Corona virus sinks the stock exchanges
21.01.2020 – Daily Report. Unexpected neck blow for investors in Asia: fear of a deadly lung epidemic has pulled prices sharply south. Brokers in Germany are also predominantly pushing the sell button.
Frankfurt in reverse gear
Only a few traders had this threat on their radar: the spread of a new type of virus-induced lung disease in China is unsettling investors. The DAX fell by 0.5 percent to 13,487 points in early Tuesday trading. The indicator thus moved further away from its record high of 13,596 points, which it reached about two years ago. The strong ZEW economic data only supported the prices a little.
US futures also fell by 0.4 percent. Government bonds and the Japanese yen were in demand as safe havens. There were no specifications from the USA for the DAX: The American stock exchanges remained closed yesterday because of the holiday "Martin Luther King Day".
Threatening epidemic in China
In the People's Republic of China, the CSI-300 dropped by a whopping 1.7 percent to 4,114 points in the morning. Brokers explained the development with the outbreak of the corona virus and four deaths. The disease, which resembles pneumonia, could cause considerable damage to the retail trade and tourism, the floor said. Some stock market experts drew parallels to related epidemics such as SARS and MERS. The situation appears to be more dangerous than previously suspected.
China's President Xi Jinping said yesterday, according to the state TV station CCTV, that the outbreak must be taken seriously. Also on state television, scientist Zhong Nanshan, head of a commission investigating the disease, confirmed that it is now certain that the epidemic can be transmitted from person to person. Previously, only animals – specifically the fish market in Wuhan – had been considered a source of infection. According to the "Wall Street Journal", the number of confirmed cases in the Middle Kingdom has now tripled to over 200. And this before the great wave of travel to the Chinese New Year. First cases have also been reported in Thailand, Japan and South Korea. The World Health Organization has now convened its Emergency Committee because of the diseases.
In Hong Kong, the continuing protests also depressed the mood. As a result, the Hang Seng fell particularly sharply by 2.8 percent to 27,985 points.
Japan's central bank stands still
In Japan, the Nikkei 225 lost 0.9 percent to 23,864 points. As expected, the Japanese central bank did not touch the key interest rate of minus 0.1 percent. The goal remains to push the yield on ten-year government bonds towards zero. At the same time, the central bank raised its economic forecast by 0.2 points to 0.9 percent, justifying the move with the reduced risks in the course of Phase 1 between China and the USA.
Institutions sell oil
Oil prices continued to fall, WTI lost 1.5 percent to USD 57.81, Brent slipped 1.1 percent to USD 64.39. According to an analysis by Reuters, many major speculators have exited their long positions after the situation between Iran and the USA calmed down. By 14 January, fund managers had sold the equivalent of 64 million barrels of WTI futures.
Short process in Impeachment
For brokers, the question could become interesting in the coming days as to whether the majority of Republicans in the Senate will push through a short trial; or whether there are defectors who, just like the Democrats, now want to summon witnesses in impeachment after all. If so, the stock market is likely to interpret this as a signal that there is a crack in the Republican faction. And that US President Donald Trump is in danger – which would be a bearish signal for Wall Street. A quick acquittal, on the other hand, would be a bullish factor for anyone trading CFDs on US indices or online US stocks.

Electric vehicle market statistics 2023
With increasing consumer demand, greater availability of electric models and government support, electric car sales have been growing strongly and there are now over 660,000 battery-electric cars on UK roads, plus a further 445,000 plug-in hybrids.
On this electric vehicle (EV) market stats page, Zap-Map tracks the cumulative number of electric vehicles on UK roads, the growth in electric vehicle sales, and the proportion of new car sales that are electric – either battery-electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids. You can also track the number of electric vans being sold.
In addition to this electric car sales data, Zap-Map tracks EV charging statistics and also offers various insight reports as well as the annual EV Charging Survey, designed to assist organisations of all types in making the switch to electric vehicles. Please get in touch for more information on data_requests@zap-map.com.
Third parties are welcome to use the Zap-Map charts, showing growth in the EV market over time, as long as the Zap-Map logo is maintained on the chart, and acknowledgement is added, ideally with a link back to https://www.zap-map.com in the body of the article. The data must be strictly copied and updated manually, no automated data collection can be applied in any form. The data can only published in its original state and without any modifications.
How many electric cars are there in the UK?
The chart below shows the number of electric cars registered in the UK – as of the end of December 2022 there were more than 660,000 battery-electric cars.
More than 265,000 battery-electric cars were registered in 2022, a growth of 40% on 2021.
Cumulative number of battery-electric cars in the UK (2016 to date)
Source: SMMT, December 2022
What proportion of cars sold each month are electric?
Electric car registrations continue to rise in absolute numbers, with 42,284 new registrations of battery-electric cars in December 2022, giving BEVs a market share of 32.9% of all new car registrations.
Note that, in the UK, March and September are new registration plate months, which accounts for the twice-yearly peaks in electric car sales and, historically, a drop in market share in these periods.

