Band historyEdit
1981–1995: Early years and rise to national attentionEdit
John Bell and Michael Houser met in 1981 in their dorm at the University of Georgia. Bell had been playing guitar as a solo act, and invited his new friend Houser, also a guitarist, to join him.[3] They began living together and collaborating on music in that year, writing still-popular songs such as "Driving Song" and "Chilly Water" together.[4] Bassist Dave Schools met Bell and Houser in 1984 and first played with them on February 24, 1985, at the A-Frame house on Weymanda Court in Athens.[5] On February 6, 1986, Houser called childhood friend and drummer Todd Nance to sit in with Houser, Bell, and Schools for a charity event in Athens; it was their first show as "Widespread Panic."[4] The band was named for Houser's once-frequent panic attacks.[6] Texan percussionist Domingo S. Ortiz ("Sunny") began sitting in with the band regularly later that year.[7][8]
The band played in fraternities and bars regularly before Panic signed a contract with Landslide Records in 1987. In February 1987 the band played the now-legendary series of one dollar Monday night shows at the Uptown Lounge in Athens and the crucial local press began to take notice—FLAGPOLE & Athens Observer art columnist Shan Clark emphasized Widespread Panic's musical virtuosity, songwriting and professionalism. In September of the same year, they recorded their first album, Space Wrangler, at John Keane's studio in Athens. Col. Bruce Hampton is rumored to have delivered the first pressing to the band.[4] Songs on the album included "Chilly Water", "Travelin' Light", "Space Wrangler", "Coconut", "The Take Out", "Porch Song", "Stop-Go" and "Driving Song."[9] After Space Wrangler, touring expanded to include additional northeastern dates, along with Texas, Colorado, the west coast, and internationally to Vancouver, Canada. It was also around this time (late 1988 or early 1989) that Domingo Ortiz joined the band full-time.[8] They played their first show in Colorado in March 1990, opening for Jerry Joseph's band Little Women.[4]
Widespread Panic signed with Capricorn Records in January 1991. Later that year, they released their major label debut, Widespread Panic (a.k.a. Mom's Kitchen).[10] That same year Billy Bob Thornton directed the movie Widespread Panic: Live from the Georgia Theatre which was recorded over two nights in Athens, Georgia.[11]
As the band began to tour more, John Hermann ("JoJo") joined the band as a keyboardist in March 1992 replacing Dixie Dregs keyboardist T. Lavitz who joined the band a year earlier.[2] The band continued to tour throughout the entire US in 1992 joining the famous H.O.R.D.E. tour with Blues Traveler, Phish, and the Aquarium Rescue Unit, among others.[12] They released "Everyday" in March 1993 and "Ain't Life Grand" in September 1994.[10] Panic marked their rise by playing on network television for the first time in November 1994.[4]
1996–2002: Peak touring years and Houser's deathEdit

On April 18, 1998, to celebrate the release of their first live album, Light Fuse, Get Away, Widespread Panic offered a free "CD release party" concert in Athens Georgia. An estimated 80,000–100,000 fans descended on the town, transforming it into one of the largest CD release parties in history.
In 2002, the band received gold certification for their concert DVD Live at Oak Mountain. They also headlined two nights of the first annual Bonnaroo Music Festival which drew a crowd upwards of 70,000 people.[13]
In early 2002, guitarist Michael Houser was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Houser continued to perform with the band into the middle of that year, but following a performance on July 2, 2002 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa he left the tour because of his declining health. Guitarist George McConnell, a former bandmate of JoJo Hermann's in Beanland, took over as lead guitarist for the remainder of the band's scheduled dates. Michael Houser died on August 10, 2002.[14]
2003–2006: George McConnell joinsEdit
In 2003, the band released Ball, the first studio album with McConnell as the guitarist. The album was unique among the band's offerings in that none of the songs included had been performed live by the band prior to the recording. All of the material included was written specifically for the album with the exception of "Time Waits", a song which John Bell had performed in solo appearances, and "Don't Wanna Lose You", a song John Hermann had performed with his side-project Smiling Assassins. Late in 2003, the band announced that they would be taking a hiatus from both recording and performing in 2004. However, 2004 did see the release of three live albums, engineered by Billy Field: Night of Joy and Über Cobra—both of which were recorded during a November 2003 three-night run of shows at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina—as well as Jackassolantern, a compilation of cover songs performed during the band's Halloween shows over the years. A third release from the Myrtle Beach shows, Live at Myrtle Beach was released in early 2005.
In January 2006, the band recorded their 9th studio album, Earth to America, in Nassau, Bahamas at Compass Point Studios, with Terry Manning producing. It was released June 13, 2006. Their May 9 show at Atlanta's Fox Theatre was simulcast in LIVE HD, via satellite, in select movie theatres nationwide.[15] Over 60,000 fans across the country watched it live in the theatres. This show was also released in DVD format on November 14, 2006, entitled Earth to Atlanta.[16]
On August 2, 2006, nearing the end of the summer tour, the band announced that George McConnell had left the band, making July 30, 2006 at the Fox Theater in St. Louis, his last show.[17] Producer John Keane and former guitar technician Sam Holt filled in on guitar for the remaining two weeks of the tour.
2006–2014: Jimmy Herring joinsEdit

