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

Anthony Joshua looking for Wladimir Klitschko's 'learning' as Deontay Wilder competition heightens.

Anthony Joshua wants to tap into Wladimir Klitschko’s “boxing encyclopedia” brain as he plots his route to becoming the undisputed world heavyweight champion.
Joshua stunned Klitschko in a memorable Wembley battle last year and his attentions have since turned to adding Deontay Wilder's WBC belt to his IBF, WBA and WBO gold.
"If [Klitschko] can give me a little bit of his knowledge, I think it will spur me on to do better than I project," Joshua said.

If [Klitschko] can give me a little bit of his knowledge, I think it will spur me on to do better than I project.

Anthony Joshua
"I need him on my side, definitely. I have so much respect for him.
"His brain is like a boxing encyclopedia.
 
"I will always look at [Klitschko], even though I beat him, as the better man because he's done more than me.
"Even though I beat him that night, in terms of his overall career, he's done so much. I will always take my hat off to him, and respect him."
Klitschko's comeback after losing early fights is inspiration for Joshua, who is unbeaten in 21 after beating Joseph Parker last month.
"[Klitschko] was in the era when mistakes were looked at as a way to improve yourself," Joshua said. "He lost [three] times then reigned as heavyweight champion for 10 years.
"That's phenomenal - he must have learned so much.
"When you fail, then you go again, then you fail, then you go again - he built himself to perfection."

Joshua's aim of fighting Wilder with every major belt on the line will be discussed at a meeting next week, Sky Sports were told.
"I'm going to look to meet up with [Wilder's representatives] in New York, get face to face with them, look into the whites of their eyes, and just see if we can make a deal," Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn said.
"We've made an offer that we feel is substantial, if not we're happy to talk about the numbers and look at their ideas as well."

Joshua expressed his annoyance with trash talk from Wilder and Tyson Fury, whose comeback from a two-and-a-half-year absence was confirmed last week.
"When you're a fighter you can't let certain things slide," he said last week.
"Even though I try to keep it professional and I don't want to bite back, I've got that fight instinct. Sometimes you need to give as good as you get.
"I'd rather do it face to face. That's what I'm waiting for. That's what I've always said."

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
