An embarrassment of riches does not quite adequately sum up the holdings of this venerable Burgundy house. Nor does the term 'phoenix from the flames' quite encapsulate the remarkable turnaround in quality in production here in recent times. There have been many success stories in the Burgundy region amongst the grand 'Maisons' in the last decade or so but the ascent across 4 separate estates, presided over by Alberic Bichot, must surely be the greatest of all of these. Heading the 6th generation of family wine production, the breakthroughs have occurred from Chablis to the Cote Chalonais taking in the magical Cote D'Or along the way.
The award-winning Secret de famille range is superb for the price and a perfect addition to your list. The Chardonnay is elegant and refined with aromas of pineapple and melon plus toasted aromas. The palate is fresh and richly textured, with good integration of oak. The Pinot Noir is velvety and silky with a soft and well-balanced structure with delicate blackcurrant and wild red fruit flavours. Great-value Bourgognes that are not to be missed!

In recent weeks I have felt a strong association with Jeremiah and his response to God's call upon his life. He said, (Jeremiah 1:6) "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child."
To which God replies (Jeremiah 1:7), "Do not say 'I am only a child.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you."
He doesn't leave it there but encourages Jeremiah to have courage saying "Do not be afraid" and He promises to be with Jeremiah.
It's a similar story to how Gideon responds when God selects him as the man for the moment. Gideon 6:14-16
Lord: …"Go in the strength you have…"
Gideon: "But Lord, how can I…?"
Lord: "I will be with you…"
I have found myself translating those responses into my life. God asks something of me and I respond with "Yes" and then, "I can't! I can't! I can't! I do not know how to."
Off the back of saying "Yes", as I start to try to answer the "But how can I…?" question in my own head, anxiety overwhelms me. Anxiety clouds over God and shuts Him out. Through the mist, I hear God encouraging me to have courage.
Where is courage found?
Courage is found in the command "Go in the strength that you have…". He is saying to go with what you've got and do your best.
Courage is found in God's reply, "I am with you."
Courage is found in the friends who come beside you and say and pray "You can do it".
Courage is found in the promise that "No one whose hope is in you (GOD) will ever be put to shame". (Psalm 25:3)
Courage is found in the knowledge that God hears and answers prayer. (Psalm 21:2 + 4)
Courage is found in the determination to be steadfast. (Psalm 57:7)
Courage is found in not listening to fear and remembering God's protection. (Psalm 3:2-3)
Courage is found in looking to God alone.
Courage is found in remembering that God asked you to do it.
Courage is found in recognising that God gives you the ability to do what He asks and that is a gift.
Courage is found in the knowledge that a gift is to be enjoyed.
Courage is found in keeping the right perspective on our purpose and existence. (Psalm 73:23-26)
Courage is found when we stop doubting, recognise anxiety as sin, repent and trust instead.
So next week when I play Handel, The Bach Double and an Aria from St Matthew\'s Passion having not performed in such a context for 15 years, I do it for God alone with the courage He has taught me. I am no longer a child. I will go with the strength I have, believing that He is with me and that He will speak to people's hearts through the music.
I will go out with joy and be led forth and peace…(Isaiah 55:12)

The Honda CRF450RW is the works machine developed by Team HRC's engineers and the technical might of Honda Racing Corporation and Honda's R&D department in Japan. It's a masterpiece of engineering efficiency and performance, and the 2019 bike is the latest evolution of the 2016 World Championship-winning machine, based upon the all-new-for-2017 CRF450RW.
Development moved as fast as the bike's pace on track in 2014 when HRC returned to MXGP as a factory effort, and five race victories ensued, four of those coming as the season drew to its close. With an intensive programme of further development over the winter, the 2015 bike proved to be a winner again, and finished second and third in the world. In 2016, HRC's three-year plan was realised when Tim Gajser took his CRF450RW to the World Championship title – Honda's first in 16 years. At the end of the 2016 season, the all-new 2017 CRF450RW was also debuted, first by Evgeny Bobryshev at the final two rounds of the season, and then also by Gajser at the SMX Riders' Cup where he took the new bike's first moto win.
In the 2017 MXGP season, Tim Gajser continued the new machine's success with eight moto victories, including overall Grand Prix wins in Argentina, Mexico and Sweden, and he and teammate Evgeny Bobryshev scored nine podiums throughout the season.
The lightest stock machine in its class, it carries these characteristics into motocross race trim following Honda's ethos of mass centralisation, combining light weight and effortless manoeuvrability with useable power delivery. Its slim proportions feature finely tuned aerodynamics and a low centre of gravity for greater control in the air.
The factory versions of the machine are shod with Pirelli tyres and Showa's SFF Air TAC suspension, and a number of custom performance parts such as billet titanium footpegs, titanium bolts to reduce weight, factory-spec cylinder head and camshaft, and custom US-Yoshimura exhausts.
The Honda CRF has remarkable motorsport lineage and is a force to be reckoned with across all off-road disciplines.
In the MX2 category of the FIM Motocross World Championship, Gajser took the first of his back-to-back titles in 2015 on his CRF250RW, followed by the MXGP title on the 2016 CRF450RW, marking a motocross milestone for Honda and HRC. Mathys Boisrame also rode his Honda CRF250RW to victory in the 2018 EMX250 championship, collecting numerous race wins, overalls and holeshots in what was a highly successful championship for the French rider who now steps up to the MX2 class for 2019.
In the Dakar rally, the new Honda CRF450 RALLY has been delivering remarkable performances since 2014, and has taken stage wins and led the infamous event in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. In the Enduro World Championship, Redmoto's campaign is successfully building upon past successes such as Alex Salvini's 2013 World Championship title aboard his CRF450R, Giacomo Redondi's EJ World Championship crown in 2016 and Davide Soreca's second place in the EJ World Championship in 2017.