How many plug-in cars are there in the UK?
The chart below shows the number of plug-in cars registered in the UK. As of the end of December 2022, there were more than 1,110,000 plug-in cars with approximately 660,000 BEVs and 445,000 PHEVs registered.
Last year, more than 365,000 plug-in hybrid and battery-electric cars were registered, showing a growth of 20% on 2021. There was also a significant shift away from plug-in hybrids towards battery-electric cars, with plug-in hybrid sales declining year on year, while battery-electric vehicle sales have increased.
Cumulative number of plug-in cars registered in the UK (2016 to date)
Number of new plug-in car registrations by month
The chart below shows the number of registrations and market share of plug-in cars each month over the past 13 months.
Electric car registrations continue to rise in absolute numbers, with 50,651 new registrations in December 2022 (42,284 BEVs and 10,186 PHEVs), the market share last month was 39.40% – a record month. Note that, in the UK, March and September are new registration plate months, which accounts for the twice-yearly peaks in new car sales and drop in market share in these periods.
Electric car sales: How has the electric car market share grown over time?
As shown in the chart, the number of electric cars as a proportion of all new cars continues to grow each year.
In 2015, just 1.1% of new vehicles registered had a plug, compared to 3.2% in 2019. By the end of December 2022, this figure had accelerated to 22.9% (16.6% BEV and 6.3% PHEV). These numbers reflect both the increase in demand for electric vehicles and the decline in demand for traditional, particularly diesel, cars.
Annual market share – plug-in market share of new car registrations (2016 to date)
Since 2019, the gap between the percentage of PHEV sales and BEV sales has widened, as BEVs continue to grow in popularity. In 2023, we only expect to see this trend accelerate as BEVs appeal to an increasing number of drivers.
How many electric vans are there in the UK?
Last year, the number of electric vans sold in the UK picked up significantly. One factor here is increased demand, but the upwards trend is also thanks to a large number of new models coming to market, seeing what was once a very small choice of models expand dramatically.
Find out more in our Guide to Electric Vans, or see the charts below to see the profile of new registrations of battery-electric vans in the UK since 2020.

The chart above shows the number of battery-electric vans registered in the UK since 2020. As of the end of November 2022, there were more than 33,000 electric vans in the UK.
Last year saw the biggest annual increase in the number of electric van registrations, with almost 13,000 electric vans registered, showing a growth of 240% on 2020.
How many new electric vans are registered each month?
The chart below shows the number of registrations of battery-electric vans each month in 2022. Electric van registrations continue to rise in absolute numbers, with 1974 new registrations in November 2022.

How has the market share of electric vans grown over time?
As shown in the chart, the number of electric vans as a proportion of all new vans increased to 3.6% in 2021. So far this year, that proportion has increased to 5.8%. We only expect this percentage to increase as the year progresses.

When choosing your chandelier have a good look at the chandelier's four main aspects that are: quality of metal parts, quality of trimmings, joining of the crystals and electrical wires.
With regards of the metal parts quality in second hand chandeliers you look for the tarnishing.Tarnish is basically discoloration of the metal, most common are rust speckles beneath the varnish so it cannot be wiped off nor can it be polished off with a polish paste.
Good quality chandeliers are made of brass, lesser quality chandeliers are made of all sorts of metal compounds, some of which are prone to rusting.
I do not mean chandeliers made of wrought iron which is craft by itself and could be of high quality depending on the skill of the man who makes it. Brass darkens if left natural so for bright gold finish the brass is lacquered, heat treated and vanished.
whereas nickel finish is actually nickel plated and real gold finish is also done by electroplating.
Finishes nowadays are long lasting as long as the procedures are followed correctly as would be done by any reputable manufacturer. Any shortcuts within the finishing procedures will result in premature tarnishing which is mainly caused by humidity and fluctuation of temperature. There is nothing worse for a chandelier then sitting in an unheated garage or a loft where the temperature can vary from -5 to 25 degree C. Not to mention the effect of the varied temperature on a chandelier that is just sitting in a box not suspended as chandeliers were designed for, which unsurprisingly causes metal arms to distort and glass arms to brake. The stress on chandeliers stored incorrectly is great, but more worryingly may compromise integrity of the structure itself and when rehung may end up on the floor or worse injuring someone.
Trimmings quality vary greatly from plastic through glass to crystals. There is not much point talking about plastic trimmings which do not look good with the exception of some hyper modern pieces. Traditional glass trimmings are generally not of as high quality and there is no point of fine finishing as you cannot achieve the great sparkles without PbO anyway unless you are Mr Swarovski. Now for the crystal trimmings, classification of crystal vary from country to country from as little as 5% up to 31% PbO. Good quality crystal contains between 24% – 31% PbO.
There are hundreds of shapes and sizes of these crystals so there is a great selection to choose from.
and Strass which is 31% PbO and I wouldn't hesitate to say that this is the best crystal there is.
effective however after washing you may find rusting which can also discolour the crystal.
Old chandeliers were joined by a wire simply cut to size, crystals were threaded on and twisted together.
The electrical wiring is only an issue when you are not purchasing from a shop. In this case see if the chandelier works and physically look whether the wire is in good condition and has current colours, then have it tested by an electrician. Electricians will not install a chandelier with bad wiring as the danger from electrical fires is not something one would wish to be responsible for. Rewiring is time consuming and a smallish 6 arm chandelier would cost you around £160 so bare this cost in mind.
Over the years I have learned that if an item is cheap it looks cheap, but if it makes you happy then buy it anyway. But do have a good look around first so you can make a more informed decision.

