"On this day in 1981, MTV began broadcasting for the first time.
The new cable channel was out to pioneer a new frontier in music broadcasting and for that, it’s first few minutes on air were very appropriate. At 12:01 a.m. Aug. 1, they played footage of 1981’s space shuttle launch and the 1969 moon landing (both set to rock music), followed by the first music video in the channel’s history -- the Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star.”"

How much you sweat does not actually determine how good your workout is. Everyine is born with a different amount of sweat glands.
If you have hard brown sugar just add a slice of bread or marshmallow to the bag and seal it. It will give out moisture and soften up.

Apr 20, 2010 - Red meats, such as beef, are composed of quite a bit of water. This water, mixed with a protein called myoglobin, ends up comprising most of that red liquid. In fact, red meat is distinguished from white meat primarily based on the levels of myoglobin in the meat. The more myoglobin, the redder the meat."0 -

So since you won't tell us what it is I googled it. It is.....The red liquid, instead, is a mixture of water and a protein called myoglobin, whose purpose is to help ship oxygen to muscle cells. Myoglobin is deeply pigmented, which is why the more myoglobin a meat contains, the darker (or redder) the meat will be.0 -

@Monkey_Business already said that
Oh.... I have my Friday reading glasses on I guess. Here are some more facts about it than.
Myoglobin is released from damaged muscle tissue (rhabdomyolysis), which has very high concentrations of myoglobin. The released myoglobin is filtered by the kidneys but is toxic to the renal tubular epithelium and so may cause acute kidney injury.[13] It is not the myoglobin itself that is toxic (it is a protoxin) but the ferrihemate portion that is dissociated from myoglobin in acidic environments (e.g., acidic urine, lysosomes).
Myoglobin is a sensitive marker for muscle injury, making it a potential marker for heart attack in patients with chest pain.0 -

That's true, but they don't generally use myoglobin for tracking cardiac damage. They use troponin because it's a protein that is specific to damaged heart muscle.
Also, if one has rhabdomyolysis, one will likely have coca-cola colored urine as a result of the myoglobin in the urine.
