns over his drawing over to Ren, who identifies and goes to question the woman. The woman claims Paul joined a cult, but when Ren sees a photograph on the wall showing a gathering in which Lindauer is present, the woman shoots her.

text:
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" is a popular reference to William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, in which Juliet seems to argue that it does not matter that Romeo is from her family's rival house of Montague, that is, that he is named "Montague". The reference is often used to imply that the names of things do not affect what they really are. This formulation is, however, a paraphrase of Shakespeare's actual language. Juliet compares Romeo to a rose saying that if he was not named Romeo he would still be handsome and be Juliet's love. This states that if he was not Romeo, then he would not be a Montague and she would be able to get married with no problem at all.

Origin[edit]
In Act II, Scene II [1] of the play, the line is said by Juliet in reference to Romeo's house, Montague which would imply that his name means nothing and they should be together.
Juliet:
O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
Romeo:
[Aside] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
Juliet:
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
Romeo:
I take thee at thy word:
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
Original texts[edit]
Although it is one of the most famous quotes from the work of Shakespeare, no printing in Shakespeare's lifetime presents the text in the form known to modern readers: it is a skillful amalgam assembled by Edmond Malone, an editor in the eighteenth century.
Romeo and Juliet was published twice, in two very different versions. The first version of 1597, named "Q1", is believed to have been an unauthorised pirate copy or bad quarto provided to the printer by actors off the books: a memorial reconstruction. It may also, separately, represent a version of the play improved and trimmed after rehearsals for more dramatic impact.[2]
It runs:
’Tis but thy name that is mine enemy:
What’s Montague? It is not hand nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part.
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose,
By any other name would smell as sweet.
Q2, a superior 1599 printing, is believed to be a more official version printed from Shakespeare's original manuscript although perhaps not with Shakespeare's personal input. This is believed since there are textual oddities such as "false starts" for speeches that were presumably not clearly crossed out enough for the printer to spot.
It uses the text:
’Tis but thy name that is my enemy:
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague,
What’s Montague? It is not hand nor foot,
Nor arm nor face. O be some other name
belonging to a man!
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose,
By any other word would smell as sweet.
Malone reasoned that the awkward half-line of ‘belonging to a man’ could be reconnected into verse through correction with Q1. Modern editors have generally concurred.

Semiconservative replication
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A summary of the three postulated methods of DNA synthesis
Semiconservative replication describes the mechanism by which DNA is replicated in all known cells. It derives its name from the fact that this mechanism of transcription was one of three models originally proposed[1][2] for DNA replication:
Semiconservative replication would produce two copies that each contained one of the original strands and one new strand.
Conservative replication would leave the two original template DNA strands together in a double helix and would produce a copy composed of two new strands containing all of the new DNA base pairs.
Dispersive replication would produce two copies of the DNA, both containing distinct regions of DNA composed of either both original strands or both new strands.
The deciphering of the structure of DNA by Watson and Crick in 1953 suggested that each strand of the double helix would serve as a template for synthesis of a new strand. However, there was no way of knowing how the newly synthesized strands might combine with the template strands to form two double helical DNA molecules. The semiconservative model seemed most reasonable since it would allow each daughter strand to remain associated with its template strand. The semiconservative model was supported by the Meselson-Stahl experiment[2][3] and other even more revealing experiments that allowed for autoradiographic visualization of the distribution of old and new strands within replicated chromosomes.
Experimental evidence confirmed that two lines were observed, therefore offering compelling evidence for the semi-conservative theory.
Rate and accuracy[edit]
The rate of semiconservative DNA replication in a living cell was first measured as the rate of phage T4 DNA strand elongation in phage-infected E. coli.[4] During the period of exponential DNA increase at 37 °C, the rate of strand elongation was 749 nucleotides per second. The mutation rate per base pair per round of replication during phage T4 DNA synthesis is 2.4 x 10−8.[5] Thus semiconservative DNA replication is both rapid and accurate.

Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr. is a documentary television series hosted by Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. that airs on PBS. In each episode, celebrities are presented with a "book of life" that is compiled with information researched by professional genealogists that allows them to view their ancestral histories, learn about familial connections, and discover secrets about their lineage. The series premiered on March 25, 2012. Season four concluded airing on December 19, 2017.[1]

Premise[edit]
The series uses traditional genealogical research and genetics to discover the family history of well-known Americans. Genetic techniques include Y-chromosome DNA, mitochondrial DNA, and autosomal DNA analyses to infer both ancient and recent genetic relationships. The series has examined the family histories of celebrity guests with African American, Asian American, British American, Chinese American, Dutch American, Greek American, Indian American, Irish American, Italian American, Jewish American, and Latin American heritage.
Each celebrity guest is given a book of life, which contains all of the information discovered about the guest's genealogy by researchers. Included in or with the book are comprehensive genetic results, a family tree that is as complete as paper research allows, copies of historical records used to assemble each tree, and photos of newly found family members. In some episodes, particularly episodes in which original DNA profiling research must be used to establish a past ancestor's parental link, guests are reunited with long-lost relatives. However, in most episodes, each guest is predominately shown seated opposite Gates as he guides them through their book of life. To show correlations between the guests family stories, each episode cuts back and forth between two or three guest stories. To draw further correlations Gates uses examples from his own genealogy quite frequently. Examples of this would be a grandmother of his having multiple children with a white man whose name she never revealed, as well as Gates' membership into the Sons of the American Revolution.
In addition to celebrity guests, everyday people are sometimes featured in an episode to create a third or fourth story line. Usually the non-celebrity guests are a group of peers. An example of this would be the episode in which Gates has his friends at his local barbershop take a DNA test to determine their ethnic makeup, each friend betting on their percentages of African, European, and Native American genetic heritage. Another episode uses a similar guessing game with students at a local school. Singular secondary guests include Robert Downey, Sr. and Margarett Cooper, the latter being a friend of Gates'.[2]
Production[edit]
Background[edit]
The series has seen two past incarnations on PBS, both of which were hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr. In 2006 and 2008 the series African American Lives aired. Both seasons of the series consisted of a season-long story line as well as an all African American cast. In 2010 Faces of America aired. Though it continued to use the season-long plot from the prior installment, it was the first installment hosted by Gates to include Americans of all ethnic and racial backgrounds. Starting with Finding Your Roots in 2012, the series redirected from a season-long plot, to having plots extending only within a single episode. In doing so it has allowed the series to extend its number of episodes each season to ten, opposed to the prior four episodes a season.[3]
Ethics problem[edit]
The show's third season was postponed by WNET after it was discovered that actor Ben Affleck had persuaded Gates to omit information about his slave-owning ancestors.[4][5][6] The series returned on January 5, 2016.[7]
