Minneapolis: April 7 to April 8, 2018
Cloud Cult at Orchestra Hall Poster
Cloud Cult
As for Cloud Cult, the band's live energy is fun to watch. Personally, I would've liked to have them start with "The Show Starts Now" …
Here are some shows taking place in the Minneapolis/St Paul area from April 7 to April 8, 2018.

Duluth rock band Cloud Cult will be doing a two-night residency at the Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis.
The group just released the soundtrack to the film The Great Alone, so it's fitting that they've booked the Orchestra Hall. For this tour, only some selected venues were chosen to showcase their The Great Alone release, including the sold-out Lincoln Center Appel Room and Viroqua, WI's Historic Temple Theatre (also sold out).
What sets the Orchestra Hall show apart is that Cloud Cult will be joined by the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra.
Also, if you've ever seen the band, in addition to the live music, they bring with them two artists who will paint for the duration of the show. At the end, fans can walk away owning a piece of original artwork… very unique for a rock band.
Upcoming shows:

Baths (aka Will Wiesenfeld) is back in town on Saturday. We caught Baths in Jun 2013 and wrote, "Garnering much praise and adoration from major music blogs and online outlets, including a Best New Music badge from Pitchfork, Baths has been riding high as a result. I didn't even recognize Baths' Will Wiesenfeld as he took the stage on Wednesday night at the Triple Rock. Long gone are his chop sideburns and he looked noticeably thinner."

S. CAREY
+ Gordi
thecedar.org
Local S. Carey is ending his tour with a homecoming gig at the Cedar Cultural Center In Minneapolis.
Sydney-via-Canowindra Gordi (aka Sophie Payten) will open the show. Her debut record Reservoir came out last year on Jagjaguwar. We saw Gordi in Jun 2016 and said, " Since Gordi is touring in support of her debut EP Clever Disguise (Jagjaguwar), this was her first time in Minneapolis, and they seemed really pleased at the turnout. Her songs are quiet, luckily the audience was respectful and listened to the folky (with a touch of electronica) songs."

Ty Segall and his all-new Freedom Band will be headlining First Avenue's mainroom this Saturday. Segall is one of the most diverse guitarist and songwriter, so expect something new with the Freedom Band, vs his previous band The Muggers. We saw Segall & the Muggers in Mar 2016 and said that "With his eighth studio Emotional Mugger, album via Drag City Records, we see Ty Segall at his most experimental and more focused on setting a certain style and theme with the new album."

Minneapolis: November 10, 2016
Here are some shows taking place in the Minneapolis/St Paul area on November 10, 2016.
While most of Albert Hammond Jr.'s set (see setlist photo), sounds much like a missing Strokes album. This is not a bad thing, if you love The Strokes. …
Streets of Laredo
Brooklyn-based band (by the way of Auckland), Streets of Laredo started off the show with a 45 min. set of songs from their Lonsdale Line EP (out now on Dine Alone Records) and upcoming debut …
at Triple Rock Social Club
Thursday, 11/10/16, 7:30pm ($15)
triplerocksocialclub.com
CRX is the exciting new band fronted by The Strokes' guitarist Nick Valensi. Other members of the band includes keyboard player Richie James Follin, drummer Ralph Alexander, bassist Jon Safley, and guitarist Darian Zahedi. The band will be stopping by the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis next Thursday, November 10th, touring in support of their debut album New Skin (Columbia Records).
We're also excited to see that Streets Of Laredo will be touring with the band. We previously caught the Brooklyn band in June 2014 and wrote, "The rather large band features seven members, including two brothers, Daniel and David Gibson, and David's wife Sarahjane on the tom-tom and has an earthy folk sound similar in tone to Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes and The Head and The Heart."
California's The Gloomies to open.

Canadian power-pop veterans Sloan have returned to our musical shores with an ambitious new double album, Commonwealth, due out September 9th on Yep Roc - and these guys ...
Thursday, 11/10/16, 8pm ($17.50)
Sloan's One Chord To Another 20th Anniversary USA show will be kicking off at Madison's The Frequency this November 9th. Right after, they will be stopping by the Turf Club in St Paul to play their best-selling album in its entirety.
Look, if there was one Sloan album you own, it's probably this one.
We've seen anniversary tours before, sometime it can get really tricky as due to track listing, they may have to have pre-tuned guitars or a guitar tech on hand to play everything correctly. We've seen it done wrong too, so, as we said, these album anniversaries can be hard to pull off...
The band probably won't have any issues, as we've seen them play their entire Commonwealth double album to perfection at the Turf Club in October 2014.
No opening band listed... but seeing as it is Sloan, they'll likely play a double set like last time.

