Frogs have very short spines to withstand the strain of the huge leaps they take. A fish’s spine allows it to bend its body from side to side so it can swim smoothly. Snakes are incredibly bendy thanks to many identical vertebrae forming their long spines. Most animals have a backbone and are called “vertebrates”. Animals with no spine, like spiders and bugs, are called “invertebrates”.<br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5inPyzes09LrGGNduanPcG49w9-keQ6-URS8dYCkfcCAbR5RlWRddWNf_mHaeL4Y_Gsh_Cbp5irCD4Q3zQEeIkGv9Mg7y2nTCw-WEPqfiZS2_Wz2NEbNgedKBxXN5gnWHZEy8RczF1M0/s1600/human-frog-fish-snake-spine.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5inPyzes09LrGGNduanPcG49w9-keQ6-URS8dYCkfcCAbR5RlWRddWNf_mHaeL4Y_Gsh_Cbp5irCD4Q3zQEeIkGv9Mg7y2nTCw-WEPqfiZS2_Wz2NEbNgedKBxXN5gnWHZEy8RczF1M0/s1600/human-frog-fish-snake-spine.jpg" /></a><br /> <br /> 206 bones - There are 206 bones in an adult skeleton.

Diabetes Care with Cinnamon

True cinnamon <i>(Cinnamomum verum)</i> is native to the island of Sri Lanka. Cassia, or Chinese cinnamon <i>(C. cassia)</i>, is a close relative cultivated in Vietnam, China, and Indonesia. Both varieties come from the fragrant inner bark of a tree belonging to the laurel family. Cinnamon was a precious commodity that was traded extensively throughout the ancient world. The Egyptians prized it as an essential ingredient in embalming mixtures used to perfume and preserve the dead. Moses of the Old Testament added it to a holy oil for anointing. In Rome during the first century <span class="small">A.D.</span>, cinnamon was at least 15 times more expensive than silver, and centuries later it was still costly. Only the very wealthy in medieval Europe could afford this expensive spice, for which demand was high and supply low. A desire to monopolize the cinnamon trade prompted European expansion into Asia in the 16th and 17th centuries. Eventually, cinnamon became more widely available and affordable.<br /> <br /> <h2 class="section" id="c09-s01"> <b>Therapeutic Uses</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Diabetes</i></div> <div class="extract"> Cinnamon may be especially important to people with diabetes. Mainly the bark is used medicinally. A polyphenol compound—with the tongue-twisting name methylhydroxychalcone—is found in cassia cinnamon. It is this compound that may be responsible for cinnamon’s main medical benefit: lowering blood sugar in people with diabetes. The compound seems to affect insulin receptors and aid in the formation of glycogen, or stored sugar. Cinnamon also has antibacterial effects (from the essential oil) and antioxidant effects (from the polyphenols), the latter probably helping with some of the complications of diabetes.</div> <div class="indent"> <span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><a href="http://robust-chemical.com/lemari-asam-fume-hood-based-on-wooden-structure/" rel="nofollow">lemari asam harga</a> .adv</span> - Cassia cinnamon has been studied in clinical trials, primarily by looking at fasting blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Although one study found improvements in fasting blood sugar (as much as 29 percent in some cases) and cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes, other studies have found no effect. It may be that cinnamon works better in people whose diabetes is poorly controlled, but there may be other factors, such as genetics and medications, that explain why sometimes cinnamon helps and other times it doesn’t. </div> <h2 class="section" id="c09-s02"> <b>How to Use</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Powder:</i> For diabetics, powdered cinnamon spice is an option—but for positive effects on blood sugar levels it is necessary to use approximately 1 teaspoon daily. The common spice purchased in grocery stores is not necessarily cassia cinnamon.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Capsule:</i> Cinnamon capsules range in dose and suggested use; studies on type 1 and 2 diabetics used 1 to 6 g cinnamon a day, taken in divided doses.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c09-s03"> <b>Precautions</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> Cinnamon is well tolerated, though the volatile oil can cause a skin rash. Cassia and other cinnamons contain small amounts of coumarin; blood-thinning and liver problems generally occur with this compound only if large amounts are taken over long periods. To be safe, caution is advised for anyone with liver problems. Due to its blood-thinning effects, people should stop taking cinnamon in quantities greater than use as a spice at least one week prior to surgery. Medicinal doses are not recommended during pregnancy. Close monitoring of blood sugar levels in diabetics is warranted to avoid unsafe lowering of blood sugar.</div>

Afars - Horn of Africa

Most of them live in the countries of DJIBOUTI, ETHIOPIA, and ERITREA. The territory, once known as the French Territory of the Afars and Issas, became Djibouti in 1977, when France gave the people their independence. Although most Afars live in the desert, some live in the Awash Valley and the forests of northern Djibouti. They number about 1.4 million in all. The name Afar comes from the first two letters of Africa and Arabia.<br /> <br /> The Afars are a cohesive group and did not like having their territory broken up into the countries of Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Eritrea. The Afars in Djibouti are outnumbered by the Issas and were unhappy with the Issa leadership. There was much unrest among the Afars during the 1990s, but a peace accord was finally signed in 2001. Djibouti is important because of its strategic position at the mouth of the RED SEA. It serves as a port for goods leaving and entering eastern Africa.<br /> <br /> <span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><a href="http://robust-chemical.com/lemari-asam-fume-hood-based-on-wooden-structure/" rel="nofollow">lemari asam kimia</a> .adv</span> - Although peace now reigns in Djibouti, the Afars are the target of economic and political discrimination. The Afar people are tall and proud, with narrow, straight noses, thin lips, and small, pointed chins. The Afars are known as fierce fighters. They have managed to survive under the worst conditions in one of the hottest areas in the world. The Issas are their main enemies. A man is judged on his bravery and strength among the Afars.<br /> <br /> The Afars subsist mostly on a diet of bread and milk, and many are malnourished. They are often anemic and are prone to malaria  because of their poor diets. Historically a pastoral people, over half of the Afars live a nomadic life, moving their livestock wherever<br /> they can find grazing. They raise sheep, goats, camels, and cattle. Rainfall is sparse in the area, so the people are forced to move often in search of grass for their animals. Both droughts and floods have had a negative effect on the economy of the Afars. Some Afars living along the Red Sea fish for a living. The Afars have also mined salt for many years and export it to Ethiopia.<br /> <br /> Most Afars embrace the Muslim religion, which differentiates them from other tribes in the <a href="http://www.articlemostwanted.com/2013/05/afars-horn-of-africa.html">Horn of Africa</a>  that are Christian. Muslim practices are supplemented with ancient animist customs as well. <br /> <br /> <i>BIBLIOGRAPHY. “African Tribes: Afar People,” African People and Culture, www.africaguide.com (November 2004); World Factbook (CIA, 2004); “A Future in Arabic,” www.saudiaramcoworld.com (November 2004); L.