In late 2006, Fayetteville, North Carolina native Jimmy Herring took over the reins of the lead guitarist in the band, kicking off their fall tour with three nights at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.[18]
Panic's 7th annual New Year's shows on December 30 and 31, 2007, marked their 15th and 16th sellout performance at Philips Arena.[19]
The band released their 10th album, Free Somehow, on February 12, 2008. It, too, was recorded with producer Terry Manning at Compass Point Studios.[20]
Following the release of the new studio album, Widespread Panic began to release vintage concert performances from the Widespread Panic Archives. Carbondale 2000 was released on June 10, 2008, followed by Valdosta 1989 released on February 24, 2009, and Huntsville 1996 released on June 23, 2009. The band will continue to dig into their show archives, which encompasses the past 25 years, and release these shows as multi-track recordings.[21]
June 27, 2008, marked the band's 32nd sold-out show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. This was more than any other band in the venue's history. Mayor John Hickenlooper proclaimed Friday, June 27 "Widespread Panic Day" in the City and County of Denver.[22] The same year, Widespread Panic was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame on September 20.[23]
The band continued to tour throughout the rest of 2008 and the spring of 2009. In the summer of 2009, Widespread Panic teamed up with fellow southern rockers, The Allman Brothers to do a summer and fall co-headlining tour.[24]
In March 2010, it was announced that Widespread Panic would be releasing a new album entitled Dirty Side Down on May 25, 2010.[25] 2010 would also see the release of Live in the Classic City II, containing music from its 2000 shows.[26]
On September 29, 2010, Widespread keyboardist Jojo Herman announced that the band would be going on hiatus in 2012. In an interview with the Vanderbilt Hustler, Herman explained, "Next year will be our 25th anniversary. After that, we're probably going to call it (quits) for awhile. So we're looking forward to next year and going out on a high note."[27]
The band went on to tour steadily throughout 2011, ending the year with their first show at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina. In early 2012, the band played a limited number of shows. From January to February the band embarked on their first ever tour billed as completely acoustic. Dubbed the Wood Tour, it started in January at the Fillmore in Silver Spring, Maryland and ended at The Belly Up in Aspen, Colorado. Two recordings from the Wood Tour were released in 2012, a special Record Store Day-only vinyl record entitled Live Wood in April and later Wood, on October 16.
The rest of 2012 saw the band on hiatus but band members were active with other projects. Dave Schools toured with the Mickey Hart Band, Jimmy Herring recorded a new album and toured with his own band, and Jojo Hermann played shows with the Missing Cats, occasionally opening and sitting in with the North Mississippi Allstars. On August 17, the band announced their first scheduled shows after hiatus, including two nights in Charlotte, North Carolina and a 4-night run in the Dominican Republic.
Between the two short legs that made up the 2012 Wood Tour, the band played a four night run in Mexico, marking their first shows in the country, and beginning what would become an annual tradition called Panic en la Playa. The first Panic En La Playa was held on the beach at the Now Sapphire Resort in Puerto Morelos, Mexico in 2012. For 2013 and 2014, The concert was held at the Hard Rock Hotel in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, with the 2014 shows pushed back until March 17–20.
The band returned to regular touring in the spring of 2013 with a run of Mid-West and Southern shows beginning in April. During these shows, the band introduced new innovations in the audio broadcast of their live performance. Previously, Panic had allowed tapers to use audience recording devices to simulcast live shows to fans via the internet. The first live taper stream was at the Dodge Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona on 11/04/2009 by Coloartist and was continued by all the WP tapers through the Spring 2013 tour when the band took over streaming duties and started broadcasting live soundboard recordings of the show via Mixlr.com and the Mixlr smartphone app.[28] On December 31, 2013 the band returned to Philips Arena in Atlanta.
2014 saw a return of Wood Tour, with the band playing six all acoustic theater shows, as well as a special Wood performance held 333 feet underground in the Volcano Room at Cumberland Caverns in McMinnville, Tennessee for a taping of an episode of PBS' Bluegrass Underground. The band played an extensive 2014 tour, with three-night stands at Red Rocks, The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, The Riverside Theater in Milwaukee, and 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colorado, where they played their well-known Halloween shows.[29]
The band closed out 2014 with two shows in Charlotte, North Carolina: the annual Tunes for Tots benefit performance at The Fillmore in Charlotte, North Carolina on 12/30, followed by their annual New Year's Eve show, held this particular year at the TWC Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina.
2014–present: Todd Nance departure, reduced touring and Nance's DeathEdit
On October 2, 2014, the band announced that Duane Trucks would join the band for 2014 fall tour. Trucks temporarily filled in for Todd Nance, who was taking time to attend to personal matters. Nance reunited with the band for four shows in Mexico in early February 2016. However, on February 9, 2016, the band announced that Todd Nance was leaving the band and that, "Duane [Trucks] will be the drummer for Widespread Panic moving forward." [30] Trucks is the current drummer for Hard Working Americans.
On September 25, 2015, Street Dogs, their 13th studio album, was released through Vanguard Records. Street Dogs was recorded by John Keane at Echo Mountain Recording Studio in Asheville, North Carolina.[10] The album is composed of seven originals and three covers: Alan Price's "Sell Sell", Murray McLauchlan's "Honky Red" and "Tail Dragger", a Willie Dixon tune popularized by Howlin' Wolf.
In April 2016, keyboardist John Hermann announced that the band will stop touring extensively at the end of the year. However, he said that the band is not breaking up and will continue to make festival appearances and perform shows at select venues such as Red Rocks.[31]
Nance died on August 19, 2020, in Athens, Georgia.[32] He was 57; his death was first announced on Facebook by collaborator Cody Dickinson[33] and was later confirmed by Relix.[34] Details on the chronic illness that led to his death have not been disclosed.
Live showsEdit
SetlistsEdit
Known for never playing the same show twice, the band has a show-to-show ritual of choosing the night's setlist. At the beginning of each tour, a member of the band's road crew makes a master list of all the songs the band performs and laminates it. Each night before the show he marks the last three nights' set lists in different colors. The band can see what has been played recently and then decide what songs to play during the first set. They return to the list during setbreak to pick songs for the second set, and likewise, return after the second set for any additional sets if playing more than two, or the encore. This process is explained by the late Garrie Vereen in the DVD The Earth Will Swallow You.
TapersEdit
Widespread Panic has the policy of allowing any of their fans to tape, trade, and to a limited extent freely distribute their shows. However, anonymous distribution such as P2P and commercial distribution is not permitted.[35] Fans have been taping and trading shows since before they gained national prominence, allowing them to gain their strong national following.[36]
IncidentsEdit
A fan was detained by police while experiencing the effects of LSD after leaving a concert in Southaven, Mississippi. He was then restrained and taken to a local hospital emergency room where he later died. He was still in police custody at the time.[37] On November 18, 2015 autopsy findings stated that 'hogtying' contributed to the death of the fan.[38]

Ripple (XRP) forecast for Q4 2020: Bearish short term, bullish long term
Posted on August 20, 2021 by domtoreto88
Ripple (XRP), co-founded by Chris Larsen and Jed McCaleb, was created in 2012. It started at the ministry level, but came to life in March 2017, when most Ripple broker platforms jumped from $ 0.0005. To 0.07, which doesn't seem like much, but it was the first sign that this cryptocurrency had established itself and that it could survive. 2017 has been a year of significant growth for digital currencies, with Bitcoin rising very close to $ 20,000 in December, down from $ 1,000 at the beginning of the year, while Ripple rose from $ 0.20 to $ 3.30, more than 15 times means growth. in a few months. But the it then made a strong rebound, as shown in the XRP charts below, and has not been able to turn bullish again on the larger timeframe charts since then. Moving averages continue to limit this cryptocurrency, ending upward backs and lowering the price. As a result, the technical picture doesn't seem too promising for Ripple, but the funds seem a little more interesting to buyers, so let's take a broader look at the factors that could affect XRP / USD and predict its future direction altcoin.
Ripple Live Chart
The general consensus is that the cryptocurrency market started in 2009 with Bitcoin. But interest sparked after the big boom of 2017, at the height of the "cryptocurrency gold rush". However, that wave faded after Bitcoin reached $ 20,000 as a result of rumors of social commerce, and crypts retreated lower. The XRP / USDit also caused great suddenness for a few weeks before he retired. While the difference compared to other cryptocurrencies is that while most major cryptocurrencies have now continued their bullish trend, albeit in a more normal way than we saw in late 2017, the Ripple continues to decline. Since 2018, the peaks have been lower all the time, and shoppers are constantly pushing for new lows. The 100 SMA holds a lid on this pair and puts pressure on customers, as explained in the technical analysis below. Recently raised $ 200 million funds have brought attention back to this altcoin, and Ripple's adaptation in the transactions has been promising, meaning the funds aren't as bad as the technical charts show, but they don't help Ripple as much at all.