Minneapolis: November 2 to November 3, 2015
Here are some shows taking place in the Minneapolis/St Paul area from November 2 to November 3, 2015.
The Bird and the Bee
A Los Angeles based indie-pop band, The Bird and the Bee combine their love of jazz and electro-pop to make some hypnotic tunes. Inara George (the bird) and Greg Kurstin (the bee) …
at Cedar Cultural Center
Monday, 11/02/2015, 7pm ($15)
Los Angeles-based duo The Bird and the Bee will be stopping by Minneapolis' Cedar Cultural Center on Monday.... although I was recently told that multi-instrumentalist Greg Kurstin will not be joining the band on this date.
Still, after a five-year hiatus/gap, it will be nice to see the band again in any form - even sans-Kurstin.
The Bird and the Bee will be promoting their fourth album Recreational Love, available on Rostrum Records.
Regarding the long gap in album, singer Inara George said, "We didn't mean to take so long but life ended up getting in the way, in a great way."
George also sings in the indie-folk supergroup the Living Sisters and Kurstin is really busy as a Grammy Award-nominated producer (working with Sia, Ellie Goulding, Pink and Beck, etc.)
Alex Lilly to open (we previously mentioned that she is also in the band... as well as Obi Best).
Local DJ Jake Rudh will likely be playing some 80s music videos.
11/02/15 Minneapolis, MN Cedar Cultural Center
11/29/15 San Diego, CA The Irenic
RX Bandits
Recently the "builders" vehicle was in a wreck and the kind folks of the RX Bandits helped with transportation of the equipment and band members until the situation was remedied. …
How has it already been ten years?! I remember listening to Juturna by Circa Survive in my little blue Kia Rio... my first car. Well, it has been ten years and Circa Survive is celebrating by going out on a tour and re-releasing this quintessential album as a deluxe version in vinyl, CD and digital formats.
Anthony Green, singer, has an unmistakable voice which made Circa Survive become one of the "must listen to" bands for any teenager in the early 2000's. This band features members of Saosin, This Day Forward, and Taken and have a very angsty rock feel.
Circa Survive will be playing at Mill City Nights on November 2nd with RX Bandits and Citizen. I saw RX Bandits a couple of years ago at Station Four in Saint Paul but haven't heard much of them since. I am super excited for this show! Make sure to get your tickets in advance! This is sure to be a busy show!

You know we love The Strokes. When we caught guitarist/singer Albert Hammond Jr. live last year, we realized that his solo music sounded just like The Strokes. If you love the Strokes, you will love Hammond Jr.

We previously caught Shinedown (with co-headliner Three Days Grace) at Target Center in 2013 and noted that frontman Brent Smith "knew how to work the crowd."
They have a big fanbase in Minneapolis, and had the audience eating right out of their hands.
Opening up for Shinedown will be Wilson, who was just in town in September with Trivium. Expect the band to do a similar "party music" set on this tour.
The show is sold out.

Here are some shows taking place in Minneapolis/St Paul on Monday, November 17, 2014.
JULIAN CASABLANCAS+THE VOIDZ
Monday 11/17/14, 7:30pm
$25: first-avenue.com
Like many of you, I love The Strokes. There is this story I like to tell, some years ago, I got into a van full and no one knew each other... but when the driver put on the Strokes' Is This It album, everyone in the van was singing along.
Part of what made that album so classic is the music melodies of Albert Hammond, Jr., and the vocal styling of Julian Casablancas. Casablancas has been busy building an empire with his Cult Records, and recently released an album called Tyranny with his new band called Julian Casablancas + The Voidz.
What I love is that Casablancas is pricing the digital album for only $3.87. He realized there's no distribution, packaging, or physical cost and sells it accordingly. Fans will want to pick up the album on CD or vinyl anyway - and you can grab it on one of his tour dates below.

Jake Bugg
UK wunderkind Jake Bugg, tickets are already hard-to-find (Minneapolis is long sold out), but any effort to find a ticket should be worth it. …
"It's the best material that I've made so far", a bold statement from Albert Hammond, Jr. regarding his new EP, AHJ (on Strokes bandmate Julian Casablanca's imprint, Cult Records) …
Q Awards-winner and Mercury Prize-nominee, Jake Bugg is currently on tour in America in support of his latest release, Shangri La (out now on Jake Bugg Records/Virgin EMI). He sold out his First Avenue show in Minneapolis last Friday, January 17th.
Opening up for the British singer were Brooklyn's The Skins and Strokes' guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr.
The Skins
You can actually read more about The Skins' show in detail. The Skins consists of three siblings: Bayli, Reef, and Kaya Mckeithan, plus guitarists Daisy Spencer and Russell Chell.
The thing about this band is that they look and sound comfortable on stage, this wasn't amateur hour for them. Pinning down their sound is a little harder than it sounds, because the band mixes in funk, rock, R&B, a little bit of everything.
The band's latest release is a single called "Dead Hands", taken from their forthcoming debut album Show Me Some Skins.
When Albert Hammond Jr., took the stage by re-dressing the set with bright red lights and started playing "Holiday", from his solo debut album Yours to Keep, I was instantly reminded of how much I love The Strokes.
Clearly the real talent in the Strokes is with Hammond.
AHJ's Setlist
While most of his set (see setlist photo), sounds much like a missing Strokes album. This is not a bad thing, if you love The Strokes. Tracks included tracks from Hammond's debut album and Como Te Llama, and rounding out the rest were three tracks from his latest EP AHJ ("St. Justice", "Rude Customer", and "Carnal Cruise"). Interestingly enough, he chose to end his set with a cover of the Misfits' "Last Caress".
As expected with a relatively new musician, Jake Bugg balanced between his two albums, the self-titled and his latest, Shangri La. He rarely talk between his songs, and when he does, it was hard to make out what he was saying.
Bugg's Setlist
Most of his set were on the louder/faster side, except for when he played "Pine Trees" and "Broken" as a solo acoustic set. This was when the talkers in the audience was at their worst.
The biggest cheer of the night came was when "Two Fingers" was played, which tells me that this must be the breakout single for Bugg. The other big cheer came out for "Lightning Bolt" (which I believe is Bugg's highest charted song, at #26 on the UK Single Chart).
The highlight of the show for me was during the three-track encore, Bugg played a cover of Neil Young's "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)".
Although Jake Bugg touts The Beatles and Oasis as influences (he certainly has the haircut), his live performance sounds like southern blues. It's a good direction for this young artist, and I'm curious to see how his sound may develop in future albums.
Jake Bugg continues his North American tour until February 1st, then his tour for Shangri La takes him back to the UK, Australia, and eventually Japan.