The Autumns Fake Noise From a Box of Toys
Published Apr 15, 2008Already conquering the British press, the equal parts math and dance rock mongers known as the Autumns will be hungrily gobbled up once their latest offering, Fake Noise, ventures onto North American soil. Although the band are based in L.A., they scored a deal with the UKs Bella Union (the Dears, Explosions in the Sky) and listening to their glorious sixth album leaves no question as to why. Sparkling with influences from all across the musical spectrum, at any given moment you can hear vibrant, Queen-like polyphony or eloquent Death Cab for Cutie-esque simplicity in the soft vocals. From beginning to end, the Autumns continue to impress with their stash of unique tunes. "Uncle Slim captures their schizophrenic nature as they easily switch between cute "la-dee-dahs and loud, crashing rock. Vocalist Matthew Kelley sounds like Morrissey doing a Shins cover on the catchy "Only Young. They have managed to find a medium where succulent dream pop collides with fast and racy indie rock. Usually sitting on the fence between the two distinct genres makes for a confusing and frustrating sound but in the case of the Autumns, they comfortably straddle the fence and have mastered the balance so well that its finally paying off. (Bella Union)

A post by Subject Liaison Librarian Joanne McPhie.
The London Underground might be one of the most egalitarian modes of transport available, where everyone can tour London as long as they can crowd into the carriage. However, some items housed in Brunel Special Collections shed a light on an occasion when the tube was by appointment only.
On the day of the Queen's coronation on the 2nd June, 1953, tens of thousands of people wanted to get to Westminster to witness the event. Well-wishers lined the route her carriage would take with an estimated 3 million eventually attending. In order to ensure distinguished guests, peers and civic dignitaries would be present, specially scheduled trains ran to transport them to the ceremony without interference from the masses. In the Transport History Collection some of the original tickets from these trains are preserved.
Hierarchies were upheld even on the Underground with blue tickets granting entrance to the Peers only train, while orange tickets were good enough for the civic dignitaries. Obviously, even on this special day London Transport did not want to miss out on revenue as fares of 10d and 6d are still listed on the ticket, begging the question of what special treatment the Peers enjoyed for the extra 4d. Passengers would have had to get up early in the morning: tickets detail that trains left High Street Kensington at 7.15am, while those boarding at Mansion House had the even earlier time of 6.52am. These special one off routes were not available to everyone and in fact Westminster Station itself was closed to the public until after the ceremony.
These small pieces of history are only a tiny part of the organisation of a much larger day, but reveal much about the mind-set and mores of mid-20th century British culture.

Do Likeable Characters Help Make Better Books?

YA Book Review – Naliyah by Shauna Kelley
So, I have finally made a start on 'sponsored' books, in other words books sent to me by the author for free in return for an honest review.

Archives Aflame: Voices from World War II Pacific Engagement
This grant supports the project a staged reading of veterans' stories and an Artists' Talk for the project "Archives Aflame: Voices from World War II Pacific Engagement." The project was born from the experience of Kei Ito and Andrew Paul Keiper is the result of the intersection in the lives two randomly selected college roommates. This project is a multi-media exhibition featuring a large-scale visual and sound installation that probes the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and the artists' intertwined family histories. Ito's grandfather witnessed the explosion that killed his family, while Keiper's grandfather was an engineer who contributed to the effort to develop the bomb. Their collaboration grapples with this history while asserting its pertinence to a contemporary audience living in an increasingly unstable political landscape.

Construction underway on "Heroic" Arboretum Stream Restoration
By Brooke Covington ('13), ('15M)
In the wake of two successful stream restoration projects in the last five years, a third restoration project in the Edith J. Carrier Arboretum has begun.
The initial two projects restored 3,000 linear feet of stream channel on the JMU campus. The current project will restore 1,000 feet of linear stream in the arboretum to stabilize the eroding channel, improve aquatic habitat and reduce the amount of nutrients and sediments being transported to the Chesapeake Bay.
Initial Phases
The first phases of the project began after the Center for Watershed Protection conducted a storm water retrofit study in 2013 to assess and rank over 30 public land sites based on opportunities to reduce pollutants and improve storm water management and quality. Of those sites, JMU's Arboretum ranked number one, gaining heroic status on the list. Estimates indicate the restoration project will reduce the Chesapeake Bay pollutants of concerns by more than twice as much as any of the other public land sites and at less than half of the cost.
According to JMU's Energy Conservation and Sustainability Manager Abe Kaufman, the Arboretum stream restoration gained momentum quickly. "We knew the Arboretum stream was in need of restoration," said Kaufman. "But once we realized just how impactful this project would be, we partnered with design firm Ecosystem Services who helped us to locate grant funding and design the project."
With the help of Ecosystem Services and the Central Shenandoah Planning District Commission, JMU applied for and received two grants from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation—a $40,000 grant for the project design and a $200,000 grant for the actual restoration construction. In addition to these grants, JMU has also contributed $100,000 to help support the initiative. Once funded, Ecosystem Services launched the design phase in late 2014
After the design phase was completed in early 2015, construction plans for restoring the degraded urban stream channel began to take shape. Stormwater Coordinator Dale Chestnut explained, "Over time the stream channel has been straightened to maximize developable land, but this has caused the stream to become entrenched and destabilized—it is no longer natural, which has caused severe erosion and increased pollutant loads." Establishing a meandering stream pattern and making the stream level with the floodplain, Chestnut said, will improve water quality by reducing excess nutrients from pouring into neighboring Blacks Run and Cooks Creek watersheds, both of which filter back into the Chesapeake Bay.
Unfortunately, a number of trees must be removed from the Arboretum to make way for the heavy equipment needed to perform the restoration. "We are saddened by the fact that we must remove some trees," said Kaufman. "But once the stream has been completed, we will replant trees and native vegetation, ultimately leaving the site in much better condition."
Restoration plans also call for establishing a riparian buffer and creating wetland areas adjacent to the stream, which will improve water quality by preventing some of the urban runoff from entering the stream channel. A $7,550 grant from the Virginia Department of Forestry will cover much of the new plant material costs.
Currently, the construction phase is expected to last until late fall, with additional long-term post-construction monitoring to ensure that the stream is still functioning as designed.
Education and Outreach
Though better for the environment, this restoration project also offers opportunities for research and educational outreach. From the early design phases, Ecosystem Services and JMU invited Eastern Mennonite University and JMU students to participate and learn about the various on-site engineering design principles of stream restoration. Ecosystem Services co-founder and principal engineer Kip Mumaw explained, "We wanted to include students because the practice of restoration is still evolving and the methods that we are proposing represent important new tools for improving water quality and biological communities. It is extremely important that students in the sciences gain perspective on how practitioners and scientists are working together to tackle ecological problems."
Within the JMU community, both faculty and students will continue to use the Arboretum stream and its surrounding areas as a living laboratory for research studies and field samplings. Moreover, a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation has funded post-restoration water quality monitoring to be completed by ISAT professor Dr. Robert Brent and a team of student interns in the summer and fall of 2015. Providing students with experiential learning opportunities outside of a traditional classroom setting is a staple value of the university. "Restoring the Arboretum stream is an excellent way for students to be engaged in applied science and learn how professionals are conducting restoration projects," said Mumaw. "This type of sustained involvement will hopefully influence their perspective on our responsibility to the environment and our collective impact on aquatic resources."
Reaching beyond the JMU community, permanent informational signage in the Arboretum will educate visitors on the stream restoration and the innovate measures being taken to manage stormwater in the Arboretum. "Ultimately the Arboretum is an educational resource not just for students, but also for other contractors who can visit and learn more about stream restoration projects and constructed wetlands," said Chestnut. "Really, JMU is a great one-stop place for visitors to see innovative technologies at work in the field." Because of that fact, the CSPDC, along with other local project partners, will hold workshops in the Arboretum to train storm water practitioners on the technical methods used to assess streams for potential restoration.
A Sustainable Future
Welcoming over 18,000 visitors each year, the Arboretum is a well-suited place to promote environmental stewardship. As natural resources diminish, the significance of sustainable practices grows—and this stream restoration is just one effort among many that JMU has implemented to facilitate ecological resiliency on campus and in our community.
With hopes of removing the Blacks Run and Cooks Creek watersheds from Virginia's impaired waters list, this restoration is a heroic feat to say the least. But JMU and its project partners are confident that this project, upon completion, will not only enhance the sustainability of this site, but also the instructional value and beauty of our on-campus botanical oasis.

