World markets dive as Trump sparks trade, North Korea worries

Global stocks sank Wednesday after US President Donald Trump said he was not satisfied with talks that are aimed at averting a trade war with China. Equities were also dented by poor eurozone economic data, and as Trump cast doubt on a planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “Trump (is) continuing to drive uncertainty over global trade,” said analyst Joshua Mahony at trading firm IG. “European markets are following their Asian counterparts lower, as a pessimistic tone from Trump is compounded by downbeat economic data,” he added. Markets had surged Monday after US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He said they had agreed to pull back from imposing threatened tariffs on billions of dollars of goods, and continue talks on a variety of trade issues. However, Trump has declared that he was “not satisfied” with the status of the talks, fuelling worries that the world’s top two economies could still slug out an economically pain

Torino appoint former Watford coach Mazzarri.

Former Inter Milan and Watford coach Walter Mazzarri was handed the reins at Torino on Thursday after the Serie A side sacked Sinisa Mihajlovic.
Mihajlovic was fired following Torino’s 2-0 Italian Cup defeat to holders Juventus, allowing the experienced 56-year-old to take over the northern side.
“Torino Football Club announces that it has entrusted the role of coach of the first team to Mr Walter Mazzarri,” a statement on the club’s website confirmed.
It said Mazzarri began work immediately and took charge of training on Thursday.
Torino had earlier confirmed Mihajlovic’s departure after 18 months in charge, thanking the 48-year-old and his staff “for their commitment and passion”.
Torino slumped out of the Italian Cup to Juventus amid controversy in the Allianz Stadium midweek after goals from Douglas Costa and Mario Mandzukic.
Mihajlovic had been banished from the sidelines during the game as he protested Mandzukic’s second-half goal which came after a Sami Khedira challenge on Ghana international Afriyie Acquah.
He paid for Torino’s recent form which has left the club tenth in Serie A with just five wins in 19 games this season including six draws in their last eight league games.
Mazzarri arrives just in time for the January transfer window.
Torino play Bologna, just below them in Serie A on Saturday, in their last game until January 21, before a two-week break.
Mihajlovic joined Torino in the summer of 2016, having been sacked by AC Milan in April that year.
He previously managed Bologna, Catania, Fiorentina, Sampdoria and the Serbia national team.
Mazzarri was sacked by Watford last May after just one season in England despite ensuring the club’s Premier League survival.
The cigar-loving Italian has plenty of experience in his home country having previously coached top flight clubs including Sampdoria, Napoli and Inter Milan.
He has reportedly signed a contract with Torino until 2020.

Saturated Fats vs. Unsaturated Fats.

Saturated Fats vs. Unsaturated Fats Diffen  ›  Food  ›  Diet & Nutrition The human body needs both  saturated fats  and  unsaturated fats  to remain healthy. Most dietary recommendations suggest that, of the daily intake of fat, a higher proportion should be from unsaturated fats, as they are thought to promote  good cholesterol  and help prevent cardiovascular disease, whereas an overabundance of saturated fats is thought to promote bad cholesterol.
