A cap is a form of headgear or headware. Caps have crowns that fit very close to the head. They have been used in almost every society, especially those societies which have colder weather.

They are popular in casual and informal settings, and are seen in sports and fashion.  They are designed for warmth, and often have a visor to block sunlight from the eyes. They come in many shapes, sizes, and are of different brands. Baseball caps are one of the most common types of cap.

Electrecord

Electrecord is a Romanian record label that started in 1932. It was the only record label in Communist Romania because their government believed in centralization.

History

Communist Romania
Electrecord was often told to make some recordings in Romania instead of importing them from Western Europe and the United States, which recording companies in the Soviet Union were doing. Many stories today say recordings made in Romania are worse due to their lower quality.

Electrecord had to make the government, listeners and musicians happy. Electrecord released some collection discs. The most successful ones were the Formaţii de muzică pop (pop music bands) series, named Formaţii rock (rock bands) starting with the fourth one. The government did not like the word "rock" for a kind of music.

After
Electrecord became less popular from 1990 because there were other record companies in Romania. Some artists stayed. Most discs released by Electrecord since 1990 have been greatest hits albums or remastered versions of LPs.

Electrecord released the album Songbird by pop singer-songwriter NAVI in June 2017.

A cobra roll is a part of a roller coaster. It is a double-inversion and it looks like the shape of a striking cobra's head. A cobra roll has two half-vertical loops facing the same direction joined together by two half corkscrews that each twist in opposite directions. The coaster train enters the cobra roll' low, completes the first half loop, then turns perpendicular into a half corkscrew, completing a first inversion. This is immediately followed by another half corkscrew that twists in the opposite direction into the other half vertical loop, completing a second inversion and exiting the cobra roll traveling in the opposite direction from which it entered.