This Week's $70 Menu Plan + Saturday's Kroger Stock-Up Shopping Trip
I'm currently challenging myself to stick with a $70 grocery budget for our family of five. This includes almost all of our breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinners + most household products (toiletries, laundry soap, etc.).
For live updates, be sure to follow my Instagram Stories. See all posts on my $70 Grocery Budget here.

I had every intention of getting these Southwest Rollups done for Friday's Freezer Cooking post. But alas I productively procrastinated on them and didn't get them done before I had to get that post done.
But I did get them done! We had one pan for dinner that night and I put two bags of rollups in the freezer.
This is such a simple, frugal, and delicious recipe that we have loved for YEARS.
In fact, it would be fascinating to see how many of these I have made over the years. It's probably an insane number! 🙂
Fun fact: This was a recipe that Jesse's family loved and I love that it's become one of our family favorites. These make such great quick lunches or snacks!
The freezer is filling up!! We currently have 9 dinners, 3 breakfasts, and 2 desserts in there. I'm aiming to have 30 meals in here by the end of June. We'll see!
Kroger has been having fantastic Saturday only sales in recent weeks.
I was thrilled with the butter and water sale — two items that we use a lot!
You could buy up to 5 packs of butter for $1.99 each with the digital coupon — so, of course, I bought 5! We will stick these in the freezer and they should hopefully last us for two months (we usually use about 2 to 2 1/2 sticks of butter per week).
And I bought 3 cases of water — I found out later that the 32-packs were included in this sale. But they weren't marked as such at our store, so oh well! We usually wash and re-use water bottles at least a few times before tossing them so this should (hopefully) last us all summer and will be so handy for time at the pool and road trips and other summer adventures!
Kroger Shopping Trip — $28.47
- 5 packages of Kroger butter — $1.99 each with Saturday Digital Coupon offer
- 3 cases of water — $1.99 each with Saturday Digital Coupon offer
- 1 Larabar — FREE Friday Digital coupon offer
- Chocolate syrup — $1.59
- Disposable bowls — $2
- 1 yogurt — marked down to $0.29
- 2 Fage yogurts — marked down to $0.49 each (got $0.75 back per yogurt — Ibotta rebate)
- 2 bags of apples — marked down to $0.99 each
- 12 ears of corn — 4 for $0.99 each
- 1 organic cauliflower — $0.99 each
- Total with tax: $28.47
We had our Community Group (four other families) over for an Ice Cream Social. We provided bowls, cups, napkins, and spoons and chocolate syrup and cookies. Two families brought toppings and two families brought ice cream and we had a great get-together that was super simple and inexpensive for everyone!
Silas made some Homemade Oobleck last night and the kids had so much fun playing with it. This would be a great frugal fun activity for summer.
This morning, Silas and I made Homemade Pizza Dough on Facebook Live. I had planned to make a double batch and freeze half of it, but I realized that we were getting down the bottom of the flour jar. So we just made one pizza crust.
This boy loves helping me in the kitchen — and he just better and better at cooking and baking!
I hadn't made dough on our new kitchen table until today. I wasn't sure how it would clean up, but I'm so happy to say that it wiped right off. I continue be so happy that we chose this table for our kitchen. I just love how sturdy it is and how easily it cleans up!
Silas helped me knead the dough and I taught him what dough should feel like when it's ready.
We couldn't find our pizza pan and I'm guessing that somehow it disappeared in the move or that Kaitlynn may have confiscated it for some craft project and I just haven't discovered it yet (she's always making all sorts of crafts and projects and I try to encourage it as much as possible, thought I do sometimes have to tell her that my kitchen pans aren't up for grabs — especially if they are going to get destroyed in the process of her experimentation! ;))
Silas made the pizza entirely by himself — from rolling out the dough, to putting on the sauce, to thawing the chicken from the freezer, to grating the cheese, to pre-heating the oven.
I only had to give a tiny bit of coaching! I am so excited with just how capable my kids are becoming and how much all those years of letting them help me in the kitchen had paid off!
Silas' finished pizza! This will be our dinner tonight. Yum!
You can watch us make the Pizza Dough live in the video above.