So whenever I have been driving recently if I go a little too fast my transmission will start to shift harder in the second and third shift, then the O/D light starts blinking. Do I have a transmission problem?
Well, it is definitely telling you something is wrong. See if you can get a decent scan tool that can do transmission codes and find out what pops up.
I think your local parts shop may have this service for a few bux or even free. My local is free, but I went and bought a BlueDriver OBDII reader for 100 bux off Amazon. Me likie that I don't have to drive anywhere to see what may be brewing in my truck anymore.

Matt and I took half a days' leave on Tuesday to visit London. The main reason for going was to see French musician and composer, Yann Tiersen, live at the Royal Festival Hall (thank you to my lovely boyfriend for the present <3). It was an absolutely beautiful, if not slightly quirky, performance based on the sounds of the island on which it was created.
Yann Tiersen on stage
Before the concert, we had some time to do some exploring and so decided to take a look around the Garden Museum in Lambeth. The museum was founded by Rosemary and John Nicholson in 1977 in order to rescue the abandoned church of St Mary's at Lambeth, which was due for demolition (source: https://gardenmuseum.org.uk).
Current exhibitions at the museum include Anna Skladmann: The Man with the Midas Touch, a selection of gorgeous images created using a unusual method that provides stunning results. She uses scans of each flower (narcissus), using a technique the artist has developed, where she uses multiple kinds of liquids such as milk and water when placing the flower on a digital scanner - photo below.
https://www.annaskladmann.com/work-overview/the-man-with-the-midas-touch
Also on show at the moment is Rachel Labovitch: Skyward who's work explores different ways of representing the view upwards through trees and branches, and raises questions about how we absorb those surroundings on the edge of our experience, just in our peripheral vision.

What is botanical illustration?
Botanical illustration captures the form, colour, and details of plant species and is scientifically accurate. The need for exactness differentiates botanical illustration from more general flower painting. I love both art forms. If it's an artistic representation of a beautiful plant, then I'm happy.
Botanical illustration can be traced back to sometime between 50 and 70 CE. Prior to the invention of photography, it was the only way of visually recording the different species of plant life.

While botanical illustration is not as relevant to researchers today, it has become an inspiration for artists who are paying homage to plant life in contemporary ways.

My own work
I love flowers. They fill up many of my photo albums and I can't wait to fill my garden with them (when I have one!). I love all flowers, but if I had to choose I would pick roses, narcissus (especially the tiny teeny ones) and all white flowers. I've often played around with sketching flowers and plants but not as much as I would like to. Illustrations like the image below have really inspired me to give flowers a go again.
Here's some little sketches from my own sketchbook:
The Garden Museum was a fantastic find, inspirational and worth a visit. If not for the plants, then just to escape the busy London streets for a while.
Flowers aren't just beautiful; they are incredibly sensory, evoking memories and emotions through colour, smell, texture and the various meanings associated with different species. I can't wait to get drawing and painting and see what botanical work I can create!

