Business spending key to manufacturing
By Team CBD Nation
A trend of optimistic statistics in recent weeks restored confidence and a great deal of hope that the economy was heading towards the right direction.
However Friday’s appalling reading on growth caught almost everyone by surprise. The U.S. economy expanded at a 1.2% annual rate in the second quarter, about half of what economists had expected.
Poor business investments and speculations are believed to be the main malefactor for this. What is still significantly arguable and questionable however, is if this will have a long term impact on the overall economy peculiarly for already-fragile manufacturing activity?
Recent times have specifically been quite tumultuous and full of various economic downturns, giving manufacturing overseas an edge of lower labor costs, and a predominantly depressed level of manufacturing activity becoming the norm.
The Wall Street Journal forecast ISM’s manufacturing index hit 52.7 in July, down slightly from 53.2 in June, which was a 16-month high. If the unanimity is mutual and correct it would mark the fifth straight month above 50, which suggests factory activity is expanding.
A considerable amount of manufacturing’s currentdevelopment has come from new orders, which have increased for six straight months. However, it seems hard to continue this if U.S. corporations continue to stay uncertain to spend excessively on equipment, new technology and facilities.
In this seven-year economic recovery, the 2.1% average annual growth rate has been the weakest in the post-war era.Such a low growth rate “would appear to rule out a September rate rise,” says Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics.

Federal officer urges caution on rate hikes, cites risks to U.S
By Team CBD Nation
According to a key Federal official on Friday, risks posed to the U.S. economy remain tilted towards the downside, hence it is essential for the Federal Reserve to maintain a very prudent and measured approach in order to raise its interest rates.
New York Fed President William Dudley who is a voting member of the central bank's policymaking committee, said in prepared remarks that he expects the U.S. economy to emerge and expand by about 2 percent in 2016.
While New York Fed President, William Dudley said it was "premature" to rule out a policy tightening in 2016, he added that negative shocks were expected to occur as opposed to positive ones due to the unknown fallout from Britain's vote to leave the European Union and a strong dollar.
"Although the downside risks have diminished since earlier in the year, I still judge the balance of risks to my inflation and growth outlooks to be tilted slightly to the downside," Dudley said
Dudley also mentioned that several sectors of the economy are showing signs of softness.
"We're growing 2 percent and we're pretty close to full employment. If we grew much faster than that, we would probably take monetary policy more aggressively," Dudley told reporters on the sidelines of an international central banker’s conference in Bali.
He added that aggressive monetary easing in Japan and Europe this year improved the dollar and, together, helped convince the Fed it could not raise rates as aggressively as it imagined back in December.

James Alan McPherson, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Writer, Dies at 72
By Team CBD Nation
Pulitzer Prize-winning author James Alan McPherson passed away at the age of 72 on July 27, 2016 in a hospital in Iowa City, Iowa. His death was officially declared by the Writers’ Workshop at the University of Iowa.
He served not only as a professor emeritus, but was also a longtime faculty member at the esteemed University of Iowa's Writers' Workshop. The cause of death was reported by various sources as complications due to pneumonia.
The author, who was born on September 16, 1943, in Savannah, Georgia, retired from his teaching position in 2014. He was a beneficiary of a Guggenheim Fellowship and a MacArthur Fellowship.
“I thought he was the heart and soul of the workshop,” Christopher Merrill, director of the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa, told the Iowa City Press-Citizen. “We’ve lost a giant today."
McPherson won the Pulitzer Prize in 1978 for “Elbow Room,” a 1977 collection of short stories. He was the first African-American to win the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.
“I believe that if one can experience diversity, touch a variety of its people, laugh at its craziness, distill wisdom from its tragedies, and attempt to synthesize all this inside oneself without going crazy,” Mr. McPherson wrote, “one will have earned the right to call oneself ‘citizen of the United States.’ ”
Elbow Room, won the Pulitzer for fiction and was highly acclaimed by Robie Macauley, a former editor of The Kenyon Review, in The New York Times Book Review for its “fine control of language and story, a depth in his characters, humane values.”

Anthrax outbreak causes wildlife carnage in Siberia
By Team CBD Nation
An anthrax outbreak has reportedly swept the remote Yamalo-Nenets district of western Siberia, killing 1,500 reindeers within a week. The extremity of the weather, owing to a rise in the temperature, up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit above average has triggered the ecosystem disturbances on a wide scale.
A total of thirteen members of the nomadic community residing in Nenethave been taken to the nearest hospitals, while a number of nomads are being temporarily relocated to evade chances of contracting the bacterially-transmitted disease.
According to reports, Siberians stopped vaccinating reindeers against anthrax about a decade ago, after the region was rendered free of Anthrax in the last ten years. Authorities are busy scrambling and searching for remedies to rectify the menace, but it is likely that death toll of every affected specie will rise in the coming days.
Authorities attribute the outbreak of anthrax to an epidemic which began when a zombie anthrax defrosted out of an infected reindeer corpse due to the increase in temperature due to global warming. This abysmal situation is believed to have given life to this deadly disease out of a sodden corpse. It might sound supernatural, yet scientists have been aware of the phenomenon of resurrection ecology for years, which emphasizes on thawing of microbes when preservation conditions become unfavorable.“As a consequence of permafrost melting, the vectors of deadly infections of the 18th and 19th centuries may come back,” states a Russian researcher in a recent scientific paper.
This outbreak of the deadly disease that killed many in the early 1900’s is back with a bang, and anthropological activities are favoring it. Beware; global warming, and temperature rise is jeopardizing Siberia’s wild life and their wilderness.

Anastasia's Newest Glow Kit Will Make You Look Like an Actual Unicorn
By Team CBD Nation
It surely is an exciting time for highlighter fans as Anastasia Beverly Hills has launched two exciting as well as innovative illuminator kits.
The first exclusively revealed by POPSUGAR, is called Sweets. It features four candy-colored, shimmery "reflect" shades. These each appear as one hue initially, but when light hits them, they shift to reveal another incandescent tint.
The second palette, Moonchild Glow Kit which costs around $40 also gloats reflect formulas, but the six mesmerizing shades are more unexpected. There's Blue Ice (a diamond white with an icy blue reflect), Star (a moonstone fusion of mint, platinum and silver reflect), Purple Horseshoe (a glittering lavender with an arctic blue reflect), Pink Heart (pearl white with a pink opal reflect), Lucky Clover (a shamrock-infused gold with canary yellow diamond reflect), and Blue Moon (frozen blue with a silver reflect).
The names of the shades may call to mind a box of Lucky Charms, CEO Claudia Soare was inspired by a different magical source: The NeverEnding Story.
"When I was little in Romania, there wasn't a lot of television and things like that, so I had two films one of them was '[The] NeverEnding Story.' It was very important to me," she shared. In the movie, "Moon Child" was another name for the beautiful Childlike Empress, the ruler of Fantasia.
CEO Claudia Soare said that Moonchild is all about inclusivity, creativity, and letting your true self shine.
“Everything about this new product and this campaign represents the acceptance of yourself as being different, the acceptance of your creative self [and] creative freedom," she said.
