J. Martinez and Co. Encourages Coffee Lovers to Experience Authentic Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee

Grown in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is known for its mild flavor and lack of bitterness.

2012-03-15

ATLANTA, GA, March 15, 2012 (Press-News.org) The reputation developed by Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee has made it one of the most desirable and expensive coffees in the world. Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica is known to have a mild and balanced flavor and lack the bitterness often found in lesser coffees. J. Martinez & Company is one of few companies given the right to import Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee.

Blue Mountain Coffee is protected by a global certification mark, meaning that steps have been taken to ensure that only authentic Blue Mountain coffee, grown in a specific region of the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, can be labeled with the Blue Mountain name.

Since 1988, Martinez & Company has been a certified approved importer of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica. The Coffee Industry Board is the governing body established to protect both the quality and the reputation of Jamaica's world famous coffee.

The Certification of Approved Importers is part of a system of controls which are strictly enforced by the board to ensure the product gets to the end-user in the consumer nation intact. J Martinez & Company is one of only six Approved Importers of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee in the United States.

"It is a great honor," explains John Martinez, "to be trusted as one of the very few to import this legendary coffee to the United States. Unfortunately, much of the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee carried by other distributors is blended with other coffees. There is really no comparison between the pure Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee that we carry and a 'Jamaican Blue Mountain Blend.'"

J. Martinez & Company carries Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee from two different estates, in medium or dark roasts. For more information, visit http://www.martinezfinecoffees.com/.

Current water resources in Europe and Africa

2012-03-15

A new assessment of available water resources, published today by the Joint Research Centre (JRC), reveals that large areas in Spain and Eastern Europe have on average less than 200 mm freshwater available every year while the demand for water is three to ten times higher. The report 'Current Water Resources in Europe and Africa' shows variations in yearly freshwater generation from 10 mm to over 500 mm for Europe and from less than 0.1 mm to over 500 mm for Africa. The report outlines existing uncertainties and points to further research efforts needed for improved water ...

Voters prefer candidates with deep voices

2012-03-15

CORAL GABLES, FL (March 14, 2012)--Convincing speeches are central to campaigning for elected office, but do our voices affect how we select our leaders? A newly-published paper in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences shows that men and women vote for male and female candidates with lower-pitched voices. Men and women with lower voices were also found to be perceived as more competent, stronger, and more trustworthy. Each of these attributes is known to influence voters. "Our study asks how voice pitch influences electability, and to my knowledge is ...

JAMA study finds patients with stroke symptoms are still not calling 911

2012-03-15

NEW YORK (March 14, 2012) -- Nationwide ambulance use by patients suffering from a stroke has not changed since the mid-1990s, even though effective stroke treatments are now available. In a study published in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), researchers at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center found that the number of stroke victims transported via ambulance has remained relatively static over the years, highlighting the need for more education about stroke symptoms and the importance of early intervention. The study, ...

An evolutionary surprise

2012-03-15

WOODS HOLE, MA—The origin of the exquisitely complex vertebrate brain is somewhat mysterious. "In terms of evolution, it basically pops up out of nowhere. You don't see anything anatomically like it in other animals," says Ariel Pani, an investigator at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole and a graduate student at the University of Chicago. But this week in the journal Nature, Pani and colleagues report finding some of the genetic processes that regulate vertebrate brain development in (of all places) the acorn worm, a brainless, burrowing marine invertebrate ...

How cancer cells start new tumor sites

2012-03-15

MAYWOOD, Il. -- A Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine study has revealed details of the complex molecular process involving a protein that enables cancer cells to establish tumors in distant parts of the body. The finding could lead the way to new drugs to prevent breast cancer and other cancers from spreading to new sites. The study by Adriano Marchese, PhD and colleagues is published in the March 16 issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, and is now available online. The study involves a molecule on the surface of cells called CXCR4. There is ...

New labor-tracking tool proposed to reduce C-sections in first-time moms

2012-03-15

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Researchers have designed a new version of a labor-tracking tool for pregnant women that they predict could reduce the use of hormonal intervention during labor and lower the number of cesarean sections performed on low-risk, first-time mothers. The tool, called a partograph, takes into account the most recent research findings that suggest labor is not a linear process, but is instead slower during earlier labor and accelerates gradually as labor advances. A diagnosis of abnormally slow labor is the No. 1 reason that C-sections are performed in low-risk ...

I&K International Announces Rise in Sales of Male Grooming Products

2012-03-15

I&K International has announced a significant increase in sales of products from its men's range. The surge in sales is believed to have been a direct result of the addition of new men's products over the last few years, as well as a general increase in the amount of attention men are paying to grooming. Indeed, the company has saw a 60% rise in the number of men buying these products when compared to the same time last year. These figures would seem to indicate that men are paying more attention to their physical appearance and grooming than ever before, and Kevin ...

Size isn't everything -- it's how sharp you are

2012-03-15

For 300 million years, Earth's oceans teemed with conodonts – early vertebrates that kept their skeleton in their mouth. The elements of this skeleton look uncannily like teeth (see image) and, like teeth, they were often worn and broken during life. This evidence strongly suggests that conodonts evolved the first vertebrate dentitions. Scientists know that conodont elements worked differently from the teeth of other animals: they are microscopic – about 2 to 0.2 mm long – and must have had paltry muscles to move them, with no jaws to which they could attach. So how ...

UCI-led study uncovers how Salmonella avoids the body's immune response

2012-03-15

Irvine, Calif., March 14, 2012 — UC Irvine researchers have discovered how Salmonella, a bacterium found in contaminated raw foods that causes major gastrointestinal distress in humans, thrives in the digestive tract despite the immune system's best efforts to destroy it. Their findings help explain why Salmonella is difficult to eradicate and point to new approaches for possible treatments. Most people infected with Salmonella suffer from diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps for up to seven days before the infection resolves. Lead researcher Manuela Raffatellu, a UCI ...

The Brazilian Navy faces its worst enemy in WWI: The Spanish flu

2012-03-15

Few people know about the participation of Brazil in Word War I. Although Brazil remained neutral during most of the conflict, it eventually sent a fleet to support the war effort against the central powers. It was the only Latin-American country to do so. But the Brazilian expedition encountered an unexpected and treacherous enemy in the African coast against which -like all other Armies- it was not prepared for: the Spanish flu. The Spanish flu swept the globe in 1918-1919 and in a few months made more victims than the total number of battlefield deaths during the ...
