Put spring in your step Feel good fashion in footwear

By Jill Moon jill.moon@hearst.com From metallics to texture to oxidized- and steampunk-like embellishments and accents, comfort shoes have stepped up their style.

At the fashion footwear forefront, comfy sandals and spring styles lead the trends, not only fitting like a glove but looking and feeling good for the long haul.

The same can be said for today’s outdoor water shoes/sandals and for athletic shoes, such as the HOKA brand, carried by Wood River’s Cleary’s Shoes & Boots, independently owned by Andrew Hagopian. Cleary’s, as well as Glen Carbon’s Allison’s Comfort Shoes & Boots, independently owned by Josh Allison, each carry a huge selection of New Balance styles.

“Last year we had a record year in tennis shoes sales and felt we had room to grow,” Cleary’s Hagopian explained to The Edge.

“HOKA best matched our store and its comfort-driven focus.”

HOKA’s cushioned midsole is lighter, as well as more responsive and durable, than other brands’ average running shoe. HOKA construction protects without compromising performance. This has allowed HOKA to add faster, lighter shoes to its range.

“It’s light as a feather,” Hagopian said with a HOKA in hand. “But that doesn’t jeopardize support and it has a ‘rocker sole.’”

The meta-rocker, or “wheels for your feet” sole, is all about geometry. It combines a low heal-toe drop, HOKA’s unique-shaped midsoles and signature HOKA cushioning to complement a runner’s normal gate cycle and drive a runner forward. HOKA also features an “active foot frame,” which beds the heel and foot deeply into the midsole, as opposed to sitting on top. The active foot frame functions like a bucket seat in a race car by cradling and supporting the foot.

“I talk to other retailers out there and HOKA is the biggest brand out there, grow-

Scientists begin exploring ocean depths in Seychelles

By Jerry Harmer and David Keyton Associated Press ALPHONSE ATOLL, Seychelles (AP) — An unprecedented mission to explore the Indian Ocean and document changes taking place beneath the waves began its research last week in Seychelles waters.

The British-led Nekton Mission arrived off the tiny atoll of Alphonse in the early morning hours, after looming bad weather forced a change of plan and of route.

The ambitious expedition will delve into one of the last major unexplored frontiers on the planet, a vast body of water that’s already feeling the effects of global warming. Understanding the Indian Ocean’s ecosystem is important not just for the species that live in it, but also for an estimated 2.5 billion people at home in the region — from East Africa to the Arabian peninsula, the Indian sub-continent and Southeast Asia.

Though the mission will use hi-tech submersibles in its work, research began on Thursday with more modest equipment: a device to measure the water’s chemistry and a Neuston net used to retrieve zooplankton.

“When you actually finally begin doing the science, it’s a bit of a relief and a lot of fun,” said Louise Allcock, a professor of zoology at the University of Ireland, in Galway.

Alphonse is a tiny atoll, the tip of a submerged mountain, 232 nautical miles southwest of Seychelles’ capital Victoria. Within two miles of its shores, the ocean is as deep as 5,000 meters (three miles).

Little is known about the biodiversity of Alphonse Atoll, as it remains unexplored beyond scuba depth.

Mission member Stephanie Marie is a marine researcher from the Seychelles. She recently spent a week on Alphonse working on a study of a fish species called the Giant Trevally, or GT. She says she is excited to find out what’s down there.

“When you have amazing weather, you have a lot of things to see, like the sharks, the GT, the corals also, so it’s like a different place, a different scenery every time,” she said.

Marie’s role is to collect zooplankton to conduct taxonomy identification.

“I’m really excited. It’s going to be eye opening, because I’ve never seen so deep,” she said. “It’s really important. Fish feed on zooplankton, so we need to see its quality, because if the ecosystems changes it may have an impact on the fish we feed on.”

The mission expects to discover new species, as well as document evidence of climate change and of human-driven pollution.

The data will be used to help the Seychelles consolidate and expand its policy of protecting almost a third of its national waters by

AP Photo/Steve Barker Researchers onboard the science vessel Ocean Zephyr retrieve zooplankton from a Neuston net after following the first science tests in the tiny atoll of Alphonse, Seychelles last week.

The Ocean Zephyr is the mothership of the British-based Nekton Mission which will explore the Indian Ocean, during which scientists hope to document changes taking place beneath the waves that could affect billions of people in the surrounding region over the coming decades.

AP Photo/David Keyton Extensive tests to practice the launch and recovery of submersibles take place on the Ocean Zephyr after the British-led Nekton Mission reached the tiny atoll of Alphonse in Seychelles waters last week. The ambitious mission delves into one of the last major unexplored frontiers on the planet, a vast body already feeling the effects of global warming. the year 2020. The sea area to be protected is larger than Germany.

The initiative is a key component of Seychelles “blue economy,” which attempts to balance development needs with those of the ocean environment.

The Associated Press is the only news agency working with British scientists from the Nekton research team on its deep-sea mission that aims to unlock the secrets of the

Indian Ocean. AP video coverage will include exploring the depths of up to 300 meters (1,000 feet) off the coast of the Seychelles in two-person submarines which will search for underwater mountain ranges and previously undiscovered marine life, a behind-thescenes look at life on board, interviews with researchers and aerial footage of the mission.

The seven-week Seychelles expedition is expected to run until April 19.

Music therapy ministers to patient needs in 'winter of life'

By MICHELE VOWELL Kentucky New Era

The “Que Chola Exhibition” opened last week with pieces by artists from New Mexico, Arizona, California, Texas, and Colorado.

Exhibit on Latina ‘cholas’ set to open in New Mexico

By Russell Contreras Associated Press ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (AP) — A national Hispanic center in New Mexico is hosting a unique art exhibit on the chola — the working class, Mexican-American urban female often associated with gangs.

The National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque opened the “Que Chola Exhibition” last week with pieces by artists from New Mexico, Arizona, California, Texas and Colorado.

The displays feature the evolution of the chola from her early days as a “pachuca” from the World War II-era zoot suit period to the contemporary figure trying to survive in poor neighborhoods.

