Death of Elijah McClain - Wikipedia

Death of Elijah McClain - Wikipedia : I can't breathe. I have my ID right here. My name is Elijah McClain. That's my house. I was just going home. I'm an introvert. I'm just different. That's all. I'm so sorry. I have no gun. I don't do that stuff. I don't do any fighting. Why are you attacking me? I don't even kill flies! I don't eat meat! But I don't judge people, I don't judge people who do eat meat. Forgive me. All I was trying to do was become better. I will do it. I will do anything. Sacrifice my identity, I'll do it. You all are phenomenal. You are beautiful and I love you. Try to forgive me. I'm a mood Gemini. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Ow, that really hurt! You are all very strong. Teamwork makes the dream work. Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to do that. I just can't breathe correctly.

Negentropy - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Negentropy - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia : Negentropy From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search Negentropy is reverse entropy. It means things becoming more in order. By 'order' is meant organisation, structure and function: the opposite of randomness or chaos. One example of negentropy is a star system such as the Solar System. Another example is life. As a general rule, everything in the universe tends towards entropy. Star systems eventually become dead. All energy has gone, and everything in the system is at the temperature of the surrounding space. The opposite of entropy is negentropy. It is a temporary condition in which certain things are hotter and more highly organised than the surrounding space. This is the second law of thermodynamics: The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system always increases over time.[1] Life is considered to be negentropic because it conv

The Best Sun-Protection Clothes for Everyday Wear (2022) | WIRED

The Best Sun-Protection Clothes for Everyday Wear (2022) | WIRED : Parasols Are Back! Coolibar 42-Inch Sodalis Travel Parasol If you're feeling the need to reenact your favorite period film, investing in a parasol is a great idea.

It's a little much for a jaunt to the local caf�, but for a beach trip, having a big sun-repellent umbrella handy will keep you cool and protected from direct sunlight.� As much as I adore the look of those gothic lace parasols, they don't actually provide much, if any, protection from the sun. The Coolibar Sodalis might not be as stylish and dark academia-chic, but it will do a much better job of shielding your skin from the sun.� UPF
