Carnitine is a chemical found in red meat and whole milk. It is also an over-the-counter supplement. It can be found on animals, bacteria, and some plants.

This energy is then stored in the skeletal muscles, heart, and brain. Carnitine is an amino acid that can be found as a white crystalline powder.

It is essential to understand America’s critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR) and National Infrastructure Protection Program (NIPP) to ensure survivability of its critical assets, while maintaining security for America. “The plans are carried out in practice by an integrated network of Federal departments and agencies, State and local government agencies, private sector entities, and a growing number of regional consortia (DHS, 2009, p. I).” Several agencies work together to mitigate attacks on CIKR to protect public safety and security of the nation. A terrorist may stop at nothing to carry out an attack on CIKR. If an attack or natural disaster does transpire, each agency working together to restore the damage must be timely.

Coming from a heavily Italian family line, there are some traditions and rituals that we do and some that we do not do because we have become Americanized. For example, there are certain Italian foods that typically do not appear at the dinner tables of American families during holidays. During Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, my family makes a special Italian appetizer called “antipasto”, which is generally spicy Italian offerings, cold cuts, and special Italian cheeses. Also during those dinners, there is a heavy pasta dish that is eaten before the main course. During Christmas, my family shows off our Italian culture by putting up the “presepio”. “The presepio (manger or crib) represents in miniature the Holy Family in the stable and is the center of Christmas for families” (Christmas in Italy: Traditions 1). My family has kept these examples of Italian culture alive and we practice them in America. A part of our Italian culture that my family gave up in America is the Italian language. The older generations of family that were Italian born typically threw away the Italian language when coming to America. English took precedent over any other language because it was the language that was spoken by the majority of Americans. In America my family has adjusted to the American traditions, but kept some parts of Italian culture alive in our American

The Italian Renaissance was a period in history unlike most others; this was an era of ingenuity, expansion, and enlightenment that would revolutionize both society as the people of the Renaissance knew it to be, and as the future generations of individuals across the globe understand it today.

In Stephen King’s book, On Writing, he says that the main character of The Green Mile, John Coffey, is “an innocent man likely to be executed for the crime of another, [and that he] decided to give him the initials J.C., after the most famous innocent man of all time.” He goes further, saying that he “first saw this done in Light in August (still my favorite Faulkner novel), where the sacrificial lamb is named Joe Christmas.” Not unlike Christmas, Coffey is a character about whom the reader, or, perhaps, the viewer, is given bits and pieces of information - all of which are vital, and most of which are easily overlooked. Undoubtedly, Coffey’s most notable and defining characteristic is his innocence - in the sense of both his legal absence