Who let the dogs out?
AHJ
Cult Records
The Strokes' guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr., will be in Minneapolis on Thursday, November 14th at the Varsity Theater. It's been a while since his previous album ¿Cómo Te Llama? (2008), but it looks like he may have some new material …
alberthammondjr.com
"It's the best material that I've made so far", a bold statement from Albert Hammond, Jr. regarding his new EP, AHJ (on Strokes bandmate Julian Casablanca's imprint, Cult Records) considering he and band The Strokes have made some of the most defining music of the last fifteen years.
AHJ was produced, engineered and mixed by producer Gus Oberg, who's worked with both Hammond and The Strokes previously, as well as with the likes of Willie Nelson, and produced the latest from Minneapolis' own Har Mar Superstar.
Newly married and also about to launch a clothing line, the EP delivers a reborn and culminating sound for Hammond, who played every instrument but drums on the release.
While you shouldn't go into the show expecting Strokes songs necessarily, Hammond has been working in a few covers (Misfits, GBV) as well as playing the spectrum of his solo output.
Currently opening for UK wunderkind Jake Bugg, tickets are already hard-to-find (Minneapolis is long sold out), but any effort to find a ticket should be worth it.

Love's a Dog
Don't Darling Me Records
Kim Taylor
I'm glad I made an effort to catch Kim Taylor at the Turf Club in Saint Paul on November 4th. I don't need to tell you that crossing the Mississippi from Minneapolis is a bit tough for me…
kim-taylor.net
Kim Taylor's new album Love's a Dog came out last October 8th on Don't Darling Me Records. Love's a Dog reunites her with producer/multi-instrumentalist Jimi Zhivago (Ollabelle) with Devon Ashley (Lemonheads) on drums. Taylor contributes piano, guitar and vocals.
The dog on the cover artwork is actually Taylor's pet, "My dogs became an icon for this record, representing both irritation and loyalty. They compel me to reflect on my human relationships but sometimes they just drive me completely nuts. This is also pretty much how I see love."
Kim Taylor at the Turf Club
As you know, we've seen Taylor a few times, the most recent was at the Turf Club in Minneapolis on November 4th, 2010.
Anyway, in addition to the new album, Taylor was cased in a lead role in Matthew Porterfield's "I Used To Be Darker" film. She's currently overseas promoting the film and her music. Here are some of her events coming up:
01/16/14 St. Thomas Kirche, Kreuzberg – 8pm concert Berlin, Germany
01/18/14 Filmhaus Nürnberg, KunstKulturQuartier 8pm Nurnberg, Germany
01/20/14 Sweethome 36 – Wohnkompositionen 8pm Berlin, Germany

On the 20th Anniversary of Snoop Doggy Dog's debut album Doggystyle, Engine Room Recordings released their tribute to the man with Doggystyle Restyled: A Tribute To Snoop Dogg, which came out December 17th, 2013.

Baha Men
This reggae pop song basically put Baha Men, from Nassau, Bahamas, on the music map. The lyrics are so simple and catchy that basically people were taking the song and putting in their own item.…
bahamen.com
In a recent survey by Insurance.com for best and worst songs for the road, drivers said that Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" was top of their list. Other songs included Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long".
"Some people mock the Bay Area balladeers, but there's no denying Journey has a fan base, given they took two of the top five spots for songs that people enjoy when driving," said Michelle Megna, managing editor of Insurance.com.
Now, as for the worst songs, The Baha Men took the top spot with their one-hit wonder song "Who Let The Dogs Out?", a song that W♥M dared as greatest song ever. Whenever "Who Let the Dogs Out?" or Taylor Swift's "We Are Never, Ever Getting Back Together" came on the radio, drivers switch stations immediately.
Top five worst driving songs:
"Who Let the Dogs Out?" by The Baha Men
"We Are Never, Ever Getting Back Together" by Taylor Swift
"Believe" by Cher
"Feelings" by Morris Albert
"Papa Don't Preach" by Madonna

The band broke up in 1999, but reformed under the guidance of original founder Lou Barlow (Dinosaur Jr), without Eric Gaffney (who is currently busy with his own music project called Fields of Gaffney).

Nobunny (aka Justin Champlin) is my brother's favorite band at the moment, and their live act sounds amazing, complete with weird costumes and that iconic bunny mask that Champlin wears on stage.

