What is BREEDING in Spanish?

Was one like him in Noah's Ark? Probably not.
BREEDING in its simpler definition means producing offspring, but it's in a different context a term a bit difficult to explain but one that most people involved in the BREEDING activity understand easily. In Spanish it would be the same as Raising only with the additional idea that it is done with a purpose other than raising animals per se and thus the translation would be CRIANZA DE ANIMALES. 
It refers to the raising of animals with the sole purpose of improving the presence of certain characteristics of that animal, diminishing others or both things at the same time. Horses and dogs are a clear example of this. 
Man has been tampering with the natural development of these species by selecting individuals that have the characteristics he considered “desirable” and relegating the rest to other tasks but not BREEDING. Horses that are better trotters, dogs with elongated bodies and cows that produce abysmal amounts of milk are the result of this intervention.
Whether BREEDING is morally acceptable or not, that has been matter of debate for as long as I remember, but one thing is for certain and that is BREEDING is not going anywhere and perhaps that’s for the best. Who would say German Shepherd dogs (that without BREEDING would not exist) are not wonderful animals? Who would deny the importance of milk and other dairy products in the nutrition of our children?
These are already too many things for us to quit.

What are LAS TRES MARÍAS called in English?

Image
(Left to right:  Alnitak ,  Alnilam  and  Mintaka )  The TRES MARIAS is this group of three bright stars that are apparently at the same distance from one another though in reality none is at the same distance. They are called like that in most of Latin America and apparently they are called the THREE KINGS (the Magi) in the Philippine Islands. The TRES MARIAS after whom those stars are named are Mary, mother of Jesus; Mary Magdalene and Mary, the wife of Clopas (probably a relative of Jesus's). To find them in the sky means you are also looking at the constellation of Orion (the Warrior), to be more precise, its belt because that is precisely what the TRES MARIAS are called in English: Orion's Belt.

The Maps of Ship-Trap Island

Image
Once I had my high school students read The Most Dangerous Game, a short story by Richard Connell. Rainsford, the main character, is a professional hunter traveling by ship to his next hunting area, accidentally ends up in an island called Ship- Trap island. When he goes into the island he finds there are two men living in a palace in the island. One of them is a Cossack general and the other, his brutish servant.  The Cossack is called general Zaroff who is also  a game hunter but has become bored of hunting regular game and now uses the island's unique position to capture sailors from shipwrecks. He lets them go first and next after some time he hunts them down. Rainford's arrival who is worldwide famous presents Zaroff with a rare opportunity to find excitement in hunting again by hunting another hunter. Little does Zaroff know that Rainsford is The Most Dangerous Game in the World and hunting him will not be easy at all. My students enjoyed themselves at reading

How do you say NACIMIENTO NAVIDEÑO in English?

Image
"Oh no! Not another power blackout!"             NACIMIENTO NAVIDEÑO or PESEBRE NAVIDEÑO is a tradition which consists in recreating the moment of Jesus Christ's birth with small figures representing Joseph, Mary, the shepherds and the Wise Kings. Baby Jesus is set on December 25th of course, while the other figures are placed before, usually at the beginning of December.       The translation is NATIVITY SCENE, though some people only say CHRISTMAS SCENE. This last term is a bit broad -- even an image of Santa Claus riding his sleigh falls under that description. Saying CHRISTMAS NATIVITY SCENE would be perhaps more appropriate.                                                                                        Merry Christmas!