I know I have said this before but I am LOVING these posts. So so cute how Silas helps you in the kitchen. My youngest also loves to help and I hope she will become a better helper as she gets older. Thank you for sharing these sweet moments.
We recently purchased S'well bottles for the entire family and, although it's been a huge change, we are so happy to have made the switch. No more buying cases of water! The initial cost was a shock but the water stays super cold for an entire day. We each have a small bottle ( to throw into bag or purse) and a larger bottle for sports/ work/ etc.
I love these new posts for your grocery budget. So now I know this kind of budget is doable. The freezer meals are such a great idea. I am commenting because I wanted to brag that the Kroger butter at my store was .99 cents on Saturday. Score! But I noticed you get way better markdowns than what our store gives. Please keep sharing money saving mom!
Same here… at our local store we had the same deal on bottled water, but for 35 packs! I bought 5 which will last all summer for sport practices, boating, and vacation (we bring own water as don't like taste of local water). LOVE the grocery store deals.
I purchased the butter also for $1.99 as I will bake a lot now that rhubarb ready for picking.
Thanks I will try the tortilla recipe maybe w refried beans
Your adorable and your real! We are empty nesters, our son is married, but we have grandma. So I am always looking to be thrifty. Your posts make me happy. I remember being where your at. I wasnt as good as you, I guess it's never too late to try, right? Keep on doing what your doing. I and many are enjoying your tips and recipes! Best to you and family
Wouldn't buying reusable water bottles be more economical than buying plastic water bottles? It saddens me that all that plastic will be sitting in a landfill somewhere.
I'm just curious to know why you don't use reusable water bottles instead of buying disposable water bottles? It would be more frugal in the long run, and so much better for the environment!
Sometimes you just need a bottle of water, yeesh! No judgements from me! We have reusable bottles, but we also buy plastic ones to have on hand for convenience!
Love the pizza video! So cute!!!
I joined Ibotta a long time ago and never used it. The past couple of weeks I've been at least doing the "any purchase" ones. It also gave me credit on my marked down strawberries the other day and I was very happy with that. Has anyone found an easy way to keep up with what offers are there? Like the yogurt. You got it marked down so it was really free after rebate.
I usually get the Saturday specials at Kroger, but somehow I missed the water deal! I'll have to be more alert because I hate missing the good deals.
Sometimes I look at these kind of posts and want to cry. I live in a small town in Alaska (with one and half stores) and I went shopping today. I spent 25.18 on two organic tomatoes, one org. califlower, one bunch of org. chard, 1.3 lbs of grass fed beef, and one box of frozen fruit bars (do not normally buy). That includes .97 cents tax. Sigh. We pay for the beauty here=-)
Where did you get your table? Thank you and God Bless, Kelly
Oooh I'm inspired to make pizza tomorrow night now! 🙂 And how did I not know you could save Oobleck?!?! I always have my kids dump it out once they're done haha! Maybe it's the gross factor.
I gotta know though- was the organic cauliflower marked down??? Because that's a STEAL!!
I am SO grateful for your returning to this type of series! I am a longtime reader and missed these types of posts. They areIt so encouraging and motivating. It given me wh exact push I needed to return to a budget that works best for my family. Thank you!!! (Although I am incredibly grateful, I know everyone is in different seasons so please know I don't hope or expect you to continue with the $70 budget any longer than works for you.).
Thank you so much for sharing your weekly grocery trips! It is very inspiring. I love the photos as well!
Enjoying these posts and the grocery shopping posts! Thanks!
Would you mind sharing where you got the two striped T-shirt tops that you are wearing in the last couple of videos? They are really cute!
Crystal, I so enjoy these posts – thank you! This may sound silly to some but I'm sharing in the event it may help one person. Last year I was absolutely DONE with cooking dinners. I work full time, someone inevitably wasn't hungry/didn't want what I had prepared. Then there was cleanup after all the work cooking dinner.
Anyway, I ended up hiring someone to cook a few meals a week for us so we'd still have "homecooked" meals at home but I wasn't doing it and cleanup was easy. The individual wasn't available for awhile and it was during a particularly busy season so I went back to meals I grew up eating – tacos, spaghetti, breakfast for dinner, etc.
I had a realization that I had been majorly over-complicating dinners. I felt like there had to be a main with 2 – 3 sides and everything had to be nutritionally balanced just so. Once I simplified things, the family enjoyed the meals just as much (more in some cases), I was less stressed, there were fewer wasted ingredients, and everyone seemed more relaxed.
All that to say, I've seen some of the rude comments you occasionally get on your posts. Not that my opinion or anyone else's matters but I think you're doing a great job! I appreciate the simplicity of your meals. You still have fruits and veggies and protein and you have more time to spend with your family! So, thank you. 🙂
There is nothing better than having your child fix dinner! It is such a blessing.
My son tends to be a bit more of an adventurous eater than his mother so he chooses recipes that I've been skeptical about and they've turned out really great.
One thing he makes for himself that I will not try is a fried egg on a burger. Ick. I don't like fried eggs next to a pile of bacon. No way am I going to try one on a burger. I don't care how childish I sound!
My husband loves fried eggs on burgers. It's his favorite to get at a local burger place. I won't eat fried eggs on their own so I'm certainly not pairing it with a burger – ha!
We also have friends who fell in love with fried egg on pizza while in Europe. To each their own. 😉
Do you stock your freezer with meals before you start eating them? You mentioned you wanted to have it stocked with 30 meals by the end of June. If you meet your goal is that when you will start using those meals. Just curious
A long time reader here who enjoys reading your posts! Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas, shopping trips and menus with us!
I bought my adult children Zero water pitchers and filters and they were shocked what was in their bottled water! These pitchers are a healthier alternative to bottled water and take advantage of something You already pay for, water!