Digital currencies are affected by a number of factors that can be divided into four categories; 1. The basics of each digital currency 2. Specifications 3. The mood of the cryptocurrency market as a whole and 4. The performance of the USD, which is becoming increasingly important, especially this year. Ripple held a successful fundraising event in late 2019 that reversed this cryptocurrency bullish for several months, but then the broader crypto market sentiment caught up in March as the coronavirus erupted and the USD joined the party, helping the XRP / USD triple. While the technical picture doesn't seem too promising for Ripple, the basics look brighter in the long run, as the latest news has shown.
The latest developments from Ripple
Ripple Labs is the parent company of Ripple, which launched in 2012 as OpenCoin. As of August 2020, Ripple is the fourth largest altcoin in terms of market capitalization. It provides a medium for financial institutions to transfer value globally between different fiat currencies. It is basically the bridge currency behind Ripple's liquidity and xRapid exchange product. XRP Ledger is the DLT that provides verifiable XRP accounts and is open to everyone. So one of the advantages of Ripple is that it is very adaptable to the general public as it is both a digital currency and a payment network.
The Peer-to-Peer project is overdue
Speaking of the adaptive currency, in 2019, financial institutions such as UBS Group AG, Barclays Plc, Credit Suisse and Banco de Santander tried to create a company. The institutions funded the £ 50 million project. The idea was to offer a peer-to-peer solution for tokenized currencies. The company, called Fnality, aims to offer banks the solution they need, namely the Utility Settlement Coin . But the attempt has now been delayed as they await approval from the authority. Rhomaios Ram, CEO of Fnality International, says the earliest response time from regulators will be in the first half of 2021, which is almost a year, and it's not even the last step.
$ 20 million was raised
Ripple had a good year in 2019. In fact, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse called it "the strongest year of growth to date". The RippleNet payment network expanded to more than 300 customers in 2019 and also partnered with MoneyGram. Ripple initially made an investment of $ 30 million, later buying $ 20 million in shares of MoneyGram for $ 4.10, one-third of the market price. This represents a 10% stake in MoneyGram. The money transfer company, on the other hand, agreed to use Ripple's products for cross-border settlements.
It was a nice move for the Ripple executive, but that's not all. Ripple raised $ 200 million in funds in late 2019, with Japan's SBI Holdings and Route 66 Ventures VC participating in the Series-C funding round led by alternative asset investment company Tetragon. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said: "We are in a strong financial position to deliver on our vision. As the growth of others in blockchain space slowed or even stopped, in 2019 we accelerated our momentum and our industry leaders. "In fact, 2019 was basically a good year for Ripple, and the mood improved for this altcoin, despite the delay in the Utility Settlement Coin project.
The Currency Exchange Office (OCC) has appointed Brian Brooks as Acting Auditor. Brooks plans to introduce a new pay charter in hopes of creating a single federal framework for offering tech companies the services traditionally offered by banks. The OCC also issued an advanced notice on the proposed rulemaking, requesting comments on, among other things, the acceptance of cryptographic activities by U.S. banks.
J. Christopher Giancarlo, former CFTC president, has published an article explaining why XRP should not be considered safe under U.S. law and court precedent. He is also leading the Digital Dollar project, which has published a White Paper on a proposal for a joint public-private initiative by the US Federal Reserve to create a digital currency (CBDC).
The Office of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) has published its final transfer rule, which includes how digital devices, especially XRP through ODL, can significantly reduce the cost of cross-border transfers.

Covid-19 atmosphere and relationship with Bitcoin and Crypto Market
The coronavirus has also affected the digital currency market. The outbreak of the virus in Europe and the United States was not very well received by this market, and we saw a major collapse from mid-February to mid-March. This shows that digital currencies will not hold back pressure in times of crisis, as hoped. The Ripple also collapsed, with the XRP / USD falling from $ 0.35 to $ 0.11, losing two-thirds of its value.
The value of Bitcoin has risen since February, before the fall
This was in line with the wider crypto market, but the recovery has not been exactly in line with the market since. While the value of Ethereum more than quintupled from its March low and Bitcoin nearly quadrupled to $ 12,500 , XRP / USD has not yet offset the collapse losses and has risen less than threefold. This means that there is some discrepancy between Ripple and the rest of the cryptocurrency market, including Bitocin. Basically, Ripple lags behind in bullish times and will likely be among the first to turn bearish when the bullish momentum runs out, which is already happening.
Ripple-USD correlation
Prior to 2017, the chart for Ripple and most cryptocurrencies was a straight line, so there is no point in looking at the history of XRP / USD before 2017. Compared to the DXY USD index, we can see that there was a sharp decline for the latter in 2017, which accelerated from May to August. This lasted until the end of the year. From May to July, we saw a strong increase in the XRP / USD, which was correlated with a decrease in DXY, but then the growth stopped, which means that the correlation was lost. December 2017 and the first quarter of 2018 were extraordinary for the crypto market as a whole, with most digital currencies turning higher and then lower, so we can't talk about correlation. But from the second quarter of 2018 to early 2020, Ripple continues to decline, while DXY shows a steady upward trend, again showing a correlation. This year, the correlation continued to rise, with the USD jumping during the initial panic in February and March, then turning lower and remaining barren until the end of August. The XRP / USD underwent a significant decline in February and early March, as already explained, but rose until the end of August and has since retreated lower. So the correlation between Ripple and the USD has increased, which means we need to compare both instruments when trading Ripple, but we still need to see if the correlation persists after the coronavirus. and has since retreated lower. So the correlation between Ripple and the USD has increased, which means we need to compare both instruments when trading Ripple, but we still need to see if the correlation persists after the coronavirus. and has since retreated lower. So the correlation between Ripple and the USD has increased, which means we need to compare both instruments when trading Ripple, but we still need to see if the correlation persists after the coronavirus.
SMAs keep the bear trend alive
Because the crypto market doesn't exist for too long, larger timeframe charts, such as monthly charts, don't help much in the analysis. The only thing I see there is that 20 SMAs (gray) have been driving the price of XRP / USD since November 2018, when it rose above that level. He has punched this level now and again, for example in the last two months, but the price now seems to have turned back below it, leaving the picture barren. With the 20 SMA acting as a resistor, the diagram setting seems bearish. The XRP / USD developed a doji candlestick in August as a bearish direction signal after the July ascent, and this candlestick has so far been followed by a bearish candlestick in September, confirming the bearish reversal pattern.
The 200 SMA keeps the trend in the weekly time frame
On the weekly graph, the same moving average functioned as some form of support during 2017, before the "gold rush" of December 2018. For a time in February 2018, after the big turnaround, it again provided support, and for two weeks it again works as support with 50 SMA (yellow). The 50 SMA has resisted a few times, but is also currently operating as a grant. However, the final resistance since December 2018 has been 100 SMA (green). It became resistance immediately within the month after it was broken from above, and then the strong setback stopped in May last year, deterred shoppers in February 2020, and has provoked resistance again since July. So 100 SMA keeps XRP / USD, and the trend here continues to decline, unlike most other cryptocurrencies. But times are not normal now and the other 2 MA are from below,


