(NewsUSA) – In a world of constant upheaval, cognac makers have always taken pride in how their centuries-old techniques never change. So it’s big news that these days the brandy — which originates in the Cognac region of France — is enjoying quite the renaissance among bar and restaurant patrons of all age groups, cultures and regions.
“Cognac is really gaining ground with the recent cocktail renaissance hitting bars across the country,” says Todd Appel, a master barman in Chicago, Ill. “It is such a timeless and elegant spirit
– not to mention, it appeals to such a wide range of tastes, such as bourbon and scotch drinkers, whether ordered neat, on the rocks or in cocktails — that bartenders are turning to it more and more often.”
Here are a few things to keep in mind when ordering cognac:
* There are three grades of cognac: Very Special (V.S.), which is aged two years; Very Superior Old Pale (V.S.O.P.), which is aged four years; and Extra Old (X.O.), which is aged six years.
* The younger varieties (V.S. & V.S.O.P.) work better in cocktails. Older, more mature cognacs are better consumed neat.
Why the resurgence in this beverage’s appeal? Well, according to spirit aficionados and experts, it’s in large part thanks to the emergence of new ranges of the amber liquid that defy the drink’s image as a spirit best enjoyed in the winter months. In fact, not only are two of the latest stand-outs — the aromatic CAMUS Elegance V.S. and V.S.O.P. — perfect year-round given their distinctive smoothness, aroma and overall elegance, but they’re ideal for making cocktails taste like nothing you’ve ever experienced before.
If you’re really looking for a treat, try the CAMUS Pink Love cocktail below, which Appel says is perfect before, during or after dinner.

Quick Fixes for Your Slow Computer
Computers are indispensable, but as soon as they slow down and problems arise, computers become a confusion-ridden technological beast.
The doom-signaling hourglass or pinwheel may not be so intimidating for computer-savvy individuals, but the majority of computer owners don’t understand them. PCs and Macs alike can slow down after a few years of use, and knowing what steps to take in that situation can save money on repairs and diagnostics. When troubleshooting a slow computer, there are a number of possible issues you can eliminate by going through a few steps.
A Safety Deposit Box for Your Health
(NewsUSA) – As any financial consultant will advise, storing your finances and treasures in a secure bank isn’t just sensible, it’s imperative. People with means bank their savings, jewels, important documents and now, their stem cells.
“Think of it as a safety deposit box for your health,” says John Arnone, CEO of American CryoStem, one of the only adult stem cell banks in the world. “People rely on banks for financial security, and with the growing possibilities of stem cells and regenerative medicine, this concept allows people to bank for their future health, too.”
Fat tissue contains a surplus of viable adult stem cells, which are at the crux of regenerative medicine. While cosmetic surgeons have seen their patient numbers grow across the U.S., the focus has only been on extraction and reuse of the liposuction fat on a patient. Now because of American CryoStem’s method of processing and storage, fat tissue can be made into viable and useful adult stem cells. These stem cells can now be banked and used for better overall health in the future.
According to a report from the Department of Health and Human Services, medical technology is going through a revolution that could yield cures for diseases like diabetes, heart attacks, arthritis, osteoporosis, cancer, spinal cord injuries and more.
“American CryoStem has created a cryopreservation process that allows adults to store their stem cells now and retrieve them for treatment when necessary,” says Arnone. “This type of regenerative medicine could enable medical breakthroughs for any condition resulting from damaged or failing tissue.”
The stem cell extraction process is quick and painless,
taking place at any local American CryoStem provider’s office. The fat sample goes through a secure chain of custody until it is safely preserved in a FDA-approved facility. Banking ensures that a more youthful cell age is captured, and it also prevents any chance of cell rejections in the future.