Emirati love songs discuss matters of the heart in the classy way
How the music and lyrics accompanying romantic Emirati tunes transcend the words 'I love you'
If you have lived in the UAE for some time, you would be forgiven for assuming that the only local aspect of the annual Valentine's Day weekend is the ludicrously elaborate hotel packages on offer – ranging from helicopter rides to string quartets playing the soundtrack to a romantic meal.
If you visited the malls this week, your ears would have been assaulted with so many cheesy western ballads, but you would be right in thinking the love song also plays a part in Emirati culture.
Fortunately, the Emirati love ballad is in rude health at the moment – and it can and has been done with more class.
There hasn't been a weekend lately when my regular winter stroll down the Abu Dhabi Corniche hasn't in part been accompanied by the bluesy oud tones of Shafaqat Bareq Lelah pumping out of the speakers of cars driven by young Emiratis.
The track – released by the enigmatic local music icon Mehad Hamad – is a bewitching blend of traditional folk and blues, and the mystery is augmented by the grizzled vocals of the popular 54-year-old singer from Sharjah.
In typical Mehad fashion, the track has several meanings. Friends of mine have suggested it is a vignette of historical desert life in the UAE. I have always viewed it as a love letter to love itself.
When Mehad discusses Shafaqat Barq Lelah, which is loosely translated as "blistering lightning", he is discussing being struck by Cupid's arrow and how love "is the medicine for the wounded" and how "it is a house enshrined in light".
Released four years ago as part of the album Ma Tardini Hudud (I Don't Have Limits), the normally low-key Hamad allowed me a rare interview to discuss the project. To be honest, it wasn't an illuminating as I had hoped – Hamad is not one to explain the finer details of his work.
Perhaps sensing my helpless look, he gave me this morsel of insight: "The words come first. These songs, I work really hard on what I want to say to the people. The music part is easy once I know what I want to say."
That is one of the defining hallmarks of Emirati love songs. The lyrics are well thought through and full of metaphors. There is rarely any of the throwaway and soapy lyricism associated with its regional and western counterparts. Writing and singing about emotions have always been considered a serious endeavour and given due respect. There is no greater example of that than the song In Hawaituna (roughly translated to If You Love Us) that's sung by Emirati pop king Hussain Al Jassmi using lyrics written by none other than
the country's Founding Father, Sheikh Zayed.
"It's a song that does mean a lot to us still today," Emirati singer-songwriter Omar Al Marzooqi tells me.
"The lyrics here are important, Sheikh Zayed wrote words that say: 'If you love us, we will love you, we will miss you and we cannot stay too long without you'. It has different levels of course, a general love and a love for the country itself."
Not every Emirati love song operates on such lofty ideals. They are also a useful avenue to discuss some of the topics affecting the current generation. And, when it comes to the matters of the heart, young Emirati guys – like most of us men – are finding this romance business tough stuff.
Marzooqi's star is on the rise on account of his brilliantly catchy single Jan Jonouni (You Are Making Me Crazy), which has already clocked up more than a million views on YouTube since its release in late 2016.
He joins fellow Emirati singer Aidah Al Manhaly, who last year released his popular single Mitsaweh. He views love as craze-inducing.
Where the latter discusses the ways love made Al Manhaly lose his bearings and perspective, Al Marzooqi is more direct, saying the love interest in question in Jan Jonouni has made him lose his marbles.

Abu Dhabi street cricket evokes a deluge of memories
How VAT has revolutionised my own Abu Dhabi neighbourhood
"This is not based on my personal situation," he says, chuckling. "But it was born out of many conversations I have had with friends and the experiences of young Emiratis who felt this way when they felt love
for someone."
This mix of socially aware lyricism and sturdy rhythms will largely preserve Emirati romantic tunes from falling into shopping mall muzak.
These tunes also provide a useful reminder that love shouldn't be celebrated just one day a year. Instead, it should be acknowledged for its daily gifts of insight, even if it does drives you around the twist at times.

PSA systems
A correct designed oxygen supply is crucial for a stable ozone production. By installing a PSA system, you are guaranteed a constant, reliable source of oxygen directly at your point of use. It makes you independent from bulk or cylinder supply.
A PSA system (Pressure Swing Adsorption) is using two pressurized columns with molecular sieves to ensure continuous production.
Primozone has co-operation with the world leading manufactures of PSA system. Get in contact with your local Primozone representative to discuss the optimal solution for your application.
Primozone offers a wide range of instrumentation to ensure that the process is operating as planned and with the treatment results that it was designed for. All instruments provided by Primozone has be used in numerous of application world-wide and comes from the leaders in the industry, such as BMT, Prominent and Hach. Some common instruments are:
- Ozone Concentration Meter
- Dissolved Ozone in Water
- Water flow
- Gas flow
- Dew Point
- Oxygen concentration
Safety / Alarm
Ensure safety in all working environments with the use gas detection systems, detectors, monitors and alarms. The release of ozone gas, oxygen deficiency or enrichment can be monitored with help of different gas detectors. When detected at an early stage, alarms and shutdown procedures can be implemented to protect both personnel and plant equipment.
Primozone works close with two of the world leading companies in this field. Get in contact with your local Primozone representative to discuss the optimal solution for your application.
It is important to understand that it is the risk assessment of the plant / application that will decide how your safety system should be configured and designed and therefore the scope of supply in a budgetary quotation can differ from the final solution.
Active chillers
In applications or locations in which it is hard to get cooling water an active chiller is a very reliable solution. In over a decade Primozone has been using the LAUDA Ultracool chillers to provide reliable temperature control and ensure secure processing. The Superplus (SP) models are plug & operate systems equipped with a cold water tank, a centrifugal pump and an internal bypass. All chillers are already equipped with an antifreeze protection thermostat to prevent freezing of the heat exchanger. Integrated pressure switches protect the circuit against pressure levels that drift too high or too low. The Lauda SP works with a reciprocating compressor and a centrifugal pump. The pump is noise reduced and works with a very flat flow rate/pressure characteristic. This allows the user to easily adjust the water flow without affecting the pressure.
Note: the cooling water temperature will affect the produced amount of ozone. Calculation is offered upon request and details of the local conditions.