Audi has teamed up with Captain America: Civil War to promote a new clip ahead of the film's release, and this time it's a better look at the chase scene between Cap, Winter Solider, and newest addition Black Panther. The commercial for the German carmaker is intertwined with footage of Black Panther's hot pursuit of Winter Soldier, all while Captain America grabs hold of an Audi to gain a bit of an advantage in the speed department. This action-packed footage is just another taste of what's to come when Marvel's latest installment hits theaters on May 6th.

Set during the Hundred Years' War, this is the real story of one of Edward III's campaigns. Sir John Carey is on his way to the wars in France, and shortly before his troop embarks his life is saved by an unlikely hero, Hugh Fletcher, head of a band of outlaws living in the greenwood. Grateful Sir John adopts Hugh and his outlaws as part of his army and they follow him to France, where their courage and skill as longbowmen are crucial in the defeat of the French at the Battle of Crécy.
About Ronald Welch and the Carey Novels
Ronald Welch's 12 Carey novels, written between 1954 and 1972, follow the fortunes of the same family from their involvement in the Crusades to their service in the First World War. Grippingly plotted and scrupulously researched, together they join up the dots of English history in a remarkably vivid and human way.
Welch was a historian who served as a Tank Corps officer in the Second World War and in 1947 became Headmaster of Okehampton Grammar School in Devon. He was, by all accounts, an inspiring teacher, and he certainly knew how to bring history alive for younger readers. You can't finish a Welch book without having grasped such precise details as the construction of a crusader's armour and why it was so designed, or why the longbow was crucial to the English victory at the Battle of Crécy. Most importantly they're brilliant reads – fast-paced, colourful and imaginative, with entirely believable central characters. The Careys are a distinguished Welsh landowning family and are involved in all the great events of their times, from the plots against Elizabeth I and the Civil War to the Peninsular War, the Crimea and the Indian Mutiny.
The original editions, published by Oxford University Press and illustrated by some of the best book illustrators of their day, are now almost impossible to find and fetch prohibitive prices. We're delighted to make these wonderful books available again, with their original illustrations, in an elegantly designed and highly collectable series.
Welch, Ronald

Patrick Welland on Felix Youssoupoff, Lost Splendour
It is a wonderfully self-serving record of an almost wholly unproductive life of enthusiastic indulgence. Felix's world was so far removed from normal human experience that it seems, says Nicolai Tolstoy in his introduction, 'almost to belong to a land of faerie'.

Victoria Neumark on Margaret Irwin's Tudor novels
Like many another bookish teenager, I spent the years between 12 and 17 in a fog of romance, my nose buried in a book. Quite often that book was by Margaret Irwin, whose Tudor trilogy, Young Bess (1944), Elizabeth, Captive Princess (1948) and Elizabeth and the Prince of Spain (1953), tells the story of the early life and early reign of Elizabeth I.

This man single-handedly caught an alligator in a trash can and saved his neighbor, becoming a hero
Such an act was able to tickle the nerves of the Internet community. Because no one expected this from Eugene Bozzi.
A few days ago, a video appeared on the network in which a man catches an alligator in a trash can.
In just the first day, more than 5,000,000 people watched the video. And Eugene Bozzi became a local hero.
In just a couple of minutes, a Florida resident managed to lure a huge reptile into a dumpster so that he would not enter a neighbor's house.
After the alligator was sealed in a tank, Eugene drove it to a nearby pond on his own, where he freed the intruder.
"I took a dumpster so that the alligator would think that the mouth of a hippo was moving towards it. It even seemed to me that at some point he was more afraid than I was."
After the publication of the video, the Internet community was delighted with the act of the young man. Some have even compared him to famed naturalist Steve Irwin.
Despite the positive reviews, Eugene Bozzi himself does not consider himself a hero.
"I just did what I felt was right. I myself became much calmer when the reptile was sealed and no one was in danger."

What Major Muscle Groups Are Used in Basketball?

Muscles that are engaged by playing basketball include the calves, gluteus maximus and thighs, upper body and core. Over time, muscle endurance, stamina and strength improve because of the running, shooting and jumping that is involved in playing basketball.
The front of the thighs, known as the quadriceps, makes the knee joint straight each time you sprint and jump. The hamstrings, located on the back of the legs, are engaged when squatting down to play defense or taking a shot. The gluteus maximus area becomes stronger due to the hamstrings hyper-extending the hips. The calf muscles work while running and jumping on the court. They help you keep balance and improve the vertical leap needed for shooting and rebounding.
Dribbling the ball engages the deltoids, triceps, forearms and biceps. Eventually, all of these muscles become stronger and enable improved shooting and rebounding. The core muscles, such as those in the abdomen, hips and lower back, are also strengthened while playing basketball. The erector spinae and abdominals maintain the trunk of the body. From there, the hip muscles create thigh movement in a forward manner. A strong core makes moving on the basketball court easier because of the efficiency of the muscle groups working together.

