This is the aerobic metabolism (which needs oxygen). However, athletes run short distances have developed an anaerobic metabolism, i.e., they are capable to produce energy quickly without having to wait for oxygen.

I climbed into the third section of the run down 2014 jet black Tahoe, Ms.Morring in the driver seat, family friend Tanisha in the passenger, Tanisha’s daughter and our friend Darius in the second section, and me and Terraé in the third. The car ride was full of laughter and sing-a-longs with plenty of freeway until we finally got off, although we still had plenty of ground to cover. There was farm after farm, cow after cow and so many different roadside stands selling either fruits, vegetables or pies. It was obvious we were in the countryside part of Ohio by now. We even passed by an outside go-kart place that we all started making plans to come back to before the summer was over. It still took about thirty minutes to get to the house where the woman we were getting the puppy from lived, but once pulling up in the driveway and opening the door, we were bumrushed with the tiniest puppies and kittens any of us had laid our eyes on. We were greeted by a short, Caucasian lady named Amber, who told us that Terraé could pick whatever puppy her heart desired.

...“Jeanette why do you feed the calves that kind of milk?” said my little cousin. My little cousins use to drive me crazy when I would feed my calves, because they would always interrogate me about feeding calves. So in a way, this essay is in response to their always asking why I feed the calves the way I do. Caring for the calves has always been my chore on the farm. I was not only responsible for their overall health and making sure they were not sick, but I was also in charge of tending to the calves; which included feeding them milk, water, and grain. When a calf is first born we feed them milk for two months. For the first four to five days after a calf is born I feed them milk from their mother in a bottle. It is vital for them to be fed their mother’s milk because the first milk, called colostrum, contains elevated levels of vital vitamins and antibodies that the calf needs to grow properly. After the calf is approximately six days old, sometimes a few days earlier depending on the calf, I start feeding the calf from a bucket with milk replacer. Milk replacer is powdered milk with vitamins and minerals that needs to have water added to it. I usually mix up the milk replacer in a bucket with a cooking whisk. The bucket, when full, will...

So we seat at a table and the waitress comes and gives us the menu. Everyone chose their food and drinks and we were waiting for our food. While we were waiting for our food a group of about 3 people came to the restaurant, they sat at the table next to us, they were not Hungarian they were foreign students and they spoke English. So the waitress also came for them and gave them the menu and took their order. After about half an hour the waitress brings the food for them. One the them wasn’t satisfied with his food so he called the waitress and tried to explain to her that he doesn’t like the food and that there’s something wrong with it.

The guy was trying to explain the waitress that he doesn’t like the food by doing some facial expression and he told her “Nem Jo” and he delivered to the waitress the message he was trying to send. The waitress understood what he was trying to say after a while but could not answer or do anything because she can’t speak English. So she goes and brings the chef.

...Part I Essay For ages we all have craved the body of an Adonis/ Aphrodite`s, some say that this are just genes passed on, some say that you can only get it with intense training at least 4 times a week. But the 21 century, the century of speed, no one has time to lose countless hours in the gym so we started looking for some help. We tried different chemicals but in the end we realized that the answer was still in Mother Nature. And so Raspberry Ketone was discovered. A raspberry ketone is generally described as the aromatic element of a raspberry that one first recognizes when in close proximity of a raspberry. While this ketone clearly affects the scent associated with a raspberry, this is not the only thing that can be affected by a raspberry ketone, though. More specifically, raspberry ketones are now being associated with not only weight loss and fat burning, but they are also being through to aid in reducing the likelihood of having liver cancer and cell damage. Raspberry Ketone represents a new element on the market that helps in the fight for a perfect body, sustaining weight loss and fat burning. Just recently been proven to give individuals who regularly consume this product the upper hand in the battle against weight again and fat retention.