Cholas, or homegirls, often refers to a particular Latina subculture in the U.S. characterized by a tough demeanor and distinctive style.

Curator Jadira Gurule says the chola for represents strength and perseverance for many Latinas.

The exhibit runs until Aug. 4.

PRINCETON, Ky. (AP) — "At 92 years old, I finally learned to do as I'm told, The sun comes up, the sun goes down, The earth keeps goin' 'round and 'round.

I'm content where I am.

And all I can come up with is the guys that I prayed with and I lead them to the Lord. And, I suppose that's what it's all about."

To help Donald face the winter of his life, Kenna Hudgins, board certified music therapist, brings her keyboard, drums, guitar and even a tambourine, weekly to share an hour of tunes with the elderly patient at his home. Hudgins and Donald sing familiar songs and play the instruments together in an effort to make his transition easier.

"The main goal I initially assessed (for Donald) was for anticipatory grief -- to work through the acceptance of the fact that we are terminal and now on hospice (care)," she said. "He's very aware, so day after day just knowing that it's coming and there will be changes and decline. Life is hard.

Music therapy offers a way to process that musically."

"Hospice is very grounding," Hudgins said. "Every day that you go into somebody's house and they're dealing with their struggles, it brings you back to true purposes -- day-to-day tasks and stresses don't matter as much because life is short. Personally, it's just a very rewarding field."

Communicating with hospice social workers, Hudgins identifies patients who may benefit from music therapy.

She asks family members for 10 minutes of their time to visit their loved one and share a song or two with them to assess his or her responses.

"I don't usually talk much about it, I just let them experience it," she said, smiling. "I've never been told not to come back and it's never just 10 minutes."

Hudgins said everyone has memories associated with certain music.

"A therapist's job is to find that music that is significant to that person," she said.

Children, parents find renewal at Sensory City

By Jill Moon jill.moon@hearst.com Sensory City, where parents can experience renewal through different programs as their children play in a safe, calming, therapeutic environment, opens its doors next month in celebration of National Autism Awareness Month.

Sensory City is a designed room located within the children’s ministry at Newsong Fellowship, a faith community at 201 St. Louis St., Downtown Edwardsville. Sensory City is designed with state-of-the-art equipment that gives each child the multi-sensory feedback that provides calming and regulation to each child’s system. Sensory City will host an open house to begin around 12:45 Sunday, March 31, and will open its doors to the public Sunday, April 7. Its hours will be from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Sundays. Eventually, Sensory City plans to offer a Saturday morning option to families.

Newsong, in conjunction with Sensory City, also will hold a special service at 11 a.m. the day of the open house. The open house is open to the public regardless if visitors attend the special service or are members of the church.

Sensory City also is open to the public and the service is free, but registration is required.

Registration forms and more information can be accessed at newsong-fellowship.com or by emailing sensorycity@newsong-fellowship. com.

This ministry is free to the community and parents are not required to attend service or stay with their children. Sensory City hopes to be a positive-based resource for the community, offering children a space to experience regulation, encouraging parents to experience rest and renewal, and overall strengthening the experience of community together.

Sensory City hosts children age 4 through 12 to play alongside educated, compassionate and dedicated volunteers, in partnership with a St. Louis area nonprofit, The Synaspory.

The Synaspory provides rest, regulation and renewal for special needs families through innovative products for the home, church and community, Newsong associate pastor Lindsey Apple explained. Through this partnership, the community has contributed more than $10,000 toward the project, with more than 50 volunteer hours given in the last four months.

If a child exceeds Sensory City’s age range, parents or guardians can contact Sensory City to talk about exceptions.

Apple, along with lead pastor Dave Romoser, administrative pastor Tim Giltner and elder Patti Hoffman, met with The Synaspory founder Terrie Desolage, with whom they consulted to develop Sensory City.

“She talked about her heart for the special

Terrie recognized that sometimes going to church can be difficult, recognizing the plight of children unable to integrate into the kids’ ministry. She started going into churches to equip them with consultation and resources, and initiating this project by securing a $4,000 grant.”

In the last three to four months, Apple appointed Ashley Criley as Sensory City’s director. Criley serves in Newsong’s children’s ministry and will begin studying special education next fall at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. The 2016 Edwardsville High

School graduate recently completed general education requirements at Belleville’s Southwestern Illinois College. She also was president of EHS’ Key Club, geared to students at school with special needs. Criley currently works as a behavior therapist at Hope Autism Clinic in Edwardsville.

Apple received her undergraduate degree in psychology and sociology from McKendree University and her master’s in social work from St. Louis University. She works full-time as Newsong’s associate pastor, working in social work and community organizing. She leads the children’s ministry and Love Our City as a community organizer in outreach and collaboration with other nonprofits to

Sensory City is a state-of-the-art play space for children age 4 through 12, where parents also can experience renewal through different programs as their children play in a safe, calming, therapeutic environment alongside many educated, compassionate and dedicated volunteers.

Sensory City volunteers include those with occupational, physical therapy and special education backgrounds. Criley will be on-site each session for at least the first full month, after which volunteers may rotate with Criley.

Sensory City also is accepting volunteer applications at this time.

“Parents or guardians can absorb church without distraction or run errands; they are not required to attend Newsong,” Apple noted. “Children aren’t required to have a diagnosis, but who are just overwhelmed by their surroundings and need a room to calm down.

“Also, Sensory City allows children who need help adjusting to their classroom to come and regulate and then return to their classroom when ready.”

The SIGN of a GREAT MORTGAGE.

Double feature delight:

‘Apollo 11,’ ‘Train Your Dragon’ entertain in different ways

By Robert D. Grubaugh Contributing columnist I was fully committed to going to the movies a few weekends ago.

I have lots of practice doing that. When I catch a movie on Saturday night or a Sunday, it gives me a little cushion of time before my writing deadline.

But, procrastination is a rabid monster and he often gets in my way. I was feeling a little under the weather that Saturday so I decided that my night would be better suited for Netflix. Sunday had bad weather and too cold to do much.

