Answer to Question 1

Alchemists were great contributors to distillation as they created potions, perfumes, and elixirs. In 1250, Arnaud de Villeneuve is said to be the first to distill wine in Francecreating a liquid he called eau-de-vie or in Medieval Latin, aqua vitaeboth meaning water of life as the alcohol was often thought to contribute to the virtues of living a long and fruitful life.

Answer to Question 2

According to a resolution passed by the U.S. Senate, Bourbon can be made anywhere in the United States, but it cannot be made outside of the United States. There are four defining agents that distinguish Bourbon from other American whiskeysBourbon must be:

 made from a mash that is at least 51 percent corn

 made from no other additives, other than water

 distilled no more than 160 proof, but enters the barrel at no more than 125 proof

 aged for a minimum of 2 years in charred new white oak barrels

Geographically, Tennessee is very close to Kentucky; therefore, it makes sense that the whiskey made in the two states would maintain similar characteristics. The main distinction between the two spirits Tennessee whiskey is maple charcoal filteredthis contributes a maple aroma and flavor that bourbon does not have though almost every other aspect of their production is similar to each other.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
