CURRENT RESEARCH:
This research is very current because it's from the past year. According to the article Essential oils from the fruits and leaves of Juniperus sabina posses inhibitory activity against protein glycation and oxidative stress: an in vitro phytochemical investigation, there have been experiments conducted to inspect the properties of the oil of trees and fruits of the Juniperus sabina (Asgary et al., 2013). To obtain these oils, they would use steam distillation (this is a process used to separate different elements) and then analyze the gas that has been separated. All of the oils that were tested had antioxident properties, which are substances that prevent food from deteriorating. These oils also tested negative for having hemoglobin and insulin. The results from their studies have opened a whole window of possibilities. There are potential benefits that the oils from the Juniperus sabina will help prevent diabetes and even cardiovascular diseases (Asgary et al., 2013).

Creative Writing:
It's a late Sunday afternoon and the it's pouring outside. You're watching everyone from inside your favorite coffee shop. They scurry like caterpillars and beetles trying to find shelter and their shrub of a home. A small rock hits the window you're next to and it shatters into a needle-like pattern. Your nose starts to cringe after, and you can't imagine where that awful smell came from. Your mind starts to wander, and you realize your baby brother is turning five years old soon. It seems like just yesterday he was wrapped in a little blue ball, trying to protect and keep him warm. All of a sudden, your waitress puts your mug down and you snap back into reality. The extra spice added to your tea was perfect for your upset stomach. Once the tea is all gone, you gather up all of your items and head for the door; getting ready to embrace this rain. As you walk out the door, you hear a waitress yell "thanks for stopping by Juniper Java! We'll see you soon!" Even a little mite needs to sit back, relax, and enjoy some tea from a Tam Juniper.