Gone are those days when we were dependent on desktops and LAN internet. Today our desktops have been replaced by laptops, tablets, and even smartphones. Wi-Fi and lowered data prices have made internet available at your fingertips. You can literally connect anywhere in the world in no time today. Around 69.2 percent of the world's population were using mobile phones in 2016. The number of mobile phone users in the world is expected to cross 5 billion in 2019.
All this technological advancement has opened new doors for entrepreneurs and business owners. This new world of opportunities also comes with new competition. With every big and small brand having their website today. The major fight today is to get to the top of the search results. As the number of websites is increasing, Google and other search engines are also updating their algorithms regularly. Since 2015 Google have added mobile adaptability or responsiveness of a website to its criteria for ranking websites.
Imagine a desktop site with the font you can read easily on the desktop opens with the same font size on your phone. Will you be able to read it? Or would you even like to spend time on that website adjusting its font? Or would you just visit another responsive website with the same information? Responsive web design is the website design which adapts to different devices and screen sizes on its own.
Google or other search engine statistics says that mobile search has surpassed the number of searches made on desktops. Also, mobile marketing or social media marketing is increasing day by day. Hence, if your website is not compatible with different devices of different screen sizes. Then Google will automatically degrade the ranking of your website. Google scans the loading time of your website and other content-related information. All this data is then used to rank your website on the search engines. Google is basically striving hard to give its customers the best results. Search engines also want to provide the best services to their users. It understands all the likes and dislikes of the users and keeps on updating its ranking algorithm accordingly.
Here are a few reasons why you must make your website mobile adaptive or responsive web design.
1. An increasing number of mobile users:
As stated above the number of mobile phone users is expected to cross 5 billion in 2019. Almost 70 percent of the world's population has mobile phones these days. Also, we must not forget that mobile phones are not just used as phones these days. Smartphones today are used for almost everything you can do on the desktop. A recent survey has shown that around 20 percent of searches are being performed on mobile phones. Apart from this almost 60 percent of people use both desktop and phone to search or access any website.
"Read Also: Top 5 Ways In Which Web Design Impacts Customer Experience"
Today, people use desktops only when they are working for an official purpose. Most of the people access shopping or consumer sites in their leisure time on their smartphones only. Also, because phones are handy and easy to use anytime and anywhere. Even the census has recorded increasing traffic on consumer sites from mobile phones. Hence, if your website is not responsive to mobile phones, then users might not stay on your website for long. And what is the purpose of having a website if you don't have visitors on it? Hence, you must work with the advancement of time and work towards making your website responsive.
2. To get a better ranking on search engines:
Search engines are also looking to improve their services and provide the best results to their users. And obviously, users are more likely to use a website that is more adaptable and easy to access on all the devices. Hence, Google and other search engines have included this factor to be considered while ranking the websites. Google gives preference to a responsive website over a regular website. Even if you have two different websites for mobile and desktop, it confuses Google. Google does not keep two copies of the same URL, this might instead degrade your website in ranking. Hence, keeping two websites for your business is not a feasible option. The only option to convince Google that you are a genuine website is that you make it responsive.
Web design is useful in many ways. As it takes up any screen size it is opened on automatically. Moreover, it gives users an amazing and optimal experience as it is easier to navigate. It also makes easier for Google to crawl and keep a track. Hence, you will get a higher ranking for your website on Google. Easy crawling and indexing will also make your promotional campaigns more effective.
3. Convenient to manage:
It doesn't matter if you are a large firm or a small business. Managing a single site is much more convenient than managing two. It also saves you quite a lot of time and money. In any case, handling one website is much easier than handling two websites. Two websites mean double the effort. Any edits you need to make, you will have to update in both the websites. Even if you run a promotional campaign, you will have to run two separate campaigns. It also makes it difficult to keep track of communication with the customers.
If you are a small company and are using platforms like WordPress, Magento, etc. These platforms have predefined formats that are already adaptable to every screen size. If you are a big firm with a dedicated team developing and maintaining your website. Then too, you can get your team to make your website responsive in every way. So it is not very difficult to get a responsive site for your business.
4. Increases Conversions:
Google has reported that around 60 percent of people are using their smartphones to surf for product and services. Hence, if your website is not mobile-friendly then you are most likely to lose these people's attention. It has also been noted that around 67 percent of people are likely to buy your products or services through the phone. Almost 30 percent of total mobile users are already shopping via mobile sites. These statistics clearly show how important it is to have a responsive mobile website for your business.
It is clear that a good mobile website with seamless navigation will attract more customers. As there is a significant increase in the number of people using their mobile devices for shopping. Isn't it interesting how with a small device and with small investment? You can scale up your business to new heights. As with mobile users, social media users are also increasing. Mobile marketing or social media marketing is quite easy to use and affordable too. This is an amazing opportunity for small businesses all over the globe to catch an eye.
What should be your plan of action being a small business owner? How can you make it big online with minimal investment?
Upgrade your website to respond on mobile: You don't need to spend a huge to upgrade your website or even create a new website. As stated earlier, there are a lot of free or low-cost platforms like WordPress, Wix, Shopify, etc. You just need to select a responsive theme out and your job is done. These themes are not even that costly, even a small business can afford it easily.
Testing is must: Loading speed of your website is counted at various points. Hence, it is very important to test your website for its speed. It is very important that your website is responsive and is fast to download. There are various tools available for this purpose to check and fix your website. GTMetrix is one of the most recommended websites for testing. It also shows you the exact areas to be edited.
How Google sees your website: Now that your website is all set to go, you must try to fetch it as Google. You need to check how Google scans and index your website. You need to see that whatever efforts you have taken for your website are working or not.

Manchester club night El Diablo's Social Club have revealed plans for their 15 birthday celebrations, which will take place on Friday 14th September.
Maurice Fulton will join former resident Danny Webb in the main room of the Deaf Institute, while young Manc club night Doodle host the middle floor.
Easily as singular a DJ talent as he is a producer, it's no surprise that Maurice Fulton has been one of El Diablo's most frequent and popular past guests.
Known for blending funk and disco selections alongside modern and classic house, and also for being a dab hand in the studio, Fulton has just released his third LP under his experimental alias Syclops and the first of four collaborative EPs with Róisín Murphy.
Fans may not want to miss the landmark occasion as the brand have few plans beyond this birthday. Originally a collective effort, El Diablos occupied several venues over the last decade and a half and spawned a record label of the same name and re-edit sub label To Rack & Ruin.
Find 15 years of El Diablo's Social Club tickets below.

Enjoying cute company; flowers flowers and more flowers; hayden is always a babe; i miss winter and coats; seeing Harry Potter tomorrow; who can't love ZD.
Hope you are all having a better week than I have! Bit down in the dumps, but hoping for better things to come. I also hate it when you have a thing for someone but they can't just blurt it out, it's times like these mind-reading would be fantastic. I hope I don't get my feelings trampled... I hate falling for someone.xx C

Your body is free but your heart is in prison. To release your heart, you simply reverse the process which locked it up. First you begin to listen for messages from your heart—messages you may have been ignoring since childhood. Next you must take the daring, risky step of expressing your heart in the outside world. . . . As you learn to live by heart, every choice you make will become another way of telling your story. . . . It is the way you were meant to exist. If you stop to listen, you'll realize that your heart has been telling you so all along.
~Martha Beck
Go and live the life you were put on this earth to live, be who you want to be, you have a purpose! Have a beautiful weekend.

