			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The concept of multiple universes, also known as multiverse, dates back to as far as 1954 when a young doctoral candidate from Princeton University by the name of Hugh Everette III suggested that parallel universes exist. This theory suggests that there are other universes that have branched off each other, and likewise, ours has branched from another universe. In these other universes, the outcomes of things are much different from what we have experienced. Wars have ended differently, animals that are extinct here are not elsewhere, and in some universes, we are extinct. Multiverses have been studied by numerous philosophers and scientists as well as in cosmology, physics, astronomy, and religion. This concept is very popular in science fictions and fantasy books.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Philosophers have become concerned with the “bifurcation points”, which means that the decisions that we make in our current universe are made by beings of consciousness and when we make a choice, the reality splits and becomes separate, but we continue in the other universe with the opposing decision of the one that was made. The variation of this is when we begin to create our own reality. When we have hopes and dreams that do not manifest immediately, we tend to give up on them and start a new dream. Philosophers are beginning to believe that when we give up on our dreams here, the “us”, in the multiverse continue on with that dream until it comes true. The only thing that they have yet to determine is what happens when we do not give up. Do we create a large void in our other life or do we continue as usual and receive twice the success?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While some people conclude that the possibility of <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;"><a href="http://www.quantumjumping.com/articles/parallel-universe/multiple-universes-and-quantum-jumping-how-to-enhance-your-life">multiple universes</a></span></strong> is just a theory, NASA has retrieved data from their WMAP satellite that they believe, offers proof. This satellite has gathered information about space to help scientists learn more about our own galaxy. However, what they discovered was a void in the Constellation of Eridanus that is roughly 10,000 times the size of our galaxy, but without stars, dust, nebulae or any other materials that we would find here. Scientists have come to the conclusion that this large void is the proof that they have needed to confirm that there may be another universe parallel with ours. More research needs to be done to truly confirm or deny the existence of another world, but quantum physicists at the California University have successfully completed tests that lead them to believe time travel is possible. They believe that they have uncovered a multi-state condition that enhances the probability that an object in front of you may exist simultaneously in a parallel universe.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Whether you believe the theory or not, it is interesting to believe that the decisions we make in our reality, may not just affect us here, but may span across a galaxy and affect an alternate version of ourselves. That if we are unable to manifest our wants and desires in this world, we may be doing so in another, without even realizing it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">When you sit on the cliff tops in morning and watch the Atlantic surf crash which is on rocks below then you must have glimpse into parallel world. This fact is seen by so many people several times. Today when window was appeared in between the sky and the sea it was far 2 meters in the front of view. This window always use to open at one side and doesn't show the view at the others site. This opening is quite straight and so it could not be obvious. If you try to look from a broken mirror which is cracked in mid then also the view which you can observe will be the fragmented view only.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is a set theory that there are two universes which co exists concurrently in a parallel way. Science and TV programs always use to view parallel universes and this phenomena being a strange but proved. There are some purely science fiction but it is gradually that physics and philosophy and even this fiction is contemplated into the possibility of the worlds that are to be reality. Perhaps there are lots of fiction theories related to the existence of <strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;"><a href="http://www.quantumjumping.com/articles/parallel-universe/parallel-worlds-theory-and-existence-of-parallel-worlds">parallel worlds</a></span></strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is a basic idea that if this universe is infinite then this is good to be everything which could take place at its place in a right way. The theory of parallel worlds has number of possibilities and for the same things. This theory works on the imagination only. Some scientists have divided the worlds in two categories one is earth and the other one is whole space area where lots of space bodies lies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In space since all heavenly bodies are quite different and strange till now for the human life on the earth. The parallel world exists in different types of densities which change the whole look of all solar systems all over the universe. These two words one is universe and another one is world are quite different as universe consists of all bodies which lie in space