Ashton Kutcher & Mila Kunis Reveal Their Newborn Son's Name
December 2, 2016 admin Celebrity Gossip 0
Meet the newest Kutcher! Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have revealed the name of their baby boy.
"A Plus is happy to announce that Dimitri Portwood Kutcher was born at 1:21 a.m. on November 30, weighing 8 pounds and 15 ounces," a message posted to Ashton's website on Friday read.
Dimitri is Ashton and Mila's second child. The couple welcomed daughter Wyatt in 2014, and have since been famously private when it comes to their little ones.
PHOTOS: Celebrity Baby Boom Of 2016!
According to A Plus, the actor said he and Mila want to make sure they don't impose the spotlight on their children before they're able to decide if it's something they want for themselves.
"We'd like to allow our kids to make their own choices on whether to have a life in the public eye or not," Ashton told the site. "We don't want to make the choice for them."
PHOTOS: Hollywood Dads & Their Kids
However, Ashton may have accidentally let slip a crucial detail about Dimitri during an appearance on "Today" in October.
"She points at Mila and she's like, 'baby brother,' when she points to the belly, and then she points to Dad and she goes, 'beer,'" the actor said, when asked how Wyatt was handling her soon-to-be big sister duties at the time.
Ashton and Mila tied the knot in 2015, but first met years earlier while working together on "That '70s Show."

Diplodoki, (Diplodocinae) – podrodzina dinozaurów z rodziny diplodoków.

Pożywienie
rośliny

Występowanie
Zamieszkiwały Amerykę Północną (dzisiejsze USA).

W świetle dzisiejszej wiedzy nie ma wątpliwości, że wiodły lądowy tryb życia, aczkolwiek mogły zamieszkiwać obrzeża zbiorników wodnych.

Opis
Duże zauropody.

Bardzo mała głowa osadzona na końcu długiej szyi. Stosunkowo krótki tułów; kończyny tylne masywne, dużo dłuższe od przednich.
Ogon bardzo długi, biczowaty.

Hipoteza o posiadaniu przez te zwierzęta trąby została odrzucona.

Zachowanie
Prawdopodobnie wiodły spokojny żywot wielkich roślinożerców. Niewiele zwierząt było w stanie im zagrozić. Jeśli już doszło do ataku, dinozaury te prawdopodobnie odpędzały drapieżnika ruchami swego długiego ogona, osiągającego ogromne prędkości i przecinającego powietrze niczym ogromny bicz.