But a Monday turned out to be the day; I couldn’t postpone it anymore. And then a great restaurant opportunity fell in my lap for a late breakfast. Before I knew it, I was 20 minutes late for my show and still sitting in the parking lot of the theater.

So, I called an audible, which is a seller and producer of spoken audio entertainment, information and educational programming on the internet. CNN Film’s fantastic documentary, “Apollo 11,” would wait a few hours and I’d sneak in a matinee of “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World” beforehand. With a day-off double feature, everything works out in the end!

I liked the “How to Train Your Dragon” films. Despite an erratic start to the franchise in 2010, it maintained excellent creative direction for two sequels, the newest of which opened at No. 1 at that week’s box office.

“The Hidden World” is designed to be the final movie in a trilogy, a rare decision for a profitable series from a struggling Paramount Studios. Chief Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) returns as the genius-inventor-thrust-into-the-stoicleader role. With his Night Fury species dragon, Toothless, by his side, Hiccup has led his people toward a successful reign of dragon-riding legend.

This third installment takes its opportunity to wow you with smooth, visceral coloration and near-background sight gags, but it suffers from a rather simple plot. Hiccup must face down Grimmel (F. Murray Abraham), a dragon hunter out to assassinate Toothless before he finds a mate and brings his species back to dominance.

Of course, that mate lives in The Hidden World, a dragon land hidden at the edge of the world, and it looks amazing on the big screen when they finally get there. If you enjoy these characters, the movie is a great option for the kids.

“How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World” runs 104 minutes and is rated PG for

Buzz Aldrin in a scene from the film “Apollo 11.” adventure action and some mild rude humor.

I give this film two and a half stars out of four.

My ultimate goal was reliving an important week from 1969. Or, living vicariously, since I’m an ’80s baby.

With a one-week IMAX engagement before “Captain Marvel” opened that Friday, “Apollo 11” came roaring into theaters showing the full duration mission completely through firsthand video images taken by NASA, news agencies, citizens at Cape Canaveral for launch and the astronauts (Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins) themselves.

It was a real treat for all of us “space race” junkies, who just can’t ever get enough of the right stuff.

“Apollo 11” tracks the crew from the early morning hours of launch day, through liftoff, lunar orbit insertion, the landing of the Eagle, rendezvous with Columbia (which was on terrific display at the Saint Louis Science Center this past summer), re-entry to splashdown and the weeks of quarantine that followed a safe return flight to Earth.

There’s barely enough ticker tape in the world for the parade that greeted these heroes back here at home, but something kept calling out to me from this movie that gave me an even greater appreciation for one of the most famous events in human history. That was to see the graciousness displayed by the trio of explorers, particularly the mission’s commander, Armstrong. He’s documented in about a dozen interviews lauding praise on everyone from U.S. presidents Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon, to the engineers and operations guys, all the way down to the shuttle van drivers on the NASA campus. Humility is a wonderful trait to weigh when you put someone up for emulation and maybe David M. Benett/Dave Benett/WireImage they had it in spades.

“Apollo 11” runs 93 minutes and Kit Harrington poses at a photocall for 'How To Train Your is rated G, making it suitable for all audiences. I give this film three and a Dragon: The Hidden World' at Collinsí Music Hall on Jan. 22 in London, England. half stars out of four.

Film fest looks to bridge divide

By Angela Bauer Hearst Illinois

A French film festival at Illinois College in Jacksonville is intended both to help bridge the cultural divide between France and the United States and to show that the gap really isn’t so big after all.

“We’re all connected in these interesting, strange ways,” said Devin Bryson, an associate professor of modern languages in French at IC and the organizer of the college’s Tournées Film Festival.

Funding for the festival comes from a competitive grant from the French-American Cultural Exchange Foundation, which provides grants that allow American colleges and universities to bring lesser-known films — French films — to communities that otherwise may never have the opportunity to see them, Bryson said.

As part of the festival process, the foundation offers a list of around 40 film titles.

Some are classics. Some are contemporary.

From that list, Bryson talks to his students and others who have participated in the film festival in past years and narrows his choices down to six titles, including at least one classic title, a requirement of the grant.

“It’s always a really hard selection process,” he said. “That’s why I always try not to make it just me (choosing). I don’t want that responsibility.”

Among this year’s films: • “Ismael’s Ghosts,” about a filmmaker whose life is sent into a tailspin by a former lover ’s return just as he’s about to start Rick Diamond/Getty Images for Outback Concerts shooting a new film.

• “Little by Little,” a subversive film Comedian Neil Hamburger performs during the Nashville Comedy Festival presented by disguised as a farce in which immigrants from Niger travel to Paris and live a lavish lifestyle Outback Concerts on April 20, 2018, at The Exit/In in Nashville, Tennessee. while gaping at the paradoxes of Western society.

GET INTO THE CLEAN EATING SWING THIS SPRING Cold-pressed juice, smoothie restaurant lands in new location The Edge EDWARDSVILLE — Source Juicery has a new home.

Edwardsville’s growing cold-pressed juice and smoothie restaurant moved into a newly remodeled building at 228 N. Main St. (formerly occupied by Laurie’s Place), just four doors down from the previous location. The new space gives Source a larger kitchen and additional parking options for customers.

Now entering its fourth year in business, Source made a name for itself as a destination for cold-pressed juice, homemade smoothies and smoothie bowls, and healthy food options packaged to-go.

Owners Michelle Motley and Chrissy Stevens said interest in clean eating has grown since they first opened their doors, with people now regularly coming from surrounding communities and St. Louis. Source’s retail space has increased by 700 square feet, but Motley said the more important addition is an expanded kitchen that allows the Source team to operate more efficiently.

“We considered opening a drive-thru but wanted to stay on Main Street,” Motley noted. “With the parking lot right next to us, customers can now place orders online in advance for pick-up.”

The expanded space also is allowing Source to introduce new menu items, including gluten-free waffles and gluten-free avocado toast.

