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

The long list of Man Utd problems that Alexis won't solve.

The Chile international has added to United's raft of option in attack but they have increasing issues to address in other areas The excitement and anticipation of seeing Alexis Sanchez start in a thrilling Manchester United forward line lasted all of 10.48 seconds on Wednesday night. Jose Mourinho would later pinpoint the four errors his team made in that short period of time which set them up for a chastening defeat to Tottenham, but that was just the start of United’s defensive rap sheet on a night to forget. With Alexis lining up alongside Romelu Lukaku, Anthony Martial, Paul Pogba and the in-form Jesse Lingard in the attacking half of the field, this was meant to be a night they showed what a threat they can be to opposition defences. Instead it was a demonstration of all the issues United have when they don’t have possession. Their failings were irrefutably exacerbated by Pogba’s worst showing in a United shirt as he went missing for the majority of the game and was

Dzeko flattered by Chelsea interest but 'Rome is home'.

Antonio Conte's side made an attempt to sign the 31-year-old in the January transfer window but he feels comfortable in Rome and is happy to stay Edin Dzeko has admitted he was flattered by Chelsea's attempts to sign him in January, but could not bring himself to leave Roma. The Blues targeted the striker as they sought a backup option for Alvaro Morata, but their  initial bid was deemed "not interesting"  by Roma technical director Monchi. After signing Emerson Palmieri from the Italian side, Chelsea remained hopeful of luring Dzeko to the capital until the final days of the transfer window but eventually  turned their attention to other options and signed Olivier Giroud  from Arsenal.

No Alcohol In Islam And The Flawed Knowledge About Its Benefit For The Heart - Islam for Muslims .

It is affirmed by Islamic sharee’ah that it came to bring and increase good things, and to ward off and reduce harmful things. Whatever is beneficial or mostly beneficial is permissible (halaal) and whatever is harmful or mostly harmful is forbidden (haraam). Alcohol undoubtedly falls into the second category. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “They ask you (O Muhammad) concerning alcoholic drink and gambling. Say: In them is a great sin, and (some) benefits for men, but the sin of them is greater than their benefit” [al-Baqarah 2:219] The harmful and evil effects of alcohol are well known to all people, to knowledgeable and ignorant alike. Among the harmful effects of alcohol is that which was mentioned by Allaah (interpretation of the meaning): “O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al‑Ansaab (stone altars for sacrifices to idols, jinn, etc), and Al‑Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan’s (S

1,000 South African Gold Miners Stuck Underground .

Over 1,000 miners were stuck underground at Beatrix gold mine in South Africa after a storm knocked out power, but authorities say they were not in danger. Spokesman James Wellsted said the miners were safe and receiving food and water while power was being restored to the mine but there was not yet enough to bring the miners to the surface. The National Union of Mineworkers said 65 mineworkers had been rescued but more than 1,000 remained underground. “There is no electricity there, so they are using a generator to power the cage to take workers to the surface. The problem is they are rescuing one mineworker at a time. It is very slow. It is worrying. Some of our members have chronic conditions and they don’t have medication down there” NUM spokesman Livhuwani Mammburu told Reuters.

The 7 Strong Candidates That Are Ready To Take Over From President Buhari.

Some eminent politicians especially from the north have indicated interest to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019. Here is a list of seven Nigerians who have indicated interest to contest in the upcoming 2019 Presidential election and possible dislodge President Muhammadu Buhari from his current position. Here are seven of those according to Pulse report. 1. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso Pulse attended a ‘Kwankwasiyya’ event in Lagos last year where this former Governor of Kano State made it clear he’ll be throwing his red cap into the presidential ring one more time. Kwankwaso has been weighing his options as it pertains to which political party to pitch tent with. At the moment, he remains an unsettled member of the governing APC.

6 Tips for Writing a Persuasive Speech (On Any Topic).

By far, the best way to learn how to write speeches is to read the great ones, from Pericles’ Funeral Oration, to Dr. King’s Mountaintop speech, to Faulkner’s Nobel acceptance address. But if you’re looking for some quick tips, here are a few things to bear in mind next time you’re asked to give a speech: 1. Write like you talk.  There is no First Law of Speechwriting, but if there were, it would probably be something like this: a speech is meant to be spoken, not read. That simple (and obvious) fact has a few important (and less obvious) implications. Use short words. Write short sentences. Avoid awkward constructions that might cause a speaker to stumble.  Tip: Read the speech aloud as you’re writing. If you do it enough, you’ll start hearing the words when you type them. 2. Tell a story . I once wrote speeches for a governor whose aide told me: speechwriting is about slinging soundbites together. That approach is a recipe for writing neither good speeches nor good soundbite