W♥M175: Europe
Jess and Brody from W♥M stopped in to talk about their upcoming European trip and what they are expecting. I am hoping to have them cover some shows in London when they are there from May 15th to June 3rd; we'll see how that will work out or not.
Topics we discussed:
News: Daft Punk fourth studio album, Random Access Memories, out on Daft Life/Columbia Records on May 21st, 2013. Personally, I love the French dance/techno duo, been a fan since Homework in 1997. I don't know how successful their new Random Access Memories will be on their own imprint, Daft Life via Columbia Records, but millions of fans will let us know this May.
On Tour: Chicago/Minneapolis trio On an On just announced their spring tour with Savoir Adore (who we covered last year). On an On is one of those bands that got the attention of Jess, who said they look and sound amazing from their recent SXSW appearance.
On an On will kick off their tour in support of Give In this April - which I'm only listing their North American dates below. See their website for more UK and overseas dates.
04/04 - Washington, DC - Rock 'n Roll Hotel
04/05 - Harrisonburg, VA - MacRock Fest
04/06 - Chapel Hill, NC - Local 506
04/08 - Athens, GA - Georgia Theatre Rooftop
04/09 - Atlanta, GA - The Drunken Unicorn
04/11 - Columbus, OH - Rumba Café
04/12 - Toronto, ON - The Drake
04/13 - Montreal, QC - Club Lambi
04/14 - Boston, MA - Church of Boston
04/16 - Burlington, VT - Signal Kitchen
04/18 - New York, NY - Knitting Factory
04/26 - Minneapolis, MN - 7th Street Entry
Also on tour is Caveman. I've already listed Caveman's tour dates yesterday, so I won't list it here. Jess is excited to see the band this week (Thursday at the Troubadour).
Also, Vu recounts his tragic Caveman story around the time they were on tour for Koko B. Ware.
New Albums: Johnny Marr's The Messenger. See previous article on his tour dates. We all love the Smiths, but can a guitarist make it as a solo artist (note: Johnny Marr + Healers tour and album didn't go too well, but I saw them in 2003). The Stokes's Come Down Machine is coming out tomorrow (March 26th). No one's heard the new album yet, but if you're a fan, you'll definitely want to pick up the Best Buy exclusive which comes with a bonus T-Shirt. Shout Out Louds' new album Optica came out last month on Merge Records.
Palma Violets' 180, according to Brody is the "best album so far." Hey, guess what? It just so happens that Palma Violet is doing a North American tour (and they are stopping by Minneapolis!)
04/12/13 – Indio, CA – Coachella Music and Arts Festival
04/17/13 – Los Angeles, CA – The Echo *
04/23/13 – San Francisco, CA – The Independent
04/30/13 – Minneapolis, MN – 7th Street Entry
05/01/13 – Chicago, IL – Schuba's Tavern
05/02/13 – Cleveland Heights, OH – The Grog
05/06/13 – Allston, MA – Brighton Music Hall
05/07/13 – Washington, D.C. – Rock & Roll Hotel
05/08/13 – Philadelphia, PA – Johnny Brenda's
05/09/13 – Brooklyn, NY – Music Hall of Williamsburg
Song of the Show: "Only Heather" by Virginia's Wild Nothing, taken from their second album Nocturne (August 28, 2012) via Captured Tracks.
Wild Nothing came highly recommended by both Jess and Brody, so it's a good song to end the show.
The band is currently on tour.

BONUS: Family of the Year, Free Energy, and Dedicate Steve. Fun British terms. Supergrass' "Late in the Day".
Corrections: Bonnet is the car's hood, while the boot is the car's trunk. The Strokes' debut album is called Is This It, not self-titled. Blur and Oasis were rivals, not Blur and Pulp.

The free song is described as "layered and ultimately anthemic" and should give you a taste of this Cleveland duo's "gritty, space-psychedelia".

To get their cover of Delaney & Bonnie's "Well, Well" as a free download, you have to sign up for a JBXP account at jbxp.net. This is apparently a myspace-like social network, but for Joe Bonamassa fans. Kind of a weird (and not to mention limited) social network - but when you sign up, you get to become friends with Joe and a free copy of his compilation album, Blues In The Schools.
As for the Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa's album, Don't Explain, which looks to be a soul cover album (covering such artists like Gil Scott-Heron, Tom Waits, Etta James and Aretha Franklin), is coming out in the UK on Monday, September 26th, 2011, via Provogue Records.

FORT WILSON RIOT
fortwilsonriot.com
I've seen this band, both as Ice Palace and as Fort Wilson Riot, they are pretty well-known in the Twin Cities.
The latest news I have on the band is that they are excited to be playing at Ohio's 10th annual Midpoint Music Festival (MPMF) in mid-September.
You can grab a free song, "For All The Little Things" at mpmf.com. The song was previously seen on Daytrotter, and I'm assuming the song will be available on their forthcoming album.

"Outlaw" country music legend, Merle Haggard, will be releasing his latest album, Working in Tennessee on October 4th, 2011, via Vanguard Records.
The album is mostly original Haggard songs, with some covers, including T. J. "Red" Arnall's "Cocaine Blues" and The Kingston Trio's "Jackson", which both songs were made famous by Johnny Cash. I suspect Haggard's versions will be closer to Cash's version.
Haggard, who was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2008, continues to sing and perform at retirement age. But he seems to enjoy it: Haggard is quoted about his live shows: "I'm swinging back in full throttle right now. Music keeps me alive. It makes me breathe better. It's funny, but I feel better when I come off a tour than when I start out."
Get the free title track, "Working in Tennessee" at vanguardrecords.com.
RACHAEL YAMAGATA
rachaelyamagata.com
I must confess, I have the "the mega-watt hots for Ms. Yamagata".
Rachael Yamagata's new album, Chesapeake, was made possible by her fans via PledgeMusic (which is like Kickstarter, but for music). The overwhelming support from her fans total over 150% of her goal. Most of the unique stuff like handwritten lyrics and music sheet were snatched up quickly and autographed setlist going away fast (10 left). I think PledgeMusic and Kickstarter is doing it right with these rare/unique items in addition to the "regular old'" CD.
Chesapeake comes out October 11th, 2011, her first studio album in three years. Free track "Starlight" is available here.
Plus, she'll probably be doing her new songs on our upcoming tour:

GOODMAN BROWN
goodmanbrown.bandcamp.com
Goodman Brown is a New Jersey indie pop. Don't really know much about the band, they seem like a fairly new band, with their debut album, Moon Digby, released last year.
They have a two-track free EP at bandcamp.com.
As you can see from the crap cover (censored) artwork, the actual name is F***! It's Free!!, but they're calling it simply, Free-P. Tour dates below.
Aug 19 Bushwick, NY Party Xpo
Aug 25 Philadelphia, PA Grape Room

Aug 31 Newark, DE Mojo Main
Sept 7 New Haven, CT BAR Night Club
Sept 8 Cambridge, MA All Asia

Finally, if you haven't already downloaded the tribute album, STROKED, it is available as a free download at stereogum.com.
Personally, I love The Strokes' debut album, Is This It, released ten years ago on July 30th, 2001. It came at a time when bands weren't doing this sort of rock music, like it was from the 70s and Julian Casablancas' laid back vocal stylings.
There was a moment when I was stuck in Chicago, and I got into a van full of young people and they put on Is This It, and we were all singing the song from start to finish! It wasn't a very long album, but what gets me is how we all knew each song's lyrics and happily sung along to it. There are very few albums that we can love every song.

IPO Price Increases Give Way to Declines, QSBS Investors Must Stay Alert
Companies joining the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq at the beginning of 2021 enjoyed dramatic increases in share prices, but this trend is now on the decline. Since the first quarter of the year ended, even companies whose initial public offering (IPO) debuted at a high price have already seen significant dips.
The year of 2021 rang in with a high level of IPO enthusiasm. This was on the heels of some impressive price jumps by companies whose shares debuted in December 2020. For example, Airbnb saw an increase of 113 percent on its opening day, and DoorDash saw an equally respectable 86 percent jump. This momentum continued into January and February of 2021 as the average company saw an increase of 40 percent from their IPO price on the company's first day of trading.
However, March and April of 2021 were not as profitable, and the average increase came in at about 20 percent. As of mid-May, the average had fallen to about 18 percent. This data does not include special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs), which have been an exception to the rule this year.
Most companies debuting now are still seeing an increase from their IPO price, with some notable exceptions. Waterdrop, a Chinese insurance technology company, fell 19 percent on their opening day. Vaccitech, who owns the technology behind the Oxford/AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine, fell 17 percent. Yet not every company has experienced this slump. Figs, a company that manufactures hospital scrubs, saw a 36 percent increase during its first day of trading and an additional 14 percent on its second day.
Overall, the second quarter of 2021 has shown about 11 percent of companies exceeding their initial pricing, whereas 13 percent are pricing below expectations. In 2021, new IPOs (not including SPACs) raised $42 billion in the first quarter—the highest number recorded during the pandemic. Comparatively, $18 billion was raised in April and May.
As the world looks forward to a post-pandemic era and the market recalibrates, would-be investors must stay informed on these trends and look for opportunities. Those seeking to invest in qualified small business stock (QSBS) in the private markets can use this time to investigate implications of potential tax savings from recent public market IPOs, and review current QSBS requirements to ensure that companies they invest in now will qualify for tax benefits when these companies become the next to IPO.

Rihanna honours a deceased fan
Rihanna has shown her fan Monia the last honour in an emotional post on Instagram. The singer posted a photo of those made in June. On 25 December, Monia died of the consequences of cancer. It was the third time that the disease returned to the woman.
"This Christmas we have lost a beautiful soul that was a beacon of strength for all of us. She spent most of her time in the hospital or at the doctor. This picture was taken a few months ago when she told me that the cancer was back. I never forget the fear I saw in her eyes. Yet she remained strong and fought every day. We are all broken here, but will never forget you. I love you my angel, go in peace," Rihanna writes with the photo.
The two met during a meet & greet in 2015 and kept in touch. Rihanna gave her heart a boost through social media. Earlier this month, when things got worse with Monia's health, the singer wrote 'to pray for her'. She also wished her much strength during her fight against the disease.

An insightful piece about giving a reading and (of course) other things. I recognize what Lupita Nyong'o calls "the seduction of inadequacy" — boy, do I ever. There's a big payoff for feeling unworthy: you don't have to try, don't have to risk, don't have to make mistakes. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only writer who sometimes falls for the seduction!
Now I have a name of what came over me on the stage of The Moth – "the seduction of inadequacy" – thank you, Susanna!
But you persevered and you did it! 🙂 This made me think (not for the first time) about how I stopped singing entirely because another kid in the junior choir told me I always sang off-key. No one had ever said this to me before. This kid and I did not like each other. But I was sure she was right and that if I kept singing I was going to find out for sure that I couldn't sing. It was 20 years before I started singing again, in the year before I left D.C.