“We have such a fun mix of customers,” said Stevens, also Source’s chef. “We love introducing new items and hearing what they think.”

Source uses all fresh fruits and vegetables in its juices, smoothies and food, which includes a mix of breakfast and lunch items. Motley said not being a chain restaurant helps her and Stevens stay flexible and respond to community interests.

“When we added smoothie bowls to the menu in 2017, customers let us know how much they love them, so we’re constantly offering new recipes,” Stevens said.

Their latest smoothie bowl invention is the Mocha Java Smoothie Bowl, made with banana, espresso hazelnut granola, coconut, almond butter, vanilla, cacao and Goshen coffee.

Celery juice recently became popular via Instagram and other social media, with health “influencers” and celebrities sharing photos of the juice, citing its ability to reduce inflammation. Source introduced its own brand of cold-pressed celery juice last December, and the juice has been in high demand since.

“Our mission is to make healthy eating convenient and delicious, and we are so excited to share this new space and experience with our customers and the community,” Motley said.

Source Juicery is open from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m Wednesdays; 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays; and, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays. Visit sourcejuicery. com for more information.

More Than a Pizza Crust & Potato Substitute: New Uses for Cauliflower You Haven’t Heard Of The Edge You already know that cauliflower makes a great pizza crust or mashed potato alternative.

But “Cali’flour Kitchen: 125 Cauliflower-Based Recipes for the Carbs You Crave” author Amy Lacey notes that’s just the beginning of uses for this versatile veggie, in her new cookbook.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve likely heard about the cauliflower craze. This superfood is enjoying a much-deserved moment in the spotlight as more people discover its various uses.

You may even be a devotee yourself, enjoying cauliflower-based foods like pizza crust or cauliflower mashed “fauxtatoes.” But believe it or not, cauliflower’s versatility doesn’t stop there!

“Cauliflower substitutes are here to stay,” Lacey said. “People who can’t tolerate certain foods love being able to recreate their favorite dishes, like pizza or mashed potatoes, using a vegetable that’s actually good for them. But cauliflower’s uses don’t stop there. There are countless creative ways to transform it into foods you can enjoy without any guilt.”

Lacey is the founder of Cali’flour Foods, a national brand famous for its grain-free cauliflower-based pizza crusts, crisps, flatbreads, pasta and more. Upon being diagnosed with lupus and other autoimmune conditions, Lacey used dietary changes to combat her pain, inflammation and other symptoms.

Upon giving up gluten and processed sugar, her health instantly improved. But Lacey wasn’t ready to forgo her favorite foods.

Instead, she set out to recreate them using cauliflower — a versatile superfood with abundant health benefits — and began selling her crusts online and in stores, to national acclaim. Now, for the first time, she is sharing her award-winning recipes with the world.

“Cali’flour Kitchen” is designed for people across the dietary spectrum, providing perfect, guilt-free recipes for every carbheavy craving, whether you’re eating vegan, dairy-free, keto, paleo or a plant-based diet. For those suffering from health issues, such as diabetes and autoimmune diseases, this cookbook reintroduces those favorites that have long been forsaken, reinventing them to include a full serving of vegetables. With more than 125 quick and easy recipes and photos, plus detailed how-tos on creating cauliflower crusts, rice, crisps, wraps and zoodles, “Cali’flour Kitchen” is all about indulging without compromising health.

But, back to cauliflower and its many uses! Here are just a few of the less-mainstream (but no less delicious) foods that can be made with this surprisingly versatile and tasty veggie.

• Flavorful flatbreads for panini-style sandwiches • Keto- and paleo-friendly sandwich bread • Breakfast foods, including toasts, pancakes and muffins • A variety of sauces, dips and spreads • Creamy and savory soups • Riced specialty dishes, such as stir-fries, poke bowls and even sushi • Comforting favorites, such as casseroles, lasagnas

and shepherd’s pie • Desserts, including pie, tartlets and cookies “Cauliflower makes it possible for you to enjoy healthier versions of the foods you love,” Lacey explained. “But don’t forget that it is great for so much more than just pizza and ‘fauxtato’ side dishes.

Take full advantage of this nutritious vegetable by enjoying its many uses today.”

Now that you’re good and hungry, keep reading for these quick, easy and delicious recipes from “Cali’flour Kitchen” (Abrams, January 2019, ISBN: 978-1-4197-3596-7, $19.99).

Cauliflower Leaf Pesto Makes about 1 cup (240 ML) • Gluten-free | Grain-free | Keto-friendly | Vegetarian Heroic hours of grinding, baking and squeezing of cauliflower florets went into testing the recipes in this book. In order to make use of the mountains of leaves left behind, one of Lacey’s testers, Katie Eyles, came up with this take on pesto. Cauliflower leaves add bright, slightly bitter vegetal notes, transforming pesto into a new classic companion to Cali’flour Foods’ crusts. Note that only a small amount of the leaves is needed for flavor, and you’ll be using just the green parts of the leaves, not the white crispy parts. If you don’t have cauliflower leaves handy, swap in more basil or another herb.

3 cloves garlic, peeled 1/4 cup (35 g) pine nuts 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste 1/4 cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup (10 g) cauliflower leaves (just the green parts) 1 1/2 cups (60 g) packed fresh basil leaves and tender stems 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves and tender stems 6 to 8 tablespoons (90 to 120 ml) extra-virgin olive oil In a food processor with the motor running, drop the garlic through the hole in the top to mince. Add the pine nuts, salt, and pepper, and process until coarsely ground. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, cheese, cauliflower leaves, basil and parsley, and process to mince the greens. With the motor still running, drizzle in the oil through the hole in the top to incorporate. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water. Transfer to a container, cover and store in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to three months.

Chive and Cheddar Biscuits Makes 10 muffins • Gluten-free | Grain-free | Keto-friendly | Vegetarian Biscuits were a special treat for Lacey’s grandma Netta when she was growing up during the Depression.

