My favourite sport is running. There are just times when you feel like you just want to get up and run!  I for instance, would just grab my I-pod and run out when I need to belt out my frustrations and woes. It works every time!

It also decreases the chances of getting a stroke or a heart attack since it lowers the blood pressure and maintains the elasticity of your arteries. It slows down the aging process because of the toxins you sweat out and the strength- training you give to your muscles and bones.  Psychologically, running releases the “happy hormones” or endorphins responsible for that natural high.

Carmakers at that time used parts that were made by other companies and put them all together. Ford’s company made every part that went into its cars. What’s more, the company made sure that each kind of part was the same.

In 1908 Ford introduced the Model "T". This car worked well and wasn't expensive. It was a big success, but the company couldn’t manufacture them quickly. In 1913 Henry Ford built a large factory with the conveyor.

Instead of having workers go from car to car, the cars moved gently down a line while mechanics stood in place adding parts to them. Each worker added a different part until a whole car was put together. It helped to produce more cars. By 1918 half of all automobiles in the United States of America were Model "Ts". Ford’s company became the largest machine manufacturer in the world. And Ford had transformed the process of manufacturing