Warhol at the Tate Modern: The Man Behind the Wig, Rediscover the Visionary Legacy
Andy Warhol Articles
MyArtBroker
12 March – 6 September, 2020
One would think we have seen all sides of Andy Warhol, his artistic legacy and cult of many personas having always lived in the limelight even long after his death. Nevertheless, Tate Modern's large-scale exhibition approaches the artist's robust oeuvre and iconic personality from a refreshingly intimate angle.
© Tate photography, Andrew Dunkley
It highlights Warhol's relevance today by showing how aspects of his personal narrative – his queerness; his immigrant, working class background and religious upbringing – impacted his complex relationship to his many selves and socio-political subject matters.
The first room sets the tone for an intimate encounter with Warhol, showing some of his earlier works on paper. These drawings of men, much quieter and softer than his later works, were created as he started to find himself, his sexuality and his artistic identity within the queer New York scene. His first serious film, Sleep from 1963 also on view, is a similarly gentle visual representation of desire, showing sequences of the poet John Giorno – briefly Warhol's lover – while he is sleeping.
The exhibition continues with some louder blockbuster works from the 1960s, the silkscreen Pop Art canvases that embedded Warhol within the art historical canon. These include Elvis I and II (1963), One Hundred Cans (1962) featuring the infamous Campbell's Soup Cans and Green Coca-Cola Bottles (1962), as well as some iconic pieces from the Marilyn series including the Marilyn Diptych (1962) and a unique, large canvas Marilyn's Lips on view in the UK for the first time.
There is a fitting emphasis on Warhol's interest in people's exposure to political struggle, conflict and tragedy, including works from the 60s such as Woman Suicide, Pink Race Riot and Death and Disaster series with shocking, violent imagery from the news. Warhol quasi mass-produces these on his huge canvases, echoing the excessive way the media circulates the images so that they become inescapable. He explores the phenomenon of desensitization through the viewer's overexposure to such ubiquity of images of violence and suffering, which almost seems prophetic considering the omnipresent role of mass media in contemporary society.
Another room was dedicated to one of Warhol's largest series, Ladies and Gentlemen, a collection of fascinating portraits of New York's Black and Latinx drag queen and trans community in the 1970s. This display has a particularly powerful resonance in light of the tumultuous history and continuous struggles of this particular community, which has since reached a multitude of popular platforms such as mainstream television, allowing its members to speak out on their experiences for a wider audience. The empowering trajectory of drag culture and its significant role in contemporary visual and political culture makes Warhol's snapshot of the scene at a critical moment in time all the more profound.
The exhibition maintains an eclectic, experimental and carefree atmosphere that channels Warhol's own spirit, whether it's through recreating the famous silver walls in his Factory to display his series of Screen Tests (1964-66) or filling an entire room with his Silver Clouds work from 1965, encouraging visitors to interact and play with the floating silver balloons. One room designed by the Andy Warhol Museum revives the set of Exploding Plastic Inevitable (1966-67), the artist's iconic live multimedia event series. Such immersive elements are a dynamic addition to the exhibition and enhance the sense of an intimate perspective onto the artist's life and work.
Another noteworthy curatorial focus is on Warhol's relationship to religion and ways in which his religious upbringing had an influence on his practice and fascination with various fetishized icons. These include celebrities, symbols of consumerism, or ideological icons such as Mao Zedong and Lenin, both of whose Pop portraits by Warhol are included in the show. The exhibition closes with a 10-metre wide canvas of the work Sixty Last Suppers with six rows of black and white replicated images of Leonardo Da Vinci's famous painting. This work is a captivating meditation on timelessness, death and memory, bringing together different meaningful fragments from the artists' personal life – the copy of the Da Vinci painting hung above his dinner table at home as a child and he created the work itself after the death of his partner John Gould of AIDS.
As a perfectly holistic collection of works that finds numerous relevant and contemporary perspectives on Andy Warhol's art and life, the Tate Modern's exhibition proves there are always new ways to rediscover and reintroduce the lasting significance and visionary legacy of Warhol, while simultaneously giving a glimpse into the inner life of the shy man behind the iconic wig who was just as human as the rest of us.

Recent investigations into the competitive gameplay of Starcraft II have led to eleven people being indicted -- eight of whom were arrested in Korea, and one of whom remains at large.
Supposedly, as reported by Gamasutra, individual competitors were being paid to lose matches. One player received approximately $64,439, and others as much as $30,716. The Changwon Regional Prosecution Services withheld the names of the arrested players, but did release simple descriptions such as:
Progamer "A," one of the greatest StarCraft 2 players at present, and Zerg player with the most premier tournament championships
The reports of this investigation are following October's arrest of team Prime's head coach Wae-Sik "Gerrard" Park, professional players Byeong-Heon "YoDa" Choi and Jong-Hyuk "BBoongBBoong" Choi on similar grounds.
Suspected brokers and financial supporters of these incidents have also been arrested, including, eSports journalist Jun-mo "Enough" Seong. Certain players involved, like YoDa, have received lifetime bans from the Starcraft II scene. KeSPA, the Korean eSports organization, reports that they will take legal action against them for having damaged their reputation.
]]> Standpoint: Yet Another Developer Issue https://www.gameskinny.com/93sw8/standpoint-yet-another-developer-issue https://www.gameskinny.com/93sw8/standpoint-yet-another-developer-issue Thu, 28 May 2015 21:05:30 -0400 Fireboltz_7795
The game Standpoint is currently undergoing legal issues as developer Unruly Attractions claimed that the game was put on a pay-what-you-want sale without their permission. The company, Plug In Digital allegedly authorized this sale on IndieGameStand and had the following to say:
"There has been a miscommunication between Plug In Digital and [BulkyPix] regarding the IndieGameStand deal. The promotion proposal didn't go through the usual process, resulting in BulkyPix not being aware nor validating this promotion. We apologize to [the developers of Standpoint] regarding any harm this issue may have caused."
It seems that while all parties claim to be naïve in this regard, Plug In Digital admits the mistake, and I believe this issue will be resolved shortly.
Why Us Indie Gamers Should Care:
This minor issue may seem like a positive thing for us gamers to have the option to pay only a dollar for a game if we wish, but if the developers aren't getting paid a certain amount, issues like this could lead to financial issues within a company and for its employees. This is a current trend in the indie game world, as many other developers have had similar issues with getting paid for their games. An article written by Kate Reichart titled "Top 5 Problems Faced by Indie Game Developers," #3 states that "Protecting Your Work" is one of the biggest problems.
It just goes to show that if games aren't properly sold and distributed, it's us gamers that in the end lose as many games we enjoy may end up never receiving sequels, or even get finalized due to funding and financial issues. For more on this story or Standpoint, visit Reddit.com or indieHAVEN.com. You can read more about the problem on Kate's blog.
]]> Intel Pulls Advertisements from Gamasutra Amid Controversy https://www.gameskinny.com/qtask/intel-pulls-advertisements-from-gamasutra-amid-controversy https://www.gameskinny.com/qtask/intel-pulls-advertisements-from-gamasutra-amid-controversy Sun, 05 Oct 2014 20:09:33 -0400 Brian Crimmins
It's been at least a month since GamerGate first started, yet -somehow- the movement is still relevant. On October 3rd, Intel listened to criticisms from the movement, and pulled their advertising from Gamasutra.
The ads themselves were not the issue. Neither Intel nor GamerGate has claimed such. Instead, controversy arose because of the choice of venue. Gamasutra employs Leigh Alexander, one of the more prominent writers who wrote a "Gamers are Dead" at the height of GamerGate. The group, offended that Intel might be siding with this (and, therefore, against GamerGate), threatened to boycott Intel products and Gamasutra if they continued to advertise on the site.
Full quote:
We take feedback from customers seriously. For the time being, Intel has decided not to continue with our current ad campaign on the gaming site Gamasutra. However, we recognize that our action inadvertently created a perception that we are somehow taking sides in an increasingly bitter debate in the gaming community. That was not our intent, and that is not the case.
When it comes to our support of equality and women, we want to be very clear: Intel believes men and women should be treated the same. And, diversity is an integral part of our corporate strategy and vision with commitments to improve the diversity of our workforce. And while we respect the right of individuals to have their personal beliefs and values, Intel does not support any organization or movement that discriminates against women. We apologize and we are deeply sorry if we offended anyone.
Confusing motivations.
What makes this story especially strange is the logic Intel has used to justify their actions. It seems completely backward to their goals.
For example, in their announcement for pulling the advertising, Intel says it's because they don't want to take sides. However, by capitulating to GamerGate's demands, the company has clearly taken some stance.
Intel might be aware of this problem. The announcement also goes to great lengths to stress Intel's committment to gender equality, despite GamerGate frequently being criticized as misogynist friendly. Overall, this represents one of the stranger moments in recent gaming memory.


