Our cosmos was "bruised" in collisions with other universes. Now astronomers have found the first evidence of these impacts in the cosmic microwave background. There's something exciting afoot in the world of cosmology. Last month, Roger Penrose at the University of Oxford and Vahe Gurzadyan at Yerevan State University in Armenia announced that they had found patterns of concentric circles in the cosmic microwave background, the echo of the Big Bang. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/submit-an-article/15029-before-the-conventional-big-bang-Our cosmos was "bruised" in collisions with other universes.

The hunt for the world’s most extraordinary filmmaker in the Welcome to the Extraordinary film competition has ended, with the winner having been selected from an array of entries by a panel of industry experts.
Actor Mathew Horne fronted the campaign along with Raindance, the UK’s largest independent film organisation, and sponsors InterCasino, one of the world’s first online casinos. Filmmakers were invited to submit a short film bringing to life their perception of ‘the extraordinary’ for the Welcome to the Extraordinary film competition.
Amongst the entries was the winning film, titled ‘Clown Showdown’ and created by Kevin Curtis from the UK. The film sees a girl stand up to a clown in a quiet cul-de-sac, and received a united positive response from the judges, awarding Kevin with the prize of having his film screened at the Raindance Film Festival in September and a trip to the 2011 Cannes International Film Festival.
With the simple brief of demonstrating what ‘the extraordinary’ meant to them, filmmakers submitted a variety of creative and imaginative entries, including the New York Skyline and a film in 360.
A separate YouTube competition also took place, where the film ‘Extraordinary Toys’ created by Toby Dale received the highest number of views as one of the shortlisted films by the industry panel, winning tickets to the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) after-show party.
Judges for the competition included actor Mathew Horne, film journalist Joe Utichi, founder of Raindance Elliot Grove, and InterCasino.
Actor Mathew Horne commented on the competition, “The level and quality of entries we received for the competition was astounding. The winning entry, however, particularly stood out for me. The way in which it was filmed grabbed my attention and it really put across what he found extraordinary.”
InterCasino’s spokesperson also added, “We’re delighted to have joined forces with Raindance and Mathew Horne to have inspired filmmakers to bring to life their interpretation of the extraordinary. We’d like to thank everyone who entered the Welcome to the Extraordinary competition for making it such a great success.”The hunt for the world’s most extraordinary filmmaker in the Welcome to the... more

In order to be naked in front of others, do you have to have a perfect body? In dressing rooms without private stalls why are some women guarded and other women with terrible figures not at all fazed? And, in the case of the naked dressing room, do the same rules apply as the men’s urinal---do you not look? But, really, this is one of the few chances to compare bodies and see what’s really going on underneath clothing. And why is it that usually the girls closest to perfection are the most modest? Is it because they ones with the worst physiques have given up and are too fare gone and have the attitude of “fuck it.” The truth is there is nothing more beautiful than a naked woman with a stunning figure. Artfully posed in photos, they can take your breath away. Naked women…..sirens, but definitely with a catch. Very will written piece that’s unusual, and humorous but also makes you think about something that never would have crossed your mind otherwise. Beautiful images of nude women at bottom of post.In order to be naked in front of others, do you have to have a perfect body? In... more