while world means the things which lies on earth only either water, land, forest, and land whatever earth consist within it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to the theory this can be that universe exists which is completely different in the views of physics theory and mathematics etc. there is no limit to the possibility which lies beyond the universe. Now let we consider the facts about the parallel views of worlds that always when there is any idea arouse about the theory of existence of parallel worlds that is there are two different views of worlds. These parallel worlds can be the destinations about to reach by travel and other can exercise about the regression. Outcomes of some major events which can define the existence which may be complete for different universe. After the great invention and discovery which are made when man has ideas to think beyond all obvious things in the world. This was the idea of parallel world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Canada Day celebrations range from silly to sombre</h1>
<h3>Coast-to-coast festivities ring in 141st birthday</h3>
<h5>Canwest News Service&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Published: Wednesday, July 02, 2008</h5>
<p>Across the country, Canadians came out to celebrate the nation's 141st birthday on Tuesday in their own distinct ways, from embracing silliness to remembering those who gave their lives.<a href="http://selfpursuit.com/files/CanadaDaycelebrationsroundup_E303/CANADAflag.gif"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 15px 0px 15px 20px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="141" alt="CANADAflag" src="http://selfpursuit.com/files/CanadaDaycelebrationsroundup_E303/CANADAflag_thumb.gif" width="260" align="right" border="0" /></a></p>
<p align="justify">Before ending in a burst of fireworks and jubilation, there were bittersweet moments.</p>
<p align="justify">At the National War Memorial in downtown St. John's, N.L., veterans, officials, Legion members, peace officers, nurses and military personnel gathered to honour soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Battle of Beaumont Hamel in the First World War.More than 230 soldiers were killed, 386 wounded and 91 went missing in action on July 1, 1916, when soldiers of the Newfoundland Regiment started to cross 200 metres of no man's land toward a German position near the French town.</p>
<p>At Halifax's Pier 21, the historic entry point for immigrants was packed as family and friends celebrated the country's newest citizens. Sixty-one people were sworn in Tuesday from 27 different countries.</p>
<p>Florencia Berakha said she felt &quot;proud and grateful&quot; of acquiring her citizenship, adding she was &quot;very happy and willing to contribute to my community and this province in particular.&quot;</p>
<p>In Montreal, organizers said a crowd of at least 100,000 attended the annual loud-and-proud Canada Day parade. Enthusiastic, flag-bedecked spectators, many in family groups, lined up patiently for slices of the traditional birthday cake at the end of the event.</p>
<p>A total of about 60 groups participated, including several marching bands. &quot;It was very smooth,&quot; said Leo Fauvel, one of the organizers.</p>
<p>In Vancouver, German-born Katja Magarin, 30, was sworn in as a new Canadian at Canada Place.</p>
<p>After she and the 79 others had taken the oath of citizenship with its three promises -- faithfulness to the Queen of Canada, adherence to the laws of Canada and fulfilling the duties of a good citizen -- they were invited to approach the platform that included B.C.</p>
<p>Lt.-Gov. Steven Point and Rear Admiral Tyrone Pile, commander of the Joint Task Force Pacific region.</p>
<p>As the admiral shook Magarin's hand, she leaned towards him and whispered: &quot;I'm joining up tomorrow.&quot;</p>
<p>Magarin is applying for a commission in the Canadian Forces as an artillery officer. She already has military experience serving with the German military.</p>
<p>&quot;But all they will allow women to be are medics,&quot; she said.</p>
<p>In Regina, partygoers flocked to the shores of Wascana Lake on the legislative grounds for free birthday cake and the fourth annual Plywood Cup competition.</p>
<p>Enterprising boatsmen armed with duct tape and plywood took up the challenge of building a water-worthy craft which they then attempted to paddle across the lake. Twenty teams took part -- many of them sinking before they reached lan d.</p>
<p>And in Edmonton, thousands of revellers, including one wearing a Superman costume, crammed into the downtown for the city's annual Silly Summer parade.</p>
<p>In Ottawa, tens of thousands of flag-waving people in red and white gathered on Parliament Hill, joining Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean and Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Mounties escorted a carriage carrying Jean, her husband and daughter, who waved to the cheering crowd. Jean then inspected a ceremonial guard as a 21-gun salute marked the occasion.</p>
<p>Shortly after CF-18s and Snowbird jets roared above the gathering, the prime minister spoke to the crowd on the Hill.</p>
<p>&quot;On behalf of Canada, I wish you all a happy Canada Day,&quot; said Harper. &quot;Today is the day we celebrate our home and native land.&quot;</p>
<p>The Governor General also spoke to the crowds. &quot;Happy Birthday, Canada, I love you,&quot; said Jean.</p>

<p>Earth Day celebrants fixed trails, picked up trash and talked recycling at parks, workplaces and schools across the nation Tuesday, the 38th anniversary of the environmental holiday.