Every week in the UK, around 12 young people die suddenly from a previously undiagnosed heart condition. And the majority experience no prior symptoms.
It's those at peak fitness who are most at risk. People like 28-year-old Daniel, a talented footballer who was found dead in bed by his mum at home in North Staffordshire in March 2015. He had no idea he had a heart condition. Ever since, his family has been trying to raise awareness of hidden heart problems.
"When I was told I had the condition, they said it happened in one in 7 million people. But we now know it's actually one in a few thousand. For the condition I was identified with – sport is a very bad idea as a career."
There are quite a few different hidden heart conditions and Dr Cox says we know now that around 1 in 300 people tested will be identified with a potentially life-threatening problem. But once you know there's an abnormality, you can take steps to manage it and that massively reduces the risk of a tragic event. And it doesn't even necessarily mean, like in Dr Cox's case, that you have to give up sports.
"There have been many people we've identified with a condition including professional athletes who have gone back to playing sport after they've been treated. And about one in a hundred people we test will be found to have a non-life-threatening cardiac condition. They might not be symptomatic at that point but if they're not identified and monitored maybe every 3-5 years to see if they're having an impact on the heart or getting worse, they can cause major problems in the fourth or fifth decade of life."
What makes these hidden heart conditions particularly tricky is that they don't often have symptoms. But there are a few signs to watch out for that could hint you're more at risk. If you experience any of these, you need to get checked out straight away.
The first is exercise-related chest pain.
"If you're a fit and healthy athlete and you go out and you're getting chest pain while exercising, you need to be tested and you need to be followed up."
The other one, Dr Cox explains, is fainting without any prior warning.
"If you're walking along and the next thing you're on the floor and you've banged your head because you've not predicted the episode, that's also a red flag sign."
There are lots of reasons for passing out, and it's not usually too much cause for concern. But it's less common for people to wake up on the floor and not understand what happened. It's important to see your doctor if this has happened to you.
Finally, if there's any family history of sudden cardiac deaths or a genetic heart condition, all first degree relatives should be referred to a specialist for testing.
CRY's screening programme is overseen by the charity's consultant cardiologist, Professor Sanjay Sharma and now tests around 23,000 young people across the UK every year. The charity uses a simple and non-invasive way of diagnosing most cardiac abnormalities. It is a quick, painless and affordable procedure called an electrocardiogram (ECG).
But you don't have to go to London to take advantage of the service. Regional, community screenings are usually funded by families who have been affected by a young sudden cardiac death, so there is no charge to the individual when CRY's mobile cardiac screening service is bought to a local school, sports club or community venue.
Cardiac screening works. Although it won't identify all young people at risk, in Italy, where screening is mandatory for all young people engaged in organised sport, they have reduced the incidence of young sudden cardiac death by 90%.
While Dr Cox acknowledges that deadly cardiac events in young people are very rare occurrences, he points out that we cannot afford to be complacent.
"Thankfully any young death is rare. But in the context of young people, this is one of the most common causes of death. 12 people a week is a significant amount of young people. And that's why screening is so important. It provides the only opportunity to identify the vast majority of people at risk."


Quotes from satisfied NationJob customers in the Howard County, MD Area Jobs area.
Lingual Information System, Elizabeth Rendon: "Hi Anne, Below is the information that I have for NationJob - I can't say enough great things about them.
We made a $1,000 investment. From NationJob, we have received a total of 195 resumes since May 2006. There are 38 resumes for qualified Language Instructors that have come from NationJob that we will be able to use for our various language training efforts. Additionally, we have hired three full-time technical and IT staff for two other efforts. We rely on the NationJob site more than on the other websites that we use for hiring personnel. Typically, we spend about $500-$800 per hire. A newspaper ad for one weekend in a major paper in the Baltimore/Washington DC area alone costs about $1,000.00. Because of NationJob, we have interviewed and hired solid, qualified candidates with the skills, experience, and education to fill our requirements.
NationJob had us up and running in about 1 hour; typically they can have businesses up in less than 24 hours. They were able to pull information from our web-site in response to our job postings and included them in their website with a link back to our website. The folks at NationJob are fabulous and easy to work with."


The Black Angels and The Raveonettes hit Toronto on Thursday, October 22. I haven't read many other reviews of this tour but all I can say is – WOW.
Soundtrack2 favourites The Black Angels managed to actually sound bigger and noisier than on their two albums. The crowd slowly got into their drone-y ruckus after a while, but most waited for the headliner to appear. Personally I'd have preferred to see a full set by these guys – next time I guess. It's great to see they really are the real deal.
The first things that struck me when The Raveonettes took the stage was that their wall of noisy pop sounded downright tinny compared to the previous band. But my skepticism drifted away with number after number of explosive, tightly-played tunes.
Sune, Sharin and co. played songs from all albums, including their debut – my personal favourite. Despite the fact that a lot of their tunes can be kind of same-y, I was excited to hear a lot off of In and Out of Control that seemed to mess with the formula.
The light show was completely insane (strobes!) and complemented the performances to a T. Add in a few solo tracks by Sune and Sharin and you've got a solid show.
If this bill is in your town, I strongly recommend you go. Apologies for the crappy quality of the above photos.
Catching up on some new releases and classic material.
Shaking things up a bit by starting with some dreamy space pop out of Chicago. Love the title.
Fantastically intense and creative tune recently reviewed here by Pitchfork.
A drifting, dreamy number off the seminal New Zealand band's latest album.
Bombastic, swirling shoegaze out of Austin.
Nice bit of 80s revival, complete with bright, catchy chorus. Nice review by Exclaim.
Dark/light pop number off their new album of same name. Hoping to catch them in Toronto Oct. 22 with The Black Angels.
If you like any of the dark, drony and reverbed bands mentioned above, this one's a gem.
This band is doing interesting stuff – noisy kind of indie rock. Off last month's Nowhere Forever – another cut can be found on this audiocast.
How did I not know about this Vancouver 90s band until recently? Power pop crossed with a bit of Sonic Youth. Their Glazed album is getting heavy rotation here.
Ringing, exhilerating track by 90s English band highlighted here.
Textbook shoegaze. I challenge you not to air drum when listening to this.
German band takes us into dreamier territory via this gorgeous track. Highly recommended.
Yes, yes, yes! There's nothing better than when a favourite band delivers the goods on a killer new track. Fans of Olivia Tremor Control will not be disappointed by this noisy psych pop track off their new album Signal Morning.
This building rocker couldn't sound more midwestern – but it's out of Brighton, UK! Props to BOAWS.
Must admit I wasn't familiar with his earlier band The War on Drugs, but I'm really liking what I'm hearing on his new Matador album Childish Prodigy, released this week.