The term "family business" has special meaning for sisters Alicia Luecke-DeMichele and Marcia Luecke-Toepfer. Together they run three jewelry stores, the flagship location in Freeport having been established by their grandfather, Robert G. Luecke, in 1921.
The family connection to Freeport's historic downtown business district dates back even further, however. Robert began his jeweler's work in a corner of the Blust Dry Goods Store inside a building erected by his father-in-law, E.A. Blust, at 10 E. Main St., Freeport. The Blust Building, built in 1892, remains an iconic downtown landmark.
"Once the dry goods business fizzled, Grandpa (Robert G. Luecke) took over the building and set up Luecke Jewelers in 1921," explains Alicia. "My grandma Margaret did a lot of the bookkeeping and other work. Watch repair was a big deal at that time, and they had two repair people onsite."
The jewelry business was still going strong when Robert welcomed his son, Charles M., to the shop in 1955. In coming decades, Charles M. would oversee the expansion of Luecke Jewelers to five times its original size, adding stores in Monroe, WI and Belvidere, IL. Today, at age 85, he still works in the stores a few days a week.
"He does all the estate and antique jewelry sorting and pricing," says Alicia. "He loves it."
Charles' two daughters and three sons learned about jewelry and watch repair by observing their dad and grandfather at work.
"Dad would bring all five of us to the shop on Sunday afternoons, to give my mom some peace and quiet, and we'd work around the store and observe Dad and Grandpa at their workbenches," recalls Alicia.
There was plenty of incentive for the children to cooperate during these Sunday outings. "If we behaved well, we got to go to the Union Dairy afterward for ice cream."
Downtown Freeport remains as important to the Luecke family now as it was in 1921. "Our family has owned the building for more than 100 years, which is pretty rare," says Alicia. "We take great pride in being in downtown Freeport for that reason."
On the second floor of the Blust Building, above the jewelry store, the family operates Luecke's Antique Mall, which brims with fine vintage home furnishings and much more.
Of Charles M.'s five children, daughters Marcia and Alicia, and son Charles G., showed the most interest in the family business. When Charles M. decided to set up a second location – in Monroe, WI, in 1981- he brought in Marcia and Charles G. to run it. "By then we'd been pulling a lot of customers from Monroe to Freeport, so it made sense to open a Monroe location," Alicia explains. That store in on the historic Monroe Square, at 1029 16th Ave.
Seven years later, Charles M. groomed daughter Marcia to take over management of the Freeport location; Alicia took over the Monroe store. Charles G. does appraisal work in all three stores.
The family never thought of expanding its operation to Belvidere, until it was approached by citizens from that city who said they'd been without a locally owned jewelry store for too long.
"We did the research, then opened in 2012 in Winter Plaza, a strip mall on State Street in Belvidere," explains Alicia. "Marcia oversees that store as well as the Freeport store." Today the Belvidere store is at 1444 N. State St.
The family members work together as well.
"We've been lucky, over time," says Alicia. "We all get along well. Everybody meshes and helps each other out. I know that's not the case in every family business, but, for us, it works. Strong communication is important. We trust each other."
And trust is really the cornerstone of a successful jewelry business, says Alicia.
"A locally owned jewelry store – one that has some longevity and a strong reputation in its community – offers something that big-box type jewelers just can't," she says. "We offer a level of comfort. People feel comfortable with us handling their items. They feel good about the long-lasting relationship developed with us over the years, as they bring in pieces for cleanings and repair. They like knowing that we'll be here for the long haul. They know we won't steer them in the wrong direction for a purchase, and that we'll be fair in our pricing."
As much as customers appreciate the expertise – Luecke Jewelers are members of the American Gem Society – they also like the family's laid -back style.
"We're not pushy and we don't rush customers to make a decision," says Alicia. "We just answer questions and help them walk through the selection process."
In-store services offered at the three locations include free jewelry cleaning and diamond inspection; expert jewelry repair; watch repair and battery installation; pearl and bead restringing; life-time trade-up on diamond jewelry; and the purchase of pre-owned jewelry, gold and silver.
Engagement and wedding rings are a big part of business at all three locations, of course. Luecke Jewelers buys only from suppliers who guarantee their diamonds are conflict-free.
"Traditional white gold settings are popular with younger generations, now, as they were in the 1980's and '90's," says Alicia. "Trends swing back and forth. When gold prices jumped, alternative metals grew in popularity, like titanium and tungsten. Gold prices have since come down a lot, but they're still high, at around $1,200 per ounce."
The Luecke sisters make an effort to carry quality items in a variety of price points. They display an array of precious gems – sapphires, rubies and emeralds – as well as semi-precious jewels like garnets and amethysts. There are modern lines of jewelry made with stainless steel, Black Hills gold and ever-classic pearls, and "all of the stores offer discounts on the birthstones for that month," notes Alicia.
Also trending now are Diamonds in Motion – diamonds specially set in 14 karat and sterling silver in a way that causes them to constantly move and catch the light, according to the rhythm of the wearer's heartbeat.
Sideways crosses and infinity symbols are trending, and diamond stud earrings remain a timeless classic.
Another popular item is the Citizen eco-drive watch that never requires a battery. "The watch gathers energy from light and stores it," Alicia explains. "People who have them love them."
All Luecke Jewelers stores have wish books in which customers may note the items they like best.
"Men love them," says Alicia. "It makes it so easy for them to get something she really wants. He's in and out of here quickly, and everyone's happy."
Friends of the jewelers sometimes ask whether a fourth generation is interested in the family business.
"We're happy to report that my daughter, who lives in Madison, and two nephews, who live in Freeport, have shown a lot of interest in the business," says Alicia.
About 15 people work in the three stores, and even those who are not related by blood seem like extended family members.
"I think it's one reason we have very low staff turnover," she says. "Our employees feel like they're a part of the family."

