Her subsequent album, Spirit, was released in 1998, followed by This Way (2001). In 2003, she released 0304, which marked a departure from her previous folk-oriented records, featuring electronic arrangements and elements of dance-pop. In 2008, she released Perfectly Clear, her first country album; it debuted atop Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and featured three singles, "Stronger Woman", "I Do", and "'Til It Feels Like Cheating". Jewel released her first independent album, Lullaby, in 2009.

Jewel was started by Stan "The Record Man" Lewis in Shreveport, Louisiana. Lewis started his careerselling newspapers at the age of 9 in Shreveport. He saved his money, and quite a few years later, in1948, he bought five juke boxes and placed them in the neighborhoods around town. When a little store(8 feet by 12 feet) became available, he and his wife Paula bought it and started Stan's Record Shop,located at 728 Texas Street in Shreveport. Paula originally worked in the store while Stan worked otherjobs to make ends meet. Eventually, they did well enough with the records so they could buy a slightlylarger store next door and expand (see photo at right).



Stan started meeting the record promoters from the independent labels, as they would drive throughtown and wholesale records to Stan's store from their car trunks. Stan's record store stocked lots of R&Bmusic and some country music, so he dealt with the new record companies like Chess, Modern,Specialty, Imperial, and others, and got to know the owners. Lewis started promoting the records in hisshop and started a 15-minute radio program in Shreveport. By the end of the 1950s, he was sponsoringa one-hour show every night on a powerful station, drawing listeners from the entire South. He also hadautograph sessions for his customers in his record shop at, including Elvis Presley when he was in town.



By the mid-1950s, Stan was also producing sessions and recording artists, including sides like DaleHawkins' "Susie-Q." These were recorded at the local radio station in the middle of the night while theywere off the air.



It was his friend Leonard Chess who finally persuaded Stan to start his own record label. He was visitingChess in Chicago when he noticed the local supermarket chain, Jewel Tea Company, which had lots ofstores in Chicago, and thought that Jewel would be a good name for his record label. He started JewelRecords in 1963, and followed that with Paula Records (obviously named for his wife) in 1965. Notsurprisingly, early Jewel/Paula LPs were manufactured by Chess.



Up to the time that Paula was established, Stan Lewis' Jewel label was essentially a blues label. In 1965,when he started Paula Records as his pop entry, he moved John Fred and his Playboy Band over to thenew label along with a new group, the Uniques, who were more pop in style, and country singer NatStuckey. The next year, 1966, Lewis started a gospel singles series (the 100 series) on Jewel, andfollowed that with the establishment of Ronn Records in 1967, as an outlet for "uptown R&B and jazz."The album discographies for the Jewel, Paula, and Ronn labels are on the pages linked below.



Stan Lewis was active with his labels well into the late 1990s, when he sold them to an internet musiccompany, who subsequently sold the labels to Fuel 2000/Westside.

Billed under the banner of "Charles Brown and Friends," Fuel 2000 Records' Merry Christmas Baby (2000) is really a compilation of blues and soul recordings made by various artists (including Brown) for the Jewel, Paula, and Ronn family of labels during the 1960's and early 70's. Belying the presence of some blues legends, the album simply isn't that great, as most of these artists were either past their prime (Jimmy Reed, Big Joe Williams) or recutting earlier hits (Charles Brown, Lowell Fulson). But that's not to say Merry Christmas Baby doesn't contain some (pardon the pun) jewels. Brown's update of the title track is a gas, punctuated by funky, wah-wah guitar. And, Fulson's rendition of his classic "Lonesome Christmas" nearly stands up to the 1951 original he waxed for Swing Time Records. Even Louis Jordan's "Santa Claus Santa Claus" - recorded in 1968 when he was 60 years old - packs an impressive a wallop. (By the way, that's an entirely different song than the "Santa Claus Santa Claus" recorded by James Brown the same year - go figure.)






Buprestidae beetles are herbivorous and often strictly associated with their host plant. The knowledge of Buprestidae from Oman is still incipient. Less than 25 species of Buprestidae are reported from Oman so far and this indicates the large blank in our knowledge in this family when compared to recorded species from other neighboring countries in the Arabian Peninsula. In this paper, seven species from four genera and three subfamilies are being new records for Oman. The number of new records in Agrilinae subfamily are four species (Agrilus (Diplolophotus) desertus (Klug, 1829), Agrilus (Micragrilus) lituratus (Klug, 1829), Agrilus purpuratus (Klug, 1829), Agrilus (Agrilomorpha) venosus Gory & Laporte, 1837, two from Buprestinae (Chrysobothris (Chrysobothris) parvipunctata Obenberger, 1914, Melanophila cuspidata (Klug, 1829)) and one from Chrysochroinae (Paratassa arabica Bílý & Volkovitsh, 1996).