...Louis 1 Ansley Louis Professor Matthew McEver English Composition 1101 September 20, 2015 A World Divided The crystal blue waterfalls and crystalized sand shimmered as it fell through our hands. Beautiful people came from around the world to glimpse famous people visiting the island, or to get away from the hardship and stress of their everyday lives. As for me, I saw the poverty of Nassau, Bahamas. Desperate people crowded the straw market and stared across the bridge at Atlantis where vacationers slept in Mahogany furnished rooms with luxurious bedding. Why did the residents have to live the way they do, sleeping on dirt floors? Into the night, the brilliant lights of Atlantis became a world miles away, but out of grasp. We approached the market eager to do some local shopping. Hundreds of vendors brought everything they created to start their marketing line. We live in the U.S., where items are ready-made and disposable, and, if something breaks, we buy a new one. I began thinking about my Michael Kors sunglasses that I had broken on the boat and how I was going to order a new pair when I arrived home. This venue, this world I walked into, was a world that required thought and imagination, of taking the very least commodity they had and turning it into a marketable item to sell, not for the latest technological device or new shoes, but to put food on the table. It humbled me immensely. Louis 2 I approached an elderly man, who looked to be about eighty years...

...creatures on earth to introduce new forms of communication. They have the power to create new words and express feelings through these words. Having the ability to express feeling through communication is a powerful thing. It takes great creativity to detach oneself from their surroundings to see the irony in the meaning of the words. Humans are able to produce communication, but what makes them special are the different ways they communicate. In today’s society, people use five basic forms to communicate. First they use body language as a way of communication. An example of this would be people who talk with their hands or facial expressions. Second they use the tone of voice. To communicate through speaking it is necessary to listen to the pitch, volume, inflection, and pace. The third way of communication is using words. As humans we have the capability to put words into sentences making them have meaning to others. Most people use words...

...novel’s protagonist, Piscine ‘Pi’ Patel, a character that dedicates himself and practices many different types of religions such as Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism. Yann Martel makes a clear indication on how faith brings a person together and how faith and religion brought Pi to the person he is today. These 3 religions play an important role in Pi’s life as Pi refers to God many times throughout his devastating journey on the lifeboat. The novel, The Life of Pi, by Yann Martel offers and gives the reader the most accurate definition of religion, which is incorporated by simply and basically having faith. At the beginning of the novel Francis Adirubasamy states that Pi’s story of survival is “…a story that will make you believe in God” (Martel. 21). This story makes you believe the ideology of religion and notion of God due to the fact that Pi’s devotion to God helps him obtain freedom from this horrific incident, that God gave Pi strength, and that God performed miracles to help Pi survive and continue living on his journey. The main character Pi Patel dedicates himself to the religions of Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam. Pi brings himself closer to the deities of each religion by following specific religious customs, festivals, and...

...operator in an inefficient, highly fragmented industry, if and only if, the sole cause of unprofitability is inadequate sales volume. This is most likely to be true in an industry where efficient, low cost operations can only be carried out after a substantial infrastructure investment and can not be sustained at a low sales volume. In such a case, it would not be surprising to see the established, efficient (and unprofitable) business secure a dominant share of the fragmented industry and earn an extraordinary return on capital once sales volume has increased. Where a marginal sale is ridiculously profitable, advertising costs will serve to entrench the position of the business with the highest volume and the lowest costs. Now you know why you see so many GEICO ads on cable TV. It all began in the family grocery store back in Omaha. Buffett's great grandfather started the store in 1869 and it was in the Buffet family until 1969, till his uncle finally retired.

...Languages You have chosen to pursue a college education, which is admirable. College classes are rarely easy, and since your native language is not English, you have extra work to do— but you are more to be admired for the extra effort. Interestingly enough, although you have an additional hurdle of writing in English, your study of the language as an English as a Second Language (ESL) learner puts you ahead of most native speakers: (1) you do not automatically learn the bad habits and slang that native speakers assume are correct, (2) you acquire an understanding of the elements of grammar that native speakers rarely bother to learn, and (3) your perspective of communication and your thought processes are different from those of native English speakers, so your writing easily can be more interesting and fresh than that of native speakers, who too often rely on clichés and old, tired phrases. Officially denied (but known by experienced students) is that good, clear writing can cover a multitude of content weaknesses—in other words, even the most austere and reserved of teachers cannot avoid being affected ever-so-slightly toward the positive if the essay he or she is reading is well written and errorless—even if the premise of the essay is that Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1992 in the Pinta, the Niña, and the Andrea Doria. The Key to Good Writing in English is Simplicity but The Great Golden Doorway to Good Writing is Rewriting! Do not commit yourself to what you have...