Monitoring and Diagnosing Diseases By Voice Analysis
ZaggoCare · May 1, 2022 · Leave a Comment
Wouldn't it be amazing if an app on your phone could diagnose health problems by identifying changes in your speech? Although it may seem futuristic, diagnosing diseases by voice analysis is an exciting development. With this technology, we could receive diagnoses earlier than traditionally possible and monitor chronic conditions. Additionally, monitoring vocal patterns could help doctors track disease progress and make appropriate treatment decisions.
It turns out that certain diseases, like those affecting our heart, lungs, or brain can alter our voices. Therefore, subtle changes can indicate early signs of disease. Using artificial intelligence (AI), software can detect "vocal biomarkers", which are signatures, or features, or a combination of features that can be used to diagnose patients, monitor patient health, or grade the severity of a disease.
Simply put, by analyzing a person's voice, an algorithm could identify vocal patterns that are characteristic of certain diseases. Importantly, diagnosing diseases by voice analysis could provide fast, accurate, easy, cost-effective screenings that can take place in almost any location.
Diagnosing diseases by voice analysis.
Read below for a few of the ways in which we may benefit from this technology.
COVID-19.
Rapid, accurate diagnoses of COVID-19 cases is critical to get the pandemic under control. Unfortunately, long lines and longer waits for appointments made getting a diagnosis challenging and frustrating. How great would it be if we could get an accurate diagnosis, at home, by speaking or coughing into an app?
An MIT team developed an algorithm that has correctly identified people with COVID-19 solely on the sound of their coughs. They trained their algorithm with thousands of cough recordings submitted through their website during April and May of 2020.
Interestingly, the algorithm correctly identified COVID-19 infections in 98.5% of people who had received an official positive COVID-19 test. Moreover, the algorithm was also quite successful in identifying COVID-19 among asymptomatic people.
MIT scientist and study co-author Brian Subirana said: "The way you produce sound changes when you have COVID, even if you're asymptomatic."
Similarly, the startup Sonaphi aims to use vocal biomarkers combined with machine learning to gain insights into health and wellness. Currently, the company is gathering data to identify vocal biomarkers for COVID-19 infections. Like the MIT program, they are asking people to share voice samples and test results on their app. They hope to use this database of vocal biomarkers to create AI that can detect COVID through voice recordings.

Parkinson's disease.
Voice disorders are very frequent among people with Parkinson's disease – seen in as many as 89% of cases. These voice disorders are mostly related to articulation, including pitch variations, breathiness, mumbling, and slurring. Interestingly, research shows changes in voice features in up to 78% of early-stage Parkinson's patients, even though both doctors and patients often don't notice these changes.
Importantly, experts believe it's likely that screening for vocal biomarkers will help with early diagnosis as well as to track disease progression, supplementing the traditional physical exam. Hopefully, doctors will be able to use this technology for early diagnosis, to determine when to start treatment, and to monitor the effectiveness of treatments.
Parkinson's Voice Initiative
Importantly, their research shows that recording 'aaah' vocal sounds using lab-quality digital recordings can accurately diagnose Parkinson's disease, with almost 99% accuracy. However, the Initiative now wants to test if using "regular" digital audio lines, like those in our homes, will provide accurate diagnoses. To that end, they aim to collect 10,000 'aaah' vocal sounds. Those with and without Parkinson's are encouraged to participate – visit their website to record your 'aaah' to help with this project (currently for Android phone users only).
While the results of the lab tests are encouraging, recordings in non-lab environments will be trickier to accurately analyze. For instance, factors such as background noise and personal behaviors cannot be controlled.
However, if they succeed, we will have a fast, very inexpensive, accessible method to test ourselves at home.
Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment.
Unsurprisingly, subtle changes in voice and language can appear years before the appearance of the typical symptoms of Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. Both conditions can impact speech in a slew of ways. For instance, patients may speak slowly, repeat words, frequently use filler sounds (for example, um, er), and may be incoherent.
In one study, published in 2016, an analysis of vocal samples allowed researchers to accurately identify patients with Alzheimer's disease in 81% of subjects.
Because there are so many voice features that change with Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment, screening for vocal biomarkers could potentially become a simple, noninvasive method for early diagnosis.
Multiple Sclerosis.
Unfortunately, patients with multiple sclerosis often struggle with voice impairment and dysarthria. (Dysarthria is when the muscles that produce speech are damaged, paralyzed, or weakened, making it hard to control the tongue or voice box, sometimes leading to slurred speech). Experts believe vocal screenings could be used to diagnose patients, monitor disease progression, and make treatment decisions.
Coronary Artery Disease.
Interestingly, researchers at the Mayo Clinic identified several vocal features associated with a history of coronary artery disease. Building on that knowledge, Mayo Clinic researchers recently tested their algorithm for vocal biomarkers related to coronary artery disease.
Excitingly, their findings, published in 2022, showed their AI accurately predicted which patients were more likely to have clogged arteries that led to further heart problems.
For this study, researchers analyzed voice recordings taken with a smartphone app to predict the risk for coronary artery disease. After several years, those who had a high vocal biomarker score were more likely to have severe chest pain or heart issues that led to hospital or ER visits. Additionally, this group was also more likely to have a positive stress test. And they were more likely to have coronary artery blockage found during follow-up testing.
Similarly, a study in Israel, published in 2020, found high vocal biomarkers were associated with adverse outcomes (including increased risk of death) for patients with congestive heart failure.
Although it's early in the process, AI voice analysis technology may provide a low-cost, noninvasive tool to easily predict heart disease.
Researchers identified differences in vocal characteristics in people with and without type 2 diabetes. Additionally, people with type 2 diabetes who have poor glycemic control or neuropathy have more vocal straining, voice weakness, and a different voice grade.
In a 2020 report, researchers demonstrate an association between voice signals and blood glucose levels. They state vocal biomarkers could provide a non-invasive tool for diabetics to check daily blood glucose levels. Additionally, they suggest vocal biomarker screening could identify people with prediabetes or those at risk of developing diabetes.
Mental health.
Interestingly, it's possible that mental health issues could be diagnosed and/or monitored with vocal biomarkers as well.
PTSD.
For instance, from analyzing speech patterns, researchers were able to identify PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) in 89% of subjects. The study, published in 2019, found the probability of PTSD was higher for certain vocal biomarkers, including slower, more monotonous speech. Interestingly, they found that depression symptoms, alcohol use disorder, and traumatic brain injury had an insignificant influence on the outcome.
Schizophrenia and bipolar disorders.
Since there are well established changes in voice and facial expressions among those with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and bipolar disorders, identifying these changes could help doctors diagnose patients. Interestingly, a study published in 2022, researchers accurately identified symptoms of these disorders by analyzing voice and facial expressions.
In general, they found that moving the cheek-raising and chin-raising muscles were the strongest predictors for men. In contrast, it was voice features that were the most common indicators for women.
Importantly, the ability to accurately identify symptoms can provide a more objective method to diagnose these conditions. Currently, doctors must rely on patient reports of symptoms, which can be inaccurate. Importantly, this technology, still in its early stage, can also help doctors monitor progress overtime to help them determine treatment protocols.
Clinical depression.
When people experience clinically depression, their speech becomes lower, more monotone, more labored, with more stops, starts, and pauses. Furthermore, as depression worsens, speech becomes more gravelly, hoarse, and less fluent. Interestingly, a study published in 2007 found that speech samples obtained over the phone correlated significantly with depression severity.
One start-up is making progress on diagnosing diseases by voice analysis.
Start-up Novoic is developing AI algorithms to detect neurological diseases by analyzing people's speech. Interestingly, patients will use their app to record a few minutes of speech. Novoic's app will then analyze the speech using their algorithm and quickly report the results to doctors.
Currently, they are validating their concept and applying for regulatory clearance to use their technology for screening for cognitive disorders. Additionally, they are in various stages of evaluating the technology to screen for Alzheimer's, mood disorders, and motor disorders.
When will doctors start diagnosing diseases by voice analysis?
Importantly, right now, neither the US Food and Drug Administration nor the European Medicines Agency have approved any vocal biomarkers.
As with other medical innovations, identifying a vocal biomarker is just the first step towards widespread use. In addition to the normal challenges associated with medical innovations, vocal biomarkers come with additional challenges. For instance, developers must address the issue of accents and foreign languages. Additionally, currently there are no standards for collecting vocal biomarker samples and creating repositories for clinical use.
Once a company develops an algorithm, they must create a user-friendly interface (for example, a phone app, medical device connector, etc.). Next, there must conduct a feasibility study, one or more clinical trials, and real-world studies. All of this can take a considerable amount of time, so don't expect to see this technology soon!
The future may bring an addition of video analysis.
Experts surmise the future will bring an addition of visual analysis by video, in combination with vocal pattern analysis to diagnose diseases. Interestingly, using visual images will help identify emotions and other health characteristics, making it easier to diagnose and monitor patients.