The International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances is commemorated annually on August 30, to draw attention to imprisoned or abducted individuals whose fate and whereabouts are unknown.
Today we join the world in remembering victims of enforced disappearances and their families, and in particular we think of those who have disappeared in Zimbabwe and their families who live with the daily anguish of not knowing what happened to their loved ones.
A forced disappearance violates a litany of fundamental human rights and freedoms enshrined in our Constitution. These include the right to personal liberty found in s.49, rights of arrested and detained persons (s.50), right to human dignity (s.51), right to personal security (s.52) and freedom from torture (s.53) among others.
We therefore urge the Zimbabwean government to accede to the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. This Convention places an obligation on states to investigate cases of enforced disappearances and prosecute perpetrators.


During the last 15 years, there've been a lot of innovations in the Email Marketing Industry.
The first email marketing services were created to send simple newsletters and manage subscribers effectively. Mailchimp, with 7 million users is the market leader.
As email marketing evolved, these companies included new functionalities like autoresponders which allowed customers to send a series of emails in a sequence, as soon as an event happened; for example someone signed up.
Most small businesses who do email marketing use basic services.
Although marketing automation is not new, it has gained much popularity lately.
Marketing automation tracks each subscribers behavior to deliver him the most appropriate messages that will convert him into a customer.
The idea behind marketing automation is that each subscriber is interested in different products and services, and is at a different moment of the buying cycle. Following this, it makes sense to send them different messages. Marketing Automation software learns from what a subscriber does (by what he clicks on) to send them much more targeted messages that increase conversions.
InfusionSoft is one of the main players.
Compared to email marketing services, marketing automation has a very small market share. Main reasons is that it is highly priced for small business and it's complicated and difficult to use. If a company wants to use marketing automation, they have to be quite knowledgeable about email marketing and spend some time at it.
Until now, most innovation in the email marketing industry were around the software.
The latest innovation I've seen focuses on the creation of the content.
NewsletterBreeze, founded in 2014 focuses on content generation. It integrates with companies like Mailchimp to send the newsletters.
The way it works is the following. After it's configured for a specific industry, NewsletterBreeze starts bringing the most relevant content related to it. It brings the content from the web and from Twitter. Then it specifies how many times each article has been shared on social media. This information gives users good information on what's the best content and lets them create quickly a newsletter.
Even though during the last 15 years there have been a lot of innovations in email marketing, many more are expected in the coming years. Email Marketing is the most effective way to convert prospects into customers and the majority of small business are still not using it.

Q: Search and Replace a content in a file in JAVA I have to edit the contents of a file and write the edited conted to another file.Here is the code iam using .
  import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class TestRef {
    ArrayList<String> lines = new ArrayList<String>();
    String line= null;
    public void printThis(){
        try{
    FileReader fr = new FileReader("C:\\Users\\questions.txt");
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
    FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("C:\\Users\\questions_out.txt");
    BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fw);
    while((line=br.readLine()) != null) {
     if(line.contains("Javascript"))
      line.replace("Javascript"," JAVA");
        lines.add(line);
        out.write(line);
        }

        }
    catch(Exception e){}
    }

    public static void main(String [] args){
            TestRef tr = new TestRef();
            tr.printThis();
        }
}

So this is like reading one line at a time and printing it back to the file. But when I execute this code the output file is blank.? Can you please provide me with a sample code, how to read from a file, make change in the content and write the whole file to a new file ?

A: Well, a few problems:

*

*You're never closing either your input or your output. Closing will also flush - it's possible that something's just not being flushed. You should close stream-based resources in a finally block, so that they end up being closed even in the face of an exception. (Given that you should be closing, I wouldn't bother explicitly flushing as well. Just make sure you close the top-level abstraction - i.e. out (and br).

*You're catching Exception and then swallowing it. It could well be that an exception is being thrown, but you're not able to tell because you've swallowed it. You should at least be logging it, and probably stopping at that point. (I'd also suggest catching IOException instead of Exception.)

*You're using FileWriter and FileReader which doesn't allow you to specify the input/output encoding - not the issue here, but personally I like to take more control over the encodings I use. I'd suggest using FileInputStream and FileOutputStream wrapped in InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter.

*You're calling String.replace() and ignoring the result. Strings are immutable - calling replace won't change the existing string. You want:
line = line.replace("Javascript"," JAVA");

*You're never using your lines variable, and your line variable would be better as a local variable. It's only relevant within the method itself, so only declare it in the method.

*Your code would be easier to follow if it were more appropriately indented. If you're using an IDE, it should be able to do this for you - it makes a huge difference in readability.

The first one is the most likely cause of your current problem, but the rest should help when you're past that. (The point about "replace" will probably be your next issue...)

A: You are missing out.flush().
BufferedWriters don't write anything until either you flush them, or their buffer fills up.

A: Close the print writer, outside the loop.
out.flush();
out.close();

Moreover you are writing strings to new lines, if you just want to replace javascript with Java, then you might also wanna write '\n', next line character to new file where old file contains new line.

How long should I wait to go running after I eat?
And what would be a good snack to eat before running?
Thanks for your question about eating before running?
I think this one is pretty personal.
When running at night, I like to leave about a two hour gap between eating my dinner and running.
This is usually enough time for food to settle.
And this general rule of about two hours applies to most people.