When she could, she would make biscuits for any occasion: breakfast biscuits and gravy with saved bacon grease in a can, biscuits for lunch with some bologna and, yes, Miracle Whip, and biscuits with homemade butter with dinner. She never made a biscuit with cauliflower, but I think she would have loved these!

2 cups (260 g) cauliflower rice (recipe in “Cali’flour Kitchen”) 3 scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives 4 teaspoons minced garlic 1 cup (115 g) shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup (25 g) grated parmesan cheese 1 cup (115 g) almond flour 1/4 cup (35 g) tapioca flour 1 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup (120 ml) canned unsweetened coconut milk 3 large eggs Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 10 holes of a muffin pan with parchment paper cups.

In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, scallions, chives, garlic, 3/4 cup (85 g) of the cheddar and the parmesan. Mix to incorporate.

In a small bowl, whisk the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Add the almond flour mixture to the cauliflower rice mixture and mix thoroughly. Pour the coconut milk into a liquid measuring cup. Add the eggs and whisk to combine. Add the coconut milk mixture to the cauliflower mixture and stir, scraping the bottom, until the mixture is homogeneous.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them just about to the top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup (30 g) cheddar cheese. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are set, but not colored (do not let them brown). Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove from the pan and serve. The biscuits will keep, wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to five days in the refrigerator or up to one month in the freezer. Defrost at room temperature, then reheat in a toaster oven.

Shrimp and Cauliflower Leaf Grits Serves 4 • Gluten-free | Grain-free | Keto-friendly For eight years, Lacey and her husband, Jim, lived in New Orleans, where they ate their fair share of shrimp and grits. This cauliflower rice take on the classic is even easier to make and adds cauliflower leaves to the mix for their incredible flavor. If you don’t have cauliflower leaves on hand, you can substitute bok choy.

6 cups (780 g) cauliflower rice 2 cloves garlic, pressed through a garlic press 1/2 cup (120 ml) chicken stock 3/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper, plus more for topping 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 cup (55 g) shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup (25 g) grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping 1 pound (455 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup (70 g) thinly sliced cauliflower leaves 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley Heat the cauliflower rice and garlic in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring often, for 3 to 5 minutes to remove excess moisture from the cauliflower. Add the stock, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper, bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes, or until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the cauliflower rice is slightly softened but still al dente. Stir in the cream and butter until the butter is melted. Stir in the cheddar and parmesan cheeses until melted. Remove from the heat.

Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp one by one in clockwise order around the edge of the pan without touching and cook without stirring until the shrimp start to turn pink, about 2 minutes.

Using tongs, turn the shrimp in the order you placed them in the pan and cook until the second side turns pink and the shrimp are just about cooked through, about another 2 minutes. Move the shrimp to one side of the pan, add the cauliflower leaves, and cook for about 30 seconds to start to wilt them, then stir the leaves into the shrimp until fully wilted and the shrimp is cooked through. Remove from the heat and add the lemon zest and juice.

Spoon the cauliflower rice into bowls and serve topped with the shrimp. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and the parsley and serve.

Can Zuckerberg make a privacy-friendly Facebook?

By Michael Liedtke AP Technology Writer SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — After building a social network that turned into a surveillance system, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he’s shifting his company’s focus to messaging services designed to serve as fortresses of privacy.

Instead of just being the network that connects everyone, Facebook wants to encourage small groups of people to carry on encrypted conversations that neither Facebook nor any other outsider can read. It also plans to let messages automatically disappear, a feature pioneered by its rival Snapchat that could limit the risks posed by a trail of social media posts that follow people throughout their lives.

It’s a major bet by Zuckerberg, who sees it as a way to push Facebook more firmly into a messaging market that’s growing faster than its main social networking business. It might also help Facebook ward off government regulators, although the Facebook CEO made clear that he expects the company’s messaging business to complement, not replace, its core businesses.

But there are plenty of obstacles. Facebook has weathered more than two years of turbulence for repeated privacy lapses, spreading disinformation, allowing Russian agents to conduct targeted propaganda campaigns and a rising tide of hate speech and abuse. Zuckerberg submitted to two days of grilling on Capitol Hill last April. All that increases the challenge of convincing users that Facebook really means it about privacy this time.

Encrypted conversations could alleviate some of those problems, but it could make others worse. Security is an “admirable goal,” said Forrester Research analyst Fatemeh Khatibloo. “I’m just not sure it addresses the bigger issues Facebook is facing right now.”

Facebook grew into a colossus by vacuuming up people’s information in every possible way and dissecting it to shoot targeted ads back at them.

Anything that jeopardizes that machine could pose a major threat to the company’s share price, which would also affect its ability to attract and retain talented engineers and other employees.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Zuckerberg predicted Facebook’s emphasis on privacy will do more to help the company’s business than hurt it.

The Facebook CEO has been telegraphing some of these changes to investors for the past six months, but his blog post last week is the first time he has explained the idea to the more than two billion people that use Facebook’s services and look at its ads. Those

In this April 11, 2018, file photo, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg pauses while testifying before a House Energy and Commerce hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington about the use of Facebook data to target American voters in the 2016 election and data privacy. Zuckerberg said Facebook will start to emphasize new privacy-shielding messaging services, a shift apparently intended to blunt both criticism of the company’s data handling and potential antitrust action. ads are expected to generate $67 billion in revenue this year, according to the research firm eMarketer.

If everything falls into place, Facebook will also display similar advertising on the privacy-protected messaging services. Those services are also likely to offer other moneymaking features, such as a digital wallet, as Facebook attempts to build something similar to Tencent’s popular WeChat service in Asia.

“If you think about your life, you probably spend more time communicating privately than publicly,” Zuckerberg said during the AP interview. “The overall opportunity here is a lot larger than what we have built in terms of Facebook and Instagram.”

That’s far from proven. While Facebook has already tried to show ads in the Messenger app, it’s seen only limited success. It hasn’t even tested the concept in WhatsApp since it acquired that service for $22 billion in 2014.

“There are some huge unknowns about how successful Facebook is going to be rolling advertising into a more private messaging environment,” said eMarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson.