Did you know that Solanum mammosum is commonly used in building Chinese New Year trees due to it's auspicious golden coloured fruit?
Cow's Udder ( Solanum mammosum)
Solanum mammosum is commonly known as Nipplefruit, Titty Fruit, Cow's Udder, or, ambiguously, "Apple of Sodom". It is an annual to perennial plant in the Solanaceae family, part of the Solanum or nightshade genus, and a relative of the tomato and potato. This unusual plant has a fruit that upon first glance looks like a balloon inflated to appear like the udder of a cow. This poisonous fruit is native to South America, but has been naturalized in the Greater Antilles, Central America and Caribbean.
Small shrubby perennial that can be grown as an annual.Large velvety leaves have purple veins and furry hair, along with prominent spikes. The branches and stems are also dotted with firm thorns. Bushy shrub to 3-6ft. The pink-purple flowers develop during spring and are followed by the waxy, yellow colored fruit ripening a few months later. Fruits are fleshy, poisonous, and contain numerous brownish-red seeds in them.
The plant is grown for ornamental purposes, in part because of the distal end of the fruit's resemblance to a human breast, while the proximal end looks like a cow's udder. The plant also has a few medicinal properties. It is reputed to have medicinal use in various treatments, from athlete's foot to irritability and restlessness, and is sometimes used as a detergent.The juice of the fruit shows some detergent activity and can be used for washing clothing. Before soap was common in villages of South and Central America, the juice was used as a detergent to wash clothes. Farmers in Central America have experiemented with it as an alternative insecticide, especially for leaf cutter ants. It is imported to Taiwan and Hong Kong as decorative foliage for use in religious and festival floral arrangements. They are commonly used in building Chinese New Year trees due to their auspicious golden coloured fruit.
All parts of the plant are poisonous. However, it is regarded as a very auspicious plant for the Lunar New Year season. The secret is in the fruits that are pear shaped and has 5 protrusions. These protrusions look like teats or nipples but we like to call it 'fingers' which in Cantonese sounds like 'ji', meaning sons. In Chinese culture it is known as five fingered eggplant. In Japan it is known as Fox Face.
Fruiting branches can be used in tropical cut flower arrangements and for Ikebana arrangements.