I have to admit it is the first time I heard from the band Kooba Tercu. They released a new album through Hominid Sounds, Body Blows Records and Mafia Records.
I've been following Hominid Sounds closely because the bands on the label are always special, they always have a very unique sound. And it is no different with the Greek band Kooba Tercu. They have been described as Exotic Noise Rock, Masters of Hypnotic Rythm and thats very to the point.
On the new album you can hear a hypnotic vibes, heavy noise rock and industrial sounds Again a band that can shift between genre's with ease. Tune in now and buy yourself a copy of 'Kharrub'. Released on April 11.

HMRC have issued a further warning for taxpayers to be on their guard about calls and emails claiming to be from HMRC.
After more than two years of back and forth with Brussels, time is very nearly up on the Brexit negotiations. Britain's exit from the EU is set for the 29th March 2019 - and at the time of writing, still no deal has been struck.
Got that nagging feeling you've forgotten something important? It might just be your 2017/18 tax return - with the deadline for Self Assessment looming on the 31st January 2019.
The season of giving is upon us once more, and lo and behold, at this time of year, even HMRC gets in on the goodwill act.
There are a number of small Christmas tax breaks available to businesses on festive gifts and celebrations,
Recent reports in the press (October 2018), have highlighted the fact that HMRC has only fully tested 23 software products compatible with Making Tax Digital (MTD) due to delays in rolling out the full trial.
There are various reasons why you may have paid more tax than you needed to for a tax year. For example, if you only worked at the start of the year, you may not have received all of your personal allowance.

Reinventing Business Consultancy with Naresh Vissa
I have with me Naresh Vissa and he is the Founder and CEO of Krish Media and Marketing, which is a full service, online and digital media and marketing business consultancy agency and solution provider. They utilize strategies to streamline sales and branding processes. It's got an impressive track record with leading publishers, media firms, institutions like CNN Radio, JP Morgan Chase, EverBank, even the Houston Astros and Gore Publishing. He is also the number one bestselling author of Podcastnomics: The Book Of Podcasting… To Make You Millions and Fifty Shades Of Marketing: Whip Your Business Into Shape & Dominate Your Competition. It's been featured all over USA Today, Yahoo, Bloomberg, MSNBC, I can go on and on. Welcome to the show.
Thanks so much for that kind introduction, Terri.
I want to ask you first how you got into what you're doing and then I want to talk about the book.
I started my career in media and in traditional publishing. That's newspaper, magazine, AM, FM radio and local news television. I did it all. I got experience as an editor, journalist, reporter, director, on-air personality editor and producer. I did it all and then I developed some strong skills that I use today, whether it's using technology, writing stories, writing books or the use of online and digital. I gained those really strong skills. I realized that this career doesn't pay even market salaries anymore. I got interested in business and finance, went to business school, got a Master's degree from one of the top business schools in the country, interned at JP Morgan Chase at the time started a side business and was pretty much set on, "I'm going to become either a management consultant or a banker."
A company found me on LinkedIn. This is a chapter in my book, Fifty Shades of Marketing, about the important role of LinkedIn in marketing yourself professionally. I've got a LinkedIn in 2008 and in 2011 somebody on LinkedIn reached out to me and he said they put it in a few key words. They were looking for somebody who had a media background but who also understood finance. I was one of three or four people who popped up. This company was the largest financial marketing company in the world. They said they were looking for somebody like me to manage a new project they were working on.
Long story short, I ended up consulting for them, graduated and got my Master's, moved, worked for them and started a new media division for them. They were the best online financial marketing company in the world or biggest. That's how I got my foot in the door of eCommerce and online and digital marketing. I was sucked into the space and tried to soak in and learn as much as I could because it was fascinating to me how much money they were making. It was almost like that money ball approach to business where they were just going off of data and having computers do the marketing for them and generating incredible amounts of revenue. That was the genesis of Krish Media and Marketing, my full service online and digital agency and consultancy.
While I was there, I learned that copywriting is, at the end of the day, what generates the highest returns. You brought up the names of my books, Fifty Shades of Marketing, Podcastnomics, those are all examples of copywriting. Copy is advertising text. It is meant to persuade people to take action. In my case, most times that action involves taking out a credit card to buy something in a business sense. That's a little short background about me, how I got involved in online and digital and I'm still incredibly active in the financial space as an online real estate investor. Running any business requires a great deal of financial acumen.
I appreciate hearing your story. You're one of many people that I happen to know that have some connection with LinkedIn in some way, shape or form. I tell people, "Use LinkedIn." LinkedIn is one of the most fascinating platforms for many people to connect with. I am impressed with the names of your books because as soon as I saw the names, I said to myself, "This is a brilliant copywriter," because the names themselves, they're headlines that draw attention and that bring into attention things that people are aware of in society." I agree with you, we need to persuade people to take action. Almost all of our readers, if not all of them, want people to take out a credit card and want them to purchase their products or services. Tell us a little bit about the books.
Before I get to the books, let me piggyback off what you said. When it comes to copywriting, it's not just about our businesses. It's applicable in everyday life. My latest book is about President Trump's rise to become president in 2016. If you look at the principles of copywriting and the way that he or his campaign, whether it was on purpose or not, but the way that they utilize copy to get under people's emotions for better or for worse, it's a major reason why he ended up building a huge support base and being elected president. The book is not much of a political book. It's more about the role of the online digital marketplace and the role that it played in getting President Trump elected and how he utilized certain marketing techniques, branding strategies to essentially come out of nowhere and become president.
The title of that book is called Trumpbook, like Facebook, except it's called Trumpbook. The subtitle is How Digital Liberals Silenced a Nation Into Making America Hate Again. That book has done incredibly well despite being banned surprisingly by some places. Despite that, which did hurt sales a little bit, it's done quite well. What I want to bring up is it's not just our businesses, it's now being used in politics. It always has been used in politics. Even me personally, I'm getting married and I met my fiancé online. Even if you're creating an online dating profile, that's copywriting that you're putting in there. If you're going to fill things out with standard stuff, you're not going to get much attention. If you can make your profile interesting, use the right words, strike the right emotions, then that will only help you in the dating marketplace. The point is that copywriting can be used in all facets of life.
Where can people get your books?
The easiest place is go to Amazon, type in my Naresh Vissa. You can find Fifty Shades of Marketing, Podcastnomics, Trumpbook. I have another one out called The New PR. My goal is one book a year despite all the other projects and businesses that I'm working on. It's something that I enjoyed doing. It goes back to my background in media and journalism. I enjoy doing it. I like sharing whatever pieces of wisdom I have with the world. Sometimes it's completely useless, but in case of Fifty Shades of Marketing, Podcastnomics, The New PR and Trumpbook, they combine to sell probably close to about 15,000 copies. I guess there is some wisdom in some of those books.
What words of wisdom would you want to leave the audience with who are either folks that own their own businesses or aspiring to own their own businesses and all looking for more clients, customers, patients?
For people who are looking to start their own business, I can't stress this enough, and that is become an expert in a niche. Whether that's becoming a regular consultant or starting your own product-oriented business, become an expert in that industry in that area. If you are not an expert in what you're getting involved with, you will not succeed. Learning on the fly is going to be tough, especially if you don't have a good aspect saved up.
The second thing is don't quit your full-time job until you're ready to do it. In my case, I had a full-time job, I had my side business. By the time I left my full-time job, the side business was sustaining myself personally. At the time I was single, I was in my mid-twenties so I had no problems going out on my own. Everyone's situation is different. Don't say, "This guy dropped out of college and started this." When you're 50 years old and have a family of four or five, stay at your full-time job. Once you're confident in your side hustle, you can then transition out of your full-time job into that hustle.If you are not an expert in what you're getting involved with, you will not succeed.. Click To Tweet
For other people who are current business owners, I will say for the newer business owners, I don't recommend that people go into business themselves unless they're a masochist. It's one of those things, "Why would you want to do that to yourself? You can get a regular job and you know how much you're getting paid every two weeks and you know what your hours are like. You can have a regular schedule." When you start your own business, all that goes through the door. You have no idea how much you're going to make one month to the next one, one year to the next year. That doesn't matter whether your business is one year old or 100 years old. That's the way things go. Everyone who worked at Lehman Brothers, Xerox or Polaroid can tell you the same thing. You can be on top of the world one month and then feel you're about to go homeless the next month.
It's not a professional decision. It's a life decision because it affects your personal lives. Of course, professionally, socially, emotionally, spiritually it affects many different areas. If you're just getting into business, understand that there are ups and downs and they're always going to continue. The downs definitely keep you humble, but when you have those ups don't take it for granted because you know how quickly things can change for the worse. That would probably be my advice for business owners or people looking to become business owners.
I want to say thank you for that because everyone that I talked to tell people, "Jump in. Start your own business. Be an entrepreneur," and I share the same advice that you share. Very few people in my world are saying that and the audience needed to hear it. I'm glad you came from truth and honesty there. How can people connect with you and find you?
My website is NareshVissa.com. If people get on my email list there and contact me through my website, I'll send them a free copy of any of the books that I mentioned. We talked about Trumpbook, Fifty Shades of Marketing and Podcastnomics. Tell me which book you want and I will send you a free copy.

