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

Conte's coaching talent is not in question - Amelia backs Chelsea boss.

The coach and Mediaset Premium pundit has faith in his compatriot, despite the Blues failing to challenge for the title in his second season
Former Italy and Chelsea goalkeeper Marco Amelia has defended Antonio Conte, stating that few other coaches in Europe can match his record. 
Having won the Premier League in style during his first season at Stamford Bridge, Conte has come back down to earth in a tough second campaign. 
The Blues currently lie fifth, five points shy of Tottenham, while their Champions League dreams ended in the last 16 with defeat to Barcelona.

Those negative results have seen Conte come under pressure, but Amelia believes maintaining a place at the top of the Premier League is a thankless task.
"The Premier League is a very competitive championship, the level of the top teams is very high," Amelia explained to Goal.
"Antonio won the league in the first year, which is not easy, and to try to do that again was really a challenge because the two Manchester teams have invested a lot.
"The value of Conte as a coach is not in question, it is not a coincidence that he has many admirers around Europe.
"Chelsea are an extremely ambitious club and [owner Roman] Abramovich has always shown a lot of trust in his closest collaborators. I think it's still too early to guess what will happen next season."
Amelia spent a single season at Chelsea in 2015-16, deputising for Asmir Begovic and failing to make a single appearance before he left at the end of his contract. 
Nevertheless, he has fond memories of his short time in west London.

"It was one of my most beautiful football experiences. It was a fantastic life experience, the stadium is incredible, the atmosphere is always festive, people get to the stadium at the last minute," he added.
"Having worked with Mourinho, Hiddink and their staff has enriched me in every way. I shared the dressing room with champions like John Terry, Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois, Nemanja Matic, Cesc Fabregas, Asmir Begovic, Pedro, Willian, Diego Costa, John Obi Mikel, Gary Cahill, all fantastic guys who immediately made me feel one of them, always showing great respect because I had played for Milan and the Italian national team.
"I found a club of the highest level, organised in an extraordinary way, with a beautiful stadium. English football left an important mark on me and, in the future, the experience of managing an English club would be a dream come true."

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. However,  a few studies  have found that little evidence for a strong link between the consumption of saturated fat and cardiovascular disease. Note: It is technically more accurate to call saturated and unsaturated fats types of  fatty acids , as it is specifically the  fatty acid  found in a fat that is either saturated or unsaturated. However, referring to fatty acids as fats is common. Comparison chart Saturated Fats versus Unsaturated Fats comparison chart Saturated Fats Unsaturated Fats Type of bonds Cons
