There were many small variations between the different flights, but the major upgrades are reflected in the change of name. Progress spacecraft - Progress. There were 42 spacecraft under the name Progress, the last one being launched in May 1990. The bureau in charge of designing the freighter was TsKBEM (now RKK Energia). They began work on the design in mid-1973, assigning Progress the rather cryptic designation 11F615A15. The design was complete by February, 1974, and the first production ...

A chord progression (also chord sequence and harmonic progression or sequence), as its name implies, is a series of chords played in an order. Part and parcel of this action is the idea that the chords relate to each other in some way, whether closely or distantly, and as a whole become an entity in themselves. Chord progressions are central to most modern European-influenced music and create cyclic or sectio ...

A Short History of Progress, written by Ronald Wright, describes how four historical civilizations (Easter Island, Sumer, Maya and Rome) self-destructed due to a lack of foresight and to wrong choices. His premise is that each time history repeats itself, the price goes up. In his analysis of the four cases, he notes that two (Easter Island and Sumer) failed due to depletion of natural resources—"their ecologies were unable to regenerate." The other two failed in their heartlands, "where ecological demand was hi ...

The Works Progress Administration (later Works Projects Administration, abbreviated WPA), was created on May 6, 1935 with the signing of U.S. Presidential Executive Order 7034.

A Rake's Progress is a series of the paintings and engravings by William Hogarth made from 1733 to 1735. The eight pictures show the decline and fall of Tom Rakewell, the spendthrift son and heir of a rich merchant, who comes to London, wastes all his money on luxurious living, whoring and gambling, and as a consequence is imprisoned in the Fleet Prison and ultimately Bedlam. In the first two paintings in the series Hogarth paints pictures showing high fashionable society, with the tailors, musicians and riders. The seco ...

The docking drogue is similar to that of the Soyuz but features ducting for the UDMH fuel and N2O4 oxidiser. A fuel compartment. The reentry module of the Soyuz was replaced with an unpressurized propellant and refueling compartment with ducting along the outs ...

The Union of Liberal and Progressive Synagogues was founded in 1902 as the Jewish Religious Union (JRU). Two of its founders were Claude Montefiore and Lily Montagu, and did not intend itself to be a separate denominations. Rather, synagogues affiliated with the JRU were interested in developing a form of authentic Judaism that was responsive to changes going on in the modern world, without going down the path of classical German Reform. Many of its members were inspired by Claude Montefiore's 1903 book "Liberal Judaism - An Es

If it be conceded that philosophical claims are a function of the sophistication of conceptual distinctions, arguments, and logical tools, and if it is conceded that there has been progress in making conceptual distinctions, in progressing in our sophistication about the nature of philosophical arguments, and progress in logic, then clearly there is progress in philosophy. Those who deny progress because of lack of agreement must take stock of the fact that agreements must be relativized to those who are taking part in the discussion. ...

In the postmodernist thought steadily gaining ground from the 1980s, the grandiose claims of the modenisers are steadily eroded, and the very concept of social progress is again questioned, relativised and scrutinised. In the new vision, revolutionaries like Stalin and Mao appear as mad, murderous totalitarian maniacs, whose vision of social progress appears totally deformed. What progress is made, if new industries are stamped out of the ground by state directives to supply consumer goods, but peasants are pressed into forced labour, ...

Progressive rock - Precursors. Image:King Crimson TopofThePopsLive1970.jpg Progressive rock was born from a variety of musical influences in the late 1960s. The later Beatles and many psychedelic bands began to combine traditional rock music with instruments from classical and Eastern music.

Progressive trance is popular sub-genre in trance music and contains elements of house, techno and ambient music. The basic formula of trance became even more focused on the anthemic qualities and melodies, moving away from predictable arpeggiated analog synth patterns (aka acid synth lines). Acoustic elements and spacey pads became popular, compositions leaned towards incremental changes (aka progressive structures), sometimes composed in thirds (like Brian Transeau frequently does). The sound became more and more ethereal and heavenly. Progressive trance contains very intuitive elements, such as unusual bassli ...

Progressive breaks is a relatively recent phenomenon, essentially growing out of nu skool breaks and progressive house. However, Way Out West was fusing progressive house, trance and breaks in a successful commercial fashion with "The Gift" and "Domination" in 1996 with Hybrid introducing "Symphony" the same year. It is mostly of a trancier feel, with plenty of atmospheric pads and melodies. Most artists working in the genre also work in its immediate relatives too, with only the likes of Hybrid really sticking to it consistently. That said, it is o ...

The origins of progressive metal can be traced back to progressive rock acts of the 1960s and '70s such as Yes, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Genesis and Rush. However, progressive metal did not develop into a genre of its own until the mid-1980s. Acts such as Queensrÿche, Stratovarius, Dream Theater and Fates Warning took elements of these progressive rock groups – primarily the instrumentation and compositional structure of songs – and merged them with heavy metal characteristics attributed to bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden. The result could be described as a progre ...

Progressive metal can be broken down into countless sub-genres corresponding to certain other styles of music that have influenced progressive metal groups. For example, two bands that are commonly identified as progressive metal, King's X and Opeth, are at opposite ends of the sonic spectrum to one another. King's X are greatly influenced by softer mainstream rock and grunge. Paradoxically, Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament once said, "King's X invented grunge," meaning that they influenced a genre which had influenced them. Opeth's growling vocals and heavy guitars (liberally intermixed with gothic-evocative acoustic ...