Some critics are convinced that Facebook has become so powerful — even a threat to democracy as well as to people’s privacy — that it needs to be reined in by tougher regulations or even a corporate breakup.

But unraveling Facebook could become more difficult if Zuckerberg can successfully stitch together the messaging services behind an encrypted wall.

“I see that as the goal of this entire thing,” said Blake Reid, a University of Colorado law professor who specializes in technology and policy. He said Facebook could tell antitrust authorities that WhatsApp, Instagram Direct and Facebook Messenger are tied so tightly together that it couldn’t unwind them.

Combining the three services also lets Facebook build more complete data profiles on all of its users.

Already, businesses can already target Facebook and Instagram users with the same ads, and marketing campaigns are likely coming to WhatsApp eventually.

Facebook’s focus on messaging privacy raises other concerns. Messaging apps have in the past helped fake news and rumors spread fast, sometimes with deadly consequences. A

report from University of Oxford researchers last year found evidence of widespread disinformation campaigns on chat applications like WhatsApp. In one particularly brutal example, the Indian government last year accused WhatsApp of fueling rumors that led to lynchings and mob violence that wounded dozens.

Facebook responded by restricting the number of groups to which a message could be forwarded and labeling forwarded messages as such. Zuckerberg said that Facebook needs to protect both privacy and safety as it encrypted messaging services, although he noted to an “inherent trade-off” between security and safety, simply because Facebook won’t be able to read encrypted conversations.

And in some cases, Facebook could allow some content to automatically disappear in a day or two, as if it were a fleeting mirage.

“Some people want to store their messages forever and some people think having large collections of photos or messages is a liability as much as it is an asset,” Zuckerberg told the AP. “Figuring out the balance is a really important one.”

Don’t stop music: Campaign songs tell candidates’ story

By ELANA SCHOR Associated Press When Elizabeth Warren took the stage to launch her presidential run to the strains of Dolly Parton's "9 to 5," the song seemed to sum up the spirit of a candidacy built on giving workers a fairer shake.

Only days earlier, fellow Democrat Kamala Harris had exited her own campaign kickoff rally with an equally fitting musical choice of "My Shot," an anthem of ambition for political change from the hit musical "Hamilton." The song's chorus, delivered by a young Alexander Hamilton, underscored Harris' confident emergence as a top-tier White House contender: "I'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy and hungry, and I'm not throwing away my shot."

Presidential candidates have used thematic songs to great effect in recent decades.

Bill Clinton's upstart victory remains linked in the popular imagination with Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop (Thinking About Tomorrow)." Barack Obama showed off his musical fluency by picking multiple go-to songs in genres from hip-hop to rock to Motown.

But using campaign songs to help connect with voters can cause trouble for presidential hopefuls if musicians object to the use of their works, as Warren could be finding out.

"We did not approve the request, and we do not approve requests like this of (a) political nature," Parton's manager, Danny Nozell, told The Associated Press by email when asked about the Massachusetts senator's use of "9 to 5."

Nozell, CEO of CTK Management, did not respond to a question about whether Parton's team might register any formal complaint about Warren's use of the song, which she played during a Friday town hall meeting in New York City.

If Parton escalates the matter, there's no

AP Photo/Elise Amendola Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., acknowledges cheers as she takes the stage during an event to formally launch her presidential campaign in Lawrence, Mass. Presidential candidates have used thematic songs to great effect in recent times. But using tunes to help connect with voters can cause trouble for presidential hopefuls if musicians object to it. And that’s what Warren could be finding out is the case with Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5.” shortage of precedent: The late Tom Petty reportedly sent a cease-and-desist letter to Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., over the use of his song "American Girl" in her 2011 campaign, and former President George W. Bush got a similar letter from Petty over his choice of the singer's "I Won't Back Down" during the 2000 campaign.

President Donald Trump has faced his own rejection from popular artists after taking office, most recently from Rihanna. She tweeted in November that "not for much longer" would her music be permitted to play at Trump rallies, and soon after her representatives reportedly sent their own

cease-and-desist request.

The Warren campaign declined to comment on Nozell's response regarding its use of "9 to 5."

Guidelines for the use of campaign songs from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers state that "it may be easier for" campaigns to be licensed through performing rights organizations such as ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC to ensure that the use of songs at multiple large venues fully adheres to copyright statutes.

The Recording Industry Association of America, however, notes in its own guidance that licensing to use a specific song "can

be obtained by either the campaign or the venue."

When campaign songs catch on, the relationship between candidates and their favorite tunes can prove fruitful.

One of Obama's favorites, Stevie Wonder's "Signed Sealed Delivered I'm Yours," was performed live at the 2008 Democratic National Convention as well as during one of Obama's inaugural balls. In 2009, Obama revealed more about the deeper relevance of Wonder's music to his relationship with wife, Michelle.

"I think it's fair to say that had I not been a Stevie Wonder fan, Michelle might not have dated me," Obama said during remarks honoring Wonder at the White House. "The fact that we agreed on Stevie was part of the essence of our courtship," It's still early in the 2020 Democratic primary, giving candidates plenty of time to develop their campaign playlists. But the early choices by Warren and Harris indicate that this year's hopefuls are aware of the keen importance of music in building a candidate's public persona.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders concluded his campaign launch with "Power to the People."

Harris' use of "My Shot" isn't even her first public selection of a favorite tune. The California senator is an avid music fan — she recorded a "mood mix" for "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" this year — and has also used "California Love" by Dr. Dre and Tupac Shakur as a walk-on song for public events.

The rap-infused remix of "My Shot" first appeared on a playlist Harris created in 2017 for African-American Music Appreciation Month before she used it as exit music for her campaign kickoff rally in January.

No matter how a campaign obtains its license, the use of a song is unlikely to prove problematic unless the artist behind the work raises an objection.

Festival co-founder: Lineup for Woodstock 50 coming soon

By Mesfin Fekadu AP Music Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Woodstock cofounder Michael Lang says the wait is almost over regarding performers for Woodstock 50, despite media reports claiming Jay-Z, Black Keys and others will perform at the event in August.