At Berkeley (2013)
At Berkeley / Frederick Wiseman / 2013 /
Active Ingredients: Thematic editing; Political tone without didacticism
Side Effects: Improvisational feel to photography; Inconsistency in later scenes
"What is it about Berkeley," a professor asks her classroom in Frederick Wiseman's new documentary. Over the course of the film, we see several possible answers. It's an historical myth, an ideal and a hotbed for radical politics. It's a collection of classrooms, boardrooms and lawns; a concert hall, a library and a stairwell. It's a location meant for learning and studying. The problem only arises when these locations are filled with people.
Like all of Wiseman's films, At Berkeley painstakingly details how public institutions, by definition, pit the communal against the personal. The University of California at Berkeley, like any public institution, is equally composed of its organizational mission and the people it serves, and while these two elements need each other to exist, they necessarily find themselves at odds. Filmed over two particularly tumultuous years around campus, which find the university struggling to cut costs while continuing to offer high-quality education, At Berkeley exposes the wonderful contradictions that make any institution succeed—and fail—to function.
Since 1969's Titicut Follies, Wiseman has used an observational approach to dramatize the conflict between public institutions and the human beings who populate them. The filmmaker's 38th such film is no different, documenting extended sessions in classrooms and boardrooms as administrators and students alike go about their daily lives at Berkeley. The film clocks in at just over 4 hours and offers no narration or talking heads, but it's never dull. Wiseman's restrained and elegant style allows him to present his material simply while still mining it for incredible richness and nuance.
Between seminars on economics, meetings on organizational efficiency and scenes of student protest, Wiseman offers beautifully poetic interstitial montages of the campus going about its business. They show the breadth and humility of all the small events that make up like at Berkeley, but they also demonstrate Wiseman's keen eye for the rhythms of people and their movements. He is uniquely attuned to the way individuals assemble and interact, for it is in these moments that personal motives butt heads with public interests.
Again and again in At Berkeley, this complicated relationship between the individual and the collective is emphasized, whether in lectures on genetics and entomology or in meetings about effective leadership and resource management. These juxtapositions speak to the power of Wiseman's artistry, not just as an image-maker but as an editor. As the film's many isolated fragments begin to pile up over its extended running time, patterns and themes emerge organically. Each scene builds from the last, combining so effortlessly as to belie the rigor and complexity of the film's structure.
A crowd of screaming fans at a football game hold up small tiles, which combine to create the Cal logo; a student organizer reminds demonstrators that during a protest "you aren't you, you are us." The goal of Wiseman's career-long project is to juxtapose images such as these. Using montage to show us a familiar place under a new organizing logic, Wiseman also shows us how individuals become collectives. In his films, single images become greater than the sum of their parts in much the same way people do: with great effort and tremendous resolve.
[At Berkeley opens tomorrow at the MFA in Boston and continues throughout December.]

In 1887 Arthur William Cooke set up a music shop in Norwich and the Cookes family has been running a family music business ever since.
The name of Cookes has been part of the Norfolk music scene since the 19th century, when they specialised in selling pianos. Since then, the family has continued supplying musical instruments to people to the present day – an amazing 130 years.
The family gave him a small amount of money to start up a new business and in 1965 he opened Cookes Band Instruments from a rented shop in St Margaret's Street. At the start, business was slow and Brian travelled around in the evenings to gigs and practice sessions taking equipment along for the bands to try. This proved successful and within 3 years he had made enough money to buy the premises they are currently in on St Benedicts Street.
The shop is in what was the old Prince of Wales public house. Today the business is run by Brian's son Matthew Morrison – the 5th generation of the Cookes family to run a Cooke's music shop in Norwich.
Matthew, Managing Director of Cookes Band Instruments, commented "I've always been interested in music. It's been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started in the shop when I was 14, having a Saturday job and working after school, and now I'm running the business.
We went on to explain "We are real people in a real shop who really care about providing our customers with the best products and service. The most satisfying thing is that we have customers who have regularly been coming into the shop for 30-40 years.
Matthew and the team supply guitars, live sound and PA systems, recording products, specialist lighting and effects and have the largest drum showroom in the region. The team sources all the equipment, prepares it for sale, sells it and services it and the business has many, many customers coming back year after year.
As with many family businesses, the problem of succession has arisen. Matthew is hoping his daughter will be interested in taking over from him when he finally has had enough. However, he doesn't think he'll be retiring anytime soon.
As well as the shop at 34 St Benedicts Street in Norwich the company has kept up to date with technology and has an online music store so people can shop on the go while still benefitting from the same, trusted service from the team at Cookes.
If you need expert advice on any of the products we sell, you can call the team on 01603 623563 or pop into the shop.


Public Reputation: Disdainful of those planet bound but if you can get beyond that point Astra appears to be quite sociable for a Navigator. Young but with a great deal of potential… and a great weight of expectation from her House.
Ship-board Reputation: Cold, unflappable and not anywhere near as crazy as she should be. She does seem to have a great deal of contempt for Chaos though and many feel the need to tread carefully around her if she just woke up.
Generations ago, when the Imperium took to the Void, Navigators have led the way between the stars. Among the Great Navigator Houses there are those that have forsaken any ties to sector or any kind of terrestrial holding, becoming instead true wanderers with vast fleets of ships to hold their families. The Xan'Tai are considered to be one of the Great Nomadic Houses but Astra's specific line in the family have a remarkable tendency to produce children particular potent or talented with the gene. Indeed, Astra is the youngest but not only Navigator within the ranks of her siblings.
There can be no doubt that Serafina, as she was known until adolescence, stood out from the moment she was born onto the Ex Caelum. Most of her features can be written off as being one of the Void-born but, quite aside from her third eye gifted from carrying the Navigator gene, her other eyes are pools of pure darkness. Understandably this marked her out even alongside those of her peers equally blessed to follow the family tradition and thus many would consider her childhood a lonely. Left to herself but fully aware of the noble heritage she is expected to embody, the child simply became more and more engrossed with the Void. Even her family were surprised by quite how driven she is and secretly quite a few are wary of this potential protege.
It may have been rivalry, or distrust, or even the talent she appears to possess but Astra joined the ranks of the Navis Nobilite while barely old enough to be released to it. While taking on her first position as a junior Navigator all of that skill was very swiftly put to the test when a problem with the Geller Field created a Warp Incursion. During the repairs Astra was impressed by the talent of one of the passenger's technical skills.
With the death of her former Lord Captain during the Warp Incursion, Astra and the former ship's pilot Crimson found themselves in Port Wander seeking new employment. Much to her surprise she bumped into Lupus Havelock who recognised her despite the years passed from their childhoods and through him found her way onto the Cleansing Light.

Yet another first for me this year, the very pregnant bride! Suzy and Chris had a fairly small and informal day planned, and it began with their ceremony in the Octagon Room at Orleans House Gallery in Richmond. The rather gloomy autumn day put paid to drinks outside, but at least the Octagon Room has a lovely interior!
The reception then continued a bit further down river at The Depot Riverside Restaurant in Barnes with the wedding breakfast, a couple of very short speeches and dancing into the night.