Rodzaje

Self-leadership for social entrepreneurs
After eight years of planning, development, hoping and dreaming, this month the W2 Community Media Arts Centre finally opened its doors. This ambitious project aims to serve the working class community of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside—Canada's poorest postal code, and a neighbourhood made notorious by drug abuse, slumlords and heartbreak.
The challenges faced by this strong, tight-knit community aren't simple or easy to resolve. More than 200 NGOs operate here, and countless social workers, law enforcement professionals, health professionals, and city planners have so far failed to make it a truly safe neighbourhood.
W2 Media Cafe
The W2 Centre aims to contribute to the solution. Unlike most NGOs, though, it doesn't plan to foist its programs on the 'hood. Executive Director Irwin Oostindie and his team don't claim to have the answers. Instead, the community will program the centre. Interested in learning photography? Great. Bring some friends together, W2 will help find a local teacher, and you can host a course. Chinese poetry? Great. Let's find an elder in nearby Chinatown who can share her knowledge. It's up to the neighbourhood, not some imported "expert."
W2 will also operate an incubator for micro social enterprises, a printing facility for public use, a significant convening space for meetings, conferences and other events, and more. And it's all fronted by the W2 Media Café, which acts as a symbolic welcome mat for the community.
The great inspiration behind W2 is the simple recognition that the answers to the challenges of the Downtown Eastside won't be simple. But then, neither are most answers sought by social entrepreneurs. That's because the problems we face aren't simple either.
Defining the challenges we aim to meet
Simple problems are like baking a cake; you just have to read the instructions! Cause and effect are obvious. "Best practices" exist, and we can train others to repeat the solution. (It's written on the side of the box!)
Other problems are complicated, like flying to the moon. Cause and effect can be discerned, but it takes deeper analysis and more expertise. We can see a problem, analyze it, and respond accordingly. Only good practices can be defined, because the subtleties are significant. In social enterprise, we face complicated problems every day. We learn on the job. We develop systems and processes to smooth the way forward, on strategy, on budget, and on mission.
Then there are the complex problems. Cause and effect are clear only in retrospect. We must analyze the problem first, then seek solutions that emerge from our analysis. Complex problems are like raising a child: Do everything right, do your best every day, and your child may grow up to be a Nobel Laureate. Or they might equally end up a convicted criminal.
The fourth and final category is chaotic problems, where a relationship between cause and effect simply doesn't exist at a systems level. The hours after a major disaster—such as the Banda Aceh tsunami of 2004—are chaotic. Expert agencies like Red Cross must simply react as best they can, and adapt quickly. (There's no time to strategize a social enterprise response here!)
This typography of problems is known as the Cynefin Framework. It's a useful way of identifying the types of problems we face, and defining the right ways to respond.
The Cynefin Framework
Problem Type Identifying Factors The Approach to Solutions
Simple Relationship between cause and effect is patently obvious Sense the problem, categorize it, and respond using best practices
Complicated Relationship between cause and effect requires analysis Sense the problem, analyze it, and respond using good practices
Complex Relationship between cause and effect can only be identified in hindsight Probe for understanding, sense the problem, and respond using emergent practices
Chaotic Relationship between cause and effect doesn't exist at a systems level Act first, sense the impact, and respond using novel practices
Equipping ourselves to face complex problems
As social entrepreneurs, we face complex problems head on: urban degradation and decay, and the social issues these trends bring with them; the accelerating march of climate change, and the diverse consequences on ecosystems, animal populations and human cultures; international conflict, and the unimaginably harsh capacity of "security forces" to mete out pain on their fellow citizens.
While social enterprise cannot be the solution to every problem, it can and does provide opportunities and answers for some aspects of these significant challenges.
Leading a social enterprise that aims to resolve these "complex" problems is no small feat. The strategic thinking, diverse skills and capacity, and enduring resilience of successful social entrepreneurs are characteristics that should be the envy of most leaders of traditional business. These inspiring leaders engage their colleagues, develop enduring coalitions, and effect the systemic change necessary to redress societies' hardships and failings.
So how can we, as dedicated social entrepreneurs, learn to lead with this capacity? How can we imitate the great leaders of history—Gandhi, Kennedy, Dr. King, just to name a few from the last century?
Leadership: Self-awareness, self-management and self-development
Leadership begins with self-awareness. When we contemplate great leaders (whether huge names, or those closer to home) patterns of behaviour and capacity are clear. Effective leadership always begins with deep self-reflection. Self-aware leaders understand where they are strong, and where they need the support of those around them to mitigate their weaknesses. They recognize and articulate their own assumptions, and the impact they might have on their decision-making. And they're clear on the values and limitations that influence their intent and their actions.
There are three easy and sure routes to self-awareness:
First, take regular breaks from your work. We all know the invaluable perspective that comes from time away. It enables us to see the trees and the forest. We simply don't do it often enough. Breaks might be midday meditations, quarterly week-long retreats, or a longer sabbatical. Or all of the above. Time away from our missions refreshes our resolve, renews our capacity, and ultimately deepens our impact.
Second, form a personal advisory board of trusted friends, colleagues and allies who will lovingly tell you the honest truth, helping you identify, articulate and learn from your mistakes. Meet with them regularly (it doesn't have to be formal), and especially during challenging times or crises.
Third, do the inner work it takes to understand how you react when the going gets tough, and to learn your strengths and weaknesses. Knowing yourself is half the battle, but too often we move through life on autopilot. Take a look at InnerActivist.com for ideas and practices you can use.
Successful leaders also manage themselves, taking personal responsibility for their energy, their performance, and their health. They recognize that the height of their ambition will take inimitable energy. They manage themselves, so they have the energy to lead their cause. Complex problems, after all, are resolved through marathons of effort, not sprints.
Self-management begins with self-awareness, but day-to-day, effective time management is profound in its contribution to achievement of results. Countless "systems" exist, and even more products are available. Many people are advocates of GTD—Getting Things Done. Stephen Covey's The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People remains invaluable decades after its publication. Whatever system you choose, make best use of it and tailor it to your particular role, responsibilities and life.
Impactful leaders also develop themselves with intention and dedication throughout their whole lives. They never stop inquiring, learning, improving and seeking opportunities and challenges to build their own character and grow as human beings and as leaders. They indulge their curiosity; they read voraciously. Like martial arts masters, they train every day, because it is the very act of practice that preserves our ability to learn, to adapt and to remain innovative. After all, "change is the only constant."
By focusing on self-awareness, self-management and self-development, the leaders we respect by definition demonstrate that for which we respect them—their incredible depth of character, their honesty, their integrity. And their resilience.
The five dimensions of leadership
Of course, character and resilience aren't sufficient to change the world. Social entrepreneurs' capacity to lead themselves is but the first of five vital dimensions of social enterprise leadership. The others include the capacity to engage the people around us, the achievement of measurable results, the increasingly essential ability to develop inter-organizational collaborations, and the breadth of view to contemplate the entire system, while also working within it.
The good news is that there are social enterprise leaders working today who embody these skills. Even better, each of these capabilities, and the specific skills within them, can be learned. By focusing on development of effective leaders, we can accelerate the social enterprise movement to achieve its promise of a world made better by the power of business.