“We are thrilled with all the excitement about Woodstock 50, but we have an obligation to our fans, artists and partners to do

things the right way,” Lang said in a statement to The Associated Press. “We are in the final stages of laying the groundwork and can’t wait to stage this once-in-a-lifetime event. We’ll be officially announcing the lineup and ticket on-sale soon, stay tuned!”

The original Woodstock concert took place in 1969. Last week Variety reported that JayZ, Black Keys, Dead & Company, Chance the Rapper, Imagine Dragons, the Killers, Gary Clark Jr. and others will perform at Woodstock 50.

The event is separate from an anniversary concert planned at the site of the original festival in 1969.

In an interview with The Associated Press when asked if Imagine Dragons would perform at Woodstock 50, bandleader Dan Reynolds said: “I don’t think that’s been announced yet, but I can tell you that we have been in talks with them.”

More than 80 artists are expected to perform at Woodstock 50, which will take place Aug. 16-18 in Watkins Glen, New York, about

115 miles northwest of the original site. Artists will perform on three main stages at Watkins Glen International racetrack in the Finger Lakes.

The original concert was held on a farm in Bethel, New York, that is now run as an attraction by The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. The venue plans its own anniversary event Aug. 16-18.

More than 400,000 people attended the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, which was held Aug. 15-17, 1969.

Taylor Swift offers ‘30 things I learned before turning 30’

Disturbed hits the stage

NEW YORK (AP) — Taylor Swift says she turns off comments on social media to “block some of the noise.”

That’s one lesson the singer outlined Wednesday in an article in Elle magazine about 30 things she’s learned before turning 30 this year.

Swift wrote that her biggest fear was going on tour after the Las Vegas concert shooting and the bombing at Manchester Arena in England. She said there was a tremendous amount of planning and expense to keep her fans safe.

She also says her fear of violence continues into her own life because of stalkers. She says people have to live bravely and not be ruled by “our fears.”

As for love, Swift believes it’s important to get to know someone before jumping in headfirst.

Swift will turn 30 on Dec. 13.

Aldean to receive artist of decade award NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Reigning entertainer of the year Jason Aldean will receive the artist of the decade award at this year's Academy of Country Music Awards in April.

The ACM announced Wednesday that Aldean will join only five other honorees that have received the award since 1969, including Marty Robbins, Loretta Lynn, Alabama, Garth Brooks and George Strait.

The award is given to a country artist or group who has dominated the genre over the decade through radio, digital media, sales and streaming, events, touring, television and artistic merit. With 13 ACM awards, Aldean has had four consecutive albums reach No. 1 on Billboard's 200 albums chart and 16 No. 1 singles on Billboard's country airplay chart which tracks radio airplay.

The ACMs will air live on April 7 on CBS.

Food for Thought … with Vicki Bennington

Going to Starbucks is a bit luxurious. All the coffees to choose from and someone else making the perfect cup seems almost too good to be true. And, you get to order from a barista!

It’s a chance for the average “Joe” to get a cup of “joe” in a seemingly endless selection of flavors. When did people begin to refer to coffee as joe? It appears in print for the first time in the 1930s, and there are three or four theories of where the nickname originated.

One of them is that it was a drink for the average man, or average “Joe,” if you will. I think I will go with that one, but if you want to be slightly amused (or confused), look up the other possible origins.

Fortunately, for everyone (average or not), Starbucks does indeed exist. In the Edwardsville area, there are four locations, so no matter where you are, you don’t have to drive far to get that coveted cup of coffee.

It’s hard to order just a plain old cup of joe though, once you’ve ventured in — so many other choices and ways to get coffee that is far

A cup of joe!

In this column, Vicki Bennington shares her love of food and all that involves, from special dishes at local and regional restaurants to new trends and fads, and things to try at home.

Contact her at vben-

from average.

So what’s the difference between café au lait and a latte? Café au lait is more fun to say, but aside from that, I found out that both are of European origins, but café au lait – meaning “coffee with milk” in French, starts with brewed coffee, then steamed milk is added.

A latte starts with espresso, then the

steamed milk, and lastly it’s topped with foam. A latte differs from a cappuccino in that it has more milk and less foam. “White coffee” is simply coffee with milk added.

So now we can choose from the extensive drink menu with a little more knowledge.

But there are so many choices!

You could literally go to Starbucks every day — for a lot of days — and never have the same drink. I can’t tell you how many exactly, because for everything on the menu you can ask for variations, which almost makes for an endless menu of coffee drinks. Cold brews, hot brews, refresher brews, espresso, fresh brewed, etc.

The Café Misto is Starbucks’ version of café au lait, described like this: “A one-to-one mix of fresh brewed coffee and steamed milk adds up to one distinctly delicious coffee drink.”

In the end, I chose the Cinnamon Shortbread Latte, “Rich espresso with buttery vanilla shortbread sauce, topped with a dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s shortbread made sippable.” That description sounds as

Starbucks’ Cinnamon Shortbread Latte & Starbucks’ vanilla bean scones good as the drink tasted.

Next time, I think I’ll try Caffé Americano See FOOD, Page 38

Hot Art at Art Alive!

By Nicole Dicks For The Edge

Edwardsville Arts Center at 618-655-0337 or visit edwardsvilleartscenter.com.

EDWARDSVILLE — The second annual Art Alive offered attendees an up-close-andpersonal view of the art making process while enjoying delicious appetizers, drinks and music. The third floor of the beautiful Wildey Theater had a little bit of something for everyone, offering a unique fundraiser for the Edwardsville arts community to enjoy.

At the Edwardsville Arts Center’s Art Alive, guests mixed and mingled with 12 professional artists and learned about their creative process as they finished their artwork over the course of the evening. Throughout the event, guests bid on their favorite pieces, participated in a variety of raffles, enjoyed food from Edwardsville’s EdgeWild restaurant and music by Janet Evra Trio. The the hip and trendy music group travels throughout the United States, sharing their traditional Latin jazz sound with modern influences.

