Americans have a right to the security of their personal information, and the entities that hold personal information have a responsibility to protect it.

 from tangible things like butterflies, to abstract entities like geometric shapes. So, what does it mean for an object to be symmetric?

 sleep paralysis regularly and it may be linked to sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, many who experience an episode of sleep paralysis do so infrequently, perhaps only once in a lifetime. So you can rest easy, knowing that an evil entity is not trying to haunt, possess, strangle, or suffocate you.

 The different particles are responsible for all the richness in the world around us. And there you see unification, because matter particles, electrons and quarks, radiation particles, photons, gravitons, are all built up from one entity.

 and a lot of the world will not get that money in credit. So there will be a big differentiation as to which entities benefit and which entities don't. And there will be a big collaboration as to how we will deal with that bill