I want to thank you. I've got much value from the show. In particular, thank you for being generous and for making an offer of your books. Thank you so much for being here. You've been a delightful guest.
It's been a pleasure, Terri. I look forward to chatting again soon.

All eyes in the Super 7 were on Bo Nix as he took the field for the first of what should be many games at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The Auburn commit came out playing well early to lead Pinson to a 12-3 lead at halftime. Nix was 13/16 for 211 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT at halftime.
Nix, the #1 rated dual threat QB in the country, ended the game going 25/35 for 306 yards with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions, plus 15 carries for 66 yards and a touchdown. Those three touchdowns ended up breaking the all-time touchdown record, giving him 161 in his career between Pinson Valley and Scottsboro.
Saraland actually started the scoring after Pinson fumbled the ball on their first drive. The Spartans went up 3-0 after a 32-yard field goal from Cole Robitzsch.
Nix answered with two touchdowns, one on the ground and one through the air. While up 12-3 under two minutes in the first half, Pinson decided to go for it on 4th and 1 in the red zone and converted on a 1-yard Nix keeper. Then two plays later, Nix threw a pass that bounced off a receivers hand and into the hands of Shawn Byrd from Saraland who returned it all the way to the 39.
Saraland then converted a long pass to set themselves up in good position, but after stalling out at the 22, Robitzsch missed a 39-yard field goal and Pinson took a 12-3 lead into the half.
Pinson Valley received the ball to start the second half. After both teams had drives stall out, Bo Nix threw a costly interception to Shawn Byrd again, and this time, Saraland was able to capitalize on the turnover, with McAlpine leading the drive down the field and eventually scoring on a 3-yard touchdown run to cut Pinson's lead to 12-10.
On the ensuing drive for Pinson Valley, Bo Nix led a 10 play, 62 yard drive that saw him throw a 2-yard touchdown to Demarion Holloman. Saraland responded with a touchdown of their own as Nezat hooked up with Jay Williams for an 11-yard score.
After three straight scores, Pinson led 19-17 with 8:57 remaining.
Pinson then went 4 and out, giving Saraland the chance they needed to take the lead. However, three plays later, Nezat found a player from the wrong team in Kendall Thorton from Pinson Valley and he took it 46 yards the other way for a pick six to make it 26-17, which would be the final score.
Although Saraland fell, it was the best defensive performance against Pinson Valley by a 6A team this year. Shawn Byrd put up great defensive numbers with 13 tackles, two interceptions, one forced fumble, one tackle for loss and also blocked two extra points from Pinson.
Rayshawn McAlpine led the way on offense for Saraland, rushing 28 times for 158 yards and a touchdown.
For Bo Nix though, the questions now turn to when he'll be on this field wearing orange and blue. It was another great season and Super 7 performance as Pinson Valley won their second ever state title and second in a row, but with Gus Malzahn in attendance, fans across the country were paying attention to what happened tonight. For Pinson, Caleb Nix will be a sophomore next season. For Auburn, a true freshman may be the key to turning things around on the Plains.

Honky Tonk Taco
Taco Place
3384 SE Division St
Portland, OR 97202
The lineup at Honky Tonk, opened by Clyde Common Executive Chef Carlo Lamagna and restaurateur Nate Tilden, is as flavorful as it is simple: tacos, chips, salsa, and cocktails. The menu is even separated as "TACOS" and "NOT TACOS." Be sure to try the taco with fried shrimp and avocado, and the rich and spicy mushroom taco. Margaritas abound (again, you'll find two sections on the menu titled "MARGARITAS" and "NOT MARGARITAS"), but you should check out the other Mexican-themed drinks, too, like the Southbound Suarez (tequila, horchata, becherovka, lime juice, agave).