"Best birthday present ever" – Jane Fonda announces her cancer is in remission
Netflix/Eric Charbonneau
In a post on her official website, Oscar winner Jane Fonda revealed her cancer is in remission. The star, who turns 85 on December 21, titled the entry "BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!".
She explained, "Last week I was told by my oncologist that my cancer is in remission and I can discontinue chemo. I am feeling so blessed, so fortunate. I thank all of you who prayed and sent good thoughts my way. I am confident that it played a role in the good news."
The Grace and Frankie star said, "I'm especially happy because while my first 4 chemo treatments were rather easy for me, only a few days of being tired, the last chemo session was rough and lasted 2 weeks making it hard to accomplish much of anything."
The actress and activist went on to say that the effects "effects wore off" just in time for her to attend a political rally, meet with lawmakers, and speak at climate change events.
As reported back in September, Fonda revealed she had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and told fans she had begun undergoing chemotherapy treatments. "This is a very treatable cancer. 80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky," she expressed at the time.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma begins in the cells of the lymph system, which is part of the immune system and helps the body fight infection and disease, according to the National Cancer Institute. It can occur almost anywhere, as lymph tissue is found throughout the body.
Fonda previously underwent a lumpectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010. In 2018, she revealed she had a cancerous growth removed from her lip.

Jambase – The Allman Betts Band Announces New Album 'Bless Your Heart' & Shares Single
The Allman Betts Band announced a new album, Bless Your Heart, due out on August 28 through BMG. The group also shared the LP's lead single, "Magnolia Road."
Bless Your Heart follows The Allman Best Band's 2019 debut album, Down To The River. The group consisting of Devon Allman (guitar, vocals), Duane Betts (guitar, vocals), Berry Duane Oakley (bass), Johnny Stachela (guitar, vocals), John Ginty (keyboards), R Scott Bryan (percussion, vocals) and John Lum (drums) headed to the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio to record Bless Your Heart, just as they had done on Down To The River, with additional tracking in Memphis and St. Louis. The LP also features guest contributions from Jimmy Hall, Shannon McNally, Art Edmaiston, Susan Marshall and Reba Russell.
"I think we definitely challenged ourselves, pushed ourselves artistically, and widened the spectrum on all levels," Duane Betts said in a statement. "We wanted something that was a little more sweeping. A deeper experience."
"I hope what people hear on Bless Your Heart is a band that's having a love affair with being a band," Devon Allman added.
On Bless Your Heart's lead single, "Magnolia Road," Devon and Duane shared a lyric with collaborator Stoll Vaughan, who penned a semi-biographical tune following the lives of the sons of The Allman Brothers Band's Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts.
"Magnolia Road" arrived with an accompanying animated music video. Watch it below:

Yahoo! Watch Allman Betts Band Cover 'Midnight Rider' on 'CBS This Morning'
The Allman Betts Band — the jam-rock group featuring Allman Brothers Band progeny Devon Allman and Duane Betts — covered their fathers' "Midnight Rider" during their "Saturday Sessions" performance on CBS This Morning.
Performing from the stage of Solana Beach, California's Belly Up venue, the group — which also boasts Berry Duane Oakley, the son of Allmans bassist Berry Oakley — played a pair of tracks from their upcoming LP Bless Your Heart, first single "Magnolia Road" and their latest cut "Pale Horse Rider."
"'Pale Horse Rider' was a really fun one to write," Devon Allman, the son of Gregg Allman, recently told Rolling Stone. "Duane [Betts] had this almost vertigo-inducing descending melodic pattern that was so unique. Once I started the lyric about a man feeling so lost and isolated with the world out to get him, the story just kind of wrote itself. The Wild West seemed the perfect to setting to tell the tale."
Bless Your Heart, the Allman Betts Band's second album and follow-up to 2019's Down to the River, arrives August 28th.

Rock and Blues Muse -Allman Betts Band Release New Single "Magnolia Road"
The Allman Betts Band has released their first single, "Magnolia Road" from their upcoming album Bless Your Heart out August 28 via BMG.
"Magnolia Road" is the tie-dyed contender for summer festival favorite. A semi-autobiographical lyric shared by Betts and Allman, ironically this is the only song on the album with band collaborator Stoll Vaughan as its sole author. Vaughan wrote the song alone, though namechecking detailed parts of Betts' and Allman's life, respectively. Musically evokes the group's affection for The Band and the Grateful Dead.
The Allman Betts Band is:
Devon Allman- guitar, vocals Duane Betts- guitar, vocals Berry Duane Oakley- bass, vocals Johnny Stachela- guitar, vocals John Ginty- keyboards, R Scott Bryan- percussion, vocals John Lum- drums

