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

Juventus in talks to sign €10m Perin amid Buffon exit

The 25-year-old is coming off the back of a strong season with Genoa and is open to joining a bigger club in the close-season
Juventus are in talks to sign Mattia Perin from Genoa and are willing to pay around €10 million (£8.8m/$11.75m) to sign the goalkeeper.
The Turin side are looking to sign another shot-stopper this summer after Gianluigi Buffon confirmed he will leave at the end of the season and is now expected to sign for Paris Saint-Germain. 
Perin, 25, has been linked to Juve recently after Genoa president Enrico Preziosi revealed the Serie A champions and Napoli had enquired about him.

Juventus director Giuseppe Marotta insisted last week that his side had made no approach for him while also dismissing talk of the Bianconeri making an offer for AC Milan's troubled teenage shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
However, the Italian giants are hoping to lure the once-capped Perin to the Juventus Stadium by offering a five-year contract that will see him take home around €2.5m per season.
Perin has already stated he is open to a move this summer, having impressed since making his Genoa debut at the age of 18.
"I'm not afraid to go play in a big club or play the place for a place with another strong goalkeeper," he said recently.

"I've come to a point in my career where I want to test myself and I want to get out of the comfort zone. I can do that now because Genoa helped me to grow and develop. Now I want to get involved and find out how far I can go."
Juve's pursuit of Perin continues after coach Massimiliano Allegri who, after months of speculation surrounding a potential move to Arsenal, has decided to stay in Turin beyond this season after a meeting with the club's board.
Perin is not the first new star expected to head to Juve, either, as they look set to land Emre Can on a free transfer after his contract with Liverpool expires at the end of the season. The Germany international is expected to sign a five-year deal in Italy.

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