<p>Earth Day was founded by Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. senator from Wisconsin, in 1970. He wrote he wanted to "infuse the student anti-war energy into the environmental cause." Now, corporations, governments and individuals pitch in.
<p>â€¢<b>In Washington state,</b> 18 volunteers repaired winter snow damage on the north side of Mount Rainier National Park, said Lauren Braden of the non-profit Washington Trails Association. "We've had record snowfall, so most of our work parties are working on lower elevation trails," Braden said.
<p>â€¢<b>In Weyers Cave, Va., </b>Blue Ridge Community College students made a statement with a huge display of trash, with recyclables sorted.
<p>â€¢<b>In Albany, N.Y.,</b> the Office of General Services announced it is replacing foam polystyrene plates and cups with biodegradable products made from bamboo and grass at cafeterias that serve 9,500 state workers and visitors daily.
<p>â€¢<b>In the nation's capital,</b> Metro riders received free chocolate bars for saving 20 pounds of carbon emissions by riding the subway on Earth Day.
<p>â€¢<b>In downtown Indianapolis,</b> companies jumped at the chance to get rid of old computers, monitors and mice at the nation's first Million Square Foot eCycling Event, which collected more than 25,000 pounds of electronics.
<p>â€¢<b>In Sioux Falls,</b> Kali Drewes, 18, bagged trash with employees of the wireless company Unicel at Sertoma Park. "It's sad it takes Earth Day to get out and clean up," Drewes said.

<p>KITTANNING TWP. - Plant Earth received a helping hand from Kittanning Township Elementary yesterday. </p>
<p>Celebrating Earth Day, all of the students in kindergarten through sixth grade joined hands in one large circle surrounding the outside of the school building and passed the messae "Happy Birthday, Earth Day" from one to another.
<p>Later students put their hands in the earth to plant seeds, pull weeds and clean up the school grounds. <a href="http://selfpursuit.com/files/GreenNewsRounduponEarthDay_BE11/10crossroad.jpg"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 5px; border-right-width: 0px" height="244" alt="10crossroad" src="http://selfpursuit.com/files/GreenNewsRounduponEarthDay_BE11/10crossroad_thumb.jpg" width="163" align="right" border="0"></a>
<p>They and other students at many of the schools in the county were learning the lessons of how to take care of the plant, celebrate nature and appreciate the resources the earth provides.
<p>"<strong>It's a way to teach kids to take care of the air, water, land and animals</strong>," said teacher Sue Girardi of the all-day, all-out, schoolwide Earth Day program.
<p>"It's teaching a responsibility to the environment."
<p>Students worked on activities and projects in their classrooms and music and art rooms all week to prepare for Earth Day.
<p><strong>Everyone planted something. Everyone made something.</strong>
<p>Grocery bags were decorated with Earth Day sayings, poems and designs and sent to a grocery store to be used at the checkouts.
<p>The school held a rally about the hirstory of Earth Day. Students even made up their own Earth Day song for the occasion.
<p>"We've been working on the courtyard, all the live long day... <strong>using all our tools, making it look cool."</strong>
<p>The song is a good one for Earth Day, according to fourth grade student Austin Roncher.
<p><strong>"It's about the earth, us fixing it, cleaning it and helping it," he said.</strong>
