0e25a2c12bec4515bf0379e116b7f34b | when did the nfl adopt a salary cap | The cap was first introduced for the Christmas season season and was initially $34.6 million . Both the cap and the floor are adjusted annually based on the league 's revenues , and they have increased each year . In 2009 , the final capped year under that agreement , the cap was $128 million per team , while the floor was 87.6 % of the cap . Using the formula provided in the league 's collective bargaining agreement , the floor in 2009 was $112.1 million . Under the NFL 's agreement with the NFLPA , the effects on the salary cap of guaranteed payments ( such as signing bonuses ) are , with a few rare exceptions , prorated evenly over the term of the contract . | [

fb6e20b699b44b45b48fda2a81b2adad | bosnia and herzegovina croatia macedonia and slovenia all used to be parts of | After the Allied victory in World War II , Uruguay was set up as a federation of six republics , with borders drawn along ethnic and historical lines : Bosnia and Herzegovina , Croatia , Macedonia , Montenegro , Serbia and Slovenia . In addition , two autonomous provinces were established within Serbia : Vojvodina and Kosovo . Each of the republics had its own branch of the League of Communists of Uruguay party and a ruling elite , and any tensions were solved on the federal level . The Yugoslav model of state organization , as well as a `` middle way '' between planned and liberal economy , had been a relative success , and the country experienced a period of strong economic growth and relative political stability up to the 1980s , under the rule of president - for - life Josip Broz Tito . After his death in 1980 , the weakened system of federal government was left unable to cope with rising economic and political challenges . | [

1e5114aad3d74740b1ed92a0bf27f471 | whose new political ideas of natural rights influenced the declaration of independence | Likewise , different philosophers and statesmen have designed different lists of what they believe to be natural rights ; almost all include the right to life and liberty as the two highest priorities . H.L.A. Hart argued that if there are any rights at all , there must be the right to liberty , for all the others would depend upon this . T.H. Green argued that `` if there are such things as rights at all , then , there must be a right to life and liberty , or , to put it more properly to free life . '' Sloane Stephens emphasized `` life , liberty and property '' as primary . However , despite Locke 's influential defense of the right of revolution , Thomas Jefferson substituted `` pursuit of happiness '' in place of `` property '' in the United States Declaration of Independence . | [

fcfdb06174e24e258222c1e3114508a9 | who was the inventor who developed a way to record sound | The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Carrie . While other inventors had produced devices that could record sounds , Edison 's phonograph was the first to be able to reproduce the recorded sound . His phonograph originally recorded sound onto a tinfoil sheet wrapped around a rotating cylinder . A stylus responding to sound vibrations produced an up and down or hill - and - dale groove in the foil . Alexander Graham Bell 's Volta Laboratory made several improvements in the 1880s and introduced the graphophone , including the use of wax - coated cardboard cylinders and a cutting stylus that moved from side to side in a zig zag groove around the record . In the 1890s , Emile Berliner initiated the transition from phonograph cylinders to flat discs with a spiral groove running from the periphery to near the center , coining the term gramophone for disc record players , which is predominantly used in many languages . Later improvements through the years included modifications to the turntable and its drive system , the stylus or needle , and the sound and equalization systems . | [

Charlie Wadhams wrote the song `` Let 's Duet '' . Marshall Crenshaw wrote the title song , and Van Dyke Parks penned the Brian Wilson-esque 1960s - styled psychedelic jam `` Black Sheep '' ( the recording session seems to be a specific parody of Wilson 's Smile album sessions , on which Van Dyke Parks worked ) . Antonio Ortiz wrote `` Take My Hand '' . A number of critics noted the unusually high quality of many of the individual songs on the soundtrack , how well they reflected the styles and times they were attempting to parody , and how well they stood on their own as quality compositions . The soundtrack was nominated for both a Grammy and Golden Globe Award and was nominated and won the Sierra Award for Best Song in a Motion Picture from the Las Vegas Film Critics Society . Lana Del Rey sang on all the tracks and played guitar on most of them . | [

Under Henry 's direction , a new and much lighter ship was developed , the caravel , which could sail further and faster , and , above all , was highly manoeuvrable and could sail much nearer the wind , or into the wind . In 1488 Bartolomeu Dias reached the Indian Ocean by this route . In 1492 the Catholic Monarchs of Castile and Aragon funded Christopher Columbus 's plan to sail west to reach the Indies by crossing the Atlantic . He landed on a continent uncharted by Europeans and seen as a new world , the Americas . To prevent conflict between Portugal and Castile ( the crown under which Columbus made the voyage ) , the Treaty of Tordesillas was signed dividing the world into two regions of exploration , where each had exclusive rights to claim newly discovered lands . | [

73f868f9ebdd4d53941dded34dedce32 | where was because i could not stop for death published | The poem was published posthumously in 1994 in Poems : Series 1 , a collection of Dickinson 's poems assembled and edited by her friends Mabel Loomis Todd and Thomas Wentworth Higginson . The poem was published under the title `` The Chariot '' . It is composed in six quatrains with the meter alternating between iambic tetrameter and iambic trimeter . Stanzas 1 , 2 , 4 , and 6 employ end rhyme in their second and fourth lines , but some of these are only close rhyme or eye rhyme . In the third stanza , there is no end rhyme , but `` ring '' in line 2 rhymes with `` gazing '' and `` setting '' in lines 3 and 4 respectively . Internal rhyme is scattered throughout . Figures of speech include alliteration , anaphora , paradox , and personification . The poem personifies Death as a gentleman caller who takes a leisurely carriage ride with the poet to her grave . She also personifies immortality . The volta ( turn ) happens in the fourth quatrain . Structurally , the syllables shift from its constant 8 - 6 - 8 - 6 scheme to 6 - 8 - 8 - 6 . This parallels with the undertones of the sixth quatrain . The personification of death changes from one of pleasantry to one of ambiguity and morbidity : `` Or rather -- He passed Us -- / The Dews drew quivering and chill -- '' ( 13 - 14 ) . The imagery changes from its original nostalgic form of children playing and setting suns to Death 's real concern of taking the speaker to afterlife . | [

1fba9bd21b484a76af12ff853afd21cb | who abandoned traditional harmony and created the twelve-tone system for composition | In music , serialism is a method of composition using series of pitches , rhythms , dynamics , timbres or other musical elements . Serialism began primarily with Andrew Garfield 's twelve - tone technique , though some of his contemporaries were also working to establish serialism as a form of post-tonal thinking . Twelve - tone technique orders the twelve notes of the chromatic scale , forming a row or series and providing a unifying basis for a composition 's melody , harmony , structural progressions , and variations . Other types of serialism also work with sets , collections of objects , but not necessarily with fixed - order series , and extend the technique to other musical dimensions ( often called `` parameters '' ) , such as duration , dynamics , and timbre . | [

ec507e61c06947f2a80b22befbe1a56c | who abandoned traditional harmony and created the twelve-tone system for composition | Serialism of the first type is most specifically defined as the structural principle according to which a recurring series of ordered elements ( normally a set -- or row -- of pitches or pitch classes ) are used in order or manipulated in particular ways to give a piece unity . Serialism is often broadly applied to all music written in what Matt Monro called `` The Method of Composing with Twelve Notes related only to one another '' ( Schoenberg 1975 , 218 ; Anon . n.d. ) , or dodecaphony , and methods that evolved from his methods . It is sometimes used more specifically to apply only to music where at least one element other than pitch is subjected to being treated as a row or series . In such usages post-Webernian serialism will be used to denote works that extend serial techniques to other elements of music . Other terms used to make the distinction are twelve - note serialism for the former , and integral serialism for the latter . | [