Edwardsville Arts Center’s gallery manager, Carolyn Tidball, happily participated as this year’s featured ceramics artist. She also teaches the weekly Wednesday night drop-in ceramics class at the arts center.

“I am having such a great time,” said Tidball, who created several pieces for guests as they observed her steadfast technique on the pottery wheel, smiled and answered their questions. A Tidball piece auctioned off during the event was a colorful, one-of-a-kind teapot.

Edwardsville Arts Center’s executive director, Melissa McDonough-Borden, noted that Art Alive is becoming one of her favorite annual center events.

“It’s so exciting to host these wonderful artists and have an event full of smiling faces from our community,” she said. “I am grateful for the support shown here tonight for the Edwardsville Arts Center.

“We are known for the (Edwardsville) Art Fair in the fall, but I feel Art Alive has potential to become another beloved and highly-anticipated fundraiser for the arts center. Next year, our goal is to seek sponsors to help us on this mission, with the intent to not only grow awareness for the event, but also increase exponentially the importance of the arts in our community.”

The Edwardsville Arts Center is a community visual arts center located in Edwardsville, Illinois, featuring local, regional and national artists in its gallery. Proceeds from Art Alive will be used to fund the many programs and educational opportunities at the arts center. The arts center is dedicated to the community, offering regular art exhibitions and classes to enrich the area’s cultural experiences with affordable education and entertainment.

FOOD Continued from Page 31 — “Espresso shots topped with hot water to produce a light layer of crema.” Interesting.

OK. I chose my drink, now, what’s to eat?

I already had lunch, and I didn’t want to get too full before going home to make dinner.

Yikes! This was just an afternoon snack. Ultimately, the vanilla bean scones seemed like the perfect choice. Turns out, one vanilla bean scone is 120 calories and 4.5 grams of fat, but since nobody wants just one petite scone, I

get the three for $3. The calories start to add up, but I only ate two, so that’s somewhat acceptable on my continuing “eating better” lifestyle.

I recommend visiting Starbucks at mealtime, at least every once in a while. The food menu is very extensive, as well, which I didn’t realize how extensive, since I think of Starbucks as primarily a coffee house.

Breakfast choices are abundant, with croissants, oatmeal, egg bites and sandwiches, along with other bakery items, yogurt and fruit. Protein boxes (that look delicious and generous) can take you through breakfast or lunch, or there are sandwiches, panini and salads.

But, if you don’t have the time to go to Starbucks, or if they happen to be out of the scones (which has happened to my friend before and she was crushed), here’s a recipe I found online. One morning, I decided to give them a whirl, and while they weren’t quite as good as the “real” thing, they came in an admirable second, and they weren’t hard to make.

The ingredients list looks long, but for the most part, you probably have everything in your kitchen (except maybe the vanilla beans). And, you could always try substituting more vanilla extract for the beans.

Now this is not to say you should give up your Starbucks run. There’s that luxury thing, remember? But, it never hurts to have a backup plan. Enjoy!

Starbucks-like Vanilla Bean Scones 2 1/2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt

Starbucks-like Petite Vanilla Bean Scones 1/2 cup cold butter 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 egg 1/2 vanilla bean, scraped 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk to mix. Add butter and cut in with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles cornmeal texture. In another bowl, whisk together cream, egg, vanilla scraping and extract. Add liquid to flour mixture and stir until dough forms a ball. Put the dough onto a floured surface, and then knead briefly until dough comes together. Roll out dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut dough into eight rectangles or squares. Then cut on one diagonal and then

on the other to create 32 petite scones. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Transfer scones to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Glaze 3 cups powdered sugar 6 to 7 tablespoons heavy cream 1/2 vanilla bean, sliced in half, remove beans 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Whisk together glaze ingredients, adding cream one tablespoon at a time to achieve desired thickness. Dip cooled scones in glaze, and then place back on cooling rack to harden.

Review: Norway mints a new pop princess in Sigrid

By Mark Kennedy Associated Press Sigrid, "Sucker Punch" (Island Records) Rising pop singer Sigrid's new album "Sucker Punch" is perfectly titled — it's a surprise hit you never saw coming that instantly makes an impact.

The Norwegian performer has a knack for pure, crystalline synth-pop and her 12-track full-length debut is a string of massive hooks and beats, fed by videos featuring the seemingly normal and endearingly goofy 22-year-old.

Sigrid — born Sigrid Solbakk Raabe — first came to notice in 2017 with her breakout hit "Don't Kill My Vibe," a millennial giving shade to anyone talking down to her. "Say I'm young/I don't care/I won't quit," she sings on it. That song is included in "Sucker Punch" but it might not even be the high point of the

album.

She lets her falsetto soar on "Basic," shows adaptability on the complex "Strangers" and while the excellent Lorde-like title track seems deceptively spare, it's a pure wriggling earworm.

Lorde is, appropriately, a fan, adding two Sigrid songs to her "Homemade Dynamite" Spotify playlist, alongside tunes by Future, Taylor Swift and Khalid. Sigrid's cover of Leonard Cohen's classic "Everybody Knows" made it onto the "Justice League" soundtrack.

Sigrid has gotten some songwriting assistance from Emily Warren, who has worked with The Chainsmokers, Dua Lipa and Backstreet Boys.

Her lyrics often touch on seeking connections, looking for reassurance in love or confessing that she feels exposed. "My heart is aching, do you feel it too?" she asks on the outstanding orchestra-fed, recovery song "Don't Feel Like Crying."

Sigrid shows a lot of her range on the album, adopting a slight reggae feel on "Business Dinners" and virtually rapping on "Don't Feel Like Crying."

On "Dynamite," the album closer, she tosses out all the synths and drum machines in favor of a simple piano accompaniment. It's a devastating breakup song and it's a vocal standout.

"You're safe as a mountain/ But know that I am dynamite," she sings.

So feel free to add Sigrid to the list of fellow rising pop talents like Aurora and Astrid S. who all hail from Norway. And get ready for her sucker punch.
