Bad money drives out good Bad news travels fast Barking dogs seldom bite Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Beauty is only skin deep Beggars should not be choosers Behind every great man there's a great woman Better late than never Better safe than sorry Better the Devil you know than the Devil you don't Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness Better to remain silent and be thought a fool that to speak and remove all doubt Beware of Greeks bearing gifts Big fish eat little fish Birds of a feather flock together Blood is thicker than water Boys will be boys Brevity is the soul of wit Business before pleasure (agendaweb)

A small glass of red wine every day could keep adult diabetes under control, scientists claimed last night. A new study found that the drink contains high concentrations of chemicals that help the body regulate levels of sugar in the blood. Just a small glass of red contained as many of these active ingredients as a daily dose of an anti-diabetic drug, the researchers found. Although the study didn't look at the effects of wine on people, its authors believe moderate drinking as part of a calorie controlled diet could protect against type 2 diabetes. However, their conclusions angered Diabetes UK who accused the researchers of making 'astonishingly bold suggestions' based on 'limited research'. The charity warned that wine was so high in calories it could lead to weight gain - outweighing any benefit. Around 2.6million people suffer from type 2 diabetes in Britain. The disease occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin - the hormone that reg...

The message of sacrifice is that those who are fortunate should help the less fortunate; the able should help the less able and the wealthy help the poor. Since there is always someone else less fortunate, less able and less wealthy than us, the obligation to sacrifice falls on everyone, except for the poorest of the poor. This year’s Day of Sacrifice comes on the heels of three devastating disasters inflicting our compatriots: the floods in Wasior/Papua; the earthquake/tsunami on Mentawai Island, West Sumatra; and the volcanic eruption of Mount Merapi, ...
