Leaving his post, U.S. President George W. Bush told reporters that the Bible is likely to stick with not literally, and the belief that God created the world, is compatible with the theory of evolution, reported today the British The Daily Telegraph.

In an interview with ABC's George W. Bush spoke about the duality of life events. Noting that he had just a simple president and will soon leave the White House, Bush drew the attention of the interlocutors that "evolution - an interesting subject."

Sometimes, it seems, the president said that "evolution is not fully explain the mystery of life." "I believe that God created the Earth, created the world" - he said, adding that creation of the world - a mysterious phenomenon that requires something so great and almighty, it can not be inconsistent with scientific findings about evolution.

The last minutes of 2008 will have 61 seconds

The last minutes of 2008 will have sixty seconds to correct an anomaly among a small atomic clocks and astronomical time, based on the rotation of the Earth.

Second are used to maintain aligned the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) with the scalar variable astronomical GMT and Universal Time (UTI). But the International Telecommunication Union has proposed to abolish such interest and add a second shift an hour every 600 years or so, reports the weekly New Scientist.

This would have important implications for the UK, because when referring to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) lose its current international status as the area where the local time coincides with the universal time for that regulates all watches.

That

Time zone or universal time would be shifting to the east to Paris for hundreds of years before returning again to Greenwich, a town near London. The proposed change would also mean that for the first time the official time would not be linked to the astronomical rotation of the Earth.

Instead of the seconds, minutes and hours are regulated by the time the rotation of the Earth, would be measured solely in accordance with the oscillations of cesium atoms. "Such a change would have profound cultural implications," says Robert Massey, of the Royal Astronomical Society of Great Britain.

Also have implications for astronomers, they would have to modify the operating software of their telescopes.

The time is now estimated in several ways: until 1972 was made with reference to GMT, ie the time the solar environment in Royal Greenwich Observatory. Universal Time (UTI) is a modern version of GMT, which is calculated by dividing a rotation of the Earth in 86,400 seconds.

But the planet is slowing gradually, so in 1972 adopted a new standard, based on high-precision atomic clocks.

The International Atomic Time (English initials: TAI, which is responsible for the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Paris), now defined as equivalent to a second 9.192,631.770 oscillations of an atom of cesium-133. In 1972, ten seconds were added to the interlayer UTC and have since added other twenty-three seconds, the last time at the end of 2005.

Scientists believe, however, that all this creates much confusion and can disrupt the functioning of some software. United States unsuccessfully proposed a change in 2005 and this year the International Telecommunication Union has once again raise the issue.

A working group created for that purpose last June published a report according to which most experts are in favor of removing the second interlayer and propose changes.

Next year will be surely a vote on this, and if 70% of the 191 members of that body approves it, the matter shall be referred to the World Radio Conference in 2011, which will take the final decision. Britain and China are opposed to change while the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Russia and Japan that are in favor.

Learn Spanish games and my experience with gaming environment | Good and bad

The other day I went online to find some learn Spanish methods. It appeared to me that one of the best ways to learn it would be to play some learn Spanish games or may be to buy an interactive guide. It something that really struck me as a method working and I must admit that I was convinced that it would work. Just think about it. There is really not that many other solutions that can beat a good old fashioned game. It is not a bad way to approach things, the fun way! I tried other methods of learning Spanish, for example I consulted a portal once http://learnspanishgames.wordpress.com/2008/12/02/learn-spanish-games/ which talked about these things. But they all seemed to be boring, I could never force my self to spend more than a couple of hours playing these games. I appreciated the time and effort that the makers put into those games, but it didn't change their dullness one bit. I went on to look for paid solution, it's my logic that if you pay for something then it's going to be better than it's free counterpart. These methods are becoming more and more popular you know, they often mention in the news and I saw it in a documentary once. This television program was based on a set of interviews with professionals in the education environment, who discussed good and bad ways of learning and remembering. The majority of those methods consisted of interactive techniques and methods which were engaging and fun. When I saw it I got goose bumps, it was so true! Dang, those guys really knew what they were talking about. One popular game of memorization consisted of making up a story, where the main characters were the objects that you had to memorize. Learning Spanish is a passion of mine, I will definitely try these methods. This learn Spanish animated was peculiar. You would walk from one world to the next. Each level had a story behind it. There was a side kick person that would talk in Spanish about everything that you saw. The surrounding were well drawn and incited interest in me. The further I went the more words I would memorize. The Spanish words that were used were pretty simple. Old locations and things would resurface so I would play the back in my mind. The further you went the more you understood that you learned a great deal. It was also very encouraging. You would get words of approval every time you remember an object correctly. Unfortunately it was severe also. You knew right away that you did not remember the right thing, it was very obvious on the characters face. I really liked it and it helped me a lot