Transform Lipo Fat Into Future Health Insurance
(NewsUSA) – Nearly everything can be recycled and repurposed for later use — even medical waste. Now, liposuction fat leftovers can be turned into adult stem cells, which can be stored as a tangible form of "bio-insurance" for the future."The evidence strongly suggests that fat stem cells can stimulate the repair process after a heart attack," said American stem cell researcher Douglas Losordo, MD, of the regenerative medicine program at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.In addition to a heart attack, leftover lipo fat can offer a solution in the event of over 100 life-threatening diseases. For families with a history of diabetes, heart disease or neurological disorders, stem cells from fat may offer treatment options unavailable to others.Body fat is an abundant, renewable resource. Research shows that fat, or adipose tissue, is actually a better source of adult stem cells. It’s concentration can be up to 1,000 times greater than what can be extracted from bone marrow, it’s easily accessible and a less invasive procedure. Adipose tissue is currently discarded after liposuction when it could be put to better use. Storing today is essential because as you age, so do your stem cells, limiting their potential for future use.Beneath this umbrella of medical potential, the first adipose adult stem cell bank, American CryoStem, is providing a service and facility to store adult stem cells for future health applications. With American CryoStem providers, a viable fat sample can be extracted from a patient in a simple process taking less than 30 minutes. American CryoStem’s clinical laboratory then isolates the stem cells from the body fat, and the sample is immediately tested for sterility and cell viability. Afterward, the sample is prepared for long-term storage and secured at a FDA-compliant cryopreservation facility.Despite the startling possibilities of regenerative medicine, it’s greatly under-utilized in the U.S. Currently, American CryoStem is the only bank focusing solely on the storage of adipose-derived adult stem cells.To be notified when services become available in your area, pre-enroll with American CryoStem at www.americancryostem.com/pre-enroll-now today.

Adult Stem Cell Research Unlocking New Medical Potential
Throughout research labs and clinical trials across the country, adult stem cells are emerging to offer a variety of medical solutions. While some applaud the shift away from embryonic stem cells, others are still uncertain about the real applicability of adult stem cell research.
Despite the array of misconceptions and caution surrounding regenerative medicine as a whole, shocking and promising discoveries are being made about cell therapies. One such discovery is the ability to extract adult stem cells from body fat, cryogenically preserve them in a stem cell bank to capture your current cell age and use them for personal treatment later on.
Top 3 New Products: Simple Solutions to Common Problems

Below is a list of the top three new products that offer simple solutions to common problems:1. Pop-up Microlite. This product is so simple that it gets the "Why Didn’t I Think of That?" award. The Pop-up Microlite is the only light you can buy that illuminates what you stick it to. It is one of the smallest LED lights available with a footprint the size of a nickel. When turned on, it pops up and aims light downward to illuminate the surface it’s stuck to, whereas other stick-on lights shine light away from where they are attached. They work great for illuminating TV remote controls, keypads, breaker panels, keyholes, thermostats, emergency kits and the backside of computers. Their small size and unique ability to illuminate what they are stuck to makes them useful in many different ways. For more information, visit www.PopupMicrolite.com.2. Ride-On Carry-On. Traveling with small children is always a challenge, but even more so when flying.

The Incredible Life-Saving Belly Fat
(NewsUSA) – Most people tend to loathe their belly fat, and they’ll expend serious effort to see it disappear. But most people also don’t know that their belly fat contains adult stem cells capable of healing almost anything. They can regrow tissue, form a new breast for post-cancer reconstruction or regenerate skin and muscles of wounded soldiers.
Adult stem cells are the new medicine for the 21st century, and they have yielded far more successful trials than embryonic stem cells. One company has enabled the potential of adult stem cells to create a future solution for families. American CryoStem is the first stem cell bank to focus exclusively on adult stem cells isolated from adipose tissue, a.k.a. body fat.
“Body fat can be medically extracted by certified professionals and turned into viable stem cell samples. These adult stem cells can not only be used to regenerate tissue, they can also reconstruct many types of injuries and defects,” says Richard Jacoby, MD, laboratory director of American CryoStem Corporation. “Adult stem cells are unspecialized, so they can be induced and guided to develop into specific nerves, bone, cartilage or organs.”
With American CryoStem, collecting body fat at a participating local doctor’s office is a simple process requiring less than 30 minutes. The adipose tissue is then shipped to the American CryoStem laboratory facility for processing and tested for sterility and stem cell viability. Individual cell samples are then stored at the company’s long-term cryo-storage facility. Each client sample is continuously monitored, from collection and processing to storage, to create an unbreakable, secure chain of custody. This continuous monitoring and tracking ensure that each client’s adult stem cell sample can be retrieved, and shipped anywhere in the world within 24 hours for a variety of medical applications: skin grafts, reconstructive surgery, transplants and beyond.
American CryoStem isn’t only offering long-term storage, it is offering a form of bio-insurance
– a solution for thousands of people battling afflictions. Only your own cells are a perfect genetic match, leaving no room for cellular rejection.
