Taking regular lunchtime siestas could increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, according to research.

The study of 16,480 people, found those who napped were 26% more likely to get the condition than those who did not.

Several factors which may be behind the link included disrupted night-time sleep and an association between napping and reduced physical activity.

But a conference in Glasgow will hear that factors like genetics and being overweight are more significant.

The researchers will tell delegates at the Diabetes UK event that napping during the day may disrupt night-time sleep.

WTF!??!? Coffee taster's tongue worth £10m The tongue of the chief coffee taster for a worldwide chain of coffee shops has been insured for £10m ($13.95m). Gennaro Pelliccia personally tastes a sample of each batch of raw coffee beans at its London plant before they are roasted and shipped to its stores. "My 18 years of experience enable me to distinguish between thousands of flavours," he says. Costa Coffee, which sells 108 million cups of coffee worldwide each year, aims to double its number of outlets. The insurance policy was taken out with Lloyds of London. "The taste buds of a Master of Coffee are as important as the vocal cords of a singer or the legs of a top model, and this is one of the biggest single insurance policies taken out for one person," said a spokesman for Lloyd's broker Glencairn Limited, which arranged the insurance cover. "In my profession my taste buds and sensory skills are crucial... and allow me to distinguish any defects," said Mr Pelliccia.

Greenies, oh they make me laugh. I will admit to being 'green' when it suits me, on my terms, I will recycle however I will happily jump on an aeroplane at any opportunity I get. I have no idea if what I actually recycle even gets recycled. These people want to stop the new runway at Heathrow, they can fuck off, I am all for it. Better air travel, hopefully cheaper in the long run, more tourists which is again better for the economy. Just for greenies; Cattle are responsible for about 3.5% of US greenhouse gas emissions, on a CO2 equivalent basis. To keep this in perspective: 2% of greenhouse gas production is in the form of methane from garbage decomposing in landfills. Roughly 2% is chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) from air conditioners, refrigerators and industrial processes. Other industrial processes (especially cement manufacture) produce about 2%. Burning jet fuel accounts for more than 3%. 12% of greenhouse gas emissions are CO2 emitted generating electricity which is used in residential applications like lighting, TVs, computers, and refrigerators. 17% came from burning gasoline in cars and trucks.
