Spain parliament fights for the rights of primates

Spain, which is well-known for its bullfights, may not seem like it would be a pioneer in animal rights. On Wednesday, however, Spain’s parliament gave support to resolutions that ensure great apes will be entitled to rights such as life and freedom, under guidelines set by The Great Ape Project. The project was founded in 1993 by two philosophers to advocate rights for the animals just below humans on the evolutionary ladder- primates such as chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. The Spanish director of the Great Apes Project says that the day “will doubtless go down in the history of humanity” as an achievement for animal rights. It is expected that improvements for zoo conditions, as well as laws prohibiting harmful experiments on apes and keeping apes in circuses, will be in full swing within a year.

*be entitled to: have the right to
~받을 자격이 있다, ~할 권리가 있다- To furnish with a right or claim to something, be qualified for by right according to law

*evolutionary ladder: hierarchy, ranking of evolution
진화의, 진화론적의 사다리/ 진화 사다리

*go down in history:
역사에 남다; 역사적으로 중요하다고 인정되다-to be recorded in a particular way.

*be in full swing: be booming, in full effect
본격적으로; 최고조로-moving quickly forward.

Herons cause a stink in Seonggari

Every year when over 1,000 snowy herons drop by the village of Seonggari, in North Cholla province, curious bird watchers from far and wide visit the city to check out the birds. However, while the birds are considered Korean national treasures, many residents of Seonggari think they are a major headache. Despite the flocks of tourists, residents are fed up with the birds, which are making the village stink to high heaven. Along with the herons’ pungent droppings, there is a nasty stench from fish, frog, and snake carcasses the birds hunt for their young. If that wasn’t bad enough, the acidity of the birds’ droppings can eat away at rooftops and fences, their nests can destroy trees, and they trample over rice paddies.

*drop by:
잠깐 들르다, 불시에 찾아가다 , stop by, pop in-To stop in for a short visit
drop by for …하러 들르다.

*from far and wide:
사방으로[도처에서]부터, near and far, from across the nation, from many places.

*be a (major) headache: pain in the neck, butt(a ~) 골칫[걱정]거리, 짐이 되는 것- Something, such as a problem, that causes annoyance or trouble.

*be fed up with: sick of
(~에) 물리다, 싫증나다, 진절머리가 난다- be fed to death, to be bored or angry because a bad situation has continued for too long or a subject has been discussed too much.

*stink to high heaven:
지독한 악취를 풍기다/ 아주 좋지 않다/ 의심스럽다, 수상쩍다 smell to high heaven, to smell very bad

*along with …와 함께[같이]:along with others 다른 사람[것]들과 함께[같이]

*eat away 마구 먹어대다;먹어 들어가다;<녹 등이> 부식하다

Math makes perfect sandwich

Scientists have developed a mathematical formula for the production of an ideal cheese sandwich. Sensory analysts at Bristol University devised the 9-part equation which involves factors such as the volume of mayonnaise and the thickness of the cheese slices. Geoff Nute and his team used human guinea pigs and comprehensive measuring devices on hundreds of Cheddar samples to map the perfect sandwich. Trained taste testers, colorometers and pressure sensors obtained precise measurements of the yellowness, crumbliness, creaminess and tanginess of the various Cheddars in order to gauge the optimal thickness of the cheese in the sandwiches. Philip Crawford, chairman of the West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers cooperative was impressed with the results, saying that the collaboration revealed the blueprint to everyone’s perfect sandwich.

*human guinea pigs
인간실험대상
A person who is used as a subject for experimentation or research.
a person used in an experiment
someone who is an object of investigation

*map
지도를 만들다, 측량하다, 정확, 자세하게 적다, 세밀하게 계획하다(=lay out)
To depict as if on a map
To plan or delineate, especially in detail; arrange

*collaboration
협동, 합작, 공동연구
act of working jointly=coaction, cooperation, teamwork
+in collaboration with~와 협력하여

*blueprint

면밀한 계획을 세우다, 상세한 계획, 청사진
A detailed plan of action
A contact print of a drawing or other image rendered as white lines on a blue background, especially such a print of an architectural plan or technical drawing. Also called cyanotype.

*** The formula is
W = [1 + ((bd)/6.5)) - s + ((m-2c)/2) + ((v+p)/7t)] (100 + l/100) ***

W equals the thickness of Cheddar in millimetres, b the thickness of bread, d the dough flavour modifier, s the thickness of margarine or butter, m the thickness of mayonnaise, c the creaminess modifier, v the thickness of tomato, p the depth of pickle, t the tanginess modify and l the thickness of the lettuce layer.