Download/Stream "Magnolia Road"
When The Allman Betts Band released Down to the River in June of 2019, the debut album represented not only the first time the group had recorded together but, in fact, the first time the seven-piece ensemble had ever played together. If Down to the River was the sound of the band's combustible sparks igniting, then Bless Your Heart is their bonfire, built for the summer of 2020 and beyond; a double-album follow-up fueled by road-forged camaraderie and telepathic musical intensity, vibrantly reflecting the individual and collective experiences of these seven, all drawing inspiration from the band's symbolic hometown- a place Devon Allman calls "the United States of Americana."
A conflagration of influences and invention, confidence and ambition, Bless Your Heart captures a vast, panoramic scope throughout a baker's dozen of modern rock. Ragged and stomping. Heady and frayed. Soaring and scorching. Generational and genteel. West Coast scenes and Gulf Coast shores. Gateways of the Midwest and swamplands of Florida. Wyoming's Big Sky. New York's Big Apple. Chicago's Broad Shoulders.
Over a week's time, they recorded 13 songs at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio on 2-inch tape, just as they did with Down to The River. In addition to the time in Muscle Shoals, Bless Your Heart saw additional tracking in Memphis and St. Louis. Within the eclectic repertoire are the familiar: stacks of guitars; electric, acoustic, and slide; a throttling, percussive rhythm section. And the fresh: Bassist and singer Berry Duane Oakley's ABB vocal debut on his original song ("The Doctor's Daughter"); Allman's baritone vocal channeling Johnny Cash ("Much Obliged"); Betts extending the legendary family legacy of incendiary instrumentals ("Savannah's Dream"). They tapped friends, as well, such as Jimmy Hall, Shannon McNally, Art Edmaiston, Susan Marshall, and Reba Russell for guest contributions. Then, emerged with an undeniable achievement of an album (what sophomore jinx?) worthy of its winking, unabashedly Southern title.
"I think we definitely challenged ourselves, pushed ourselves artistically, and widened the spectrum on all levels. We wanted something that was a little more sweeping. A deeper experience," says Betts.
Says Allman, "I hope what people hear on Bless Your Heart is a band that's having a love affair with being a band."

Rolling Stone – Allman Betts Band Tap Into the Desolation of the Old West in 'Pale Horse Rider'
The Allman Betts Band — the jam-rock group of Devon Allman and Duane Betts — tap into the desolation of the Old West with their new song "Pale Horse Rider." It's a guitar duel of a track, with the two players weaving complementary licks throughout. The song is the latest release off the group's upcoming second album, Bless Your Heart.
"'Pale Horse Rider' was a really fun one to write," says Allman, the son of Gregg Allman. "Duane had this almost vertigo-inducing descending melodic pattern that was so unique. Once I started the lyric about a man feeling so lost and isolated with the world out to get him, the story just kind of wrote itself. The Wild West seemed the perfect to setting to tell the tale."
"Pale Horse Rider," which opens Bless Your Heart, builds and builds until it reaches its crescendo, crashing with a whoa-whoa refrain and a combustible guitar solo. Betts calls it a "beautiful entanglement of guitars." "It's a new texture of our band that we get to showcase on this record," he says.
Bless Your Heart arrives August 28th and is the follow-up to 2019's Down to the River. Along with Allman and Betts, the band includes another progeny of an Allman Brothers founder: Berry Duane Oakley is the son of Allmans bassist Berry Oakley. The Allman Betts Band released the single "Magnolia Road" last month.

