The IHS Markit Flash US Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index fell two full points from 52.6 in April to 50.6 in May. Above 50 means growth, so this is still growth, but it’s a heck of a lot slower growth than a month ago, and very near the zero-growth red line in the chart (data via Investing.com):

bakila:Then remain without knowledge until Google's tongue is unstriked! Except I can't help but educate you, so here goes: The Justices of the 2019 Presidential Election Petition Tribunal are as follows: 1. Justice Zanaib Bulkachuwa (President of Court of Appeal and Chairman of the Panel) 2. Justice Abdul Aboki 3. Justice Peter Ige 4. Justice Joseph Ikyegh 5. Justice Samuel Oseji. Note who the Chair is. This woman is just sounding better and better! She, along with other members of the Panel, heard the petition for her to recuse herself, voted against it unanimously, then she recused herself anyway! Read what Atiku said about her: "Justice Bulkachuwa's action has increased the confidence the public have for the judiciary. "Her action showed courage and is an act of patriotism. She has, by this action, increased the confidence the public have for the judiciary. "Not only do I commend her, I also pray, especially in this holy month of Ramadan, that Justice will be done by the tribunal according to the fear of God and not in keeping with respect for the powers that be." |

9 people, perhaps, until 10 years later in 1129, when they were officially given recognition at the Council of Troyes and their influence grew. Their aim being to defend Jerusalem and to ensure the charitable giver a place in heaven. Remember indulgences - that age old trick of filling church coffers by selling tickets to heaven, which is known as 'tithes' in today's Nigeria? There is a lot of legend about them (lost ark, philosopher's stone, relic trading, 'Hiram Key', Chevalier Labhran de Saint Germain, Charles G. Addison etc), and a lot of spurious facts (spit on the cross, worship Baphomet etc), so they did have immense impact for their time, both economcal and in easing travel between the west and the east (I do understand that they did protect travellers with the invention, or rather, use of cheques, which significantly reduced financial loss of travellers, no doubt, for a fee). And they knew a lot (esoteric wise), as their TESTIS SVM AGNI - "Exist to Witness Wisdom" shows (albeit a later addition). And by God, Chartres Cathedral, amongst others - an amazing 'book' of wisdom in its own right, which as Masons, the Knight Templars were involved with. But as is usual, they stood on the shoulders of giants, and not much have I not found more accessibly approached from other directions, the legends, myths and discrediting being blinding, which makes me wonder if they themselves weren't a 'hiding' organisation (or one I've been unable to decipher), more than a 'light a lamp' one which is more easily accessible. I must say, "lost ark"? Doubt it. But hey, I said, "educate me". My research into them being almost 30 years old and my retention not being so good. Oh how I wish this was then! 1 Like |

It's amusing how some underestimate China's purchasing power. China does not buy loads from America but America sure buys loads from China, and a lot of American coys manufacture their and these tariffs are hurting like hell. Sale of cars collapse in China and and car companies are booking their biggest-ever annual loss, and I wouldn't be surprised if other products go south too. China telecom giant Huawei has taken over Apple’s market share in China. That’s just based on phones, which are all on Android. Wait until they roll out their own operating system for their own devices. Then Apple will need to reinvent something like the hologram phone before it ever recovers its China market. The same may be said for Apple throughout Asia. “At this pace, we expect Huawei to remain ahead of Apple at the end of 2019,” says Shobhit Srivastava, a research analyst for Asian business intel firm Counterpoint in Hong Kong. |

I would not underestimate China. Modern warfare would not be fought from military bases. They'd be fought with financial bullets and intellectual guns. It's not for nothing that they hold on to a huge portion of US debt. 5% of $22.03 trillion as of April 4, 2019 has quite a lot of ball squeezing potential. You might hear US squeeling "tariffs" already. |

They are actually smiling because they have not yet enjoyed the vast pleasures of the Nigerian Prison system. Nigerian jails are not for the fainthearted, one day inside will wipe those smiles off their faces.

Babacele:By studying, Baba. And reasoning. Though, if one hadn't learnt (through training, or self study) to 'decipher hieroglyphs' (not literally speaking), one wouldn't be able to. And one has to learn from somewhere, but still, one builds on it. You be amazed what can be learnt from studying Plato, for instance, or John Stuart Mills even. It is about the development of the mind which is done by not eating only bread (and adopting beliefs which rigid by their nature), but every Word God wrote (which teaches to reason by resolving contradictions and thereby squaring the circle). I bet if I checked your shelves, I'd find lots of nutrients on it. I'm working on the assumption that all you know was not given you but 'found' by you because you sought (seeked) for it. That you have found shows in your juicy delicious fruits. Here is something from Prince Rose Croix. The WORD is the Vehicle by which God acts on the Universe; the World of Ideas by means whereof God has created visible things; the more Ancient God, as compared with the Material World; Chief and General Representative of all Intelligences; the Arch-angel, type and representative of all spirits, even those of Mortals; the type of Man; the primitive man himself. These ideas are borrowed from Plato. And this WORD is not only the Creator ["by Him was everything made that was made"], but acts in the place of God; and through him act all the Powers and Attributes of God. And also, as first representative of the human race, he is the protector of Men and their Shepherd, the "Ben H’Adam," or Son of Man. And here's something about orign. The Fama Fraternitatis presents the legend of a German doctor and mystic philosopher referred to as "Father Brother C.R.C." (later identified in a third manifesto as Christian Rosenkreuz, or "Rose-cross" ). The year 1378 is presented as being the birth year of "our Christian Father", and it is stated that he lived 106 years. After studying in the Middle East under various masters, possibly adhering to Sufism, he was unable to spread the knowledge he had acquired to prominent European scientists and philosophers. Instead, he gathered a small circle of friends/disciples and founded the Rosicrucian Order (this can be deduced to have occurred around 1407). In his work "Silentium Post Clamores" (1617), the rosicrucian Michel Maier (1568–1622) described rosicrucianism as having arisen from a "Primordial Tradition" in the following statement: "Our origins are Egyptian, Brahmanic, derived from the mysteries of Eleusis and Samothrace, the Magi of Persia, the Pythagoreans, and the Arabs." Yet, none of it must be believed, but understood instead, as none of it is literal. 1 Like 1 Share |