Dairy Sector – Fonterra lifts forecast Farmgate Milk Price range and revises earnings guidance at first quarter update
Source: MIL-OSI Submissions
Source: Fonterra
Fonterra Co-operative Group today lifted its 2021/22 forecast Farmgate Milk Price range, reported a solid start to the 2022 financial year and revised its earnings guidance.
The Co-op has lifted and narrowed the forecast Farmgate Milk Price range to NZD $8.40 – $9.00 per kgMS, up from NZD $7.90 – $8.90 per kgMS. This increases the midpoint of the range, which farmers are paid off, to NZD $8.70 per kgMS. The higher milk price has seen the Co-op revise its earnings guidance to 25-35 cents per share from 25-40 cents per share.
Fonterra CEO Miles Hurrell says the lift in the 2021/22 forecast Farmgate Milk Price range is good news and is an important boost to New Zealand communities. With a midpoint of $8.70 per kgMS, it would contribute more than $13.2 billion to the New Zealand economy.
"It's the result of consistent strong demand for dairy at a time of constrained global supply.
"We've seen the impact of a number of events play out this first quarter. That includes the high price of feed in the US which has seen milk production growth stall and a lower-than-expected supply picture in Europe.
"Fonterra's New Zealand milk supply is down around 3% on this time last season. While we expect that milk supply will be less than last season's 1,539 million kgMS, the improving weather conditions and forecast milk collections for the balance of this season that are generally on par with last season support our current season forecast of 1,525 million kgMS.
"While we've seen demand soften slightly in China, global demand remains strong, and we think that will remain the case for the short to medium term.
"A higher forecast Farmgate Milk Price at this level can put pressure on our margins and therefore our earnings, which is why we've reduced the top end of our earnings guidance."
First quarter business update
Fonterra has delivered a Total Group EBIT of $190 million for the three months ending 31 October 2021. This was achieved at a time when input costs are significantly higher than the same period last year. These have been driven by a 30% increase in Whole Milk Powder prices.
Mr Hurrell says there have been a number of factors at play in the first quarter. "We're seeing stable sales volumes in our Foodservice channel, but a milk price at these high levels has squeezed margins. Our Chilean business continues to improve but tightening margins and weaker local currency in other markets have impacted our Consumer channel overall.
"In our Ingredients channel, we're seeing margins in our longer-term pricing contracts return to more normal levels, which has helped push Total Group gross margin up from the last quarter last year.
"We continue to see the benefit of our focus on financial discipline with lower interest expense, and operating expenditure down 2% on the same quarter last year.
"Looking at the whole picture, I'm proud of what we've achieved. With EBIT of $190 million and a strong Farmgate Milk Price, we are starting to consistently deliver solid commercial outcomes."
While the impacts of COVID-19 continue to be felt around the world, Mr Hurrell says the Co-op is working hard to deliver for farmer owners, unit holders and customers and supporting employees.
"The resilience of our people and our supply chain means we continue to stay on top of the strong demand for our New Zealand milk."
"However, it is concerning to hear about new variants, which are potentially more resistant to vaccines. There is also the ongoing question of whether economies can rebound from the pandemic and then sustain their financial health.
"That's why we have a 60-cent range on our forecast Farmgate Milk Price range."
Globally, teams are starting to return to the office following extended COVID-19 lockdowns. Mr Hurrell says it's been a challenging time for employees.
"In some of our regions, our people have spent more than 18 months working from home. We've supported them during this time and continue to support their safe return to the office. I want to acknowledge the extra effort from our employees that is helping us deliver good results for the Co-op.
"Here in New Zealand, we recently completed the rollout of our vaccination programme in partnership with the Ministry of Health, which saw more than 8,000 doses administered."
Path to 2030
Fonterra set out the next phase of its long-term strategy in September, with three key strategic choices guiding the Co-op – a continued focus on New Zealand milk and to lead in sustainability and dairy innovation and science.
Mr Hurrell says the Co-op is confident in its strategy and 2030 targets and is already showing early signs of progress.
"As we continue to focus on New Zealand milk, work is underway on the divestment of our Chilean business and the ownership review of our Australian business, with the appointment of advisors to assist with both processes. Dependent on the outcome of these processes, we intend to return around $1 billion of capital to our shareholders and unit holders by FY24.
Mr Hurrell says the focus on New Zealand milk is paying off with customers. "We recently launched our Mainland cheese range in Dubai's largest supermarket chain. The range completely sold out, with customers using social media sites to track down the cheese in-store. Our in-region team is now looking at launching the range into other countries.
"We're also focused on delivering innovative new solutions for our customers. Our new Ingredients ecommerce platform, myNZMPTM, is being embraced by customers across China, Latin America, South East Asia and the Middle East."
Mr Hurrell says the Co-op is also using innovative technology to make the most of the natural goodness found in our New Zealand dairy.
"A transformative dairy science collaboration with Vitakey will explore how we can further unlock the benefits of our probiotic strains. Our goal is to design dairy products that incorporate targeted and time-controlled release of specific dairy nutrients in a way that locks in the freshness for longer and allows the nutrients to be more active and beneficial in the body."
New Zealand is already the most carbon-efficient dairy producing nation on the planet and Mr Hurrell says the Co-op is making strides in its intention to retain a significant advantage by being a leader in sustainability.
"By treating water at our Maungatūroto site using a natural wetland, we can reduce water use on site by up to 25%. On-farm, we've just introduced Farm Insights Reports, which give farmers a comprehensive picture of their overall farm from an environmental performance and animal health perspective. This enables them to focus on the improvements which will have the biggest impact.
"We're also working to find a solution to the challenge of on-farm emissions and one of the exciting projects we've been working on is Kowbucha™, a probiotic which could switch off the bugs that create methane in cows. Initial results have been promising, showing a reduction of up to 50% in methane, and we're now at the stage of trialling it on farm.
"This is just some of the great work underway in the Co-op that will enhance our New Zealand sustainable nutrition story."
About Fonterra
We're an Aotearoa, New Zealand dairy co-operative owned by 10,000 farming whānau (families). Through the spirit of co-operation and a can-do attitude, Fonterra's farmers, along with 20,000 employees around the world, share the goodness of our milk through innovative consumer, foodservice and ingredient brands. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and we're committed to leaving things in a better way than we found them. Everyday people working hard to be Good Together in the community.
